Chapter Eighty-Six: The Final Battle I
But the strange thing is that the garrison will deal with other battles in Astor City in accordance with the law. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and when it comes to the struggle between the two families, the garrison often turns a blind eye, as long as it doesn't affect the rest of Astor City, it basically doesn't matter. As a result, rumors began to appear in the city that both families had bought off the castle guards, and this situation would occur.
Although the rest of the city will not be directly attacked, how can the battle between the two families not affect the others at all. As a result, some timid families also began to leave, and these families began to sell assets, and these assets became the latest targets for the two families to compete for.
And so Astor City fell into chaos.
No one noticed that there were some new faces in the garrison of Astor City, as attention was drawn to the battle between the two families.
People are beginning to become disillusioned with the garrison, and they hope that the state government will soon announce the city lord to stabilize the situation in the city. However, the state government has been slow to take a stand. So there were rumors that because Astor City was about to be upgraded to the state capital, the Cox state capital had scruples and was waiting for the empire's decision. But who knows when the empire will come up with its opinion.
So people were disappointed, and more people started thinking about leaving.
And as long as someone leaves, the assets they sell are the focus of contention between the Hunter family and the Quinn family.
In the end, the population of Astor City, which had a population of several hundred thousand, plummeted by a third. These reductions were all due to the departure of the original four families of Astor City, most of them to Baleno, and a small number to the western suburbs of Astor City.
There are now two groups in Astor City, one headed by the Hunter family and the other by the Quinn family. The family, which was separated from the two groups, had no place in the city at all. The two groups have gradually risen from the secret fighting in the past to the open fighting. Business competition has relegated to second place, and friction and conflict have risen to first place. Today you beat my people, tomorrow I will take revenge. As a result, the conflict gradually escalated and became more and more intense. Everyone doesn't know what's going on, but they can't suppress the fire, because every conflict will be played up in the city. Winning or losing is a small matter, but face is a big matter.
Finally, after more than a month of friction, an explosive news came out of the city that day, Quinn Terry was visiting a brothel and had a jealous fight with one of the Hunter family's sisters-in-law, and Terry severely injured the Hunter family's sister-in-law. This is the first direct confrontation between high-level personnel since the clash between the two groups, and many people speculate that something big is going to happen.
At this time, it was also a year since Sun Xiang traveled to this world, and it was more than nine months after the start of the western suburbs industry of Zhang and Bai. Originally, Sun Xiang only wanted to fight for five to six months for the Bai and Zhang families, but now he has won nine months, which makes Sun Xiang very satisfied, because their preparation is more thorough.
*************************************
At this time, in several new adventurer towns, such as the town of Oar, people are talking about a liquor that has just been released today.
The shops of the Zhang family and the Bai family in Astor City began to sell a liquor for sale today, the price is not high, but the wine is very strong, and it is very suitable for adventurers to drink when they go out on adventures. It can drive away cold, relieve fatigue, and sprinkle on the wound also has a certain bactericidal effect, which is simply a must-have for going out on adventures. The only fly in the ointment is that it is a limited sale for everyone, which makes people itch in their hearts.
Every day, there are long queues of people waiting to buy wine outside the shops of the Zhang and Bai families, and people are talking about how long this phenomenon can last.
**********************************
At the same time, Baleno City also saw the sale of this wine, which was sold by the Tuoba family and the Huyan family. The only difference is that they not only sell the Adventurer's Town wine, but also some high-end wine, the most expensive of which can be bought for 15,000 gold coins a bottle, which is said to be called the Eden series. And this bottle is said to be made of a kind of "porcelain", which is the first thing to appear on this continent.
I heard that there was a wine that sold for 15,000 gold coins and that kind of "porcelain", so people went to feast their eyes, but they were attracted by the exquisite porcelain bottle, and only then did they know that there is something called "porcelain" in this world. Then people found other products of this porcelain in the shops, from small daily necessities to large home decorations, all of which were made of this porcelain.
Soon people fell in love with these porcelain products, and it became very respectable to have one of them.
**************************************
The Sun business alliance in the capital, under the "pressure" of peers, finally revealed the mystery, it turned out that the wine and porcelain were produced in Astor City.
As a result, the various merchant alliances with the headquarters of the empire headquarters in the imperial capital that were the first to get the news began to act almost simultaneously, sending the most elite merchant alliance procurement personnel to Astor City. They had to negotiate the procurement of these two commodities as soon as possible, and the Sun family had already seized business opportunities in the capital, but there were still opportunities in other cities of the empire.
Only those top-ranked business alliances didn't seem to be in a hurry, they were not in a hurry to go to Astor City, but were in close contact with the second master of the Sun family.
The compromise of the Sun family was already "expected" by everyone. Because the Sun family's monopoly behavior had been sued by the emperor, the top business alliances even threatened to boycott the Sun family's goods. The emperor of the empire was even more "furious" about this, and summoned the head of the Sun family several times, asking the Sun family to disclose information about wine and porcelain to maintain the stability of the empire's economy. The last time I heard that the emperor was going to take back the title of the Sun family.
So the teleportation array to Cox was lively again. Unlike last time, when the magnates of the capital used the teleportation array, this time the teleportation array was used by merchants. The merchant's greatest characteristic is that he is not short of money, which makes the guards who guard the teleportation array happy, although they are still in the strange and remote east, what is going on?
There are also special groups of people who are either very fanatical about wine or the new porcelain, and they also go to the city of Astor as if they were on a pilgrimage. They have finally found their home, where they want to find the true meaning of wine and porcelain, and devote themselves to the love of wine and porcelain, even if they sacrifice everything to do so.
Not many of these people can afford to use the teleportation array, so they can only go to Astor City through other means. In the face of the love of their hearts, the distance in space cannot stop them from moving forward at all. So these people became seeders, telling people about the magic of wine and porcelain along the way, which not only accelerated the spread of wine and porcelain in the empire, but also drove more people to march towards the city of Astor.
Almost overnight, wine and porcelain became a hot topic of discussion throughout the empire except the capital, although many people have not yet seen these two magical things.
*********************************
In the Imperial Study
The emperor looked at the material in his hand with great satisfaction. In the past few months, the Quinn family has probably withdrawn about 40 million funds, which is a huge amount of money, and can only be turned over by magic savings cards. This finally revealed the third flaw, the Imperial Intelligence Service had found a clue to the flow of funds.
40 million, even for the empire, is a very considerable expense, enough to make it difficult for many second-rate families to continue. Not only did the mysterious organization reveal its flaws, but even the Hunter family in Cox City revealed its flaws. Some secret illegal things began to be exposed, and according to the laws of the empire, it was enough to exterminate the race. Old Black had already apologized several times in front of the emperor, and even had the idea of killing him himself. He now hates his grandson Blake Shaw even more, not only assassinating Sun Zhongkai is an extraneous branch, but even the selected chess piece Hunter family gives him an extraneous branch.
The Emperor was also drafting secret edicts, one of which was directed against the Hunter family in Cox. This is a matter outside the chess game of Astor City, and it needs to be handled by the emperor himself.
In addition to these satisfactory things, His Majesty the Emperor also has troubles.
Those captured in the empty stone mines were secretly escorted to the capital. Although the great swordsman had a hard mouth and didn't explain anything, there were always a few soft bones. The alchemist, in particular, is a representative of soft bones. Although he did not have a high status in that mysterious organization, he was relatively special, and the intelligence department also deduced a lot of valuable things from the details of the alchemy of that mysterious force. As a result, these people are much more valuable than the Benny family leaders who were captured last time.
His Majesty the Emperor once again saw the seriousness of the matter. Not only did that organization have to control the cities of the Empire, but it also had its own armed men. This "twelfth team" turned out to be one of their squadrons, which was confessed by those soft bones. As for how many such squadrons there are, those soft bones don't know, and the great swordsmen who know don't give an account at all.
Now Emperor Deco is glad that he designed a trial that didn't allow the organization to take Astor safely. Without this trial, it is estimated that the remote city of Astor would have fallen into the hands of this organization. At the same time, he was very happy about Sun Xiang's "resurrection from the dead".
Throughout the entire trial process, Emperor Deco was very sure that if it were not for Sun Xiang, the sons in law of those super families would not have discovered the existence of that organization, let alone be the opponents of the Quinn family, and Astor City would definitely fall into the hands of the Quinn family.
Sun Xiang not only uncovered the true face of Baleno City, excavated the mysterious organization, but also defeated a squadron of the opponent, and discovered an empty twilight mine for the empire.
