Chapter 55: The Rising Tide
"The fraternity is in charge of the midtown giant, Lucas." Carmelo repeated.
Snorlan smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, that's a lot of silver!" But there must be a reason why you chose him, teacher, can you answer my questions? ”
Carmelo smiled slightly: "I can't tell you yet." You'll know when the time comes. ”
Snorlan smiled wryly and said, "Okay. ”
At this time, Leslie also arrives at Kane's house.
"Brother!" Leslie climbed through the window into Kane's room and said to Kane with a smile.
Kane was taken aback by Leslie, and when he fixed his eyes on his sister Leslie, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Leslie! What are you doing here? ”
Leslie sat on the chair next to her and said, "Brother, two thugs from the Brotherhood went to Snowlan's house this morning to collect protection money, but Snowland didn't give them and beat the two of them out. ”
Kane sighed and said, "Big brother is too impulsive. ”
Leslie then asked, "Brother, what happened to those two thugs saying that the Wharf Brotherhood took over Midtown?" ”
Kane didn't hide it from Leslie either, saying, "Yesterday the big brother took the lead and gathered all of our giants and warriors for a meeting, and he told us that we had reached an agreement with City Hall, and City Hall handed over the management of Midtown to us, but we had to meet the requirements of City Hall. ”
"What requirements?"
"Gather enough supplies for the army that will arrive in Ward Harbor soon. To put it simply, it's money, a lot of money. ”
"The money...... Just from the civilian population? ”
Kane smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise? How can the Brotherhood have this money? Besides, even if there is this money, how can the big brother take the lead and hand it over to the city hall directly? After meeting the requirements of the city hall, the first thing the city hall to clean up is us. The eldest brother said that the wool comes from the sheep, not only all the residents, but also all kinds of merchants and hawkers charge more protection fees. The eldest brother who took the lead also said that if he wants to spread this matter, he can't just let us bear the infamy. ”
"Okay, I see, I need to tell Snorlan about it." Leslie said.
Kane nodded, and said, "Indeed, you have to tell Big Brother quickly, and also, tell Big Brother to stop living there, the Brotherhood will probably use him as a target to kill chickens and monkeys." Leslie, if it doesn't work, come back. ”
Leslie nodded and said, "I'll be back if there's danger." But brother, I think the big brother Snorlan that we can think of must also think of that, if nothing else, he should be staying at the house of his teacher Carmero, and he asked me to go there to find them. ”
Kane nodded again and said, "If it's the eldest brother's teacher, it should be safe, anyway, Leslie, take care of yourself, I have limited ability, I can't take care of you, you must take care of yourself!" ”
Leslie nodded solemnly and said, "Brother, you should also pay attention to safety!" ”
Kane smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, Leslie, I will soon be able to comprehend the fighting spirit and advance to the silver rank, I have the ability to take care of myself, don't be afraid." Okay, let's go. ”
Leslie and Kane hugged each other and walked away through the window. She left Downtown, walked through Midtown, and came to Carmero's house, where Snorlan was practicing his sword in the courtyard, Theresa was basking in the sun and reading a book, and Carmelo was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea while instructing Snowland.
Carmelo saw Leslie come in at a glance: "Here it is." Snolland, stop. ”
Snorlan stopped practicing, and when he looked back, it was Leslie who came: "Leslie, how's it going?" ”
Leslie told Kane what she had told her, and Carmelo frowned the more she listened.
"With the economic strength of Ward Harbor, it is more than enough to supply one legion. Two legions are no exception. Why are they so extortionate? There are two possibilities, either the supporting forces are three legions or more, or the supporting army is two elite legions. Alkavon, who are the elite legions of Roe recently? Carmelo said to the shadow next to him.
Halfling Alkavon jumped out of the shadows and said, "The nearest Roe elite legions are the second, third, and fifth mobile legions and the Golden Lion legion led by Prince Lorenzo. ”
"It's impossible for the Golden Lions, they're still tangling with Marshal Satoransky in Segou in the middle line. It is impossible for all three mobile divisions to support, and Marshal Oubre must leave at least one mobile division to prevent the big moves of the Saigus. So that is, the Roe sent at least two elite divisions and the city guard of Port Ward against Kostana? The 3rd Ségou Frontier Regiment alone could not stop these forces. ”
Al Kavon sneered and said: "This is not necessarily, I just got the news, your ex-girlfriend has mobilized the most elite Brute Bull Mountain Division, the Spirit Fox Rainforest Assault Division, and the Firefly Special Combat Division, you know what this means." ”
Carmelo let out a long sigh and said, "It means that she has at least three army groups behind her." Ward Harbour couldn't hold it. ”
"So confident in your ex-girlfriend?" Al Kavon said with a chuckle.
"She never fights unprepared. For ten years, she had been unable to hold down the 1st and 2nd border guards of Roe with the strength of a frontier regiment, and this time, she finally had the advantage in strength. Segou was about to choke Roe's throat. Once Port Ward falls, the Roe people can only die a slow death. ”
Al Kavon nodded and said, "Roe's current situation is already precarious. When are we leaving? ”
Carmelo glanced at Snorlan and said, "Wait for Snorlan to come out." ”
While the Carmelo family was discussing the situation, the undercover team led by Malan Clinton had arrived in Port Ward disguised as merchants.
"Captain, what do we do next?" A woman with long red hair said to Ma Lan.
"How many times have you said it, what are you calling me here?" Ma Lan said with a serious face.
"Malan...... Captain Ke...... Oh no, Maran, now that we're lurking in, what's next? ”
"Settle down first, the eldest three brothers are still on the way, and they have to arrange what they eat before they work, and it will take a month to arrange food. We do business first during this time, and then we look around. ”
The red-haired woman nodded, she was the accompanying mage, and she and three other scouts had been sent to assist in Malan's work. Although she is the strongest person in this team, a silver-level mage, in terms of stealth work, she is still the most capable of Ma Lan, and only Ma Lan can be qualified for the position of captain, so both she and the other three bronze high-level scouts are convinced and obey the orders of the bronze high-level Ma Lan.
They entered the city and bought a property, and this nail of Costana had been firmly rooted in the veins of Port Ward, and when this nail was pulled out, it was the time of the fall of Port Ward.
