Lord Chronicle

Chapter 214
After Ruret and his party left, Kress led the defenders back to the hillside in a desperate manner.

Seeing the huge damage caused by the trap below, Jessica hummed: "Is it Mary?"

"Haha, yes, her skills are getting better and better." Saul said with a smile.

"Spent a lot of money?" Jessica's voice suddenly turned high.

"Uh..." Saul was at a loss for words, and after a while he said, "Well, it's actually okay..."

"My lord, when will you be more mature... Well, my head hurts, forget it..." Jessica was about to get angry, but then she remembered that this guy's persuasion to her was always in the left ear and out in the right ear. , then simply save effort.

Then, she turned to Kress and others.

Under the gaze of the most dignified steward in this territory, from Kress down, a group of big men are all honest and silent.

After taking two steps back and forth, Jessica slapped her palms twice: "Kress, well done, I really should praise your loyalty. For our lord, you are willing to be a robber."

"Miss Jessica, in fact..." The brave and fearless captain of the garrison even changed his tone at this time: "My lord said, anyway, we were robbers when we were in the territory of Ferris. This time it is also for the territory future, that's why..."

Snapped!Sol covered his forehead.It's over, I was sold by you again.

Sure enough, Jessica immediately turned her head and glared at him, and then said to Kress: "Kress, why don't you think about it, you did this because you were facing the enemy. Rulert and the others also Enemy?"

"Miss Jessica, I...I know I was wrong." Kress opened his mouth, and finally said discouraged.

He knew very well that when facing the furious Jessica, the best thing to do was to obediently admit his mistakes, didn't you see that even the lord didn't dare to choke?
Sure enough, before Jessica could speak, a group of defensive players rushed to admit their mistakes.

"Miss Jessica, I also know I was wrong."

"Me too…"

"It's all because of the lord..."

In an instant, Sol's "loyal" subordinates pushed out their immediate boss as a shield without hesitation.

Faced with this situation, Saul could only cry without tears.

"Okay." Jessica waved her hand to stop the guards from "reporting" the lord.

"This incident has really damaged the reputation of our Lowell garrison team. As the steward of the territory, I announce that all team members who participated in this operation will be fined for one month and their duty days will be doubled."

All the defenders turned pale.

"Kress, as the captain, will be fined for two months, and his duty days will be tripled."

Kress is even more rosy, with blue in the red.

"Lord, do you think it's appropriate?" After speaking, Jessica turned to Sol with a smile.

Facing the pleading eyes of the defenders and Kress, Saul could only bite the bullet and nodded: "It's very appropriate, it should be punished so severely, ahaha..."

"Punish, pay for two months!? Miss Jessica, what will I eat next month?" Kress asked Jessica.

Jessica shrugged indifferently: "How would I know? Maybe you let Julie take care of it."

Kress was in a hurry: "How can this work, Julie will think that I am a man who eats soft food."

"Don't you still have a secret savings for getting married?"

"Hey, I accidentally went to the tavern a few more times last month, so..." Kress scratched his head embarrassingly.

As he spoke, he lowered his voice again: "Please don't tell Julie."

"Really? Then I wish you survive in two months, man." Jessica sighed slightly, and patted him on the shoulder.

Like most bachelors, Kress is also a standard "paycheck", and his monthly salary is unknowingly dedicated to taverns, weapon shops and various foods, without any surplus.

In other words, this two-month penalty of salary basically cut off his way of life.

Begging Jessica to no avail, Kress had no choice but to turn his attention to his trusted subordinates.

However, this group of guys who usually swear that they will live and die with him all looked away unnaturally.

"Hey, lend me some money..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the defenders all shouted and dispersed.

"Ah, what a pity, I went back and went back."

"Next month will be sad."

"Let's work together to tide over the difficulties."

……

"Stingy! Didn't you say that you respect me as the captain the most?" Kress was furious.

A defensive member turned around helplessly: "Captain, it's not that we are willing to die. It's just that everyone has no money left, so how can we help you?"

"How about I partner with you?" Kress' eyes lit up.

"No! You have such a big appetite, if we partner with you, we will die together in the end." Everyone refused without thinking.

Unexpectedly, the appetite he was usually proud of would become a fatal wound at this moment. Kress was tongue-tied and immediately petrified on the spot.

"My lord, it's all because you have nothing to eat, don't you think you're indifferent?" At this moment, Jessica said casually.

The speaker had a heart, and the listener was even more hearty. Dozens of pairs of eyes immediately turned to Sol.

One of the pair of giant copper bell eyes was even more glowing with green light. It seemed that as long as Sol got one wrong answer, he would be in danger of swallowing his flesh.

So, the lord who felt the threat of death had no choice but to nod with a painful face: "In the past two months, everyone's meal money should be charged to my account."

"Oh!" Kress was the first to take the lead in cheering.

With the lord paying the bill, how can you not eat too much and eat special?Especially Kress, a monster with a big stomach, has already begun to plan to challenge the limit of his appetite within these two months.

Sol couldn't help but feel dizzy just thinking about what a terrifying number these wolves and tigers would eat for two months.

Because, that will definitely far exceed their actual total salary.

Obviously, as a steward, Jessica could not "punish" the lord.So she played a little trick, and finally led the loss to Sol, the culprit.

Seeing Jessica with a smirk beside her, Sol understood that her goal had been achieved.

Jessica, count on you!
************************************************** ************************************************** ****
While Sol was lamenting about his purse for the next two months, in a secret room in Cliff's mansion in Bahrain, thousands of miles away.

"Huh...huh..." A gasp with a breath of death echoed in the empty room.

Then, two scarlet light spots suddenly exploded in the darkness.

"Saul Lovell!"

************************************************** ************************************************** ****
half an hour later...

Two servants tremblingly entered the room, cleaned up the dirt on the ground, and lit the candles on the wall.While doing all this, they kept their heads down, not daring to glance at that corner of the room that was always shrouded in darkness.

When the room was slightly illuminated by the faint light of the candle, the servant withdrew and two others entered.

They are Cliff, the lord of Bahrain, and his staff officer, Felino.

"Is your injury better?" Walking into the room, Cliff said to the darkness in the corner.

There was silence, and there was no response from the room.Just when people wondered whether Cliff was talking to himself, after a while, a cold voice suddenly burst out from the darkness.

"Thanks to you, it's much better."

Then, a human-shaped object with a tattered red robe and an empty inside slowly appeared from the darkness.

It is the only surviving lich of the Necromancer Guild, the president Jestan!
In the last battle in the Zegel Mountains, Jestan was half destroyed by Israel, lost the blueprint of the teleportation array, and then disappeared.Who would have thought that he would escape to Bahrain and accept Cliff's asylum.

"After two months of recuperation, can you tell me what happened now? How can a mere Adventurer's Guild have the ability to destroy the entire Necromancer Guild?" Cliff asked.

Although he couldn't see his expression, when Cliff mentioned this matter, the two red lights in Jestan's eyes shrank suddenly, representing his anger.

The Lich snorted heavily: "How could those waste of adventurers defeat my undead army. The real culprit who destroyed our guild is..."

Speaking of this, Justan paused for a moment, and then said the word that made him fear and hate: "Dragon..."

"What!?" Cliff and Ferino turned pale.

Felino hurriedly said: "President Jestan, please forgive me for being rude. But did you just say dragons?"

Jestan nodded: "Yes, that's them."

"But how is it possible, the dragon clan has never participated in the disputes on the mainland." It seemed that Felino still couldn't believe it.

Jestan gave him a cold look: "You mean, I'm making up a ridiculous lie to cover up my failure?"

Cliff hurriedly said, "Forgive me, Felino never meant that. But this is unbelievable. Can you please clarify?"

Jestan gasped heavily: "There's nothing to say. When the Adventurer's Guild attacked us, six dragons attacked the returning undead army and destroyed the guild. In order to escape, I lost half of my body and was able to reach here."

Cliff was horrified and moved: "No wonder you immediately went into hibernation when you came to my place, and you just woke up now. It turns out that you escaped from the dragon clan."

Felino said: "But why did the dragons suddenly attack you?"

There was deep hatred in Jestan's tone: "Because there is one person, please move them."

"Human?" Cliff and Ferino looked at each other.

It's no wonder that the two were so surprised. The dragon clan, which is at the top of the power and has always been proud and conceited, would actually intervene in the disputes in the mainland by one person, and dispatch as many as six at a time. This is simply unbelievable.

"Who is that person?" Cliff couldn't help asking.

Jestan sneered: "It's your old friend."

"Old friend?" Cliff couldn't help being startled.

Felino has already reacted: "Could it be that you mean Sol?"

"What!?" Cliff was shocked again.

Justan nodded: "That's right, that's the man, Saul Lovell!"

Cliff couldn't believe it: "How is it possible, that despicable and shameless bastard, how could he invite the great dragon clan to serve him."

Jestan said: "No, I can see clearly, it was him. He was sitting on the back of a red dragon at the time, obviously he was the one who planned the whole operation behind the scenes."

Hearing that this opponent, whom he had always looked down upon, could even command dragons, Cliff was shocked and angry, and more of it was a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart.

When did that incompetent kid grow to this point?
At this time, he had even lost his usual confidence and calmness, and he just kept saying: "How is it possible... How is it possible..."

Jestan shook his head: "I don't know what method he used, but obviously, this man named Saul is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Now that I think about it, I should have noticed him a long time ago. A little Lovell, I sent people to attack twice in a row, but they all failed. The second time I even sent the Lich Lagos, but Even he has disappeared, is still missing, and is probably dead."

"And this time, it was Sol again, who brought the dragons and destroyed my guild. Damn it, I was just a little bit close, and I could..."

At the end, remembering the hatred of the destruction of the entire guild, the soul fire in Jestan's eyes jumped wildly.

Cliff still didn't want to admit it: "That's just his luck. That kid has always been lucky, and that's his only advantage."

"Master Cliff, I don't think so." Suddenly, Felino said: "I once thought that I had paid enough attention to him, but now it seems that we still underestimated that guy."

"Filino, are you also taken by that kid's bluff?" Cliff snapped.

Felino shook his head: "Please calm down, Lord Cliff, I'm just telling the truth."

As he spoke, he counted them one by one with his fingers: "It is now basically confirmed that the businessman Brom who came to the territory to take away Bravella's treasure last time is Saul and his subordinates."

"It was precisely because the treasure was taken away that we couldn't make another teleportation formation, which resulted in insufficient soldiers to surprise Dinar. Although the Sidvila military fortress was successfully captured, it also gave the Dinar royal family the opportunity to counterattack Time. It can be said that his influence on this war began at that time."

With that said, Felino tapped his head again: "No, maybe earlier. It was because of him that our attempt to capture Lovell was repeatedly frustrated, and finally we had to launch a rebellion early, making the people who went straight from Lovell to Dusk The failure of the plan brought the war to a stalemate."

Cliff still insisted: "Hmph, that's just a coincidence."

Felino immediately said: "Then he led the army into the Ferris Territory, harassed our supply line, and captured Diviji Castle, so that the Lulin army's plan to attack the north has been delayed again and again?"

Without waiting for Cliff to answer, he continued: "Because of him, our plan to attack Dinar from behind through the Magic Kingdom went bankrupt; also because of him, our plan to use the orc empire to threaten the border of Dinar also went bankrupt; now It was still because of him that the Necromancer Guild was destroyed, and our army in Ruhr was exposed to the threat of the Pintat army, so the main force on the Dusk front had to return to help..."

"There is Thor's shadow behind all of this. It can be said that although he was not directly involved, every major change in this war was driven by him. This little lord who everyone ignores, It is pushing our Lulin step by step to the brink of failure."

Finally, he looked straight into Cliff's eyes: "Master Cliff, are you still going to say that Saul is just an insignificant and incompetent villain?"

Cliff was rendered speechless by Felino's series of questions, his expression changed several times, but he couldn't say a word.

Jestan also said: "I agree with what Ferino said. Ignoring this guy named Saul at the beginning was the biggest mistake we made."

After all, he was a hero of the generation. When Cliff calmed down, he gradually recovered his composure.

He exhaled slowly, as if he wanted to dispel all the depression just now: "Thank you, Felino, I was really confused just now. I have been subconsciously ignoring his existence all this time, because my self-esteem I am not allowed to admit that a poor lord in a remote and small place has the qualifications to keep pace with me."

"But now, I'm sober. From now on, I will seriously regard him as my biggest opponent." Finally, he said.

Felino smiled slightly: "It's best for Mr. Cliff to think so. As long as you are serious, I believe he will be happy for a few days."

"So, are you going to do it?" Jestan asked.

Cliff nodded with a sullen face: "I won't hesitate anymore, I will use the greatest strength in my hand to completely destroy him and his territory."

"Very good, don't forget to count me in. When he falls into my hands, I will let him taste the feeling of not being able to live and not being able to die." The fire of Jestan's soul flickered with hatred.

Cliff waved his hand: "No, you are seriously injured, and it is not appropriate to take another shot in the short term, just leave it to me."

Jestan asked: "Are you sure? It turns out that it is not an easy task to kill that kid."

Cliff smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure."

As he said that, he turned his head and said lightly to Felino, "Tell Gru to go to Lovell once."

"What, are you going to dispatch him?" Felino was startled, and then he said in relief: "No, he is totally worth it. It seems that we can say goodbye to Lovell completely."

"Then I'll do it now. Although it's a bit late, it's not too late to kill him now." Nodding to Cliff, Felino turned and left.

After Felino left, Cliff turned to Jestan again: "As for you, President, please rest here in peace. I will do everything in my power to help you rebuild the Necromancer Guild."

"Hmph, rebuild? I don't even know how many people escaped." Jestan said with self-deprecation.

Cliff was now fully restored to his aristocratic manners: "Please don't be too depressed, don't forget that there is a huge war going on right now, big enough to provide everything you need."

His words made Jestan slightly relieved: "You are right, I still have a chance to make a comeback and avenge those hateful people."

"Yes, you can."

As Cliff said so, an intriguing look flashed in his eyes.
