"Hahaha… This is the so-called Empire's Strongest? A young brat?"
"What was that armor that could fly before? It must be the legendary Teigu! Hahaha, as long as we kill him, it's ours!"
"I've long heard that this Empire's Strongest is a famous womanizer, surrounded by beauties. Tsk tsk, it's indeed well-deserved!"
"Leader, that woman in the maid outfit is so slutty. Give her to me after you enjoy her!"
"Hahaha, Leader, I want that big-chested one!"
"I want that long-legged one!"
"I want…"
…
Staring greedily at the women around Sora, the Tengu Gang members were excited and yelled wildly. They were a little worried before, but now, in the face of huge temptation, that little bit of worry had long been thrown away!
Even the leader, who was trying to remain calm, couldn't help but breathe heavily, his eyes turning green.
As long as they killed this kid, that mighty and domineering Teigu would be theirs! As long as they killed this kid, these beautiful women who were driving people crazy would be theirs!! As long as they killed this kid, that huge bonus reward would be theirs!!!
Looking at this group of mercenary members like mad dogs, except for Taeko, who had a calm nature, Babara and Chelsea couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Although they were just cannon fodder, they were too embarrassing!
"Hey, you dead fairy, did you hear that? These guys are already dividing up my belongings!"
Looking at this group of top-quality people in front of him, Sora's eyes twitched wildly, and he said in a seemingly calm tone.
"Hahaha… Hear… I heard it!"
She had already laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. Not only Martha, but all the other women were the same. These guys were too funny!
"Well, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Tengu Gang grandpas, I am that stinky kid Sora you're talking about."
"Want my Teigu? Want my women? Want my head to exchange for a reward? Okay, I'll give you a chance!"
A strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Sora's tone suddenly changed:
"But! Before that, there's one thing I must ask you clearly!"
Although his voice was not very loud, every word of Sora's felt like a faint pain in the ears of the Tengu Gang members. The unique aura of the supreme king was released, and the whole scene fell silent.
"Heh heh, what an interesting young man! Tell me your question. I'm quite curious about what could concern the legendary Death General, the Empire's strongest, Sora!"
The leader standing at the front laughed loudly, but his eyes kept wandering over Martha. Although he occasionally glanced at Cornelia and the other women, it was clear that he preferred the enchantress type.
"Hey… actually, my question is very simple. I just want to know who wrote the letter from before."
A flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes as Sora put his arm around Martha's waist and asked with a wicked smile.
Well, the Tengu Gang, who had been full of anticipation, were all stunned. They thought Sora was going to ask something important, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter!
The one-eyed second-in-command was also taken aback at first, then wore a proud expression. He stepped forward and shouted at Sora:
"Boy, I wrote the letter, what are you going to do about it?"
"Hahaha, don't think only you nobles know how to scribble and draw. I'm an intellectual too, I can do it too!"
Speaking of his handwriting, it was the one-eyed man's lifelong pride. In the corrupt Empire, it was almost impossible for commoners to learn to read and write. Even among the hundreds of brothers in his mercenary团, he was the only one who could write!
Because he was the only one who could write, he was in charge of the gang's accounts. The one-eyed man deeply understood the truth of the saying "knowledge is wealth." As long as it wasn't too outrageous, he could spend the gang's assets however he wanted, and record the accounts however he wanted. He was the richest in the gang besides the leader!
And at this moment, the one-eyed man felt like he was at the peak of his life. To be able to proudly say "I am also an intellectual" in front of the Empire's strongest general, this unparalleled sense of accomplishment almost made his one eye float to the sky.
"Ha… so it was you?"
Sora sighed and covered his face with one hand, looking heartbroken.
Before the one-eyed man could say anything, Sora continued:
"I don't want to say anything to you. A guy like you who has defiled the written word doesn't deserve to be forgiven. As punishment, I'll send you to heaven to see Buddha. Remember to study hard when you're chanting scriptures with Buddha."
After speaking, Sora didn't wait for everyone to react and directly pushed a palm towards the one-eyed man on the small boat on the river not far away.
A giant palm made of pure energy condensed and grabbed the one-eyed man at lightning speed, sending him flying into the sky amidst everyone's horrified expressions.
"Ah…"
The one-eyed man's scream still echoed in their ears, but looking at the black dot that had disappeared into the starry sky, everyone couldn't recover for a long time.
"Tch, why didn't he say 'I'll be back!'"
Sora curled his lips with an extremely bored expression.
"Ah… fire, shoot! Shoot!!"
The man who had been so confident and called the leader was the first to recover. His expression changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out all over him. He roared in endless horror.
At this moment, he regretted it, he really regretted it. For a moment of greed, what kind of monster had he provoked?!
To turn a person into a shooting star with one palm, was this really human?
No, this was definitely not human, it was a demon! An extremely terrifying demon!
"Fire! Fire quickly!"
"Demon, this guy is a demon!"
"Kill him! Kill him quickly!"
…
The other members of the mercenary gang finally came to their senses. Each of them was almost scared to death. They didn't dare to hesitate and instinctively raised the firelocks in their hands and fired again and again under the drive of great fear.
For a time, the sounds of gunfire, shouts, and the roar of the river water all blended together.
After about half a cup of tea's time, until the entire mercenary gang had exhausted their gunpowder, the Tengu Gang gradually quieted down. Each of them still had a pale face, obviously the previous scene had been too stimulating for them.
"Ha… haha… so many bullets, he's dead this time, right? That monster!"
"Yeah, yeah, with such a fierce attack, no matter what kind of monster he is, he definitely won't survive!"
"I was really scared just now, I actually saw the vice captain turn into a shooting star and fly into the sky! It must be an illusion, hahaha…"
"Alas, it's a pity about those women, they were really beautiful…"
…
With stiff smiles, the members of the Tengu Gang deceived themselves with one word and another, as if they wanted to forget everything that had just happened. Anyway, the monster was already dead, and as for the vice captain, he probably accidentally fell into the river, right?
Of course, there were also some guys who were still thinking about those beautiful women, but in their opinion, those women must have been shot to death along with that monster. What a pity!
However, the next moment, when the dust settled and the vision became clear again, with the help of the faint starlight, when the members of the Tengu Gang looked forward again, each of them turned pale, opened their mouths wide, and were completely dumbfounded…
Because the scene of being shot into a sieve and lying dead on the ground that they had imagined did not appear. On the contrary, alive, everyone was still alive!
I saw that, at some point, the enchanting woman in the pure white maid outfit stood at the front, pushing one hand forward, and a water curtain blocked in front of them in an extremely strange way.
Moreover, on the ground below the water curtain, there were piles and piles of bullets shot from the firelocks…
