Chapter 146: Seizing Military Merit! (Fifth update completed)

"The Zhimin attacked here not long ago," Raven replied, "May I ask who your Excellency is?"

"I am Harit from the Ismail family. I am here to help Duke Lennon on the orders of the head of the family. Are you the lord of this place?"

"Yes, I'm Raven."

"Lord Raven, why are there so many intelligent people here? Have the front lines been defeated?"

Herrit's eyes rolled.

If this is the case, he must retreat immediately, as his number of people is not enough to fill the gap in front of Zhimin.

"I don't know either. They appeared very suddenly. They should be a small group of enemies."

Herit breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion: "Did you kill these Zhimin?"

The corpses on the ground were all strong and sturdy, and they were obviously elite soldiers.

Especially looking at the giant people of Shield Mountain, each one is as big as a small mountain.

"Not bad." Raven said calmly.

Harit gasped.

He estimated that even if his team faced these intelligent people, it would be at best a miserable victory, or even a disastrous one.

Just then, his eyes fell on the two bodies.

Their armor is obviously different from that of other intelligent people. It looks more gorgeous and has a stronger aura.

It was Tasso and Buckle.

Especially Baker, his armor is more advanced, and there is still a wilderness totem on his face!

You must know that all the wise people who have awakened the wilderness totem are truly strong, and most of them have prominent identities.

"Did you also kill these two Zhimin?" he asked in surprise.

Raven nodded.

There was a strange light in Herrit's eyes.

He looked at Baker, then at the pile of corpses, and suddenly laughed mysteriously.

"Haha, Your Excellency is really joking. If there is any strong man still in the city, please ask him to come out and see me."

Is this guy crazy? If it wasn't me, did you kill him?
Raven complained inwardly and shook his head:
“Indeed, we killed him.”

"How is this possible? Even I am no match for this wise and powerful man, so how could he die in your hands?" Herrit's tone turned cold.

Without waiting for Raven to speak, he said something to the cavalry leader beside him.

The cavalry leader's expression changed, but he finally nodded.

"Come here, help me clean up the battlefield." He came out with a group of subordinates.

Raven's eyes narrowed.

This behavior has crossed the line.

He is the winner, and it is his right to clean up the battlefield. This is the default truth.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Raven didn't say anything because the other side had more people and more power.

But gradually he realized something was wrong.

These people actually freed up dozens of horses and put the intelligent people on the horses.

At this moment, his soldiers came to Baker and wanted to take the ornaments from his body.

"Put it down! This is our spoils!" the cavalry leader suddenly shouted.

Raven's face suddenly darkened.

Damn it, when did I become your trophy?
He looked at Herrit and asked coldly, "What do you mean, sir?"

"He has made it very clear. This is Zhimin who was killed by our side. Please don't touch him." Herrit said with a cold face.

An Qi was also angry: "You are talking nonsense! We were the ones who killed these Zhimin, how did they become yours?"

"How dare you! Do you want to steal my military achievements?
Don't you think you can stop so many wise people?"

"You! Shameless!" An Qi was shaking with anger.

The residents were filled with indignation and started cursing.

"How shameless! It's obviously ours!"

"Whose team is this? How dare they rob military industry!" "We fight to the death, but they take advantage of us."

"How wicked! Giving birth to a child without an asshole!"

……

Seeing the residents' insults getting more and more unpleasant, Harit became furious:
“Shut up! I see you’ve already surrendered to Zhimin, so don’t blame me for being rude!”

He waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him surrounded the city gate, looking like they were about to take action.

"Wait!"

Raven's face changed drastically, and he suddenly thought of a possibility -

If Herit killed everyone here, and then fabricated the illusion that they died at the hands of the wise men, and then said that he came thousands of miles to help and killed all the wise men under the city of Lentini, then all the merits of the war would belong to this bastard.

No one would believe that such a powerful Zhimin would die in their hands.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. This guy could definitely do it.

He quickly said, "We made a mistake. These Zhimin were indeed killed by you. Thank you for saving Lentini."

"Brother Raven, what are you talking about?"

"Shut up! If it weren't for General Herrit, we would have died long ago. Why don't you retreat!"

An Qi turned her head away with tears in her eyes.

Little did she know, Raven's nails had already sunk into her flesh, blood trickling down her hands.

He was about to explode with anger, but he had to endure it!
There was a cold light flashing in Harit's eyes.

He looked at everyone, then at Zhimin's body, and struggled a little.

Just as Raven expected, he was determined to kill.

As long as he does this job cleanly, he will surely gain great prestige and his status in the family will be unparalleled.

However, he did not dare to guarantee the loyalty of his subordinates.

Although they were all family warriors, there were too many of them.

It would be fine if he just wanted to take credit, but if he really massacred the city, who knows who would leak it out.

If the news leaks out, he will be ruined and His Majesty will never forgive him.

On one side is the huge temptation, and on the other side is the risk of being exposed. Herit's expression was struggling and looked a little hideous.

Finally, he laughed:
"You're sensible, but what if you go around slandering me after I leave?"

Raven laughed: "How could that be? You saved us, how could we be so heartless."

"Haha, you are such an interesting person.

Okay, I'll forgive you this time. Remember, don't steal what's not yours!"

The residents were filled with grief and anger. If looks could kill Harit, he would have died hundreds of times.

I feel aggrieved!
Almost all the soldiers died before they stopped Zhimin, but the credit was taken away by these people, and they were the ones who got blamed. What kind of world is this!
Raven narrowed his eyes, his anger already boiling.

Fuck your mother, Harit, if I don’t make you come back on your knees, I’m not a human being!
That night, everyone gathered outside the city.

A high platform was built in front of them, and the dead soldiers were placed on it.

Raven drew his sword and tapped each soldier's forehead lightly. Then the priest sprinkled "purifying water" on them, and then the farewell ceremony began.

Soon, flames shot up into the sky, and the sound of women crying rang in Raven's ears, and his heart twitched.

Hesa, Monroe and others came. They lay on stretchers and looked at the fire silently.

After the pastor's treatment, they were finally pulled back from the brink of death.

However, due to the severity of the injury, it will take a long time to fully recover.

When Hesa ​​heard that the credit was taken away by Harit, his teeth were almost broken and his wounds burst.

In the kingdom of the wise orcs, stealing credit is the most despicable act and will result in death by an axe.

And Lanster only said one sentence: "He is useless."

The ceremony ended and the crowd gradually dispersed, but Raven stayed.

"You guys go back first. I'll go see Theresa."
