Chapter 0363 - Slip Away
Fils walked out of the study, and a dozen family knights left with him.
The servants were to send the 'old legs' back to the bedroom. The head of the house raised his hand to stop it, and turned his gaze to the lifeless old El.
The 'Abyss Sacrifice' disguised as ChΓ©ng RΓ©n showed a contemptuous sneer, bowed his head and said to the 'Old Longlegs', "According to the contract, I will not give up your Longlegs family. In the same way, according to the contract, your next head of the house must believe in my lord. β
The arms of the 'old long-legged' fell weakly, and the heavy wheezing was like a leaky bellows, hoarse and accompanied by a dry cough. His voice was anxious and remorseful, and there was nothing to be done.
'Old El' turned away, his senile body wriggling like dough, his voice twisting and echoing through the study like that of a mad patient. Hugo, black hair and black eyes, an alien race, this is exactly what I am looking for. β
Outside the study, Fils leads the team to eradicate outsiders who pose a threat to the family. As he walked down the corridor to the courtyard outside the mansion, he was just about to open his mouth to order the knights of the family to pack up and set off, when a pre-question appeared in his mind.
"Victor. Where is Hugo at the moment? β
The knights of the clan were already fully armored and solemn, waiting for a fight. Hearing Fils's inquiry, they looked at each other a few times, as if they both felt that this was just a small problem, and someone must know.
But ......, everyone looked at it, and no one answered. Half a minute later, they realized that the Office of Internal Inspection, which is normally responsible for providing information, had not been sent.
"Call Fabro, he should know." Fils immediately made a decision, "Let's gather our team, send someone to the Harmony Warehouse, and call someone from the Inspection Department at the same time. β
Every time an order is given, someone immediately carries it out. The long-legged family has had a good ride in recent decades, and even when it encounters challenges, it is often an external enemy. encountered Zhou Qingfeng, who came to dig the corners of the wall so quickly, it was indeed half a point slower.
Compared with the slow mobilization of the city lord's mansion, Zhou Qingfeng, who had just reached a compromise with the 'civil strife' forces, was much faster. Everyone wants to exchange the smallest possible price for greater benefits, the strength of the long-legged family is still there, and whoever rises first will be unlucky.
Several of the leaders of the Wizarding Order verbally promised to fully support Zhou Qingfeng's existence in Coldwind City, and demanded that the Longlegs Family clear the 'Abyss Sacrifice' and dismantle the nasty institution of the Supervision Department.
But when the chiefs returned to the Wizard's Tower and declared 'neutrality', they used the watchful eye on the tower to keep an eye on the city, waiting to see who was more unlucky, and then deciding who to help?
The magnates of Coldwind City, led by old Arad, are even more chicken thieves. They used the matter of the 'Evil Insect Sacrifice' as their hole card, and they also wanted to dismantle the Supervision Department controlled by the 'Abyss Sacrifice', and they also pushed Zhou Qingfeng to bear the wrath of the Long-legged family.
For the calculations of these little families, Zhou Qingfeng scoffed. He had the least number of men, and he didn't think about resisting hard from the beginning. After deciding to mobilize the wizarding group and the city lord's guard, the first order he gave was......
Fall back!
The fire had been lit, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to stay in a house full of firewood. After the sacrifice of killing evil insects on Raven Street, everyone else thought that he was going to do a big job in Coldwind City. But he was ready to lead the team and leave the city quickly.
"Spend more money to hire people and hire cars, first transport people and goods to the town outside the city, and disperse the evacuation."
"Don't care about the jars. If the goods can be sold, they will be sold, and if they cannot be sold, they will be burned, and the focus will be on transporting people. β
"For coolies and displaced people who can't be transported, just send some money to dismiss as much as possible. The chaos in Coldwind won't last long, and we need them back. β
What is a trench, this is a trench!
The warehouse that was finally built, the goods that were purchased with great difficulty, and the fruits of the accumulation of countless gold coins, were burned as they were said. Before the sacrifice of exterminating evil insects, Zhou Qingfeng issued this order.
Rubio couldn't help but weakly persuade: "Master, even if we want to leave, there is no need to burn down the warehouse, right?" It took more than 200 people nearly a month to build. When it's built, it's ...... burned."
Rubio was extremely distressed, but Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "It's only worth a hundred gold coins, and if you burn it, you will burn it." It was built to proclaim, 'We're going to settle here.'" To burn it is to declare, 'I'd rather self-destruct than cheapen anyone.'" β
Hundreds of gold coins are still said to be worthless? Rubio was dizzy at the sight of the number. But the order given by Zhou Qingfeng was categorical and could not be changed.
In fact, because the business of consolidation is very hot, the goods that arrive in the warehouse every day will be snapped up. The female slaves purchased in the early stage, the recruited trainees, and the trained coolies were transported away and evacuated in a long time according to the order.
Due to prior arrangements, Rubio rented and purchased a large number of horses and carriages in the city, which was very convenient for transporting people and goods. He was mainly distressed by the warehouse building, which was something that could be seen in real terms.
A fire has a great impact on people's hearts!
At least when Powell saw the flames rising into the sky, his brain buzzed and he was stupid. His first reaction was that the warehouse had been attacked. But when he got closer, he found that the newly built two-story building had long been empty, and he realized that Victor. Hugo ran away.
As an undercover agent, Powell has more sources. But before the operation on Raven Street in the docklands began, he sensed that something was wrong from various clues.
When he learned that the wizarding group was actually involved in this matter, he immediately understood that the rule of the Longleg family was unstable, and the city was about to change!
If it is said that the wizarding group has always 'listened to tunes and does not listen to announcements', it has maintained a considerable independence. Then the City Lord's Guard should be a force firmly controlled by the Longleg Family.
Now half of this force actually went to kill the semi-public evil insect sacrifice without saying hello, which is tantamount to announcing that it is out of control.
It's no wonder that the Longlegs family isn't angry because of this!
But how will the angry long-legged family deal with the current situation, don't think about it, you have to make an example of the monkey first, and clean up Victor who caused such trouble. Again.
Powell hurried to the Harmony Warehouse to see the head-to-head showdown between the two sides and see Victor. How strong is Hugo? See how many people will die in the Longlegs family?
Result in a fire!
Victor. Hugo, the bastard, turned the cold wind city upside down, and he actually ran away at the end!
When the flames burned, the poor people of the artisan district fled in all directions. Many evacuated coolies thanked Hugo for the benefits and took the initiative to put out the fire. But the warehouse piled up firewood and grass in advance, and multiple fire points broke out at the same time, and the fire was out of control.
Powell's mind was confused, and he realized that the situation in Coldwind City would not develop in the direction that everyone expected. Enraged Fils. Long Legs must find an unlucky guy to Liwei, what will he do?
When the heat wave of the entire warehouse was rolling and the air was rumbling, Fils, who had assembled a large group of people, delayed for more than an hour before arriving. More than 50 murderous knights and more than 300 attendants surrounded the ......
A fire ground!
What about people?
At this moment, people thought that Victor. Hugo invested heavily in Coldwind City, but he was an outsider after all. As long as he is ruthless enough, this guy can run away at any time.
In Cold Wind City, you have to fight to the death.
