Chapter 36: Cutting off the black hand
There are three layers of defense in the Norma Mountains, which are built on the three main veins of the Norma Mountains. The northernmost line is the "Gold Coins" line, which is a little less precipitous, but the materials used for its construction are the most solid, and the walls are so strong that they can withstand even the bombardment of magic.
Over the years, Thrace and Moray fought many battles around this line, at most once almost completely capturing it, only to retreat in the end.
The key to this lies in the second line of defense, the "silver coin".
The terrain of the "silver coin" defense line is extremely high and dangerous, which really makes people feel powerless to look up to the sky and sigh. Siege equipment such as catapults erected here can even cover the entire gold defense line. It was by relying on this line of defense that Thrace had to retreat in the end, no matter how much success it achieved on the gold coin defense line.
It's just that, compared with the solidity of the gold coin defense line, the building materials of the silver coin defense line are much worse, and it still relies more on the dangers of mountains and rivers, just like a basketball player who is two meters tall but has mediocre skills, relying on innate quality to break into the rivers and lakes.
The southernmost of the three lines of defense is the "copper coin" defense line. To be honest, the level of this line of defense is very average, both in terms of construction materials and steepness, it is far inferior to the first two. The only advantage of it is that it is not within the range of the Silver Defense, and even if the Thracians capture the Silver Defense, this defense line can hold out for a while, fighting for a chance to turn around, or a chance to escape.
Compared with the first two lines of defense, the living conditions of this third line of defense are much better, small villas with independent courtyards abound, and many nobles will live here when they are about to fight, and only when the battle situation is urgent, they will really go to the first two lines of defense to supervise the battle.
Viscount Serrajiong was in charge of an important pass in the Copper Coin Defense, and through the oil of the convoys in and out of the gates, mainly the convoys carrying goods into the customs, he had gained a great fortune in recent months, not only to enjoy a life of wine and wine on the front line not far from the battlefield, but also to greatly strengthen the strength of the family, employing more than a dozen veteran adventurers alone.
Strength and ambition are twins, and since Viscount Serrajiong's strength has increased greatly, his ambition has naturally increased greatly. Although he did not have the courage to stand at the forefront to fight for meritorious service for the time being, this did not prevent him from expanding the scope of his usual "encroachment" and attacking some things that he had not dared to do before.
"Sing if you want to sing" song and dance troupe is his new goal.
This song and dance troupe has a deep background, and it is said that it involves the Marquis of Dadalion, but no matter how deep the background is, it will never be related to an inconspicuous dancer.
The reason why Viscount Serrajiong "bought" this dancer from Captain Semiramis was, on the one hand, that he was very infatuated with the other party's beauty, mainly because of the seductive dance, which made him intoxicated, and on the other hand, it was also a temptation, and he wanted to test the attitude of the federal top brass towards him through this incident.
Politics is a very complicated thing, and even if you have the strength, you can't be as reckless as a bull, and people who can only go on a rampage can't climb to a very high position. Viscount Serrajiong decided to test this matter a little first, to see if the higher-ups would criticize him for this incident, or how they would react.
According to his judgment, if the higher-ups will beat themselves up for this kind of thing, it means that they are not happy to see their knighthood rise and need to make more preparations, and if the higher-ups do not react to this, then they can start the next step of the trial...... Until the opinion of the top is completely determined.
If the pandas could know what Viscount Serrajiong was thinking, they might sigh "politics is really complicated", or they might mutter, "This man really thinks too much", but they don't know.
They only know that Viscount Serrajiong, who bullies men and women, is just a waste of food to stay in the world!
Under the cover of stealth spells, a group of masters, all of whom possessed stealth abilities comparable to those of professional thieves, quickly passed through the entire silver coin defense line and came to the copper coin defense line, the outskirts of Viscount Sera Jiong's station.
The station is a rather spacious mountain pass, which has been built to look like a pass. There are many pigeon cage-style houses on a large artificial platform on the inside of the pass, and on the hillside not far away, there is a small but exquisite villa. There are flowers and trees in the villa, and there is a small stream flowing through it, which is very elegant.
"This guy will enjoy!" Yunero whispered, "I thought that this villa should be placed on the earth, and it is conservatively estimated to be ten million." ”
"10 million? This kind of villa located in a military restricted area cannot be bought for 100 million. Wang Tuhao, who has the most say on the issue of money, shook his head, "It's not a matter of money, on the earth, at least in various stable big countries, if you want to build a villa in a military restricted area, you need not only money, but more importantly, identity." ”
"Do you have such a villa?" asked the panda curiously.
"If you're asking about New Zealand, then there is. Wang Tuhao replied, "After all, I am also a big taxpayer in the Otago District, so I still have this privilege." Of course, New Zealand's privileges are less valuable......"
"New Zealand, I know, what is that Otago district?" asked Panda.
"A large village that produces beef, lamb, wool and dairy products. Wang Tuhao replied, "Of course, compared with several big cities in our country, most of the so-called 'important areas' in the world are especially rural, and they are only towns or urban-rural junctions, and there are probably less than 100 places that are really qualified to be called cities." ”
"How big is that place?" asked Semiramis.
"More than 10,000 square kilometers, anyway, it's not big, it's vast and sparsely populated, and it is estimated that the population is not as large as that of ordinary small counties. Wang Tuhao sighed, "When I first got there, I often drove around in an off-road vehicle, but then I gradually lost interest. I knew I should have chosen to go to southern Europe, at least it would be more lively. ”
For the troubles of this kind of local tyrants, the pandas are really speechless.
Fortunately, this conversation has come to an end, and they have come to the door of the villa.
Viscount Sera Jiong is obviously very confident in the security level of the Norma Line, there are only two ordinary soldiers guarding the door of this villa, and the number of guards in the villa is not much, there are only about ten in total, on average, each traverser only needs to deal with two.
In fact, they don't even have to deal with both.
Sean, who was tricked and dragged by Semiramis to join the cabaret troupe, used the ability of a druid to scatter the seeds of hypnotic flowers into the villa. The hypnotic flowers, controlled by her magical powers, quickly took root and sprouted, blooming small pale yellow flowers that emitted a warm fragrance.
The people who smell this aroma, men and women, young and old, all fall into a deep sleep for a short time. Although there were a few people who held out for a while with their magic resistance and willpower, Gondor who sneaked in quietly gave each of them a stuffy stick.
So they slept more deeply and soundly than others.
The group entered the villa unhindered and came to the bedroom of Viscount Serrajiong.
The lustful Viscount has a pair of sisters on the bed today, exactly the same in appearance, petite in stature, and should not look more than twelve years old.
"What a scum!" Semiramis frowned at the marks on the immature sisters, "This guy has no lower limit at all!"
"How do you clean him up?" asked Sean.
"It's good to just die, you don't have to toss any tricks. Semiramis wrapped the sisters in the quilt, picked them up one by one with Sean, turned around and left, "Let's go, it's not worth wasting more time for this kind of scum!"
Gondor nodded, covering the Viscount's mouth with his left hand, and plunging a dagger into his chest with his right hand.
Awakened by the severe pain, the viscount struggled vigorously for a few seconds before he went completely limp.
Then, Gondor looked at the lavish decorations around him and smiled.
"Big stars don't care about this, we shouldn't let go of this extra money, you say?"
Panda, Yunelo, Horus, Prelet, Skye, and Naikhardt all looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
The next morning, the news that Viscount Serajon had been assassinated, that the two freshly bought Mei Ji had been taken captive, and that the villa had been looted spread in the Norma Line...... 21010
