Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Looking at the neatly aligned black armored soldiers at the city gate, the pretty mercenary couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

“Newcomer, don’t say anything reckless later. These soldiers are ruthless killers.

Last time, I saw a young couple trying to escape the town and they were stabbed to death on the spot without any question.”

Roke, the shield bearer, shook his head helplessly and lowered his voice, “And there’s more.

A young mercenary around your age got into a verbal argument with a gatekeeper, and he too was executed on the spot.

His corpse hung at the city gate for days. I can still hear the mocking laughter of those soldiers.”

“And they don’t even spare the children…sigh.”

On the other side, the middle-aged Priest stopped speaking midway, clasped his hands together and placed them on his chest, striking a praying posture before falling silent.

“How can these soldiers be so arrogant? Doesn’t anyone try to stop them?” The pretty mercenary clenched his fists, fuming with anger.

“Hush! The person in charge here has the backing of Marquis Rocky, who holds absolute power in this area!

Commoners would do anything to avoid such powerful figures. Who would dare to provoke them?”

Roke, the middle-aged mercenary, signaled for the pretty mercenary to lower his voice even more and spoke cautiously.

“If only there were another powerful person who could come and eliminate all these despicable bastards.”

Under the bright sunlight, looking at the malicious black armored soldiers at the gate, the pretty mercenary clenched his fists and bit his lips tightly.

After listening to the pretty mercenary, Roke and the other Priest mercenary both helplessly shook their heads in silence.

Such na?ve words could only be spoken by a greenhorn like him.

At that moment, only the Female Mercenary Captain at the front had a glimmer of hope in her bright eyes.

She muttered in her heart, “I wish there really was such a formidable person.”

Thinking of this, the Female Mercenary Captain looked back and said, “In any case, once this escort mission ends, we’ll immediately look for our next job.

We should minimize our stay in this devouring place.”

“As our Captain commands.” Upon hearing this, the mercenaries behind her saluted with their fists.

And so, a few moments later.

The convoy quickly arrived at the city gate.

At this time, several other business groups were already lined up at the gate for inspection.

At a glance, the bustling crowd was filled with merchants and mercenaries delivering supplies.

Without a doubt, this notoriously infamous town wouldn’t be frequented by ordinary travelers.

From the magical lightning network standing tall atop the city wall, it was evident that the residents had no possibility of escaping.

“It’s a good thing you’re quick-witted, you old slick. Now get in!”

After some time, having received the sum of money respectfully presented by a merchant,

The Black Armored Soldier Captain inspecting them slapped the merchant’s head crudely.

He greedily pocketed the money pouch, and with a few black armored soldiers by his side, proceeded to the next convoy to continue his inspection.

Seeing this, Roke, the middle-aged shield-bearing mercenary, and the Priest mercenary beside him exchanged glances.

Their guarded convoy was right behind this one.

What they were transporting were regular condiments and salt.

They could only hope that no trouble would arise during the inspection.

After all, once these arrogant soldiers were in a bad mood, they would have to face the consequences.

As the two grew nervous deep in their hearts,

Turbulence suddenly broke out at the front of the merchant group.

“Old man, this pretty girl with sparkling eyes has never been part of your convoy before, has she?”At this moment, the Black Armored Soldier Captain pointed at a well-developed young girl standing nearby.

Then he questioned an old merchant with white hair, “Who is this girl?”

“My Lord, she is my young daughter who is travelling with me for the first time for my business, so she may seem unfamiliar to you. I hope you understand,” the old merchant bowed and replied, tactfully taking out a large money bag and respectfully handing it over.

The Black Armored Soldier Captain weighed the money bag in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his fierce face as he nodded slightly.

Just when everyone thought that the storm had passed,

The Black Armored Soldier Captain first pocketed the money bag.

Then, immediately changing his face, he ordered the black-armored soldiers behind him, “Trying to bribe me with money! This proves that the girl must be a spy.

Take her away! I shall interrogate her personally later!”

At this point, a sinister smile appeared on the captain’s face.

He unabashedly began to look up and down the curvaceous body of the young girl.

“My Lord, it’s a misunderstanding! She’s just my daughter!” Hearing this, the old merchant hurried to protect the terrified girl and tried to explain.

“You old fool, dare to obstruct me?”

The Black Armored Soldier Captain spat at the old merchant and threatened, “I see you’re tired of living!”

With that, a strong murderous intent surged from him as he drew the longsword at his waist, its sharp tip pointing directly at the old merchant’s frail neck.

Seeing this scene, the mercenaries protecting the old merchant all lowered their heads in silence, not daring to entertain any thoughts of resistance.

Their mission was only to escort the merchant group to their destination, not to contend with these ruthless soldiers.

The surrounding mercenaries and merchants also averted their gazes, wearing expressions of helplessness and pity.

These arrogant soldiers were not to be trifled with.

After all, they were backed by the powerful Marquis Rocky!

Seeing the obedience of the crowd, the murderous smile on the Black Armored Soldier Captain’s face grew even wider.

He then raised his sword without hesitation, ready to strike the old merchant.

“Stop!”

Just then, a resolute voice sounded, interrupting the captain’s action.

Upon hearing this, not only the Black Armored Soldiers but also the surrounding merchants and mercenaries looked towards the source of the voice in amazement.

It was the handsome young mercenary who had spoken.

After a moment of stunned silence,

The first to show fear were middle-aged mercenary Roke and the middle-aged Priest beside him.

As experienced mercenaries, they knew the consequences of such actions.

Not only would the newcomer be killed on the spot,

but even they might not be able to escape blame!

“My dear God, what kind of recruit did the captain bring in?”

Thinking this, Roke felt like crying. He tugged on the young mercenary’s sleeve,

While putting on a smile, he said to the Black Armored Captain, “My Lord, this youngster was just talking to me, and he accidentally disrupted your official duties. I hope you can forgive him.”

However, the young mercenary shook off Roke’s arm, not only not backing down,

But stubbornly taking a step forward, his angry gaze fiercely thrown at the Black Armored Soldier Captain.

“Well, well, I haven’t met such a tough nut to crack in a long time. I wonder if you can withstand my full-strength strike?”

Seeing this, the Black Armored Soldier Captain sneered with rage, his longsword reflecting a cold glint as he immediately led a group of soldiers forward.

However, at this moment-

A slender figure with an extraordinary aura slowly stepped in front of the Black Armored Soldier Captain.
