"Delicious! Mmm! It's so f * cking delicious!"
Buck held a large piece of fresh and juicy barbecue meat in his hand and ate until his mouth was covered with oil. "Damn it, Hogg sent us to the mountains to live a hard life, but he's living a comfortable life here!"
"Big brother, I just realized today that we've wasted our previous lives!"
A subordinate next to him also ate until his belly was round. He lay lazily on the leather sofa and did not want to move.
"Hmph, we've helped him earn gold coins before. Now it's time for us to enjoy ourselves."
Buck grinned. "When that Emyr comes back and kills him, I'll be the lord of Ellington. Then I'll let my brothers have a good time!"
"We'll listen to you, big brother!"
"Why hasn't that Emyr come back yet? Hasn't the deputy chief killed him yet?"
A bandit said worriedly. "Don't tell me they've fought their way in?"
"Are you kidding me?"
A guy next to Barker scolded without hesitation. "Those trash want to fight their way into our stronghold? Although that Elsa's monstrous strength is terrifying, don't forget that Ronnie is one of us. Ronnie wouldn't dare to betray big brother. Besides, how can those guys be a match for the deputy chief?"
"That's right, that's right! I'm afraid they'll be scared back after staying at the foot of the mountain for a while."
"Hmph, all of you, take it easy. Don't eat too much. It'll affect the battle later!"
Buck snorted and put down the barbecue meat. Eating too much would make one's ability to move less.
The desire for food was tempting, but losing one's life because of it would be a big loss for a small gain.
"Did that Julie girl do anything strange?"
"I just went to deliver food to Broken Finger. They're still watching that girl. She's been staying there obediently. She didn't eat the food we brought her."
The guy who spoke had a look of pity on his face. "It would be great if she ate it. I put enough medicine in it so that Big Brother can have a good time."
"Humph, that chick is not an ordinary person." Buck licked his lips. "The Rosa d 'Oro family. Just by hearing the name, I feel that it's not ordinary. If I can get her, my life will be worth it."
"Big Brother, why don't we give you a hand and give it a try?"
"Try what?!"
Buck grabbed the wine glass and threw it at him, cursing, "You want to try the magic scroll in that chick's hands? I don't want to die!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Big Brother Buck, you're right…"
"Although that chick is very good, it's not worth the risk for a woman. Our most important task now is to kill that Emyr!"
"Big, big brother! He's back! They're back! That, that Emyr and the others…"
"Why are you panicking?!"
Buck's heart skipped a beat. He shouted at the newcomers, "How many people are there? Were there any casualties? Most importantly, did they carry the box?!"
"No! None of them!"
The man took a deep breath and said, "I only saw them from afar. I didn't see any corpses or chests."
"No battle? No spoils of war?"
Buck was relieved and laughed, "It seems that they really don't have the guts to fight. Brothers, pack up your weapons and follow me to meet that guy called Emyr!"
On the other side, Emyr had just returned to Ellington when he noticed the dense horseshoe prints on the ground.
Julie counted silently and exclaimed, "From these prints, there are at least a hundred of them!"
"It's nothing." Emyr looked indifferent, "Don't forget, you just killed over a hundred bandits."
Hearing Emyr's words, the team that was just a little panicked calmed down again.
Yes, the Lord is right. Just now, there were more than a hundred bandits. They had the geographical advantage, but weren't they still killed by us?
Now that these guys had come to Ellington, who could be more familiar with Ellington than them?
Now that the tables had turned, it was time to let them know how terrifying Ellington's anger was!
Looking at the calm Ellington, Emyr smiled slightly. Buck should know that I'm back by now, right?
Just now, Emyr had purposely let go of the "eye" to inform Buck that they had returned and could prepare to die.
The closer they got to Ellington, the more silent the team became. Everyone held their weapons tightly. They didn't know what was waiting for them. Only their weapons and the Lord's figure could give them peace of mind.
"Clip-clop, clip-clop…"
The hurried sound of horse hooves gradually approached from the street. When the guards heard the sound of horse hooves, they immediately tensed up and stood back to back, ready for battle.
But after a while, the guards were surrounded by the bandits led by Buck.
"Clip-clop…"
The bandits parted to form a path.
"Hurry up! Don't make me do it!"
"Who dares to touch me!?"
Hearing Julie's energetic voice, Emyr knew that his guess was right. Although he didn't know what method Julie used to protect herself, it was obvious that she wasn't hurt at all. His decision not to teleport back was correct. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue Brian.
After a while, Buck, who was riding on a warhorse, appeared in front of Emyr with Julie.
Julie, who had been very nervous and panicked, finally calmed down when she saw Emyr.
She knew that as long as Emyr was here, she wouldn't be in any danger.
Emyr was furious. No matter how many Bucks there were, they wouldn't be enough for him to kill.
"You're Emyr?"
"That's right, I'm Emyr."
"Did you kill Hogg?"
"Oh, you can't even be bothered to call me 'Lord' after he's dead? That trash Hogg really raised a wolf that can't be fed properly."
"Hahahaha —"
Buck laughed maniacally. "A dead man is a dead man. There's no such thing as loyalty or betrayal. He's dead. Do I have to be buried with him?"
Emyr shrugged. "That's your choice."
"Cut the crap!"
Buck jumped off his warhorse and waved his battle axe in front of him. He grinned and said, "Since Hogg is dead, then Ellington is my territory. If you want to be the new Lord of Ellington, then you have to ask for the opinion of my battle axe!"
"Oh …"
Emyr raised his eyebrows and asked the battle axe, "Brother, do you have any objections to me being the lord of Ellington? Let's talk about it. If you don't have any objections, you can just keep quiet."
Battle Axe: "…"
Emyr looked at Barker innocently. "I've asked it. It seems like it has no objections."
Buck: "…"
Julie: "…"
Elsa: "…"
Is this guy an idiot? Is he an idiot? He must be an idiot, right?!
"This idiot is the new lord of Ellington?"
Buck couldn't describe how he felt. It was as if he had punched cotton despite all his strength. It was soft and he felt uncomfortable all over.
"No more jokes."
Emyr waved his hand. "Since you've appeared, I, as the lord of Ellington, sentence you and all your subordinates to death!"
"Haha — there are many people who want to sentence me, but they haven't been born yet! You, will definitely not be one of them!"
Buck picked up his battle axe and pointed at Emyr. "This is where your head will fall!"
Emyr shook his head. "I'm afraid you don't have the ability."
"Whether I have the ability or not, you'll know after you try! Broken Finger! Keep an eye on this girl. She has people here too. She won't use that scroll! Brothers! Follow me and kill them all! Ellington is ours! — Innate Skill — Rallying Cry!"
With a shout, Buck rushed towards Emyr ahead of everyone else!
Following his shout, a circle of elemental halos spread out quickly. Barker's followers grew larger at a visible rate, their blood boiling.
"Oh?"
Emyr was stunned for a moment. It was a group buff type innate skill. No wonder he could become the leader.
However, he wanted to compete with a mere innate skill buff with him?
Emyr sneered. Silently, several magic halos with elemental radiance were cast.
Rank 4 spell — Storm Protection Halo!
Rank 4 spell — Earth's Power Halo!
Rank 5 spell — Arcane Force Halo!
Rank 5 spell — Group Strength Boost!
Rank 6 spell — Wind's Grace Halo!
Rank 6 spell — Physical Damage Suppression!
Smacking his lips, Emyr still felt a little unsatisfied. However, even if it was an ordinary person, with this series of buffs, it would be enough to defeat a few Bronze Rank Prophets, not to mention these guards who had already seen blood.
Almost in an instant, the Guards felt that the weapons in their hands had become very light. At the same time, their bodies had also become very agile. Their reaction speed had become much faster, and their vision had become very clear. It was as if they had received the blessings of the gods!
Danny fervently shouted, "Gods, protect Ellington!" Then, he took the lead and rushed out, completely disregarding the injuries he had just suffered.
Not only Danny, but the others were also excited. This feeling of being full of power and wanting to vent was really too uncomfortable.
And it just so happened that there was the best target to vent on in front of them.
Buck and his subordinates.
Thus, an intense battle broke out in an instant!
"Get lost!"
Elsa's strength was already very great. Now that she had received the buff from Emyr's Strength Spell, her strength increased to an extremely terrifying level.
She was like a heavy war chariot. Wherever she went, no one could stop her!
The bandits' dense battle formation was originally to make it easier for them to charge into the guards, tearing their formation apart and then reap the rewards. Unexpectedly, after Elsa rushed in, she rampaged. Those battle horses were all broken bones and vomited blood. They directly fell to the ground and could not get up.
And those bandits riding battle horses also landed on the ground one by one, continuing to face the berserk Elsa.
At this moment, Elsa was like a god descending from the heavens. No matter whose weapon blocked her, it would be completely destroyed!
