Chapter 34: Planting
Early this morning, Morey received two different letters, one fiercely worded and the other sincere. If it weren't for the family crest on the envelope, Morey would have thought that Corey had made a mistake and confused the letters of the Damyan family with his own.
In the letter from Saganis City, the new parents implicitly threatened to ask Morey to abdicate the position of the lord of Momiji Castle as soon as possible to the original Momiji Castle lord McGee. Faist, otherwise he will wave his army south and completely wipe out Red Leaf City.
And the letter from the feuding Damiyan family,It turned out to be Alex who had a relationship in the woods outside Momiji Castle. Sent by Damiyan. In the letter, he sincerely apologized to Morey, saying that he had been deceived by Decai's treacherous villain, so he made the wrong decision to fight against Red Leaf City. Now that he has realized his mistake, he encloses the pension of the ranger who was poisoned by them.
The pension of up to 10,000 gold coins represents the sincerity of the Damian family and the hint of their reluctance to continue to be an enemy of Red Leaf City.
"Balta, tell me about this Lord of Mackay." Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, Morey summons Balta to tell him about McGee. The story of Faist.
"Okay, young master! Speaking of this McGee City Lord, I have to mention one person, the second elder in the elder group......"
After a conversation, Morey understood that this McGee. Faist was the advocate for the interests of the Elder Achill, and every year McGee paid him a large tribute.
Speaking of this Elder Achill, the experience was also bumpy. He was ambitious as a young man, but as an adult, he gradually disappeared from the public, and he no longer became a young genius. It's easy to survive to the age of becoming a family elder, but he is pressed by Enge to never get ahead. Cultivation and power will not be improved, and he gradually puts his pursuit on wealth. Enge saw that he had always been well-behaved, and he also threw some bones at him from time to time, and this Red Leaf City was one of them.
This year, McGee's position as the lord of Red Leaf City was taken away, and seeing that this year's income is about to shrink significantly, how can Achill, who regards money as his life, not be in a hurry.
Before, there was Enge, the great elder who held the power, and he only dared to make small troubles and make small moves. Now that the family situation has changed, he naturally can't sit still.
At this time, Corey suddenly entered the door and informed Andy, the clerk of Morey Red Leaf City, that there was an urgent report.
This time, Red Leaf City cleared out the rebel forces, and Andy and Johnson both contributed a lot, so Morey also began to contact the two according to Ios's suggestion. Andy and Johnson also learned the news that Ire's soul lamp was extinguished at this time, and they also remembered Ire's words in the Saber Fort before, and they were ashamed and at the same time tried their best to assist.
So during this time, the two sides got along very well, which made Ios very happy.
"Let him in."
"The Joseph family is planning to rob and kill a fleet of the Faist family in the near future!" As soon as Andy came in, he didn't care about etiquette and threw out his bombshell news.
"Is Bolton planning to provoke a war between the two families? What other forces have they received recently? "The robbery of the convoy of the Faist family is equivalent to provoking an all-out war between the two families. As the patriarch of the Joseph family, Bolton would naturally know the consequences, so unless he was hit by the [Mentally Handicapped], he must have received some special help to have the confidence to fight such an all-out war.
"Hehe, not actually." Andy's smile was a little bitter.
"Oh?" Morey frowned, a little puzzled.
"They plan to plant the charge of robbery and murder on the head of Momiji City, because that convoy is McGee's convoy, and they are here to take over Momiji City." Andy didn't hide it either, and told all the news he got.
Morey has no doubts about the authenticity of Andy's information. Morey had already learned from Ios that Andy was actually the leader of Ere's secret intelligence organization "Raven", and was Ere's ear. The members of these "ravens" are scattered all over the provinces and major cities of the Holy Lance Kingdom, not to mention the Joseph family, an old enemy in the Far East.
So as soon as Burton and Benjamin had planned the robbery, the news came back from the "ravens" who had infiltrated Joseph's high-level management.
In addition to some of the members of the "Raven" who have been cultivated by Eray since childhood, many of them have grasped the handles of these "Ravens", the smallest of these handles is enough for them to be ruined, and the larger ones are also light, so the presence or absence of Ire's presence has little impact on the "Raven". In addition, some "ravens" are halfway monks, and they have escaped the investigation of their families or organizations and entered important positions.
The "raven" who sent back the news this time was a middle-aged commander of the Joseph family, who was known for his mastery. In order to pay off his gambling debts, the rising star personally informed the robbers of the route of the Joseph family's caravan, and after successfully obtaining the property, he killed all the robbers.
He thought it was seamless, but he was still discovered by the "raven", and between becoming a dry bone in the family water prison or a member of the "raven", he wisely chose the latter.
You can't lose this base camp in Red Leaf City. The Saber Fort is a battle fortress and is not suitable as a base for a faction. It relied too much on the family's supplies, or rather on the outside world. The Red Leaf City is different, not to mention the expensive red leaf trees, just the 30,000 acres of fertile land opened up near the Red Leaf City, each mu can produce 350 catties of grain per quarter, and the calculation of one pound of grain consumed by an adult a day is enough to meet the survival of more than 20,000 people in the Red Leaf City, and there is also a surplus that can be used to help other grain-poor towns of the Faist family, such as Saber Fort.
In the barren lands of the Far East, these fields capable of growing grain are the "imperial base" of Morey and cannot be abandoned.
Since you can't discard Momiji City, then naturally you have to disobey the order of the Eveli parent.
"Can we go and kill McGee's convoy first, and then blame the Joseph family?" Morey thought about it and came up with a whole new idea, which shocked the scene so people were dumbfounded.
Is it my own auditory hallucination? Morey (young master) is talking about robbing and killing the Joseph family, right?
It's no wonder that they can't turn around, all the families in the Becky World are instilling the idea of family supremacy and family interests first to the members of the family all the time.
Therefore, even in the face of the aggressive attitude of the new head of the family, they only think of the curve to appeal for their own rights and interests, rather than confronting them head-on. Because they know that doing so will only cause damage to the interests of the family, which is not in line with the principles they have always followed.
But Morey is different. He has been in this world for less than three years, and he has not yet been branded by his family. Even if there is gratitude, but more for Eli. Faist is personally grateful and grateful, he is very unfamiliar with the family, and the memories of his previous body are more of those ubiquitous and secret smiles, and he has very little sense of belonging to the Faist family.
After experiencing the initial disbelief, everyone thought about it and found that this is indeed the best choice right now.
Now if I go to Saganis City to find you and find him, not only will it be too late, but without Ire's seat, it is unknown how many of these connections will be available. On the contrary, Morey's violent single knife is quite ingenious.
Morey's disobedience to family law is at best unruly, and it is a disease of ringworm and scabies. The Joseph family secretly plotted civil strife with the Faist family, and wanted to replace it, but it was the ambition of the wolf son and the big trouble!
Even if Yveli still wants to go his own way, then the Elders don't mind having another head of the house. The interests of the family are above all else, not even the parents! The "First Family of the Far East" represents not only the glory of status, but also the huge interests in reality.
In fact, the Joseph family helped Morey do it, and the "raven" collected all the specific plans of action, and he was very dedicated. What Morey had to do now was to ambush them at the place they must have passed, and wipe out the murderous team of the Joseph family. Then, according to the original plan, I changed it slightly, and I took on the role of this robbery team, annihilating McGee's convoy, and then placing the bodies of the Joseph family on the scene of Lake Maas to disguise it as a scene of a fight between the two sides. When it comes to loading corpses in his own half-plane, Morey is not as resistant as other orthodox mages.
"The Joseph family sent a total of 30 people to the robbery plan, including 10 wanderers, 8 warriors, 5 mages, and 7 magic marksmen. Of course, the work of the main battle is carried out by the wanderers and warriors, and the mages and archers are only responsible for assisting and dealing with emergencies. "Because it is a sneak attack and it is a plausible fake trace of the fish-man attack, then there must be no traces of attack spells or arrows on the scene.
"We can intercept them on the rocky beach outside of Boulder." Andy was well versed in the terrain of the Far East, and with the camping sites in the plan, he quickly pointed out the best place to attack - Boulder Town.
Boulder Town knows that it is the consistent naming style of the Faist family, and it does belong to the Faist family. It is located in the northeast of Momiji City, and it is a typical poor town because it deviates from the trade route and has difficulty in development. The small population and the lack of concern for anything other than themselves are the common traits of the inhabitants of this town. So even if the townspeople see the Joseph family looting team, it won't matter.
Similarly, even when Morey and the others went to ambush the Joseph family's team, no one would hear the noise and come out to check.
There is a dry river channel outside Boulder, creating a desolate rocky beach. In the plan passed down by the "raven", this is the camp of the killing team. The highest rock here, which is half a man high, has an unobstructed view, making it almost impossible to attack at night, which is why this is the place to camp here. But because of this, their vigilance will definitely be relaxed, which will give the team of Red Leaf City, which has been ambushed here for a long time, a chance.
