Night.

In a remote private dock, a group of people are silently busy.

At night, the pier was silent, and the sea was empty, and there were no ships in sight except for the three large ships docked at the pier.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" the overseer urged anxiously.

The sailors quickly moved the cargo out of the secret warehouse and sent it to the big ship one by one.

Outside the dock, under the cover of night, the group was quietly approaching.

"My lord, there's Stirling's secret dock ahead!"

A scout wearing a black hood and wrapped in a pitch-black leotard whispered to a knight in heavy armor and a heavy helmet: "Most of the goods are in the warehouse, and they are being urgently loaded and ready for transshipment!"

"There were 47 sailors, 10 guards on the docks, and there was no sign of Sterling and the important men under him. ”

"Hmph, Sterling, old fox!"

The heavily armored knight sneered and said, "Act according to the plan, kill all the people, and leave the goods behind!"

"Yes!"

With an order, the soldiers coldly drew their swords, and the teams sank into the darkness and swooped down on the docks.

Karl stood beside the heavily armored knight, motionless as the fierce and agile soldiers silently disappeared into the darkness.

Soon, fierce battles and screams were heard one after another, and occasionally a violent explosion ignited a fire, illuminating the figure of the fierce fight, and then it was quickly extinguished, leaving only the dull sound of swords colliding and piercing into flesh.

The course of the battle was very short, and with the cover of the night, the heavily armed hundred-man raid far exceeded the limit of what the gangsters and smugglers could resist, and almost a single contact tore through the cordon of the dock, and the one-sided slaughter began quickly and efficiently.

The heavily armored knight stood in the darkness, silently listening to the entire battle process, until the last miserable howl stopped abruptly, and listened quietly for a while, before he snorted coldly and said: "Sure enough, it is an old fox, decisive enough, and even the smuggling base that he has carefully managed is willing to give up." ”

As one of the largest smugglers in the Silver Tide City, Sir Stirling certainly has no shortage of masters with extraordinary strength and elites who can fight and kill, but there are only ten guards and a group of ordinary sailors waiting on this dock, and there is not even a single person named or surnamed under Sterling, which is still slightly unexpected by the heavily armored knights.

The heavily armored knight strode forward and walked up to the dock, by this time the battle was over, and the well-trained warriors had re-lit the torches, counted the wounded, and carefully examined the battlefield, mending the swords to the enemies who were not yet dead, and the whole process was busy but not chaotic, fast and efficient

Karl followed the heavily armored knight to the docks, but as soon as he stepped onto the docks, he stopped in an instant—the scene on the docks was too bloody and tragic.

I saw that on the empty dock, there were corpses lying down horizontally, none of these corpses were complete, some of their entire necks were cut off by a knife, and the rolled flesh and blood even exposed the broken trachea, and some of the heads were split open, and the snow-white brains and scarlet blood were mixed together and flowed all over the ground, and some were cut off at the waist, and the internal organs were sprinkled on the ground, how bloody and bloody it was.

The strong impact made Carl feel sick to his stomach, but fortunately, after awakening the knight's bloodline, his control over his body also increased a lot, and he suppressed the desire to vomit after enduring the discomfort, and stood in place expressionlessly.

Groups of soldiers quickly cleaned up the docks. They were sturdy, agile in their movements, and still had a fierce murderous aura left on their bodies, ignoring the severed limbs on the dock, just quickly controlling the ships, taking inventory of the warehouses, checking the goods, and methodically carrying out the finishing work of the battle.

The dock was a secret smuggling colony controlled by Sir Stirling, and the wharf warehouse was home to most of Sir Stirling's shady smuggling cargo. After Sir Stirling was stripped of his knighthood and convicted by the Silver Tide Council, all his legal property, including the manor, the estate, the fleet, and the goods in the Chamber of Commerce's warehouse, were seized by order of the City Hall, and no one else could touch them. However, the underground business and goods that Sterling originally controlled caused many underground forces to carve up their desires.

However, due to the legacy of Sir Sterling's past and the Wave Trident family behind him, these coveted forces are still in the wait-and-see stage. Only Sir Stirling's nemesis, Knight Hannibal, who was backed by the mermaid family, made a decisive move and attacked one of Sir Stirling's most important smuggling strongholds with a thunderous force.

The reason why Carl came with Knight Hannibal this time was also because Knight Hannibal rose too fast and did not have a strong enough master under him, so he asked Lady Loris for help. Lady Loris pushed the boat along the way, and sent a knight like Karl with a distinguished record.

However, things went more smoothly than expected, and the old fox Sterling contracted faster than most people thought after smelling a bad smell. Knight Hannibal originally planned to storm this dock, in addition to taking Sir Stirling's most important smuggling stronghold and biting off the biggest fat, more importantly, he wanted to take the opportunity to concentrate his firepower to deal with a few of Sir Stirling's cronies and weaken his strength. Unexpectedly, the old fox was even more cunning than he imagined, and there was not a single cronie left behind such an important dock and warehouse.

"Head, we've sent it!"

A young man in leather light armor and who looked like a sailor finished inspecting the warehouse, ran over with suppressed excitement, and reported in a loud voice: "Report leader, we found a thousand pounds of snow sugar in the warehouse, a warehouse of calico, and ten boxes of tea bricks sealed with oil wax without any signs of opening, and fifty jars of the finest olive oil ......."

Knight Hannibal raised his hand slightly, stopped the young sailor's report, and then turned slightly and said to Karl: "Mr. Roland, according to the rules, one-third of all the proceeds of this operation will go to Madame Loris, you can count it yourself." ”

Carl didn't speak, just nodded faintly, but didn't move. His current status is to some extent the overseer on behalf of Lady Loris, overseeing the distribution of benefits, but now he is disgusted when he sees the tragic situation on the battlefield, and he is interested in counting the profits himself.

Seeing that Karl did not move, Knight Hannibal finally showed a smile on his serious and cold face, and said: "Of course, according to the rules, one-tenth of all the proceeds will also belong to you. ”

Karl continued to be silent, not that he didn't know how much a tenth of the harvest of this operation was, but he didn't know if this income was an appearance fee for a knight-level combat force like him, or some kind of unspoken hush money.
