Chapter 463 The Duke of Dark Crow
The next evening, at Wujian Fortress.

The wind was howling, blowing up clouds of dust. The fortress gate was half-closed and the interior was in ruins. The barracks that were once neatly arranged were now mostly collapsed and overgrown with weeds.

The once bustling construction area now has hideous cracks on the ground. The thorn flagpole has long been broken and is half buried in the dust. The watchtower is tilted and covered with cracks. The cold wind blows straight in from the city gate and sweeps through the dilapidated fortress.

In the castle, Duke Merrick held a wine glass and tasted the fresh blood in it from time to time.

Since he was promoted to a hero less than half a year ago, among his relatives, only the deputy warden is at the peak of the gold level.

Now that the deputy warden has died, the situation has become even worse.

But at this moment, Duke Merrick was all smiles.

Within sight, five elite divisions are entering the fortress, each with a million troops, led by a marquis of the pinnacle level, and fully equipped with officers and supplies at all levels.

Not only that, the leader of this huge army is the long-famous Duke of Dark Crow, who has been promoted to a hero for a hundred years.

“Ha ha ha ha……”

Duke Merrick laughed.

He has mortgaged the Wujian Fortress to Prince of Thorns, thereby obtaining the assistance of five divisions and a duke. This battle of Dali will be the beginning of his journey towards hegemony.

The Infernal Fortress has the characteristics of a forbidden space and its value far exceeds that of ordinary fortresses.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Kamishiro Mirai walked into the castle room with her head lowered, her hands folded in front of her, feeling uneasy.

Duke Merrick’s eyes were quite kind.

A group of people were killed by the plague, a group of people were injured, killed or missing during the attack on Siming City, and another group of people escaped secretly. Now the remaining relatives are extremely scarce.

“I’m glad you’re back. What’s wrong?” Duke Merrick asked with a smile.

Kamishiro Mirai always felt that the Duke’s mental state was a little abnormal, but when she thought about how she was actually helpless, she no longer hesitated and said, “My Lord Duke, on the way back to the fortress, I was captured by the savage tribe of the Undying Forest. A kind-hearted man rescued me and said that he had a lot of savages and was planning to sell them.”

“Hehe.” Duke Merick sneered a few times, “It seems that there are quite a few vultures that have smelled rotten meat recently. They all want to come to my Infernal Fortress to take a few bites. Thousands or tens of thousands? Tell me about it.”

“One million four hundred and seventy thousand, there is no gold rank, and as for the backbone of the silver rank, not a single one is left behind.”

“Hiss~”

Duke Merrick leaned back slightly, and immediately began to ponder patiently. In fact, he was not without concerns about the foreign aid corps. Without the direct lineage to build a framework, these foreign aids might rely on the Duke of Dark Crow to disobey his orders.

There are only a few hundred thousand direct descendants of the clan left, which is a very dangerous number. It is actually necessary to transform the savages into fighting blood slaves to enhance the momentum at present.

Duke Merrick asked coldly: “Where is the other party?”

Kamishiro Mirai panicked and said, “The other party is also a duke, but I don’t know where he came from.”

Duke Merrick narrowed his eyes. That made sense. To lead such a large group of savages out of the Undying Forest, the other party must have the power to ignore multiple great chiefs.

“Troops, troops, troops…”

Duke Merrick’s face showed a hint of madness, and he laughed, “Haha, in that case, you take my Thorn Contract and reply, two million source gold, and mortgage the Thorn Sword. Ask him to keep it carefully. One day, I will redeem it.”

Shen Dai Mirai was shocked. The Sword of Thorns was the Duke’s epic main weapon, and now even this had been mortgaged. She didn’t dare to think about what would happen to her in the future.

……

Outside the Fortress of Infernal Affairs.

The gray warhorse stood quietly on the grass. Because its essence was a body of skills and energy, it did not need to eat or rest. Bang!
The two wine jugs clinked together.

Yu Jianyue took a few big gulps from the pile of wine jugs. He was so drunk that he could hardly open his eyes.

“Supreme Dragon Blood Wine…”

“It’s so filling… it’s great.”

“Even if you have bad intentions, I will admit it.”

“The prerequisite is to dispel the fog.”

“Look directly at me!!”

Jiang He was speechless. If he was just having a drink, the other party seemed to be drunk. However, as a drinking buddy, he was still qualified. At least he didn’t say he couldn’t drink.

The time it takes to use a lemon mosquito coil has passed.

At the end of my sight, Kamiyo Mirai trotted towards me.

“Senior, the Duke’s Thorn Blood Pact.”

Jiang He took it and looked at it carefully. This thing was obviously a derivative product of the mythical form, and had the ability to force a contract at the cost of death. Duke Merrick planned to mortgage the Sword of Thorns and only spend two million source gold to buy all the savages.

Mortgage means that you cannot regret it when the other party is able to redeem it. The Blood Pact of Thorns is an epic status and also has an effect on the Duke.

“This guy must have gone crazy.” Jiang He thought to himself.

If the Infernal Fortress is the newly bought house of Duke Merrick, and the deputy warden is his right-hand man, then losing both is indeed a major blow. However, in the extraordinary field, the most important thing should be one’s own strength.

“Unless there is something wrong with Merrick’s strength, he would probably value external objects so much.”

Jiang He frowned secretly. This was just groundless speculation. He had no idea about the inside story of the Winter War or the truth of the Silhouette Project. He only knew that Merrick was promoted in that war.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang He cut his fingertips after checking and signed the Blood Contract of Thorns. When the Duke’s blood and the aura of the mythical form merged, the Blood Contract turned into light spots and entered his body, like thorn seeds, deeply buried in his blood.

Jiang He knew without thinking that in this theoretically fair contract, Duke Merrick must have left loopholes for himself, but it didn’t matter, because in the end the time ring could directly destroy the effect of the blood contract.

The transaction began, and more than one million savages walked out of the territory gate. In the direction of Wujian Fortress, the foreign aid division came to escort them.

Kamiyo Mirai made a round trip and brought the Sword of Thorns and two huge wooden boxes.

In the Duke’s castle, Merrick looked out from afar until he saw the vague mythical form of the trader when he signed the contract. Only then did he completely give up the idea of ​​ambush him directly.

In the room, an old duchess paced slowly. She looked around at the cans of blood honey on the cabinet and sneered at these inferior collections.

“Wuhe, this place is worse than the bird’s nest I prepared for you.”

The Duke of Dark Crow spoke as if no one was around, not caring at all about what the master here thought.

Wuhe also didn’t care about the old woman’s opinion. He stared blankly into the distance. If his partner’s perception was correct, that should be the boss.

“Duke, I want to go out for a couple of laps.”

“No, you have to stay with me. Besides, didn’t you fly several laps last week?”

Wuhe gritted his teeth secretly. The boss would never restrict his freedom. When the boss was promoted to a hero, he would definitely invite him over to beat to death this guy who should have been buried long ago.

“Ha ha ha, that’s right.”

The Duke of Dark Crow smiled with relief, a natural earl-level Blood Crow was rare in the world, and he was well-behaved and sensible, which was worthy of her careful care.
