Warlord

Chapter 78:



Lankey was fifty years old, a black man.

Because of his natural white hair and beard, he was nicknamed “White-headed Eagle”.

But the nickname did not refer only to his appearance, but also to his hawkish eyes.

Other than the perfect string, Lanqi had an innate sense for the unknown. This was also the reason why he was able to roam the southwest for nearly five years without turning into a monster’s food.

Lan Qi was a rank 5 sniper. He could be considered an expert in the field of organization and Adepts.

But in Elk Town, the place where adventurers had the ability to reach the seventh step, Lan Qi was pitifully weak.

However, many stronger people had died, but the White-headed Eagle was still alive.

Lan Qi naturally had his own way of survival, and that was not to do anything beyond his abilities.

For the past five years, his figure had roamed the borders of the southwest.

This area took up tens of thousands of square kilometers and had already become a buffer zone between Elk Town and the Southwest.

Although most of the maps in this gray belt have been known by adventurers, many of the species and resources are not appreciated by adventurers.

In their hearts, they had long ago decided that huge amounts of wealth could only be found in deeper unknown areas.

The white-headed eagle’s eyes were locked on this grey area. He was well aware of his own abilities. Even if he were to survive in this grey area, he would still find it rather difficult, not to mention those areas that were not recognized.

Within these five years, Lanqi had discovered a lot of valuable information from the gray belt. However, he was very clear that he could not bring these precious resources out of Elk by himself.

So he chose another way to make money, and that was to sell the information in the pub.

The gray zone was much safer than the unknown, although the resources Lankey provided were no better than the resources he had brought back from the unknown.

However, there were very few resources in the unknown region, and the danger was too great. Hence, Lan Qi’s information was very popular.

Just the cost of half a month’s worth of information was already close to seven figures on Lange’s savings account.

It wasn’t the money Lankey had prepared for himself. The retirement money the Parkland plutocrats had paid for him was enough to make him happy for the rest of his life.

After retirement, the eagle still worked hard to make money for his son, Kabu.

Class 5 sniping was the limit Lankey could reach. His son, Kabu, had already shown a rare talent in the field of perception, and he was now the tracking expert for Saurun, Parkland’s first successor.

There was no doubt that Kabu’s future was far greater than Lanqi’s. The White-headed Eagle would hand over every cent it had earned in the Southwest to Kabu for the cost of increasing its own abilities.

He had put all his effort into his son.

Lan Qi was ready to leave Elk Town. He had sold almost all the valuable information he had, so he had no reason to stay in the town.

Today, after the last piece of information was sold, the white eagle ordered good whiskey for itself as a farewell trip.

As he slowly tasted the amber liquid in his chest, a young soldier pushed open the door of the tavern and then rushed towards him in a panic.

Lan Qi’s sharp senses detected something different. His hand had already landed on the Desert Eagle on his waist.

His sniper rifle Falcon 3 did not carry it on him, but the automatic handgun of the old dynasty was enough for Lan Qi to deal with any situation.

“Mr. Lankey…”

The soldier came up to the bar, gasping for breath, and called out the name of the white-headed eagle.

Lan Qi lazily said, “My information has been sold out. If you want news, go and report it to the other intelligence merchants.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Mr. Lankey, I’ve come to you on behalf of Sauron.”

The soldier stood up, and Lankey realized that his tactical suit bore the badge of the Parkland plutocrat.

The bald eagle’s heart skipped a beat for no reason. He threw down his wine cup and asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”

Saurun would never send someone all the way to Elk to find a retired sniper. Besides his son, Kabu, Lankey could not think of a reasonable reason.

“I’m sorry to tell you this, Mr. Lankey.”

“Sauron’s tracking expert, your son, Mr. Kabu, was killed in a mission two months ago!”

“What?”

The White-headed Eagle let out a loud roar, and the normally quiet adventurer suddenly became extremely excited. Everyone else looked at it strangely.

“What mission is it?”

How did Kabu die?

“Killed by the monster?”

For Lankey, Kabu was the continuation and hope of his life.

Although Lankey knew that there was no safety in the wilderness, and Kabu could die in some ruin at any time, that was why Lankey worked so hard to make money. He wanted to increase his son’s ability to ensure his safety.

But the eagle had never thought that Kabu would leave so soon.

“Mr. Kabu was killed by an Adept named Zero. Here’s a video. You can do it.”

The soldier took out the tactical board and pulled out an image from within.

This video was from when Zero Rampage had occurred. When the Blood Cavalry quests, they would record the quest process.

In case he died in battle, he would be able to provide the necessary information support to the mission’s successor.

The video of Kabu being killed by Zero was also recorded by the AI that Saurun carried around with him. Right now, the part that Lanqi had found was edited from the AI’s record.

In the footage, Zero was just like a humanoid berserk beast. Even with the speed of 5000 frames per second, it could barely capture the trajectory of his movements.

The broken afterimage blinked past Saurun’s defensive position, and the instant it approached Kabu.

His son had been thrown out like a puppet, and his head had been twisted 0 degrees, turning into a pockmarked neck. No matter what, he couldn’t survive.

From Enraged Zero to the time when Kabu was killed, the entire process took less than 5 seconds.

At the same time as his anger, Lan Qi also calmed down.

Undoubtedly, the zero in the video was very powerful.

According to Lan Qi’s experience, he should have at least reached the sixth step in Strength and Agility.

If Lan Qi had gotten close to him, he would have been instantly killed as well.

However, Lan Qi was not so strong that it could overwhelm him. This meant that both traps and sniping could get rid of this opponent who was slightly stronger than him.

“Give me his information!”

“Everything!”

His simple words were filled with killing intent.

Dozens of kilometers away, Zero felt a chill run down his spine. It felt like he was being aimed at by a sniper rifle, causing him to lower his body.

After confirming that there were no snipers within a two-kilometer radius, he stood up.

The zero silently headed in the direction of the cold. Lightning would occasionally burst out from the thick, radiating clouds in the southwest sky.

The storm was about to arrive!
