Leaving Hammer City, Renard went directly to Viscount Hubbard, he did not deceive Earl Shelley, he did have business with others, but it was not an arms business.

Everyone else is driving tigers and devouring wolves, and this time he is going to have a pack of wolves to devour tigers.

Viscount Hubbard is one of the more powerful forces in the Anti-Demon Alliance, but this territory is still many times weaker than Earl Shelley's.

The main city, Haber Chengdecheng, is only a few dozen hectares in size, and originally inhabited by six or seven thousand poor people, but with the outbreak of the demonic disaster, the population has now exceeded the 20,000 mark.

When Renard entered the city, he saw that the streets were crowded with people, and they seemed to be extremely noisy.

However, these people who passed by him were all yellow and thin, as if they hadn't eaten enough for many years, and they thought that the years after the outbreak of the demon disaster would have caused enough harm to the people here.

Less than fifty meters along the main road, two emaciated boys blocked his way and asked timidly, "Venerable knight lord, do you need someone to guide you?"

Renard looked down twice, threw out two pieces of white bread casually, and asked, "In which direction is Viscount Nelson's castle?"

The two boys took the white bread, immediately devoured it into their mouths, and said indistinctly: "The castle of the Lord Viscount is not in the city, but on the northeast slope. ”

As they spoke, they raised their hands and pointed in unison to the northeast.

Renard nodded, threw a few copper plates to the other party again, and then rode away.

After he left, the two boys looked at each other, turned and ran towards the tavern not far away, and when they entered, they whispered to the little girl, "Half a bottle of blue enchantress." ”

After answering the code, they made it clear from beginning to end what they had met with Renard: "There are two of them, all on tall horses, and they are now heading to the castle of the Lord Viscount. ”

Viscount Nelson's castle is rough and simple, with tall walls, like the Earl of Edward's Castle, which is two sizes smaller, and is located on a cliff, with only a narrow mountain road leading to the castle, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Lei Ye came to the castle to identify himself, and Baron Nelson immediately greeted him personally: "Baron Renard, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are becoming more and more heroic now." ”

The opening remarks of the aristocratic meeting are always so simple that there is nothing new about them.

Renard turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Are you still satisfied with the gift I gave you a while ago?"

Viscount Nelson smiled even more when he heard this, and nodded busily: "Satisfaction, naturally satisfaction, if you don't lend a helping hand in time, I'm afraid Viscount Hubbard will face the danger of famine." ”

The two men chatted with each other and slowly paced into the castle.

In the living room, Viscount Nelson ordered someone to make tea, and then dismissed the servants around him, and asked softly, "I wonder what Baron Renard is here for?"

asked so on his lips, but in fact, he had already begun to think in his heart: Could it be that he is here to ask for money?

Renard seemed to have guessed the other party's thoughts, and the first thing he said dispelled the other party's concerns: "I am here for the affairs of Earl Shelley." ”

He didn't say much nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Recently, many lords have reported to me that Earl Shelley has put the materials that should belong to the Anti-Demon Alliance into his pocket, is there such a thing?"

When Viscount Nelson heard his inquiry, he immediately looked angry, didn't care about any aristocratic etiquette, hammered the armrest of the sofa and said, "I'm angry when I mention this." ”

Renard didn't answer, waiting for the other to continue.

Viscount Nelson took two sips of tea and looked fierce: "The original purpose of the establishment of the Anti-Demon Alliance was to help each other and benefit each other in order to survive this disaster, but ......"

Viscount Nelson tells the story from beginning to end.

The Anti-Demon Alliance was established two years after the outbreak of the Demon Calamity, led by Earl Shelley, with the help of several other Great Lords.

The alliance originally had more than two hundred members, including three-quarters of the lords of the Southern Wilderness County, but as time went on, more and more territories were conquered by demons, and now only two-thirds of the number remained.

The Alliance is a vast area, bordered by the county of Meredith to the west, the Barren Lands to the south, the Earl of Ian to the east, and the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to the north.

The total population of the alliance is close to 600,000, and its overall strength ranks first among the major forces in the southern part of the kingdom.

The purpose of the alliance is simple: to cooperate with each other and tide over difficulties together.

However, as the situation continued to deteriorate, the resulting inequality in the distribution of supplies continued to arise, and the allies became bitter.

When an ally is attacked by a demon, most lords choose not to help.

At first, several talkative bigwigs in the alliance continued to mediate conflicts, after all, they still had to rely on the name of the alliance to make a name.

After two years of hard maintenance, there was a gradual estrangement between the bigwigs, because the materials were getting less and less, and there were many problems in distribution.

Viscount Nelson looked angry and said hatefully: "Some time ago, Earl Shelley actually rejected my proposal to apply for the allocation of food on the grounds of insufficient supplies. ”

He clenched the cup in his hand hard, and his nails were a little white: "It's hateful, I only paid 20,000 tons of grain last year as the alliance's reserve materials, and it was so inexplicably gone." ”

Renard raised an eyebrow when he heard this, but did not expose the other party's lies.

20,000 tons of grain? If the other side really has 20,000 tons of grain, how can it be handed over to the alliance?

As he spoke, Viscount Nelson's expression became more and more angry: "Actually, I should have understood a long time ago that the alliance is just a tool used by Earl Shelley to collect money and strengthen his strength. ”

He drank the tea in the cup, moistened his throat, and said with a slightly soothing face: "In the past two years, he has relied on filling his own pockets and swallowing an unknown number of materials that should belong to us, and what I know alone is an extremely staggering number. ”

Renard asked at the right time: "Have you received the supplies I sold to the Alliance two months ago?"

Supplies?two months ago?

Viscount Nelson was stunned and shook his head blankly: "I don't know about this matter. ”

Lei Ye pretended to be puzzled and frowned: "It's strange, I sold you 100,000 tons of grain at the market price, and you didn't hear any rumors just after the transportation was completed a while ago?"

It took a long time for Viscount Nelson to come to his senses: "Who did you make a deal with?"

Renard knew that he was questioning, and replied, "Naturally, it is Earl Shelley, and he is the only one who can call the shots for the Alliance." ”

As he spoke, he took out a few yellowed receipts from the space ring: "The receipts are all here, and he also bought a lot of firearms in the name of the alliance the day before yesterday, don't you know?"

Viscount Nelson took the slip and looked at it for a long time, his face turned from white to red, from red to purple, and finally completely clouded.
