Reinforcements arrived, and the overwhelmed fortifications of the city also collapsed under the successive attacks of the Warcraft army.

The blood-colored light that rose from the sky soared into the sky, and it was clearly visible within a radius of dozens of miles. The rich elemental aura can be felt even by those who have not studied magic.

"Magic Crystal Mine!"

Governor Pierce said indifferently.

The murderous aura in his eyes had already exposed his true thoughts in his heart. Viscount Otum on the side was even more frightened.

Magic Crystal Ore, this kind of strategic resource, is not something that a small viscount can have. The small magic crystal ore with low reserves is just that.

But judging from the movement exposed in front of him, this is undoubtedly a large magic crystal mine. Even a big nobleman like the Dalton family can't swallow something, Viscount Otum actually dares to hide and mine it privately.

What's more, this kind of private mining is not a day or two, but may last for hundreds of years.

In order to cover up the mining movement, he did not hesitate to move the county town to the mine, and blessed the magic array blockade aura.

Obviously, Viscount Otum's ancestors also gave birth to big shots. This kind of handiwork is not something that an ordinary middle-class aristocrat can accomplish.

"Your Excellency the Governor, defeat the beasts and deal with this problem!"

Compared to Governor Pierce's anger, Hudson was much calmer.

The Coslow family has only been rising for a few days, and if it weren't for Viscount Otum's ancestors who could hide the magic crystal mine, this thing would have been carved up a long time ago, and it would not have been his turn to get a piece of the pie.

Now that the exposure is just right, whether it is handed over to the kingdom or whether the nobles of the southeastern provinces join forces to hide and mine, Hudson can take a piece of the pie.

"Good!"

He said yes, but deep down Governor Pierce was dripping blood. Even if he discovered this magic crystal mine three or five years earlier, he would not be so passive.

The two are side by side, how can one be more dominant?

If eyes could kill, Viscount Otum would have been broken into pieces. This is not only digging the walls of the kingdom, but also digging the foundation of the Dalton family.

A large magic crystal mine is an important strategic resource for any major power.

The specific reserves and quality of magic crystals are unknown for the time being, but it can be seen from the movement at the scene that it is definitely not ordinary.

The mystery of the Blood Moon County City's large number of magic crystal cannons has now been solved. Guys who don't lack magic crystals can naturally squander them wantonly.

"The whole army is attacking, and the beasts are flanked in front and back!"

With Hudson's order, a bloody battle broke out in full swing, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world for a while.

As a dragon knight, Hudson was forced to lead the way and rush to the forefront of the ranks.

"Maxim, you idiot, don't fight, rush out of here!"

Looking at the red dragon with himself straight towards the herd, Hudson was furious. If it weren't for the fact that this product was usually more than two, he would have suspected that it was deliberately cheating the owner.

Scolding and scolding, the effect is still very good. The dragon rampaged through the herd, making the already chaotic herd even more unbearable.

No matter how the three high-level demonic beasts commanded, they couldn't stop the beasts from becoming more and more chaotic.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the beast herd, the Terran master who followed him immediately expanded this advantage in a vain attempt to split the beast herd in two.

The three high-level demonic beasts who were eager to try did not rush up after all. Without the cooperation of the beast herd, just one eighth-order demonic beast + two seventh-order demonic beasts can't do a full-grown dragon.

】

Perhaps realizing that the general trend had gone, the three wolf cubs in the lead quickly broke away from the battlefield and headed straight for the Warcraft Mountain Range.

The trees fell and scattered, and the herd of beasts without the command of high-level demonic beasts quickly collapsed under the impact of the army.

Seeing this scene, Maxim, who was obsessed with money, became more and more eager to fight, and chased after him directly.

The steady Hudson has left the back of the Red Dragon and is out of the battlefield with Bear Stearns.

Don't look at the many demonic beasts participating in the battle, but for the entire Blackstone Mountain Range, only a small part of them are coming over now.

The Demonic Beast that launched this beast tide was only an eighth-order Demonic Beast with the highest rank, and it could not represent the Blackstone Mountain Range at all.

Hudson remembered that Bear Stearns had said that in the depths of the Blackstone Mountains, there were ninth-order demonic beasts.

Now this battle is nothing more than cleaning up the demonic beasts in this nearby area. If you go deep into the Blackstone Mountains, it is also dangerous.

Of course, this danger was for Hudson. Maxim, who has rough skin and thick flesh, can run even if he can't win in the past.

Of all races, dragons are the most balanced and elite wave of talents. Whether it is speed, attack, defense, or land, sea and air combat, it is the top level.

There may be Warcraft unilaterally surpassing them, but no one can surpass them in all aspects.

Including Hudson's carefully cultivated Bear Stearns, he can only dominate on land. If you change the battlefield, you will be completely abused by Maxim.

……

In the small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, a white-haired old man chattered and cursed, "I can't live this day!"

Our business has just opened, and we have encountered a beast tide that has not been seen in decades, and this time it is bound to lose money.

……”

The girl in red on the side said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are possessed by a moldy god." Everywhere you go, something will happen! ”

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. The white-haired old man secretly complained in his heart, just busy doing things, ignoring the flaws he exposed.

Although these things on the surface have nothing to do with the old man who cut off half of his body into the ground, the nobles don't need evidence to do things.

Once they notice that every time a major event happens, they are haunted by a group of people, and they will do it directly.

It doesn't matter if you're wrong, it's just a few businessmen who don't enter the stream, who will stand up for them?

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense, they are all adults, why are they still so naughty!

I've only had bad luck lately, but when I had good financial luck in the past few years, I made a lot of money.

It seems that I have to find someone to marry you off as soon as possible, otherwise my old bones will be tossed to death by you sooner or later. ”

The constant complaints on his lips and the love in his eyes still can't be concealed.

As a cult, there are times when it is silent. During the orc invasion a few years ago, the Skull and Bones Society settled down.

It's not that they have the overall picture, but the financiers behind the scenes don't let them do things. Cult organizations that could not understand the direction of the wind were all shipwrecked and killed in the wind and rain.

Once the major forces are ruthless, no matter how deep they hide, they can be found out.

Who made this a transcendent world?

If there is no clue, there is also a divination. Of course, the great prophecy of the Holy See has the same effect.

It is impossible to predict exactly what will happen in the future, but it is not difficult to investigate what happened in the past. Unless there is a master who disrupts the thread of fate, it will be difficult to get through.

Just like the previous assassination of Caesar III, he was pinched off by someone, no matter how the Alpha Kingdom investigated, it couldn't find a breakthrough.

These are all the handicrafts of the top powers, and the skeleton will be this kind of ruined, but they don't have this ability.

The old man has been able to live smoothly until now, all thanks to the talent of his granddaughter, and has avoided countless dangers.

"Grandpa, I won't get married, I want to ......"

Before she finished speaking, the girl in red's face changed greatly: "Grandpa, pack up your things and leave, it's too late!" ”

"Guna, are you sure you didn't feel wrong? There are all demonic beasts outside the city, so let's go out now......"

Before he finished speaking, the sky-high vision went straight to the clouds, and the old man couldn't help but exclaim: "Demon crystal mine! ”

In an instant he understood. The news that the Blood Moon County is located on the Demon Crystal Mine has been exposed, which means that this place has become a place of right and wrong.

Will the nobles of the southeastern province give the magic crystal ore to the kingdom in peace?

If these people don't want to hand it over, they can only block the news. As witnesses, I'm afraid they won't want to leave the Blood Moon County for the rest of their lives.

House arrest is a small matter, the key is that these noble lords have to investigate everyone's identity, and their identities cannot withstand scrutiny.

Once the problem is discovered, it is good to send it to mining, and it is more likely to be a direct death.

"Grandpa, don't worry about the magic crystal mine. Those are all aristocratic lords, and they won't give you a single gold coin.

Someone called for reinforcements just now, and the defenders should now start a counteroffensive. The herd outside is no match for the regular army, and it is only a matter of time before it is defeated.

Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, this is our last chance to leave. Otherwise, when the nobles and lords react, they won't be able to leave!

Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to find the little wolf, it hasn't eaten milk today? ”

As she spoke, Guna had already taken a wolf cub out of the house. It's just that this young wolf is not like a normal wolf, it is more like a dog than a wolf.

The white hair, full of aristocratic temperament, can be seen at a glance that it is of noble birth.

That's right, it's another part of picking up monsters halfway. As they passed through the edge of the Blackstone Mountains, a group of mercenaries and wolves took action, and the little creature scurried to Guna's carriage.

Seeing that the breed was extraordinary, they took it out and arrived all the way to the Blood Moon County City.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and pack your things, I don't understand people!

Forget it, money is something outside of the body. Bring the essentials and you don't want these goods. ”

The old man said with a painful face.

After so many years, he has long been addicted to acting. Many times it is a small businessman who is a philistine, including now deciding to give up the goods, it is really painful.

……

The sunlight sprinkled all over the earth, reflecting the blood stains on the ground, which looked particularly terrifying. It's as if you've taken people to hell, and there's a killing smell everywhere.

The wreckage of the severed arm all over the ground is still telling the cruelty of war. The polite vultures kept wandering back in the sky, but they didn't fall to grab food.

Doomed to let them down, the laborers hiding in the city have come out to clean up the battlefield at this moment.

The bones of one's own people are to be collected and buried by priests according to the traditions of the continent of Aslanth.

Dead monsters and beasts are the best meat supplements, and there is no reason to give them up, and there is no room for them to get a piece of the pie.

After counting the casualties, everyone's faces were not good-looking. Just one beast tide still caused tens of thousands of casualties, even if most of the losses were serfs, they still slapped everyone in the face.

The worst thing is the small nobles of the Blood Moon County, who have suffered heavy losses under the scourge of the beasts. Despite the firepower attracted by the Blood Moon County, five knights and one barony were breached by the herds.

The castle was all broken, not to mention the people inside. Most of the casualties were contributed by these six destroyed territories.

Hudson had no interest in ownership of these territories. It doesn't matter if there are survivors to inherit it, it doesn't matter if it's divided among others.

There is no land without population, and he has no love. What's more, it's still an enclave, and it's a waste of resources to get it.

The territory can be indisputable, but the magic crystal mine cannot be abandoned. This thing is a rare commodity, and it can be traded normally in normal times, but once it enters the war years, it is difficult to obtain.

In the entire Alpha Kingdom, a total of two large magic crystal mines, seven or eight medium-sized magic crystal mines, and dozens of tiny magic crystal veins were found on the bright side.

The Demon Crystal Mine in Blood Moon County is the third large-scale Magic Crystal Mine on the surface of the Kingdom, and it is also the only large-scale Magic Crystal Mine in the Southeast Province.

For Hudson, it was the only magic crystal mine he could reach. If you make a mistake, you don't know when you will wait until next time.

"The beast tide has ended, and the remnants of the demonic beasts have retreated to the Blackstone Mountains, and the threat has been lifted. Now let's talk about the aftermath.

In addition to resuming the construction of the Blood Moon Defense Line as soon as possible, what should be done with the several territories that have been destroyed? How to deal with the aftermath of the Magic Crystal Mine? ”

With that, Hudson set his sights on Governor Pierce. The war is over, and the discourse has shifted again.

If there were no Magic Crystal Mine, it didn't matter who would preside over the aftermath meeting. But there is no if in reality, and the Dalton family, the dominant power at this moment, must not be given up.

"Earl Hudson is right when he says that the aftermath is indeed on the agenda. Viscount Otum, don't you want to say something? ”

As soon as Governor Pierce's words landed, everyone's eyes focused on Viscount Otum. Hiding the magic crystal ore is a big crime, and now that it has been exposed, you have to shed your skin if you don't die.

"Governor, spare your life! I really don't ...... about this."

When it came to the reason in his mouth, he swallowed it back. As the owner of the Blood Moon County, they all put the county town on the mine as a cover, and to say that they didn't know that someone was secretly mining would be insulting everyone's intelligence.

Although these things were done by the ancestors. In his generation, he just continued the tradition of his ancestors, and that is to blame.

"Humph!"

"What is the crime of secretly hiding and stealing magic crystal ore, I think you know it very well. It doesn't matter if you did it or if your ancestors did it, the result is the same.

According to the rules of the kingdom, as a lord, you have reported the magic crystal mine, and the mining income will be 20% of yours, but unfortunately the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant.

Counting the construction time of the Blood Moon County City, I am afraid that you have been stealing mining veins for hundreds of years. No one can protect you from such a big thing! ”

He said it mightily, but Hudson knew that Governor Pierce had no more murderous intent.

Viscount Otum deserves to die, but the Southeastern Province does not have the right to execute a fiefdom viscount, and must report to the Council of Nobles of the Kingdom for approval.

The charges fell, and the news of the Magic Crystal Mine was exposed. When the time comes, the kingdom will take advantage of the situation to return the magic crystal mine to the central government, and everyone will not be able to get anything.

Even if you let Viscount Otum go, it will not be easy to keep the magic crystal mine. The vision ahead can be seen in a radius of dozens of miles, and the number of people who know is too much, and it is only a matter of time before the secret is leaked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I am willing to make meritorious deeds!

Meritorious service!

Earl Hudson, hold up your hand!

……”

In the blink of an eye, Viscount Otum begged all the powerful nobles present. In order to keep the family inheritance, in order to save his life, he also worked hard.
