Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Brotherly Dispute
Since Viscount Ebreth officially gave the Dragon Ruins Fort to Meng Yang, among the great forces of the Dragon Descending Lords who tried to benefit from the rapidly developing Dragon Ruins, it was not the two brothers Guta and Ruta who were seriously damaged, in fact, it was the Hausen family that suffered the most. The leader of the previous expedition was an important person who had been in contact with Panlong's distant relative, and if he lost contact with that biggest backer, the Haosen family's position in the Dragon Descending Territory would soon plummet, and it was difficult to say whether they could continue to occupy a seat in the council, let alone occupy an absolute dominant position.
The reason why they demanded the establishment of a wolf slaughtering army and went to the territory of Longxu to eliminate the mad wolves who were in turmoil, and even ignored the obstruction of Viscount Ebreth, the Haosen family undoubtedly made up their minds to further defend their family's position in the Dragon Descending Territory with the help of this sweeping general action, at least let those noble lords who are eyeing the parliamentary seats understand that the dignity of the Haosen family is inviolable, and the strength is incomparable, not to mention hunting those crazy wolves, they can also obtain relatively high-grade magic materials and magic crystals, as for whether there is a big mine in the Dragon Ruins, they don't care。
The investigation team died in the mouth of the demon wolf for no reason, and this matter even became a gossip for many people in Descending Dragon City after dinner, which is definitely intolerable to the Haosen family, if you want to block the mouth of the people, the best way is to use a thunderous blow to completely present their own strength in front of everyone, so that they are afraid, and the gossip will naturally not be extinguished.
Because of the heavy snow blocking the mountain, the wolf slayer army of 1,000 people stayed in Yanlong City for nearly twenty days, but it was the baron Guta who complained bitterly. Those wolf-slaying sergeants are not fuel-efficient lamps, they have to eat and drink well, and they also wander the streets and alleys in groups of three or five, and when they see a slightly beautiful woman, they will rush up and ravage at will, not to mention the Xichun Pavilion in Yanlong City, which is specially used for people to have fun.
During this time, the boss of Xichun Pavilion ran to the lord's mansion almost every day, crying in front of the ancient tower, which made the ancient tower uneasy and extremely irritable.
The uncles of the wolf slaughtering army completely occupied the Xichun Pavilion, spoiling exquisite fruits and vegetables, wine and delicacies at will, and also occupied more than 100 pretty girls in the Xichun Pavilion. Of course, if these uncles are willing to pay the gold coins of the boss of Xichun Pavilion, then this matter is another matter, but it is a pity that these people eat the overlord meal, and they often fight each other with fists and feet, how can they drop a gold coin?
However, Guta himself is miserable, what can he do?
This group of sergeants are all from the mansions of various noble lords of the Dragon Lord, as the saying goes, it depends on the master to fight the dog, and at this sensitive moment of competing for the succession of the viscount, any noble lord can unite on his own front, which is a help that cannot be ignored. How could the ancient tower blame these wolf-slaying soldiers for this loss, and only hoped that the snow would melt quickly, so that these plague gods could rush to the dragon ruins.
The unbearable twenty days finally passed, three consecutive days of clearing, the snow melted a lot, a few feet of snow, blessed with magic props of the iron horse has been able to pass normally, early in the morning of this day, after the hangover drunk wolf slaughter army finally assembled, led by the sixth-level magician politely sent a message to Baron Guta, and the army was officially launched.
When the knights of the wolf slayer army disappeared from the sight of the people of Rock Dragon City, people rushed to tell each other, glad that the hard days had finally passed, but secretly they were all cursing, hoping that those crazy wolves were extremely fierce, so that these wolf slayers who were more ferocious than wolves would never return.
However, the ancient tower that had sent away the plague god was in his living room, and in front of him was a stack of bills a foot thick.
The butler's face turned pale and he whispered to him: "My lord, the total amount of the arrears and consumption lists submitted by various shops in the city has exceeded 490,000 gold coins, and there are almost no escapes from them in the city, except for the branch of the Qige Chamber of Commerce, which has not been attacked by them. Among them, the detailed bills listed by the Xichun Pavilion alone amounted to a staggering 230,000 gold coins・・・・・・"
"Smack!"
Enraged, Guta slapped the desk in front of him, and a mahogany desk shattered into sawdust, and the bills on the table flew all over the room like snowflakes.
"Damn, it's so damn! These guys are even worse than bandits. They have only lived in my Rock Dragon City for more than 20 days, and they have brought me a huge loss of nearly 500,000 gold coins. Even if my castle were breached by bandits, I wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss, would it? These guys are simply too presumptuous, they are the masters behind them, and they are used to pampering them. After Lao Tzu sat on the viscount, Lao Tzu slowly settled today's account with them. At present, we must put the overall situation first, and we cannot openly offend them. Recently, funds have been tight, where will the money come from to pay for these? You go and inform every shop owner, the accounts of the wolf slayer army will definitely be settled in full, but not now, let them not bother me again, otherwise, hum・・・・・・"
The butler was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, he shrunk his neck, and said weakly for a long time: "My lord, in fact, this is the aristocratic atmosphere of the empire, what is the use of my lord's anger? I have seen the royal army on patrol in the past, and wherever they go, they are even more powerful than locusts, and nothing will be left, compared to it, the wolf slaughtering army is relatively mild." ”
Guta snorted: "What do you know? In this world, whoever has a big fist will represent the law with his words." If Lao Tzu had an invincible royal elite team, Lao Tzu would have killed all the noble lords of the Dragon Descending Territory and occupied their mineral resources, and it would not be long before Lao Tzu's strength would rise like a snowball, but if I can't sit on the viscount position, it will be difficult for me to find a legitimate opportunity for expansion, so no matter what the price is, I must not let those two bastards take away my throne. By the way, what's the news from Dragon Descending City lately?"
The housekeeper said in a low voice: "My lord, it is said that the pharmacist from the imperial capital has successfully concocted a medicine that is extremely suitable for the treatment of the Viscount's illness, and the Viscount's physical condition has improved greatly recently, it seems that he will not be able to ・・・・・・ for a while."
Gu Ta rang for a while, and the housekeeper leaned closer and said: "Look, don't you take advantage of the delicate opportunity of the wolf slaughtering army to enter the dragon ruins, let's take the lead and eliminate Si Sang first?" First, we cut off an important competitor, after all, that is the heir designated by the Viscount, and second, we have taken over the three towns, at least we can supplement some resources, which will help us further expand our strength, anyway, the little one thinks that it is an extremely unwise choice to start a war with Yanlong first. To nourish the war with war, it is necessary to concentrate superior forces and strike at the enemy who is encroaching on the weak. At this time, we can't be hard-hitting, one careless, both lose, but let Si Sang be the fisherman who has made a profit. ”
Guta's face turned slightly pale, and he smiled: "I have never missed you, you are indeed the most resourceful person around me." Don't worry, when I enter the Dragon Descending City, I will do my best to support your cultivation, and promise to give you three rock dragons such a large territory as a territory, and give you a noble lord's document to ensure that the people in your family will enjoy wealth and glory for generations. I hope you don't disappoint me. I'll go to the training ground to see the situation, and if it's appropriate, the troops will be officially dispatched in the next day or two, so you should seize the time, gather intelligence, and draw up a detailed and thorough battle plan for me. ”
"Yes, my lord, the little one will retire first!" the butler bowed down with joy, but the ancient tower in the living room had a hideous face, and the boundless fire of desire burned in his eyes.
At the same time, there was a summons flying from Rock Dragon Castle to Sisanburg.
In the spacious basement of Lord Sisan's Mansion, the lights were bright.
Iniesta, with a noble face, was in the ascendant, and Swift, dressed in black, stood beside him like a black javelin.
In front of the two of them, the spacious room like a training ground was filled with more than three hundred sturdy men dressed in black clothes of all thieves.
Through the light, it can be clearly seen that these hundreds of men in black are actually thieves with thieves' medals, looking at the stars on the medals, the least are four, and the most are terrifying six. The entire basement was filled with a solemn murderous aura, because it was terrifyingly quiet, and the thieves seemed to be able to even breathe, this extreme quietness undoubtedly gave people a strong sense of fear and pressure that was almost suffocating.
I believe that even a seventh-level professional will definitely be moved when facing such a neat lineup of thieves alone.
Swift was the only thief who never wore a medal, and although Iniesta had declared him a level 5 thief when he participated in the Dragon Fall Tournament, he appeared in the ring that day and killed the last two opponents with an almost ghostly thunderbolt, and he did not wear a professional medal at the time. It was also because Meng Yang was radiant in that battle that attracted the attention of most people, and few people noticed that the thief beside Iniesta was really a very terrifying and powerful person.
Perhaps, Iniesta deliberately concealed the truth that the fight was a life-and-death fight from Meng Yang, aiming to make Meng Yang, who is talented and can survive alone in the volcanic lava area for more than ten years, fully display his survival skills, show his superhuman combat ability, and attract everyone's attention, the fundamental purpose of this is to reduce the degree of attention of Swift as much as possible.
There is no doubt that Meng Yang on that day completed the task competently, even far beyond all expectations, not to mention the brilliance, and slashed his opponent all the way until he fainted from exhaustion.
After a long time of wandering over the group of thieves who were as solemn as solid, Iniesta finally turned to look at Swift and said softly, "Your Excellency, do you mean that we can start acting now?"
Swift's eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was recuperating anytime and anywhere, and as if he could fall asleep anytime and anywhere, he replied: "Si Sang's external combat power is not worth mentioning in my eyes. To put it mildly, for the sake of the big plan, they are all the fate of being cannon fodder. I just received a tip-off that Guta is ready to mobilize the group of dead soldiers he has secretly raised, and will secretly infiltrate Sisang in the near future, and the battle will start at any time. According to the report, many days ago, Guta sent a small team equipped with magic equipment to the Dragon Ruins, but there was no news, and it seems that it has been folded in the mouth of the mad wolves. This loss is incomparably huge for Guta. Without those few powerful pieces of magical equipment, his combat effectiveness and lethality immediately dropped by a few notches. Adults can relax. As soon as his men and horses left the rock dragon, we immediately began to operate, and the troops were divided into two directions, and the original plan was carried out. At that time, the cannon fodder troops feinted to attack Yanlong Fort, and the main force set up an ambush to annihilate the main force of the invading ancient tower in one fell swoop. By the time Guta discovers that it is only our cannon fodder that is attacking his lair, it will already be over. ”
Iniesta said happily: "Your Excellency, according to your plan, once we cut off the ancient tower, we will immediately send troops to attack Ruta's Yanlong with lightning speed?
Swift's eyes opened suddenly, and the cold light suddenly shot on Iniesta's face, making him shiver involuntarily, and Swift snorted coldly: "I have already said that I chose you to preside over the Dragon Descending Leader, not because of your qualifications, but because I think you will be more obedient than those two." Small shrimp like Guta and Ruta are not qualified to be taken into account by me. You must notify the eyeliner you have planted in the Descending Dragon City again, and closely monitor the movements of the Lord's Mansion, especially the movements of the few cronies around the Viscount, as for the reason, you are a smart person, you shouldn't ask more, just carry it out. ”
Iniesta leaned slightly from the chair, touched the cold sweat and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes, the little one knows, Dazun." You can rest assured, the small ones don't have any huge ambitions, and they also know that what you do is a big thing, and it's not the turn of the small ones to know. I will carry out everything you have ordered to be done to the letter, and now it is like this, even if I take over the Dragon Descending City in the future, this heart will never change, and I will always respect the orders of the Great Venerable. ”
Swift said hesitantly, "It's good that you know." The ownership of the Dragon Ruins is related to the plans of countless big shots. If it weren't for the fact that the old fox had been clinging to the dragon ruins for so many years and would not let go, the dragon descending leader would have changed its owner for a long time. Do you know how your cheap father survived to this day unharmed? I'll tell you when I have the chance. However, his backer has also been in a lot of trouble recently, and he is too busy to take care of himself, hehe, otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to draw up such a careful plan to help you take the position of the Dragon Descending Lord. With my three hundred elite subordinates here, as long as the people lurking around your father don't move, within ten days, I can clear all obstacles on the road to inheritance for you!"
Iniesta was extremely moved, and said in his heart: "God, how strong is this old guy's strength? Ten days to wipe out the entire dragon descending? Even such a powerful Earl Amanda, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to say such a thing easily, right?"
However, he knew that what Swift said was absolutely true, and he and his team of thieves definitely had such a strong strength.
Iniesta's eyes shrank, and the bright lights transformed into a few neon colors, giving him endless yearning and anticipation for the future.
