Chapter 235: The City at Dusk
But apparently the Roshan-like Tatum City Lord didn't take the former's threatening words to heart, the latter just chuckled, drove the fat on his face, and then shook a little, and his greasy eyelids didn't even lift it, he reached out and picked up the coffee table next to him, and Pip, who was standing on the side, took a sip of the teacup he had refilled.

"Hehe! I thought it was something terrible, but Fassbender was referring to it!"
After putting the teacup back on the coffee table, the Roshan-like Tatum City Lord spoke again.
"Quite simply, they can be said to have been found by me, or they can be said to have not. The reason is very simple, they are going to leave through the magic teleportation array tonight, and the destination is the imperial capital!"
"Are you satisfied with this result? If you are not satisfied, then please ask your Majesty directly as a Legion Leader!"
The Tatum City Lord looked at Captain Serol with a smile, but spat out a sentence that made the other two people present shudder.
"I see! Alright then! That's it! I'll go back and prepare, and if there's a need to defend the legion, don't be polite!" As he spoke, the commander of the Serol, who had sat still, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Pip, you send the Commander of Serol for me, I'm not feeling well, so I won't send it!"
"Yes, Lord of the City!" Pip, the butler standing beside him, hurriedly replied, and then he bowed respectfully to the Captain of Seriel, who had already risen. "Commander Serial, please here!"
Under the leadership of the butler Pip, the captain of the Serol Legion walked out of the palatial room without looking back, but the chief of the Knight Fassbinder in armor turned his head and glanced deeply at the Tatum City Lord who was lying in a chair with his eyes closed, and then strode after him.
As if feeling that the three of them had left the hall, the Tatum City Lord, with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, staring at the open door, his narrow eyes flashed with a strange light, and after a while, Pip, the butler who had gone to lead the way, turned back, poured a full cup of tea for the former, and stood quietly beside him.
The city lord of Tatum, who was lazily lying in a chair, still sat there quietly, as if he was thinking about something. And Pip, the butler who knew his temper well, also didn't speak, just stood quietly aside, because from the conversation between the two today, he learned too many unexpected things, and these things should not be known by a third party, so even if he is an extremely close subordinate of the former, he needs to be extremely careful.
"Sophia's people are really careless, but, forget it, Pip, go and meet them! Don't make trouble for me again, it's not a peaceful day. The city lord of Tatum, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Yes, my lord!" the butler Pip hurriedly replied, and then he was about to leave, but before he could walk out of the room, the voice of the Tatum City Lord came from behind him.
"I remember that this year's military allocation has come down!"
"Yes, sir!"
"On the day of the military payment, you find a reason to press me back a few months!"
"Got it, sir!"
It was in this room that a simple question and answer between the two of them decided the lives of all the soldiers of the Garrison Regiment of Conyounis City in the next few months.
How many soldiers are waiting for the day when the military budget will be issued, because some of them need this military money to have a good meal, some need it to pay off debts, and some need it to support their families, but all of this has become unknown and invisible with the words of the Tatum City Lord, which will have a great impact on the morale of the entire garrison legion, which will undoubtedly add a lot of burden to the management of the commander of the Serol legion.
Obviously, this is the Tatum City Lord's counterattack to the repeated questioning of the Commander of the Serol Legion, which has been done silently and without leakage, and no one can find any handle at all, which is the most tragic part of the simplest power game.
Captain Serol, who was riding back to the barracks, frowned and listened to the reports of those around him, unaware that a big trouble was coming to him in the coming months.
And now he himself is inexplicably upset, and the reason for his mentality is the news he just learned from the people around him.
"Are you sure you read that right?"
"Absolutely, it's definitely the rumored Einsatzgruppen formed by the Balance Division of the Arbitrator of the Sophia Mercenary Regiment, Kleifat!"
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the news I just got a few days ago was confirmed today, tsk, it's really interesting, what's going on recently, among the legendary mercenary groups, three of them have already made big moves, is there something going to happen!" Captain Serol, who was immersed in this amazing news, muttered to himself while looking down and thinking.
"Commander, what should we do, do we really just leave it alone?Wouldn't it really cause a big mess to let a team with such terrifying combat power revolve around the city of Conyounis, especially today's situation?" Looking at Legion Commander Serol, who had been muttering to himself for a long time, Knight Captain Fassbender who was beside him couldn't help but ask.
"Forget it! If the rumors are true, then this team known as the Clayifat Special Forces, just stand up and easily destroy a large group of soldiers with one hand, to deal with them, at least half of the army needs to be dispatched, and the best result is to drive them away, so let them go!" In Fassbinder's repeated urgings, Commander Serol slowly expressed his thoughts and concerns.
The Knight Captain Fassbinder, who was following him, immediately closed his mouth when he heard this, because this kind of consequence had already appeared in his mind, but he didn't want to face it.
As Captain Serol said, it is impossible to eliminate such a powerful army of mercenaries in a city without paying a terrible price.
It is precisely because the members of these legendary mercenary groups have such powerful destructive power, so their whereabouts have been seen by some people with intentions from time to time, and their every move has made some people vigilant, so the Knight Captain Fassbinder, who obviously has great power in his hands, does not dare to rashly have too much conflict with a team of a legendary mercenary group that is on a mission.
"But...!" bowed his head and pondered for a long time, before Captain Serol spoke again, but he was only halfway through his words, and then he closed his mouth hesitantly, as if hesitating.
"But what, my lord?" looked at the hesitant Captain Serial, and the Knight Captain Fassbender couldn't help but ask.
"You lead a group of people, keep an eye on them for me, remember, don't conflict with them, no matter what they do, you are only allowed to watch, not to meddle, do you hear!" After hesitating for a long time, under the latter's questioning, the commander of the Serol Legion spit out such a sentence with a little hesitation.
"Well, why is that, my lord!" Upon hearing this, the Knight Captain Fassbender asked with a reluctant face, how could he give up this opportunity to fight the legendary mercenary group with his warlike nature.
"It's nothing, I'm just feeling uneasy!—" Looking at the unwilling Knight Captain Fassbinder, Captain Serial slowly spoke his thoughts. "Besides, don't you think it's really a coincidence that these people came at the right time!"
"Could it be that last night's disaster was caused by their team?" Captain Fassbender's head spun rapidly at the former's words, but then he remembered a fact that frightened him. "You're saying that their team is here to slay dragons?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, I'm sure that this Clayifat task force is definitely not simple, and it is not a problem to take out a lower-level dragon, even if it is a high-level dragon, it is not without the ability to compete. Looking at the Knight Captain Fassbinder, whose face had changed drastically, Captain Serol slowly expressed his conjecture, but his hand holding the reins unconsciously tightened. "And you also saw the strength of that giant dragon last night, do you think its rank is limited to the upper rank of the dragon!"
"Oh my God, are these people crazy?" finally heard the answer he wanted from the mouth of Captain Serol, and Knight Captain Fassbender stared blankly ahead, but kept muttering something to himself.
"Hehe, don't underestimate those mercenaries, some of them are far more powerful than you think!" Captain Serol, who knew the temper of the former, spat out such a sentence meaningfully.
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and Captain Serol originally meant to be a member of the Cleiffat Special Forces, but the Knight Commander Fassbender always had in mind the figure of a burly young man who claimed to be a magician, and before he knew it, the figure of the latter became mysterious.
After leaving the city gate, the members of the Sophia mercenary group who had just clashed with the Fassbender knights also hurried to the road, but this time there were two people walking in front of the group, one slender and slender, the other burly, as if he was carrying something behind his back, and he was holding his cloak bulging.
And the latter was reprimanding the former in a deep voice.
"Costina, how many times have I said, don't meddle in things, but you just don't listen, count for yourself, how many things have you provoked!"
"People know it's wrong!"
"So what did you do wrong?"
"Ahh
"You....!!"
The questions and answers of the two were not loud, but they were enough for everyone behind them to hear, and when they heard the girl's innocent way of admitting their mistakes, the people behind them lowered their voices and laughed.
"That's enough! what's funny, speed up, we have to hurry, there's important things to do, if it's too late and an accident happens, it's bad!"
As soon as these words fell, the people behind them quickened their pace, and quietly and quickly advanced towards a certain place in the city.
Almost at the same time, in a small inconspicuous building in the northeast corner of the city of Conyounis, a young man holding a fan made of jade was shouting anxiously to the person in front of him.
"I don't care what method you use, activate the teleportation magic array for me, I must leave tonight!"
"Yes, Chief!"
After getting the answer he wanted, the young man holding a fan made of jadeite took a long breath, and after the person in front of him left, his whole person seemed to have no bones, slumped in the chair and stared at the ceiling with his eyes blank, and subconsciously rubbed the ring on his finger.
But he didn't know that at a corner in the distance of this small building, there were eight or nine people hidden in the shadows, led by a young girl in a long white dress, and the person standing behind him with an excited face was none other than the young bandit leader that Kratzer suddenly saw at the city gate, Bellatem.
"Sister, it looks like the small building in front of you is where Tabla's arrogant guy is hiding, so let's do it now?"
"No, do it now, the city lord's guard will come soon, and if you attract the garrison legion, it will be even worse, wait until night, and be in action!"
"Okay, just listen to my sister!"
Then, the woman in white waved the staff in her hand, and the air seemed to be fluctuated by an invisible hand, and there were bursts of ripples, and after a few twists, their figures completely disappeared into the dark alley, like hunters, patiently waiting for the night to come.
First, this place is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are few people coming and going, and second, there is the magic protection released by the woman in white, and these people have safely persevered until the night falls, and no trace has been found.
Looking back at the gorgeous and heavy gate of the City Lord's Mansion that had been closed, and then turning his head to look at the street where the sun was already setting and the lights were lit up, Krazer and the dwarf Camosiddo glanced at each other, and sighed helplessly, they both saw a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes.
