Ralph was not able to find Captain Rox Paladin. When he ran to the stronghold angrily to complain, he was told that Captain Rox Paladin had left the stronghold and went to the portal in the rear. He didn't know what he was doing.

"gone?"

"Yes, Viscount Ralph."

Faced with Ralph's angry inquiry, Liam also had a frown on his face. After knowing that he could not stop Zhan, Liam had no choice but to run to Captain Rox Paladin to complain. In fact,

He didn't know what to do. This matter was such a big deal. If it reached the ears of Archbishop Bosen in the rear, it would probably cause trouble again. But what can the temple do?

But what made Liam feel strange was that after listening to his report, Lord Rocks was not angry. On the contrary, he thought for a moment in a daze, and then gave himself an inexplicable answer.

"Wait a minute."

Wait? Wait what the hell?

I have to admit that Liam has absolutely no idea what Lord Paladin Rox is thinking. In his opinion, this matter should be resolved immediately. Otherwise, if those nobles continue to cause trouble, Zhan will

If they refuse to give in, then the two sides are really on the verge of a fight. Only God knows what the situation will be like. But instead of quickly solving the problem, Captain Rocks, the Holy Knight, looks like he is planning to drink tea and watch a show. This is going to happen.

What's going on?

But before Liam could say anything else, Rocks actually turned around and left, saying that he had something to ask Archbishop Boson and asked him to temporarily manage the stronghold. This gave Liam a real headache. This time it was good, Rocks was on the front foot.

As soon as he left, these nobles came to look for trouble...Liam even wondered if Master Rocks had just figured it out and ran away in advance.

"Leave? Forget it, who is in charge of the current stronghold?"

"According to the order of Lord Paladin Rox, I will be responsible for managing it for the time being."

"very good!"

Upon hearing Liam's answer, Viscount Ralph nodded arrogantly, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Liam.

"I think you also know that a lowly down-and-out nobleman killed my followers in the stronghold before. Not only that, he also attacked my personal guards! These things all happened in the stronghold, you should know it, right?

.Now, in the name of the Viscount, I order you to immediately send someone to arrest that guy and his entourage to see me, do you hear me!?"

Hearing this, Liam also looked gloomy. Damn, I am from the temple, and I am not in the same group as the Valkyrie Principality. After all, I am also a paladin. You, a viscount, came here and pointed fingers in the temple.

Still want to command the Paladins? The Paladins are not the dogs you raise. What do we think of the Temple of the God of War?!

"I'm sorry, Viscount Ralph. I only manage the stronghold temporarily on behalf of Lord Locks, and I don't have the authority to mobilize the temple's troops. The troops currently defending the stronghold are not enough, and we don't have the extra manpower to do this. We should wait for Locks.

Let’s talk about it when Mr. Si comes back.”

Liam was angry inside, so his words were naturally tough. He was a paladin from the Temple of the God of War, not from the Valkyrie Principality. He usually didn't provoke these nobles just because he didn't want to get into trouble, and he didn't really have anything to do with them.

What kind of relationship is there between superior and subordinate? If I give you face but you don’t want it, then don’t blame me for slapping you in the face with the iron pot.

"A noble was threatened in the stronghold. Is this a small matter?"

Upon hearing this, Ralph's eyes suddenly widened and he glared at Liam.

"You have to know what the consequences will be if I report this matter. I, Viscount Ralph's entourage, was killed in the stronghold of the Temple Church, but the Temple ignored it! Do you just

Haven’t you thought about the consequences?”

Hearing this, Liam also looked gloomy. In the past, he might have had to carefully consider the relationship between the Temple of the God of War and the Principality of Valkyrie. But now, with the Principality of Valkyrie turning to other gods, even

They began to secretly suppress the God of War Temple, and there was no need to consider the relationship between the two parties at all.

"I'm very sorry, but in fact we are indeed short of manpower. You also know that even before we cleaned up the monsters around the stronghold, we hired mercenaries to do it..."

Of course Liam won't be stupid enough to do what Ralph says. What's so great about you as a viscount? You and I are not in the same system. Let alone a viscount, we are an earl. When the marquis comes, you can give him or her face.

Two things to say! Thinking of this, Liam also had to bear it. No matter what Viscount Ralph said, he just said that. He has no one or power. He is currently just an agent, even if it is a big one.

We have to wait until the Paladin of Rocks comes back to discuss the matter. Otherwise, even if the end of the world comes, I will not have the right to make any decisions.

Meeting such a tough guy like Liam made Ralph very angry. There were a few times when he even wanted to get rid of this blind paladin. But luckily Ralph didn't.

He was so stupid. Seeing that Liam refused to agree, he had no choice but to say a few harsh words and angrily walked out of the stronghold.

"These idiot paladins!"

After walking out of the stronghold, Ralph was still angry. If it were another temple, he might have said something nice and angrily to the other party. But what is the God of War Temple? They are not completely finished yet.

They are lucky that they dare to show off to themselves! Don't they know that without the support of the Valkyrie Principality, their ruined temple will be doomed?

"What a bunch of bastards! It makes no sense. These guys pretend to be blind when it's obvious. These believers are all idiots. I don't think the God of War is much better. No wonder he was killed by the demons. Huh! A true god,

What a joke!"

"Sir, please don't say this nonsense."

Hearing this, Cotton turned pale with fright and looked to the side. Fortunately, no one was around, and no one heard his complaints. You must know that although the God of War Maka has fallen, he

After all, you are one of the Nine Saints. Insulting the gods is a serious crime. If the Paladin hears it and directly accuses you of being a heretic, prepare to die!

"I know!"

Hearing Cotton's words, Ralph waved his hand unhappily.

"But what should we do now?"

"this……………"

Facing Ralph's inquiry, Cotton pondered for a moment. Originally, he wanted to tie the temples together and then find trouble with Zhan. No matter how bold Zhan was, he probably would not dare to take action against the temple. But.

Unexpectedly, Rocks actually ran away, leaving only Liam. Now things were much more troublesome... But... thinking of this, Cotton's eyes lit up. Soon after, he saw someone in front of him.

A warm smile appeared on his face again.

"Sir Ralph, what Liam Paladin said just now gave us a wake-up call."

"oh?"

"It's like this. Do you still remember that when we went to clean up the area around the Underdark, the temple recruited us and those mercenaries because of insufficient manpower? We can also do this. How about this, what do you think? Let's say

Go and put a high price on Zhan En's head. As long as someone can kill him or capture the two ladies beside him, he can get a generous reward. These mercenaries are all for this job. For these rewards, they will definitely

Let’s go find trouble for that guy. When the time comes, it’s easy to dodge open fire and hard to defend against hidden attacks, so we’ll have to see how long he can hold on!”

This is a good idea.

Hearing Cotton's words, Ralph's eyes flashed with pride, and then he nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I'll leave this to you."

As a down-and-out nobleman, Cotton still had some energy in the stronghold. Thanks to his secret efforts, soon, the mercenaries in the stronghold knew that Viscount Ralph had issued a large reward.

Things. I have to admit that this Ralph's move is still very outstanding. If someone can kill Zhan, then he can get a bounty of one thousand gold coins. And if he can be captured alive, the bounty will be even more.

As much as three thousand. And if the two ladies around Zhan can be captured, the bounty will naturally not be small. If Elise is captured, there will be a bounty of five hundred gold coins. Even Bix,

As long as they can be caught back, there will also be a reward of three hundred gold coins.

This news quickly attracted the attention of the mercenaries. Most of the mercenaries who came to the Underdark Region came for money, and the current reward amount was not low. Although three thousand gold coins was a small amount of money for those nobles,

But for ordinary people, it is enough for them to live a prosperous life!

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Zhan En's reputation is very great, and his achievements are obvious to all. But mercenaries are originally in the industry of gambling with their lives, not to mention the monsters in the dark area.

It's difficult to deal with, but Zhan is also a human being after all. Human beings... Isn't it much easier to deal with humans than to fight monsters?

And even if you can't kill Zhan, if you can kidnap Bix and Elise, you can still get a lot of money! Although it is a little less, for those mercenaries, even three hundred gold coins

, enough to make them take risks.

But these mercenaries are not fools. Zhan defeated a bunch of Viscount Ralph's elite soldiers before, and his ruthless methods were obvious to everyone. If they come to them rashly, the end may be even more miserable.

.So they patiently lurked in the dark shadows, waiting for the opportunity to come.
