Chapter 38: The Southern Regions (3)
Justes's face also sank: "When?" β
"Three days ago, at the tavern in Issos. The reason for www.biquge.info was that several Immortals made a joke about the defected Scolerus, but unfortunately, next to them sat a few Shadow Captains who had just been transferred to Issos, who were not in high positions, but they had all been trained under the Captains, and the two sides immediately fought and almost overturned the tavern. β
Justes' expression softened slightly: "It's okay, it's just an ordinary bar brawl, are there any casualties?" β
"Not at the time." Priest Wendir said. "Those ten-master commanders were quite measured, but they just beat the Changsheng Army severely, all of them were skin injuries, and the most serious thing was that they were knocked out a few teeth. But the one who had his teeth knocked out happened to be Tonaros's nephew. β
Justes groaned, "The captain who is famous for protecting his shorts? β
"Yes, on the night of the incident, Tornarus blocked the door of the Shadow Wing's headquarters with a full two hundred men, demanding the surrender of the murderer. How could the people of the Shadow League agree? So Tonnarus didn't wait for the ten-captains who came out with their hands tied, as he expected, but the Shadow Corps who poured out of their nests. β
Justus suddenly raised his hand and motioned for Priest Wendir to stop reporting, and he slowly stood up with his hand on the table, pacing back and forth behind the table without saying a word.
"Are there any casualties?"
"Yes."
"Is it miserable?"
"Miserable."
"Are there high-ranking officers among the casualties?"
ββ¦β¦ My lord, please don't mess around and start deceiving yourself. The relationship between the Shadow Wing and the Immortal Knights is tense. Whether there were casualties or not, their political sensitivities had made the fight intense from the start. More than 100 people were wounded to varying degrees in the firefighting, and another 23 people were killed on the spot - death. Priest Wendir hesitated for a moment, then changed, "These include Tonnarus and the two Shadow Centurions. He sighed again: "Actually, the sheriff of Issos has already arrived, but the garrison of citizens and veterans is far inferior to the two sides of the conflict in terms of quantity and qualityβ"
"So he just did nothing and watched the fight happen?" Justes' furious roar almost toppled the dome of the hall, "This is dereliction of duty!" β
"I sentenced him to be hanged on the same day and executed him on the spot." Priest Wendir said, "The top priority now is to mediate and mediate, after all, this is an incident that has taken place in the jurisdiction of the Lord, not to mention that the Lord and the Shadow Wing have a close personal relationship with the Supreme Commander of the Immortal Knights. I have written to the Archon of Kairos and General Agathon, and the two of them will reach Issos by tonight at the latest. β
"Where's Janos?" Justes suddenly spoke, "His Majesty the Emperor will definitely spare no effort to protect the Immortal Knights created by himself, as there is a risk of exacerbating the conflict." β
"I understand," said Priest Wendir mildly, "that a formal written report will not be sent to Janos until the Lord has reached an agreement with the Archon of Kairos and General Agathon. In this way, even if His Majesty the Emperor had the heart to overturn the case, he must respect the opinions of the two consuls and the Immortal Grand Master. β
Justes breathed a sigh of relief, "It's yours, Wendill. Sometimes I feel that it is not the high priestess of the goddess of creation who stands in front of me, but an old fox wandering the mountains. β
Priest Wendir spread his hands senselessly, apparently, he didn't mind the archon's very disrespectful jokes.
"My lord," the sentry standing guard outside the door knocked on the door, "Princess Elise asks to see you." β
Justus and Priest Wendir glanced at each other, and saw that each other's foreheads were wrinkled with deep wrinkles of uneasiness.
