Chapter 161: Black Clouds Crush the City (I)

While Reald was thinking about what to do in his study, on the other side, Aureliano had already run back to his manor and came to the protection of the servants at home.

In the manor, Alcatio looked at his only son, who was so frightened, that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sir....... Eaton, the butler, called out cautiously.

"Looks like they've been working for a few days," Alcatio muttered to himself, and then instructed Eaton, the butler, "you go and entertain my guests first." ”

Seeing this, the housekeeper Eaton hurriedly took the order to leave.

Alcatio thought about it for a moment, then took out the phone bug and called William.

……

On the balcony of the manor, William was sitting on a chair on stilts, staring at the gloomy sky, and the thick dark clouds obscured the sky, as if they would fall from the sky at any moment and crush the entire city.

A member of the Morgan Pirates pushed open the door, came to William's ear, whispered to him about the farce that had happened in the aristocratic quarters, and quickly retreated, and after a while, the phone bug in his hand rang.

On the other side of the phone, it was the Home Secretary, the Earl of Reild, to whom William had only one word: "Let it go, as long as we don't forget our agreement." ”

A few minutes after hanging up Home Secretary Reild's call, Alcatio called again, and William repeated: "Just do it, just don't forget our agreement." ”

When the call with Alcatio was over, William's fingers tapped lightly on the arm of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then dialed Harden's phone again, and when he was connected, he only said two words:

"Lockdown!"

……

After Alcatio put down the phone bug, he was somewhat relieved, he first asked Chloe to come, the two of them exchanged words, and finally thought for a while, and then called a servant to help Aureliano, who was injured and only briefly bandaged, and the four of them went to the palace together to meet King Norton I.

After meeting Norton I, Alcatio directly ordered Chloe to present some "evidence" of Home Secretary Reil's corruption and behind the scenes to support the entire city's liquor trade, and brought out his injured son as a bitter ploy, describing the incident as a long-planned revenge by Home Secretary Reald.

Norton I seemed very surprised, but the Minister of the Interior, Reild, was also one of the four ministers of state, and what Arcatio had in his hands was enough for the other minor nobles to crucify them, but it was far from enough for Reald, and the most important thing was that Norton I himself was also a little hesitant to deal with Reald, who had also been in a high position for a long time.

Alcatio accepted it when he saw it, did not do much entanglement, and forced Norton I, this accusation was just to bury a thorn in Norton I's heart, to make a reasonable explanation for Reald to be charged with the crime of disorder later, and also to force Reald to act as soon as possible.

When Arcatio entered the palace to ask to see Norton I, officers of the Guard had already run to the house of Home Secretary Reald to report the news.

In the conference room, Count Reald looked at a large group of nobles in front of him with a solemn expression, there were civil officials, there were military officers, all officials who opposed Alcatio, and the people in the room heard the news that Alcatio had run to the palace with Chloe and Aureliano, and their faces were not very good-looking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy is closing in, we can't sit still any longer!"

……

"Vice Dean, is there really no one left? If everyone is gone, the things left behind will definitely be stolen!"

In an almshouse in the slum, a young female worker said to Honoré.

Honoré, the vice president of the almshouse who used to act with William, crossed his hands on his hips at this time: "I said, let's go, no one is allowed to stay!"

The female workers reluctantly glanced at the direction of the warehouse, these female workers were basically born in the slums, and knew that life was not easy: "But the things in the warehouse ......." ”

"You don't need to worry about this, the above has spoken, Kalmar City will be very chaotic these days, you hurry up and go to the military camp near the dock to hide, don't ask for trouble!"

The employees of the slum almshouse are under William's order, hiding in the barracks near the docks, these agencies usually save lives in the slums, every move is eye-catching, their activities naturally can't hide from the other people in the slums, especially most of the employees grew up in the slums, there are many relatives and friends in this land, so the news that Kalmar City is about to be in chaos quickly spread in the slums.

The more the news spread, the more outrageous it became, and the reasons became more and more "detailed", among which there were people who added work and materials, and finally soon lost their original appearance, some people said that there were high-ranking officials in the aristocratic district who wanted to commit trouble, and some people said that William and his backers were brought down.

There are all sorts of theories about what is true and false, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that William and his armed forces have indeed disappeared from the ghetto, and in order to test the truth of the news, the leader of a criminal gang specially instructed the thief to go to the almshouse and steal some things, but the thief returned unharmed, and informed the almshouse warehouse that there were many items that were too late to take away.

Did this demon king of the mixed world really slip away?

This phrase hovered in the minds of all the leaders of the criminal gangs in the ghetto.

Before they could cheer and celebrate William's departure, they noticed that the ghetto seemed to be suddenly chaotic, as if the place had lost order as soon as William and his men had left.

There were gangsters who robbed everywhere, attacked criminals from different gangs, some set fires, people who fought for almshouse supplies turned into fights, and even people with ill intentions began to incite the inhabitants and encourage them to storm the aristocratic districts.

Danbiel stood on the high slope, looking at the slums that were gradually becoming riotous, the corners of his mouth twitching at the sneer, and behind him, several Morgan Pirates crew members dressed like gang members.

……

On the bow of a merchant ship, the navigator put down the binoculars aimed in the direction of Kalmar City, and said angrily: "These damn pirates, usually they just blackmail, but now they suddenly don't let others dock, and they can't resupply, it's too domineering!"

The bearded captain next to him patted him on the shoulder: "Forget it, we can't afford to mess with them." ”

In the distance, the ships of the Morgan Pirates were still hovering in the surrounding waters, and the pirate flags painted with evil smiling skulls fluttered in the wind, constantly driving away any ships with any intention of approaching Kalmar City.

And at the docks in Kalmar City, there were a group of unlucky companions who were even more unlucky than this merchant ship, and they were directly blocked at the dock by the Morgan Pirates' warships, and they were neither allowed to leave nor disembark.

A navy warship looked at the bravalist pirate ship, and the soldiers on board hurriedly dialed the phone of the commander who was still on the shore.
