"Escape," Cassise said calmly, "that old fellow of Gavalren has escaped." ”

In the office of the city lord of Biyan City, Cassse sat at his desk with his eyes closed, his fingers together, his body tilted in his chair, swaying slightly one after the other, acting leisurely.

But the few people in front of him were trembling, and they didn't dare to come out, except for Adjutant Carson, who stood in front of him with his head down, and the rest of them all knelt on one knee and didn't dare to raise their heads. Although Count Cassise was now calm, no one dared to alarm him at this time when he saw the ring on the earl's hand that was beginning to deform slightly.

The morning sun shone on their faces through the white glass, which was obviously warm and bright, but beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down their faces, and the whole room could only hear the sound of sweat dripping on the carpet and the gentle swaying of the castle lord's chair.

It took a long time for Carson to muster up the courage to take a step forward, "Lord of the City, this time it is all my responsibility, blame me, focus on the crematorium, but I didn't expect that it was the trick of that old guy Gavalen, who actually fled the night before. Please punish the lord of the castle. ”

Seeing Carson say this, the person kneeling at the front of the ground also gritted his teeth and took a step forward, "My lord, the responsibility for this matter should be all on me, I have been thinking about the monitoring mission in the crematorium the next day, but I neglected to monitor him the night before, as the captain, the responsibility should be mine." Please punish the lord of the castle. ”

Everyone behind him saw that the captain said this, and they also knelt forward in unison, "Please punish the city lord!"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, but Cassise in front of them remained unmoved, which made everyone's hearts even more hanging.

It took a while for Cassise to open his eyes again, and when Carson was about to step forward to receive the punishment, Cassise slammed his fist on the table, "What the hell are you saying this old thing is going to do!?"

Cassie's fierce face and roar startled everyone present, but it wasn't over yet.

"This old thing is getting older, and he still looks for trouble for me all day long, what is he trying to do? Have I treated him badly? For the sake of his father, I often treat him as an elder in private! My conscience has been swallowed by a reckless dog, that is!"

Carson had never seen Cassise so angry, and he was immediately speechless in surprise, let alone the reconnaissance team behind him, and they were all dumbfounded.

"I have lost something to him, so I asked, what am I missing from him? Is the employee welfare bad? Didn't I buy five insurances and one housing fund? Didn't I approve the funds for the prison reform plan submitted last year? What does this old thing want to do? Obviously, as long as he works for another 20 years, he can take the state's subsidies and pensions to retire, but he has made such a moth. ”

"When the time comes, retire and come home, isn't it good to tease your grandson? Isn't it good to have cats and dogs? Isn't it good to get re-employed? Even if you have time to work hard and hold back, you may be able to break through Akabane in your cultivation, why do you have to pull up a reactionary force to fight against me, does he think he can be an enemy of me, my family, or the entire Henin Empire......?

Cassise kept scolding, scolding and hammering the desk, the cracks visible to the naked eye spread rapidly, but fortunately, the quality was good, at least it couldn't be broken now.

The crowd lowered their heads even further, and except for Carson, the rest of them had never seen the city lord like this. Even Carson was shocked, the last time he saw Cassse angry like this was when someone in the military department insulted his father. However, after being the city lord for so many years, his temperament has already improved, at least he didn't beat people like last time.

One of the team members muttered in a low voice, "Gevalen, he's always been single, where did he come from?" and his captain immediately covered his mouth with his hand and pressed his head down.

Just as the desk was finally overwhelmed and began to whine as it was about to collapse, Count Cassise finally finished scolding. After scolding, he threw himself back into the chair with a tired face, tilted his head and closed his eyes, "I'm sorry, everyone, I lost my temper just now, by the way, you still don't seem to have finished reporting the details just now, now let's continue." His tone sounded tired.

When the team leader heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward again, and he was almost on his desk, "Yes, Lord of the City." ”

"We were monitoring his mansion as usual last night, because we were too weak to go deeper, for fear of being discovered. At about ten o'clock in the evening, a man dressed as a domestic servant went out to the West Block, because it was usually this time that someone would go to the West Quarter to buy a crystal shrimp dumpling for Gai Valen, so I didn't pay much attention to it, so I called Number Two to follow, and the others continued to monitor the same place. ”

At this time, the team leader stopped speaking, and the team member behind him who was covered by him just now took another step forward, and it seemed that he was No. 2, "Report to the city lord, I followed the servant to the shrimp dumpling shop, this shop we investigated, it is a time-honored brand, it should be no problem." The shrimp dumpling shop is very close to the West City Gate, and when I saw him leaving the store with only a packing bag in his hand, I let my guard down. ”

Speaking of this, No. 2 showed a ashamed expression, "Who knows, but the man threw the bag directly to the city gate, the huge smoke dispersed with a more powerful explosion, there was only one team on the night watch, this sudden change made everyone panic at that time, and then rushed out of the three small shops around several people, followed the servant out of the city gate, everything happened too fast, until they went out of the city gate, I reacted, and hurried back to report." ”

Later, I learned that the domestic servant was actually Gavaren's disguise. The accident caused two deaths and fifteen injuries, and we cannot blame them. ”

After listening to the second speech, it took a long time for Cassise to open his eyes slowly, "Okay, it's not your fault, it's that the fox is too old and a thief, and you're tired, go down and rest." ”

The whole team was a little incredulous, but they were also relieved, so they took the order, "Yes!"

After the team exited the office, Casssise slammed his head on the desk again, rubbing his temples with both hands, "Really, he ran away, disrupting our plans and leaving a mess behind. ”

Carson walked up to him, silently took out a pen and paper, and sure enough, the next moment Cassise said, "I just thought of something, you can write it down." ”

"From now on, all city gates and their relevant government departments are within 100 meters of the control area, and no one is allowed to set up stalls and shops, and offenders can be fined to 15 days in prison. It's time for the reconnaissance team to update their equipment, and they should be equipped with the most advanced optical tactical reconnaissance equipment to enhance their long-range reconnaissance capabilities. By the way, what about casualties and losses?"

Carson stopped what he was doing, raised his head and thought for a moment, "Fortunately, it was at night, and there were relatively few people at that time, so the dead and wounded were all our soldiers, and there were no outgoing merchants who were injured or property damage, if it was lost, the floor tiles of the West City Gate would have to be rebuilt." ”

"The pension of the sacrificed soldiers is 1,000 gold coins per person, and the martyr card is issued, and the family members can receive a subsidy of 10 gold coins at the city hall every month and enjoy the relevant preferential policy subsidies for the families of the martyrs. The medical expenses of the wounded soldiers are borne by the city hall until they are cured, and each soldier is paid a condolence fee of 100 gold coins, and if a soldier is left disabled or disabled, the government will be responsible for finding a way out for them. ”

Carson scribbled as he suddenly thought of something, "Because our gates are never closed even at night, and this has led to Gavalen's ability to escape without much effort, should we increase the curfew?" ”

Cassise thought for a moment, "No, we are also a trade capital, and the curfew will have a bad impact on the development of our city, I think we should give priority to strengthening the night defense of each city gate, and it just so happens that Silver Sky City will help us to modernize the city's magic guide, and when the time comes, we will give priority to the defense construction of the city gate, and send three squads to each city gate every night to take shifts on the spot." By the way, all these measures must be made known to the public, reassuring them and reassuring them. Well, that should be all for now. ”

"Then I'll go down and arrange it first. Carson gathered his pen and paper and was about to go out.

"Wait a minute!" Cassse's voice suddenly came, startling Carson, "I think that number two, the detection ability and vigilance are not strong, but the literary talent seems to be okay, you transfer him to your government office for me." "Well, good ......"

Carson, who had just closed the door, opened the door suddenly, "Boss, we discussed so much just now, and it seems that we didn't talk about the point, what should we do next?"

Cassise leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his voice was quiet, "What else can we do now?" ”......

"What, Lottie, are you sure you're not taking the wrong path. Mo tilted his head and asked in disbelief. Not only him, but everyone else just tilted their heads and looked surprised.

Lottie was also a little confused, "Well, it should be, right?" Her tone grew weaker and weaker, as if she was unsure, "The last time I was here, it was less than three months ago, and I think I should be right." ”

Not for anything else, just because the way in front of her was beyond Lottie's imagination. The peaks that used to stretch into the sky like a pair of fangs were gone, replaced by gravel and gravel that blocked the entrance to the entire canyon. The sand that fell down buried a considerable part of the trees and grass near the entrance, altering a small part of the surrounding terrain so that Lottie was unrecognizable at first glance.

"This is the entrance to the Grand Canyon of Eya!" Lottie exclaimed, "It's just that for some unknown reason, the peaks on both sides of the entrance collapsed and blocked the entrance." ”

At this moment, Ah Han also sensed that something was wrong, he shrugged his nose, "There is a strong fire attribute demon source in the air, although it has dissipated a lot, I can feel it." He walked around the pile of rubble that blocked the entrance to the canyon, grabbed a wisp of dust and rubbed it in his hand, "That's right, it should be a large number of fire-attribute demon sources concentrated in the energy generated by a little explosion, either there are at least three or more fire-attribute magic crystal shells that explode in a concentrated manner, or there is a person or demonic beast at least the level of Qingyu who explodes here." ”

Seeing the surprise in Lottie's eyes, Mo smiled, "Han, but a fire-type heavy swordsman at the Blue Feather level, although he looks like a big man and three coarse, his mind is still quite delicate. ”

Hearing this, Lottie couldn't help but clench her fists, "Can I be like this in the future?"

Because Lottie and the others were in a hurry, they didn't go to the tribe of the Green Forest people first, but rushed directly to the entrance of the canyon, so they didn't know what happened here.

The Wind Green Feather who had rushed to the front of the team before turned back to Mo's side after making a round, and shook his head, "Brother Mo, I didn't find a direct way to enter, and I didn't find any traces of this pile of rubble being moved on a large scale. ”

Mo looked at the dust and rubble that was enough to flood a large square, and sighed helplessly, "Alas, what a problem. We don't even know what's going on here. ”

"Then should we open this path first?" the green feather asked tentatively. Mo thought carefully for a while, then closed his eyes and shook his head, "Don't waste your energy yet, it's better to figure things out before deciding." ”

"Do we have to go to the tribe of the Greenwoods first? When Han heard this, he showed a distressed look, "It would be nice if there was anyone in the know." ”

Mo smiled, "It's rare for people to appear in this kind of place, and you know about it, you are really a little naïve." The rest of the group laughed as well.

For a moment, a happy atmosphere permeated, and in the midst of laughter, someone seemed to hear some discordant sound. Lottie slowly walked to the edge of the sand, closed her eyes, and listened carefully.

Seeing Lottie's appearance, Han just wanted to step forward to ask, but Mo pressed his shoulder, shook his head, and then slowly walked to Lottie's side, staring at the pile of sand.

"It's almost over, I feel that the soil layer is obviously loosening!" "Don't squeeze me, this soil can't be sent, if you use a little more force, I'm afraid we will all be buried!" "I'm careful." ”......

It seems that there are two people digging and talking at the same time. So the others also quietly walked around Mo and the others, staring at the pile of dirt in front of them.

Slowly, you can see signs of something moving in the mound, as if something is about to come out. After a while, a small hole appeared, and an excited voice came from the small hole, "Tom, Tom, I see the light! We are about to be free!" "Don't talk yet, hurry!"

When Jerry heard this, he excitedly discarded a piece of stone that he was using to dig the soil, replaced it with a large stone, and swung it towards the small hole that revealed the light of hope, once, twice...... Slowly, the light grew brighter and louder, until the hole could accommodate a person in and out, and Jerry drilled into the ground with an earthworm, no, it was more like a posture out of the ground, rushing out of the hole.

Feeling the bright sunshine, breathing in the fresh air, and listening to the birds around me, I can't help but want to shout, "Freedom!"

Then he saw a crowd of people around him looking at him like fools, and then fell into a deathly silence.

"Don't block the hole, get out of the way, let me out!" Tom's angry cry came from below, and he just wanted to stop it, but he was pushed out of the cave by a huge force from below, and Jerry's eyes were a little dizzy, but he clearly heard the voice behind him, "Freedom......!"
