Volume 1 Set Sail Chapter 5 Interlude
To the northwest of the Wilderness Road, there is an old castle perched on the mountainside. The castle is backed by a steep mountain wall, facing a fractured cliff, and a wooden suspension bridge in front of the city gate connects the mountain road in the distance. The gates of the castle are closed all year round, and few people come and go.
In the hall of the castle, a fat man was pointing his cane at a boy lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and shouted at the soldiers around him: "Throw this waste down the mountain!" I'll dispose of it all again! There are important people coming these days, so show me tightly! ”
"Yes!" The soldiers on either side immediately replied.
A group of children in ragged clothes and bruises all over their bodies were so frightened that their faces were bloodless when they saw this situation, and they returned to their "work posts" trembling one by one.
The fat man, accompanied by the guards, then left the hall and returned to his study. As he was sorting through his letters at his desk, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!" The fat man shouted.
The door slowly opened, and a thin man in civilian clothes walked in, he came to the desk, and said as he saluted, "My lord, the matter you have explained has been done. The few imps who escaped have been disposed of. ”
"Where's the news?" The fat man continued to sort through the letters, asking without looking up.
"The Hill family of Quelstein should know." The thin man said cautiously.
Hearing this, the fat man angrily crumpled the letter in his hand and scolded viciously: "This bastard family! Right away! Let Benjamin take someone to dispose of it quickly. ”
"My lord, it is said that the headquarters has sent someone to deal with it. And, if we let Benjamin's people go, we'll have ...... manpower here."
"I know this, this shit family has been making a lot of trouble for our Apocalypse Revolutionary Army for a long time, and the headquarters will definitely not sit idly by." The obese man continued, "It is said that the headquarters has already sent someone to deal with this matter, and it should be the Magic Association first. Benjamin was sent to kill all the fish that slipped through the net before the news leaked, and he must not let the outside know about what was going on here. Be sure to get rid of anyone who knows about it before the Hill family gets the word out. There aren't so many people needed here now, so it doesn't matter if they all take them away. General Cathorne is coming in the next few days, don't trouble me. Do you understand? ”
"My subordinates understand." With that, the thin man bowed down and exited the room.
"We must not expose what is going on here." The fat man said to himself.
