Chapter 274 The Ten Ruthless Men!
The black sword descended, and the immense pressure forced Maverick Flitwick to his knees.
In his panic, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and held it horizontally above his head to block.
A black line streaked across the air, and the long sword broke into two.
It could not block the blade of the cold sword at all.
A world-shocking blade descended!
Maverick’s miserable shriek rang out. “Ah!”
An arm was sent flying.
Along with the boiling hot blood that splashed across the sky.
Hatcher Murphy’s eyes narrowed as a bright light flashed through them. He knew that his commander had shown mercy.
If not, this strike would have taken Maverick’s life!
It would have definitely taken his head, not chop off his arm.
Maverick’s right arm was cut off, and he was in so much pain that he was in agony. He knelt on the ground, and a seven-meter-long gash appeared beside him.
This power terrified Maverick.
A hint of resentment was deeply hidden in his eyes.
Cripple him with one slash!
Chop off his arm!
“Thank you for sparing my life, Lord Northern King!” Maverick said hoarsely.
“I took your arm as a punishment. I don’t care about a mere Flitwick family. Whoever dares to violate the ironclad law of Hansworth will be killed without mercy!”
Braydon Neal said, then threw the cold sword to Hatcher and left the Preston mountains.
On the way back.
“Commander, why didn’t you kill him?”
Hatcher was a little surprised.
Logan Hall was also somewhat puzzled.
With King Braydon’s killing style, there was no reason for him to spare Maverick’s life.
“I want to kill his whole family!”
Braydon’s handsome face revealed a faint smile.
This caused Logan’s scalp to go numb.
As expected, this ruthless person had other ideas.
Cutting off Maverick’s arm was equivalent to crippling him.
Braydon had never put the so-called Flitwick family in his eyes.
Back then, he had said that he would kill all the powerful families in the world.
None of these ancient forces were good.
If the Ludwig army incident had something to do with the powerful families…
That would be the day when Braydon would declare war on all the powerful families.
It would also be time to move the northern army south!
Now that Braydon had let Maverick go and crippled his arm, Maverick would definitely hate him and take revenge if he had the chance.
How could the Flitwick family take the humiliation!
The day they took action would be the day Braydon destroyed the Flitwick family.
The enmity between Braydon and the powerful families could not be explained in a few words. Moreover, he could not kill them for no reason. He needed a reason!
A cause that could flatten the Flitwick family.
“Send someone to keep an eye on the Flitwick family,” Braydon said calmly. “Inform me if there are any unusual movements.
I’llpersonally pay a visit.”
“Yes, sir!”
Hatcher lowered his head and accepted the order.
He knew that the visit Braydon was talking about was probably to kill the Flitwick family! At the same time, he wanted to see if he could find any clues from the Flitwick family about who had harmed the Ludwig army. After all, the various powerful families had close ties with each other.
Braydon had always suspected that the Ludwig army’s massacre had something to do with the powerful families.
After settling the matter, Hatcher did not leave.
Moreover, he had brought 8,000 imperial guards from the Central Plains.
A mere family of the Preston mountains was not worth Hatcher bringing so many black-robed guards.
Even if there was an A-class request for help, Hatcher only needed to bring three to five hundred guards.
Yet, he brought all his men with him.
Braydon sensed that Hatcher had come to Preston not just for the matter of the Preston mountains.
“Tell me, what else is there?” Braydon was walking on a mountain path.
The black-robed guards hid in the dark and quickly swept through the forest, clearing out the obstacles in the dark and clearing this area. “I received three secret orders,” Hatcher said solemnly. “The first is from the capital garrison. Brother Westley asked me to inform you that the western army has been secretly mobilized. Their intentions are unknown!”
“The western army?”
Braydon’s thin lips moved slightly, and his deep eyes revealed a hint of a smile. There was something else behind that smile!
The 300,000 elites of the western army were brave and good at fighting. They had been stationed in the Sayman mountain range for many years to guard the country gate and guard against strong enemies outside the borders. Their combat strength was extremely strong!
He did not expect the western army to be mobilized.
Where were they transferred to?
Braydon did not ask. He had already guessed the answer.
It must be the Ludwig region! Placing the western army there could defend against the three countries outside of Ludwig and also stop the northern army elites from heading south.
This was a barrier. However, he did not know who gave the order to mobilize the western army. Hatcher said in a low voice, “The second secret order came from the northern territory. King Carden asked me to tell you that the northern territory is safe and sound. There is nothing to fear about the western army!” Naturally, there was nothing to fear!
Because the western army’s swords could never be used against the people of the northern territory! Braydon smiled calmly.
Some things could not be explained to Hatcher.
Some matters related to the western army were classified as SS-grade secrets in the secret vault of the northern territory. Other than Braydon and the ten commanders, no one else knew.
The western army’s 300,000 cavalrymen were nothing to be afraid of!
However, Hatcher suddenly said, “The third secret order is a little strange. I don’t know who warned the northern army. They sent a message saying that you should leave Preston and go to the northern territory!”
“What do you think about that?” Braydon stood with his hands behind his back.
He had already guessed who gave him the warning.
Right now, Braydon wanted to hear Hatcher’s thoughts.
But Hatcher frowned slightly. “It was the third secret order that worried me, which was why I rushed over. The news couldn’t have come from the capital garrison or our northern army. If it was a warning, there was no need to hide it.”
“There’s no need to be worried. The news came from the western army!” Braydon’s words stunned Hatcher.
The news came from the western army?
How was this possible?
Why would the western army send a warning? Hatcher could not understand! “How much do you know about the ten commanders of the northern army?” Braydon chuckled.
“The first legion led by Cole Colbie. He is one of the three sons of the north. He secretly controls the most terrifying power of the northern army, the imperial guard of the northern army!”
Hatcher said as if he was talking about his family’s treasures. “Continue!” Braydon nodded.
Hatcher let out a breath. “Luther Carden of the second legion. He is the leader of the Five Heavenly Kings of the northern army. He is in charge of the hidden agents of the northern region. His 100,000 comrades are all over the world!”
“The third legion’s Yuri Qualls, the White-clothed Killing God, secretly controls the northern school of martial arts. Its use is unknown, and there are no detailed records of it in the capital garrison.”
“The fourth legion’s Laird Xenos and the ice spear are inseparable from King Carden!”
“The fifth legion’s Qadry Knight is the elder brother of the Qilin twins. He does things irrationally and has a bad temper. He is in charge of the northern army sword order!”
“Sixth legion’s Landry Knight is the younger brother of the Qilin twins. Humble personality; in charge of the martial department of the northern army!”
“Seventh legion’s Danny Que, the Wolf of the East, is naturally fond of battle. He is in charge of the eastern capital and one of the seven departments of the northern army.”
“Eighth legion’s Blake Matthews, information unknown!”
“Ninth legion’s Korbin Scamander, unknown!”
“Tenth legion, gender unknown, age unknown, name unknown!”
Hatcher was born in the northern territory, so he knows the northern army better than ordinary people.
