The Taigangda Pier is located in a remote location and is not large, and it is rare to have a few merchant ships parked at this time.

Workers unloaded cargo on the spacious deck, with the sizable tail inlaid with royal markings, presumably Anton Weisen's ship to and from the southern ports and the central continent.

It traveled through the whole of Hangena, with more and more warehouses, carrying news and contraband, before finally reaching Taiganda.

Judging from the volume of transportation and the sail power of the mast, it will take about half a month to complete the round trip.

Banquet castle lounge interior.

Arnold and Duheng were looking out of the sea-looking window.

Most of these goods were purchased by shops in the city, that is, those transactions made privately by the powerful people behind the scenes.

"Goss Langar has increased our tribute, and it's about the same amount as blackmail."

"It doesn't matter, deduct it from the noble shops in the city, whoever is reluctant to oil and water will let him disappear completely."

Arnold wasn't surprised.

Anton Weissen has already discovered his ambitions, and it is only a matter of time before the two sides tear their faces apart, and now this demand is nothing more than a final blackmail.

The war had not yet broken out, and Taeganda spent money waiting for the right time.

The situation in the southern port is turbulent, and there are several kingdoms vying for interests, and there are their favorite collaborators among them, so they will have the confidence to refuse when the time comes.

As for the money, it will definitely not be taken from the coffers.

He usually acquiesced to the hungry wolves to prey on their own, and was silent about the underground black market, just to cope with the situation - when Taiganda needed a quota, everyone had to spit out their bones to make it up.

"My lord, here's what the port delivered."

The soldier in armor brought up the box with the wooden lid lifted.

Duheng received Arnold's hint in his eyes and walked straight up and pulled out a powder jar from it.

The mad alchemist will give them a lot of fancy names, but the principle is not complicated, it is to pour all kinds of deadly concoctions into the confined space.

To use it, all you have to do is swipe open the Secret Box and run away with all your might.

"Give it a try."

The lord put down the pen and propped up his arms to observe carefully.

Duchen had seen these things, stuffed with iron nuggets, and the sputtering range was very impressive.

He touched the lead with the candlestick.

The gray front part soaked in animal fat burns slowly, but if you don't get rid of the black part by waiting until you get rid of it, you should basically be a corpse.

The lawn in front of the castle has not been properly cleaned so far, and blood stains and debris are still faintly visible.

The clay pots were thrown from the observation deck, and the roar alarmed many of the guards, and even the harbor could be looked up.

"Bring it to the secret room and let those people show their results."

Arnold didn't even comment.

This kind of thing is flashy, and in the event of a war, the soldiers do not have enough distance, and it is impossible for catapults to work for such toys.

There are a lot of strange materials, and through special skills and secret magic, you can play all kinds of tricks!

Craftsmen who are obsessed with forging have long developed fire-resistant and explosion-proof armor.

Before gunpowder was played to the next level, the conditions for use were very harsh, and it was far less simple than using a steel giant crossbow.

Sharp arrows rain down, beasts are like seas, and secret techniques cause earthquakes and floods, this is the orthodox battlefield thinking of Kundia!

"There's a bit of trouble over there in the secret room."

The Administrative Officer reports truthfully.

"Most of the apprentices there are students of consultants. The chief has quit his job, refused to be paid well, and may be rushing to Anton Weisen in the near future. ”

Originally, all the public affairs of Taigangda were handled by Najiya, and the research on secret arts and alchemy was also inclined to production and life.

Today's preparation thinking, without transition, is difficult for people to adapt.

"Let the army strictly control it."

Arnold turned to look at Duchen, and raised his hand to hold down his opponent's shoulder armor.

"Remember, some people stay, it may disrupt your plans, and it must be done sooner rather than later."

He genuinely wanted to cultivate Duchen.

Among the henchmen who have admired him the most over the years, there are not many guys who can take responsibility, and the war can take his life at any time, and Taigangda's future must be left behind.

It would be nice if this captain of the guard was more ruthless and ruthless in some things.

Duheng was silent.

His eyes lingered in the direction of the harbor, where a lot of black market bastards appeared.

These people are like flies, and wherever there is a piece of soup and meat, they will shamelessly go up.

As the captain of the guard, you often have to bang someone who is out of line.

But he rarely sentenced people to death.

After all, those bastards are just trying to make a living, and as long as they don't cross their bottom line, they will often stay alive and warn them to do something beneficial to Tatsukata.

"These two guys are doing well, I heard that they have started a serious business recently."

Duheng muttered to himself.

He saw two horse dealers talking to the boat, not only did they not peep into the other man's purse, but they were also dressed very decently.

"My Captain of the Guard!"

Arnold's tone was serious, and he had to end his daze.

"My loyalty never fades, my lord."

"I know, but you've never listened to me! Hesitation and hypocrisy will bury a lot of knives, and sooner or later they will be able to cut you into slag......"

Just when the reprimand was about to erupt, the subordinates of the government department pushed the door and sent some documents.

The cover is stamped with royal fire paint, giving it enough weight to successfully delay the scolding.

The letter opener cut through the color wax, and the title in gold-edged black instantly caught the eyeballs.

Arnold thought it would be a notice or a tax bill, but he didn't expect it to be a wanted warrant, and issuing a reward of this level would have to be a heinous crime.

If you offend a powerful person, or steal several batches of military supplies......

At most, the notoriety will flow into the caravan, spread slowly, and by the time everyone knows about it, it may have been arrested and punished long ago.

This one is high-end.

Those who deliberately used letters to inform all the subordinate lords that they had to issue and spread after receiving them, basically launching a hunt and killing on the entire continent.

The roll rolled away, and no portrait was seen.

High-sounding empty words and nonsense accusations were quickly skipped.

In the most prominent position on the page, a scarlet name is written.

Arnold and Duheng frowned instantly, feeling a little confused, and blurted out vulgar words, and the two heads couldn't help but get closer.

After repeated confirmation, the eye sockets were wide open.

"King Langaer is interested in him, since he has issued a wanted warrant, it means that the other party is not dead at all, and the fog wolf can't give up easily, can it be ......?"

The guards saw the lord muttering to himself, and his face, which had not seen waves for a long time, was actually full of doubts.

"He killed the fog wolf!"

Arnold tugged at Duchen's collar and commanded in a deep voice:

"I want you, repeat everything about him to me, what kind of person is this!"

……

At the same time, the port of Taiganda.

Two horsemen lifted their feet out of the cabin, having just secured the goods from their black market peers.

Mr. Sean has recently been interested in the fairway.

The letter said that a receiving dock might be built somewhere to transport those vital resources by water.

They had to make preparations: forge ties with merchant ships along the way, bribe a few key sailors and captains, and secretly appoint trustworthy overseers.

The horse dealer carelessly "lost" a silver python.

The laborer who was wiping the deck took it into his arms, and when he raised his head, his face was already full of flattery, and he replied in a respectful tone.

"There aren't many news and rumors, but there was a Kingdom bounty recently, which is not very common."

The two of them nodded, hooking their fingers and handing over a few more silver coins.

The laborer's eyes flickered, and he leaned his head slightly closer to them, and whispered in their ears:

"That man's name is Adam White!"
