Full Time Mage Lord

"Well, this is it!" the mayor said.

"We don't have a problem with it, this place is great!" the rest agreed.

"Okay, then go back and quickly organize everyone to transform this place!" the mayor said and ordered...

…

After returning home, Hawke was surprised to learn that the whole town was about to move. His mother, Linda, briefly told Hawke about the matter. Hawke also felt uneasy. He was really afraid that, as his mother said, if someone from the imperial capital really came to find him... …

He has known since he was a child that the relationship between his father and his two uncles is not good, so the peaceful life is coming to an end.

A large number of houses need to be built in the deep mountains. The mayor first ordered some townspeople to go there and build them, while the rest followed Baroque in the town to observe the situation.

Baroque also transferred all the property in his family to hide it. They were not doing it for these properties because they knew that they could not fight against the threat from the imperial capital now...

Baroque began to place his hopes on his son and his partners. These ten years gave Baroque hope that these properties might be of great help to Hawke in the future.

This is not just Baroque's hope, but the whole town's hope as well.

Because if the emperor sends people, these young people will continue to pass on the stories of Huangshui Town. They, adults, should pave the way for these hopes...

…

Eternal calendar year 1224, the eleventh year after Baroque disappeared, this year is destined to be recorded in the history of the Star Empire, although the things recorded are not glorious...

Hawke will remember this day forever...

clang!

clang!

When the vigilant townspeople in the town sounded the alarm gong, people in the town began to panic. What was coming, came anyway.

There were still many old and weak townspeople evacuating, and Baroque took some of his family attendants to help them leave the town as quickly as possible.

When the blood-red glow of the setting sun shone on this small town, it was already as quiet as hell. There was only the uneasiness in the hearts of the hunters who stayed here to accompany the Baroque family.

They don't mind that just like their ancestors decades ago, the fighting against thugs and remnants of soldiers who invade their homes always wakes up these younger generations of hunters, and they know what they want to do.

There was a red cloud on the horizon, as if soaked in hot blood. The red was dazzling. Baroque led everyone to hold on in the town. They had to buy time for the last group of old and weak townspeople to evacuate. Otherwise, at their speed, they would be attacked by the imperial capital. The scout discovered it directly.

The adult Hawke took these old and weak townspeople to hide in the mountains.

When Hawke reached the hillside of Lunterdam, Kilian had led his army to a place only two kilometers outside the town.

Baroque knew that they could not leave. There was a considerable part of the open plain outside the town, and their speed would not be faster than the imperial cavalry.

Baroque now hopes that the traps and traps at the entrance of the town can block it for a while.

"Come on, this is where the rebels gather. Kill them all. They are all thieves. Their property is also the wealth of the imperial capital. If you get their property, the empire will recognize the legality of your possession of it. !”

Kilian shouted to his men. Obviously, Kilian's words had an effect, and the soldiers became excited.

The troops Jilian led this time were no longer members of the original Star Knights. The original group of elite soldiers and generals loyal to Baroque had him and Beerus sent to other places for various reasons, but they In order to maintain his good image, he still left some soldiers behind, but this time he did not bring them.

Because they would not believe whether these soldiers would defect in front of the battle and support Baroque.

Moreover, Jilian would not tell these soldiers the true identity of the person they wanted to attack, only that they were thieves. In this case, killing one of the soldiers would be a meritorious feat!

"Humph, if you're not ruthless, you won't be able to stand firm!" Kilian should think about himself, otherwise all the benefits will be taken away by Beerus.

Kill! As soon as the soldiers heard that they could make a profit, they rushed forward. Many of the soldiers Jilian had recruited in the past few years were rich young masters or ruffians. Over the years, he had also led these people to attack " "Thieves and bandits", they also shared a lot of benefits. The rebels and bandits he attacked in the past few years were all loyal ministers or innocent townspeople.

Ji Lian held the line at the back, watching the soldiers charging at him, as if he saw that his second brother had been defeated at his feet, and there was a hint of a sinister smile on his lips.

"Ah...ah..."

With several screams, Kilian woke up from his fantasy. He saw that many of his soldiers were missing, and the rest were running back in confusion.

"Damn it!" Kilian cursed, and quickly rushed forward with his good guard. "Don't retreat!" Kilian shouted, whipping his mount.

After leading the team, we could see clearly that several large pits were filled with our own soldiers, and these fallen soldiers were strung together like candied haws on skewers, skewered by some sharpened wooden sticks.

"Is it a trap?! Regroup!"

Jilian shouted and counted the number of people. Unexpectedly, even before seeing the so-called bandits, more than a hundred people were lost.

Killian was irritated. This was the first time he had lost so much before seeing anyone, but he was thankful that he still had many people with him.

But he started to feel a little worried. Looking at this posture, the second brother was already prepared...

He's not really armed, is he? If that were the case, I'm afraid people like myself would be a little confused.

"Come on, let the cavalry charge first!"

Ji Lian ordered, this move really worked. Out of more than a dozen war horses, only one rushed into the town. Ji Lian looked at the road full of big holes in front of him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the large army was allowed to rush over, , and I don’t know how many people can be left.

"Come for me, don't let anyone go, kill them!" Killian said fiercely.

This time, it was confirmed that Barok had private fighting power. This was a rebellion against the Star Empire!

To kill, the soldiers rushed forward again, and this time they rushed into the town smoothly.

At this time, Hawke had already led the villagers over the gentle hills of Lunterdam, and his father Baroque also began to lead the hunters to retreat quietly through a mountain forest on the edge of the town.

The town was quiet——

The men Kilian had brought were setting fires and searching for property.

"Report, the town is empty, there is no one there, and the houses are all empty!" a soldier captain reported to Kilian.

"No one is there?" Killian said in surprise, "Search carefully. If you don't find anything in the town, go up to the mountains and search!" Killian ordered the soldiers to expand the search area. He couldn't let Baroque escape, and the more Killian thought about it, the more frightened he became. This Baroque could actually run away with a whole town of citizens? !

Baroque originally planned to lead everyone to escape, but when he saw that the soldiers refused to give up and began to prepare to go up the mountain, Baroque was really scared.

He was afraid that the townspeople would be found and persecuted, so he led everyone to fight out of the woods, at least they could catch him by surprise!

Although there are few people on Baroque's side, their combat power far exceeds that of Ji Lian and the others. The hunters who once lived in the barren mountains faced ferocious beasts and even monsters.

The hunters' soul power just hasn't been awakened, otherwise they would all be first-rate knights.

After a wave of arrows, Baroque led some hunters who were good at close quarters to launch an assault, killing the soldiers led by Jilian and running around.

When Killian saw Baroque coming out, he was happy at first. Killian thought that Baroque had no way to escape.

But when he saw how fierce Baroque's group was, he felt a little guilty. Kilian knew clearly that he was no match for Baroque, who was once the leader of the Knights. If his men really couldn't resist it, he would be doomed.

"Array up!"

Ji Lian ordered, despite looking at the phalanx composed mostly of dandy boys, when their own lives are at stake, they really look like soldiers.

After losing hundreds of soldiers, these people began to work hard to save their lives. After hearing the order, they quickly formed a formation.

There were more than a thousand people, with 300 shield soldiers in front, surrounding Baroque and dozens of others in the middle.

Behind the shield soldiers are the spearmen, and after that are the long-range archer troops, the standard Starry Empire array tactics. Sadly, these tactics were all improved by Baroque...

"superior!"

Ji Lian ordered, and these people pressed forward step by step. When they were about a hundred steps away from Baroque and others, the sound of breaking through the air sounded——

Whoosh whoosh!

Nearly a hundred arrows shot out at once, and some of the more powerful ones such as Baroque could only parry, while some of the remaining hunters were hit by several arrows.

After a wave of arrows, only a dozen people here survived...

No matter how powerful Baroque was, there was nothing he could do at this moment. Seeing the people around him fall down one by one, his heart was filled with anger, but he had no power to fight back.

"Killian!"

Baroque had already seen Kilian hiding in the distance. He roared angrily, and his voice echoed throughout the battlefield and spread far away.

Killian will not respond to Baroque, he wants Baroque to die like this.

There is a person on the gentle hill of Lundtdam who suffers no less than Baroque.

After Hawke led everyone into the edge of the deep mountain, he did not follow them further into the depths. Instead, he hid on a small high slope on the gentle hill of Lunterdam.

He has to wait for his father!

However, what he saw was the carnage of a war.

The blood everywhere was constantly impacting Hawke's mind.

What he couldn't accept even more was that it was his uncle who personally led the soldiers, which made him feel even more sad.

He was angry that his uncle wanted to kill his father. When he saw his father surrounded in a circle and arrows flying from his hiding place, Hawke was afraid that his father would really be hit by an arrow.

"I didn't expect Third Uncle to underestimate the affection between brothers!"

Seeing that his father's movements were getting slower and slower, but his third uncle did not stop, but continued to let others attack, Hawke knew that his father could not hold on for long, and his physical strength was limited after all.

"Father!"

The murderous aura on Hawke's body became stronger and stronger, and his eyes began to become bloodshot, and his eyes were frighteningly red.

At this time, there was only one word in his mind - kill.

He wanted to rush down many times, but in the end his calmness and rationality told him that with his ability, he would only die if he continued, and it would distract his father.

He couldn't bear to watch anymore. His whole body hurt now, as if his whole body was being squeezed. What could be more painful than watching his father being tortured...

but……

Just like ten years ago, he could only watch his father being tortured, but he was still so weak.

Hawke turned around and left, running towards the mountains. Isn't this exactly what his father wanted? What could he do if he went out by himself?

Uncle Kilian, if you do something too much, I will cut you into pieces!

…

Hawke kept running, he shed tears, and at the end he even cried aloud.

Ah Wu Wu Wu Wu——

Woohoo——

The miserable sound caused the birds in the mountains to scatter in all directions, and there seemed to be wolves deep in the forest also whining, as if echoing Hawke's howling.

This miserable cry reached the ears of the townspeople who were hiding in the mountains. Their expressions were full of compassion. They knew that it was Hawke's voice. From Hawke's voice, the townspeople knew what must be happening outside. .

Some female townspeople couldn't help but began to cry softly. Their husbands and the hunters were also outside.

At this time, nine young people flew out from the crowd and ran towards the place where the sound was heard. Although they had not yet shed their childishness, they had fighting spirit in their hearts.

Why have they practiced martial arts all these years?

Stay in the mountains and continue to be hunters like your parents and grandparents did?

The answer is of course not...

…

"Father..." Hawke choked while running. He wondered why he was so weak. If he could fight against those people...

Hawke's tears had blurred his vision, and there was no sound in his ears. At this time, he couldn't feel anything, and there was silence around him.

Plop——

Hawk's vision went dark at this moment, and when he felt like he was about to faint and fall to the ground, a body suddenly fell next to him and supported him.

Woo——

Hawke raised his head hard and looked at the people around him.

It's his friends...

Hawke fainted, and they immediately picked him up and disappeared deep into the forest...

…

"How's it going? Is he awake?"

"No, it's been three days."

"Hey, he's getting weaker and weaker!"

"Is there any way? If this continues, I'm afraid..."

"No, no, he will wake up!"

The mayor was the last to speak.

The mayor and several townspeople who are quite knowledgeable in medical skills are guarding Hawke.

For three days, Hawke has been sleeping like this without consciousness. No one knows what to do. If he doesn't wake up, he may never wake up...

The day passed slowly, and in the evening the mayor reluctantly asked everyone to prepare.

Although the mayor does not think that Hawke will not remain comatose, it has been three days, and people will starve to death even if they are hungry...

Maybe he won't wake up, poor child, his parents have no news, but he has to...

When Hawke's mother saw Hawke's appearance that day, she knew something would happen to her husband. She ran out and headed towards the town...

well……

The mayor sighed. The Reinhardt family had changed the once small village, and hunters began to gather in this peaceful town. The townspeople were grateful to him.

but now……

The people in the town gathered around Hawke's thatched cottage, knowing that there was some bad news.

Everyone is worried about this child. Could it be that this child also wants to...

This was the last hope for the Reinhardt family, and they began to pray, even though they did not believe in gods.

The nine friends have always been by Hawke's side. They want to spend time with Hawke. After spending so long together, they have not only developed a deep affection for Hawke, but they also regard Hawke as their own king, especially After they knew Hawke's identity, they even joked that Hawke would make them generals, prime ministers, marshals...

Hawke is never selfish, and he will share his spiritual insights with everyone when he practices.

Hawke has the shadow of Uncle Baroque in him. His kindness and selflessness are just a miniature version of Baroque.

Sudden--

"Well……"

A groan broke the silence of the thatched cottage.

Everyone looked at Hawke lying on the bed. Was it him who made the sound?

They looked at each other uncertainly and then at the bed.

"woke up?!"

"Hawk wake up!"

Someone said something, and they all gathered around. Hawke's eyes were still closed, and he looked very painful from his face.

"water……"

Indeed, they heard a voice from Hawk's throat.

"Get some water!"

One of Hawk's friends, Jasilla, quickly poured a large bowl of water and brought it over.

Tina and Liya hurriedly helped Hawke up. Tina let Hawke lie half in her arms. Liya took the water bowl from Jessela's hand and poured it towards Hawke's mouth little by little.

Hawke slowly opened his eyes at this time.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Someone saw it and ran out of the thatched house and shouted outside.

As soon as the mayor heard this, he rushed in with people. Seeing that Hawke was still in pain, the mayor comforted him and called people to come in and take care of him.

Hawk wakes up.

In order to help Hawk get better as soon as possible, several friends went out to hunt and fish every day, and used the most nutritious ingredients to replenish his body.

The mayor comes every day. He keeps telling Hawke about the past events of the town to help Hawke pass the time and make him forget some of the grief about his parents.

People in the town brought a lot of delicious food every day. In order to stop him from thinking about what was on his back, his friends stayed with Hawke every night to make him feel not alone. As each day passed, Hawke gradually began to recover. .

A month later, Hawke was able to stand up and practice martial arts as before. The pain seemed to be gone from Hawke's face.

Hawke knew that some of his friends had either lost their fathers or become orphans in this catastrophe, but they had always stayed by his side to take care of him.

And if I don't wake up, how can I be worthy of those friends who suppress their inner pain to accompany me? !

…

Hawke and his friends finished their practice that day, and happened to see the mayor coming over.

"Uncle Mayor, you are here" Jessela greeted first.

"Come and see, practice is important, but don't be too tired. Is Hawke here?" the mayor said as he walked inside.

"Here, he just went over there." Jesse held hands and pointed in one direction.

The mayor went in that direction and saw Hawke.

"Uncle Mayor, you're here." Hawke heard Jessela speak and was already walking towards her.

"How's your body?"

"Thank you, uncle mayor, for caring about me. I'm fine now."

"I feel relieved now."

"Uncle Mayor, um, uh, is there any news about my parents?" Hawke finally couldn't help but ask.

"Not yet, but they should still be alive. That day, the people in the town and I saw that the soldiers had withdrawn, so we went to see the remnants of the battlefield. It turned out that the other bodies were all there, but your parents were missing, and the four of us I've searched everywhere, but there's nothing there. It seems like your uncle didn't kill your parents."

"Can he be so kind?" Hawke seemed to be asking himself.

"However, it's not necessarily true. Maybe he was rescued? Judging from the scene, many of your uncle's people died, and the battlefield was very messy. It seemed that the besiegers were attacked from outside, so some of them were also rescued. Possibility of rescue..."

The mayor was not trying to comfort Hawke. He said it was all true and continued, "Don't worry, you are cultivating stronger soul power now so that you can find your parents and die for the people in the town." The townspeople seek revenge.”

"Yes, I must practice martial arts well!"

In the few days after Hawke woke up, the mayor told him that his parents might still be alive. How could the mayor analyze so comprehensively? This is a specialty of hunters. When hunting for a long time, they almost always judge from the footprints. Prey situation.

Therefore, people in small towns, in addition to their natural sense of smell, are also extremely sensitive to the environment.

During the month when Hawke was ill, the mayor had several more houses built for them. Now they all have a room each, and there are still many houses vacant.

Vegetables have also been planted in the vegetable plot, and now it has almost become a complete cottage.

At Reyam's suggestion, they are building some defensive walls, arrow towers, etc.

Hawke practices hard every day. There is always a hope in Hawke's heart - to see his parents again. His martial arts skills are also improving day by day, and his soul power is becoming more and more honest inadvertently.

A year later, their cottage began to take shape. Hawke also asked Rayam to build a small boat that could be used on the river. Hawke often slept and meditated in the boat. He felt that in the boat, he It seems that I can feel some kind of power in my body.

Hawke did not continue to practice as usual that day. Instead, he wandered around the yard, looking here and there, with an obviously anxious expression.

Rayam and others guessed what Hawke wanted to do, but no one bothered.

At noon, after lunch, Hawke called everyone into the hall.

"I think, I want to go find my parents," Hawke told everyone.

After Hawke finished speaking, the others immediately dispersed and returned to their houses.

Hawke wondered what was wrong with them, didn't he like what he said?

But after a while, everyone came back, all changed into light clothes, each carrying a baggage, and weapons that they were good at in their hands or waists.

Hawk looked at them in surprise.

"Let's go! Why are you still standing there?" Tina said.

"You, what are you doing?" Hawke looked at them in surprise.

"We are together. Wherever you go, we will go. Of course, don't forget to make me a general in the future, hehe, female general!" Liya said with a smile.

"Yes, you left, what are we doing here, we want to fight with you." Zach also said here.

"Yes, Uncle Reinhardt and Mrs. Reinhardt are also very good to us, and we hope to find them," Rayam said.

"We are determined to follow you. Wherever you go, we will go. We can go wherever we want together!" Mundo and Munro said together.

"The most important thing is that we are afraid that you can't find your way back. What's more important is that we will still be your helpers if you are bullied!" Nancy said half-jokingly.

"This... thank you, thank you, but this is my own business, and it is full of dangers. They will not let me go. I can't implicate you!" Hawke said.

"That's why we went, we couldn't let you die." Lucio denied Hawke's statement.

"Let's go, Wind Speedy!" Jasilla directly called out Hawke's nickname, "It takes a while, but it's not fast at all!"

"Okay, let's do it together!" Hawke was very moved. Now that things have come to this, he can only repay these friends with a better future.

"We have to speak to the mayor." Reyam suggested.

"Okay, I'm just going to say it." After Hawke finished speaking, he picked up the baggage and a sword and led everyone towards the mayor's house.

"You want to leave?!" The mayor's expression didn't seem too surprised. "Okay, just go out and experience it. You also go home and say to your family that Hawke is waiting for you here!"

"But, Hawke, do you have a plan? Are you going to find your sister?" the mayor asked, "or go directly to the Imperial Capital?"

"I want to go to the Imperial Capital first to have a look. My sister's place is in a foreign country. It's too far away and will take up more time, so I'll go to the Imperial Capital first and then think of a solution." Hawke replied.

"Yes, very few people in our town go to the Haoyue Empire. They don't know how to get there. It's okay to go to the Imperial Capital, but the Imperial Capital is too dangerous. You have to be careful not to expose your identity. Your martial arts are not very strong, but It's enough to deal with ordinary soldiers, but remember not to initiate trouble!" the mayor told them.

"Don't worry, uncle mayor, I will be flexible this time. I still have some memories of the way to the imperial capital."

"Hey, be careful when you go out. There are a lot of bad people out there."

"Hawk remembers."

"Here, take it, it's better to be at home when you are away. These are all left by your father." The mayor gave Hawke a cloth bag.

Hawke held it quite heavy, and when he looked inside, it turned out to be a bag of gold and silver coins!

"No, no, uncle, I have..." Hawke knew how valuable this bag of money was.

"Child, take it! This was originally given to us by your father!"

Hawke had no choice but to accept it.

Everyone in the town came out, and they came to see Hawke and his party off.

"Uncle Mayor, let's go." Hawke always felt that saying this seemed a bit sad.

The mayor sent them to the mountain road outside the stockade, but Hawke and the others walked in the other direction of the stockade.

The mayor and townspeople wondered what was going on.

It turns out that Hawke suddenly proposed to take the water route, and a boat has been built just for today!

Among the tributaries of the Tianshui River in the upper reaches of the Tianshui River that passes through the imperial capital, there happens to be one that leads to the village. It is much more convenient to go down the river and get to the imperial capital.

"Roll the boat over, let the others pack their luggage and belongings and move them to the boat." Hawke assumed the posture of a captain.

Everyone understands that we have to go by boat, which is great!

At least you don’t have to walk anymore, which is nice!

A few people were talking and laughing as they packed their luggage and brought dry food.

After Mundo and Munro rocked the boat, everyone moved everything onto the boat.

"sail!"

Hawk shouted.

Mundo and Munro untied the rope and adjusted the direction of the boat.

"Okay, let the boat move!" Hawke shouted.

"Let the boat move." Everyone shouted together.

…

The boat drifted through its first night in the river, drifted out of the mountains, and came to a big river. The friends were very excited, but unfortunately Hawke told them that this river was not the Tianshui River leading to the capital.

On the third day, Hawke felt something was wrong because he seemed to be deviating from the Star Empire and heading towards the border of the Bone Empire.

"We will get off the ship in the next city, and we will go to the Bone Empire after we get off." Hawke said.

Needless to say, their boat took the wrong river route.

The Desolate Bone Empire is also a country that has never established relations with the Star Glory Empire. Instead, it often provokes border conflicts.

Currently guarding the border is Klin, the fourth prince of Emperor Rulanda and Baroque's fourth brother. He is brave and resourceful, and the army he commands is the "Star Chapter", one of the four major armies of the Star Empire.

In the past few years, Klin has led his army to defeat the Barren Bone Empire's attacks many times, and it has also been the most troublesome defender for the Barren Bone Empire. Not only have they not gained an inch of land in the past few years, but Klin has conquered the Barren Bone Empire's territory. A military fortress was built in Rheinburg, an important border town, which directly blocked the way for the Bone Empire to attack the Star Glory Empire.

Klin had a good relationship with Baroque. Since Baroque disappeared, Klin often misses his royal brother.

"Pull the boat to the shore. Mundo and Munro are responsible for destroying the boat. I can't let others get our boat." Hawke originally wanted to hide the boat, but there was no place to hide on the river.

Mundo and Munro dug several holes in the boat and immediately went ashore. The boat sank little by little, and the ten teenagers began their official journey...

…

Stoke City is relatively large and its location is also very important. To the east you can reach the Desolate Bone Empire, to the west you can reach the Kosma Empire, and to the north you can reach the capital - Star City.

Stoke City is Hawke's first stop.

After entering Stoke City, Hawke was fine. Others were amazed by the spectacular city walls. There were also a lot of things sold here, many of which they had never seen before.

Hawke took them to a tavern to stay, not only to relieve their fatigue, but also to have fun with them.

Hawke introduced every business establishment in the city one by one, every thing he had never seen before, such as a casino that can destroy people and so on.

On this day, Hawke didn't go out by himself, because his group of people were too conspicuous walking on the street. Besides, they followed him every day and didn't have much fun. Let them go out by themselves.

Hawke came downstairs and asked for a pot of milk tea, which was Hawke's favorite drink when he was a child.

Looking at the bustling street with people coming and going outside, my mind went back to my childhood. At that time, I often went shopping with my parents and sister, thinking about my mother rolling around in the street instead of buying candied haws for me.

While he was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise, interrupting his train of thought. He looked towards the door in disgust, and happened to see his friends being chased in by a group of people. He looked at the clothes of those people. You know which Gui Shao's thug he is.

"Rayam, what's going on?" Hawke stood up and asked.

"They, they want to rob Tina and the others and take advantage of them!" Rayam replied when he saw Hawke.

"Hey, hey, hey! Come here, come and play with our young master, let our young master reward you more, these shabby clothes, look at what you are wearing!"

One of the thugs said, and the other thugs laughed and booed. Hawke and the others were dressed like country people, but their young master liked this country girl who was different from the city girl.

"Why don't you take action?" Hawke asked them accusingly. These gangsters were no match for them.

"We, we don't want to cause trouble to eldest brother." Jessela whispered.

Outside, they call Hawke their big brother.

"Trouble, we are not afraid of trouble. Although we have trouble when we come out this time, we cannot bear to be offended. Besides, these are scum." Balok said. He had seen similar people when he was a child. His father had already taught him a lesson for such a noble young man. a lot of.

Just as Hawke was about to take action, he was stopped by the owner of the tavern, "He is the young master of Stoke City!"

Hawke didn't say anything, but suddenly felt a soul pressure approaching, and he instinctively ducked past.

"You brat, how dare you dodge my fist?" the thug shouted. Before he could finish his words, he screamed, "Ugh!"

The thug who had just punched was held tightly by Hawke's arm. A green soul light appeared on his body. At the same time, he twisted his hand hard and broke the thug's arm directly!

The other thugs were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the thin boy in front of them could be so powerful, and he was also a ruthless character with soul power.

"You're such a smart boy, how dare you hit my young master's people? Come on, hit me!"

A young man dressed in luxurious clothes said harshly, he was the young master in charge of the family.

Other thugs swarmed after hearing this because they believed that no one in Stoke City would dare to do anything to them, but this time they were wrong.

I just heard Hawke say lightly, "Humph, I wanted to spare you this time, but it seems you want to die."

After Hawke finished speaking, his body flashed with soul energy, and he came forward. As soon as the other nine people saw that Hawke was coming, they ignored him, and colorful soul energy lights lit up in the tavern.

In the eyes of some onlookers in the tavern, they only moved a few times, but then, these onlookers screamed in surprise.

Because Hawke only had a few flashes of soul light, but all the thugs of twenty or thirty people fell to the ground without breathing!

Some people dared to kill the people in charge. What made them even more shocked was that before they could see how these people did it, these thugs died unexpectedly.

"Ah!" The woman's scream alerted everyone, someone had killed someone!

Everyone was frightened and began to flee in all directions. They all wanted to stay away from these people. They were not afraid that Hawke and others would kill them, but they were afraid that the leader would anger them. Who wanted them to not only look at the leader, but more importantly? They applauded, but if the management knew about it, they still don’t know what crime they would be convicted of.

It was also the first time for Hawke and others to kill someone. Although they were calm on the surface, they were scared inside. Seeing the people they killed, especially the blood stains all over the house, they began to feel a little uneasy.

After all, people who can use soul power are stronger than these ordinary thugs without soul power.

This young master is usually good at bullying ordinary people, but this time he encountered Hawke and the others who had soul power.

Although I was standing, my legs were very weak and I always felt like vomiting, especially those girls who almost vomited.

In fact, Hawke didn't want to kill them, but when he saw the young master in charge, he suddenly remembered the scene of his parents being chased by his third uncle, so he couldn't help but kill them in anger. He also said in his heart that the impulse was Devil.

He killed so many people in a moment of anger, and he was still the one in charge. Not only would they face arrest, but they would also be wanted everywhere, which would be even more unfavorable for him to find his parents in the future.

Hawke said to the others, "I'm sorry, I hurt everyone, and we are in danger of being hunted down."

Only then did everyone wake up and look at each other, not knowing what to say. They usually live in a small town, so they don't understand these rules.

Rayam, who was the quickest to react, said, "Brother, we are not afraid. We have thought about the danger since we came out. The worst we can do is run back!"

Others also expressed support for Hawke.

Hawk looked at everyone's indifferent expressions, but in fact he knew that everyone had some concerns in their hearts.

If you escape back, it will be bad for the whole village.

Hawke didn't want to affect everyone's emotions, so he said softly, "Okay, since everyone is not afraid, then we will face it together. I will never let others hurt any of us unless I die. From now on, we will Kill those who deserve to be killed, kill those who want to kill us. If you find anyone who has harmed any of us or has ill intentions, you are welcome to kill them! These people today deserve to die!"

Hawke's passionate words inadvertently inspired everyone's courage and fighting spirit. Growing up, the most common thing they heard was that the empire's powerful people were sinister, oppressing the people, bullying the weak, and they were simply thieves wearing knight armor. bandit!

They didn't have a good impression of the officials in the imperial capital, so when they saw Baroque, they would support him without hesitation.

If such a person could become the King of Stars, even though they only thought about it in their hearts, if it came true, these townspeople thought that this would be the happiest thing in the world!

So Reyam, who had the same mentality as the people in the small town, said in agreement, "Yes, we will face more such scenes in the future. Almost none of the empire's leaders does not bully the people!"

"Humph, just think of it as fighting for the injustice of those who are suffering!" Others also echoed.

The tavern owner didn't know what to do and wanted them to leave quickly, but after hearing what they just said, although some passion was aroused, but...

Then he thought that if they left, the manager would definitely not be able to let him go, so he hurried forward and said, "Guys, it's better to go back to your room to rest first. I'll have someone get some hot water for you to wash up. I can make arrangements here." Someone clean it up.”

Hawke understood what the boss meant and thought that he also hated these young nobles and was ready to cover for his side.

So without saying anything, he went upstairs with the others. The boss arranged for someone to deliver water and quickly ran to the governor's house in person. He thought that these gangsters had fallen into a trap.

It was true that he hated these noble young men, but he cherished his own life even more.

"Everyone, be prepared. There will be trouble soon. Don't think that the boss is really good for us. I think he is going to the governor's house to find someone to arrest us."

Hawke just pretended to believe the boss's words. He was talking to the other nine people upstairs at this time.

"Why?" Zach asked anxiously. He thought the boss was very good.

"Because we killed people in his shop, and the person who was in charge was the person in charge. If he didn't complain and arrest us, then the person in charge must arrest him." Hawke explained.

"Then why are we still doing this? Let's go. If we catch him, we'll catch him!" Mondo said.

"No, we can't leave, otherwise the boss will definitely suffer, and maybe others will be affected!" Hawke said hurriedly, his kindness inherited from his father Baroque.

"Yes, brother, you are right, they are all suffering people, and it is not easy for these ordinary people," Rayam said.

Hawke agreed and said, "Okay, get ready for action. This is a tough battle. You might encounter the city's guards or the leader himself!"

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. I am afraid it is these people who are talking about it, but it is precisely these fearlessness that can change this era.

After a while, the leader personally led hundreds of soldiers. Following the leader was the leader's son, and the one who led the leader's horse was the tavern owner.

"Come on, surround me and don't let anyone escape!" the leader ordered.

Hundreds of people quickly dispersed, only surrounding the tavern, and directly formed a formation, with the shield bearers in front, the spearmen behind, and finally the archers.

Regular army...

Hawke looked down from upstairs. When he saw this situation, he remembered the situation in the past when his parents and the people in the town were besieged. In addition to a burst of heartache, he felt a surge of anger.

"They wanted to destroy the building and force us out," Rayam said.

Hawke gradually calmed down after hearing what Rayam said. He couldn't be anxious, there were others.

"Do you dare to rush out with me?" Hawke asked.

"Dare!" the others replied in unison.

"Okay, but we don't charge now, otherwise we will be shot into hedgehogs by them." Hawke said, "In this case, brothers Mundo and Zach, get some tables and door panels."

"Yes!" The three of them quickly split up.

"Come on, let's continue drinking some milk tea." Hawke said softly.

Everyone else followed Hawke into the house, but they were all full of doubts and couldn't figure out what Hawke wanted to do.

After a while, the three of them came back with a few table panels and door panels. "Where to put them?" Munro asked.

"Block the door and come in quickly," Hawke said.

After the three of them put the table and door panels in place, they came in.

"What are we..." Reyam asked in confusion.

"Let's wait. The closer we get to the big battle, the more calm we must be. This will also help confuse our opponents. They are well prepared and aggressive. The important thing is that we try not to get hurt. Some of them may use soul power. people.

There are not many people who can use soul power among the people, and they are actually only a minority in the army.

Hawke and his group can all use soul power, perhaps thanks to his father. His father taught the townspeople how to use soul power, which enabled some people to awaken their soul power, especially their descendants, and master the key to soul power. Much easier than adults.

…

You have to wait, you have to maintain your strength, you have to see their motives...

Hawke kept telling himself to calm down and keep his composure.

To brake with stillness is what my father, Uncle Baroque, taught me.

Rayam blames himself a little. He is called a genius, but he still doesn't understand anything. Not only can't he help, but he is also a bit of a hindrance. You must know that his combat power is the worst among these people.

The steward waited outside for a while, but saw no movement, which was strange.

"Are you sure they are there?" the steward asked the tavern owner.

"Confirm, hey, confirm, and let the guys keep an eye on it. Hey, are they here?"

After the boss answered the supervisor in a low voice, he loudly scolded his clerk. When the supervisor scolded him, of course he wanted to vent his anger on the subordinate.

"Here, boss, they haven't gone out!" the guy said quickly.

"Sir, they are here!" The boss quickly replied to the supervisor with a smile.

"Take a few people to have a look." The officer pointed at an officer and said. His son had been bullied, and it was said that he was still a guy who could use soul power. The officer took this matter very seriously.

"Yes!" the officer replied, and rushed in with a dozen people.

"Someone's coming!" Nancy said.

"Humph, they are checking the situation. Zach, Nancy is left to you." Hawke said.

"Do not worry!".

They quietly came to the stairs and lay in wait.

"Zach, save some for me later, don't take it all by yourself." Nancy said so easily. With his soul power, he was indeed much stronger than ordinary people.

"Then it depends on your speed. No, you are already fast, so it depends on your ability." Zach knew that Nancy had wind-attributed soul power, and wind-attributed soul power was fast enough.

"Hmph, you really want to take it all for yourself!" Nancy also knows Zach's earth-attribute soul power. Zach, who has the power of the earth, has the highest combat power among the current people.

"Stop talking, you two, there's no need to argue if someone finds out." Rayam interrupted their conversation.

"Why are you here? Don't you worry about us?" Nancy asked looking at Rayam.

"No, brother asked me to tell you to try not to have a direct conflict and save your strength. There are hundreds of people outside."

"Oh!" Zach and Nancy understood Rhyam's purpose and unconsciously moved a little away from him.

Because they knew that although Rayam's combat power was not as good as theirs, they were still a little afraid of him because he had a mutated soul attribute - poison.

Adding poisonous properties to weapons and hidden weapons is what Reyam is here for.

Reyam's grandfather was relatively thin. In a mountain town that relied on hunting for a living, he was rarely able to hunt large prey. He only hunted pheasants and hares every time. His life in the town was always relatively poor, until Hawke's father appears, and Baroque teaches Rayam's grandfather the awakening of soul power.

What I didn't expect was that it turned out to be a mutated soul power attribute and a poison attribute.

Use poison to hunt.

Moreover, if this kind of poison loses the maintenance of soul power, it will immediately lose its potency. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of eating poisonous prey.

The poison attribute is an extremely feared attribute. It's fine if you know it in advance, but if it's caught unexpectedly in battle, it will be fatal!

Therefore, Hawke emphasized before that he should not be injured. If there are people who use poison-type soul power among the enemies, it would be bad.

"Coming up soon!" Nancy said, looking at the people downstairs. The soldiers downstairs had finished searching the first floor and were about to go up to the second floor.

Whizzing!

Suddenly, several soldiers fell down. The other soldiers were stunned for a moment. They hurried forward, only to find that they were all dead, and all of them had hidden weapons in their throats. The leading officer was even more stunned for a moment, not seeing clearly where the hidden weapons came from. , five brothers fell.

"Hidden, everyone, be careful!" the leading officer said. In fact, he was also very scared at this time. He was killed before he saw anyone.

The officer observed from behind the pillar for a while, and with a wave of his hand, the other soldiers began to move forward slowly.

Bang bang...several sounds of falling to the ground.

Five more soldiers fell to the ground.

"Hurry up and take cover!" Just after the officer finished speaking, there were a few more sounds——

Bang bang, another soldier fell.

"What's going on? Is it witchcraft?"

"Who are you? Come out if you have the ability. Don't hide in the dark!" At this time, the officer was afraid and angry. He was afraid that there was still a figure here, and half of his people had fallen. What he was angry about was that this person was still there. The man is disgusting, he dares not show his face, and has no sense of honor at all. He has been a soldier for so many years and has never encountered such a situation.

A few more sounds in succession——

boom……

The officer saw that five more people were dead hiding under the table and behind the pillars, and now only the five people around him were left.

"I, I... let's withdraw!" a soldier said in horror.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's withdraw!" Several other soldiers also echoed.

The officer hesitated, then said, "Get out!"

Several people walked out slowly. After taking a few steps, they suddenly saw a figure flying down from upstairs. Before they could see what was going on, the remaining five people, including the officer, all fell down.

"Wow, you are really good at using this hidden weapon!" Nancy said as she went downstairs.

"Stop talking, come and help!" Reyam said while pulling out the hidden weapon from the soldier.

"Is there no poison on your hidden weapon?" Zach was a little frightened, seeing an enemy with his own eyes.

"Don't worry, without the support of my soul power, these poisons have dissipated." Reyam said after pulling out the last hidden weapon.

Nancy and Zach didn't know what to do, so they had to follow Rayam's request to move the corpses of the officers and soldiers to pull out the hidden weapons on their bodies.

They were surprised by Rayam's combat power. They had been upstairs with Rayam, and before they saw how he used the hidden weapon, the enemies were already...

"What are you doing? It's scary!"

Zach asked with a little fear as he watched Reyam playing with the corpses.

It turned out that Reyam made the corpses sit on the table and chatted, and prepared them around several tables, as if they were still alive.

"Let's go!" Rayam said, and Ma Nancy and Zach followed him to the second floor.

"Why haven't you come out for so long?" the young master in charge asked in surprise.

"Don't be impatient. Wait and see if there's any movement. It seems they haven't been found yet. Otherwise, there would have been sounds of fighting. Just wait and see!" the leader said.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was still no movement inside.

"My lord, something is wrong. Why haven't you come out for so long? Is there anything unexpected that may happen to you?" said the adjutant in charge of your lord.

"Well, Captain Levi, go over and take a look." The leader ordered another group of combat troops to go in and check.

"Yes!" Captain Levi agreed and led the people over. Captain Levi is a famous squad leader in the Star Empire. Not only is he highly capable in combat, he is also most famous for his cruel personality. Regardless of whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, almost everyone He didn't let anyone go, and in recent years he was as greedy as the Lord Steward. He was also the Lord Lord's loyal lackey, killing many innocent people, and he was also an official that everyone in Stoke City hated and feared.

Captain Levi led people into the house, and he was shocked by what he saw. He saw that the people who had just come in were sitting upright, but he knew that they were already dead.

"What's going on? How did these people die?" Captain Levi walked to the table very close to him with questions. Looking at the sitting soldiers, he wanted to find out how they were killed.

He saw clearly that there were scars on the necks of the deceased. He seemed to understand that these people were killed by hidden weapons. He thought they were sitting there doing nothing. He wanted to find out, so he supported a soldier with his hand and wanted to see. Wound.

"It's a sign of poisoning. It seems they died of poisoning."

He finally understood. He stood up and looked around. "Come on!" He waved his hand and was about to take people to the second floor.

He had just taken a step with his men when he suddenly felt his nose was warm and something was leaking out. He wiped it with his hand without looking. The other soldiers followed him quickly to the stairs. When he reached the third When he was taking six steps, something hit him in his heart. He felt that his internal organs were moving and it was very painful. The blood kept rushing to his head. He was in unbearable pain and his facial features were distorted. He took a step unconsciously in the pain.

"ah!"

As he let out a painful cry, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.

Plop——

Falling to the ground dead with a sound,

Even before he died, he didn't understand how he was poisoned, especially since his level 5 soul power hadn't yet been revealed...

The people who followed him were stunned by the sight in front of them. What was going on? They were also full of doubts. Why did Captain Levi die suddenly?

"Do you also want to be like him?" Suddenly a voice floated over, interrupting their thoughts.

The voice was very soft, but a little weird. Combined with the scene they just saw, they couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Mom!" After several screams, these people seemed to be crazy and ran out desperately.

When the officer heard the first scream, he felt a bit creepy and couldn't help but shudder.

This voice was full of pain and despair. Although he had killed countless people, this was the first time he heard such a frightening scream. It seemed that his soul was also following the voice, and a feeling suddenly emerged in his heart. A feeling of fear.

When he saw his people running madly from inside, he felt even more terrified.

He raised his head and looked around. He wanted to rely on his soldiers, but when he saw it, his soldiers seemed to be timid. Their morale suddenly dropped, and his son's face turned pale and almost lost his blood; eh.

If you don’t believe it, how powerful can it be?

The steward was emboldened. He brought with him all the officers and soldiers of Stoke City. They couldn't even deal with a few brats. The royal family would definitely be furious!

"Don't be afraid, everyone. There are so many of us. Come on, shoot arrows, light fires, and burn them to death." the leader ordered.

After hearing the order, the others were emboldened. What to be afraid of? There were so many people. The archers began to shoot arrows inside wildly. A group of soldiers kept throwing lit torches inside. In addition, there were bottles full of wine everywhere in the tavern. Liquor jars, and in an instant, a raging fire broke out on the first floor of the tavern.

In fact, when the master in charge gave the order, Hawke and others heard it upstairs, but he did not move, because if he moved at this time, he would not be shot into a sieve, so they continued to sit.

Whizzing

There is the sound of bows and arrows outside, and bows and arrows are constantly shooting in inside.

"Prepare--"

Hawke shouted.

At this time, the first floor had been engulfed in fire, and the bows and arrows outside had also stopped, because they felt that it was no longer necessary. The fire was so big and the bows and arrows were so close. It was strange that they were still alive. Even if they were alive, they could not fight against them.

Hawk nodded to everyone. Mundo, Munro, Zach, and Nancy threw out the prepared tables, door panels and other items. Then Hawk and others rushed out together, and soon they were at the door of the tavern. Open a vacancy before.

"Come on, come on, don't let anyone get away, archers, shoot quickly!" The officer ordered immediately when he saw someone coming out.

After all, they are well-trained soldiers. Although a gap was opened by Hawke and others in the initial panic, when the commander gave the order, hundreds of people quickly gathered and surrounded Hawke and others in the middle, with their spears far away. The distance advantage immediately made it impossible for Hawke and the others to break through.

Hawke looked at the soldiers who quickly surrounded him, and recalled the scene where his parents and others were besieged. Anger welled up from the bottom of his heart, "Kill, no one will be spared!"

These four words popped out of Hawke's teeth.

No one left?

Not only the soldiers, but also the leaders were shocked and felt poisonous.

But the leader soon started laughing again.

"Haha, just because you want to kill us all, the people here can drown you with just a spit of spit. Come on, kill us!"

The leader laughed, as if he was relieved.

But immediately, before Guan Ling's smile disappeared from his face, his entire expression became stiff.

He suddenly saw the people holding shields at the innermost part of the encirclement suddenly all fell down, and their expressions were extremely terrifying. The other soldiers were stunned when they saw this scene, and the officer felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet.

The colorful soul energy radiance is flashing. There are obviously many people with soul power here, but they just can't stop it? !

"kill!"

Hawk roared angrily, and the others followed Hawk into the stunned crowd. They slashed and killed, all of their moves were fatal. In just one cup of milk tea, more than a hundred people had fallen.

The crowd was suddenly in chaos, and the soldiers, including the commander, felt inexplicable fear. They began to hide everywhere, but there were too many people, and more people were killed if they crowded around. The commander did not care about the crowd, and among a few loyal followers Under the protection, he squeezed out the chaotic crowd and fled to the governor's house.

Hawke was still slaughtering here. They rushed to kill left and right. Although they were bleeding, they were all scratches by the panicked soldiers, and they were all superficial wounds.

Within an hour, hundreds of soldiers were chopped down by Hawke and others. The smell of blood wafted in the air, making people feel suffocated. Hundreds of well-trained soldiers were all killed within an hour. Being killed by a gang of teenagers, even if he stood up in a row and let them kill him, it would not be like this, let alone well-trained soldiers.

Appalling!

After killing these people, Hawke glanced in the direction where the leader was escaping and said, "Chase, don't let him go!"

Ten figures swished towards the direction of the leader, quickly chasing towards the leader's mansion.

"The leader's mansion is really impressive!" Zach sighed.

"Let's go in1" Hawke said.

Several people jumped in. Although the gate of the Governor's Mansion was tightly closed and the wall was more than two meters high, it seemed to be of no use to Hawke and others. It seemed that the wall was just to stop what the Governor called "the mob". .

Several people jumped in.

When the people in charge of the mansion saw Hawke and others entering the courtyard, they all escaped, making the courtyard look like a circus. Yes, many people ran to the door and saw that the door was closed. They were cursing the people who closed the door, these fools. , if someone comes and you think they will walk away, are you helping yourself or them?

He was scolded, but it was still more important to escape. It was really more lively than rushing to a big party.

Hawke and others ignored them and walked directly to the backyard of the governor's mansion.

"Look, the leader and his arrogant son," Nancy said.

"Stop insulting the bear. How can he compare to the bear?" Mondo said.

"There are too many guards around him!" Munro said.

"Just kill him and his son!" Reyam said.

"Well, it's up to you, let's go!" Hawke said.

Hawk flew towards the outer wall, and everyone else also flew together, including Rayam. Everyone hadn't seen clearly how Rayam killed them. They saw Rayam flying with them, and only saw two The soul light flew away in a flash, and the leader and his son fell down.

Just as they were waiting for their escape, Stoke City Defense Force Captain Lukaku arrived with his troops.

"Open the door!" a sergeant knocked on the door and shouted.

The people in charge of the mansion opened the door, and Lukaku's people rushed in immediately.

"Report, General, Master Zhang and his son were killed, and everyone else is safe."

A squad leader came to report.

Lukaku hurried to the backyard and saw the corpses of the governor and his son. Although he usually disliked their style, he felt a little sad at this time. After all, they had been friends for seven or eight years.

"Madam, please take care of yourself and take care of their funerals. Don't worry, I will definitely catch them." Lukaku stepped forward and said a knightly salute.

"Lord Lukaku, you must make the decision for us, you must avenge us!" the leader's wife cried.

"Don't worry, I will definitely catch them." As soon as Lukaku finished speaking, he saw a squad leader running over in a panic.

"General, general...general...quick, quick, quick...go to the front of the tavern and take a look. Over there...over there, many brothers have died." The team leader said in a panic.

"What, madam, I will leave you a team of people to help you. If anything happens, you can come to me directly." Lukaku said to the leader's wife.

"You have a team of people here to protect and lead my family. The rest of you are following me." Lukaku said and ran out quickly.

"Ah! Who did this?"

Lukaku came over and asked in surprise when he saw the corpses on the ground, and then shouted to the messenger beside him, "Come here, the whole city is under martial law, I must catch them."

"Whoosh!"

A hidden weapon was fired with a letter. Lukaku felt something coming, so he caught it, clamped the hidden weapon firmly, and opened the letter.

Lord City Defense, there is no need to investigate. We did it. When you see this letter, we have already left the city. We only killed the people who deserved to be killed. In fact, I hope you and the leader are not the same person. Please forgive me for now. Your life.

——Under the banner of "Wind Speedy" Hawksman, Zach, Mondo, Munro, Tina, Liya, Rayam, Lucio, Jessela, and Nancy pay their respects.

Arrogant!

This is the arrogance of thugs!

Lawless arrogance!

Lukaku was furious and immediately asked his men to ask around to find out that it was indeed these people who did it. Although Lukaku was angry, he had no choice but to ask his men to find people who had seen them to take portraits and report the matter together. Declare the imperial capital.

The reputation of "Quick Hand of the Wind" Hawke and others spread throughout the empire because of this incident, including their portraits. Everyone knew that they were powerful in battle and the soul power they used was also somewhat strange.

What's more, ten people killed hundreds of people in a short period of time, and he only suffered a few superficial injuries. Everyone knew that they were bloody, but hundreds of people died tragically, leaving no one alive, and everyone knew that they only killed those who deserved it. People who kill and people who want to kill them.

There are two opinions in the imperial capital, one thinks they are just and the other thinks they are very evil.

Most of the people who agree with him are civilians and people at the bottom of society, and of course there are also a small number of soldiers.

The opponents are mostly powerful people.
