The Dark King - Chapter 393

Chapter 393

It didn't take long for a team of cavalry to reach the canyon . Afterwards 66 infantrymen and archers came along the narrow road and stopped about seven or eight meters away from Dudian . A general riding a brown horse rushed out from the team of cavalry and jumped down from the horse . He looked at Dudian and spoke in a tense tone: "Master, are you alright?"

Dudian shook his head: "There is nothing wrong . "

The middle-aged general sighed in relief as he looked at Dudian's wounded left arm: "I've heard that two members of the escort team were bought and tried to assassinate you . Fortunately you had responded on time and didn't let the bastards to succeed! It was a negligence from the military . I hope you will forgive us master! Hand the rest of the things to us and go back to recuperate . "

Dudian smiled as he looked at the general . He knew that the man wasn't simple . Using a few casual words he outmaneuvred the situation from assassination charges to only guilt of 'negligence' . The general knew how to play with words .

"General, these are to captives that I have personally caught! They are my gift to army . " Dudian looked at two barbarians as he said to the middle-aged general .

Middle-aged general looked at the barbarians: "Master its been hard on you . Please leave this little things to us . "

"This part of the canyon is a dangerous place and someone should be stationed here . " Dudian gentle patted the general's shoulter and earnestly said without caring about the age gap between the two .

There was a trace of shock on middle-aged general's face . Was he being taught by a teenager?

However he still kept nodding with a smile as he took into the account the identity of Dudian as master of the Temple .

Dudian turned around and picked up the female barbarian from the ground and threw her onto his horse . He jumped over the horse and looked at Reid: "You should leave a person in here to count the number of the enemies that have been slain . Report the exact numbers to general!"

Reid was perplexed but he replied: "Yes . "

Reid was aware that Dudian said it deliberately . It was to make sure that middle-aged general takes into account the dead barbarians as a meritorious service . Moreover their team would be recognized not just for safety the master but for the protection of the area too .

The middle-aged general looked at the corpses of the barbarians . How could twenty people kill so many barbarians? He also understood that Dudian wanted the death of barbarisn to be counted as a meritorious service to the military .

Dudian left the area .

Reid and his team saluted the middle-aged general and used the horses to follow after Dudian . They took the other barbarian captive with them . One person from their team was left to count the number of the barbarians killed by them .

. . .

. . .

"Don't forget to tell the names of Mellon and Scott consortium when you confess . Do you get me?" Dudian looked at the female barbarians that horizontally lied on the horse .

Ivette's felt breathless because of the violent bumbs resulting in horse's movement . She curse Dudian in her heart but couldn't expose it out .

"Did you hear me?" Dudian leaned forward .

"I will do what you say . But if you don't save me then I'll snitch you out too . "

"How will you give out me name when you don't even know it?" Dudian indifferentl said and shook the ropes of the horse to rush forward .

Ivette almost spat out blood in anger as she heard Dudian's words .

It about two hours they reached the military headquarters . Dudian pulled down the female barbarian and said to the general that had come to meet them: "This is the female barbarian that we caught in the Scarlett Canyon . According to Reid she seems to belong to the Royal family . I hope you can interrogate and get important information from her . "

The general had three stars on his shoulders . He was more than 50 years old and was present when master Skagen presented the steam rifle in the military headquarters . He felt warmth towards the teenager that was in front of him .

The man's eyes had trace of shock as he listened to Dudian's words . He looked at the female barbarian escorted by Dudian . He took a breath and slowly said: "Master Dean is really brave! I know that you were an outstanding master of the Temple and a glorious knight . But I am ashamed as a general to see you achieve such extraordinary results in your first battle . This matter will be handled out by the military with the greatest care . She will spill out everything she knows . " There was a trace of coldness in his eyes as he looked at the female barbarian .

Dudian continued: "General this person is useful to me . I hope that after you are finished with her you can leave her small life and gift her to me . "

"Give her to you?" The general looked at Dudian in surprise: "Master, what for?"

"I want to check the difference of the constitution between an ordinary barbarian and the one from the Royal family . I want to make few tests . Maybe I can find a way to exterminate all the barbarians!" Dudian replied .

The general, Reid and others were confused . The general reacted after a moment: "Master, is that really possible?"

Dudian shook his head: "Of course, I can't make a 100% guarantee . I believe no master can make such a claim . But there are possibility and I hope that military will leave her life to me after the interrogation . "

The general was disappointed but then smiled: "Since master is so open with me then they will be sent to you after the investigation . I hope that master's research will be smooth and you will help us to kill every barbarian . At that point the master's name will be known as a legendary hero in the history books . I think you will be named as the greatest knight by the Knight's Hall . "

Dudian smiled but he sneered in his heart .

Dudian bid farewell to the general and wanted to leave . But Reid insisted on following him back to his castle . The war was not over and their task wasn't terminated yet .

Dudian didn't insist on leaving them along . It was also convenient for him to be escorted back to his castle . Moreover he would make friendly ties with the military men . He felt that he would be able to take advantage of this in the future .

Dudian once again replaced the gauze after coming back to the castle . Reid wanted to send the military's top level doctors to treat Dudian but he refused .

There were two reasons for Dudian's refusal . The first one was that he wasn't willing to the people form the military know about his physical condition and constitution . The second reason was that Mellon or another unknown enemy could infiltrate and use the army's doctors to assassinate him . He couldn't detect the problem or protect himself if he wasn't aware what kind of treatment he was going through .

"Young Master . " Neuss carried hot soupt and placed on top of the table . He looked at the black gauze that was replaced by Dudian . There was worry in his face as he said: "Master, are you alright? Did the drugs were able to clean up the poison?"

"Yes . " Dudian was about to drink soup but he suddenly thought of something . He pondered for a while and took a silver coin from the drawer and threw it into the bowl .

Neuss was at a loss .

Dudian gazed for a moment but he couldn't detect any smell . He was relieved and was about to drink the soup when he saw a touch of dark black color at the edge of the silver coin . His face changed as he looked at Neuss .

Neuss stared at Dudian as the hair on his body erected: "Master . . . Are you . . . "

Dudian looked at him for a moment then retracted his eyes . He slowly said: "Immediately catch the person responsible for making the soup . Ask him the reason why he had poisoned the soup . "

"Poison?" Neuss was shocked . However he suddenly understood the seriousness of the situation as he saw the gloomy expression on Dudian's face . He turned and left in hurry .

"Mellon consortium doesn't have such an ability or else they would have used this trick long time ago . It seems there are other people who want to deal with me . Moreover they are much powerful than Mellon consortium . Is it that I'm a big enough tree to feel the movement of the wind?" Dudian pondered .
