Chapter 150 Charlotte's conspiracy!

You’re leaving right after signing the contract, what’s the point of having fun?

Raven's face turned cold, "What do you mean?"

Guy was a little embarrassed and said:

“Dante is now at war with Turan, and the cavalry regiment my brother is in is about to go to the southern battlefield.

I would like to give him this Lei Judgment, so that he has a much better chance of survival. I wonder if your Excellency will allow it?"

He looked at Raven nervously, thinking that this request was indeed a bit excessive.

"Don't worry, all my weapons and personal belongings are pledged here."

He took out a rusty sword and two pieces of stinky, stiff clothes.

Raven: ...

Seeing that Raven remained silent, he became a little anxious and took off a rope from his neck with a small iron box hanging on it.

"How about I mortgage this to you as well?"

"What's in here?"

"My father's ashes."

Riven's blood boiled. Damn, what do I need this for? Am I trying to steal someone's wife?

"Okay, okay, go ahead. You don't have to mortgage it. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."

"why?"

Damn, can you fall asleep holding your father’s ashes?
Guy was so touched that the lord didn't even hesitate and seemed to trust him completely.

So he had to leave the small box to him to show his feelings.

The two of them kept shirking responsibility, and finally Raven chased him away.

"Please keep my collateral safe for me." Guy said seriously before leaving.

Soon, the recruitment news spread among various taverns, but because the content was too absurd, many mercenaries treated it as a joke.

It’s not that no one believed it, and some mercenaries still tried to come to Lentini.

After meeting Raven, they were all shocked by the three star rings and countless materials, and gladly put aside their pride and joined.

In just one month, Raven had recruited more than thirty high-level warriors, four of whom were great warriors.

There are also many warriors of the Honor rank.

However, Raven only kept three of them.

In addition to Guy, the other two are Yellin and Uman, both of whom are experienced and reputable mercenaries.

He doesn't like anything else.

From then on, Lentini finally had her own core combat force.

According to Raven's estimation, he could surely win even if he faced an earl's armed forces.

Odinga is a medium-sized city located in the southwest of the Duchy of Sussex, in a relatively remote location.

On a hill outside the city, Charlotte and Vega stopped their horses and observed the city.

The old cavalryman Gonzalez followed them.

Originally he was Margaret's guardian knight. After the death of the high priest, he was assigned by God's messenger to protect the two sisters.

But in fact, it was Vega.

Charlotte pointed her whip at the city wall in the distance:
“Vega, I am going to take Odinga as the first city of our Kingdom of William.”

"So we will have to face Dante's attack directly. Isn't it too early?"

"No, I'm not going to take it by force. Just wait and see what I have to say."

Fury had just come of age and was the only son in his family, so he was exempted from being drafted into the battlefield.

However, due to the intense war situation and the emptiness in the rear, he still needed to join the city guards and participate in city defense and patrols.

Today he will be patrolling with Uncle Ron.

Ron is a veteran who lost his left arm in a battle and was assigned to the city guard after he recovered.

He has learned a lot from following Ron these days.

According to the planned route, his five-man team will spend one day patrolling around Odinga.

When patrolling the back mountain, he met two girls on horseback and an old cavalryman.

Fury had never seen such a beautiful girl.

They rode white war horses, with their tasseled skirts hanging down over the horses' bellies. They were so beautiful and unattainable.

Especially the little girl on the right, who is about the same age as him, makes his heart beat faster.

"Excuse me, are you Odinga's guards?" Charlotte spoke first in a soft voice.

"They actually talked to me?" Fury's face was excited and he was about to speak.

"Who are you?" Ron suddenly shouted.

He instinctively felt something was wrong.

Especially the old cavalryman, who put him under tremendous pressure.

"We came from Balarenka and want to see the mayor here. Will you take us there?"

"Meet the city lord?"

Ron frowned.

"Tell me your identities first."

"We are... princesses of the Kingdom of William." So they are princesses, no wonder they are so beautiful, Fury thought, feeling vaguely lost.

He doesn't deserve it.

Wait, Kingdom of William? What is that?
Before he could react, Ron's shout suddenly rang in his ears:
"Run away!"

The next moment, his eyes went dark.

When Fury woke up, he found himself lying on the ground.

Ron and three others were sitting dejectedly, with the old cavalryman pointing his sword at them.

The little girl who made his heart beat was waving her staff, casting silver light on Ron and the others, muttering something.

Gradually, their eyes became confused and dull.

Fury looked at the little girl, then at Ron, and suddenly felt extremely frightened.

"Let them go! What are you doing!" Ron shouted.

A sword was placed at his neck.

"Ignorant fool," Charlotte sneered.

Not long after, Ron and the others opened their eyes and returned to normal.

But they looked at Fury with burning eyes, as if they wanted to eat him.

"Uncle Ron, what...what happened to you?" Fury asked in horror.

"Master, do you want to catch him?" Ron asked expressionlessly.

"No need," Charlotte said condescendingly, "He will be your dawn priest."

"As ordered."

"Priests of the Dawn?" Fury was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Vega looked at Fury, a trace of sadness on her face.

This child seems to be younger than himself.

"Sister, he has a talent for this."

After saying that, Vega pointed the staff at Fury's head.

A dawn force surged out of her body and entered Fury's body.

Fury's eyes suddenly widened.

His consciousness fell into a dark world, with coldness and loneliness filling every corner.

He didn't know how long he had been lost here. The endless darkness had made him completely collapse.

At this moment, he was crawling on the ground like a wild beast, roaring and crying bitterly.

At this moment, a beam of silver light pierced through the darkness and shone on him.

The light was so warm that it instantly filled him with strength.

A majestic and coercive voice sounded in the darkness:

"Mortal, are you willing to surrender?"

"I……"

Fury was no longer in a daze. He wanted to nod and agree, but a voice in his heart stopped him.

"I was born as a human being, why should I submit?"

"Mortal, are you hesitating? Then, stay here forever!"

"Don't leave me! I do!" Fury suddenly shouted, his body and face pressed to the ground.

"Very good, crawl and you will gain divine power. From now on, you will be a priest of the dawn."

The great voice faded away and the darkness turned into light.

Fury looked around, a look of horror on his face——

Wherever he looked, he saw countless people crawling on the ground like him.

Finally, Fury opened his eyes, and a wave of divine power surged from his body.

"From now on, you are a priest of the dawn," Vega looked at him, "tell me everything you know."

"Yes, my lord."

In Fury's eyes, Vega exuded a golden glow, noble and holy.

Ron and his four companions left, and they returned to Odinga with Charlotte's mission.

Fury followed Vega.

In Odinga City, Lord Gordon exclaimed:

"What! You said that gold was discovered in Galion?"

"Yes, we heard from others when we were on patrol that many people have gone to rob it," Ron said awkwardly.

His expression was somewhat dull, but his gaze towards Gordon was burning.

Gordon felt that something was wrong with Ron, but he was excited about the gold mine, so he didn't think much about it.

He had to rush to Galion as soon as possible to control the situation.

Galyon is Odinga's town, so the gold mine naturally belongs to him.

"Take fifty cavalrymen with me. No, eighty cavalrymen, follow me. I want to see who dares to run wild in my territory!"
