Ember Skywalker

Chapter 103 Why don’t you be the lord?

"What's the matter again?" Raven asked unhappily.

Hans pointed at Joan and said loudly:
"This person's background is unknown. How come he survived yesterday when everyone else died?
What if he leads us into an ambush? Wouldn't we be in danger?"

"You're talking nonsense. How could I possibly harm the Lord?" Joan retorted loudly.

"Who knows? Don't you think you're suspicious?"

"It's okay, keep going." Raven seemed not to hear.

"I object!"

Hans saluted.

"My Lord, I cannot put my subordinates in danger, and I cannot put you in danger!
So, please forgive me for not being able to carry out your order."

"Hey, your subordinates?"

Raven said playfully, glancing at the other guards.

"Whose subordinates are you?"

After saying this, a ball of starlight burst out from Raven's hand, making his face look particularly majestic.

"The Burner!"

Hans was shocked, and then he remembered that Raven was not an ordinary lord.

He comes from the White Tower and is a genuine Spellburner.

The other guards also became frightened. In their eyes, the Burning Man was invincible.

Angel also sneered, and her two fists kept hitting each other, each collision would ignite the silver moon flame.

"Great warrior!"

Hans was surprised again, and his strength was released, which showed that Angel had become a great warrior.

This little girl rarely shows up, so I almost ignored her. I didn't expect that she is actually a great warrior.

You know, he himself is a great warrior!
Crunchy!

A harsh friction sound was heard, and the big sword in Lanster's hand kept scraping the ground, sparking.

Hans swallowed. How much strength would it take to do this?

And that sword seems familiar?
Isn't this the weapon of the previous lord!
Even though that guy was stupid, he was a Honor-class warrior known for his strength, so his sword was extremely heavy.

But why is it so light in this guy's hand?

He had some impression of Lanster.

He was seriously injured when he came here. He felt like he would die if he was hurt by that kind of injury. But he recovered so quickly?
Hans had a bad feeling about what kind of people these were.

At this moment, a guard shouted:

"Of course we are the Lord's soldiers, alive or dead, and we are willing to serve you like slaves!"

Hey, Raven looked at the guard, it was a young man.

Sure, clever!

Raven was very pleased with him.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Hughie, sir."

Raven waved his hand and said, "Very good, from now on you will be the leader of my guards."

"Yes!"

Huey was delighted.

He had witnessed everything Raven had done since he had taken office and he approved of him.

In addition, he had long been dissatisfied with Hans' selfishness, so he simply rebelled against him, but he did not expect it to be a blessing in disguise.

"Sir, what do you mean?" Hans was angry.

Raven ignored him and looked at the other guards, saying coldly, "What about you?"

"We are also willing to be loyal to you, sir." Several people bowed their heads.

"Very good," Raven nodded, finally looking at Hans, "What about you?"

Hans's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He didn't expect the situation to turn around so quickly.

But due to the circumstances, he had to bow his head.

"Of course I also... pledge my loyalty to you, my Lord."

Raven looked at him with a wry smile and asked, "Which way?"

"Your."

Everyone continued on their journey, but the atmosphere was completely different from before.

Led by Joan, the group found the place where he was attacked.

But apart from some bloodstains, there was no corpse here.

"Joan, where is the body? Are you lying to us?" Hans asked loudly. "I... I don't have it. It's clearly here."

"It looks like someone has moved the body away," Raven said, "These people should be organized. Let's continue investigating."

Seeing Raven like this, Hans' eyes flashed with anxiety.

The group walked for a while when suddenly a dozen big men rushed out from both sides of the road, holding swords and blocking the middle of the road.

Seeing that Raven had a large number of people, they did not take action immediately, but drove them away.

Raven was looking for them and immediately ordered his men to attack.

Needless to say, these people were quickly defeated. In addition to the dead and those who escaped, Raven also captured a few alive.

After a severe interrogation, he learned a shocking piece of news:

Someone is mining illegally here in Beishan!
Raven was furious, this was his territory!

According to Dante's law, privately mining other people's minerals without the lord's consent is considered a declaration of war. Who did this?
He hurriedly ordered the prisoners to lead the way to the mine.

After turning a ridge, he saw a shocking scene.

This is a huge smelting site with a huge furnace in the center and hundreds of people busy around the furnace.

They threw pieces of unknown ore into the furnace, and silver-blue liquid flowed out from the other end of the furnace.

There is a huge cave at the end of the smelting site.

The miners drove the horses and pulled the pulley gallows in front of the cave, continuously pulling the iron nets loaded with ore out of the cave.

Just then, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and someone discovered Raven and his group.

Suddenly dozens of guards surrounded Riven from all directions.

"Hans, what did you bring these people here for?"

A man who looked like the leader of the guards shouted at Hans.

Damn, it’s a fucking traitor. The guy I’m talking about always opposes me.

Raven understood in his heart, but he said, "Hans, do you know each other?"

"I can't say I know him. I've only met him twice and we don't have much of a relationship." The latter pretended to be calm.

"Hans, are you mute?" the guard leader asked loudly.

"Do you think I know you well? Stop trying to get close to me!" Hans said angrily.

The leader was stunned, and suddenly understood something. He pointed at Ruiwen and others:
"Catch them!"

"These people deserve to die. Kill them without mercy!" Raven said coldly.

After saying this, he activated the Flame Flails and Pulse Meditation at the same time. A flaming halberd took shape in his hand and shot towards the leader.

"The Burner!"

The leader was startled and raised his sword to block.

He has the strength of a peak great warrior and believes that it will not be difficult for him to deal with a Burning Mage of the same level.

However, the moment the sword and fire intersected, he realized that he was extremely wrong.

The flaming halberd had a powerful explosive property, which melted his sword with one strike and then burned him into a torch.

Seeing their leader being killed, the other guards were terrified and didn't know whether to fight or flee.

Raven rushed forward with Angel, Lanster and several guards, like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

The battle was over quickly, half of the guards were killed on the spot, and the others were either injured or fled, all of them were terrified.

Half an hour later, the smelting plant was taken over by Riven.

Through the words of prisoners and miners, Raven learned that this was the Starlight Iron Mine.

The smelting plant is used to refine the ore, and all the refined starlight iron will be sent to Hex City.

That is the territory of Viscount Houghton, and he is also the real owner of the mine.

According to him, this place has been occupied by Horton for more than two years, and many of the miners are refugees captured secretly.

Since this area belongs to Lentini, in order to avoid being discovered, the guards have received orders that anyone who trespasses here will be killed.

"Holden."

Raven muttered the name, his eyes narrowed.

"My lord, Viscount Horton is the lord of the neighboring Hex Territory, and his uncle is Earl Tangdi. We'd better not provoke him."

Just then Hans said.

His meaning was very clear, Horton has a strong background, so let's just put up with it.

"You mean, let me swallow this breath?"

"My Lord, you are a lord, and they are an earl and a viscount. Why do you have to quarrel with them?"

"Oh? Is this what you mean? How about you be the lord?" Raven said with a smile.
