Chapter 162: Appeasement
87_87410 "What are you looking for?" A cold, slightly stiff voice suddenly appeared behind a spy, and before the spy could react, a black-purple dagger with a cold blade was placed on the spout's neck.
"Who are you? I'm just a businessman. The spy stumbled.
"Is it credible that a merchant is in the wilderness at night? Come with me. Gila said in a human lingua franca that he wasn't very proficient in.
Before her words fell, the spy who was holding her weapon around the neck pulled out his waist weapon and stabbed backhand, but Jira was faster than her, and saw a spurt of blood spurt out, and the spy fell to the ground before he could scream.
Looking at the spies who had fallen to the ground, Jira snorted and continued to move forward, always remembering Twilight's words to her that if she couldn't be captured alive, she would all be dead.
Just as Kira pounced on his target, the other Shadowwing soldiers pounced on their target, only to see a dozen spies all surrendered or killed in the blink of an eye.
"Don't kill me, I'm from the Mandala Chamber of Commerce, we have no ill will." A spy shouted.
Hearing this, Jira pauses, then waves his hand for his subordinates to take the man down, and soon after, when Jira confirms that she has cleared out all the unknown people, she catches up with Twilight in front of her.
"My lord, grab six people, two of them who claim to be from the Mandala Chamber of Commerce." Gila prays to Twilight.
"Mandala Chamber of Commerce?" Twilight paused, then curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Kill it, and the other people will also kill it under interrogation."
"Yes!" Jira nodded and walked back, slowly disappearing into the darkness while Twilight continued on her way.
For the two spies of the Mandala Chamber of Commerce, the reason why Twilight chose to kill them was not because she was hostile to Mandala, but because she would not be embarrassed to meet Belinda next time, and at the same time, she also warned Mandala a little, which is called curiosity killing the cat.
Along the way to the location of the Mithril Mine, Twilight meets the Kobold*.
"*, how's the progress of the Mithril Mine lately?"
"Master, this is what we mined recently, a total of 9,472 pieces." * Carry Twilight to a clearing and point to a large Mithril Mine.
Hearing this, Twilight glanced at him with some surprise, not that he had mined too much, but that the kobold* was able to memorize the amount of these ores, which was indeed too surprising to Twilight.
"Can the progress be accelerated?" Twilight asks casually.
"Master, the current kobolds have all been mobilized, and more people are needed to mine if we want to speed up the progress." * Bow your head.
"Okay, I'll have people send more kobolds when I go back, and I can only hand it over to you for the time being." Twilight patted *skinny shoulders lightly.
* hesitates but nods, he actually wants to follow his master's side, but Twilight has arranged things for him, and he has to do it, and do it well.
After asking Sido to take his barbarians to load all the Mithril Mines into the wagon, Twilight and the others leave without staying long.
Early the next morning, Uncle Lan, a middle-aged attendant who had been following Belinda, knocked on Belinda's side early.
"Miss, all the spies sent out yesterday are dead."
"What?" The middle-aged squire's words made Belinda, who had just woken up, wake up instantly.
"Who's doing it?" Belinda asked.
"It's supposed to be Twilight's subordinates, but it's unclear who exactly they are, and in addition to our people, the spies from Golden Maple, Dawn, and the Simtoo Black Eagle Chamber of Commerce are all dead." The middle-aged attendant bowed his head slightly.
"Bastard, even my people will be killed." Scolding, Belinda's eyes rolled and a smile appeared on her face, "Prepare the car, I'm going to the Watch Castle."
However, before Belinda could go out, Twilight had already arrived with 5 carriages, and during the time Twilight left, in addition to making a big move around Fort Watch, she also had the road from Fort Watch to Snar Town repaired, so now this road is not difficult to walk, and the Mandala Chamber of Commerce and the Windranger Chamber of Commerce, which often walk this road, have contributed money and efforts.
After handing over the five carts of Mithril Ore to Belinda, Twilight and Belinda don't stay long, during which Twilight and Belinda have a tacit understanding, and neither of them mentions the killing of the spies last night, as if there were no two people in the world.
After separating from Belinda, Twilight makes another trip to the Windranger Chamber of Commerce, where she sends them Mithril Mine and Benjes sends someone to buy kobold slaves.
Kobolds are arguably the cheapest of the slaves, as they capture a lot of kobolds in just one gnolls' den, and they are often unsellable due to their low ability and fear of death.
Around noon, Twilight, who had returned to Fort Watch, was taking Anissa to the families of the rebels outside Fort Watch, and Selia sent someone to find him, Twilight asked, it turned out that some of the rebels' families had heard the news from the docks and merchants, saying that the rebels had been defeated and most of them had been captured.
Hearing this, Twilight rushes with Anissa to the towns of Glaven and Snar.
When Twilight arrives at the Lord's Mansion in Graven, a crowd has already gathered here, and Thiria is talking loudly to the families of the rebels, reassuring them, when Twilight rushes over.
"Here, our lord is here, let him talk to you." Selia sees Twilight's eyes light up and hurriedly speaks.
At this time, Twilight pulled Anissa to the steps of the Lord's Mansion, and then faced the rebel family and said loudly, "Quiet, everyone be quiet, I am the lord Twilight here, and this is Anissa Howen, the daughter of the leader of the rebel army, Dakris Howen, now you can ask the two of us if you have anything to ask."
Hearing Twilight's words, the scene of chaos and chaos due to his appearance suddenly falls silent, and after Twilight introduces Anissa, the families of the rebels who had been lucky enough to see Anissa before recognize her.
"My lord, I would like to ask if the rebels were defeated by your forces at Darren Ruth?" An old man with gray hair took two steps forward and asked.
After a pause, Twilight nodded and said, "Yes, the rebels have been defeated, and they are all defeated."
"Ah, how is that possible?"
"Our army is defeated, what are we going to do?"
"yes, what are we going to do?"
"Damn Darius Kingdom, we didn't provoke them."
After Twilight's words came out, I saw that the pot was fried below, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
After letting the discussion continue for a while, Twilight waved her hand and continued, "People, be quiet, listen to me, be quiet, listen to me."
After shouting twice in a row, the voice below was lowered, and Twilight said, "This battle, your leader Dakris has already thought that it may fail, and all of them have found a way out for you in advance, that is me, Preto, you will all be my people in the future."
"Phew, you're also from Darius, who would believe you." A young man angrily interrupts Twilight, and this sentence instantly wins the sympathy of most of the people below.
"I believe in my uncle." That's when Anissa spoke.
Hearing Anissa's words, Twilight smiled and continued, "Listen, Dakris is my eldest brother, I promised him that he would accept you, and he would definitely treat you well, and here you will get the fields, and you will find suitable jobs, of course, if you don't believe me, you can leave, I will not stop you."
Twilight's words are not answered, and those who recognize Anissa can't help but turn their eyes to her.
Perhaps reading the meaning in these people's gazes, Anissa said loudly in a crisp voice: "I vouch for my father and my personality, and what my uncle said is credible, and Preto will be the new home of our brotherhood in the future."
Listening to Anissa's words, there was a slight chatter, and the apprehension on many people's faces disappeared a lot, and it was obvious that Anissa's words must be much more useful than Twilight's words.
(I can't answer if someone asks me which game the characters in this book are from, because most of them are characters in Midnight's mind.) )。
