In the Black Mountain Fortress, the commander of the Noxian Imperial garrison, Thane, was a mysterious man in the eyes of his subordinates, and he always used a huge cloak to hide his huge body, and rarely appeared in front of people.

Unlike the commanders of the other legions of the Empire, their commanders seldom gave such inspiring speeches in front of their soldiers, and there was always a mage standing beside him who was also always hiding himself in the dark, and Thane's speech was always coming through the mouth of the mage, as if their commander did not bother to speak.

Therefore, in the garrison of the Black Mountain Fortress, you will not be able to see the inspiring scene of the Grand Commander standing in front of the army, as is often seen in other legions. In war, their commander's command style is to directly replace words with his own actions, and use his huge size and invincible bravery to open the way for the legions to advance and lead them to victory.

Silence, not a lie.

Swords are always more advantageous than words, and this is the fighting style of their commanders. Over time, this style also formed the fighting style of the Black Mountain Fortress Legion.

And the Black Mountain Fortress Legion also used this iron-solid silence and cruelty, as well as cruel iron and blood to suppress the Black Mountain Range, and maintain the Empire's rule over the area of the former Rose Principality.

At this moment, in the hall of the Black Mountain Fortress, Sain's body was sitting on a huge stone pedestal specially made for his size, and under his buttocks was haphazardly covered with several felt blankets made of bear skins and tiger skins from northern Xinjiang, in fact, Sain didn't care about these felt blankets at all, he didn't even feel the cold at all.

His eyes glowed red at the visitor standing at the bottom of the steps across from him.

"President of the Thieves' Guild Branch, Tucci?"

"Didn't the Empire already agree to the interests of your Society of Thieves in Tathelmir, you already got what you wanted, what do you want now?"

Standing at the bottom of the stairs was Tucci, the source of the plague, and at this moment in this hall, under the flickering magical lights, Tucci had removed the disguises that always hung on the surface of his body, revealing the true face of his origin.

I saw that Tucci was thin and wearing armor, but he still couldn't hide his completely different features from humans, and the pointed and long snout, the long beard on the snout, and the long tail that could not be covered under the armor skirt all revealed the fact that the president of the Taysmir branch of the Continental Thieves Association turned out to be a beast.

But when you take a closer look, you know, no, it's not a beast.

Although Tucci's exterior is completely beastly, those small eyes full of madness and cunning are completely human.

The beast didn't have the kind of eyes full of wisdom.

"Hee-hee, Lord Theon, you really disappointed me, why do you think that?"

Tucci's shrill voice echoed through the halls,

"I'm here to help you this time."

Help?

In the darkness next to Thern, there was a chuckle, it was the mage who spoke for Thern:

"I wouldn't think so."

"The cooperation between the Empire and your Thieves' Guild has given you a lot of advantage every time, and now Tasemir belongs not so much to the Empire as to the Thieves' Guild, doesn't he?"

"Hey, hey!"

"You can't say that. Lord Commander! ”

"You also said that this is the reward that our Thieves Association deserves, we made sacrifices for the Empire's strategy, and suffered the terrible price that the Empire should have suffered, and how many of our elite thieves died in the battle of Tasemir......"

Just when Tucci was still babbling and wanted to continue to list the price paid by the Thieves Guild when the Empire conquered the Tasmir in the first place,

"Alright, alright!"

The other party impatiently interrupted Tuqi and said:

"I don't want to hear you say this in front of me for the hundredth time, so you just say what you want this time!"

Tucci glanced suspiciously at Sean on the steps and into the darkness next to him.

And then

"Well, in fact we really helped you, we got the news that the remnants of the Principality of the Roses, which the Empire has been pursuing, have been found, in a valley somewhere in Black Mountain......"

"What, found the remnants of the principality?" A voice in the darkness interrupted Tucci,

"That Sebastian?"

"Yes, that's right, their leader is the remnant of the former Duchy's Northern Legion, Sebastian."

Sebastian was the young general of the Northern Legion, the young nobleman of the Duchy, and the young knight who once gave Arthur the gift of "attenuation" on behalf of the Marquis of Malfuria, but after the fall of the Duchy of Rose, this young general did not die. Nor did they expect to surrender to the Noxians like most of the nobles of the former principality of the Tathmereir, but raised the banner of resistance against the Noxians like the Zauns.

But unfortunately, the people of the Principality of Roses are not as lucky as the Zaun people, and they have a powerful and powerful man like Victor as a banner, and they can't shake the rule of the Noxians at all. You can only play and fight everywhere, and survive under the siege and suppression of the Noxians.

But even so, it was still a great threat to the rule of the Noxians in the region. Especially when the elves and dwarves of the nearby Whisper Forest have been subjugated to the iron knights of the Noxians. The current Sebastian, this small rebel army, is simply a thorn in the side of the Empire's garrison in the former Roseprincipality region.

Sein's massive body suddenly rose on the steps, and a huge gust of wind spread around him as he stood up.

"Hmph, Sebastian ......"

"Very good, Tucci, thank you very much. Thank you for the news you have brought us, and in return, on behalf of the Empire, I can agree that your Thieves Guild will receive a third of the supplies handed over by the Black Mountain Dwarven tribes. ”

Third?!

Tucci was secretly happy in his heart, this was the reason why he came here, the ore handed over by the dwarf tribe of Montenegro was the greatest benefit of the imperial garrison here, and the proportion of one-third was definitely enough to compensate for his "hard work" in investigating the news this time.

In the eyes of the thieves, everything in this world has a price.

She likes to deal with Noxians, and because of this, the price is clearly marked, and the Noxians are always stingy to give handsomely in return to those who have helped them.

That's why they, the thieves, always like to do business with the Noxians.

At the same time that the Noxian garrison of Montenegro and the thieves association of Tucci set their sights on Montenegro and the only remaining resistance force of the Principality of Roses led by Sebastian, Arthur also came to the Black Mountain Range with his Red Star Warband.
