The Behemoth of Axavier Chapter 144: The Identity and Mission of the Wind Thief
"I'll carry you. Jacob said as if he had woken up from his silence again.
Chi Bone was not pretentious, so the few people sped up and found Vanessa and Gail. After the large army converged, under the leadership of the elves, everyone hurried to a valley surrounded by dense forests on the outskirts of the ancient ruins forest.
"Thank you again, Terran warriors. If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have had a chance to save our people.
And welcome to our long-term gathering place, where you are the first foreigners. Vanessa was grateful again.
As the captain of the clan, Gail naturally let him speak: "The elves are friends of the bones, and naturally they are also friends of our storm team, so don't say words of gratitude."
I am also ashamed of what the scum of my people has done, and I hope you do not hate all the Terrans because of this. ”
After all, the Terrans were on the side of evil in this matter, so Gale and the others did not feel glorious on their faces, even if they did the right thing, Gale still felt ashamed.
Vanessa sighed and said, "Alas, our true identity is actually the rescue team of the Elven Empire, which cannot be recognized by the Empire for diplomatic reasons, so we can only act in the Orion Empire by disguising ourselves as thieves.
Over the years, the Yorkah caravans have been capturing our people, and unlike other slave hunters, the Yorkta caravans are stronger, more financially and more well-manned.
As a result of our investigation, whenever the slave catchers of the Yorktto Merchant Regiment made a gain, they were sent to an underground organization called the 'Brotherhood'. Not only did they hunt elves, but there were also some other races, which was what set the Yorkhau merchants apart from other slave hunters. ”
The elves are not the kind of domineering and powerful race, they believe in the goddess of life, respect life, and naturally do not want to cause a cruel war again because of diplomatic disputes.
Vanessa's introduction stunned everyone, and of course everyone had heard of the "daimyo" of the Brotherhood.
"Brotherhood? How dare those scoundrels do they dare to do slave business?"
Gail frowned, having lived in Verbo City for so many years, of course he had heard of this well-known underground evil force organization in Verbo City.
The Brotherhood has a number of casinos and entertainment venues, and secretly controls most of the car and horse business. There are many thugs under his command, and it is said that there are many masters, and even some nobles are reluctant to provoke such gutter rats.
However, the capture of slaves was strictly forbidden by the Orlan Empire and even the entire Eastern Continent. After all, the race war a thousand years ago has left Orion languid for hundreds of years, and even now it is being used as a negative teaching material by all races.
How can a small underground evil force organization have the courage to provoke the majesty of the empire, isn't this looking for death?
This thought was churning through everyone's minds.
"Ahem, they don't dare, it doesn't mean that others don't dare, maybe they're just the private 'hounds' of some big people. ”
Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse voice came, and Gail looked up to see Ryan walking with some difficulty on an improvised cane. His vocal cords were also somewhat damaged by the heat, and he struggled to speak.
Ryan was extensively burned by the explosion of the Pillar of Fire, and although he was out of danger after the "repeated bombardment" of the Elven Healing Technique, he was still seriously injured.
After all, Gale is only a civilian, and even if he has been in the mercenary world for a few years, he can't catch up with the young leader who has been in the mercenary group since he was a child. After all, a powerful mercenary group like the "Golden Lion" is the favorite object of friendship and cooperation among merchants and nobles.
Vanessa nodded and continued, "Ryan is right, this 'Brotherhood' is definitely not as simple as a small gang on the surface. After more than a year of investigation, we learned that there is definitely a powerful behind the Yorkah Merchant Group and the 'Brotherhood'.
The man behind the scenes has been controlling the organization in the shadows, and the Yorkhau Merchant Order can only be regarded as the periphery of the 'Brotherhood'. This is also the news that our companions who were lurking in the 'Brotherhood' received a year ago, and this time the action of the Yorktau merchant group was also because of their advance notice, which made us prepared.
I just didn't expect them to be so well prepared. Therefore, I suspect that our companion who is lurking in the Brotherhood has been exposed, and perhaps this information was deliberately revealed to him in order to catch us. ”
Vanessa hadn't arrived at the Yorkta Merchant Group before she was so well prepared for this operation, and if it weren't for the help of righteous men like Gail, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Captain, I've already used Asuka to teleport, informing them of something that is likely to be exposed, and asking them to evacuate temporarily and wait for news. Just then, Prima walked over and whispered to Vanessa.
Vanessa nodded with some apprehension and said, "Very good, although the main force of the Yorkta merchant group has been destroyed, it is not completely destroyed, and someone will definitely inform the 'Brotherhood' secretly." We must inform the Brotherhood before they get the news. I hope that guy Kaylar doesn't make a fool. Vanessa muttered worriedly. doctor
"Your companion has been lurking in the Brotherhood for a year, and there is no clue at all?" asked Gale.
Vanessa sighed and replied, "That man behind the scenes is very cautious, and it is said that only the two leaders of the 'Brotherhood' have seen him. I thought that if I caught Salas or Ochif this time, I would be able to find out who was behind the scenes, but I didn't expect ......" Vanessa's eyes showed a little disappointment.
"Then catch those two leaders, just ask who is behind the scenes, and everything can be solved?"
"This year, the Yorktu caravan captured fifteen of our clansmen, but we never found out where they were being held.
We can only keep waiting, waiting for them to sell our people. However, our men lurking all over the city of Huerbo have not been heard of them selling the aliens, not only the elves, but also the other aliens.
I must not touch the two leaders until I find my companions, and if I do this time, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to find the person behind the scenes, but even my companions will not be able to save them. ”
Vanessa said what she had been worried about, as long as they didn't rescue their companions for a day, they would have to hide in the shadows all the time, which was their task and their responsibility.
The Bone frowned and asked, "Can't you use diplomatic means to get the official Aulane involved? After all, this is the problem of the Terrans, and it is also their responsibility?"
Chi Gu really doesn't understand, it is obviously the responsibility of the Orion Empire, but it has to be borne by others. If this was done by the people of EXavier, Chi Gu believes that the Green royal family will definitely use all their strength to find out.
Vanessa spread out her hands and said with a helpless expression: "Although the elves and the human race are considered offensive and defensive alliances, the relationship with the royal family of the Orion Empire has fallen to the freezing point because of the war in fifteen hundred years. ”
Jacob interjected: "His Majesty the Emperor won't be so stingy, right? Even if it is for the sake of interests, the royal family should take the initiative to make friends with the powerful elves? After all, it was their fault back then, maybe you should try." ”
As a native of Orion, Jacob still has a lot of faith in his homeland. Especially now that it was a time of war with the Shadow Empire, he didn't believe that a country would give up the interests of the big picture because of the grievances of a thousand years ago.
Cindya suddenly sneered, and said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "It's not as simple as you think, I think you should have heard that in that war fifteen hundred years ago, the Orion Empire killed two Sacred Domain powerhouses, right?"
Cindya saw the three Terran friends, you look at me and I look at you, with a question mark on her head, so she said with some pride: "Those two Sanctuary powerhouses are both surnamed Aldrich. ”
Bone and Gale glanced at each other, both seeing a look of shock in each other's eyes. No one expected that the two Sanctuaries who died in that war would actually be from the royal family.
They suddenly understood that this was not only a great disgrace and blood feud for the Aldrich royal family, but also weakened their ruling power in the Ordrich Empire.
Even though the Aldrich royal family is sitting on the wealth and manpower of a country, the powerhouses of the Sanctuary can not be amassed by wealth. It's no wonder that the Orion Empire will be beaten by the Shadow Empire, and it needs an alliance of nations to maintain its rule.
Vanessa preempted Syndia and replied, "That's why we can't ask for help from the Orion Empire, and even tell them that it may have unknown implications. ”
Vanessa is not like Cindia, who is very arrogant and has no scruples to belittle the holy domain powerhouses of their race in a disdainful tone in front of several Terran friends.
However, Vanessa still did not say a word, and she always suspected that Aldrich royalty might be behind it.
"If there's any news from the elves, please let me know, either the Legation of AXavier or the Imperial College can find me, and I'll do my best, trust me. Chi Gu patted his chest and said very seriously.
"Yes, and me, it would be nice to be able to get rid of a cancer for Verbo City. Gail said with a smile.
"The elves and Azevir will always be friends, this is what my father told me, and our generation will also pass on this friendship, so I must be counted as one. Ryan's hoarse voice seemed to be less cynical and more mature.
"And one more of me, I'll also leave contact information, and you must notify me if there is news from the elves, if you don't dislike me for being too weak. Jacob also said.
"Thank you!"
Vanessa didn't know what to say, but the warmth in her heart scorched her tear ducts like the sun in the sky, making the tears flow uncontrollably.
The other elves were no better, and Winnie wept when she saw her brothers and sisters in tears.
