Chapter Seventy-Three: The Forsaken City, Vantolis (4)

"You...... You're going to rob the convoy of pay that Sassen is carrying to Galik?"

Alan really couldn't believe it, it was an army of two to three thousand knights.

As if coming back to his senses, Tammy roared angrily, "He'...... What is this little imp for? Why is he here?" As he spoke, his eyes showed a bit of fierceness, and he subconsciously pulled out a dagger from behind his waist, "Stop, Tammy!" Loud Dammy was drunk, and Viv said in a deep voice, "He's just a little ghost who lives with me......"

"But this little imp hears it! he hears about us!" Interrupting Viv angrily, Tammy, who is as strong as a bull, holds the dagger in his right hand and stares at Alan and says in a low voice, "Little ghost, it's to blame you for hearing something you shouldn't have heard!"

"Tammy!"

Immediately pushed away Viv, who came to stop him, Tammy licked his lips and looked at Allen, seeing that the other party subconsciously raised his hand as a guard, he sneered and said viciously, "Yo, little ghost, do you want to resist? Hey! Let me see those fire-breathing tricks!"

As he spoke, he rushed forward, his left hand stretched out and grabbed at Allen's collar, but to his surprise, his arm was grabbed by the other party, and he grabbed the ground.

"This ......" felt the grip from his left arm, and Tammy looked at Alan in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I won't do those little tricks that you call fire-breathing, but ......" I saw a slight crackling sound, Allen's muscles swelled suddenly, staring at the man in front of him and said, "Compared with strength, I won't lose!"

"Really?" saw a bit of madness in Tammy's eyes, and under Alan's surprised expression, he actually pushed Eren into the corner, and then stabbed down with the dagger in his right hand.

Looking at the dagger that flashed with cold light, Alan couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart, only to see him slam his head to the side, and the dagger that didn't seem to be sharp actually pierced into the wall and didn't enter most of it.

"Strength?huh?" Tammy glared at Alan viciously as he drew his dagger and stabbed it again, with Viv's shout, Tammy's waist suddenly exploded into flames, and the violent impact instantly knocked him back, crushing the only table in the room.

"Big Brother Tammy!"

"Tammy?" everyone in the room, including Viv, was a little shocked at what they saw, and then they turned their heads to see a boy with dark blond hair standing at the end of the wooden ladder, in the attic on the second floor, who was slowly lowering his right hand.

"Wow, my clothes ......" Three times and two times extinguished the flames on his body, Alan looked at the wooden ladder angrily, looked at Jiang Zhe above the attic, and said helplessly, "Man, although it is to save me, but can you consider my situation? And this dress, I have only been wearing it for two days......"

"Shut up!" Jiang Zhe frowned and scolded because he saw that the strong man named Tammy could slowly get up from the ground and look at him with an unhappy expression.

"Is this magic?" Tearing open the already worn vest on his body, which was now burned beyond recognition, and threw it aside, Tammy, who was wearing the solid muscles of his shirt, moved his muscles and bones, looked at Jiang Zhe and said threateningly, "Little ghost, do I think you are thinking of me to challenge......?"

No way?

Looking at Tammy's somewhat reddened but uninjured waist in amazement, Jiang Zhe subconsciously looked at his right hand.

Please, although I deliberately weakened the power, it was still a flame flash, this guy...... While the two were facing each other, Viv stepped forward a few steps, pressed Tammy's hand, and said sternly, "Stop, Tammy—if you still want my help!"

Glancing at Viv deeply, Tammy let out a long breath, looked at Jiang Zhe and said, "You're lucky, little ghost!" As he spoke, he said to the few young people behind him, "Go, arrest those two little ghosts, as well as a few upstairs!"

"Tammy, what are you doing here?"

Breaking away from Viv's hand, Tammy whispered, "Don't you understand, Viv, if those imps run to snitch, our plan will fail!"

Stretching out his hand to stop the young men who were about to move, Viv looked at Tammy and said solemnly, "These little ghosts are my friends, they have my approval, I don't allow you to hurt them!"

"Friend?" Tammy laughed, then looked deeply at Viv, saw his resolute attitude, looked down and thought about it, and said, "Okay, I promise you not to hurt them, but to lock them up for the time being—I don't trust them!"

After hesitating for a moment, Viv nodded helplessly, then looked at Jiang Zhe and Allen, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Soth, Allen, I want to wronged you for the time being......"

Looking seriously at Tammy, who was looking at him with threatening eyes, Alan took Jiang Zhe's hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's really troublesome...... Okay, but wait a few minutes, I don't want you to disturb the sleeping beautiful ladies on the second floor......"

"Humph!" Tammy threatened, crossing his arms around his arms, "I wish you had escaped with them, so I could string them all on a spear!"

"Shut up, Tammy!"

A few minutes later, under the watchful eye of more than a dozen Thranders, Allen, Jiang Zhe, and the unknown and inexplicable girls were imprisoned in a low house.

"Dang Chang!" the iron door of the house was locked.

"Whew," covering her face speechlessly, Lavia looked at Alan and Jiang Zhe angrily and said, "Okay, gentlemen, can you tell us what happened now, why are we being locked up here, and let's not resist ......"

Looking outside at the iron gate, Alan turned his head and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Unlucky, I just wanted to get some water to drink, only to hear their plan......"

"What plan?"

"You know?" Ellen licked his lips and said with some interest, looking around at the girls, "They want to rob Sassen of the weapons and food that he shipped to Galik!"

"What?" the girls were shocked.

"That's Garric's salary," Lavia said with a frown, looking at Alan in surprise, "If I'm right, there will be at least two thousand knights escorting such a transport...... This is no longer a robbery, this is an attack, it is a raid, they are attacking an emperor [***] team!"

"Oh my God," said the pale-faced Lyrela, clutching the knight puppet tightly and panicking, "what are we going to do?

"Probably not, right?" said unconfidently, Lisa bit her lip and looked around at the room, which was even dirtier and worse than the prison, and sat in the corner with her body curled up, puffing out her cheeks and saying, "If we knew they were going to do bad, we should have taught them a hard lesson, hmph, we are magicians!"

"I'm sorry, there are only six of us, and here, there are thousands of Thranders," Shrugging helplessly, Alan patted his chest and said with a grin, "But as a knight's glory, I will protect you, ladies!"

"Come on, even your knight's sword has been taken, what protection do you have?" Lavia pursed her lips disdainfully.

"Okay, okay," Alan was obviously accustomed to Lavia's ridicule, and glanced at Jiang Zhe casually, but saw that he was frowning and thinking about something, and said with a smile, "Hey, man, what are you thinking?"

"Hmm," Jiang Zhe frowned, looked at his right hand and whispered, "You know, Allen, I used a flame flash just now, although I deliberately weakened the power, but that guy ...... It doesn't seem to have taken any damage, but it's strange that he's not a magician, so how can he resist the power of the flame flash?"

"I can explain that," Alan said earnestly, "He's a warrior, Soth!

Looking at Alan in amazement, Jiang Zhe asked in wonder, "Angry?

"Anger, that's a high-level skill that belongs to warriors," before Eren could explain, Lavia said in a deep voice, "In our human history, magicians have created magic, and warriors have mastered the use of anger, stimulating themselves by generating angry negative emotions, so as to obtain strength far beyond the usual level, and by controlling the anger in their hearts, powerful warriors can give themselves great strength, strengthen their wrists, increase their speed, and be strong** intensity, but anger is very difficult to master, and it is not something that can be achieved without limiting the emotions of anger - it seems that we are right not to resist, and at that distance, the warrior who has mastered anger can easily kill us one by one......"

"Really?" Looking at Lavia with a serious expression, Jiang Zhe was obviously a little incredulous, after seeing the power of magic, he didn't believe that a seemingly ordinary warrior could actually cause damage to a mysterious magician, or even kill him.

"It's true!" Lavia whispered without any mockery, Rage was first born in gladiators in the era of chaos, and magic was born in an era, when the aristocracy was popular to watch death row prisoners fight beasts for fun, in the face of fierce beasts, one prisoner exerted extraordinary power because of fear, these also happened to mercenaries in danger, but this power obtained from fear was not stable, so the warriors figured out how to replace fear with strong anger, and eventually these evolved into anger...... For warriors who don't understand any magic, although the increase in the power of anger is far less than magic, but it is a way to enhance their strength, and with the development of history, warriors and knights have declined, and few warriors can comprehend and master anger, it is written in the magic encyclopedia that the warrior who stimulates the state of anger can reduce the damage of magic to him, at least the magic below the third level has no effect on them, although it is a flame flash, but the flame flash that you deliberately weaken the power of, at most it is only a third-level magic!”

"My God......" Jiang Zhe shook his head weakly, in his impression, how could a warrior be comparable to a magician?

"Is it just to control the anger in your heart?"

"I know what you want to say, but the increase in anger is only ** power, which does not help us magicians in any way, and mastering anger requires curbing the anger in the body from time to time, otherwise you will be completely overwhelmed by anger and lose your mind, so even knights will not choose to master anger, but only have a relatively low status, Warriors who do not have high-quality weapons will have no choice but to master it, which is a very cheap skill, but at the same time it is a very advanced skill, according to historical records, human beings really use anger, the first to learn from the barbarians, barbarians control anger, stimulate the body, in order to resist the harsh climate and environment, and use it to fight...... Haven't you heard of the barbarian berserker?"

"Berserker ......" Jiang Zhe shook his head speechlessly, then turned his head to look at Alan and said, "I remember that there should be a magic teleportation array in the big city, right?

"It's very simple," before Alan could speak, Lavia said as a matter of course, "Opening the teleportation array requires continuous consumption of the magician's magic power, and this teleportation method is very unstable, and it is easy to lose the transported materials in the space mezzanine, so unless it is absolutely necessary, the teleportation array is generally not used, of course, if Garrick is affected by the rebellion and is in a chaotic situation, then Sassen will not only open the magic teleportation array, but also use it to teleport the army- Of course, a royal knight who is not easy to train will never be teleported like this!"

"Okay, I think I get ......"

In this way, several imps waited boredly and long, and after waiting for several hours, Viv came to visit them alone.

It can be seen that this bearded scumbag man is very guilty in his heart, and he doesn't even dare to look at Jiang Zhe and the others.

After he promised to let the children go safely, Viv sighed and left.

And when I saw him again, it was already the early morning of the next day...... At that time, the sky was still dark and the moon still dominated the starry sky, and at this moment, with a sound of footsteps, Viv appeared in front of the children with a torch in one hand.

Compared to the day before, now Viv smelled of blood all over his body, all of which came from the wound tightly bandaged with rags around his waist, looking at the scars on his body and the tiredness on his face, it could be seen that he had experienced a fierce battle.

"Click!" the chain on the iron door was removed, and holding the torch in one hand, Viv looked apologetically at the children who had quietly woken up in the room and raised their heads, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to let you stay here for a day and a night......

Standing up and looking at the wounds on the other party's body in amazement, Alan licked his lips and said, "Hey, man, you look like you're in a bad situation......"

Hearing Allen's words, Viv subconsciously glanced at his injuries and said with a wry smile, "I can't die!"

Patting the dust off his body, Alan asked hesitantly, "...... you guys Succeeded?"

After a long silence, Viv shook his head and said solemnly, "No, we didn't succeed...... Because what we really want, we haven't gotten yet, but we haven't failed either...... We will only fail when the last Thrandan falls!" he said, pausing, gesturing outside, "get out of here, your carriage is right in front of my house...... Come with me!"

Several children glanced at each other and followed Viv out of the house, but they were still a little vigilant in their hearts, after all, they couldn't decide whether they could trust the man in front of them, even Jiang Zhe and Allen, they didn't dare to guarantee it.

But the fact is that Viv did not deceive the children, and the carriage was parked intact in front of Viv's house.

It's just that in addition to Jiang Zhe's carriage, there are also several carriages with special styles parked on the road...... Looking at the imperial insignia stamped on the carriage, it was clear that it was the carriage of Sassen's military payroll convoy to Galik...... In fact, there is no need to guess, because the swarming Thrand people frantically put those rice grains in the car and chew them in their mouths, even the children, for whom food is no less than life!

But madness to madness, there was no expression of joy on the faces of the Thranders, for the reason for the fact that in the ruined ground in the middle of the city of Vantoris, the compatriots who had given their lives for the sake of the military pay were piled up like a mountain.

These grains were snatched back by the Thrand people with their lives!

"Viv!" With a hard and powerful call, Jiang Zhe and the others met the first warrior of Vantolis again, Tammy Sampford, the warrior who had mastered his anger and was walking from a distance with a blood-stained spear in his hand.

"Tammy," Glancing at Tammy who was gradually approaching, Viv stood in front of Jiang Zhe and the others, frowned and said, "If you hurt them, Tammy ......"

"Don't get me wrong," casually tossed the spear in his hand to his companion behind him, Tammy walked up to Viv, with a somewhat crazy look, stretched out his hand and said, "We succeeded!"

Glancing at Tammy, Viv took Tammy's hand, shook his head and sighed, "No, we haven't made it yet!"

"But we have food, we have weapons!"

"But those were bought with the blood and lives of our compatriots!"

"So what?!" Rummy shouted as he looked around at the dense crowd of Thrands, "I'd rather die on the battlefield than survive the persecution of the Empire!"

"Drink!" all the Thrand members of the city gathered around the city, raising their right hands in anticipation of Tammy.

Glancing at the carriages marked with the imperial insignia, Viv let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "We have declared war on the Empire, we have no way back, I hope we have not led Thurland to destruction......"

"No!Viv, we're changing Thurland!" Tammy shouted as he pointed to the carriages, "not only do we have food, but we also have weapons, weapons! weapons of battle! we can resist the royal knights!"

"No, we can't!" Suddenly, an old voice came from the crowd.

With a bit of anger, Tammy subconsciously turned his head, only to see that the crowd had retreated slightly, and dozens of old men with wooden crutches were slowly approaching.

"Big ...... Great Elder?" Looking at the old man who walked in front of him, Tammy crouched down, prostrate on the ground, looked up at the old man and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Great Elder, I disobeyed your orders, but we Thrand people need to change, we can't submit to the Empire, you've seen it all these years, we've been abandoned by the Empire, we're not even as slaves, and when needed, the Empire will use some food to lure us into joining the Emperor's [***] team, but what about other times?" That little food is not enough to feed our fellow man, and the damned nobles would rather put their precious grain in the storehouse and get moldy than give it to us......"

"I know all of this," the Great Elder nodded slowly with his eyes closed, then lowered his body, patted Tammy on the shoulder, and said, "You get up first, your crimes are so insignificant compared to Thorland's fate!"

Tammy slowly stood up, lowered his head and said, "I don't ask the Great Elder to forgive my sins, when the royal knights come, I will be at the forefront of the battlefield!"

"You brave warrior, I know all of this!" the Great Elder sighed slightly, then looked at the silent crowd and sighed, "Thrand really needs to change...... But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, Tammy, now is not the best time!" he said, glancing at Vief, who hurriedly lowered his head.

"But ......"

"Listen to me, Tammy!" interrupting Tammy's words, the Great Elder slowly walked over to a carriage loaded with grain, looked at the grain on the cart, and said softly, "The price to pay for these grains and weapons in exchange for the heavy consequences of declaring war on the Empire is too great...... Vantoris can't resist the royal knight's hooves!" he said, stretching out his right hand, trembling and grasping a handful of grains, which were still spilled back into the car between his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Viv, Tammy, you have brought immeasurable disaster to Thrand...... Are you enlightened?"

Viv and Tammy looked at each other, their heads bowed and they didn't dare to say anything.

"Vantolis can't resist the royal knight's iron hoof!" Repeating what he had just said, the Great Elder turned around and looked at the silent Thrand people all around, and said in a deep voice, "A long time ago, our ancestors founded the city of Vantolade, and since then, we Thrand people have not been able to escape the fate of being controlled by the Empire, maybe you think that we old fellows are too useless and cowardly, and let our compatriots be persecuted by the Empire, but...... It is too late to say this, and it will not be long before the Emperor[***] team will come to Vantoris, although it is not the best time, but ......" as he said, he raised his cane and shouted loudly, "Are you enlightened, my children......? Now tell me, my children, do you have this awareness?!"

Glancing at the silence all around, Tammy raised his clenched fists and shouted, "Compatriots, what more can we lose? We have nothing! Do we choose to starve to death or die of disease, or do we choose to save this life to fight the royal knights and create a better future for our children?!

Glancing at Tammy with a sigh, Viv also shouted, "I'm sorry, fellow citizens, maybe what we do will bring immeasurable disaster to Thrand, but are we suffering less......? I believe that we will be able to lead Thrand out of the control of the Empire, so ...... Please help us! All the people of Thrand, please help us!"

After a moment of silence, countless Thrand raised their fists and roared loudly.

"Tammy!"

"Tammy!"

"Viv!"

"Viv!"

After a full minute or two, the Grand Elder sighed slightly, then raised his hand, and after the crowd had quieted down, he said to Viv and Tammy, "Maybe the army of the Empire will come to Vantolis in just a few days, if you really have an awareness in your hearts, then...... Prove it to me!" As he spoke, he glanced around, with a little affection, and whispered, "Vantolas, this city is full of the tragic fate of our Thranders, and since we Thranders have the consciousness to rebel against the Empire, then there is no need for it!

"Burn...... Burn Vantolis?" Not to mention Tammy, even Viv was shocked.

"Yes!" the Great Elder said in a deep voice, "Tear down the city walls and burn down the houses! Now that you have enlightenment, you must do it thoroughly! The ancestors resisted the empire on the one hand, but on the other hand, they hoped that the anti-Torris could hold back the imperial army, so they would fail, this is a profound lesson! Burn Vantolis...... We Thrand people have no way out, either we succeed and reclaim the glory of our ancestors and the smiles of our children, or we fail, and there is no more Cerlanders in this world......"

With a frightened countenance, Tammy subconsciously looked at Viv, saw that he nodded hesitantly, then gritted his teeth and said to the crowd around him, "Burn!"

"Really...... Do you really want to burn?"

"Grand Elder Tammy?"

"Go!" cried Vief in a deep voice, though he was equally distressed, for Vantolis was undoubtedly the most welcoming home for the Thranders, though there was nothing here.

Wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes, a dozen Thranders turned their heads and walked into the distance, and it wasn't long before the city burst into flames.

Sweeping his gaze back and forth between Tammy and Viv, the Grand Elder suddenly handed Viv the cane in his hand.

"Big ...... Great Elder?"

Looking at Viv with an incredulous expression, the Great Elder said in a deep voice, "Tammy is right, we are too old, the old land no longer has the strength and courage to contend with the Empire, from now on, you are the leader of our Thrlanders! Tammy, you're the most powerful warrior in our Thrander, but you're too impulsive for me to trust the race to you...... However, I hope you can help Viv and wash away your crimes!"

"Yes, Grand Elder!" Tammy nodded and said sincerely, "As long as I live, I will definitely fight for Thrand!"

Kneeling silently, Viv reached out and took the cane from the Great Elder's hand.

"Viv!"

"Viv!"

"Viv!"

After a burst of cheers, the Great Elder glanced at Viv and whispered, "Take food and weapons, go to the east, there are mountains that can withstand the army of the Empire, and our compatriots, who will help you ......"

As if hearing something, Viv said in astonishment, "What about the elders?"

"We?" Glancing back at the old people behind him, the Great Elder smiled, smiled very easily, maybe he hadn't smiled like this for a long time, only to see him and the dozens of old people behind him glance at each other, and said with a smile, "Women and children, the future of our Thrand people, no matter what, we must ensure their safety, even if it is at the expense of your lives, and we ...... We are too old to help you, and those precious foods don't have to be wasted on us...... I have consulted with the elders, and we are unanimous - we are to remain in Vantoris, and the tragic fate of the Thrand people will come to an end in our lifetime!"

"Great Elder!"

"Great Elder?"

"Come with us!"

"We will protect you and the elders, even at the cost of our lives!"

In a burst of shocked persuasion, the Great Elder shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Every life of our Thrand people is precious, as precious as food, and it should not be wasted on us old fellows...... We've lived here for the rest of our lives, and we don't want to leave ...... again," he said, stretching out his hand and putting his hand on Viv's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Viv, remember your mission and lead us Thrand people!"

"Yes...... I will, Grand Elder!"

An hour later, when the sun had just risen over the horizon, Vantoris had become a sea of fire, merciless flames engulfing the city that had lasted for more than two hundred years, taking with them the bodies of the warriors who had died for food and weapons, and all the old people - for Thrand, who was about to change his fate, they had become a burden and a burden, and there was no place for them in the future.

With women, children, and food and weapons, tens of thousands of Cylandians migrated eastward - by the way, rebelling against the Empire, they needed to gather the strength of all Cerlandians.

Take a step and look back, there is an indelible pain in the hearts of Serlanders.

"Whew!" On a small hillside in the distance, Viv stared at the crutch in his hand, stroking it carefully, even if it was just a crutch made of ordinary trees, and then, he let out a long breath, turned to Jiang Zhe and said, "I'm sorry, little ghosts, I have met you with something unpleasant...... As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, pointed to the north and said, "From that road, at the speed of a carriage, in about a day, you can reach the border of Galik......"

"Thanks, man," Alan said, glancing at the long line down the hill, licking his lips and looking at Viv, "then...... Goodbye!"

"Wait," the children were about to leave, and as they were about to leave, Viv called out to them, took out the twenty gold coins that had been 'tricked' from Allen's body, and said sincerely, "Give these back to you!"

"What is this?" Shrugging, Alan pouted, "I said, it's just a deal!"

"Yes," said with a faint smile, and Wiff put one of the gold coins in his arms, then shoved the rest to Allen, and said with a smile, "Once upon a time, I always wanted to be an honest and honest businessman......

"Hey!"

Glancing at the boys and girls in front of him, Viv exhaled a slight sigh and whispered, "Goodbye, maybe we will meet again in the future, I hope we won't be enemies then, but even if we do, you will still be my friends with Genevieve Dolby!"

"It seems that he is not suitable to be a businessman......" Looking at the gold coins in his hand and smiling bitterly, Alan raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and muttered, "It seems that the war is not as interesting as I thought......"

"Let's go!" Glancing at the Serlander team, Jiang Zhe walked towards the carriage.

Two days later, the news of the Thrand of Vantolis attacking Sassen and transporting the pay to Galic was reached by the surviving escort knights at great speed, causing the wrath of the Sassen nobles, including the Sassen king.

Enraged, King Sassen immediately sent a magical letter to the royal knightly army still stationed in Jacobsenbu, but by the time the royal knights arrived in Vantoris, it was in ruins...... And in the same way, the news reached the ears of some people, such as Argu......s, who was at the moment in Garric, "What? Galik's salary was attacked by the Thranders?"

When his companion Poole the necromancer told Argus the news, Argus couldn't believe his ears.

"You mean the Cerlanders, the Cerlanders, the Cerlanders who have no food, no weapons?"

"Yes, you heard you right," nodded emphatically, and Poole whispered, "it was at night, and the Emperor's [***] team was unprepared, and you know that the Thrandians never dared to attack Garrick's salaries...... The Thrlanders frantically attacked the Empire's escort knights, paying the price of more than a thousand people for this......"

"Don't you tell me that the Imperial escort army was broken up like this?" Argus said mockingly, with some disbelief.

"In fact...... That's it!" Shrugging his shoulders, Poole shook his head and said, "Even a well-trained army can't stand up to a few thousand crazy Thranders, and it's unguarded - after all, escorting troops aren't royal knights!"

"Oh my God!" Covering his forehead weakly, Argus said angrily, "It seems that the empire is not far from the end, and the Thrandians have successfully attacked Garric's salary...... Damn it, those damned Thrlanders dare to sabotage my plans!"

"What are you going to do? Argus, there will be no money to be sent to Galik in the near future, which means that your plan to attack the lord of Garic under the guise of the Imperial nobles has come to naught......"

"Those damn bastards, just ...... at this time," Argus said as he covered his forehead in frustration, and after looking down for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Forget it, we don't need to be angry with those Thrlanders who don't know whether to live or die, huh...... In fact, this is not a bad thing, losing the military salary, undoubtedly a heavy blow to the empire, hey, now the Serlanders have to see, well, it turns out that I didn't include the Serlanders in the plan, because the Cerlanders lack weapons, lack of food, but actually ...... It's too underestimating them, hehe, it's okay like this, Jacob Senbu is messed up, Brownhill is also messed up, now it's Thrand, only Galik is left, as long as Galic is messed up, then the entire northeast of the empire will be in war, hum, that's not bad......"

"So, what about Lord Galik?" Poole frowned and said, "Avery Ogier, this old guy has a lot of prestige, as long as he lives, not to mention the royal knights of Sasson, even if it is Galik, it is only a matter of time before the rebellion in those regions is quelled, don't forget, Avery Ogier is a headache for the barbarians!"

Looking at Poole with a smile, Argus said lightly, "Kill him before he puts down the rebellion, of course!"

"What are you going to do? If you can't disguise yourself as an Imperial nobleman, or blend in with the escort knights who escort the military pay, you won't be able to provoke a conflict between Galik and Sasson!"

"No need," Argus smiled slightly, rubbed his hands and said easily, "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have believed that the Thrandians had successfully attacked Galik's salary, I don't believe it, and of course the Gallic soldiers wouldn't believe it, you know, for the sake of the military pay over the years, the soldiers of Gallik's army hated the Sassen nobles very much, and they would definitely think that this was a trick of the Sassen nobles......"

"No way, no matter how stupid the Sassen nobles are, they won't withhold Garrick's salary...... Well, well, even if Garrick's soldiers and local nobles believed it, what about Avery Ogier? he wouldn't believe it, and with him, no matter how angry Garrick's soldiers were, nothing would happen......"

"So," said Argus, smiling slightly, "kill him!" I have sent instructions to Kars, and in a few days our sharpshooters will be coming to Galik with the summons of death, of course, for the sake ......of the old fellow."

"Are you going to assassinate Avery Ogier directly, and you're not afraid of being discovered?"

"What if you find a problem?" said Argus calmly, smiling at Poole, "and after waiting for more than half a year for a military salary, but being attacked, in a few days, Galik will be full of suspicion of the Sassen nobles, you know, boring speculation often leads to all sorts of unpleasant consequences, and if Avery Ogier is assassinated, Galic will be a mess......"

"But there will be people who will doubt the ...... of this"

"Don't worry, my companion, as long as we pass the news of the death of this old fellow Avery Ogier to those who like to fight with their pet dogs, the Galiks will no longer track us down, and the entire northeast of the empire will be in chaos...... Thanks to the Thorland bastards, I don't like pretending to be someone else......"

"Okay, okay, let's hope everything goes well," said Poole, looking left and right, and said angrily, "Now I just want to ask, how long are we going to stay in this city?, Galik's Magic Society has been tracking us down, and we really don't need to show our faces on the street......"

"Please wait, my companion......"

"Wait for that werewolf? We've been waiting for a month or two, and God knows where that guy is, maybe where that guy is gnawing on the corpse!"

"Wow, that's disgusting, dear Poole," Shaking his head helplessly, Argus casually glanced at the distance of the street, and then, seeing his eyes light up, he said jokingly, "Not necessarily, Poole, you see, the guy who gnawed on the corpse is here!"

I saw that the visitor glanced at the black-robed guy in front of him suspiciously, and frowned when he saw his face.

"Are you...... Argus?"

(To be continued)
