Chapter 160 The roses in my hometown are blooming

From the first time Locke met Ryan, he felt that this person was not simple. He could manage the territory in an orderly manner at such a young age.

In fact, in the Kingdom of Arad, there are many nobles who inherited the territory at a young age. Their fathers died young due to various reasons. Under the rules of the hereditary system of nobles, they can only inherit the territory early.

And these young nobles often make a mess of the management of the territory. Although their fathers left them trustworthy clerks and knight captains, most young nobles want to handle government affairs themselves.

They are in the stage of being young and vigorous, and they have suddenly gained huge power. Naturally, they have an inexplicable self-confidence and feel that they can do everything well.

However, managing the territory is not as simple as they imagined. Not to mention not relying on the power of the clerk and the knight commander, even if they use their power like Baron Lancaster of Rose Town, they may not be able to manage the territory. good.

There is no way, in the current era, the lord is the core and soul of the territory. A weak lord will naturally not be able to gain the trust of the people, nor can the territory achieve better development. It would be good if he can maintain the previous situation. .

That's why Clerk Herman of Rose Town felt that Baron Lancaster was a good successor. At least he didn't let Rose Town continue to decline.

Locke had previously thought that Baron Lancaster had done a good job and was considered a qualified successor, but now that he had met Ryan, when comparing the two, Locke instantly felt that Baron Lancaster was a waste.

When Baron Lancaster inherited the territory, he still had the help of the clerk and the knight captain. The territory was not too damaged, and the knights were still intact.

Unlike Ryan, not to mention the destruction of the territory, the knights were almost completely wiped out, leaving only one knight captain.

Faced with this mess, Ryan took over and not only rebuilt the territory, but also introduced a large number of Warcraft, which led to rapid development of the territory and more and more Warcraft users under his command.

Now a team of one-horned rhinoceros knights has been formed quietly. Although this knights team is far inferior in strength to the one in Ironthorn Town, it has full potential. Who knows what the future will be like.

Therefore, Locke is very optimistic about Lane and Firefly Town. The reason why he hired Lane to deal with supplies this time is that on the one hand he wanted to attack the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce, and on the other hand he wanted to draw closer to Lane and facilitate deeper cooperation in the future.

Now that the competition between their Chamber of Commerce and the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce is intensifying, Locke will definitely fight for all the power he can.

The Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce has Ironthorn Town as foreign aid, so their Yaojin Chamber of Commerce also has to win over a noble, and Lane's Yinghuo Town is a good choice.

As for Rose Town, Locke has never considered them as a partner, and the same is true for the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce. After all, Rose Town has long lost their trust.

Moreover, ever since Qiangwei Town took refuge in Guanhai City, they had never participated in the factional struggle between them. Instead, they had been playing tricks on both sides. Whichever faction gained power, they would favor whichever side they favored.

This approach cannot be said to be wrong. At least Rose Town will not offend any faction by doing so, but similarly, no faction will accept them.

That's why Qiangwei Town was abandoned by Guanhai City so easily. There was no one in the Chamber of Commerce to speak for them.

Locke also understood this, so when Ryan asked him to pour dirty water on Rose Town, he agreed immediately. As a result, before he could say anything, Gavin had already finished his own thinking.

It seems that I don't need to say anything more. I just need to go with the flow. In addition, I have to find a way to save these two knights.

Gavin has always looked down on Rose Town. Now that he knows that these two knights are from Rose Town, he might really kill them.

"Since these two bastards are the knights of Rose Town, it's easy to handle. Let's kill one of them first, scare the other one, and let him tell the whole plan. When the time comes, the witnesses and physical evidence will be there, and I want to take a look at it. How can a Baron of Lancaster argue?"

Sure enough, Gavin was going to kill someone. He originally hated these two knights for stealing supplies and making him look so embarrassed. Now that he knew that the power behind them was not strong, he would definitely kill someone to vent his anger.

"Watson, kill that knight named Jerry for me!"

Gavin said viciously, he couldn't wait to vent his anger.

"This is as ordered!"

Watson hesitated for a moment. He admired the courage of the knight in front of him, but he still did not dare to disobey Gavin's order. He could only draw his one-handed sword and prepare to kill Xu Ruofeng.

"and many more!"

Just when Watson was about to draw his sword, Locke stopped him in time.

Watson's one-handed sword stopped in front of Xu Ruofeng's neck and did not continue to stab downward. He turned to look at Locke, wanting to see if Locke could convince Gavin.

"Director Locke, what do you mean?"

Gavin asked dissatisfiedly.

"Director Gavin, I know you are angry, but please calm down. No matter what, they are both noble knights. If we kill him, we will only cause trouble."

Locke replied with a sincere expression.

"What trouble can there be? Rose Town behind them is just a vassal of Guanhai City. Even if we kill these two knights, Baron Lancaster will not dare to say anything."

"What's more, they were the ones who took action on our supplies in the first place. How could they dare to cause trouble for us? Instead, it's time for us to go to Qiangwei Town Xingshi to question us!"

Gavin said nonchalantly that if there were other territories behind these two knights, he might still be wary.

But Rose Town was originally a vassal of their Guanhai City and was not very strong. How could he be afraid? It would have been good if he didn't let the Baron of Lancaster kill the two knights himself.

"Even if Baron Lancaster doesn't dare to trouble us, there are other nobles. If they know that we killed this noble knight, we will face a lot of pressure in the future."

"Besides, we have already lost our supplies, and we will definitely be punished when we return. If we cause trouble to the Chamber of Commerce by killing nobles, our punishment will also be increased."

Locke continued to persuade.

"Okay, who doesn't know that Rose Town is known as the 'shame of the nobility'. Those nobles can't stand up for Rose Town. It would be good if they don't add insult to injury. Moreover, Iron Thorn Town will attack Rose Town soon. Let's kill them. The knight can be regarded as helping Tiethorn."

Xu Ruofeng felt speechless when she heard that Gavin was determined to kill him.

He wasn't the one who deceived Gavin, nor was he the one who made Gavin's neck bleed. Why did he leave Chen Yan alone instead of killing himself?

Could it be that the two of you were chatting just now and there were sparks in the conversation?Is this just a matter of sympathy?
Eh~ It’s so disgusting!
Gavin saw that Xu Ruofeng was not only not afraid, but also had a look of disgust on his face, and his anger became even stronger. He wanted to kill Xu Ruofeng now, but Locke was still trying to persuade him.

"There are unwritten rules among nobles. Even if they defeat enemy nobles, they will rarely kill them. None of them dare to kill other nobles, let alone us businessmen."

"Instead of killing them and getting into trouble, it's better to take them to Ironthorn Town and let Baron Bach handle it by himself. Then it will be a matter between their nobles, and we can stay out of it."

"And don't we still have to interrogate them? Two people can always tell more information than one person, and they can also prevent them from making up random things, so you really can't kill this knight."

Gavin was a little hesitant when he heard this. What Locke said did make sense.Due to the existence of the hereditary system and the fact that nobles would marry each other, there were more or less connections between nobles.

Maybe your front foot is still fighting against the opponent, but your back foot realizes that the opponent is your distant cousin. This kind of thing is not uncommon among nobles.

Therefore, an unwritten rule has been formed among the nobles. Even if you defeat the enemy noble, try not to kill the other noble. After all, you may still be related by blood.

Even if it doesn't happen between you and him, it might happen between your family members, so why bother killing each other?

Of course, there is no need to hold back on the battlefield. If the opponent dies, it will only be considered bad luck for the opponent.

This special rule is also an important reason for the unity of the nobles. In their view, no matter how fierce the fighting between nobles is, it is their own internal matter, and outsiders should not even think of intervening.

Similarly, they can die at the hands of other nobles, but they must not be killed by outsiders, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of all nobles.

Therefore, although Rose Town is known as the "shame of the nobility" and is not favored by the nobles, other nobles will never allow despicable businessmen to kill the knights of Rose Town, even if these knights do it first.

If other nobles knew that they had killed the knights of Rose Town, even if they would not stand up for Rose Town, they would definitely put pressure on Guanhai City, which would be really troublesome.

Thinking of this, Gavin had no choice but to hold back his anger and said:

"Okay, then I'll do as you say, interrogate all their information first, and then hand them over to Baron Bach. This can be regarded as an explanation to Baron Bach."

"Watson, take them aside for interrogation, let them tell you the complete plan, and make a record as evidence."

"As ordered!"

Naturally, Watson didn't want to kill the warrior. He quickly nodded in agreement, then put away his sword and prepared to interrogate Xu Ruofeng.

But before he could move the sword away, Xu Ruofeng slammed into the blade.

With just a "thud" sound, the sharp one-handed sword easily passed through his chest. Xu Ruofeng, who was already seriously injured, was completely hopeless.

Watson stared blankly at Xu Ruofeng who was vomiting blood, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Xu Ruofeng, on the other hand, forced herself to speak and said:
"Don't even think about getting any information from me! Captain Tom, I'll go first. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the beauty of the roses in my hometown in the end. Katyusha, we can only enjoy the flowers together in the next life."

Xu Ruofeng wanted to say a few more words, but his body could no longer hold on and he had to go offline.

Chen Yan looked at Xu Ruofeng's performance with a blank look on his face. This guy had to show off his acting skills before he died.

What about the roses in my hometown? Are you kidding here? Why don’t you talk about the cherry blossoms in your hometown? Forget it, the real island country will probably never have cherry blossoms in the future. I heard that there are almost a hundred octopuses there. The claws are gone, and the cherry blossoms are choked enough to bloom.

Chen Yan shook his head helplessly, and then pointed the dagger at his neck. He was still wearing armor, with only his neck exposed.

He didn't want to be like Xu Ruofeng, who secretly took off the armor on his upper body and hit the sword with his chest in order to say a few more words, for fear that he would be unable to speak after cutting his throat.

Gavin naturally saw Chen Yan's actions, and he quickly shouted to Watson:

"Quick! Stop him! Don't let him die too!"

Watson also reacted when he heard the words, and immediately rushed towards Chen Yan. Unfortunately, his movements were still a little slow.

Chen Yan smiled disdainfully at them, and then slashed his own throat with a dagger.

By the time Watson rushed to Chen Yan's side, Chen Yan had already gone offline with his eyes darkened.

In just a few seconds, the two knights committed suicide one after another. This scene frightened everyone present.

What's happening here?Don't they say that most nobles, like their merchants, are greedy for life and afraid of death? Why did these two knights commit suicide when they said they would commit suicide?

The most important thing is that these two knights did not hesitate at all, and there was no expression of fear on their faces, which suddenly gave everyone a chill in their hearts.

What they were facing were two knights who were not afraid of death. Fortunately, they had not been pushed too hard just now, otherwise the other party would probably have backed them up before they died.

Gavin also felt scared. He thought Tom Knight was trying to scare him when he said he didn't plan to go back alive, but he didn't expect what Tom said was true.

Had Watson not rescued him, he might have been killed.

Thinking of this, Gavin couldn't help but look at Watson with grateful eyes, and his resentment towards Watson was much lessened. After all, Watson was his savior.

He originally thought about putting all the responsibility on Watson when he returned, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed a bit too much.

It's better to leave a small part of the responsibility to yourself and Locke. Watson only needs to bear most of the responsibility, and he will also speak for Watson, which is regarded as repaying the kindness this time.

There is no way, who can make yourself kind-hearted.

But what Gavin couldn't figure out was when did Baron Lancaster of Rose Town become so charming that he could make two knights willing to die.

Locke also couldn't figure it out, but what he couldn't figure out was different from Gavin. He knew that these two knights were Lane's men, and believed that Lane had enough charisma to make his men fight for them.

What he couldn't figure out was why Ryan wanted these two knights to commit suicide. Although this would allow them to die without any evidence and completely pour dirty water on Rose Town, it was really not cost-effective to kill two such outstanding talents for this. .

There are also death warriors in their Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, but they are ordinary people, and few Warcraft users are willing to become death warriors.

The reason is very simple. No matter how weak the Warcraft user is, he is stronger than ordinary people. They can easily find a suitable job, so why bother to be a dead soldier.

Therefore, there are very few Warcraft users who are willing to die as soldiers. It would be good for Ryan to have two. But for this batch of supplies, he actually asked these two Warcraft users to die, which is really overkill.

In particular, there was a talent like Tom Knight, who conquered the Warcraft at a young age, was also eloquent, and knowledgeable. After a few years of training, such a talent could become a knight captain, but Ryan actually abandoned him.

Locke felt heartache when he thought of this. These are all talents. Baron Lane is such a waste!

If Ryan knew what Locke was thinking now, he would definitely say secretly:

"Sorry, apart from these two people, I still have 48 people who are not afraid of death, and there will be more and more in the future! We can't defeat them all, we can't defeat them at all!"
