Just when An Baichen was thinking about how to use these undead breaths next, far away on the Eske continent, something closely related to An Baichen also happened.

Late at night, Esker Continent, Sand City, Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened.

"How is it, have you received any specific news, and by what means did Nigel subdue the entire Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce?"

Leonard sat in his chair and looked at the middle-aged knight.

They have been paying attention to the movements of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce all day today, and Leonard has even prepared the knight brigade and the city guard army led by the senior knights, just waiting for the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce to move out in one fell swoop, capture Nigel strongly, and then torture the whereabouts of the 10,000 secret stones.

Unexpectedly, in just two hours, the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce has undergone great changes.

Leonard's expected picture of Nigel being alone did not appear, and before dark, news came from within the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce, announcing that Nigel had become the president of the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the people of the entire Sand City thought that Nigel's return to the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce headquarters this time must be more than lucky, after all, the factional struggle within the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce is obvious to all.

When the news of the change of ownership of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce came, the chambers of commerce and caravans in the entire Sand City were shocked, and the large and small forces were dumbfounded.

"Oh my God, how the hell did Nigel do that?"

"What kind of magic did he use? Could it be that a wizard is helping him?"

"What about the Knights of the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce, and how easily they failed?"

In the streets and alleys of the Sand City shrouded in night, there were shocking discussions in taverns and hotels.

Behind every consortium is the support of strong force, the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce has a knight order that is not weak, how can it be so easily settled by Nigel alone?

Leonard in the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened also couldn't figure out this truth, and he frowned: "How the hell did Nigel do it?"

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and there is no way to know. ”

The middle-aged knight knelt on the ground with a face full of shame, he really couldn't find out Nigel's means and secrets to subdue the Kenta Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

"Is it because of those 10,000 secret stones?"

Leonard frowned and thought, no matter how he thought about it, no matter how rare ten thousand secret stones were, Nigel could not master such a powerful force in just two hours, which was enough to subvert the entire Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce.

Due to Nigel's amazing performance, Leonard was a little unsure of what kind of hole cards he had, which made the always cautious Leonard very aggrieved.

Leonard pondered for a while, then asked lightly, "Is there any news from Edla?"

Most of the chambers of commerce in Sand City focused on Nigel, ignoring Edra who had quietly left, and they all thought that Edra was worthless now that she had handed over 10,000 secret stones.

Only a small number of people still pay attention to Edra and are aware of Edla's departure.

Leonard had already sent spies to follow Edla's convoy when Edra was leaving, trying to find Edla's gathering place as soon as possible.

"Lost it. ”

The middle-aged knight was extremely ashamed, he lowered his head and said, "Lord Duke, I sent two teams of spies, but they were all lost. ”

"Edla's convoy was like the best hounds, they seemed to be able to detect the stalkers, and they went around the Gobi and went to many dangerous areas, and the spies suffered heavy losses, and only two people came back. ”

"By the time I sent more spies, Edla's convoy quickly disappeared into the Gobi, leaving behind false traces along the way, and it was impossible to continue tracking. ”

The middle-aged knight felt that he was so incompetent that he could even lose such a big goal as a team.

Hearing the words of the middle-aged knight, Leonard's face was full of iron, he was silent and looked at the middle-aged knight with gloomy eyes, the middle-aged knight trembled, and hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at the eyes of the duke.

He had lost too much today, and the Duke must have been very dissatisfied.

The middle-aged knight shuddered at the thought of the harsh punishment that the Duke had inflicted on those who made mistakes, and his heart became even more terrified.

"Forget it. ”

Leonard sighed and waved his hand: "It's not your fault, since Edra can have 10,000 secret stones, he must have an entire secret stone vein." ”

"In the Eske Continent, anyone who can own an entire secret stone vein is not weak, and they all have their own secret methods, and you are not to blame for losing the convoy. ”

In the end, the middle-aged knight is not to blame for this matter, he is already very cautious.

All this is to blame Leonard for being too greedy, he wants to have 10,000 secret stones that Nigel has, and he also wants to have a whole secret stone vein behind Edla.

However, he didn't get either Nigel's Secret Stone or Edla's Secret Stone Vein today, which was seriously inconsistent with Leonard's plan.

"Lord Duke, what should we do now?" the middle-aged knight breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly suggested: "Lord Duke, why don't we send Lord Yadli and the knight brigade to directly enter the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce to capture Nigel and force him to find out the whereabouts of the secret stone." ”

At least for now, Nigel must have 10,000 secret stones in his hands, but I don't know where Nigel hid these secret stones.

Whether it is the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened or the large and small forces in Sand City, they have been searching for a long time, and they have turned Sand City upside down, and they still can't find the secret stone that Nigel hid.

"Lord Duke, I think he must have hidden the secret stone in the headquarters of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce, Nigel has just taken over the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce, and the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce at this time is at a critical moment of wealth consolidation and reorganization. ”

The middle-aged knight whispered, "If we send troops at night, it may have a miraculous effect." ”

"Nope. ”

Leonard shook his head and rejected the middle-aged knight's proposal, he said: "I still don't know what Nigel's hole cards are, and rushing to kill it will definitely cause damage to the Awakened Merchant, you first send someone to keep an eye on all the movements of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce and Nigel." ”

"Yes. Although the middle-aged knight didn't understand the duke's intentions, he still respectfully agreed.

The Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce was not weak in the first place, and now with a Nigel who can't see the details clearly, Leonard doesn't want to tear his face with the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce at this time.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Leonard does not make a move, and according to the intelligence information he has so far, there is no uncertain risk of making a move against Edra or Nigel.

Since both are risky, it is better to go ahead and take the side that has the most benefit.

Leonard's attention was always on Edla, and Nigel was an optional target for him, but not a priority.

As long as he takes down the secret stone vein behind Edla, the king will send a large army, and a mere Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce is just a thing in the palm of his hand.

"Wait. ”

Leonard walked to the window, looked at the moonlight, and muttered to himself: "Calculate the time, there should be news from the royal capital." ”

Just as Leonard finished speaking, the servants outside the door hurriedly came in, knelt down and whispered, "Lord Duke, a messenger has come from the royal capital, saying that there is important information for you. ”

Leonard immediately turned around and said in a deep voice: "Let him in!"

A low-level knight who was dusty soon came in, and the first time he saw Leonard, he quickly knelt down, put his hands on his chest and said respectfully: "Lord Duke." ”

"Say it. ”

Leonard looked at the low-level knight and asked, "What information do you have for me from the royal capital?"

As early as when Edra first came to the Sand City, Leonard used a fantasy item made by a wizard to contact the royal capital overnight to explain the general situation, and at the same time asked the ministers of the royal capital to help find out all the news about Edla.

Every time Leonard appeared in Sand City with a traveler or merchant who couldn't eat the details, he did so.

With the powerful intelligence network of the Ruin Forest Kingdom, it is enough to find out the details of most people, and he can provide detailed information to Leonard every time, which is also an important reason why he can always beat the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce in Sand City.

In business competition, sufficient intelligence often plays a decisive role.

"Lord Duke, this is what the King asked me to hand over to you. ”

The low-ranking knight took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Leonard, who took the parchment with a serious expression.

It must be a great deal of information to make the king pay attention to and submit it personally, could it be that this Mr. Edra has a lot of background?

Leonard unfolded the parchment and looked down at it, his expression becoming odd.

This Baron Edra actually has no background at all, according to the historical records of the aristocratic classics of the Xusen Kingdom, he is a descendant of the "Glorious Knight", the founder of the Xusen Kingdom.

In the Xusen Kingdom, the families of the founding heroes are now almost in decline, and the Edra family is also one of them, and the rich territory originally owned by the Edra family has been repeatedly replaced by the successive kings of the Xusen Kingdom, and gradually arranged to the depths of the deserted Gobi.

The Gobi land outside the Sand City is vast, and although it is nominally the territory of the Rusen Kingdom, it is actually a barren land that is full of dangers.

The distribution of the territory here already announced that the political career of this noble family had come to an end.

Mr. Edra is the lord of the deep Gobi territory, a lowly baron nobleman, and there is not even a decent army of soldiers in the territory, just a group of farmers struggling to survive on the Gobi.

"It turned out that he had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all the time. ”

Leonard muttered to himself, his heart was not filled with anger after being deceived, but full of excitement and surprise.

Now that we know the details and identity of Baron Edla, the next thing is much easier.

"He may have recently discovered a secret stone vein near his territory, so he rushed to Sand City to sell the secret stone, but because he knew that his true identity and strength could not protect the secret stone vein, he pretended to be profound. ”

Leonard lowered his head and thought: "There is also a group of strange black-robed servants around him, and their strength is probably a little stronger than that of low-level knights, this should be the family knights left by the Edra family, right?"

After all, the "Shining Knights" were powerful back then, and I heard that there were also secret training methods, although the Edra family is now in decline, it should not be a strange thing to have more than a dozen family knights.

No matter how much the Edra family declines, the "Shining Knight" should have some hole cards to pass on to future generations, right?

Leonard's expression became more relaxed as he thought about it.

These black-robed people are all family knights trained through some family secret methods, although they are stronger than ordinary low-level knights in terms of strength, they are definitely not the opponents of middle-level knights.

The hierarchy of knights is very strict, and there is absolutely no legend of a low-level knight defeating an intermediate knight.

"Good. ”

The smile on Leonard's lips grew stronger as he looked at the map on the reverse side of the parchment, which detailed the location of Baron Edla's domain.

"The secret stone vein you obtained is the property of the Ruinson Kingdom, and you have forgotten the loyalty and glory of the Shining Knight back then, but I have not forgotten. ”

"Let me renew the Edra family's loyalty to the kingdom in place of your ancestors!"

Leonard glanced up at the middle-aged knight and said in a deep voice, "Go and inform Yadli that we will send troops overnight!"

"Huh, sir, where are we going?"

The middle-aged knight was stunned for a moment, his expression was confused, he didn't know the content of the information on the parchment.

"Go to Baron Edla's domain. ”

Leonard squinted his eyes slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely cruel: "Go and retrieve the secret stone vein that originally belonged to us for the king!"
