Three days later.

The country of Gusi was in great turmoil.

That morning, the courtyard where Sinnis was littered with corpses, and all the Sand Tooth people, including Sinnis, were turned into dry tools and spread across the entire courtyard, and the scene was very terrifying.

And just when everyone was shocked by this discovery, and was still speculating about who did it.

In the afternoon, Aresta was found dead in his home - he had been cut into countless pieces, leaving only a complete head, blood and entrails plastered all over the house.

A crystal-level powerhouse of the Sand Tooth Country and more than a hundred masters of the Sand Tooth Clan died unexpectedly, and the most important No. 2 person in the Gusi Country was also divided.

This reality shook everyone so much that most of the people in the entire kingdom of Gus were unable to react in any way.

But not all of them.

After Aresta was found in his home, Crowley, the lord of the country of Gus, who had been missing for many years and had almost become an invisible man, appeared, and he swore in public that no matter who killed Aresta, he would find out and break the other party's body to pieces.

At the same time, Lord Crowley also declared that the kingdom of Gus had entered a supreme state of war. One crystal-level powerhouse, twenty-two gold-level powerhouses, and more than a hundred silver masters in the Sand Tooth Country all died in the territory of the Gusi Kingdom. The Sand Tooth Nation will not listen to any of their explanations.

This kind of thing can be said to seriously irritate the Sand Tooth people, and they will definitely retaliate.

But just as Crowley issued the declaration of war readiness, something even more unthinkable happened.

Seven noble families, led by the great nobles Adristan, suddenly announced that Crowley was the real culprit who killed Aresta and Sinnis, and they wanted to avenge Aresta. And the Adellys' reasons are quite convincing.

Aresta is a third-level crystal powerhouse, and Sinnis is a crystal first-level powerhouse, how could these two people be killed silently? The only explanation is that the person who did it was not only a person they would not be guarded against, but also a person who was stronger than them.

Crowley is a crystal seventh-level powerhouse, and Aresta is extremely loyal and trusting to him, although Cynis does not believe Crowley, but if Crowley visits as the lord of the country, how can Cinnis think of using the other party to make a move?

Although there is no evidence, the Elili family's statement is still accepted by many people.

As a result, the country of Gus was in turmoil.

Almost overnight, the strongest of the Seven Inner Ring powers split into three.

On one side is the Crawley's self-proclaimed orthodox faction; On one side are the eight aristocratic forces led by the Addley family, which claim to be revenge factions; The last side is the smallest, more secure, neutral centrist faction. The Orthodox faction controlled all the slave armies and fifty and a half of the army of the Returning Empire, while the revenge faction was the master and private army of the eight nobles and forty percent of the army. The middle faction is led by a neutral nobleman who controls the last half of the army.

Overnight, the Orthodox and vengeful factions were bloodied, more than 4,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of slaves died in the battle, and when the blood stained the ground of the ancient kingdom, the desolation of the end became the dominant color of the once most powerful country.

Day by day, night by night, the situation has become extremely chaotic.

Tang Dou and his entourage were naturally involved. Tang Dou's first reaction was naturally to pack everyone back into the Source of Life space, and with the help of Xiao Chunzi and Po, he could come and go freely in this chaos.

But just as he was ready to act, a group of slave refugees fled to his location.

It seems that the slaves in the slave breeding house escaped in the chaos, most of them have been completely reduced to reproductive tools, and there is no concept of escaping at all, but they have a group of slaves who have just been bought back this time, and these slaves still have the instinct to be human, and they saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they fled with the others.

More than 700 people escaped, more than 200 died in the chaos, and there were less than 500 people left, and they fled to the courtyard where Tang Dou was.

Because during the chaos before, there was an army that wanted to storm Tang Dou's courtyard and was burned into ashes by a ring of fire by Xiao Chunzi, so no matter which faction's army was in such chaos, they all subconsciously let go of this dangerous place.

As a result, the street where Tang Dou's courtyard was located became the quietest and safest place in the chaos.

People are avoiding disasters and avoiding disasters, and when those slaves were running around, they saw that no one was killing people here in Tang Dou, so they naturally ran here.

Tang Dou was naturally not polite to those guys who came to kill people, but it was impossible for him to attack these slaves.

And with so many slaves hiding where he was, he had to give up on his original intention of leaving—he didn't dare to guarantee that there were no spies or anything like that, and he didn't have time to check them one by one, and if so many people disappeared from him in an instant, it would only cause more trouble.

So after discussing with Sha Yunyue, he simply didn't leave, and set up a security line on the entire street, letting Ah Bao and Xiao Chunzi guard each end of the street, he sat in the middle, any slaves or others who came to take refuge, he gladly accepted, as long as he didn't mess around here. And anyone who dares to pay attention here, that will be killed without mercy.

So the night passed, and the street where Tang Dou's courtyard was located was home to a staggering 2,000 refugees, most of whom were slaves, but also some minor nobles—warriors who had retired for some reason, or slave owners of a certain caravan.

More than 2,000 people are crammed into a small street, which is really crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and most people can only sit on the spot, let alone lie down, and it is not so easy to occupy more positions when sitting.

At first, these little nobles still wanted to make something special in the crowd and let those worthless slaves in their eyes give them a place, but Tang Dou managed order in the crowd in Zhan Gewei, no matter who it was, as long as they made trouble, they would be killed immediately.

Special times, special means. At this time, if someone makes a problem, the whole street will instantly become a slaughterhouse.

Therefore, Tang Dou would rather use violence to suppress it than end up in the same chaotic place as outside.

When the night passed, the whole night of fighting finally stopped temporarily.

The Orthodox and the Revanchist have temporarily fallen silent, no matter what reason they have for going to war, but they are not all a bunch of crazy people, the two sides are actually no different in strength, the Orthodox regular army is already larger, and there are almost all the war slave troops, and the Orthodox have a big advantage in terms of troops.

But the revenge faction also has its own advantages, and although their troops are much smaller, they have two major advantages.

One is that there are many masters, and the composition of the seven great countries is very similar, that is, the aristocracy, although the lord of the country has high rights, but to put it bluntly, it is the strongest of the many nobles, and they need the help of other nobles to rule the entire country.

The nobles in Arsa are masters, and if a nobleman is not a master, he can only be the kind of small nobleman at the bottom, and if he wants to become a big nobleman, he is embarrassed to greet people if he can't get more than a dozen gold levels.

Therefore, the eight nobles made trouble together, which means that they almost took away more than eighty percent of the middle and high-level masters of the Gusi Kingdom.

In addition to the family to which the lord belongs, the orthodox faction also has the support of three nobles, and these four families together have an advantage in combat effectiveness at the top, but the middle and high-level cannot be compared with the revenge faction at all.

And under this advantage, there is a second advantage, that is, the officers of the army, especially those at the grassroots level.

In a world without an electronic network command system, if an army wants to have sufficient cohesion and command and combat capability, it is not enough to have a supreme commander, and a large number of grassroots officers are like the service ports of the electronic network system.

What's more, there is not even a high-level military commander on the Orthodox side, and Crowley seems to be a pure force lord, otherwise he would not have handed over everything to Aresta in peacetime. There is no powerful supreme commander, and there are no grassroots officers who can perfectly control the army, and although there are many troops of the orthodox faction, they basically rely on force to fight indiscriminately.

So after a bloody night, they left behind countless corpses, but they could only fight to a draw with the revenge faction.

At dawn, the fighting finally stopped.

Both sides need a new combat readiness integration, and at the same time, they also need to find ways to strengthen their own strength in order to make this internal strife end quickly - they know very well in their hearts that if this internal friction continues, the other six countries will not watch, at least the Sand Tooth Congress will fight as soon as possible - they understand the reason, but no one can stop.

So the centrist and Tang Dou, a special figure, became the target of both sides' attempts to win over.

Because the revenge faction was headed by the Adley family, they did not come to Tang Dou, but to the centrists. But it was Crowley, the lord of the country, who came to see Tang Dou in person.

"Lord Crowley, I really didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances!" When Tang Dou heard that Crowley was coming, he came to the street to meet him - it was really inconvenient to enter inside, and there were refugees everywhere.

Crowley is a man with a resolute face and a full beard, who looks like an iron-blooded general who has more than a lord.

Mankind!

He has short straw-yellow hair that stands on end, like a hedgehog head. His eyes were sharp, and he was wearing a battle armor with a black main color.

"Nicholas, what kind of conditions will allow you to join me?" Crowley is extremely direct, and even a little unhearted.

But it is understandable, this is about to ruin the country and the family, who still has the heart to play official?

"How much can you pay?" Tang Dou asked.

Since the other party is so direct, he will also be direct.

"Aresta location!" Crowley offered a sky-high price: "I don't like to manage the country, as long as you help me repel those rebellions, and the possible attacks of the other six countries in the future, so that the Gus country will not fall, then after the matter is completed, the former position of Aresta will be up to you!" ”

"You're not afraid that I'll kill you then?" Tang Dou smiled.

"It doesn't matter, if you can do it, I'll do it!" When Crowley said this, he didn't know how serious he was.

At this time, Tang Dou was a little frightened: "Mr. Lord, if that's the case, why don't you just give up the position of the lord?" ”

"Because I need the property and security of a country to support my cultivation, I said, I am only interested in cultivation, my goal is to hit the top of the diamond, and the crystal level is far from satisfying me!"

Well, this is an extreme martial idiot - if what he says is true.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Lord, the conditions you have offered are quite tempting, and I have to admit that I am already tempted. But are you thinking too highly of me? Tang Dou spread his hands: "I'm just a platinum ninth-level, and I'm an outsider!" ”

"Aresta once told me about you. If you are an enemy of us, then you must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise even he will not be sure to deal with you. Since Arez is so jealous of you, then I can try it too! "It seems that Crowley really has a lot of trust in Aresta.

Tang Dou laughed at himself: "Being so valued by Mr. Aresta is really stressful!" ”

"So, you agreed?" Crowley looked at Tang Dou.

"What if I don't agree?" Tang Dou shrugged.

"I'll leave at once, and then I'll use all my power to kill you first. Because Aresta said that it is terrible for you to be an enemy. I will not leave a formidable enemy to those traitors! Crowley replied like a robot.

"You're not a good negotiator!" Tang Dou laughed.

"I wasn't here to negotiate! I'm just here to tell you about my decision! Crowley analyzed his face, seriously convincing anyone that as long as Tang Dou shook his head, he would immediately mobilize all the armies to kill Tang Dou.

"Well, one last question!" Tang Dou sighed: "Do you know who killed Aresta and Sinnis?" The two of them aren't that easy to kill, are they? If there is such a strong man on the enemy's side, I can't stop it! ”

"I don't know who it is, but whoever it is, I'm going to block it!" Crowley's eyes sharpened.

Even if a martial idiot is like him, and his most trusted subordinate is killed, he is not unangry. This can be seen yesterday by brazenly swearing by the spirit of war.

"Well, Mr. Lord, who is least like a lobbyist, you 'convinced' me. We made a deal. But I have a small request? That's the people here, you have to follow us to a safe place! Tang Dou pointed to the refugees behind him.

Crowley frowned slightly: "These people are worthless!" ”

In times of war, slaves without combat effectiveness are worthless.

Crowley's observations were simple and crude.

"Mr. Lord, if you really plan to cooperate with me, then I hope you can support any of my decisions, just as you supported Aresta in the first place!" Tang Dou said, "You will know later how valuable these people are!" ”

Crowley nodded: "Good! (To be continued.) )
