The battle between the Wolf Temple warriors and the Hydra Guards was short but intense.

The Wolf Temple belonged, and together with the sixth-order transcendent who was killed by Joe, after losing a total of thirteen sixth-order combat powers, they finally retreated and evacuated the battlefield at full speed.

Around noon.

The cold wind was howling, and the clouds in the sky were much thinner.

On Sunday in the Wolf's Tooth Fort, the clouds even cracked a lot of cracks, and the golden sunlight sprinkled down, shrouding the battlefield full of corpses.

Black plumes of smoke rose from the northwest corner of the Wolf's Tooth Castle and rushed straight into the air.

In the Wolf's Tooth Fort, the highlanders who intended to attack the Imperial Army with the intention of attacking the Imperial Army from inside and outside, the middle and high-level leaders were blown to pieces, and the grassroots backbone was also searched out of the stronghold by the Imperial Army, and they fell down on the side of the street and directly hit the target.

Tens of thousands of highland men who lost their souls, together with their families, left the Wolf's Tooth Fort one by one, crying and shouting.

Surrounded by iron rings around their necks and strung together in thin chains, they formed a group of 500 men, escorted by Imperial soldiers, first turned east away from the Rann Corridor, and then headed straight north to the northern coastline of the Empire.

Because of the order issued by Salian casually, in this terrible winter, these dishonest highlanders were directly exiled to the exiled islands of the empire in the northern ice ocean, and were reduced to mining slaves.

The lucky ones among them made it to their destination alive, driven into the dark caverns, where they mined ore year after year, contributing a paltry contribution to the Empire's industry.

The unlucky ones among them may freeze to death or starve to death on the way, or be used as chickens to scare the monkeys and be shot dead by the Imperial soldiers in charge of escorting them. When the snow melts and the frozen soil thaws in spring, they will be turned into fertilizer to nourish the flowers and plants of northern Xinjiang.

Most of the leaders of the highlanders who were killed were big names in the Wolf's Tooth Fort and the Blue Wolf Principality, among which there were more than 20 wealthy merchants, who owned a large number of fields, forests, mines, and pastures around the Wolf's Tooth Fort.

The logistics civilian personnel of the front-line command of the Imperial Army's Lanyin Corridor have been stationed in the Wolf's Tooth Fort to thoroughly count the property left behind by these highlanders? According to the decree of the military control of the front of the Imperial Army? These properties were confiscated directly into the military register.

The future empire will definitely station a large number of troops in the wolf's tooth fort, and these confiscated real estate? Will it become an effective addition to the logistics of the garrison? It is enough to make the garrison live a moist life.

Gorkin and the Joe brothers, are they following the army? Advance west along the Rann Corridor, chasing down the fleeing Highlanders along the way.

Further west of the Wolf's Tooth Castle? Is it a smooth road? The Principality of the Blue Wolf is in the Lanyin Corridor, and there is no longer a formed stronghold.

According to Salian's orders, the Imperial army would pursue the Highlanders all the way and advance another five hundred miles to the west.

In this 500-mile distance? And two dozen small and medium-sized towns? Like a string of pearls, neatly arranged in the valley of the Orchid Corridor.

The main force of the army of the Blue Wolf Principality has been completely annihilated by the Imperial Army.

Seventy or eighty percent of the elite of the highland tribes were annihilated by the new ordnance of the imperial army, and the remnants of the army had also collapsed, and they would no longer be in the climate.

According to the plan of Salian and those high-ranking generals? The main force of the Imperial Army will spend half a month advancing westward, taking over all the two dozen towns along the way.

So what? Most of the Ranin corridor has been recovered, just waiting for the spring of the next year? Will the Imperial Army be able to completely recover the entire Ranin Corridor in one go? Isolate the northern and southern plateaus? Reopen the lifeblood to the central hinterland of Metland.

When Joe followed the army on an armed march in the Rhine Corridor? Big Ivan is having lunch.

Dressed in a custom-made dress at a great price, with a bowtie, high-end calfskin boots polished, and a thin layer of wax on his smooth scalp, Big Ivan, with a bright head, sat upright in a high-end restaurant in the north of Hyderabad, like a real aristocratic lord.

In front of him is a delicate porcelain plate with a fat, tempting piece of cherry foie gras.

Big Ivan lazily crossed Erlang's legs, held a fork in his left hand, and slowly picked up small pieces of foie gras and stuffed them into his mouth, but a small part of his attention was placed on the "Imperial Capital Express" in his right hand.

The headline on the front page of today's "Imperial Capital Express" was the murder that had occurred in Stein's residence a few hours earlier.

A large area of red, bloody, fangs and claws of the variant characters occupy most of the page, and through these blood-colored handwritings, it seems that the excited, excited and distorted faces of the editors of the "Imperial Capital Express" can be seen.

'Shocking bloody case, the core members of the Fox family died in the imperial capital, accident? Or is it a conspiracy? ’

'The incompetent Imperial Capital North District Branch, in the face of the bloody case, they don't know anything about the reporter's questioning, is it incompetent? Or is it a deliberate cover-up? Or even a malicious cover-up? ’

In an exclusive interview with this newspaper, Professor Hammer, a senior legal expert of the Imperial Empire and director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Imperial Judicial University, fiercely criticized the incompetence, corruption, and inefficiency of the Northern District Branch of the Imperial Capital! ’

An anonymous senior police officer of the Central District Branch of the Imperial Capital revealed to this reporter that there are huge potential risks to public security in the northern district of the Imperial Capital, and the unfortunate encounter of His Excellency Stein is both an accident and an inevitability. Some high-level officials of the North District Branch must be responsible for this bloody case! ’

Big Ivan looked at the lines of fierce words in the newspaper, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly and smile triumphantly.

"Oh, oh, Great Ivan, you're a genius...... Who dares to say that you are a reckless man, you must crush his head next time...... Hahaha, well done, really well done. ”

"Don't those bastards from the North District Branch dare to trouble our new boss? Ho ho, the next actions will all be solved in the North District, and the black cauldron is constantly smashed down one after another, can you bear it? ”

"Dear boss, dear Young Master Qiao, Big Ivan will definitely give you a surprise, a huge surprise!"

Big Ivan dropped the newspaper in his hand, picked up the delicate porcelain plate in front of him, brought the porcelain plate to his mouth, opened his big mouth, and swallowed most of the fat foie gras in one gulp.

"Damn, greasy and greasy doesn't taste good, why is it so expensive? Such a small piece of money dares to charge me 20 gold marks, and even add 15% of the service fee! ”

Ignoring the dull, shocked gaze of the beautiful blonde maid standing nearby, Big Ivan put down the fine porcelain plate and snapped his fingers at the maid: "Honey, serve the main course......

Holding the natural crystal red wine glass in front of him, Big Ivan shook the brick-red wine in the wine glass, sighed, and shook his head: "Besides, what kind of is your sommelier recommending?" ”

The wine glass was slammed heavily on the table, making a muffled 'bang'.

In the dining room, several tables of gentlemen and ladies in the vicinity looked over one after another, their eyes full of disdain and ridicule.

Big Ivan turned a blind eye to these people's gazes, and he exclaimed, "These sour things are only liked by girls...... A true man, the only love is the 'Fountain of Life'...... Bring me a big bottle of gold diamond 'Black Pine Forest'...... Don't tell me you don't have this Lucian wine here! ”

Pouting, Big Ivan shook his head: "A restaurant that can't get the Golden Diamond 'Black Pine Forest' shouldn't exist on the Metland Continent, it should have closed down a long time ago." ”

At the table next to Big Ivan, a middle-aged man who was also dressed in a formal suit, with a slightly blue complexion, a little black bags under his eyes, a little lipstick on his lips, and a slight 'mother-cannon' aura on his lips, snorted lightly, and chuckled at the beautiful girl sitting opposite: "Rude Lucian nouveau riche ...... This is their norm. ”

With a light sigh, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes at the beautiful girl: "Honey, if it weren't for the fact that you wanted to taste the gold leaf ice cream dessert in this restaurant, I would be more than happy to take you to the private club I am more accustomed to." ”

"It's a members' club, and only the really high-ranking people are eligible to enter...... Those rude, vulgar nouveau riche are not qualified to step inside! ”

The middle-aged man smiled brightly, his volume was a little high, and not only Big Ivan, but also the guests at several tables nearby heard his words.

The beautiful girl chuckled, and she looked at the middle-aged man with affection, her eyes were like water, which tickled the middle-aged man's heart.

Big Ivan glanced at the middle-aged man and giggled.

Sharps Rong Maya, a core member of the Mayan family in Ruhr City, like Stein Yung Fawkes, is the head of the Mayan family in the imperial capital, coordinating everything of the Mayan family in the imperial capital, and is the spokesperson for the interests of the Mayan family in the imperial capital.

Of course, Sharps is also on Joe's revenge list.

Big Ivan had just killed Stein, and he was screwed with Sharpe.

Big Ivan felt to himself that he was too dedicated......

I think that back then, when he was in the army of the Lucia Empire, with tens of thousands of troops, he had never done his best to fight with the Delen Empire.

"Young Master Qiao, you have to give me a raise!" Big Ivan glanced at the girl sitting across from Sharps and muttered in a low voice, "I also like the little girl from the Dance Department of the Fourth University...... Tsk, as tender as the barley malt of winemaking, tender and green little girl...... Tsk, Kim Mark is indeed a good thing, a good thing! ”

A bottle of high spirits peculiar to the Lucian Empire was brought up by the sommelier.

Big Ivan rubbed his palms in satisfaction, pulled out the cork with a 'bang', and without using a glass, he directly raised the wine bottle and poured two sips.

Sharps glanced at Big Ivan in disgust, and naturally stretched out his hand and gently held the slender and tender palm of the girl opposite: "Believe me, I'll take you to the club in the afternoon...... That's one, really good place...... It didn't have much reputation, and the entire emperor knew that it existed with no more than a thousand people, but it was a real high-end place. ”

"There, there will definitely be no nouveau riche."

The girl looked at Sharps with tenderness: "Honey, then, where is it?" ”

Sharps lowered his voice: "Oh, oh, of course you know about the Blood Kapok Mound?" It's right in the Blood Kapok Mound, on the north side. ”

Big Ivan 'Goo-dong' swallowed a sip of the spirit.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Blood Kapok Mound, the territory of the Northern District of the Imperial Capital, and the territory of the Northern District Branch.

Perfect, so perfect.
