Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Peaceful Pipe Town (Part I)

If the Ponte del Rey is likened to the southern junction of the royal city of Turin, Pipe Town is the first stop in the north - a must for any caravan heading north. In the days when the Kingdom of Turin was once full of ambition, countless banners gathered here to conquer the north, or to resist the attacks of the northern barbarians;

But now that the kingdom's enemies are either the Dominica fleet and pirates that roam the seas, or the pagans east of the Blood Cliff, the impoverished north is gradually forgotten, clinging to the mountainous terrain and a few castles, and the town of Pipes seems to be gradually declining, and like Fort Hague, which also arose from war, it has become a small place like an ordinary town.

Standing by the window of the tavern room, Cortés' eyes flickered as he looked out, the town was also of unparalleled significance to him, for he was also a true northerner, and was naturally very familiar with Pipe Town—just like all southerners, there was no one who did not know the King's Bridge.

And now, for revenge, he must drag the town into hell with his own hands...... Marco Tasker wasn't a great wizard, but he did tell him exactly how terrible this Gratoni was, and once this thing was completely unleashed, the whole of Pipe Town would be a dead city!

No, it should be hell, the hell on earth created by the hungry demons, one of the seven doomsdays that the world will eventually face, and all living beings and things that exist will be devoured.

Marco Tasker made it clear, but it was precisely because of this that Cortés could not refuse—he was in his forties, and his weather-beaten body was already sixty years old, and there was probably no second possibility of waiting any longer except to become a corpse and fall in the gutter one day.

He had to let those who had hurt him, betrayed him, and ruined himself taste the same, the despair of bones and blood, before he was completely unable to fight!

"Everyone has arrived, and the brothers are waiting for you. Kayla walked in from outside the door and said with an indifferent expression: "There are only a dozen brothers from the King's Bridge, and there is still no news. ”

"Then we won't wait for them - it's too far from there to Pipe Town, we can't afford to drag it out any longer, and the Knights of the Sacred Tree are still hunting us!" Cortez turned and smiled at Kayla reluctantly, "Thank you, Kayla. I know you've been busy with these things since last night. ”

"Boss Lady" shook her head, her eyes were still worried: "None of this is important, what matters is how we can complete this revenge plan, are you really sure?"

"If I hadn't, I wouldn't have brought everyone here!" Kayla still had a lingering worry on her forehead, "Are you worried about Marco?"

"Why should he be asked to carry out that kind of task—it's not necessary, and it's almost like death!" Now that Cortez has already made it clear, Kayla is blunt: "It's not just me, many brothers are wondering if you really shouldn't let that kid ......"

"Kid, what do you call that guy a child?" Cortez suddenly sneered, "Marco Tasker is not a child, he is a fox, a cunning and intelligent fox!"

"Think about what he's done so far, you won't think of this guy like a child, he's played almost all the gangsters in the whole city of Turin to applause, and no information can escape his eyes and ears;

"But he did help the Brotherhood and make the Blood Banner Brotherhood stronger than ever!"

"Yes, but not what the Brotherhood of Blood Banner should look like - we are the sword of vengeance, the crossbow that pierces the heart of the enemy, the chilling spear!

"Marco Tasker, this man doesn't understand why we are going for revenge, he just uses the Brotherhood as a tool for his profit, into a group of pervasive rats, so that he can get information about anyone at any time!" Cortés blushed: "The 'kid' in your eyes is a pure speculator, the more he pays for the Brotherhood, the more he desires for it!"

"The ancestral home of the family, the title of the wizard...... How can you think that he really doesn't ask for anything in return?!I've heard more than one brother talk about how he bought off the gang bosses and brought the taverns and casinos in Dongcheng into the name of the brotherhood, and he is changing our nature!"

"So...... You're going to kill him just because he doesn't think the same thing as you do?" Kayla looked sad, "Cortez, ask yourself in the presence of the Radiant Cross...... Are you really yourself?"

"I will always be me, I can give up everything for revenge, it was and still is - I could have lived a good life in the north, but I came back anyway, because I can't forget the hatred, because I am Cortez!"

As for why he had to kill that kid, he should have understood it himself. Cortez said in a deep voice: "He knows too much: the power of the Brotherhood, the arrangement of the plan, the way we act, maybe even where we are now, he knows it clearly, how can I let such a person live?"

"He was never one of us, living in carefree Turin, wandering through the restaurants and brothels of Satin Street, he never knew how fierce the northern blizzard was, he never knew why we got revenge!"

“...... Let's not talk about these things, call everyone in, we have to discuss, tonight is the first step in our revenge, it must be as perfect as possible. Seeing Kayla, who was silent, Cortez beckoned: "One qiē, you must be as successful as possible!"

.................................... "Thank you very much for sending the information so timely!" Mercer Kane smiled and took the letter from Allen's hand: "This information is really important - if it is a qiē smooth lì, it can be said that your credit is almost decisive!"

"Can I know what's in it?" Alan asked with some curiosity, but quickly waved his hand: "Uh...... If it's top-secret information, forget it!"

"It's still a secret, but I can reveal a little about Otto Kwyn's son. Grand Master Kane waved his hand unobtrusively: "This is an important piece of information about the Blood Flag Brotherhood, we have been hunting down this group for a long time - perhaps thanks to your help, we can completely destroy them tonight!"

"Really?" the girl who heard that she had helped a lot showed a slight smug smile, but immediately became worried about a certain guy: "But Edward, he ......"

"Edward, Edward Wittwood?" Kane was stunned, "What's wrong with him?"

"He's already set off ahead of time to pursue that Blood Flag Brotherhood!" Alan hurriedly said, "He's the only one, will it be dangerous?"

"He won't be alone, I'll order the Knights to be dispatched, don't worry!" Kane comforted her very understandingly, "If you don't have anything else to do now, you can go home and rest - we'll do our best to bring the good news to the Minest house!"

"Thank you. Although he still couldn't hide his worry, Alan also knew that there was only so much he could do, and the blonde young man standing at the door anxiously frowning tightly, obviously unwilling to follow - he knew much more about the contradictions between the Minest family and the Knights than Alan, and he knew how angry his grandfather, the Marquis of Hollard, would be if he did this.

Seeing that the two noble "young masters" with beautiful blonde hair of the Minest family had left one after another, Grand Master Mercer Kane beckoned behind the door, and Gaio Wallens, who had been hiding in the bedroom, walked out.

"I think you've heard it all, is there anything you want to say?"

"Gaio Valens is always waiting for your orders!" Gaiyo smiled a little, and the corners of his mouth rose high: "We can completely destroy this group of scum tonight!"

"Old Mr. Holard must be very glad that his junior can do so much of a favor to the Order, and may the Radiant Cross bless him with a great appetite tonight!"

"Hurry to the headquarters at once, gather ten knights and fifty sergeants at once, mount your fastest horses, and rush to Pipe Town at once!" said the Grand Master as he handed his ring to Gaio: "Anyone who dares to stop you, show him the ring, and let him consider what will happen if he hinders the Order's mission!"

"Marquis Holard Minest will definitely find out, is it really necessary to use so many people?" Gaio frowned slightly, "If he knew......"

"His grandson and grandson are now with me, do you think he won't know? So we have to force him to act immediately before he completely dissociates himself from this matter and covers up the evidence, and we can't give him any time to react. ”

"I want you to wipe out the Blood Banner Brotherhood once and for all, leaving not one behind—and then bring back the iron-clad evidence!"
