Chapter 214 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
In the dark jungle, a person is waiting anxiously.
His name is Hank. He was originally just a civilian. He felt that the best choice he had made in his life was to join the resistance before it was established.
As one of the elders, even though he did not have much talent, he still managed to get a good position based on his qualifications.
He came from a humble background, but suddenly became the manager of dozens of people. Naturally, he was full of ambition and ambition, and became lustful.
He began to use his power to bully others, going to his companions' homes during the day and knocking on widows' doors at night to collect money.
He was very happy on such days.
But things changed after the brave man came. He no longer valued qualifications, but only valued abilities and achievements. As a result, he, who had done nothing, was demoted overnight.
Hank was furious. How could he accept that such a wonderful life was gone after only a few years of enjoyment? Moreover, he had lost his status. His former subordinates all came to cause trouble for him, and even the widow wouldn't let him have sex with her.
Hank was filled with anger and hated the brave man named Ash. He wanted to teach him and them a lesson!
"Cuckoo cuckoo!"
When two birds chirped, Hank was immediately overjoyed and blew a short whistle.
Soon, a scout in black appeared in front of Hank. He looked at Hank and asked, "You want to provide information?"
"Yes!" Hank nodded and handed a paper tube to the scout.
The scout did not rush to open it, but asked: "Why did you betray the Mass Resistance?"
"They were the ones who betrayed me first!" Hank said indignantly, "I worked hard for them for so many years, but just because the brave man took one look at me and thought I didn't do anything, he directly dismissed me!"
"Wait, a hero?" The scout was stunned. "Are you sure you are a real hero, not just one you call yourself?"
"It should be true. His name is Ash, the Pillar Hero." Hank said.
The Pillar Hero, Ash? The scout was stunned. As a regular army, their intelligence system must be perfect. The amount and accuracy of information collected are far higher than that of the half-baked rebels.
Therefore, even though they were far away in the Central Region, they were the first to receive the news of the simultaneous appearance of the Pillar Hero and the Holy Winged Hero.
In particular, the Pillar Hero broke history and became the number one hero.
The scout's face immediately became serious. If the Pillar Heroes got involved, it would be a very serious matter.
Because of the widely circulated legends of heroes, heroes naturally represent justice among the people.
When a brave man joins the Mass Resistance, it endows the Mass Resistance with justice, giving the Mass Resistance a higher possibility, and those potential rebels may rebel because of this.
Things are going big!
The scout felt that even as a small pawn he could feel the seriousness of the matter, let alone those big shots.
"Does this intelligence contain any information about the brave man?" the scout asked Hank.
Hank was stunned and nodded: "Yes, yes."
Looking at Hank nodding and bowing, the scout showed a trace of contempt in his eyes. Traitors are looked down upon everywhere.
The scout collected the information and asked, "What is your reward?"
"I don't ask for much, just give me a knighthood!" Hank's eyes showed greed and yearning.
"Knighthood, yes, sure." The scout nodded. The information about the hero alone was enough to earn him a knighthood. "Turn your head."
Hank instinctively did as he was told, but halfway through the turn he realized something was wrong.
But it's too late.
Puff! The sharp blade sank into the flesh, and Hank felt a pain in his neck, and then his vision rolled. Hank wanted to ask why, but he obviously couldn't speak without vocal cords. He stared with wide eyes, watching the scout in front of him slowly put away the knife until his vision fell into darkness.
"I'm sorry, but this information is only enough for one person to get the title." The scout looked at Hank's head and said in a cold tone.
He took out a portion of corpse-dissolving water and sprinkled it on Hank.
Phew! Phew!
A faint black smoke rose, and Hank's body quickly disappeared, completely blending into the earth.
After taking care of the situation, the scout couldn't help but whistle and leave, but the moment he turned around, his body froze, because a man with golden scales on his forehead was looking at him silently.
The man had a plain face and looked like a farmer. In fact, he used to be a farmer.
Without hesitation, the scout kicked his legs and fled to the side.
Even a scout like him didn't detect the breath, so you can imagine how strong this farmer's stealth ability is. Moreover, when facing him, the scout felt frightened, as if he was facing a giant dragon.
Brave?
As soon as this thought came to the scout's mind, a big hand covered his face.
Boom!
After one sound, the scout was plunged into darkness.
The man let go expressionlessly. He used to be an ordinary farmer who couldn't even protect his wife and children, but now, he is the Golden Scale Guard of the Brave Lord!
The man's five fingers sharpened as he stabbed the scout's body with his right hand. The body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was completely integrated into the man's body.
The use of activated armor is not without consumption, especially when it suddenly increases the low strength by hundreds or even thousands of times, so each use will consume the user's essence.
Fortunately, this was not a big problem for Ash. He handed over the refining authority of [Ashura] to the Golden Scale Guard through [Royal Power].
Just use it to kill a few people to replenish your energy, and you can also strengthen the level of the Golden Scale Guards at the same time. The excess can be fed back to yourself, killing three birds with one stone.
In a room, Ash listened to the report from the Golden Scale Guard and nodded: "Well, that's it."
The Golden Scale Guards retreated immediately without asking why.
They were given living armor and were also instructed to be absolutely loyal to Ash.
Ash doesn't want any of his subordinates to be disloyal.
"As expected, when reforms are introduced, all kinds of evil will emerge."
Ash rubbed his brows. Even he felt a bit of a headache dealing with and implementing the system these days. After all, he had no relevant experience, only the experience of his predecessors.
Fortunately, it is enough to set up the general framework. After all, this is an era where force is supreme. As long as a person's force is strong enough, no matter how unreasonable the system is, it can be implemented, or the people below will implement it reasonably on their own.
"But the news of my coming will soon be out of the question."
Ash drummed his fingers on the table. Although he had instructed Lanfeng to try their best to conceal his existence, these few days should be their limit.
After all, the roots are rotten, and I'm afraid those high-level officials have already planted people from the Nordel Empire.
"Forget it, I'll just hold on for as long as I can."
Ash didn't care too much about this matter. After all, although the Nordel Empire was powerful, it was not an existence that he could not destroy on his own.
If it weren't for the sake of order after the destruction, he wouldn't bother developing his power now.
