Chapter 924 Barbarians
On the carriage, Merlin kept thinking about the words of Curator Elu, if he could really master the power of giant beasts and strengthen himself through parasitism, this might be the way. $().(w)(x).()
The current Merlin urgently needs the power to protect himself, otherwise, in this strange world, it will be difficult to keep the flames safe. After all, any accident may happen.
"Before my fantasy world is restored, I must rely on the power system of this world."
Merlin has already made a decision in his heart, but he will not be reckless, he has to go back and ask his father for clarification.
*****
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun fell, and there was a slight chill in the air, which made people feel that the temperature seemed to drop a lot.
In the fireplace, the fire was burning very vigorously, and it was reflected on the maid's face, which was red, which was not interesting, but at this time, Earl Steinwyn and a burly man in silver armor in the hall did not I didn't care, but the atmosphere was a little dignified.
"Lord Earl, we have cleared all the members of the Black Bat Army in Boulder City, but there seems to be some bad news from the front line."
This armored man is the commander of Earl Steinven's heavy guard knights. He is called Hansen. He also inherited a bloodline of a giant beast in his body. His strength is very powerful, second only to Earl Steinven.
"what news?"
Earl Steinven was very calm and asked calmly.
"It's about Marshal Kelly. It seems that the Black Bat Army has colluded with the barbarian tribe. Marshal Kelly's defense line has been torn apart. I'm afraid that even Marshal Kelly can't resist the Black Bat army and the barbarian tribe."
Hansen's words immediately angered Earl Steinven. He said coldly: "The tribe of barbarians? The people of the Black Bat Army really deserve to die. They actually colluded with the barbarians. These barbarians are simply not tolerated by the civilized world. However, with the help of the barbarians, Marshal Kelly may not be able to resist The Black Bat Army is gone, our Boulder City and the surrounding territories will become the front line against the Black Bat Army."
Earl Steinwyn frowned, just a Black Bat Army might not be scary. But if you add savages, it will be very scary. These savages are also intelligent, but maybe the blood of giant beasts in their bodies has undergone some mutations, most of them are ferocious and violent.
This is the biggest feature that distinguishes the civilized world from the barbarian world. People in the civilized world inherit the blood of giant beasts, even if they are beasts. nor lose their minds,
But these savages are bound to lose their minds. Crazy killing, doing whatever he wants, only after a long time, will he slowly wake up.
Therefore, there are often conflicts between the civilized world and the barbarian tribes. If the city is destroyed, the entire city will definitely be reduced to ruins, and those beast-like barbarians will kill wildly.
It is precisely because of this that the civilized world has always been hostile to the barbarian tribes. It was unexpected that the members of the Black Bat Army would dare to collude with the barbarians.
"My lord, the Black Bat Army that has colluded with the barbarians is so powerful that even Marshal Kelly can't resist it. As for the current situation of the Holy Dragon Empire, I believe the lord Earl is very clear that it is already the limit to be able to send Marshal Kelly. If we want to send more troops, it will be impossible in a short period of time. Therefore, once Marshal Kelly's defense line collapses, then our Boulder City will directly face the Black Bat Army and become the front line."
This burly leader Hansen also thinks long-term.
"Hansen, what do you mean?"
Earl Steinwyn didn't seem to be nervous at all, and he looked calm, which also made Commander Hansen feel a little bit at ease.
"Master Earl, I think we should prepare to retreat first..."
In fact, Hansen's words were already very tactful. According to his thinking, he should retreat immediately. Earl Steinwen is only a lord, not a soldier of the Holy Dragon Empire. Therefore, he will not be punished for leaving the territory.
At best, if they escaped from the territory, they would lose their territory. This was a huge blow to the entire Huidriaiman family, because the foundation of the Huidriaiman family was in Boulder City.
"Evacuation...maybe, but before that, I won't make it easy for the Black Bat Army, let's make arrangements."
Earl Steinwyn has always been calm. This time, the Black Bat Army sent people to capture Leo. He was very angry, but he knew that the Black Bat Army that had colluded with the barbarian tribe was beyond the capabilities of a mere earl. To deal with it, even Marshal Kelly couldn't hold the line of defense.
Therefore, he had no choice but to leave the territory and go to Shenglong City. However, if he lost the territory, he, the earl, would only have a false title, and he would probably lose all the glory and honor of the nobility.
"Father."
Outside the hall, Merlin walked in, the cold wind outside was blowing on his body, it was very cold, entering the hall, the heat from the fireplace made Meilin couldn't help but relax.
"Leo, you're back. Your Uncle Hansen just came back today."
"Uncle Hansen!"
Merlin bowed slightly to salute Commander Hansen. He knew that Commander Hansen was Earl Steinven's right-hand man. Before that, he had been leading the cavalry of the heavy guards to watch the battle not far from the Black Bat Army. Now that he came back suddenly, it must be the front line. Some major mishaps.
"Master Laiou, last time you got engaged, I was still on the front line and didn't come back. I will definitely bring you some gifts in the future."
Hansen smiled politely, and then retreated respectfully, leaving only Merlin and Earl Steinvin in the hall.
"Father, what happened?"
Merlin had an intuition that Hansen's return would definitely not be a trivial matter. Perhaps, it was about the frontline Black Bat Army. After all, it was no secret that the Black Bat Army had confronted Marshal Kelly's army in the past few days.
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry."
Earl Steinven said calmly, looking at Merlin with kindness.
Seeing that Earl Steinwyn refused to speak, Merlin stopped asking. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't know how to ask Earl Steinwyn about the parasitism.
After a moment of silence, Merlin still decided to ask directly. The only person in this world who could make him completely at ease was Earl Steinwyn.
"Father, don't you know what's going on with parasitism?"
"Shua".
Earl Steinwyn immediately raised his head, his eyes became sharper, and there was an invisible coercion exuding from his body, as if Merlin was almost out of breath.
"Leo, how did you know about parasitism?"
Earl Steinven asked sternly with a solemn expression.
"Father, I went to the fossil collection today, and I heard the curator Eru mention that parasites can have power not inferior to the blood of giant beasts. I don't know if it's true?"
Merlin didn't deliberately hide it, and in fact he couldn't hide it either. After all, he only went to the fossil collection today, and the heavy guard knight beside Merlin would definitely report the news to Earl Steinwyn, so it would be better if Merlin asked openly.
"Hmph, old man Elu, he has been from Holy Dragon City for more than ten years, and he has always been mysterious. He has the blood of a powerful giant beast. I don't think I know? It's just that he is very peaceful all the time, so It's just that he didn't touch him, he actually encouraged Leo to parasitize you, damn it!"
Earl Steinwyn's face was ugly, and Merlin could feel that his father was indeed murderous at this moment, and he was intent on killing Eru, but it was only Elu who mentioned the parasitism to Merlin.
"Father, this matter has nothing to do with Director Eru. I don't have the blood of a giant beast, and the only way is parasitism."
Merlin said in a sincere tone, perhaps because of the firmness in his tone, which made Earl Steinwyn suddenly silent.
"Parasite... Leo, once you are parasitic, you are likely to die! I promised your mother that I will protect you and let you live a life of carefree and peaceful life. So what if you don't have the blood of a giant beast? I I will leave enough wealth for you in the future, and you can still inherit my title of Earl, so you don’t need to worry about making a living. Forget what Elu said, you must never choose to be parasitic!”
Earl Steinwyn's tone and attitude were firm and unquestionable.
