Chapter 203 Negotiation

This night.

Except for Yerette, many people in Xiangmu City didn't sleep well either.

The sudden explosion in the northwest suburb of the city disturbed many people's dreams, but fortunately it was just this one.

And the soaring flames made many people wonder if the arsenal had been attacked, because the Xiangmu City Legion had a warehouse storing artillery shells in that direction.

There are many people in Xiangmu City who are not afraid of death, and there are several waves of people or forces who quietly run under the cover of night to check the situation.

Underground organizations, exiles, mercenaries, nobles...

But they were all stopped. The leader was Brigadier General Fabio, the commander of the cavalry regiment of the Xiangmu City Legion.

Someone saw that Brigadier General Fabio looked very poor, his face was pale, and he looked a little miserable in the night.

Others saw Brigadier General Fabio followed closely by two knights wearing strange black armor.

Of course, most people's eyes were focused on the horses loaded with goods, because those with good eyesight discovered that they contained gold coins, gems, top spices...

Hot-eyed, greedy, wanting.

But no one dared to move. The two blocks near the explosion were sealed airtight by soldiers and knights.

I don't even dare to break in by force. Although money and silk are attractive to people, they also have to have life to spend them.

The most tyrannical and unreasonable force in the entire Xiangmu City is the Xiangmu City Legion. In this place where the emperor is far away and in chaos, offending the army will lead to death.

The next morning.

The dark clouds dispersed and the sky was blue with scattered white clouds floating in it.

Curiosity drove more people to the explosion point.

There are clusters of flower bushes planted on the grass outside the Savoy Manor. There are some red and white roses everywhere, and blue fringed lilies, swaying slightly in the wind.

On the grass, among the large flowers, there were dark red, solidified blood clots everywhere. The smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of roses, and drifted far and wide with the breeze.

"When did the Savoy family offend the army and be killed by them like this?" Lieben said angrily.

He lived not far from here. After being woken up in the middle of the night, he quietly observed the military activities nearby. He didn't dare to come out to check, but he ran over as soon as dawn came.

"How dare they! Do you think that no one will notice because the moon is dark and the wind is high?"

"How do you know it was the army? They were probably bandits and horse bandits who fled here."

"It's the army! I saw it with my own eyes yesterday!"

"I saw it too. I was drunk last night and accidentally fell asleep on the street. After being awakened by the explosion, I saw the army transporting gold coins from the manor in horse-drawn carriages!"

The speaker's fat face was still full of alcohol, and the strong smell of alcohol in his mouth made his words very credible.

"These people are so heartless and indifferent!"

"It's so cruel, I didn't even let a chicken go."

"It's really cruel!"

"I want to write to His Majesty to report the Xiangmu City Legion. Not only are they corrupt and corrupt, they also commit many evil acts. They kill and set fire to the imperial nobles. They are simply the biggest cancer in Xiangmu City!"

The warden Negher, who arrived belatedly, was filled with indignation and excitement after seeing the tragic image of the Savoy Manor.

As a representative of a group of officials who have been bullied for a long time, Neghel has been dissatisfied with the army for a long time, but he has never found a good opportunity. Now he was finally caught.

"Everyone, please don't leave yet. I will write down everything you saw last night. These are all evidence."

"Fighting against evil forces is everyone's responsibility!"

"For the sake of the harmony and beauty of Xiangmu City, everyone..."

Neghel was talking vigorously when he suddenly realized that there was no movement behind him, something was wrong. He turned his head and saw that no one was there, even his subordinates were gone.

Looking at the drunk man who quickly disappeared into the corner, he opened his mouth and the expression on his face froze instantly.

……

South of the city.

The villa estate of Lieutenant General Frye, commander of the Xiangmu City Army.

In the majestic and empty hall, the curtains hang high and the base of the ceiling lamp is inlaid with colorful crystal stones.

A tall, short-haired man sat on a dark, red-patterned sofa with an expressionless face.

The short-haired man wore a black waistcoat, and his muscles were ferocious. The exposed shiny white muscles on his arms were like metal, glowing with a hard and terrifying color.

There were several people sitting on the sofas on both sides of the short-haired man, with slightly mocking and angry expressions on their faces. "You said that you led my army to help the Soros family move the gold coins for most of the night?" The short-haired man spoke slowly, his tone was extremely flat and emotionless.

Ephesus and Fabio stood on the white floor between the sofas. Facing the questioning of Lieutenant General Frye, the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Frye, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and finally nodded honestly.

"Aphesis, you are not lying and want to monopolize the Bach family's property, are you? Where did the Thoros family get the totem warriors from, and they are all knights, and there are four more!?"

A slightly mocking tone sounded from the side, and the speaker was a handsome man with long blond hair.

He was only about twenty years old, with rare purple eyes. He was wearing a slim-fitting white samurai uniform and only wore a silver-patterned leather sheath on his right hand.

"Diego, use your head before you speak, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander." Ephesus countered with great disdain without looking back.

Diego chuckled and stopped talking. He knew it was impossible, he just wanted to disgust Ephesus.

"Fabio, you said you saw at least five knights from the Soros family here, not including Ent?"

"Yes, two of them were with me the whole time." Fabio glanced at Lieutenant General Frye and replied helplessly.

He and Ephesus were on duty last night.

After Ephesus left, he received a report from the soldiers patrolling Seaman Street near the Savoy Manor, and then immediately rushed to the Savoy Manor with a battalion of soldiers.

Finally, he worked as a porter under the guard of two black-armored knights of the Soros family.

During this period, he wanted to strike more than once, but he felt the terrible oppression of the black-armored knights at close range, so he had to carry the goods honestly and did not return until late at night.

Lieutenant General Fry touched his short hair, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"So the five black-armored knights on your side, plus the one-eyed Ent, are six knights."

He looked at Ephesus again, "And you met four knight-level totem warriors at the Bach family's manor. Together with Rudy and Fleet, there are also six knight-level warriors."

"Including Sauron, that means there are now a total of thirteen powerful knight-level warriors in the Thoros family in Xiangmu City?"

"Thirteen..."

Since arriving here, Diego has been immersed in the joy of Ephesus being a porter and has not listened carefully. When he heard Lieutenant General Frye's words, he took a deep breath.

The hall suddenly fell silent and silent.

"I don't believe it. Did you see it wrong?!" An Jiade asked in disbelief.

Thirteen powerful knights, even the average Duke family does not have so many family knights.

The huge Crescent Empire only has a dozen duke families, not counting the royal family. The only ones that can stabilize the Soros family are the top five families.

"I was stabbed when I stepped on a horse, and my intestines were almost picked out. Are you telling me that I saw it wrong!?"

Ephesus immediately became anxious when she heard Anjiade's words. She unbuttoned her shirt on the spot and showed her belly.

Everyone looked over.

On his white belly covered with black hair, a black line with thin black scabs evenly divided his chest into two halves. The black line was very straight, as if it were drawn with a ruler.

Diego gasped again, partly from the shock of the wound, but mostly from the lush chest hair of Ephesus.

"Okay, no need to argue."

Lieutenant General Frye suddenly spoke loudly, "Whether this is true or not, you will find out if you go to Soros Manor."

If it is false.

That happened to eradicate the Soros family in one fell swoop, take all the properties of the Soros family, including the Bach and Savoy families, as their own, and then escort Sauron to the capital to face trial.

if it is real……

His expression became a little solemn.

Not long ago, he sent Ephesus to Soros Manor to ask Ent for their shares in the spice processing factory.

If it is true, then with the way the Soros family behaves, they will probably settle the score with him soon.

Facing thirteen knights, unless he hides in the military camp for the rest of his life, he has no chance of seeing the sunshine outside alive.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Frye's face not only became solemn, but also became ugly. He even felt faintly uneasy in his heart and hesitated whether to go to Soros Manor to test the authenticity.

Because what the two Ephesians said seemed to be true.

I didn't know what to do for a while.
