Chapter 126 - 126 100 The Tragic Gatekeeper_3

126: Chapter 100: The Tragic Gatekeeper_3 126: Chapter 100: The Tragic Gatekeeper_3 Such entities, once they appear on the battlefield, carry out total slaughter.

Especially the range of the arrows.

Baron Katelai clearly realized that a distance of more than three hundred meters was far from the limit.

The arrow flew only so far because the prey was only that far away.

Such accurate control of power should not appear in humans.

Even among elves, who are best at archery, very few can achieve this level.

Those with a bit of common sense know that the strength of an archer is usually proportional to their her own power, and the archers in an army are often made up of the strongest soldiers.

The powerful elf bow in Hudson’s hands, Baron Katelai had seen in the Northland, it could not be fully drawn without the strength of a Great Knight.

The requirement for controlling power is even greater if one wants to manipulate it freely.

Although Hudson hadn’t fully drawn the bow either, Baron Katelai didn’t think he couldn’t.

Just Hudson’s composure during the shooting process had already infinitely elevated his status in the eyes of Baron Katelai.

There are no explanations as he is just showing off naturally.

The more he intimidates, the better.

As for whether he will scare the audience, that’s not his problem.

“Baron Katelai, you flatter me.

The Continent of Aslante is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the legendary Arrow Saint can take down a Giant Dragon with one shot.

My insignificant skill can only dominate in a small place like the Southeastern Province.”

Hudson said bluntly, without any shame in cheating, as if he truly had this kind of strength.

He flaunted himself by comparing himself to characters in legends, but strangely, Baron Katelai didn’t feel it was inappropriate.

Judging from the strength Hudson is showing now, it may not be a new legend.

Witnessing the birth of a legend should be a joyful thing, but as a good neighbor, Baron Katelai couldn’t be happy about it at all.

Since ancient times, those associated with legendary figures are inevitably reduced to foil.

Even if Baron Katelai had confidence in his ability, he was still shaken at this moment.

Tiny Layton County cannot accommodate two Flood Dragons.

Baron West had already exerted enough pressure on him, and now this powerful neighbor, who should have been quietly cultivating land, has revealed his ferocious teeth.

“Baron Hudson, you didn’t invite me here today just to go hunting, did you?”

Baron Katelai asked with puzzled.

A cut for sticking your neck out, a cut for retreating.

Might as well ask and make it clear, reluctant to waste time here.

“Haha…”

“Baron Katelai, you are still so direct.

I have to admit, I did invite you over today because I need to discuss something with you.

I’m planning a long journey soon, which will last at least fifteen days, or a month.

In the meantime, there are bound to be some insignificant people who want to make trouble.

The Mountain Territory is remote, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a plain on one.

The only appropriate way for a large army to pass is through the Maple Domain, so I’m asking my neighbor to keep an eye on it and not let all kinds of people in.”

“As good neighbors, we have shared hardships together.

I reckon Baron Katelai wouldn’t refuse this small favor, would he?”

After hearing Hudson’s shameless words, Baron Katelai nearly fainted from anger.

Is this the attitude of asking for help?

Clearly, it’s an outright threat.

So, because he is unfortunate enough to be stuck outside the gate of the Mountain Territory, he has to volunteer to be the gatekeeper without compensation?

But Baron Katelai doesn’t dare refuse.

The phrase “we’ve suffered together” is too damaging, Hudson is obviously sticking to him.

Just shy of telling him directly, if something happens in the Mountain Territory, the Maple Domain will have to suffer too.

If it wasn’t for fear of the power of the man in front of him, Baron Katelai would rather kill this shameless person, but unfortunately, he’s not an impulsive person in the end.

“Hudson, are you taking me for granted?”

Baron Katelai said through gritted teeth.

It’s clear that he’s truly angry this time, calling him by name directly, even leaving out the word ‘Baron’.

“I’m sorry, Baron Katelai.

Actually, I don’t want this either.

But there’s no choice, the enemy hiding in the dark is difficult to guard against before they show up.

But the Maple Domain is right in front of us, as long as you are dealt with, the enemy can’t get through.”

Hudson said with a shameful look on his face.

Regret was written all over his face, but he didn’t change his decision.

Whether Baron Katelai was willing or not, he had to force him to become a gatekeeper.

All of this is forced, for the safety of the territory, Hudson can only be shameless this time.

As long as Baron Katelai doesn’t let the enemy in, the other mountain trails don’t even have roads.

Trying to get around from the vast Salam Mountain Range is not easy.

If they get lost halfway, by the time Hudson returns from Qiaomu County, the enemy may not even be able to reach the gate of the mining area.

“Baron Hudson, you’re pushing people too far.

Aren’t you afraid I will retaliate?”

Baron Katelai said indignantly.

If looks could kill, Hudson would have been cut into a thousand pieces, skinned, and deboned.

“You won’t do that.

Even if the Mountain Territory is attacked, the worst I can suffer is heavy losses.

No matter how much they can destroy, they will only lose some money and food.

Nobody would dare to slaughter all the serfs in the territory, would they?

With my reputation, there are plenty of people willing to lend a helping hand.

Along with the support of my clan, I can recover in one or two years at most.

But it’s different for you, one failure and you lose everything.

Even if your clan is willing to continue to support you, it won’t quench your immediate thirst.

If you lose your three hundred elites, you’ll not only lose your foothold in Layton County, but you also can’t be sure whether you can survive the journey back to the Northland.

After all, you’ve offended more than one or two people since you entered Layton County.

Perhaps when you are strong, they dare not do anything, but those people definitely have the courage to kick you down.”

Hudson said coldly.

His eyes were fixed on Baron Katelai, as if waiting for the final answer.

He knew that the more critical the situation, the less he could give in.

Any act of concession would cause suspicion in the other party.
