Crown of Chaos

In the early morning in the apple orchard, the thick fog dispersed, the sun shone brightly, and the temperature began to rise rapidly.

The soldiers from Wanxing Town began to clean the battlefield. Everyone had a look of shock on their faces. Many veterans who had served for more than ten years could not contain their surprise.

More than 400 corpses! Two campsites! Kobold Dragon Vein Warlock! Hobgoblin Warlord!

3 people?

Oh my god, my lord, are you serious?

There were more than 300 professional soldiers and 300 to 400 semi-professional soldiers who came to the apple orchard.

Hey, Old Mark, have you seen this scene? A young soldier looked at the large pits on the ground one after another, the charred goblin corpses, and the chopped up kobold remains, which were placed in the center of the manor. Two heads, as well as the purple dragon knight, Suellen priest and female barbarian who were sitting tiredly with their backs against the wall.

I've never seen it before! Another veteran shook his head, still frightened. He pointed to a big black hole on the ground: But I've seen this before. Do you know what it is?

This is the pit exploded by the fireball technique. One fireball technique is enough to kill more than a dozen fully armed soldiers, young man. The veteran showed off his experience, but could not hide his shock: They, How did 3 people do it?”

Forget it, this is not the time to talk about this, move faster! The veteran didn't have time to lament the brutality of this battle, so he took the time to clean the battlefield.

He is 35 years old this year, which is considered an advanced age among soldiers. If a professional warrior does not reach the master level, his physical strength will begin to decline after the age of 30. After the age of 40, the body's physical functions will decline rapidly, so professional soldiers often They are forced to retire around the age of 37-38 and become semi-professional reserve forces such as guards or patrols. If they can be promoted to the master level, they can maintain their physical strength until they are about 50 years old.

Legendary warriors and legendary barbarians can further maintain their physical fitness until the age of 60-70, but compared with druids, mages, warlocks, and priests who often live for hundreds of years, the lifespan of warriors is really short.

He must seize the time. Although the loot must be handed over in this kind of task of cleaning the battlefield, everyone can secretly hide some valuable things. As long as it is not too excessive, the lords and nobles will not care.

There were exclamations everywhere on the battlefield.

Quick, cut off all the heads! Brandon Doherty, the lord of Evening Star Town, is a soldier in his forties. He has sharp eyes, deep-set eye sockets and mustache carefully cultivated, and a straight and masculine figure. Charming, it’s no wonder the former Baroness chose to marry him.

The Lord Baron was very excited. He kept patting his waist and loudly ordered his soldiers to cut off all the heads.

The head is worthless because it has no value in itself.

Heads are worth tens of thousands of gold because they represent power and glory!

The heads of these kobolds and goblins will be sent back to the city. The people in the town will immediately use special methods to preserve and pickle them, and then hang these heads around the city. In the country, this is the easiest way to show their power. The way.

If someone wants to challenge human sovereignty on this land in the future, then they must consider whether they can compare with a kobold tribe and an entire goblin camp, and whether they can compare with a kobold dragon warlock and a hobgoblin. warlord!

Such is the consequence of daring to violate the sacred territory of Cormyr!

The Lord Baron believes that Arabelle, who is dozens of kilometers away, will soon receive the news. The orc Great Khan Turgeon will definitely learn that Cormyr killed 400 people with only 3 people. If he wants to invade, You must consider how many orcs, goblins, and vassals under your command can be sacrificed.

My territory is safe!

Thinking of this, the Lord Baron felt even happier and reached out his hand: Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency Salian.

We are all glorious people of Cormyr, and it is our duty to protect the glory of Cormyr! Aaron forced a smile. He looked really tired, and patted his leg to indicate that he could not stand up.

The lord of Evening Star Town immediately held his shoulders to signal him not to get up: Manuel has a good son! I believe, Sir Aaron, Salian's name will one day shine again because of you.

Without further words, Brandon Doherty immediately cashed in the bounty for Aaron.

The bounty for wiping out the kobold camp is 1,500 gold lion coins, and the bounty for wiping out the goblin camp is 2,000 gold lion coins.

These are all the trio deserve. To a certain extent, the money given to annihilate the goblin camp is still too little. The hobgoblin warlord who launched Divine Grace twice in a row should be worth more than this, but Aaron didn't either. Bargain again.

Feeling that the reward was insufficient, they deliberately allowed the hobgoblins to plunder and kill again, forcing the local lords to offer a higher price before taking action. This is the most typical lawful evil behavior. The bounty is much earned, but they don't know that they will have to pay more. How many lives were sacrificed.

3,500 gold lion coins is also a huge burden for a lord baron, but Brandon Doherty does not have to pay much money personally. The recent chaotic situation, blocked trade routes and casualties in nearby villages have made the baron It is easy to collect large amounts of donations from merchants, commoners, guilds, and nobles, and it is even normal for the lord to withhold some of it privately.

Aaron doesn't care so much, just get 3500 gold lion coins.

It’s better to take risks and make money!

After receiving the bounty, a soldier came over and whispered a few words to the lord baron. The lord baron then told Aaron that he had found many trophies in the goblin camp.

According to unwritten rules, a small part of the loot can belong to Aaron and the other three.

Asha, Eleanor, can you still get up? Aaron smiled at his two adventure partners.

Of course! The female barbarian held her halberd in both hands and shouted, I can do it!

Asha was seriously injured. She was disemboweled by Adan's heavy hammer, and almost even her heart was exposed to the air. A normal person would have died long ago.

But barbarians are so powerful. Barbarians in a violent state have a similar self-protection mechanism. After receiving fatal injuries, barbarians can resist the coming of death by terminating the rage.

After receiving magical treatment from the priest, Asha's injuries have stabilized.

Eleanor? Aaron pretended to approach casually, holding the pastor's little hand with his big hand, and ran his fingers across the pastor's delicate palm from top to bottom.

Eleanor's body trembled slightly because of Aaron's behavior. She glanced sideways at Aaron with her sea-blue eyes, but did not shake off his big hand or agree immediately.

In fact, this was considered consent. Not giving in to Aaron in front of others was Eleanor's last stubbornness.

Miss Pastor was seriously injured. Her right arm was fractured and dislocated, her tendons were injured, her left thigh muscle was strained, and there were several bruises on her body. It was difficult to get up.

Of course she wanted to go see the trophies with Aaron, but she wanted him to help her, and Eleanor couldn't say it!

Fortunately, Aaron is always so considerate. The Viscount took the initiative to help the pastor lady, but he himself was grinning in pain.

You need treatment, Aaron! Eleanor leaned tiredly on Aaron's shoulder.

Treatment? But isn't the priest right by my side? Aaron blinked: I am absorbing Eleanor's energy! With you by my side, I no longer feel pain!

This man!

Upon hearing this, the pastor lady couldn't help but give Aaron a charming eye roll, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, as if the injury on her body didn't hurt so much anymore.

In a corner of Apple Manor, there are piles of the goblins' plundering harvest during this period, including currency, commodities, minerals, and many weapons and equipment made by the hobgoblins themselves.

The soldiers nearby were lighting a fire and burning all the preserved human flesh made by the goblins.

No one will eat these meats, and cannibals will be cursed. Even the most unscrupulous chaotic evil gods cannot tolerate this. As long as any human eats these meats, the god's kingdom will refuse their entry. , even if these souls enter hell and successfully win the lawsuit against the devil in the court of hell, they still cannot escape the end of being transformed into devils.

This is part of the original contract.

The meat cannot be discarded or buried at will. Although the mortals in the kingdom also care about burial, there are too many scavengers in the wild, so many that they can chew up all the bones.

Looking at the fires burning around him, Aaron couldn't help but think of another sentence.

One general's success and ten thousand bones withered!

Perhaps, the ending of most adventurers is like this, buried in the wilderness, melted in flames, with only a small amount of ashes buried in the soil.

Risk takers are always well rewarded because danger always comes with reward!

Now, Aaron is about to receive his second payday.

The spoils of goblin plunder!

Before Aaron could start picking, he heard a whistle from behind.

咻咻~

Junior, you can't take these away! A familiar voice came later, and Aaron looked behind him in surprise.

A paladin with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a majestic weapon, a smile on his lips, and eyes full of affirmation.

A rebellious ranger with arms folded across his chest, wearing leather armor with a sword hanging on his waist, and holding a foxtail in his mouth.

Senior? Why are you here! Aaron said happily.

Why are we here? Haha, we followed you all the way! Sir Leonard strode to Aaron's side. The paladin used holy healing to provide treatment to the three of Aaron and help them recover from their injuries. Laughing and patting Aaron on the shoulder: Well done! Aaron, I couldn't help but take action a few times, but I didn't expect you to actually solve the problem yourself! Well done, junior, just Even your Disma senior is proud of you!”

...It's not bad. Disma always crossed his arms and looked away, unwilling to look at Aaron.

You followed me all the way? Then why didn't you help? Aaron couldn't help complaining: We were almost finished! If I had known you were following us, I wouldn't have used such a risky plan.

If you know, then is there any point for us to follow? Leonard knocked Aaron on the chest with his fist, then smiled softly and nodded at Eleanor: Thank you for your hard work, Silver Virgin Mary Madam Pastor.”

It's okay. Eleanor shook her head gently. Miss Priest's injuries had stabilized a lot under the treatment of holy healing. She no longer needed Aaron's support, so naturally it was not easy for her to continue leaning on Aaron.

A feeling of loss lingered in Eleanor's heart. Miss Pastor suddenly felt that Aaron, the two seniors, were not so lovable!

After a few words of greeting, Leonard brought up old matters again. He looked at the trophies piled up by the soldiers and asked very simply: Aaron, you have already taken the bounty. I ask you on behalf of Teacher Lucian, what do you think of these goblins? Are you going to ask for the money or the name of the loot we plundered?

Aaron was silent. He stared at the trophies piled up like a hill. He knew in his heart that most of these things were looted by the goblins. They were the property of the villagers near Evening Star Town and the adventurers who died in the battle. property.

He thought of the souls thirsting for revenge last night, the adventurers who were injured and died when they first entered Evening Star Town, and the orphans and widows left behind by Walker.

I want a name, Aaron said softly.

Nobles care about fame, priests praise piety, and everyone loves gold.

—Aaron’s favorite quote

What about you? Leonard also asked Eleanor and Asha.

I want a name! Eleanor said without any hesitation. Miss Pastor shook hands with Aaron a little harder and looked at him. Her bright sea-blue eyes were full of certainty and determination.

I support your decision!

I...hey, I really lost to you! Okay, okay, I really made too much money this time. I also want a name, a reputation, okay? The female barbarian saw Aaron and Ai Lenore wanted to be named, so she struggled with it for a while and then she was relieved.

This trip has really made too much, so much that Asha still feels like she is living in a dream.

Since you have earned so much, is it acceptable to give up a little bit?

It’s better to follow Aaron’s footsteps, what if there is such a good thing next time?

Very good! Leonard clapped his hands, and Aaron's senior smiled even more: You know, Aaron, there are many people who need this money more than you, very much.

I will take these, but I will not take a penny from you. I will give the money to those in need.

But before that, you can each pick one you like among the trophies.

Leonard pointed to the pile of loot.

Aaron browsed for a while and immediately fell in love with a piece of equipment.

Extraordinary equipment, rare grade, frost giant belt!

This belt contains the power of a giant, which can increase the wearer's physical attributes by two levels. It also comes with a frost shield, providing powerful resistance to fire magic!

It is with this belt that Adan Hammer dares to withstand the scorching rays of the Kobold Dragon Vein Warlock.

Aaron's physique is already low, he needs this very much, living is the key to becoming a god!

That's it. Aaron picked up the belt.

Eleanor was very simple. The pastor didn't have any choice at all. She relied on her induction to directly pull out a silver statue of Our Lady of Suellen carved from jade from a pile of souvenirs.

This is my Lord's sacred object. Eleanor held the holy elephant in her arms.

Asha chose a ring, which was also an extraordinary object.

Extraordinary equipment, extraordinary level, emerald ring.

This ring contains a guiding aura, which can enhance the barbarian's hit rate with giant weapons and make it difficult for enemies to dodge. It is the equipment Asha needs most.

All three were very satisfied with the result, and the remaining loot was handed over to Leonard. He and Disma left the manor early and returned to Evening Star Town for operations.

It took a long time to clean the battlefield, and it was already afternoon when the army began to return.

But, people are coming!

The residents of Evening Star Town, villagers from nearby villages, and businessmen all crowded at the city gate. They lined up and expressed the highest degree of respect for Aaron, Eleanor, and Asha who were riding in the front. welcome!

Aaron! Aaron! Aaron! Our Purple Dragon Knight! Our hero!

Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!

People cheered! Giving flowers and applause to Aaron Salian, they shouted Aaron's name, and the civilians waved their handkerchiefs excitedly, trying to attract Aaron's attention. As long as the Viscount's sight swept over this place, people would Will make an uncontrollable scream.

Women and children gathered on the side of the road to watch, pointing at the heads of kobolds and goblins and couldn't help but marvel. Many city residents have never left the city walls in their lives and can only see these creatures occasionally. A cart full of heads He really appeared in front of him, and there were endless praises, and everyone was vying to witness the hero's grace.

Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!

Well done, hero of Evening Star Town!

You will always be our most distinguished guest in Wanxing Town.

Glorious Purple Dragon Knight, please accept our respect!

People crowded together, shouting Aaron's name, fascinated.

A group of 3 people destroyed two camps and killed all the kobolds and goblins in one night!

Bards have already begun to write their stories, and their names will become the protagonists in the poems and will be sung nearby until a new epic is born.

Aaron was wearing a tattered burqa, and his cloak was in strips like rags. His hair was not straightened but spread loosely. His gloves and breastplate were full of cracks, and his sword was broken into half. It was obvious that he had experienced What a fierce battle it was.

Coupled with his superb looks and amazing presence, anyone who sees Aaron can't help but nod in his heart.

This is the Purple Dragon Knight in our imagination! The Purple Dragon Knight who protects the border, the pride of our Cormyr!

The cheers of the crowd grew louder and louder, and Aaron suddenly felt his body tremble, and the power of Slaanesh exploded!

His warlock career level has improved!

Feeling the power filling his body again, feeling the magic power surging in his veins, a smile appeared on Aaron's face.

Is this what you want? Slaanesh?
