Chapter 0362: Showdown
Interests are earned, and strength is needed to support them.
The distribution of interests in Raven Street is very rough, only the bottom limit of each is simply divided, and there are still a lot of interests that do not belong to the three parties united. But the alliance of these three parties has upset the balance of power in Coldwind City.
A fire ignited on Raven Street, and the place where the cultists of the evil insects entrenched was set on fire. The civilians in the city were unimpressed by this, but to the ruling class of Coldwind City, it was tantamount to a prairie fire.
It was an open coalition, and the participants did not make any disguise about their identities. An hour after the incident, the City Lord's Mansion reacted to this. The city lord's guard immediately assembled, and the patrol office in charge of law and order sent soldiers to block the streets.
But less than half of the respondents responded.
Fabro hurried to the Wizard's Tower, only to find that the eight chiefs in the tower were only him and the 'Prophecy Chief' Bank. The other six were all gone.
By the time Operation Raven Street was over, the other six Chiefs returned to the tower and immediately declared 'neutrality'. Old Banker is the hardcore of the Longleg family, and he realizes that he has been stabbed in the back by his colleagues, but he is helpless to jump his feet angrily.
The Wizard's Tower is not only the residence of the wizards, but also a fortress that integrates attack and defense. When necessary, it can monitor the entire city and even activate teleportation channels to insert troops directly into the vital areas.
Six of the Eight Chiefs were 'neutral', which immediately greatly weakened the strength of the Longleg Family. But to make matters worse, half of the knights of the City Lord's Guard refused to obey the ban and demanded that the identity of the Inspector General be investigated immediately and the evil existence eliminated.
Before the 'rebellion' of the City Lord's Guard, Fabro accompanied Old Banker to the City Lord's Mansion in a carriage. He felt that something was wrong on the road, most of the people from the city's inspection office were not on duty, and the so-called city-wide blockade was completely unsuccessful.
Coldwind City, the noble district, the city lord's mansion.
The spire building more than 30 meters high stands in front of Fabro. The statue of the Frost Goddess leaps and dances on the outer wall, her sword in hand as if to stride, her form flying and fierce.
The layout of the City Lord's Mansion is magnificent and huge, and it is extremely shocking. Arcane-spawned flowers and shrubs form beautiful geometric shapes, and magical fountains are uncanny day and night. This is not only the residence of the Longlegs, but also the church of the Frost Goddess.
The servant led the way and led Fabro through the mansion. After a labyrinthine journey, he stopped outside a study, and was told by his personal maid.
When the door to the study opened, Fabro's heart chuckled and his heart was half cold. He finally knew where his uneasiness was. The study room should have been full, but now it was mostly vacant.
Except for the descendants of the long-legged family, none of the other powerful people in the city came.
Finished!
Fabro glanced at Old Banker beside him, and was shocked to find that the supporters of the Longlegs family were less than half of the city's forces. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" ”
At the top of the long oval table, Colenfeld, who has not been seen for a long time. The long legs were carried out by the servants. This is an aging patient with thinning hair and a blank gaze that can only act as a mascot.
Next to the 'old longlegs' is the Inspector General Elder Er, who is going to die. Although it can move dynamically, it is also very old, with dark circles under its eyes, age spots, and its loose flesh as if hanging on a shell.
Even if the descendants of the long-legged family are far away from this chief, no one dares to sit beside it. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the Longleg Family is only where it is today with the support of the Abyss Evil.
Cold Fils. The long legs sit on the other side of the 'old long legs' and sit upright. He pointed to the eight seats on one side of the long table and said, "Your Excellency Fabro, now the family has been betrayed. I'm glad you can come. ”
The 'Chief Prophecy' revealed the mystery and said to Fabro, "This morning, some of the City Lord's Guard and most of the Wizarding Order's Chief acted together.
Without any notice or permission, they destroyed a nest on Raven Street.
The castle lord took this matter very seriously and immediately summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures. Your Excellency Fabro, I am deeply grateful that you are firmly on the side of the Longlegs at this moment. ”
it!
Fabro was immediately dumbfounded. He is usually not popular, and no one will notify him if something happens. On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, he only thought that something had happened to the Wizard Regiment, but he didn't expect the City Lord's Guard to join forces with the Wizard Regiment.
Knowing this, he also stayed in the Wizard's Tower to remain neutral!
Now it's troublesome, he's on the wrong side.
Fabro arrived late, and the descendants of the Long-legged family gathered in the study to complete the briefing. The 'old long-legged' lying on the top coughed violently and whispered slowly, "Obviously, someone is provoking the nobles in the city to oppose us. ”
Fabro was fidgeting, his mind racing. As soon as the 'old long-legged' said 'someone provoked', he immediately shouted: "There are indeed people who provoke, and we have all been deceived." As long as the provocateurs are removed, the situation will be eased immediately. ”
Everyone in the study stared at Fabro indifferently. The lifeless old Elgan laughed, "Obviously, the provocateur is called Victor. Hugo. This man was the one Lord Fabro had brought to Coldwind City. ”
"Victor. Hugo is the face of the devil, and he is too good at disguise. I was also one of the blinded people, and I fell for his tricks. I am willing to go and eradicate him myself in order to undo the mistakes I have made. ”
The Longlegs family controls the Frost Church in the city, controls half of the strength of the City Lord's Guard, and also has a staff in the wizarding order. It could have ruled in peace.
But as soon as Zhou Qingfeng's Harmony Chamber of Commerce came, this illusion of 'stability' was exposed. Everyone in the long-legged family's descendants is in danger, and they suddenly find that they have a strong enemy.
Fabro eagerly 'showed his loyalty', one was to protect himself, and the other was to leave the city lord's mansion. As soon as he left, he either went to the Wizard's Tower to hide, or fled back to his manor outside the city.
The chaos in the city does not distinguish between winners and losers, and he will never take the lead.
However, Fabro's thoughts were too conspicuous, and everyone saw through them at a glance. 'Old Long Legs' shook his head, his eyes back and forth between his eldest son, Fils, and 'Old Butler' El.
Everyone knows that Victor suddenly appeared. Hugo is the bane, and eradicating him is equivalent to solving half of the problem. The 'old longlegs' stared at El first, "What does the Ombudsman think?" ”
The old man in human skin had yellow eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I am indeed too careless, and I am not vigilant against the infiltration of foreign forces. But it's not hard to eradicate this scourge, Victor. Hugo's strength is not strong.
That kid just has money. He dug up the ruins of Silver Leaf City in the Black Forest, only for fear of getting millions of gold coins. Kill him, maybe it's still a good thing. ”
Rich but not strong, it sounds like a piece of fat. In the face of the crisis, the long-legged family descendants in the study were a little excited. The 'old longlegs' panted slightly, and turned his head to look at his eldest son, "Fils, you go and deal with that kid." ”
Phils braving the cold. Long Legs stood up, a little ice splintering from his body. He bowed to his father, "Yes, father. I'll fix it. ”
