Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 78 The Cunning Fox Begins to Act!

From Lakesprings to Foggy Night, the griffin knight Franz gave a flight time of less than half a day. Fang Qiuling deliberately paid attention to it, counting the time he spent fighting with the gargoyle during the period, he flew for more than four hours.

The return journey from Wuxi Town to Huquan Town took more than four hours, and although there were no gargoyles blocking the way, the Pegasus was carrying three people on his back, which made the Pegasus slow down a lot.

During the four hours, Fang Qiuling chatted a lot with the two children and had a preliminary understanding of their situation.

Limited by their vision and experience, Elina and Rodna's perception of the world is still only one acre and three points of land at their doorstep, believing that the royal capital of Seradia is the center of the world, the largest city in the world. But in fact, the kingdom of King Karthhas is not a first-class power in the continent of Araka, and the royal capital of Seradia is far from several other old countries in terms of city size and population.

Knowing the basics, how to adjust the ...... Wrong! How to train two children to become outstanding talents? Fang Qiuling quickly had a preliminary idea.

While thinking about what course was more suitable for the two children, Fang Qiuling was still thinking about the situation in front of him, looking for an opportunity to see the seams and slightly change the current situation of the Misty Lake. But after a brief thought, he shook his head and gave up.

To see the stitches, you first need to have a "needle". What is this "needle"? It's the military power, it's the town guards and the scattered Misty Cavalry in various parts of the Misty Lake.

Fang Qiuling was very familiar with the map of the misty lake, and he also knew the location of each town well. However, as a small nobleman from other places, he had no way of knowing the number of guards stationed in the town, the weapons and equipment of the guards, the supply logistics, and so on. Actually, it's okay to know, but usually the town guards will regard this guy of unknown origin and spy on the military as a spy, and if they catch it, they will directly put a rope around their necks and hang it on the gatehouse.

As for the experience of "Elune World"...... I'm sorry, Fang Qiuling entered the game when it was in the middle and late stages of the First Kuroshio War. By this time, Count Deharus had been killed, and the town west of Lakesprings had been completely overrun by the army of the undead. A flood of refugees and a defeated army poured into Lakesprings, followed by a siege of the undead, which lasted eleven days before it was breached. Fang Qiuling, the town west of Huquan Town, had never been there, and he had no way of knowing the garrisons of each town.

However, there are some things that can be started in advance. And power doesn't have to be used in vain, expired and invalid. Anyway, as long as you have a clear conscience, don't stuff it into your pocket......

Fang Qiuling rolled his eyes, and the slightly thoughtful look on his face made the eyes of the little boy who was riding with him light up, and then shouted repeatedly: Fox! Cunning fox!

- Fox? Am I like a fox? Go! Don't talk nonsense about children! The nose of a liar will get longer!

- Nope! It's the fox. Teacher Norn, you looked so cunning just now! Also, Mr. Norn, why do liars have longer noses?

- What about this...... It's a long story.

Although it is said that there is no taboo, but Mowgli also means that the truth is told to a certain extent. Fang Qiuling held on for a moment, then hid his face and retreated, decisively changing the topic and telling the story of the little puppet Pinocchio.

Another passenger in the saddle quietly rolled his eyes, and he rolled his eyes.

- The use of a fox to describe Viscount Norn is very appropriate! It's a perfect fit!

Cunning, cunning, shameless, thick-skinned...... Alina secretly whispered in her heart. Although she also wants to call Fang Qiuling "teacher" now, the little girl just doesn't want to!

- Whoever wants such a bad teacher to take away, I resolutely don't want it!

But at the moment, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Alina had to behave as well-behaved as possible to avoid the nasty devil's messy problems for her.

The story was told quickly. After telling the story, Fang Qiuling had a straight face, so frightening:

- Remember, don't lie. Deceitful little ones will have longer noses!

The little boy, who was listening intently, opened his eyes wide and immediately reached out to cover his nose. I look nervous that my nose will become longer.

Alina pursed her lips, and then didn't reach out to cover her nose like her brother, but her expression was somewhat unnatural, and she always felt an itch on her nose.

Although the world of aristocracy cannot be said to be deceitful, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is woven from countless lies. The children of aristocratic families grew up in such an environment, and lying and deceiving people was just the most basic skill in their daily life.

Rodna and Alina can have their current expressions, which can be regarded as the more pragmatic family rules of the Deharus family...... That's right!

The unnatural expressions of the two children fell in Fang Qiuling's eyes, making him laugh dumbly. But smiling and smiling, Fang Qiuling's heart suddenly moved.

Count DeHarus is determined to live and die with the castle, and he has proved his determination with practical actions, and he will not retreat until his death. The Seventh Knights followed the lord and fought to the death on the line from Wuxi Town Fort to Fallen Leaf Pass, and finally the entire army was wiped out, and there were few survivors. They are role models and examples for our generation to follow.

However, there is a group of people who turn a blind eye to the invasion of the army of the undead, and instead initiate a national disaster. They hoarded grain, resold live animals, and for a time started a slave business. Some of them even took refuge in the undead and became shameful "leading the way."

The enemy is hateful, but the most hated is undoubtedly the traitor! Those guys who took refuge in the Dark Country Mamo betrayed the human race, and they are outright "human traitors"! Not to mention the natives of the Misty Lakes region, players hate these guys.

As the saying goes – team fights can be lost, but traitors must die!

When returning to Huquan Town, it is necessary to arrange the evacuation and evacuation of personnel first, but for these traitors and guys who have made a fortune...... See one kill one, see one kill one!

Instead of making these guys upset, it's better to just make an example of them! On the one hand, it can be regarded as a sacrificial flag, and on the other hand, it can also deter ill-intentioned people. Kill two birds with one stone.

Fang Qiuling chatted with the two children about casual topics, while recalling which traitors were on the "Loyal Traitor List".

Nkobat McAllister: Commander of the 2nd Wing of the Foggy Cavalry.

This guy seems to have taken refuge in the Dark Realm of Mamo, and later became a Death Knight under the title "Grey Crown".

Hey! Don't let me see it, if you see it, you will drag it out and cut it as soon as you see it!

—Joseph Robinette Taylor: A businessman in Lakesprings.

This guy deducted most of the food that was originally used to relieve the refugees, and made a lot of money. Later, he made a fortune through human trafficking, and once paid for the title of a lower-level nobleman.

For such a black-hearted businessman, it seems a bit too rough to cut it directly, so it would be better to confiscate all his property. The confiscated goods were exchanged for food in preparation for the subsequent retreat of the refugees to the Rift Fortress.

—Donald Swift Walker: A local nobleman with the title of Baron.

This guy is not a good thing in the first place, he is full of yearning for "dark arts", and he once taught himself. The invasion of the undead makes him suddenly discover the "organization", so he can't wait to join it and become a wizard specializing in necromancy. Relying on his familiarity with the Mist Lake area, he repeatedly led the army of the undead to cut off the retreat of the refugees, and his hands were stained with the blood of innocents.

He is a perverted murderer with no humanity, an executioner through and through. Everybody gets it!

And also......

When the national disaster is at hand, how many righteous people die generously, there will also be many villains who are profitable.

As a small nobleman from other places, Fang Qiuling can be said to have no relatives and no worries in the Misty Lake area. Dealing with these "moths" is absolutely ruthless, and it is useless for anyone to intercede!

If you want officials to protect each other, it's impossible. Whoever dares to protect it will drag this guy into the water and directly hang up the title of a spy sent by the undead!

Wanting to intercede through a relationship, it doesn't exist. Do I know you? How do I know if your second uncle and third aunt have taken refuge in the undead? If you don't want to go to the Nine Clans, you will be punished together!

In the present world, Fang Qiuling has a tendency to be a bit "angry and young". Now with the opportunity to rectify traitors and lawbreakers, he will definitely punish one by one, and he will never be soft or tolerated!

So when he returned to Huquan Town and got off the heavenly horse, Fang Qiuling immediately announced that Huquan Town had entered the military management as the acting lord, and at the same time summoned the responsible persons of all aspects of Huquan Town's affairs.

Upon learning that his little master had arrived in Lakesprings again, Butler Garras hurried over. When he learned of Count Diharus's orders, and straightened out a series of authorizations from the Earl, he immediately cooperated unreservedly and took up the job of clerk. The same is true of the "Four King Kongs" under his command and the few servants under his command.

In contrast, local officials in Huquan Town were less cooperative.

The mayor of Huquan Town was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was said to be quite talented, and was the descendant of a famous family in the royal capital of Serradia. When he received Fang Qiuling's summoning order, he was enjoying the noon meal, and he didn't take the acting lord's summoning order seriously at all, and still drank wine and meat unhurriedly, and only came after eating and drinking enough.

Fang Qiuling didn't say anything polite to the mayor after seeing it, and directly ordered him to be dismissed and thrown into prison on the charge of "dereliction of duty".

Below the mayor are the sheriff and the treasurer.

The sheriff is the leader of the town guard, and he is a professional with the strength of the middle level of black iron. He was shocked to learn that the army of the undead had landed on the western coast, but he didn't believe it at all. When Fang Qiuling asked him to summon all the soldiers of the town guard station and mobilize all the registered militia on behalf of the lord, he directly resigned from the post of sheriff.

If the sheriff simply did not cooperate, then the treasurer was blatantly opposed. Fang Qiuling ordered him to immediately list the storehouse and confirm the food and weapons reserves, so that they could be distributed to the town guard as soon as possible and used as materials for emergency assembly. But the pot-bellied financial officer directly refused, and at the same time squinted his eyes and questioned whether Viscount Fang Qiuling's identity was true and whether it complied with the relevant regulations of the Heraldic Court on the inheritance rights of nobles.

Fang Qiuling wasn't very angry when he heard this, but he just asked Franz, the griffin knight waiting on the side, to drag this guy out and cut it down!
