"Go to hell, little bug, I'm going to smash you into meat paste!" The rhino man roared, swinging a mace thicker than an adult's.
The weapon whistled through the air, as if tearing the air itself.
Every step it took shook the ground as it rushed towards Aisilia.
Faced with this behemoth, Aisilia not only did not retreat, but instead showed an excited smile.
"Finally, a decent guy is here. Let me test your skills!" There was unconcealable anticipation in her voice.
She raised her hand to signal the dog-eared soldiers behind her not to shoot, and went forward alone with a huge hammer in her hand.
Under the moonlight, it was an extremely asymmetrical picture: a petite girl facing a huge monster that could easily crush her.
But there was no fear in Aisilia's eyes. Instead, there was a gleam of excitement that only a warrior could have.
Her hammer gleamed coldly in the moonlight, as if anticipating the impending collision.
"boom!"
Sparks flew amidst the deafening collision.
Everyone held their breath, thinking that in the next second they would see Aisilia being crushed by this terrifying force.
However, the expected scene did not occur.
An expression of disbelief suddenly crossed the Rhino's ferocious face. It felt as if its mace had struck a mountain. An unimaginable force coursed through the weapon, numbing its palm.
"How is this possible?!" The rhino man widened his bloodshot eyes.
A teasing smile appeared on Aisilia's lips. "Is that all the strength you have? Then it's my turn next!"
Her slender arms suddenly burst out with amazing strength, and the hammer swept out with unstoppable force.
The rhino man hurriedly raised his mace to block, but the result of the collision shocked him even more - the mace broke with a sound, and fragments flew everywhere!
"No...this is impossible!" The rhino man staggered back, the arrogance in his eyes replaced by deep fear.
But Aisilia didn't give it time to think. Her petite figure leaped up, and the hammer drew a graceful arc in the air.
In the moonlight, her golden ponytails fluttered in the wind, like a ballerina dancing gracefully on the stage.
"boom!"
The hammer smashed heavily into the rhino's chest, instantly denting the thick armor. The behemoth flew out like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into the mansion wall.
With a "crack", spider-web-like cracks appeared on the wall.
The rhino slid to the ground, his eyes glazed over, blood oozing from his mouth. His prideful brute force was a joke in front of Aisilia.
"You...what kind of monster are you..." It muttered to itself with its last bit of strength, and then completely lost consciousness.
Aisilia landed lightly and casually carried the hammer on her shoulder, as if she had just done something insignificant.
She turned and looked at Zhang Luan in the distance, revealing a bright smile: "Master, we've finished cleaning up here!"
Everyone present, including the dog-eared girl team, the orcs hiding in the dark, and the magician were stunned.
Who would have thought that this petite and cute girl actually possessed such terrifying powers?
After seeing this scene, the enemies who were still resisting dropped their weapons and surrendered.
"Very good. From now on, I will take over Durant Mansion. I declare that all the slaves here are my slaves, and all the properties are my private property!" Zhang Luan rode his horse into Durant's mansion and said loudly.
Aisilia led the soldiers to act in an orderly manner.
The surrendered orc warriors were ordered to lay down their weapons, the magicians' staffs were confiscated, and the archers' quivers were removed.
They were all forced to kneel in the moonlit courtyard with their heads in their hands.
At this moment, a wonderful scene began to unfold throughout the mansion.
Many beast-eared slaves emerged from the kitchen, stables, gardens, basements, and even the nobles' bedrooms.
They carefully took off the collars hanging around their necks. Some were fox girls wearing tattered maid outfits; some were strong men from the ox horn tribe, still smelling of hay from the stable; and some were rabbit children, their thin bodies covered with traces of labor.
In fact, when Durant died, these collars had already lost their magic power, but when these slaves saw that there were still orc guards outside, they continued to wear the collars that had lost their magic power, waiting for their fate to change.
"What? Lord Durant...is dead?!"
Reese, who was hiding in the corner, noticed the abnormality in front of him.
He knew very well what the situation before him meant - the slave contracts engraved on those magic collars would only be automatically terminated upon the death of the slave owner.
"Are you willing to be my slaves?" Zhang Luan's voice echoed in the moonlight.
He rode on his horse, looking down at the beast-eared people gathered in the yard.
"Greetings to the new master!" A neat voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of kneeling one after another.
They lowered their heads and drooped their ears, as if they had accepted this cruel reality.
As soon as the old collar was removed, a new slavery would begin. For them, this was just a change of masters.
Zhang Luan took out boxes of brand new collars from his space ring.
"Put new collars on them!" he ordered.
Aisilia brought a few dog-eared female soldiers and began to put collars on these animal-eared people one by one.
While she was working, she softly comforted her frightened compatriots: "Don't be afraid, the master is actually a very good person." She smiled and showed the collar around her neck, trying to reassure them.
But these words didn't seem to have much effect.
The beast-eared people just lowered their heads in silence, allowing the new collars to be buckled around their necks.
In their view, they are just objects waiting to be distributed, and their fate probably won’t change much even if they change their owners.
Just this
Chapter 265
The new master is obviously much more powerful than Durant, which means he may have to spend his whole life in his slavery.
"Now, collect all the valuable things in the house!" Zhang Luan's order sounded again.
So, these slaves who had just put on new collars began to get busy in the mansion.
They are very familiar with everything here - every secret compartment, every secret room, and every precious treasure are in their hands.
Gold, silver and jewelry were carried out in piles, exquisite magic equipment was carefully put away, materials for various rare monsters were neatly classified, and precious magic scrolls were carefully wrapped.
The wealth accumulated under Durant's rule soon filled the entire courtyard.
The Beast-Eared Tribe came and went, carrying these priceless treasures to Zhang Luan.
They moved swiftly but remained silent.
Its ears twitched from time to time, as if listening for any commands its new owner might give.
Zhang Luan watched all this with satisfaction and continued to put these valuables into the space ring.
As the night deepened, Zhang Luan was preparing to escort the surrendered orcs back to the castle.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light bloomed in the center of the courtyard.
Complex magical patterns emerged on the ground, interweaving into a sophisticated space teleportation array.
Mysterious runes flickered with the fluctuations of energy, illuminating the entire courtyard like daylight.
The light in the center of the magic circle gradually condensed, revealing two figures.
Walking in front was a bloated middle-aged man wearing an expensive robe embroidered with gold thread and various noble medals hanging on his chest.
There was a hint of arrogance on that round face, and his eyes revealed disdain for everything around him.
Behind him, a burly man nearly two meters tall stood like a small mountain.
The silver heavy armor gleamed coldly in the moonlight, each plate meticulously polished, a testament to his extraordinary status. His presence gave off an invisible sense of oppression, as if he was always ready to clear any obstacles for his master.
"Sir! You are finally here!" An excited voice broke the silence of the courtyard.
Reese rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards the middle-aged man as if he had seen a life-saving straw, his harsh face full of joy and expectation.
The middle-aged man frowned, his thick nostrils twitched slightly, and then he revealed an expression of disgust.
"Reese puppy? What's going on here? Hey, what a pungent smell, what are you doing?" He covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief embroidered with gold thread and looked around with disgust.
Reese immediately put on a pitiful look and prostrated himself on the ground.
Chapter 276 Important Chips
Reese rocked back and forth like a puppy trying to please its master, his voice tinged with tears. "Woof woof, Your Highness, the Most Honorable Stanzo, Lord Durant was killed by this new city lord! He also stole all the property and slaves here!"
Zhang Luan frowned slightly as he looked at the teleportation array that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What's going on?" He tilted his head and asked Aisilia beside him in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
Aisilia approached Zhang Luan's horse and explained quickly in a low voice, "Stanso is a prince, the king's second son. He has a perverse personality and likes to turn other people into dogs for his amusement. Maybe he is the one backing Durant, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant!" There was a hint of disgust in her voice, and her ears trembled slightly because of nervousness.
Zhang Luan shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the magic circle flashing with blue light.
"I'm not asking that. I'm asking why they can use the portal. When we came here before, didn't they say that there was magical interference and the portal couldn't be used?"
Aisilia quickly glanced at the complex magical patterns on the ground, and then she suddenly understood.
"This magic circle is different from ordinary teleportation circles," she said, her voice filled with professional confidence. "This is a magician with spatial magic abilities. Every time they travel a certain distance, they carve a magic circle, creating a teleportation relay effect. This method can only transport a very small number of people, and is generally only used by high-level messengers."
She paused and added, "But since magical crows can fly long distances to deliver messages, messengers have become rare!"
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Luan nodded in sudden realization, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Zhang Luan? Is this the new mayor of Yellen City?" Stanso's voice was lazily and contemptuously voiced.
His slightly cloudy eyes raised slightly, and his gaze wandered over Zhang Luan as if he was appreciating goods.
In the moonlight, a faint smile appeared on his round face, but no warmth could be felt.
Zhang Luan stared silently at the prince. He could sense contempt in his eyes, but more of a pampered arrogance.
After a moment's silence, he jumped off the horse lightly, his boots making a slight sound on the gravel ground.
Then he bowed slightly.
This action not only shows basic respect for the royal family, but also maintains the composure that a new noble should have.
Now is not the time to turn against each other. If we offend him now, it means we will be forced to stand on the side of the Lizard Country.
This would cause him to lose the initiative in the subsequent negotiations with Saratos. Instead of passively becoming an ally of the Lizard Kingdom, it would be better to keep more options.
This prince might be able to add some chips to his future independence cause.
"Yes, I am Zhang Luan, Your Highness!" Zhang Luan bowed slightly, maintaining just the right etiquette. His movements were elegant and calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and showed due respect for the royal family.
Behind him, Aisilia immediately knelt on one knee, her silver armor glowing softly in the moonlight.
This standard etiquette of the Golden Griffin Knights is a habit that has been ingrained in her bones since she was a child.
However, she did not know at this time that not long ago, the royal family she once served had brutally suppressed the entire Golden Griffin Knights in the name of treason.
"No need for formality!" Stanzo waved his hand lazily, the hand holding the handkerchief never leaving his nose.
His eyes swept over the group of dog-eared warriors in strange uniforms behind Zhang Luan, and the contempt in his eyes became even greater.
In his opinion, this was simply a joke - those dog-eared girls that even noble nobles disdained to drive were actually regarded as soldiers?
There are so many strong Ox-Horn and Sheep-Horn tribesmen who can be recruited, but the taste of this new city lord is really puzzling.
Just as Stansor was about to turn around and talk to Reese, his eyes suddenly fixed on Aisilia.
That gleaming silver armor, that unique emblem, that familiar kneeling posture...
Although he did not recognize every member of the Golden Griffin Knights, these details seemed unusually familiar to him.
"You..." Just as Stanso was about to say something, Zhang Luan interrupted him sharply.
His voice was calm and magnetic. "What does Your Highness want? Slaves or treasure? Durant violated the laws of the Empire and has been executed by me. As the city lord, I am here to receive his stolen goods!"
Zhang Luan was not worried that Stanso would recognize Aisilia's identity.
The worst that could happen is a falling out. He had already made plans for the worst.
But what he was really worried about was another more cruel truth - the demise of the Golden Griffin Knights.
Aisilia is still faithfully carrying out the orders of the empire. If she knew that her sister had been brutally murdered, this sudden blow would probably make her collapse.
Moreover, Zhang Luan always had a premonition that the leader of the most powerful Golden Griffin Knights, who was also Aisilia's sister, should not be dead!
