Chapter 251 The Examinee Who Was Attacked and Killed
The fact that the four of them did not watch the king's speech to cheer for the military exercise was not because they were not interested, but because something unexpected and reasonable happened that they needed to deal with.
The rebel organization and the Alan Kingdom have been dismantled by the Rhodes four several times in a row, so they will naturally not be indifferent.
In contrast, the people of the Southern Business Alliance were much quieter, and after not getting Lena, they immediately stopped the relevant actions.
"Can't these people learn from the South Commercial Alliance, why do they have so many things."
Daphne shook off the information in her hand in an angry manner.
It is clearly shown that the Mercenary Guild Task List, the Thieves Guild Task List and the Black Mi Bounty List all appear tasks related to the Sutter Kingdom, and one of the tasks with the highest bounty in recent times is to prevent the success of the Sutter Kingdom's military exercises.
Under this task, there are hundreds of large and small tasks.
Among them, there is no shortage of ultra-high bounty tasks such as high-level battle armor, magic guide equipment, and even a large number of kingdom officer standard weapons, judging from the bounty amount that does not meet the difficulty of the task, principalities such as the Southern Commercial Alliance are the most suspicious.
The most talked about are assassination missions, ranging from the assassination of Sartre III to the killing of the four Rhodes, including foreign guests like Edie.
And among them, the most eye-catching, and the person with the largest number of acceptances, is to kill the candidates who rushed to the royal capital of Sartre, and there is a reward of ten gold coins for killing one, and according to statistics, due to the amnesty of Sartre III, there are especially many candidates who rushed to the royal capital to participate in the scientific examination this year, there are more than 10,000, more than 50 times more than in previous years.
In the report, these missions are divided into red and blue circles, representing bounties issued by the Resistance and bounties issued by the Kingdom of Alan.
Among them, the bounty for killing the four people of Rhodes is the highest, and the total of zero and zero has exceeded 10,000 gold coins, especially Rhodes, and the people who bet on the bounty are especially many, and it is roughly estimated that there are more than 1,000 people bounty Rhodes.
Simone takes the report, organizes it, and puts it in her portfolio.
"The attack on the examinee can be determined to be a bounty from the Alan Kingdom, and the resistance group is not involved."
"As for our bounty and the bounty for sabotaging the military exercise of the Sartre Kingdom, in addition to the extremely active resistance organizations, there are also many forces hidden in the country in the shadows, such as the students of the left and right ministers."
"As for the forces that offered bounties to Edie and other foreign guests, judging from the intelligence and bounties offered by all parties, it can basically be determined that it was done by neighboring countries, and the purpose was probably to attack the prestige of the Sartre Kingdom."
Rod was silent, just holding the command book in his hand in a daze.
Simone continued: "The king has used the King's Guard and the Praetorian Guard to maintain military exercises and protect envoys from various countries to ensure the smooth holding of military exercises and the personal safety of foreign guests. ”
"But because of this, the last ten kilometers around the royal capital have also become a death zone that kills candidates."
There are a lot of small actions on all sides.
From the moment Sartre III announced the military exercise, there were suddenly a large number of marginalized people inside and outside the royal capital, and they who originally only dared to take them outside the suburbs suddenly poured into the royal capital.
This emboldened these marginalized people, and also gave opportunities to the rebels and forces such as King Alain, who were employed by various forces for an unusually similar purpose to wreak havoc in the royal capital, with various crimes occurring from time to time, and even forming various gangs in large and small corners of the inner city in a short period of time.
It wasn't until a female reporter who went deep into the folk pretended to be kidnapped by accident, and the hard-to-witness fact was recorded by the female reporter's hidden photo crystal, and then the female reporter escaped and exposed the picture to the world, that it was widely valued.
Such a merciless revelation of the chaos in the royal capital made the city guards exhausted for a while, but fortunately, these people on the fringes of society bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the city guards who worked in shifts 24 hours a day effectively beat these people back to their original shape.
Gangs that had not been established for a long time were also eliminated quickly and forcefully.
There are also some gang leaders who have some foresight, and when they see that the limelight is not right, they secretly find the city guards, hoping to be recruited, and leave the inner city with the gang early, and return to the suburbs to claim the king.
The chaos was directly annihilated in a short period of time, but even so, there was no shortage of crimes in the royal capital that was brought up with a bad atmosphere, and martial law had to be continued, and the city guards still needed to be on standby in shifts twenty-four hours a day, and it was necessary to prevent any bad incidents from happening.
However, there is no way to estimate it in other places, such as candidates.
Sartre III obviously cherished these candidates very much, and as soon as he knew about the reward, he had already made a decision, commanded the directly subordinate legions stationed in the provinces to protect the candidates, and set up a defensive front based on the resources and gold coins collected from the five major chambers of commerce in the kingdom according to the war period, and absolutely guaranteed the safety of all candidates.
In the face of curious reporters, Sartre III did not shy away from sending officials from the royal capital, so that he personally led the reporters to visit the various legions, and had the posture of cheering for the military exercise.
But in this way, the surrounding area of the royal capital has become an undefended loophole, and many candidates are fine when they set off from the province, but when they reach the boundary of the royal capital, they are killed for various reasons.
The King's Guard, Praetorian Guard, and City Guards needed to protect the safety of the royal capital, the legions of other provinces needed to ensure the safety of the provinces, and even the top students of the four major academies were mobilized as logistical support to all corners of the inner city of the royal capital.
After that, the area around the royal capital lacked effective protection.
This is a loophole in the mind, who would have thought that the last ten kilometers around the royal capital would actually become a death zone, and those mercenaries, thieves, and members of the Black Mi would dare to attack and kill candidates here.
Even not just the candidates, as the high bounty missions came one after another, caravans and pedestrians became targets.
In recent days, many candidates and caravans have not died in other regions, but have died when they are about to enter the royal capital.
Then at this time, the four of them were remembered by Sartre III again, and they were given urgent instructions that they must use their abilities to protect the security around the royal capital, and to prevent the attacks from continuing to occur, they must minimize the impact before things become serious.
However, based on the fact that the four Rhodes were also on the bounty list, and the bounty was not low, there was no shortage of masters who coveted the bonus, so the king gave the Rhodes four a chance to offer assistance.
"Hara, but the king is really generous, it's very good."
"Well, that's great."
Compared to Daphne and Marianne, Simone's eyes were full of caution.
Rod took Simone's hand and smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, we're not weak people who can kill anyone." Your elder brother has cultivated rock bodies, and he is not considered weak, and with his survival wisdom, he will not be involved. ”
Simone nodded, showing a warm smile: "I'm not very worried about my brother, it's just that we better be careful, my soul is always trembling, this is a danger warning." ”
A hint of depression flashed in Rod's eyes: "Your self-hypnosis has progressed to the point where it can image souls." But don't worry, it's because there is no danger that it will be a warning, otherwise your reaction will not be so light. ”
Before Simone could reply, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Captain, the ingredients you want have arrived."
Rhodes smiled, his aid to Sartre III was a small request, that is, the high-grade ingredients in the palace, and he picked out the best three to send him.
