Chapter 83: Shock
Captain Uther glanced at Count Zidal on the side with an expressionless face and nodded.
"Okay, that's for you. ”
Resas and Floyd exchanged a look of surprise.
In addition to more than a dozen employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who were killed on the spot, and the whereabouts of the remaining more than 40 employees are unknown, the most important parties were the other 50 mine guards who were present at the time.
Because the fifty guards were all local Dro people hired locally, they basically survived the conflict, and even a few simply defected and blended in with the rioters.
Later, Resas led his men to the Namco mine, and after expelling the rioters, he easily arrested all six mine guards who had infiltrated the mines, and prepared to be questioned as witnesses.
However, then Resas received an order from above, asking them to hand over these witnesses to the Candela Imperial Investigation Team that arrived later, and let them conduct an interrogation investigation first.
Although Resas was extremely dissatisfied, he was forced to obey the orders from above and hand him over, and he was scheduled to come back in three days.
Because these witnesses were the eyewitnesses who knew the most about the specific situation at that time, they were actually very important, and Resas would have thought that it would be impossible for the Candela Empire to be released so easily.
But he didn't expect that now that he came to open his mouth at will, Captain Uther actually agreed.
After being stunned for a moment, although Resas felt a little abnormal, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's hand them over now." We still have something to ask. ”
Captain Uther turned to one of his men and explained. The man ran into the camp. Apparently to prepare.
Resas glanced at Captain Uther, who always seemed to have a blank face, and then at Count Zidal, who also looked indifferent, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
However, at present, he is in front of the military camp of the Candela Empire, but he can't do much, so he can only wait quietly.
After a while, two Candela Imperial soldiers galloped out of the camp in an open-top carriage.
From a distance, Resas saw several figures bulging from the back of the open carriage and a rag covering it, and his face sank.
Wait until the carriage approaches. He strode up, and as soon as he lifted the rags, he saw six corpses in the carriage piled up in a haphazard manner, like broken sacks, and had long since lost any life.
These six bodies were, of course, the six mine guards who were captured.
Resas glanced at the six corpses, and after making sure none of them were alive, he turned to look at Captain Uther, his face sinking like water.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on? Don't you want me to give them back to you? Captain Uther replied with a blank expression.
"!" Resas was furious. "Three days ago, I handed you six big living people. And now you're going to give me back six corpses, and that's what the is calling it back to me?"
"Captain Resas, watch your words. Captain Uther's face didn't fluctuate in the slightest. "When I made the appointment three days ago. We didn't say whether it was the living or the dead who were returned to you, so it wasn't a breach of contract. ”
"You ......" Resas angrily pointed at Captain Uther, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Count Zidal snickering on the side, thought about it, then put down his hand, took a deep breath, and barely regained his composure. "Okay, tell me now, how did they die?"
"It's nothing, we used a little trick to extract a confession, they couldn't survive and died, that's it. Captain Uther replied.
"Small means? good...... It's so good......" Resas trembled with rage, and he wanted to slam his fist into Captain Uther's wood-like face.
Doesn't the fact that these six guards, who were extremely important witnesses in this incident, now have died to the fullest, does that mean that the truth of this matter will be hidden?
And in the end, their testimony is in the hands of the Candela Empire, so the Candela Empire can fabricate it at will, which will naturally be extremely unfavorable to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, this is based on the fact that the Candela Empire really wants to be more serious with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in this matter.
Although this possibility should not be large, if the final result of this incident is unfavorable to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is very easy to affect the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it will be a big blow to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking that since this group of guys from the Candela Empire came here, he had been feeling endless grievances, and now that he had made such a result, Resas couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
However, he also knew that he could not do anything until the order came down from above.
So he glared at Captain Uther for a moment, then turned and left.
Floyd, who had stayed, coughed lightly, waved his hand to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce guards behind him, motioned for them to pull the carriage away, and then nodded to Captain Uther before turning to leave.
After returning to the camp of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team, Resas was waiting for Floyd in his exclusive barracks.
At this time, Resard still looked a little angry, his expression was very calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Freud, do you think something is wrong?"
"Of course. Floyd nodded. "It wasn't a surprise that they killed these six witnesses, but it was strange that they did so clearly and without concealing it. ”
"Yes. Combined with the actions of these guys in the past few days, I even suspect that they are deliberately trying to provoke us. However, they were very restrained from confronting us. Could it be ...... They've been waiting for us to do it first, but what's in it for them?"
Freud pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly.
"I don't know. There is too little intelligence to judge. ”
"Yes. After thinking for a while, Resard suddenly said to Floyd, "How sure are you that you will sneak in and not be discovered?"
"If there are no mages of level 8 or above in the other party's camp, then I am 100% sure. ”
"Well, let's try it tonight. Let's see if we can find anything. ”
"In case the other party has a magician of level 8 or above......"
"If discovered. You just quit as soon as possible. If you really can't show your identity, I don't believe they dare to do anything to you. ”
"Good. ”
###
Night.
A subtle fluctuation of the air crept into the Candela Imperial military camp outside the Namtso Mine and headed straight for the center.
The fluctuation did not stop until it reached a tent that was noticeably larger than the surrounding area.
In the shadow of the camp, there was a faint, extremely faint figure that ordinary people could not find at all, and it was Freud.
After infiltrating the camp, which was supposed to be the commander's residence, Floyd slowed down. And tried his best to suppress the magic fluctuations in his body and the space around him, and even his breathing almost stopped.
As a high-level elven warrior, this is an ability that Freud's other colleagues in the Guardian are incomparable, and it is also a unique skill of elven warriors.
Because of this skill, when the escort team needs to carry out a stealth operation, they will send elven guards to execute.
It's just that this time the mission is more special and more important, so Resas asked Floyd to come out in person.
After waiting for a moment to make sure that he had not been discovered by anyone, Freud slowly gathered his magic in his ears again. In this way, you can strengthen your listening.
A moment later, all sorts of cacophony from around the camp reached my ears.
However, Freud listened for a long time. But he found that there was no sound in the camp next to him.
Freud couldn't help but feel a little strange.
It wasn't surprising that a nasty human nobleman like Count Zidal would do something at night, but the captain of Uther should have stayed in the camp at night anyway, so why hadn't there been any movement?
Freud thought for a moment, held out a finger, and very carefully poked out a trace of magic.
However, until this trace of his magic touched the tent, it still did not have any change or effect.
Now it is certain that this tent is not specially designed to insulate sound.
"That's weird, these guys don't stay in the tent, what are they doing?"
Freud slightly strengthened the magical elements that had condensed in his ears, further strengthening the magic and absorbing the sound of the entire camp in his ears.
But even so, he still did not hear any voices from Captain Uther and Count Zidal.
What made her even more strange was that the voices in the tent were clearly much quieter than he had imagined.
Although there was a lot of noise, it was much quieter than a camp of 2,000 people.
But now was not the time to think about it, and Freud listened for a while, and after making sure that there was still no voice from Captain Uther and Count Zidal, he hesitated a little, lay down on the ground, reached out and lifted a corner of the tent, and leaned over to look inside.
Sure enough, it was a huge tent, and it had been completely lit by a magic lamp, so it could be seen clearly.
However, there was no sign of Captain Uther or Count Zidal in the camp, except for an old man in a black robe, who looked close to sixty years of age from the outside, sitting on the ground in the middle of the tent.
As soon as Floyd's gaze fell on him, the old man reacted instantly, and Huo Di turned his head, his eyes shining with a dazzling light, just colliding with Freud's gaze.
"Oops!"
Freud's heart tightened, and without hesitation, he regathered his magic power, and his body instantly melted into the darkness and turned around.
With just one glance, he was already convinced that the old man in the camp was at least a powerful magician of level nine or even higher than level nine, and he was no match at all.
However, as soon as his body moved, he suddenly felt a sudden chaos in the magic of the space around him, and a pillar of mud surged up from the ground, directly condensing his legs together, making him unable to move at all.
The next moment, the old magician suddenly appeared beside him, looking at him with an interesting expression.
"Elves, it's really hard to find such a test subject......"
Freud was shocked, but he couldn't even utter a syllable, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
The moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly noticed a flash of fire rising into the sky from afar.
That direction seems to be the direction where the mine is located...... (To be continued......)
