406. in the first place

Aderoan is an important city located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Hermadine.

The city was first built on the scale of a military fortress, and after hundreds of years of war, after the establishment of the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy, it was handed over to one of the most trusted henchmen of the Grand Duke of Hermadine at that time, and thus became the domain of the Wyl'an family. It was also after this that the city of Aderoan was steadily expanded, and after four major reforms and no less than ten minor reforms and expansions, it finally formed its current scale.

Because of this, the city was able to accommodate 10,000 regular soldiers of the Wy'an Cavalry Legion, as well as 30,000 reservists and auxiliaries, and even stables, armory, and training grounds.

However, due to several reconstructions and layout adjustments, in fact, the city of Adro does not have a strict division of the inner city - that is, the so-called rich and noble districts. However, there is a large part of the slum, which is located in the western part of the city, known as Old Barrom Street, where all kinds of people from all walks of life and nine ranks gather throughout the city of Aderoan, from small gangsters to gray leaders, and even some killers who enter the city to do business usually choose to settle here.

It's not that Woody doesn't want to rectify, but this area involves a lot of gray businesses, involving many interest groups, including the six wealthy merchants of Aderoan City, so he can't be cautious. The reason why Woody turned a blind eye to the disappearance of a large number of beggars and homeless people in Old Barrom Street was not because he wanted to use it as a breakthrough to meddle in the gray business of the city.

It's just that Woody didn't expect that this matter would involve a demon.

Even Woody can't afford to be a heretic.

And very subtlely. Little Barrom Street, just a block away from Old Barrom Street, is one of the most famous landmarks in the city of Aderoan.

Because. One of the six wealthy merchants of Aderoan City, Roberts' mansion. It's right on this street.

However, at this time, under the dark night, there was a long period of longing, and a large number of regular troops of the [Wy'an Cavalry Regiment] were gathering towards Little Barrom Street. None of the soldiers seemed to have any intention of hiding their figures, and they gathered at the designated location with torches and trotted to the designated place, and then began to build the corresponding fortifications.

The sound of heat in the sky quickly woke up the surrounding residents.

Many residents got up and stood by the windows, and by the light of the fire in the street, it was easy to see the culprit of the noise outside. But after all the culprits who made the noise were clearly seen, no one dared to speak. Everyone even closed the curtains like frightened birds, not wanting to find out what was going on outside.

Even the more daring ones closed the curtains and hid aside to open a gap and observe secretly. It's just that these people were soon discovered by the elders of the family, and then they were pulled aside by them and did not let them go near the window. The military restrictions of recent days have made these people who may have been through the war feel that something is wrong. Tonight, I suddenly saw a large number of soldiers assembled, and I didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

The residents of Little Barrom Street were a little nervous and scared.

However, they soon found out again. When the fortifications that most surrounded the entire street had been built, a group of soldiers soon left the fortifications and quickly advanced towards the inner part of Little Barrom Street. New fortifications were then built. It didn't take long for the new fortifications to be built. Someone else went on and built fortifications again.

This time. All the residents of Little Barrom Street knew the seriousness of the matter.

Because the fortifications that have been built now are gradually forming a huge defensive combat network, but in the eyes of real people, this defensive network is a standard defensive array dedicated to the battle powerhouse.

Want to go to war with the powerhouses of the Sanctuary?

The strength of the [Wy'an Cavalry Legion], these residents are naturally clear, and there are even many old people who have retired from this legion. Maybe they can't continue to fight and kill the enemy, but the habits and thinking they trained back then still exist, so they naturally have the eye to understand what is going on.

There was no nonsense, and these older generations quickly ordered their children and grandchildren to pack up their things.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and the residents, instructed by the soldiers, quickly left Little Barrom Street.

At this point, if there are still people who don't understand what is going on, then they are not qualified to live in the city of Aderoan.

In the very center of Little Barrom Street, there is a house with a large area.

The house was not as large as Asazi's mansion, but it was not comparable to any other house - it was about the size of eight houses on Little Barrom Street. It also had a well-sculpted and neatly built vestibule, where many of Roberts' privates were gathered, and they were a little confused about the situation, for what was happening on Little Rohm Street at this time was clearly directed at them.

On the fourth floor of the main building, in front of a seven-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window facing the main entrance, Roberts and a mysterious man in black robes are looking out the street. Compared to the private soldiers below who were at a loss and didn't know what was going on, they naturally knew why the scene in front of them came from.

"My lord, it seems that your identity has been revealed." Roberts is a man who looks to be in his thirties, with a well-trimmed mustache and a well-tailored white gown.

In reality, however, Roberts was over sixty years old, and he was only older than Asazi.

Of course, his accumulation of wealth was not necessarily less than that of Asazi.

It's just that he has already understood the truth of shooting the first bird.

"Peace Council bastards!" The mysterious man hiding in the black robe shouted coldly, "These guys ...... If I hadn't been careless, they would have tried to stop me! ”

"Your Excellency. Don't talk so much about it, let's go to the secret room of the study and hide for a while. Roberts bowed slightly to the black-robed man. Then he said, "They're likely to find out about the underground vault." But the secret room over there is a secret space that I created with visual influences, and they won't notice anything different. …… It's just that the environment inside is relatively narrow, and you may have to be wronged by an adult. ”

"It's okay!" The black-robed man replied coldly, "I will definitely avenge this revenge!" ”

Roberts glanced back at the street, the encirclement had been narrowed to include the entire mansion in the attack, and he knew that the next step was to attack in earnest. After staying in Aderoan for so long, how could Roberts not know the methods of these [Wy'an Cavalry Regiment], so he immediately said, "My lord. Time is running out, so please move now, and I'll take care of the rest of the matter. …… I've taken care of the third chamber, and I haven't left any traces of blood, and they can't find any evidence to prove me. ”

"I'll hide it." The black-robed man said in a deep voice, "You can also take advantage of this incident to get angry and divert your attention." …… Aderoan, it seems that we can't stay any longer, we have to move places. ”

"I understand." Roberts said, bowing down.

The black-robed man quickly turned to leave. Apparently very familiar with the layout of this mansion.

It wasn't until after the black-robed man had left that Roberts got up and looked back at the situation outside the street, his face looking unusually gloomy. Whoever has worked so hard to build a foundation is about to be completely abandoned, obviously they will not be happy. He thinks his layout is close to perfection. The only flaw is in Asazi's body, originally he thought that if there was any flaw in the matter, he would kill Asazi, but he didn't expect that the people of the Peace Council would take advantage of the darkness. And it made such a big deal that even the city lord was involved.

Roberts hated it.

He glanced at the soldier who was already about to break open the door of the mansion with some resentment. Roberts also turned around and quickly went downstairs to look at the vestibule.

When he joined up with all the private soldiers in the vestibule. The iron door of the mansion was broken open.

It was completely in the form of brute force to directly break open the door - the two iron doors were directly kicked out, one smashed several sculptures, and the other flew directly into the second floor, and I didn't know what was smashed, only countless breaking sounds were heard.

Roberts blushed with a face, quickly stepped forward, looked at the few people who were swaggering in, and shouted, "What are you doing here!" ”

After the shouts rang out, he turned his head to look at Woody. Wai'an, with a gloomy expression: "City Lord, I don't understand what you mean by this. ”

"These are the adults from the Peace Council." Woody stretched out his hand to lead Sean and the others next to him, and said in a deep voice, "They are now investigating a matter involving heretics. Mr. Roberts, Mr. Asaz's ......"

Before Woody could finish speaking, Sean had already reached out to stop him, looked Roberts up and down, and then said, "You are Roberts?" ”

"Exactly." Roberts raised his head slightly, his face proud.

To be able to become one of the tycoons of Aderoan City, this arrogance is naturally still there.

But Roberts raised his head and looked arrogant in recognition, but he didn't want Sean to suddenly draw his sword, and a black horse burst out of the air in an instant, directly slashing diagonally across Roberts's body, and dismembering Roberts on the spot.

The people around obviously didn't expect Sean to make a sudden move, so that everyone didn't react.

Even Roberts, with a slight hint of astonishment and confusion on his face, obviously hadn't figured out what was going on. It's a pity that he will never be able to figure out the situation, because Sean's swing of the sword is simply a merciless slash, and the black flames on the blade of the sword completely burned his body into a pile of ashes in an instant, and even his soul was wiped out.

"You ......" The private soldiers around him immediately panicked.

"Take them all." Sean didn't talk nonsense, and his lordly demeanor was completely revealed, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the order instead of Woody.

The soldiers around them were also a little puzzled, but they didn't take it personally, and all of them looked at Woody, after all, this was their master.

"Mr. Woody, don't you need me to say it again?" Sean tilted his head slightly and said lightly.

Woody was so shocked that he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately waved his hand, and the soldiers standing behind him rushed forward like wolves. Faced with the scene in front of them, those private soldiers hired by Roberts naturally wanted to resist, and seeing Sean's such a neat killing method, how could they dare to sit still and wait for death.

"Anyone who dares to fight back will be killed." Sean glanced at these private soldiers who were ready to fight back, and said lightly, "If you surrender on the spot, you will be taken into custody first and wait for the review later." ”

As soon as these words came out, those private soldiers looked at each other, if there was a chance to live, who really wanted to die? It's just that they can't be sure if Sean's words are true or false.

However, Sean ignored them completely, he looked up at the mansion building, in Sean's eyes, the entire mansion was filled with a black abyssal aura and scarlet blood, and of course, gray and white endless resentment.

This is simply a holy place that the three planes of the abyss, the undead, and hell love so much! (To be continued......)
