Chapter 535: Target, Legion Leader
Lieutenant General Gatling, commander of the Cedar Corps, was eating in the restaurant on the second floor of the Golden Rose Hotel.
In a small and spacious private room, sitting next to Lieutenant General Gertlin was Miss Merlin, the only daughter of the current mayor of Dunerke. At the age of forty-eight, the lieutenant general at the peak of his cultivation is in the prime of life, and the sixteen-year-old Miss Mei Lin is even more youthful and beautiful. The gentlemen and ladies of the upper class of Duner carved it and said that this was a couple!
Of course, Lieutenant General Gottling had already married his own son in the imperial capital, and his wife was the beloved daughter of an earl. But what does it matter? The imperial capital is the imperial capital, and this is Dunerke. Everyone said that His Excellency Lieutenant General and Miss Merlin were a pair of sondamas, so they were a couple.
As for the yellow-faced woman in the imperial capital, when Lieutenant General Gottling was still an ordinary school officer, her words still carried a lot of weight. But when Lieutenant General Gottling became the lieutenant general of the empire, commanding an elite army of 100,000 men, and even more on Arthur's big thick legs, the yellow-faced woman could still retain the name of the lieutenant general's wife if she was interested.
If she's not interested...... Isn't it obvious that Lieutenant General Gottling would choose the younger and more beautiful Miss Merlene?
Tasting the mellow wine, the veal steak cooked in truffle sauce in front of me is even more fragrant. The Golden Rose Hotel is worthy of being a first-class golden nest in Dunerke, the top steaks here are all small steers from the elf continent from the ocean, and they have been fed with the seeds of the 'Xiangluo tree' of the elf continent since childhood, so the meat is particularly delicious, and there is a natural and fresh breath, which can delay aging and strengthen the body when taken all year round.
Such a veal steak costs 10,000 gold coins per unit, and it's not something you can eat if you have money. For example, in the luxury suite on the top floor, he didn't get to enjoy this kind of veal steak - he didn't even know that the Golden Rose Hotel also offered such a top-notch luxury.
But Lieutenant General Gottling ...... All of his expenses at the Golden Rose Hotel were free, and he even received a large sum of gold coins from Kim every year. Because Kim's Golden Rose Firm was protected by Lieutenant General Gatling, and it was with the strong support of the Cedar Legion that the Golden Rose Firm's hotels, taverns, and clubs could blossom everywhere and earn huge profits for Kim.
At the same time, they were all Arthur's subordinates.
Götling is a sharp knife in Arthur's hand, and Kim is Arthur's money bag! So the relationship between the two is so good that they wear a pair of pants, and Lieutenant General Götling does not need to pay a copper for any enjoyment at the Golden Rose Hotel.
Sitting opposite Lieutenant General Gottling at the moment was Jin, whose face was full of red light, and he proudly held a glass of fine wine, intoxicated and sniffed the fruity aroma of the wine slowly evaporating from the heat of his palm. His smile was so bright that Gottling could tell at a glance that something good must have happened to King.
"Hey, Kim, we're old friends!" Gottling put down his knife and fork, put his right hand under the tablecloth, and gently stroked Miss Merlin's lower abdomen, gently rubbing her sensitive area a few times from time to time. He looked at Kim with a smile, and he knew that once Kim showed such a bright smile, it meant that something good must have happened to him. So Gottling was curious, if Kim really came across a good way to make money, he wouldn't mind getting involved himself, who would mind having a lot of money?
Kim shrugged his shoulders and smiled brightly, "Oh, no, it's different from what you think. The Golden Rose Hotel, in the past two days, has been inhabited by an upstart, a nobleman from the Vyas Merchant Federation! I don't know if he is a real nobleman, you know, a nobleman from the Vyas Merchant Federation...... Haha, that's a joke!"
Shrugging his shoulders and easily drinking the wine in his glass, Jin said with a bright smile: "But I know that he is very rich, and this bastard has spent millions of gold coins on the maids on the top floor! He gave all the eighteen top maids on the top floor to ......."
With a rude gesture, both Kim and Gottling burst out laughing. Merlin blushed and gently pinched Götling's arm, and Götlin laughed, put her arms around Merlin's small waist, and kissed her the cheek.
"It's funny, spending millions of gold coins for some maids!" Gottling raised his eyebrows, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes: "So, this guy has never seen a woman before?
Jin raised his eyebrows, he glanced at Götling thoughtfully, and slowly poured himself a glass of wine: "I heard that the security in the vicinity of Dunerke has not been very good recently? There is a group of bandits who often haunt the black pine forest?
Götling smiled, rubbed his hands vigorously, and said contentedly, "Then, when this lovely noble son leaves, Kim, you must inform me in time." Spend millions of gold coins on those maids! The gods are above, this kind of loser, I should teach him a good lesson for his parents!"
Kim squinted and laughed, and Merlin giggled. Kim knew that if Götling succeeded, he would also get a big reward. Merlene's smile was because, as long as Gottling had any extra income, there would be a few more beautiful and expensive jewels in her jewelry box, and what could attract a sixteen-year-old aristocratic girl more than sparkling jewels?
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Gottling's adjutant walked in with a panicked face.
"General, something seems wrong, the soldiers clashed with that group of bastards in the navy, and it seems that there are still dead people!"
Gottling's lieutenant didn't get the exact information first-hand, he just recounted the information he had just gotten.
Gottling's face changed suddenly, he stood up angrily, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Those bastards of the Northern Fleet, are they deliberately trying to embarrass me? I have told them many times that we will let our people come out for recreation at the beginning of each month in the future, and let their people come out at the end of the month. But they have to fight us, these bitches, sooner or later they will turn into sea monster dung. ”
Hammering the table hard, Gottling grabbed a bottle of liquor and poured it down, then kissed Merlin's little mouth hard, and said affectionately in her ear: "Wait for me in our own room, wash yourself! I like the violet-toned perfume you used last time, you can sprinkle a little more on the mattress, well, remember to wear a silk corset, I like it!"
Merlin groaned softly, and her small, weak, boneless hand lightly grabbed Gurtling's body.
Gottling laughed loudly, grabbed his sabre, and strode out of the private room: "Gather the five thousand hoplites guarding the battalion and prepare for them to fight. Well, open the armory and mobilize a group of soldiers who are on vacation to go back and arm themselves. I'm going to make those navy bastards pay the price this time, I swear!"
Before he reached the door of the private room, a lieutenant colonel officer with a sharp face rushed in, his face was pale, and a large amount of cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead: "General, Colonel Bert has been assassinated! He and his people have been killed, this is the murder weapon that killed them!"
A snaketooth dagger with a sharkskin wrapped around the handle was handed to Lieutenant General Gatling.
Kim shouted from the sidelines, "This is the favorite self-defense weapon of those sailors...... Damn, what are you talking about? Colonel Bert?"
Kim's temples ached, Colonel Bert, the judge advocate advocate of the Cedar Corps, such a powerful figure was assassinated? What the hell is going on? Even if those navy sailors were drunk, they wouldn't have made such a stupid mistake, right?
Gutling's body shook suddenly, Rao is cultivation of his fighting spirit at the peak of the heavens, and his eyes couldn't help but go black, and he almost didn't fall to the ground. It is not uncommon for a few soldiers to die and injure a few soldiers in drunken brawls, and the number of soldiers who die unnaturally in the Cedar Legion every year will never be less than five hundred. It's just that some soldiers are killed or wounded, and this little thing can easily cover up the past.
But Bert was dead! Gurtling's pores suddenly opened, and slimy, hot sweat spurted out. Hell, Colonel Bert is Götling's hardcore henchman, and he is the greatest help in controlling the Cedar Legion. Moreover, Bert's family is extremely powerful in the military department, and Götling also relies on the support of Bert's family to cover up the sky and do mischief in the Cedar Legion.
God knows what Bert's family would have thought if they found out the news.
"Who did that?" said Götling's voice, and he felt the urge to lead his troops to completely raze the command of the Imperial Northern Fleet.
"No, I don't know!" the lieutenant colonel looked at Gutling with a sad face, and then his body flew high, and Gutling kicked him out with a kick, breaking seven or eight ribs and spurting a mouthful of blood several meters away.
"Rubbish!" Gottling scolded angrily, he quickly hung his sword on his waist, and howled hoarsely: "Gather all the soldiers, let all the rabbit cubs who are making noise return to the formation, mobilize the five thousand soldiers in the camp, and give me the command of the North Sea Fleet, they must give me an explanation!"
Before Götling could finish his sentence, he heard a loud bang, and one of the walls of the dining room was suddenly shattered by seven or eight heavy axes.
The smoke and dust rushed into the sky, and several tall warriors with red eyes rushed in, and then countless figures rushed in chaotically. A sometimes shrill and sometimes rough voice yelled: "The man who killed Director Gadda is here, I see it, I see it! Kill them, kill them! Revenge for Colonel Bert, avenge Colonel Gada!"
Gottling froze, and Gadda died?
Gadda is Gottling's biggest helper in embezzling military funds, and Gottling can enjoy a luxurious life so nourished, and Gadda is the biggest hero.
Gadda was actually killed, and what did these bastards do they want to do here?
Before Götling could figure out what was happening in front of him, a large knife whistled down and cut Götling's lieutenant at the waist.
Merlin howled hoarsely, and Gottling was shocked, pushed Merlin away, and strode back into the private room.
