Chapter 81: Who Gave Them the Courage?
A biting chill instantly welled up in Zeberto's heart, making him feel a little chill all over his scalp.
It's just that some locals are making trouble, which is not terrible, as long as the other party makes conditions, it proves that there is room for negotiation.
But when there is a dead person, it is two completely different things.
The Dro people have always been known for their unity and xenophobia, but now there is such a murderous incident at this time, and the murder weapon is obviously from the magic repeater in the hands of the mine guards, that is to say, this is the first person to kill the new flying chamber of commerce!
Faced with such a situation, there is no need to guess how the Droz people will react!
Sure enough, as soon as the screams came out, the crowd that had been dead silent just now instantly boiled, and countless people's faces, which had been quite restrained, had been completely replaced by anger at this moment.
"Kill these alien bastards!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill ......"
......
The crowd that was carried away by the blood had no reason at all, although the fifty guards were still holding magic crossbows at the gate, but they did not dare to continue firing the repeaters, so under the impact of nearly a thousand people, they did not even stop it in the blink of an eye, and they had already broken through the blockade by the tide of people, and all poured into the mine.
"That guy over there is the leader of the mine, shoot him!"
Suddenly there was another shout from the crowd, and then the crowd that had been pouring into the mine like headless flies turned their heads to look in the direction of Zeberto and Arbach, and after a moment's pause, they rushed towards this side together.
Agbach's face turned pale in an instant. Pulled Zeberto hard.
"Let's go!"
Zeberto's body was pulled by Arbach and he staggered two steps. After settling down. But he shook off Abach and pulled his hand, and shouted loudly: "You are the person in charge of the mine, how can you run at this time!"
Abach glanced at Zeberto in astonishment, and said eagerly: "Do you still want these madmen to be reasonable? Run first! It's a big deal to let the escort take back the mine later, and leave quickly! If you don't leave, it's too late!"
Zeberto angrily shook off Arbach's hand again.
"As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, to run away at this time is to abandon the trust of the Chamber of Commerce in us!"
Ignoring Abach's shouting behind him, Zeberto walked over to the rushing crowd.
As he walked, he raised his hands in the air. Shouting: "Calm down, everyone! I am ......"
"Whoosh-"
Several crossbow arrows came out of nowhere, one of which just pierced Zeberto's neck, instantly blocking the second half of his words.
Zeberto touched his neck with a shocked face and fell to the ground with a slam.
###
The severe cold of the winter of 3802 in the continental calendar has not completely passed, and a shocking news has spread throughout the Sainz continent, adding a touch of chill to the entire continent.
In mid-March, a conflict between the local Dro and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce occurred in a mine in the northwest of the Dro Kingdom.
This is no ordinary conflict.
In this conflict, three local Dro people were directly killed, more than a dozen were seriously injured, and hundreds were lightly injured. It can be said that the consequences are extremely serious.
However, compared to the losses of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the losses of the local Dro people are nothing at all.
conflict. The mine was completely occupied by the rioting local Dro, and almost all the equipment in the mine was damaged to varying degrees, resulting in direct and indirect economic losses of at least tens of thousands of gold coins.
However, compared with the economic loss, the real serious is the human loss.
During the conflict, the employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the mine were directly attacked by the local Dero people who rioted, which eventually led to the death of more than a dozen employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the spot, and the remaining 40 employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were injured to varying degrees, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Among these casualties, the most serious one was the captain of the mineral transportation team sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for the major minerals of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Wales and neighboring countries, and Zeberto, who was also responsible for the inspection and liaison of major minerals, was also killed directly in the conflict.
This is the highest-ranking person killed in this conflict by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is also the highest-ranking person who died in an accident since the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more than 20 years ago.
As soon as the incident occurred, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce immediately issued a public statement, strongly condemning the atrocities of the local Dro people and giving a serious warning to the Dro kingdom.
At the same time, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stationed near the city of Dudro, the king of the Dero Kingdom, set off as soon as possible to deal with the follow-up matters at the scene of the incident, and at the same time tried to rescue more than 40 employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who had lost contact.
After the news was voluntarily disclosed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the first reaction of almost all the rest was that the Dero Kingdom was dead this time.
In the riot of the Dero Kingdom a few years ago, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses in it, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce unceremoniously sent an escort team and gained a certain dominance over the Dero Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Now that this kind of thing has happened within the Dero Kingdom, it is simply another good excuse for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can strengthen its control over the Dero Kingdom more confidently.
Even as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing, it may be possible to let the Dero Kingdom be destroyed.
With the strong combat power of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team, no one doubts that they will be able to do this.
However, the next development of events greatly surprised everyone.
After the New Flying Chamber of Commerce announced the incident and issued a warning to the Dro Kingdom, the Candela Empire suddenly issued a statement through the official newspaper.
In this statement, the Candela Empire said that in the bloody clash at the Namco mine, it was not the Dro locals who did it first, but the mine guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who shot and killed a member of the clashes first, which caused the crowd to riot. In fact. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should bear the main responsibility for this incident.
And the person who was shot in the first place was not actually a native of the Dro tribe. It's the Candela!
As soon as the Candela Empire's statement came out, it immediately caused a shock.
People were shocked not by the so-called "truth in the conflict" published by the Candela Empire, but by why the Candela Empire made such a statement.
Although this bloody conflict was serious, before that, it was only a matter between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Dro Kingdom.
With the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as what happened during the previous rebellion in the Dero Kingdom, no one thought that the Dero Kingdom would be able to resist the pressure of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time, and in the end they could only bow their heads. Let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce handle this matter.
But now the Candela Empire has suddenly jumped out, and it has been revealed that the first person to be shot in the conflict is actually a member of the Candela Empire, what does it mean?
Could it be ...... The Candela Empire really wants to get involved in this matter, and even ...... And the new flying chamber of commerce is hard to regret?
If this matter is just a matter between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Dero Kingdom, then it doesn't matter which side makes the first move, anyway, the Dero Kingdom can't resist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But if that person is a Candela, and it is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that shoots it first, it gives the Candela Empire a good excuse to intervene in this matter.
And the Candela Empire unexpectedly chose to intervene, which really surprised everyone.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this approach of the Candela Empire.
The Candela Empire was killed by the guards of a chamber of commerce in other countries. Then as a motherland, of course, you should stand up for this person. Find out the truth.
But in fact, the Candela Empire has been cooperating closely with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in recent years, and the relationship between the two sides is like glue, and the Candela Empire has also made a lot of concessions in front of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so in everyone's opinion, even if the person who was killed first in this matter is really a Candela, the Candela Empire should not come forward.
Even if the Candela Empire has any opinions on this, at most, it will discuss it with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in private, and the two sides will secretly reach an agreement, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can do something about compensation and understand this matter.
As a result, now the Candela Empire has disclosed this matter in public, and even directly accused the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce of maliciously fabricating facts, which is too bad for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to lose face.
Could it be ...... What rift has arisen in the cooperation between the Candela Empire and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?
On April 2, half a month after the bloodshed in the Namtso mine, the Kandela Empire announced that it would send an investigation team into the Dro kingdom to investigate the details of the bloody conflict.
The day before that, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stationed in the city of Dudro, the king of the Dero tribe, had divided a team of 500 people into the Namco mine to investigate the incident and try to recover the mine that had fallen under the control of the local Dero people.
At the same time, the official statement of the Dero Kingdom is willing to actively cooperate with both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire to conduct a detailed investigation into this incident.
The officials of the Dero Kingdom said that they are willing to help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce find out the truth of the incident, and do their best to ensure the safety of the employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, if the investigation of the incident shows that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the de facto culprit party as the Candela Empire claims, then the Dro Kingdom will lodge a serious protest with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to seek justice for the local Dro.
This official statement of the Dero Kingdom has also caused all kinds of doubts from the outside world.
Since the riot of the Dero Kingdom a few years ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took action to suppress it, although the Dero Kingdom did not fall, but it was suppressed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it has not made any voice of its own in the past few years.
However, now at this important juncture, the officials of the Dero Kingdom suddenly jumped out, claiming that they wanted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to return justice to the Dero people......
Who gave them the guts?
Is it the Candela Empire?
With such doubts, the eyes of the entire Sainz Continent instantly focused on the small Namco mine. (To be continued......)
