The air outside the room was slightly cool, and compared to the bustle in the banquet hall, the corridor outside the hall was quiet.

In order to hide the sound of footsteps, Celita took off the high heels used to attend the banquet and held them in her hand, lifted the long skirt that was in the way with the other hand, and ran barefoot in the hallway. As she approached the backyard, she suddenly heard the voice of voice coming from the front.

Hurriedly restraining her steps, Celita quickly lowered her body, bent her waist and reached forward, hiding in the shadow behind the marble carving.

“…… Things changed, and the wizard went on a long trip. ”

Hiding here just enough to hear.

Holding her breath, Cilita cautiously poked out an eye and looked in the direction of the backyard.

Mayor Salos was standing in the middle of the backyard, standing with a figure hidden under a black cloak.

"We already know that." Hiding under the black cloak, the man who couldn't see his face clearly said in a slightly mocking tone, "The mayor's news is inevitably too late. ”

Salos said as if he hadn't heard the man's taunt.

"And what about tonight?"

"Go ahead with the plan, just like the agreement, we will take care of the wizard, and you will be responsible for cutting off the kingdom's henchmen." The man in black smiled faintly, looked back, and said in a teasing tone, "What's more, our Miss Cilita has already come to the door, so we can't let her go home disappointed." ”

Salos was startled, followed the sight of the man in black, and shouted.

"What people are there! Come out! ”

Celita's mood sank to the bottom.

Knowing that he had been discovered, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so he fortunately threw away the high heels in his hand and simply stood up.

Looking at Cilita walking out from behind the sculpture, Mayor Salos's eyes narrowed slightly.

If there was a little hesitation before, now the last hesitation in my heart is gone.

There is no doubt that there is no turning back for him.

"Do you know what Saros Covifort, as a subject of His Majesty the King, colluded with the rebels and plotted to overthrow the kingdom!" Looking into Saros's eyes, Celita exclaimed.

"Tsk, the momentum is commendable, no wonder Aran is obsessed with you." The man in black grinned and looked at Saros, "Go about your business, just leave it to us here." ”

Glancing deeply at the man in black, Sarah nodded.

"I'll leave it to you."

With that, he turned and walked in the direction of the hallway.

"Stop!"

Celita shouted, and was about to catch up with her, when suddenly a dark shadow came to her.

Reacting almost instinctively, Cilita's knife slammed into the dagger with a thud, and it rolled to the side. Almost brushing the hem of her skirt, only to hear a few swishing sounds breaking through the air, and several crossbow arrows shot her original position into a hornet's nest.

The dinner knife in her hand was flipped, and Celita easily cut off the long skirt that was in the way, revealing two white and toned long legs under the skirt.

"The reaction is good," Fenrir nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of appreciation, and the raised right hand had an extra scimitar at some point, "I have long heard that the young lady of the Gondal family also has good attainments in swordsmanship, but I didn't expect that not only swords, but also daggers can be used so superbly." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Celita slowly stood up from the ground, the knife in her hand was on her chest, staring at the man in black standing in the middle of the backyard with a solemn expression, and the corner of her eyes moved along the edge of the courtyard wall.

"Is now the time to care about this?" Fenrir shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "In a little while, the mercenaries of the Cweft family will surround this place." ”

Almost as the words fell, the sound of dense footsteps came from the other end of the corridor......

……

The moment the wooden door was kicked open, Sir Tours kicked the low wooden table towards the doorway.

"Ahh

The low wooden table that was smashed hit his knees, and the kobold mercenary who rushed into the house first, rolled forward.

Picking up the silver spoon on the table, Tours thrust it into the kobold mercenary's eye socket, snatching the macehead from his hand and slamming it down, nailing it through his skull.

Frightened by the sudden turn of events, Rembert's pants were wet.

There was no time for Tours to hesitate, and before the kobold mercenary at the door had fully rushed in, he grabbed the mace-headed mallet and smashed the window directly with his shoulder, rolled over and rolled out of the window.

However, before he could stand firm, three sounds of breaking the air came into darkness.

Poof——!

The sound of sharp weapons piercing through flesh rang out, and three spears pierced Sir Tours' body, pushing him against the wall behind him.

"Hmm!"

The upwelling blood blocked his throat and gushed irrepressibly from the corners of his mouth.

His clothes were soaked in blood, and Sir Tours' eyes widened in disbelief at the three spears that pierced his abdomen and chest, and then he slowly raised his head to look at the man standing behind the guard.

That face was none other than the mayor of Boulder City.

"Sa...... Ross ......"

A voice full of resentment squeezed out between his teeth.

His pupils were bloodshot, and Tours stared at Salos as if he wanted to carve this face into his soul and take him to hell.

Looking down at Sir Tours with an expressionless face, Salos said nothing and waved his hand.

The three spears were drawn in unison, and Tours snorted like a torn rag, and fell silently in a pool of blood.

Looking at the scene that happened outside the window, Lenbert Karel, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Salos standing outside the window tremblingly, and his pants were wet all over the ground.

What was happening in front of him was beyond his expectations.

He didn't expect, nor did he think, that this old fox, who was accustomed to arming himself with conspiracy, would have such a fierce and decisive side.

Watching his opponent walk away, Salos then looked up, looked beyond the broken wooden window, looked at the frightened Speaker Lembert, and smiled gently.

"What's wrong? My dear Speaker? ”

Trembling and speechless, Rembert just shook his head vigorously, and then looked at him with a begging look.

Seeing that Rembert was speechless, Salos sighed softly and continued.

"It's a pity that you have failed to live up to the expectations of the toiling people of Boulder City and the industry alliance, and you have colluded with the feudal lord of the kingdom for your own selfish desires, trying to send innocent young men to the battlefield that does not belong to them."

"No, please don't do that, I didn't promise him anything—" Rembert pleaded desperately as he fell to his knees.

"No need to quibble, I already have enough evidence. Of course, merciful me, will give you a chance to defend yourself in court. ”

After speaking, Salos, who was standing outside the window, glanced at the kobold mercenary behind Rembert and ordered.

"Tie him up."

"Don't!"

"Yes!"

At the same time that Rembert was taken down by kobold mercenaries, a massacre was taking place at the Doge's Palace, two blocks from the town hall.

The mercenaries, armed with torches and swords, attacked the governor's palace in the night, slaughtering all the governor's guards guarding the gate, and stormed the courtyard like a bamboo.

Screams rang out one after another.

The maid, who was desperately trying to escape, was chased by the mercenaries behind her and fell to the ground. The butler, armed with a long sword, tried to rally the servants of the Governor's Mansion to resist, but no matter how high his kung fu was, he couldn't stand the crowd, and was soon hacked to death by the mercenaries who swarmed him.

Looking at her son who had fallen in front of her, Tours' wife was forced into the study of the Doge's Mansion by the mercenaries with her little daughter in her arms, holding her little daughter, who was less than five years old.

Looking at the mother and daughter in the study, the mercenary captain with a scar on his face smiled evilly, and glanced at the mercenary holding a torch next to him.

"Set fire! Haha, burn me! ”

"No, please! Please let us go! ”

Tours' wife crawled over with pleading, but the wooden door slammed shut in front of her.

Torches were dropped on the ground, leaving only unbridled laughter and desperate slamming doors, echoing through the blood-stained corridor.

A raging fire ignited, engulfing the Doge's Palace, destroying all incriminating evidence.

As if they had never been there, the mercenaries methodically withdrew from the Doge's Palace, and before the militia regiments arrived in a deliberate attempt to delay time, they were reduced to pieces and hid into the night of the streets.

All night, there was chaos in Boulder City.

Taking advantage of the fire at the Doge's Palace to attract the attention of the town's militia, Salos's eldest son, Green Covifort, led the well-armed Sixth Militia Regiment to occupy the barracks and armory at the north gate of Boulder City, and captured the eldest son of Rembert, who was the ordnance steward, for dereliction of duty and collaborating with the enemy.

The net, which had been compiled for several months, was suddenly cast with such speed that many people did not react at all.

This was not just a gamble by Saros, but by all the businessmen and politicians of the Covifort faction in the entire industry alliance.

Thunderbolt down the dissidents and label them as lackeys of the feudal lords, deter the wavering neutral factions, unite the citizens and merchants of the entire Boulder City, and put Prince William, who promised Boulder the right to set its own tariffs, to the throne.

In return, Prince William promised peace in Boulder and would help the Coviford family to secure the first place in the Boulder Industry Alliance, ending the previous pattern of factions within the Industry Alliance.

Tonight, Boulder City is not destined to be peaceful.

Many citizens who were still immersed in their sleep were awakened by the chaotic sound outside the window.

And at the same time, the hotel outside the city gates.

Yiran, who was sleeping in the dark, suddenly opened her eyes.
