32. Aftermath (2)
The bloody riots in Akara City did not only affect Akara City.
Those who can obtain a territory in the north, and they are also with the title of earl, must be the hands of Prince Ahrens's faction. Therefore, when Count Endri confirmed that the city of Acala had been infiltrated by the Fallen Hand, he naturally informed Prince Ahrens of these things as soon as possible.
Thanks to the communication tools developed by the Magic Guild, although it costs a lot of money to use each time, at least in the transmission of important information, at least it will not delay the opportunity. Of course, this kind of tool is currently only available to those real big nobles and big power organizations.
But in any case, Prince Ahrens was the first to know the news.
And because he knows the secrets better than Acala. Tedmis had more information, so he had far more information from this news than Count Acala.
"It looks like Byron is likely to be dead." Ahrens looked at the young man sitting in front of him and said in a deep voice.
He was a very handsome man, looking to be about thirty years old, with neatly combed dark chestnut hair and a well-shaved beard that could clearly be seen, which made him look not only mature and stable, but also very attractive and sexy.
This man was Prince Ahrens' chief of guard, a companion with whom he had grown up as a child.
David. Akaf.
His strength is the same as that of Byrons, he is only level forty, which is two levels lower than Prince Ahrens. But compared to Byrons's parallel goods in Su Yan's eyes—in fact, if he could meet Prince Ahrens and the chief of the guard, David, would also think that these two people were parallel goods—David's strength was still better. Because he has mastered eleven combat skills, two of which are heroic combat skills.
And Prince Ahrens, although he is a median hero of the forty-second level, but in fact, he has only mastered one heroic skill.
So there is nothing wrong with Byron feeling that his strength is not under Prince Ahrens.
Because the real strongest in the north is David. Akaf.
At this time, the strongest man in the north was putting back on the table the information that Prince Ahrens had shown him just now.
But his brow did not stretch because of this,
"My Highness, this is not a very good sign." David's expression was very solemn, "You and I both know that we can defeat Byrons, but we will never be able to kill him." Even if the two of us joined forces, we would only be severely injured at best, and if Byron knew that we were joining forces together, he would definitely not even show his face...... To put it simply, with the slightest hint of wind and grass, he will run faster than a rabbit. ”
"Yes, I know." Prince Ahrens nodded.
"But now, he couldn't escape, he was killed, and even his body was gone." David made an exaggerated gesture, "My Highness, you should know what this means. ”
"A man who is far above us. Or several heroes infiltrate Acala City together, after all, if you and I can't solve it, another one can solve it. Prince Ahrens certainly knew what that meant, "but, you know, that's not what I'm more concerned about. ”
"Okay." David shrugged his shoulders, "There are not ten or eight organizations that contradict the Fallen Hand. And there are only two or three organizations that have more than three heroes and are still in conflict with the Fallen Hand. But in that case, it's even worse, isn't it? ”
"Yes." Prince Ahrens nodded, his face a little gloomy, "We are clearly embroiled in the strife between these organizations. But this bait, we still had to bite. Hmph, it seems that those guys don't take me, the lord of the north, seriously in their eyes. ”
David shrugged his shoulders again, "Who made us reluctant to work with those guys all along?" Now the other party just slapped us and gave us a sweet date, but don't we still have to eat it obediently? We have no choice in this matter. ”
"Yes, there is no choice." Prince Ahrens said coldly, "The Fallen Hand has been entangled with us for a long time, but we have not been able to uproot them. But this time, the branch of the Fallen Hand was completely eradicated. But whoever did this is giving us a disadvantage. …… This is a provocation to the aristocracy, to the royal family! ”
"Now, I hope that this matter is because the hand of the fallen has annoyed a certain hidden powerhouse who cannot be offended, so it was uprooted by the other party." David sighed lightly, "In this case, it is easier to solve than those organizations fighting in private." ”
Prince Ahrens did not speak, but his face was clearly unsightly.
The Fallen Hand attempts to establish roots in the North, continuing its former human trafficking business. However, Prince Ahrens, the new lord of the North, does not want his territory to become another nutrient source for this underground organization, so he has always spared no effort in fighting the hands of the Fallen. Because of this, the Fallen Hand has not been able to expand in the New North, and even needs to receive support from the current Guta Territory.
To put it simply, the Fallen Hand has had a very difficult time for the past year.
But just because life is hard doesn't mean they haven't stopped doing their job.
If they hadn't taken a fancy to Anna and tried to kidnap her, of course, the pot would have been borne by the Dark Guardians. At least they wouldn't provoke Su Yan to take action personally, and then kick the entire branch of the Fallen Hand: in fact, Su Yan did give them a chance, but they didn't cherish it, so it's no wonder that Su Yan made a move.
In a sense, David guessed the truth.
But it's a pity that neither David nor Prince Ahrens will believe in this possibility.
In this world, where are there so many hermit powerhouses?
Therefore, the matter of Akara City, no matter what is involved behind it, Prince Ahrens must announce to the public that all this is an attack on the Fallen Hand branch launched by him.
"So now, what are we going to do?" David raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Next, I will order the entire northern territory to begin sweeping up all underground organizations." Ahrens said in a cold voice, "If they dare to use us as gunmen, then be prepared to bear my wrath." ”
David whistled, "Wow, it's really lively now." …… Next, in the north, I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement. ”
With Prince Ahrens' strength and status, he is indeed qualified to bring a harsh winter to all underground organizations in the entire northern realm with a single word.
What is an underground organization?
Naturally, it refers to those who cannot see the light.
Generally speaking, most of these organizations will collude with local nobles and become an interest group, after all, no nobles will think that they have more money.
However, Prince Ahrens was a strong-willed royalist, the purest of royal factions. Of course, it is impossible for him to have any collusion with these underground organizations, because Prince Ahrens knows very well that only if the Kingdom of Tria is strong, then his interests can be protected. However, whether it is the Fallen Hand or other underground organizations, most of them are using the destruction of the foundation of the Trian Kingdom as their means of profit, and Prince Ahrens will cooperate with them to be the real ghost.
Therefore, the situation in the north that has finally come to an end is about to usher in a new round of sweeps because of the destruction of the Fallen Hand's branch in the north.
And the anger caused by this is naturally not only Prince Ahrens.
Another person with a vital interest in the fortress of Guta, the leader of the Fallen Hand, is also angry at this moment.
And very coincidentally, he also did not believe that Prince Ahrens had done this - although at this moment, Prince Ahrens had officially stated that the destruction of the branch of the Fallen Hand in the city of Accra was a plan he had implemented against the Fallen Hand. But the leader of the Fallen Hand would not believe a word about the news that has been circulating through various channels.
After all, Byrons's strength, he knows it very well.
Prince Ahrens and his loyal dog alone may be able to repel Byrons, but they will never kill Byrons.
As for why he thinks Byron is dead, it's even simpler.
He had a very secret correspondence with Byrons, so he was aware of all the major events taking place in the North today: including the Grey Sand Collar being razed to the ground, but the most important target was the disappearance. Because of this, the Fallen Hand branch set up in the north was completely destroyed, how could Byron not report such an important matter to him?
So even if he thinks on his toes, the leader knows that Byron is dead.
He died before he could even get the message.
"Could it be that Levy. Morality. Ingres didn't die? And that [Rebirth Scroll] has already been used? ”
It has to be said that intelligence is indeed the most important.
Count Endri only knew that the Fallen Hand's branch had been found in Acala City, and then found that the city under his jurisdiction had been infiltrated through the city's sieve. But because of the lack of information about Byrons, he naturally did not know that Barrons was dead.
And Prince Ahrens, because he had fought with Byrons, so when he heard the news from Count Endri, he knew that Barons was dead. And most likely, the entire North has been dragged into the strife between the Fallen Hand and some underground organization.
But when the news reached the hands of the Fallen, the leader's reaction was very different from that of Prince Ahrens.
Because he was involved in the matter against the Gray Sand Lord, and he also knew about the [Rebirth Scroll], his first reaction was that Lord Lévi came to take revenge.
As far as the results are concerned, he really didn't guess wrong.
It's just that Su Yan actually doesn't know anything, and he will find the branch stronghold of the Fallen Hand, purely because the Dark Embrace Mercenary Group is relatively cheap. But he didn't expect that this time he would have such a big gain in the wave of annihilation operations he came to the door, which was very unexpected by Su Yan.
Of course, Su Yan didn't think that his killing of Byron would cause so many follow-up events, so that all the underground organizations in the entire northern territory were already in a state of rumour. But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care at all.
