Chapter 1606 Black Ax Mercenary Group (Ⅰ)

"Slude, it's so unfair for you to say that! I'm not picky eaters, and I keep exercising every day!" Joan solemnly emphasized.

"Haha! Look at your aggrieved face, so cute! Reminds me of when I first met you, your kid broke his leg on the Daxue Mountain. In order to go to the bathroom, he had to become a cute big eyeball , floating in the air."

Slude suddenly stretched out his hands, held his cheeks and rubbed them wantonly, grinning badly, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

"Even if you are an arcane genius who is rarely seen in a hundred years, with the title of doctor, in my eyes, you are still the shy little boy from before! Hmph! I can't help but want to rub your face when I meet you!"

What the hell kind of shit is this? !

Joan was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear it, and was unable to get rid of Slude's "claw" for a while, so she had to look at Uncle Logan for help.

"Okay, Slude, stop messing around!"

Logan gave his daughter a stern look.

Slude resentfully let go of Joan's almost rounded face, but took his hand naturally, and said with a smile: "After this war is over, how about going back to Shizhu Town with me for a few days? My mother , and Master Gray, I miss you very much."

Joan nodded gratefully: "Are Master Gray and Mrs. Ishtar alright?"

"Master Gray is still the same, sleeping most of the time, my mother's health is much better than two years ago, and I am discussing with my father recently to have a baby, I have a hunch that it will be a cute little boy like you... ah , I want to be an older sister so much! If not a younger brother, it would be nice to have a younger sister!"

"Slude, as someone who has experienced it, I have to give you a piece of advice. If you really have a younger sister in the future, I'm afraid you won't be happy." Haakon said to his younger sister seriously.

"Haakon! Don't confuse me with you! I'm different from your negative example. I will definitely become an elder who is deeply admired by my younger brothers and sisters. Joan, don't you think so?"

"Well, if you want to hear the truth, you must first promise not to rub my face again."

"Aha?! Then I have to rub it a little more now!"

Seeing Slude's teeth and claws about to pounce, Joan hurriedly shrank his head to dodge, and found that Lord Custis and Uncle Logan were laughing at him and Slude and Haakon. He was quite ashamed and coughed twice. voice, put on a serious face, and changed the topic to a slightly more serious one.

"Haakon, Slude, just now I heard you two arguing outside the door, and you mentioned the 'Black Ax Mercenary Corps' many times. What's going on?"

Haakon sneered, showing disdain.

"The name 'Black Ax Mercenary Corps' may seem unfamiliar to you, but when it comes to 'Conquering the Cult Corps', Joan, you should still have an impression?"

Conquer the Order? !

Joan couldn't help but tremble.

"Of course I know about the Conquering Cult, and I have had many conflicts with those cultists. Could it be that this 'Black Ax Mercenary Group' is related to the Conquering Cult?"

"It's more than 'relationship'! The so-called 'Black Ax Mercenary Group' is actually a group of Conqueror Cultists who came together to form a temporary team, plus a group of orc minions and 'blight monsters' to fill the scene, They are actually so grandiosely known as 'the number one mercenary group in Midgard', and they are not afraid to blow their heads!"

Haakon became angrier as he spoke, shaking his head and laughing.

"Joan, do you know what's even more ridiculous? It's such a cult group with a disguised appearance, who was approved by the commander of the Midgard Colonial Corps, Benedict Laval, and spent a lot of military money to hire 'black' The ax mercenary group' acted as their own personal guard!"

"Let's not talk about the military discipline and combat effectiveness of this grassroots mercenary group, whether it can play a value commensurate with the 100,000 Gold Duga commission in the battle against the Feizhen army, let's talk about what these cultists are thinking. , Can we normal people figure it out?"

"Baron Laval put these crazy lunatics and monsters by his side, so he was really at ease, not afraid that the cultists would murder him behind his back, cut off his head, and offered it to General Cornwallis on the opposite side in exchange for a reward ?”

Haakon shrugged and spread his hands: "This makes me wonder if Benedict Laval is also crazy!"

"I'm not surprised." Slude said lightly, "'The Butcher' Laval is not a good thing himself, a murderer with bloody hands, and a cultist full of crazy thoughts, isn't this a perfect match? It's so strange that they smell like each other."

"In fact, I even suspect that Benedict Laval himself is a conquest cultist, and he occupies a high position in this cult group, otherwise the 'Black Ax Mercenary Group' group of monsters who are neither human nor ghost will not treat him He bowed his head and obeyed his ears, and obeyed his orders."

Slude's eyes were cold, and he continued in a low voice: "If my guess is true, then Laval's seemingly abnormal practice of recruiting cultists as his personal guards becomes reasonable. Under these circumstances, Laval doesn't have to worry about the Black Ax Mercenary Group betraying him, and will serve him wholeheartedly."

"Slude, according to your guess, 'The Butcher' Laval and the Black Ax mercenary group are no longer a simple relationship between employers and mercenaries, or even a relationship between officers and soldiers. The relationship between people like the high priest and the congregants who worship him, the latter regard the former's order as conveying the will of God, and are brainwashed into fanatics, even if Laval orders them to commit suicide immediately, they will do so without hesitation .”

Haakon wiped off his cold sweat: "If that's the case...that would be too scary!"

Perhaps due to the influence of Arnold, Joan's impression of Baron Laval is actually pretty good. Besides, Laval was born in a famous noble family and was the commander of the garrison of the Midgard colony. The organization got involved, and when he heard Slude and Haakon's malicious speculation about Baron Laval, he didn't take it seriously at first.

However, thinking about it carefully, Joan's belief couldn't help being shaken.

Isn't Baron Laval's hatred of the aborigines, his fanatical desire for colonial expansion and land plundering, exactly the same as the idea of ​​conquering the Christians?

What is the difference between an extremely racist general like Lieutenant Colonel Henry James and a cultist who has been reused under Baron Laval?

What's more, there are already traces of the inextricable connection between the colonial military and the Conquering Order.

For example, when Joan was involved in the ranch incident in Hows Town, Baldwin, the owner of the horse farm who kidnapped the centaur and secretly conducted breeding experiments, was not only a conquest cultist himself, but Baldwin's uncle, General Hooker, the commander of the Port of Princes Garrison, was also conquest of the sect. In a high position.
