Chapter 51

Rex is one of Baron Duve's trusted confidants, which is why the baron entrusted him with the management of the Brussels mine. Under his management, the mine continuously supplied iron ore to Castle Caspami, bringing in a large amount of gold for Baron Duve.

Since there were no mines within the territory of Castle Caspami, Baron Duve's private army couldn't even afford armor before. However, after taking over the Brussels iron mine, not only did Baron Duve make a fortune, but his soldiers also donned new iron armor, significantly increasing their combat power. There were already signs of a rise in the neighboring territories.

Because of this, Rex is now a favorite in Baron Duve's eyes. His plump figure clearly shows that he is living very well.

"What's going on!? Why are all of you gathered here!? Not working!?"

Rex roared, "Do you want me to dock your pay!?"

Shit! You've been docking our pay for a long time!

The soldiers kneeling on the ground were initially reluctant, but after hearing Rex's words, they all knelt more firmly and decided to stop working altogether.

Tang En couldn't help but laugh. This is what they call a pig teammate, right?

"Huh!? Who are you people? Don't you know this is private property!? Quickly—Rogers!?"

Rex suddenly saw Rogers beside Tang En and laughed loudly, "I was wondering where you had gone, turns out you went to get reinforcements! But do you really think these people can turn the tide!?"

Even Rogers was speechless. Is this guy blind? Can't he see that the soldiers have already surrendered? How can he still feel so good about himself?

"Hey, big brother," Brian patted Tang En's leg, "Is this guy blind? He must be blind, right?"

"What are you all standing around for!? Why are you all lying on the ground!? Hurry up and arrest them!"

Rex's face turned from laughter to anger, and he roared. At this moment, the chief supervisor, Drum, leaned in and whispered, "Sir, it seems these soldiers... have surrendered?"

"Surrendered?"

Rex roared, "Over a hundred and fifty soldiers, and they surrendered to just over fifty people!? Are you insulting my intelligence!?"

Sir, they really have surrendered...

Drum wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had already seen the situation clearly. A fierce battle had definitely taken place here, with bloodstains and corpses on the ground.

And it was very clear that the soldiers from the mine were no match for them!

Although he didn't know what had happened, it was obvious that their situation was now very dangerous.

But Drum quickly calmed down. Although the soldiers were useless, they still had experts!

Tang En stepped forward, "You are Rex, the current overseer of the Brussels mine?"

Rex was furious, "How dare you! My name is not something a lowly commoner like you can call directly!"

Elsa was immediately angry, "Shut up! Standing before you is Lord Tang En of Ellington! Quickly put away your rude arrogance and kneel to apologize to the lord!"

"Lord of Ellington? Tang En?"

Rex sneered, "I only know that the lord of Ellington is Hog, and even if that waste of space dared to be arrogant in front of me, Baron would teach that fool what true noble power is!"

Tang En said calmly, "Hog has already been killed by me."

Rex was stunned, "That's impossible! He is the imperial-appointed lord of Ellington!"

Elsa said proudly, "Hog conspired with bandits and attempted to assassinate the new lord of Ellington. He was killed on the spot! Now Ellington is Lord Tang En's territory!"

Rex and Drum were both stunned. After a moment, Rex laughed loudly, "So what!?"

Tang En said calmly, "The Brussels iron mine is the property of Ellington. I demand that you immediately return the mine, release all the enslaved residents of Ellington, and require Baron Duve to compensate for the illegal gains."

"Ha ha ha, are you still asleep?"

Rex laughed maniacally, "Do you think that by defeating these soldiers, you can take back the mine? Boy, you're still too young!"

Tang En raised an eyebrow, "So you're not planning to give up and leave quietly?"

Rex sneered, "Boy, it's not too late to kneel and beg for mercy. Otherwise, I'll make you regret coming here! Eddie!"

"Finally, it's my turn?"

A voice came from behind Rex, and Tang En was surprised to find another person there—hidden by Rex's large frame.

Eddie stepped out, drew his sword, and said with disdain, "Who's making all the noise? Come and die."

Rogers said nervously, "Lord, that's Eddie, Rex's bodyguard. Everyone who opposed Rex in the mine was killed by him. He is very powerful! I saw him split a huge rock in half with one sword strike!"

"Eddie!"

Rogers clenched his fists, "Don't be so arrogant, Lord is here, it's not your turn to speak!"

"Hmph, a waste of space."

Eddie said disdainfully, "In my eyes, there is only one lord, and that is Baron Duve. As for the rest... they are just trash."

"Exactly!"

Eddie stood in front, and Rex calmed down a lot, sneering, "Eddie is one of the baron's capable subordinates, a bronze fourth-rank expert at the age of thirty. You? A bunch of talentless waste? No matter how many of you come, you're no match for Eddie!"

"The opponent of a Touched can only be another Touched. You? You're just sacrifices for me to warm up."

Eddie sneered and took another step forward, "So, who wants to be the first to die?"

Elsa said indignantly, "Lord, this guy is too arrogant, let me teach him a lesson."

"No, no, no! Let me, let me!"

Brian jumped up anxiously, "I didn't get enough fighting just now! What if you kill him with one slap!"

"Alright," Tang En sighed, these warmongers, "Brian, you go. No holds barred."

"Yes, sir!"

Brian got excited and shouted, "—You guys, come and die!"

Eddie sneered, "I've never seen anyone so eager to die. Even if you're a dwarf, I won't hold back."

"The people of the earth never expect mercy from their enemies!"

Brian spat and picked up his warhammer, pointing at Eddie, "Boy, you better last a while, don't die in a few hits! You should be honored to die under my hammer!"

Never kill an unknown person? Go tell that to the undead!

The soldiers kneeling on the ground muttered to themselves. This dwarf had killed plenty just now!

"You talk too much! Come and die!"

Eddie was impatient. Brian's endless chatter was annoying him.

"How dare you say I talk too much? You ungrateful human boy, I was being merciful by giving you a send-off before you die. You don't even thank me, and you dare to—take this!"

As Brian was talking, he suddenly swung his warhammer!

Eddie quickly stepped back, narrowly avoiding Brian's hammer, and was furious, "You cheated! Are you even a dwarf!?"

Today, Brian gave Eddie a real eye-opener.

Didn't they say dwarves don't like to talk much? Didn't they say dwarves are straightforward and honest?

This guy not only talks a lot but also cheats!

Are there such devious dwarves!?

"Tch! You actually dodged!"

Brian spat and stopped talking, charging forward!

"Die!"

An angry Eddie swung his sword at Brian's neck, but Brian just ducked, rolled under Eddie's legs, and punched Eddie's knee from behind!

Eddie stumbled, almost falling, and was even more furious. This guy actually escaped from under his legs!?

"Do you have no sense of shame!?"

"Shame?" Brian dug his nose, looking disdainful, "For the losers, shame is inevitable. For the winners, shame is meaningless. Why should I care about such things? Less talk, take my hammer!"

"Dream on!"

A faint glow appeared around Eddie. Brian felt that this hammer would definitely hit, but at the last moment, Eddie dodged like a ghost and even cut a gash on his shoulder!

Brian was furious, "Cunning human! Have the guts to face me head-on!"

"Do you have the right to call me cunning!? Everyone knows dwarves are very strong. Why should I use my weakness against your strength?"

Eddie sneered, "With your speed, you'll never hit me!"

As Eddie said, Brian was incredibly strong, and his weapon was a treasure-level warhammer that no one could imagine. If he hit Eddie, it would likely end the fight in one blow. However, Brian had one weakness.

His speed.

At this moment, Eddie's speed suddenly became abnormally fast, and Brian could only chase his shadow in vain.

In the world of martial arts, nothing is unbreakable, except speed.

"After your stamina is exhausted, I can take your life with a single light strike."

Eddie's plan was excellent, but he didn't know that trying to outlast Brian in stamina would ultimately be his downfall.

The treasure warhammer in Brian's hand had a special effect called King of the Mountains: the wielder is protected by the power of the earth, and standing on the earth, his stamina never runs out! ===PS: As requested by readers, today's update time is earlier.
