Chapter 401 Combination of Interests
It didn't take much effort at all. Han Shuo used the mysterious magic to spy on the whole story. The attack on Trunks and the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Group was led by Florida of the Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Group. Not only the Monroe Family was involved , and Lauretta of the Gallo Mercenaries.
There are no permanent friends in the world, only permanent interests. This sentence clearly explains the essence!
When Lauretta and Florida were fighting each other, Han Shuo and Trunks once stood with Lauretta. On the night that Lauretta was besieged by the four forces in the small valley, it was Han Shuo who helped Lauretta stay alive. walked out.
From that time on, the Galo Mercenary Group and the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group have a close relationship. Lauretta and Trunks have cooperated many times. In the eyes of outsiders, the Galo Mercenary Group and the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group seem to have formed an alliance. .
However, with the rapid development of the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group, coupled with Han Shuo's popularity in the Lancelot Empire, the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group has become the fifth largest force in Sunshine Valley. In recent days, as Trunks killed the butcher Gustav, people in Sunshine Valley panicked for a while. Lauretta and Florida, who had the most hope of taking power in Sunshine Valley, finally realized that something was wrong.
When one's own interests are threatened, friendship and covenant are as fragile as a politician's oath, and can be torn easily. Florida and Lauretta hit it off right away. Since Han Shuo seriously injured Adam Monroe last time, he was also very willing to join this long-planned vicious incident.
As a result, Trunks returned from Janet, was ambushed by Lauretta and others on the way, some mercenaries around Trunks were wiped out, and Trunks himself was captured alive and imprisoned in the secret building. In the belly of the cave, several major forces jointly dispatched experts to guard it.
The reason why Trunks was not killed immediately. On the one hand, it was because Lauretta and the others coveted the wealth of the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group, and on the other hand, they were not too clear about the detailed layout of the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group's lair. Can reduce your own damage.
However, Trunks' tenacity was somewhat unexpected. Under torture, Trunks did not reveal the truth as they wished, and was tortured to the point of death.
now. In a mansion guarded by the Galo mercenary group in the Sunshine Valley, the three forces are discussing when to attack the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group. The Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group has existed in the Sunshine Valley for such a long time. Not to mention Lauretta and others already knew it.
If they hadn't fully understood that the terrain in that place was indeed too dangerous, they would have worked together to wipe out the Soul Extinguisher Mercenary Group long ago, and they would never have waited until now to do so. In the past few days, the three parties have sent people to haunt that area, and they have roughly seen the defense force on the bright side, so they are going to take action in the next few days.
The major forces in Sunshine Valley have gone through repeated battles. The strength of all parties has been greatly damaged.
Ever since Ferguson, the magister of the light system, was killed by Han Shuo, the relationship between Florida and the Church of Light has been somewhat weak. However, due to the existence of a mithril mine here, the relationship between Florida and the Church of Light has become stable.
Due to the existence of Han Shuo, Edwin, the dark magister of the Scourge Church, will naturally not oppose the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Group. Edwin, who originally cooperated with Lauretta, gradually alienated from Lauretta. distance. It's just that Edwin approached Trunks several times, but Trunks rejected his offer of help.
This time after Trunks disappeared. Edwin of the Scourge Church here has indeed worked hard and has found out the general truth of the matter. However, the three forces in Sunshine Valley joined forces here, the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group and the Church of Light helped, even though Edwin understood the ins and outs, he did not dare to act rashly.
The twelve mysterious demons dispersed, and a pair of pictures were reflected in Han Shuo's mind through the vision of the mysterious demons. Han Shuo, whose brain domain had been magically expanded by magic skills, methodically took each picture into his heart. Analyze the content and actions of their speech. Slowly spy out the truth.
In addition, he also found out the real location where Trunks was imprisoned!
The black dragon Gilbert stagnated at the height of the Sunshine Valley. Blossoming white clouds floated around the black dragon Gilbert, and the brilliant sunlight above his head fell into the Valley of Sunshine, and the black dragon Gilbert's body was also illuminated in a pitch-black and shiny manner.
Sitting cross-legged on Gilbert's back, which was much wider than the carriage, Han Shuo, who had been closing his eyes to obtain information, suddenly slowly opened his bright eyes, and glanced at the luxuriant Sunshine Valley at his feet. Han Shuo's eyes Eyes are getting brighter.
"I need to settle the matter of the Sunshine Valley as soon as possible. I can't just stay in the Sunshine Valley!" Han Shuo murmured.
The events of Brettle City, the events of the Seven Principalities, the struggle for power within the empire, the constant annoyance of the Church of Illuminati, the secret of the skeleton staff in the death cemetery, the magical exploration of the undead, and the jealousy among several women, this series of events... There are too many things waiting for Han Shuo to deal with, and Han Shuo feels like he has nothing to do with himself.
Han Shuo's vision is getting higher and higher, and his ambition is directly proportional to the growth of his strength. Looking at the various turmoil in the Sunshine Valley now, Han Shuo already feels that it will not be difficult to deal with the disturbances in the Sunshine Valley. This time, from Trank Since Si was captured, Han Shuo had the idea of solving the matter of the Sunshine Valley once and for all.
"Let's go, fall down!" Han Shuo ordered the black dragon Gilbert, pointing out the correct location for Gilbert.
"Master, have you found Trunks?" Gilbert saw that Han Shuo had closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time at high altitude, and suddenly pointed out a location for him. He couldn't help being a little puzzled.
"Of course, the place we are going now is the direction where Trunks was captured." Han Shuo replied, and then urged: "Okay, hurry up!"
In the dark depths of the cave, Asa, the thunder mage, still tortured Trunks tirelessly. Trunks, who was roaring wildly, was passed through his body by a strong electric current. In addition, Asa also used some The red-hot iron was scalding, and the body and soul could no longer bear it, and passed out in a coma.
However, Asa obviously did not intend to let Trunks go. Whenever Trunks passed out, Asa would cruelly wake Trunks up again. After several times. Trunks was on the verge of death and no longer had the strength to roar, but a pair of godless eyes looked at Asa calmly with deep hatred, and there was a kind of light in them that made Asa tremble with fear.
Asa, who had a guilty conscience, was a little afraid of the deep-seated hatred in Trunks' eyes, but this guilty conscience soon turned into even crazier torture. When a red-hot iron fell on Trunks' chest again, Tranks Si just opened his mouth in pain, and couldn't even groan, but there was a terrifying ferocity in his face. Like a fierce demon coming out of the depths of hell.
"Your Majesty Asa, you can stop, otherwise - he will die immediately!" A swordsman named Qi Lula walked over with a frown, and stretched out his hand to forcibly snatch the iron that Asa was holding tightly to.
Asa glared at Qi Lula with a gloomy face, and said displeasedly: "Qi Lula, it's not up to your Monroe family to control your affairs!"
"I'm not interested in controlling you, but Trunks' life must be kept. This is a decision agreed by the leaders of the three parties. No matter how you torture Trunks, as long as he doesn't die, I have no problem, but if you kill If you let him go, we will bear the crime of dereliction of duty, don't make trouble for us!" Qi Lula was not afraid of Asa, and put the soldering iron in place, and said coldly.
Some of the scars on Trunks' body in front of him had already rotted, and pus still flowed out from his chest and neck. Qi Lula could smell a disgusting smell when he stood so close. I couldn't help covering my lips, and waved my hands in disgust: "Damn it. You really got it! Let's forget about today, and play again when he is in better health. Otherwise, everyone will have opinions!"
When Qi Lula spoke like this, he had already walked away impatiently. Several members of the Galo Mercenary Group looked at Asa with displeasure at this time, and one of them replied: "Asa, your Florida We all agree, you'd better settle down and don't break the rules."
Everyone else in the cave showed displeasure. Even the members of the rainbow sickle mercenary group who guarded this place with Asa. They also tried to persuade Asa not to look for trouble, and thought about it for a while. Asa glanced back at Trunks who was dying and passed out again, feeling a little relieved.
So many people dissuaded him, and Asa didn't dare to act rashly, lest it arouse public anger, so he gave up angrily. He also understood a little bit in his heart, because of the death of his father Gustave, his position in the Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Corps was no longer so stable. Split, don't sell his account at all, otherwise he wouldn't have to stay in the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group to be angry.
Just when Asa was thinking wildly, a heavy voice came from outside the cave. The footsteps were very light at first, and gradually became clearer and clearer.
"Who is it!" Asa was upset in his heart, and cursed loudly, "Didn't you tell me your name when you came here?"
The footsteps were still slowly approaching, but the person who came came did not answer, and Asa couldn't help cursing again: "You fucking, are you dumb! You don't know how to speak!"
"Something's not right!" Qi Lula of the Monroe family frowned, and the long sword in his hand suddenly reached his palm, and said to the people of the Monroe family beside him.
"We're the only ones who know about this place. What's wrong? Suspicious, don't they all deliver food now? They must be here!" Asa took the opportunity to say a few words to Qi Lula.
The sound of footsteps is still approaching, and every step implies a strange rhythm, which actually brings people a feeling of trembling, as if a demon is slowly drifting in, ready to smash the huge mouth in the dark at any time. cut into your neck.
Qi Lula gave Asa a disdainful look, and thought that this robber's son was not a regular mercenary. Whether it was the Galo Mercenary Group, the Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Group, or the Monroe Family, they were all strictly disciplined groups. There will be no such behavior of coming over without signaling.
"Brothers, be careful, the situation is a bit weird!" Qi Lula tightly held the long sword in his hand, and ordered to the people on his side.
Some experienced mercenaries from the Jialuo mercenary group over there had already gathered together cautiously without Qilula's orders. Even the members of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary group on Asa's side were clearly separated from the other two forces. Separated a bit.
At such a critical time, the three parties that are united because of their interests will still only trust the people around them, not such false allies who reluctantly cooperate because of their interests. Sunshine Valley is such a place, and they have been and will always be enemies. But now they stand together safe and sound, planning to face the common enemy.
"Step...step..." The footsteps are getting closer and clearer!
Qi Lula glanced at the senior fire magician beside him, and said, "Put a flame in!"
The high-level magician of the fire department listened to Qi Lula's order, and a fiery snake snake meandered into the passage, and the gray-brown stone wall was clearly visible when the fiery snake swam by.
At this time, even Asa knew that something was wrong, and he and Qi Lula carefully looked at the only hole coming over. The people from the Galo mercenary group formed a phalanx tacitly, ready to deal with incoming attacks at any time.
Just when everyone's eyes and attention were on the only hole that came over, a series of crisp voices suddenly came from the position of Trunks behind them. Everyone who had been staring at the hole, in the silence Hearing such a loud noise, they all turned around and looked back in unison.
Right next to Trunks, Han Shuo, who was holding the Demon Slayer in his hand, was cutting off the iron chains on Trunks one by one with a gloomy expression. chains. It broke apart with a crisp sound, and he carefully took out the slender iron chain that Trunks' lute was deep into.
No one knew how Han Shuo came in for Qi Lula's group who suddenly turned around. There is only one passageway with the sound of "stomping" in the mountainside, and all their attention was focused on that area just now, but they really I didn't see anyone coming out of it!
However, Han Shuo suddenly appeared out of nowhere, as if he was standing there originally. What came was so abrupt and so weird, giving people an extremely awkward feeling.
See Han Shuo with a gloomy face appearing. In an instant, the hearts of all the people guarding Trunks in the cave trembled. Seeing that Han Shuo didn't look them in the eye, but focused on helping Trunks release the restraint with a gloomy face, for some reason, a feeling called fear gradually grew in his heart.
Han Shuo is not in the Sunshine Valley, but the legend about him has been circulating in the Sunshine Valley. The group of people in this mountainside, including Asaqilula, are all masters of the three forces. Not only did they all know Han Shuo. Several of them have seen Han Shuo's methods with their own eyes.
Now, right in the middle of this narrow mountainside. Han Shuo appeared silently like a ghost, and he just helped Trunks release the restraint with a sullen face without saying a word. The silent oppression in the dark was as thick as a mountain, giving them a feeling of panic and heart palpitations. .
Asa's lips were a little dry. He had one hand cut off by Han Shuo, and he had personally witnessed every heavy blow Han Shuo used to kill Ferguson in the valley last time. After Han Shuo left, his legend did not disappear. It was spread in the Sunshine Valley through the mercenaries who traveled all over the country. In particular, the story of Han Shuo beheading the dragon knight Celt was greatly exaggerated.
Asa knew the relationship between Han Shuo and Trunks in his heart. Seeing Han Shuo's sullen face touching the bondage for dying, the coldness suddenly spread to Asa's whole body. Asa, whose mind was spinning rapidly, just looked at Han Shuo. Within ten seconds, he suddenly made an extremely wise decision.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, Asa was the first to go to the passage out of the cave, and even made the move to flee without fighting!
"Damn it!" Qi Lula glanced back, cursed Asa's shamelessness and cowardice, and then became a little timid, tightened the long sword in his hand, looked at the indifferent Han Shuo, and pretended to be strong: "Bu Earl Ryan, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you have no control over the affairs of our Sunshine Valley, we will not stop you if you leave now, otherwise..."
"Ah, Asa, you, why are you back?" Before Qi Lula finished speaking, the fire magician beside him suddenly cried out in surprise.
Qi Lula was stunned, and didn't blame this subordinate for interrupting the threat he had finally summoned up courage. He took advantage of the situation and looked back, only to see Asa with a bitter face, and indeed he retreated step by step. "Tata..." The sound of footsteps in the passage was still there, but it was getting heavier in the hearts of several people!
