"Go down, this is my destiny and the end of Tree, and no one can change it." Tritel stopped his subordinate from speaking and motioned for him to leave the study.

“。。。。。 Don't worry, my lord. The subordinates are gone, you... Take care.. Cook blushed and said a somewhat slurred goodbye before turning away.

After the henchmen were far away, Trittle stepped forward to close the door. Then, he sat back down at his desk and pulled out a steam pistol from the lower right drawer. As if performing a ritual, Trittle carefully completed the loading and inflation.

Holding and looking at the pistol in his hand, Trittle couldn't help but be proud, Oswell, Walter and others were all watching his jokes from the sidelines, all parties wanted to use him and Achilly City to achieve their own goals, but all this could not be achieved anymore, yes, no one could use him anymore.

Taking a sip of the wine, Trittle raised his gun, pressed the muzzle of the gun to his right temple, and pressed the trigger.

Napoli stood in the study of the lord of Achilles, looking around. Luxuriously decorated, with thick leather blankets at the door and under the table, and even above the bookshelf on the side, there hangs an extremely complete splinter-claw lion skin. The bookshelves are also made of golden chestnut wood, a strange tree that only grows in a few parts of the Church, and has always been the first choice for magicians to make magic staffs, if you let those poor sours who have to talk about half a sky-high price for a low-quality magic stone see, it is estimated that six out of ten will try to steal the bookshelf, and the rest will be robbed on the spot.

The young monarch shook his head with some emotion, just one study is so luxurious, I really don't know how much wealth the entire city can have, and it is no wonder that the Treeu family dares to provoke the royal family, and even secretly exercises the monarch's team, and acts unsubdued. Napoli looked at the desk, the table, and behind the chair, the dark red blood was still there, and it was here that the previous lord of Achilly killed himself.

According to the servant who collected the corpse, the lord of the city died with a smile. It is hard to imagine that this powerful and well-fed monarch would end his life so decisively, and give up the entire city to the southward counterinsurgency king. Even under the pressure of the high-ranking monarchs and cronies arranged by him, the whole receiving process did not even spark.

Napoli noticed that his boss, Minister Groni, was watching the street through the floor-to-ceiling window of his study, and he couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency Gronny, is there any movement outside?" ”

Groni turned his head to look at Napoli and sighed: "No, nothing~ No riots, no protests, just watching the lively idlers, and the caravans that are always busy." ”

Naples frowned, and asked in confusion: "My lord, the Maharaja has been stationed for more than half a day, and these residents of the city, haven't they noticed that this city has been seized by the royal king?" ”

"Of course I noticed that when the Maharaja entered the city, there were many people watching the excitement from the sidelines!" Groni sighed, "No wonder this guy died so simply, he has the heart of the king, but he can't control the heart of the people." Whether my king is attacking or besieging the city, he can't deal with it, the city is inevitable, and this process will not take too long. ”

"Well, Lord Gronnie, according to the preliminary observations below, the city of Achilly is quite well defended. At the same time, if he had not laid off 30,000 veterans, but had mobilized urgently, there would have been nearly 100,000 soldiers who could go out for defense at that time. This number greatly exceeds the number of my king, and we will definitely not be able to attack it in the short term... So, why did he hand over the city to the royal family so easily? Naples continued.

"Heh, this is the case in the short term, but in the follow-up Maharaja, as soon as the ammunition supply arrives, can this city still be defended? When the city is broken, he will have to die the same, and in the end, his stubborn defense only consumes the strength of my king, and by the way, gives more time to other rebels. Groni sneered.

The minister walked to the desk, picked up the inkwell, opened it, sniffed it carefully, closed the lid, and put it in his pocket. Then, he looked up at Naples and continued to explain: "Look, his death is a hundred, even His Majesty, who hates the Tree family deeply, will not pursue it anymore, well, I thought, Your Majesty will send someone from the Ministry of Justice to investigate, but when the time comes, even if he finds it, he will probably have to find a place to release it." As for the other southern rebels, heh, when they get the news of the loss of Achilly City, they are probably all burned in the ass, and they will no longer have the heart to trouble his family. Well, listening to what that non-commissioned officer Cook said, it seems that this guy let his family run away a few days ago. ”

Napoli nodded, and he understood the city lord's thoughts, this guy betrayed the interests of the alliance of southern unsubordinate forces in exchange for the vitality of his family. Originally, the plan to quell the rebellion was to take the city of Achilli within a month, and after resting, attack the city of Loklian as soon as possible, and take the city as quickly as possible. Now the city of Achilli has been surrendered to the Maharaja of the rebellion by the former city lord, which allows the Maharaja to carry out the plan of attacking Loklian at least a month in advance.

Groni touched his chin and ordered Naples: "Stinky boy, now that the city is in hand, you have to let the Maharaja take over as soon as possible and completely control the situation!" Well, also, give an order to the other aid kings who are on the way to assemble, and let them hurry to the city of Achilly to join together, and finally, Your Majesty, too, will inform him of this good news! Go ahead and be serious, this is just the beginning of the big war, and in the future, we will be busy! ”

"Yes!" Naples bowed and walked out of the study.

At this time, Scarlet and the others were searching in a tavern in the middle of the city. The location of this tavern is so poor that no business-minded person would operate in a place where such wild dogs can only find food. The facilities inside are old, whether it is the bar counter or the dining table, they are all old and sloppy. There were only a few half-empty wine barrels in the inner hall, pretending to be some bad wine, and they didn't plan to do business at all.

Yanna touched the dust on the table, it was thick, it seemed that no one had used it since it opened. A glance at the bar shows that it's cleaner, but it's very limited. After a few careful sniffs, in addition to the uncomfortable smell of dust and the smell of rotting furniture, there was a smell that made her very familiar--- "Deep Dark Worm".

To be exact, it was the smell of the Dark Worm's family, which was very similar to the strange person she had met in the wasteland before, but these breaths gave her a much weaker feeling. Thinking of this, Yanna couldn't help but look at Mitre on the side, this recruit is still quite powerful, not only found a small group of people who fled, but also traced the starting point of the other party.

"Well, those dependents are indeed active here, judging from the residual smell, this should not be a temporary stronghold, but an abandoned official stronghold!" Yanna spoke to the crowd.

"Sorry, it was too far away for me to stop them." Mitre shyly apologized.

"Ah, I don't blame you for this~" Yanna waved her hand, "After all, you only have a gun, it's hard to stop them." Well, anyway, if you find this nest, it's already a big deal. ”

Scarlet looked at Mitre, who was a little embarrassed, and then turned to look at the other people who were still busy. Duo Fang was using a simple instrument to test for residual drink, Noelle and Pole were working together, moving large pieces of furniture and trying to find out what might be a secret passage, and Sael on the other side was interested in the wine cabinet in the bar.

"Did you find out? The other party left in a hurry, which should leave a lot of traces. Scarlet asked the crowd.

"We don't have one here!" Noelle shook her head, "This room is too small and has little furniture. This floor has also been checked, and there is no hidden basement. ”

"Well, I don't have any of them here, these drinks are just rancid ordinary starch wines. Other things, other utensils, there are not many clues left. Duo Fang also shook her head.

Scarlet looked at Sael, who was still looking through the furnishings, and urged, "Sael, where are you?" What did you find? ”

"Ah, I don't have it here~~" Sai Er came back to his senses and stuck out his tongue: "I'm sorry, I'm a little fascinated by studying the structure of the wine cabinet." ”

"What's so nice about just a broken wine cabinet?!" Yanna looked at Sai Aire, who was dressed as a hot girl, and complained.

"Hey~! This cabinet is different! Sai Er hurriedly explained seriously: "This wine cabinet is embedded in the wall, and then, from the structural point of view, this cabinet is embedded deeply!" ”

"What!" Scarlet was alert and continued to ask, "Are you sure?" Saiel?! ”

"I'm sure, Captain Scarlet!" Saiel put his right index finger on his cheek and explained as he thought about it: "This tavern is a single-story bungalow design, the space is not very large, but the interior area is obviously smaller than the outside. I looked around and saw that the wall behind the wine cabinet took up quite a bit of space. ”

After hearing this, Yanna immediately ran to the wine cabinet and threw away all the bottles and cans on the wine cabinet. Soon, she was deflated and said, "Tsk, there's no mechanism on this!" I thought one of these bottles could be turned on in a few clicks! ”

"How can the mechanism be so easy to find!" Scarlet complained: "Go look for it elsewhere, it should be nearby." ”

Soon, under the exploration of everyone, a hidden keyhole was soon discovered, and this cross-shaped hole was very small and hidden.

Scarlet looked at Sael and asked, "Sael, can you find a way to open this?" ”

Saiel looked embarrassed, shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, captain, pick locks or something, I'm not good at it, and besides, I don't have any tools with me." ”

Yanna snorted, looked carefully at the wine cabinet, turned her hair and asked, "Saiel, can you tell me the approximate opening location of this mechanism?" ”

"It's right here~" Saiel stepped forward, feeling a thin slit, "If I'm not mistaken, this wine cabinet should be able to retract into the wall, revealing a hidden entrance or something." ”
