Chapter 1431: Naval Battle (4)
When everyone couldn't help complaining, Maude suddenly laughed: "Haha, this is a good opportunity, I estimate that Mingyue City has not received the news that their young master has died, I am afraid that they are still waiting for their partners to come to shop, and the lord is now attacking suddenly, which will definitely catch them off guard."

"And don't forget the rogues in Bright Moon City, as long as we ask the lord to issue an order that "as long as you make meritorious service, you can become a retainer of the lord of the new city", I'm afraid that all the rogues will participate in the attack. ā
Hearing Maude's analysis, the morale of Maude's subordinates immediately boiled, and the worry that had just arisen about the huge gap between the enemy and our forces completely disappeared.
Maude deserved to be the leader, and immediately began to give orders: "You, immediately go to Nangong's house to report the situation, laugh at this guy Nangong Dun, and ask him what he was doing when we were working hard here."
"Hehe, if it weren't for the fear that the lord would blame, I really didn't want to remind him, because if I made a great feat, maybe the new city lord would be me."
Hearing this, Maude's men were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes immediately lit up.
Of course, they knew that the Southeast Peninsula was ostensibly not allowed to be inserted by outside forces, but everyone knew that many city lords were spokesmen for outside forces.
If the boss of his own family is appointed as the lord of the city, then he will also rise!
Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, especially the expressions of the subordinates who were sent to inform the Nangong family, Maude immediately said solemnly: "Don't think about some crooked ways!" If you deliberately make a ghost, I will destroy you before the lord punishes me! As long as we do things honestly and make great contributions, will the lord still treat us badly?
"So you don't have to think about anything else, as long as your boss and my credit is greater than others, can the position of city lord still belong to someone else?"
Seeing that his subordinates recovered, Maude continued to give orders: "You go to find out the intelligence of the navy, you go to find out the information in the city, you go and secretly spread the news that the lord is willing to recruit retainers, don't make a big fuss, just let those leaders know."
"Also, go and gather men to lurk near the gates! Fast! Act now! After Maude's men departed quickly, Maude smiled and walked in front of the tavernkeeper.
The tavern owner shuddered, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Lord Maude, I don't know what you command?" ā
"Boss, you heard what I and my brothers said just now, right? Did the news reach the city? Maud said with a smile, and the rest of his men immediately surrounded the boss when they heard this.
The boss hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Boss Maude, I don't know what you said, I have nothing to do with the city, think about it, if it has a relationship, do I still need to be the boss here?" I've already opened a store in the city! ā
Maude smiled, "If you hadn't taken out the hero's blood, I wouldn't have thought you had anything to do with the city."
"But you took out the hero's blood, and there are so many bottles, and I just happened to know that this hero's blood was just brought in from the Freedom Alliance in the city. Now that the city hasn't started selling it yet, you already have it here, so you wouldn't say that you're a dock tavern owner and are eligible for a quota for this kind of wine, right? ā
"I ......" The boss saw that Maude and the others had a fierce look in their eyes, and said pitifully: "Boss Maude, even if I have something to do with the city, I haven't spread the news, will you let me go?" As long as you don't kill me, you can lock me up! ā
Maude shook her head: "I don't have this spare time, but if you are useful to my lordship......"
The boss, who was originally taken aback by Maude's previous sentence, immediately said: "Useful and useful, I know that all the owners of the dock tavern are the henchmen of the city lord!" ā
Maude suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder there is not a single rogue rebellion that can succeed." With a wave of his hand, his subordinates immediately stabbed their weapons into the boss's body.
Looking at the boss's look of disbelief, Maude smiled: "I'm sorry, if you don't say that all the tavern owners are the henchmen of the city lord, then I won't kill you." ā
"Send someone to watch out for the owners of the dock tavern, and if they make any noise, they will be destroyed immediately. A few of you left to clean up the aftermath. As he left the tavern, Maud gave such an order to his men.
Unbeknownst to Maude, however, as soon as he walked away, he left behind his men in charge of the aftermath, and because of their instinct to kill and set fire to the corpses, they immediately habitually set the tavern on fire.
More than 200 kilometers inland from Mingyue City, there is a cottage in the mountainous area that belongs to the boundary of the fuzzy forces.
In the mountainous areas of the southeastern peninsula, such cottages are endless.
For the local forces, such cottages are all subordinate local tyrants who listen to propaganda and do not listen to tunes, and some powerful cottages even throw away the superficial affiliation, and directly show that the carriages and horses are competing with the local forces. The result is either to destroy or to maintain a confrontation situation, of course, there will be occasional lucky people who enter the main city from the cottage.
This cottage is not affiliated with Mingyue City, and like many powerful cottages, it is a confrontation with Mingyue City.
At this moment, in the main hall of the cottage, Nangong Dun was kneeling on the ground, and opposite him were five old men who were also kneeling.
"Elders, I don't understand, why don't you agree to my request, but instead send the secret guard to the Mingyue City Lord, you must know that the Mingyue City Lord is an obstacle to the rise of my Nangong family!" Nangong Dun said through gritted teeth.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a family elder, I'm afraid he would have scolded him a long time ago.
When he gave up his life and forgot about death, he went out to find a backer, but he finally found it, and when he came back, he found that the family had taken refuge in the enemy, this situation did not make Nangong Dun vomit blood directly, and Nangong Dun was already psychologically enduring.
"The head of the family, the times are different, if our Nangong family wants to rise, we can only rely on the powerful, and if the powerful accept us, we can only send out secret guards, although we understand your feelings, but ......" The great elder in the middle said in a quiet tone.
Nangong Dun couldn't help but interrupt: "Since you all understand this, why do you want to take refuge in Mingyue City?" Didn't I say I'd find a backer? ā
"Master of the Tun family! Your so-called backer is a major in the Augustian Empire? The major whose territory is in the wilderness? Hmph, to tell you the truth, if you hadn't found such a backer, our Council of Elders wouldn't have decided to take refuge in Bright Moon City! The second elder said coldly.
"Master Dun, don't say that our Elders will reject your proposal, think about it, a little major from the outside world, even if he fully supports us, where can he support it.
And taking refuge in the Mingyue City Lord is different, the Mingyue City Lord has promised us that as long as we send the secret guards, we will completely divide this land within a radius of 100 miles into our fiefdom. As long as we annex the nearby cottages, it will not be difficult for the Nangong family to rise again. The third elder said excitedly.
Nangong Dun asked with a smile: "Didn't you read my report?" Although they have the rank of major, their strength is no worse than that of the city lord of Mingyue. ā
"Master Dun, we have all read the report, but we don't believe the information above, how can a major have thousands of cavalry, you must know that such a major is on our side, just a flag book." The Fourth Elder sneered.
Nangong Dun's heart was shocked, the Council of Elders actually didn't believe the report of the head of the family, although the situation of this report didn't seem to be true, but without even asking, he directly concluded that it was false, what does this mean?
"The secret guards have been sent out?" Nangong Dun asked suddenly.
"No, this ritual of surrendering to Bright Moon City still needs to be carried out by the head of the family. We have already sent a letter to Mingyue City for the return of the head of the family, and I believe that in a day or two, the messenger of Mingyue City will arrive, so please ask the head of the family to prepare. The Great Elder said.
Nangong Dun was not polite, and got up and left here directly.
After Nangong Dun left, the Fifth Elder, who had been silent, suddenly said, "The head of the family has a big opinion about us. ā
"Hehe, which head of the family will have no problem with our Elders? But it's no wonder who makes us all contenders fail to play. The second elder smiled.
"If the head of the house knew what we were going to do, I'm afraid he would be furious, right?" The three elders laughed and said.
"Whatever, anyway, as long as the secret guard is given to the Bright Moon City Lord, each of us can get a large piece of fiefdom, and it doesn't matter if this elder position is there or not.
"And if it weren't for the elders and the head of the family to issue orders at the same time, those secret guards would listen, and I wouldn't bother to pay attention to the head of the house." The four elders said disapprehantly.
"Yes, such fertile land is enough for us to live a good life, so we don't have to work day and night for the Nangong family." The fifth elder said expectantly.
The Great Elder sighed and said, "Although I am a little sorry for the Nangong family, we can't be blamed, who said that the rights of the elders cannot be passed on to the next generation." ā
The second elder immediately disagreed: "Great Elder, that's not what you said, although the reason why we sent the secret guard out was for the reward of a thousand stones of land for that secret guard, didn't we also get the land right for the Nangong family for a radius of 100 miles?"
"And the Nangong family is still able to cultivate secret guards, and they have not lost anything. Not only did he not lose money, but he also gained a large piece of land that was justified and made a lot of money. Even if the land of 5,000 stones falls into our hands, we can be regarded as worthy of the Nangong family. ā
"Yes, are we easy, all the hard work is for the Nangong family, what's the point of getting some hard money?" The other elders responded one after another, and the Great Elder thought for a moment and nodded with a smile.
