Chapter 309: Kidnapping
While gathering the captives, Hatton quickly finds the two commanders of the Smto'o soldiers and brings them to Twilight, who survives with the help of their own guards.
After a slight glance at the two generals, Twilight waved her hand, and when even the soldiers took the two of them, Twilight said to Hatton:
"Hatton, leave a part to clean up the battlefield, you take some people to take all these captives to the steel fortress first, and all of them will be used as slaves to repair the city, and tell the soldiers that the seriously injured will be happy."
"Yes! Your Lordship. Hatton answered, and walked briskly down to make arrangements.
Seeing Hatton walking down, Twilight said in a relaxed tone, "Let's go, let's go meet our great heroes too."
With that, Twilight walked towards Moonstream, and Dawn and the others naturally followed, and the two captives were also followed by Twilight.
When Twilight arrives in Moonstream, Rena. The Ice Spear has opened the gates of the town to greet him, and Ali, dressed in green armor and black robes, arrives in front of Twilight.
"The masterminds have been arrested?" Twilight said to A-Li.
"Yes, my lord, I'll take you there." Ali said, turning and walking in front of Twilight.
Twilight follows Arri to a wooden building, where seven people with different expressions stand inside, and several Darkwing soldiers stand guard around them.
The soldiers bring in the two Smutoo captives, and Twilight sits in a chair.
"Guys, I think you're no stranger to me, so let's introduce yourself."
I saw the nine people on the opposite side looking at each other, and one of them, an elderly man, said with an innocent face: "Lord Lord, what does this mean, we are all serious businessmen, and we usually pay our business taxes on time, but we haven't done anything illegal."
The eyebrows raised slightly, and Twilight's tone was not in a hurry: "I don't have so much time to grind your lips with you, the last chance, which chamber of commerce are you from, what are your identities!"
Twilight's words weren't heavy, but it was this indifference that made the hearts of the few people present tighten.
Just when the air in the room was a little frozen, the old man who spoke before forced a smile again: "Lord Lord, is there any misunderstanding here?"
A small cluster of dark red flames appeared in Twilight's hand, and the next moment Twilight flicked her fingers, and the cluster of finger-sized flames was bounced out by Twilight, flying straight towards the old man who spoke.
"Ugh!"
The flame seemed to be slow and fast, and in the blink of an eye, it flew in front of the old man, and directly pierced the old man's forehead almost without hindrance, and the old man's eyes widened for a moment, and then he slowly fell to the ground, and the eyes of the dying old man were full of disbelief.
"My patience is limited, and each of you only has one chance to speak." Twilight says lightly, as if it wasn't him who just made the move.
"I'm General House of the Duchy of Keanu, and I'm just being ordered to attack you." The first to speak was the bloodied general of Smto'o.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, this kind of spineless leader, no wonder he would bring out a group of such soldiers, it was really a soldier, and he would be a nest of bears.
"I'm from the Black Hawk Chamber of Commerce, and this time I'm just in charge of wiring." Another middle-aged man from General House, who was beside him, also said after House spoke.
One person spoke, and the others spoke, and from the mouths of the people behind Twilight knew that three of them belonged to the Golden Maple Chamber of Commerce, two of them belonged to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, and the old man who was killed was also from the Golden Maple Leaf.
"Everyone else has said that, and you're the only one left." Twilight looks at the last man with a look of hesitation on his face, and as she speaks, a dark red flame appears on Twilight's hand again.
Seeing Twilight's actions, the last person's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Don't kill me, my name is Danbru, and I belong to the Green family."
"The Green Family?" Twilight's expression moved, and the name seemed familiar.
"The Green family is one of the major shareholders behind the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, and their fiefdom is in the middle of the lake!" Seeing Twilight's doubts, Belinda behind him reminds him at the right time.
"Tsk, Darys is like this, and you still want a piece of the Prito pie?" With an ironic remark, Twilight turned to the two Smto'o captives:
"How many people did Smutoo send this time, and how many people did he send over there?"
"Almost 35,000 people, 15,000 people in Rift Mountain Fortress, and 20,000 people here in Yuexi Town." The ruler named House didn't hide anything.
Twilight: "Where do all these forces come from?"
"We are twenty-five thousand in Keanu, and ten thousand in the principality of St. Munn." House said with a smile on his face.
"The Duchy of Fidit is not involved?" Twilight said and understood after a little thought, the Duchy of Fidit was not much better off than the royal city of Kurtra under the ravages of the orcs, and it is estimated that it has not recovered until now, and the Duchy of Fidit is not connected to the Nopsala Mountains, so they don't need to get involved at all, and it is thankless.
As for the Duchy of Keanu's efforts, it is nothing more than that Preto can bring them direct benefits, huge benefits, but Twilight has also seen the strength of the Duchy of Keanu and the Duchy of St. Mun in this battle, and this time they will lose more than 30,000 troops here, especially the Duchy of Keanu, it is estimated that the strength will definitely be stretched.
These thoughts passed through Twilight's mind, and Twilight sat up slightly and smiled, "Now for the key question, each of you is a person with status and status, and I, Twilight, am not a murderer, but after all, you have to pay a little price for being my enemy."
As soon as the words "not an indiscriminate murderer" came out, Alexia, Zagrel, Reyna Ice Spear and the others couldn't help but look a little weird, how they heard and felt that Twilight's words were awkward, especially looking at the corpse on the ground and what he said was definitely the strongest contrast.
Of course, Twilight couldn't notice the rich expressions of the people behind him, and he pointed to the three Golden Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the two Dawn Chamber of Commerce and the people of the Green family one by one: "One hundred thousand gold coins for each person."
"Huh? How is this possible?"
"Where are we going to get all that gold?" Hearing the Twilight Lion's mouth, the eyes of the two chambers widened.
"100,000 gold coins for your life should be worth it, you don't have much time, ten days, after ten days, if your people don't give away the gold coins, I will send you to death." Twilight taps lightly on her chair, unhurried.
As for her own conditions, Twilight knew that the three of them would definitely agree, because Twilight felt that the remaining high-level leaders of Golden Maple were almost the same if they weren't all here, after all, their base camp was gone, and the Grimm family was about the same, and as for the two Dawn Chamber of Commerce, it was really uncertain.
Seeing that several of them were a little cringe, afraid to argue, Twilight turned her eyes to House and the Black Hawk Chamber of Commerce.
"I'm very satisfied with the cooperation of this general House just now, I'll let you go back, you can help me bring a word, Simtoo is plotting against Preto, this matter is not over!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Hearing Twilight's words, House thanked him repeatedly.
"As for you, kill!" Twilight looks at the last of the Black Hawk Chamber of Commerce. When he had finished speaking, he got up and walked out.
"Don't... Don't kill me, I can also give out the coins. When he heard that he was going to kill him, the person from the Black Eagle Chamber of Commerce immediately panicked and hurriedly said.
"Sorry, I don't need to!" Twilight said without a pause, he really didn't need the Black Hawk Chamber of Commerce's gold coins, because he had already decided to go to war with Smtoo, and all of Smtoo's would recognize him as plundering.
Walking out of the wooden building, Twilight asks Rena. Ice Spear: "With such a big movement in Yuexi Town, isn't there any movement in the Violet Chamber of Commerce in Simberola?"
Rena shook her head: "I sent someone there, and the people from the Violet Chamber of Commerce said that their president had returned to Simberola two days ago."
"What a coincidence, I actually chose this time to go back to Cimberola, hmph, starting tomorrow, there will be a Qiē Cimberola Chamber of Commerce business group, and all taxes will be added to two layers." Twilight sneered.
To say that the Violet Chamber of Commerce did not participate in this Twilight Letter, but to say that you don't know the complicity of the Golden Maple Leaf and other chambers of commerce, Twilight will not believe it, they just want to fish in troubled waters, or even want to fly a piece of the pie, no matter which side wins, with Simberola as the backstage, they are invincible.
By this time, the night was already getting deeper, and instead of returning to the Watch Castle, Twilight planned to spend the night in the town of Eglaven.
As she walked towards Eglavin, Alexia couldn't help but ask, "You made me watch a good show, but I don't know what it has to do with my Bora City?"
Knowing that Alexia would ask sooner or later, Twilight says, "Since you don't want to enter Preto, then I can only find you another place that suits you." The Smtoo Federation did not help Darys when it was in the most crisis, but also tried to plot Darys's territory, which has made Smtoo and Darys lose the reality of the alliance, so you don't care about the so-called alliance. ”
"What do you mean?" Alexia had already understood what Twilight meant.
"You should know about the Silga Hills, enter the Principality of Fitit from the wetland swamp, and you can directly enter the Velvet Heights through the Dagger Ridge, this place is enough for you to develop, and you can also directly go upriver into Darren Ruth, and enter from Darren Ruth south."
"You want my mother to occupy the territory of Smto'o?" Belinda said in surprise.
Twilight shook her head, "It can't be said to be an occupation, it's Simtoo's injustice first, you borrowed it temporarily in order to survive, and with the pressure of Prito's troops coming to the city, I'm afraid Smuto's forces can't concentrate on attacking you at all."
Occupation and borrowing actually mean the same thing, but the latter is obviously better than the former, with Preto containing the Duchy of Keanu and the Duchy of St. Mun, and a Duchy of Fidit, which was crippled by orcs, is not a big threat to Alexia's Bora City.
At this time, listening to Twilight's analysis, Alexia's eyes lit up a little, Twilight's method is indeed feasible, but Alexia still has to think about it, the most important thing is because of Simtoo's actions, and the other kingdoms will definitely not say anything. (To be continued......)
