638. Dispose of White Tree City
Hearing Rand's new explanation, Andrew was suddenly unsure, according to Rand's statement, he was deposed by Denverson for betraying the principles of knights and lords, and Denverson attacked Arvinny in a frenzy after learning about it, regardless of whether Ochimaru colluded with him or not, his knight viscount couldn't do it.
However, Rant's cunning lies in the fact that in this way, the initiative of the whole incident is completely controlled by him: White Tree City is west of Night Qi City, which is under his control; Both Arvinne and Grua were sent by him;
Denverson, he was exempted, even the legend can be said to be called by him, from Rand's point of view, there is no contradiction between the imperial capital and Dragon's Tooth City, because the two factions present are his people, except Andrew.
"Count Rand is indeed a foresight," realizing that he was a little passive, Andrew decided to say something to save the situation, "So Count Rand is preparing to bring White Tree City under the jurisdiction of the Galloping Knights?" ”
Lan Te shook his head and said indifferently: "Of course not, the galloping knights and cavalry in the city will move within a week, the Maned Wolf Knights will be stationed in White Tree City, and the Lan Yuan and the White Owl will also send a team of knights each." ”
Long before meeting Arvinne and Andrew, Rand had already coordinated with Count Maned Wolf, Prime Minister Richelieu Landarin, and King Dusen White Owl.
"The maned wolf, the white owl and the orchid duck are not stationed here for free, there are more than 70,000 gold coins in the White Tree City Lord's Palace, and I also bought a piece of land in the southwest of the city, and also paid 3,000 gold coins, which will be used as the city's public funds."
"You...... Don't take the money of the White Tree family away? Yavini was a little shocked.
Rand stood up and looked at the night view of the city behind him, as if everything he did was for the city, "This money belongs to White Tree City, not mine, and I, as a war marquis, will only requisition local war horses and some knights." ”
"You want to give my city to the old maned wolf?" When Denverson heard this, he couldn't accept it, "When he was the strongest, he was just a silver knight, and now I am a sky knight, why did you give him my city!" ”
Hearing that Denverson dared to protest, Yavini was already furious: "It's up to you to dare to collude with Ochimaru!" ”
"Arvinne Golden Moon, your Imperial Capital Knights have seized a Field Viscount, a Sky Knight, without any evidence, and the Ochimaru Wyvern has made waves in the city, killed my eldest son, and destroyed my castle, I ......" Denverson began to quibble as soon as he heard the elf's words.
For him, the best situation now is that it has nothing to do with Ochimaru, after all, that madman killed his eldest son, if the lawsuit reaches the kingdom council, it may attract the sympathy of many nobles, and Yawenni is indeed eyeing White Tree City, which will cause tension among the local nobles and the royal family.
"Denverson White Tree!" Rand called out the name of the Sky Knight, "You have connived at the Magister of the Wyvern Family, using the magic furnace in White Tree City to provide magic power to the slave camp and the magic tower, and nourishing the multi-headed dragon Polu Carloz, and I have reported this matter to the Kingdom Council."
Princess Harkala Oak represents the royal family, and Lord Revendia represents Red Dragon Rock has arrived in Whitetree City, admiring the magic vines you and Ochimaru have cultivated together.
I advise you to save some effort now, and if you have time to quibble with us here, it is better to think about how to explain to a few national pillars, of course, I think you should be more worried about whether Your Excellency Revendia can let you go to the royal capital alive......"
The Gruena siblings were relieved to hear that their father was coming, they didn't have to deal with the elves.
On the contrary, the faces of the two elves were not very good-looking, especially Yawenni, she knew that the ancestor of Halkala was too old, but she was not interested in fighting for power and profit, and it was impossible to help them fight for control of White Tree City.
"Raven......" Denverson really didn't dare to speak now, he didn't expect Rand to be able to find his underground plantation along the magic furnace, let alone that this matter would make a demigod run over.
By Denversson's side, Zato Blue Lion has been staring at the conversation of several people, and rarely speaks, because his crime is not very serious, and he attacked a team of unknown origin before dawn, even if it was really the Imperial Capital Knights, it didn't matter, and now that he was arrested, the so-called crime was just to make the family lose some money, and he didn't want to withdraw from the relationship with Denverson who colluded with monsters.
When Denverson spoke, Zato slowly spoke: "Captain Andrew, Mentor Gutoff, I have a situation to tell you!" ”
Seeing that the eyes of several people met on him, Zato said unhurriedly: "In the early morning, we received news that a bandit gang in the forest was approaching an oversized slave camp, and when I rushed over with people, I met Captain Yawenni......"
"What are you trying to express?" Arvini frowned, she knew Zato must have no good words in her mouth.
"I don't think Captain Arvini happened to be there, but she led a group of knights from the Galloping Horse Family to run the slave trade in Whitetree City!"
"You ......" Yawenni's eyes were on fire, now most of the slaves in the city have been bought by Rand, and most of the slaves who escaped have been taken in by Rand, so it seems that Rand is indeed the largest slave owner in White Tree City.
As soon as the slave owners sold their slaves, they reported Rand, and this calculation was really loud!
Rand, who was about to go out, looked at the Blue Lion Family Magister with a playful expression: "Oh? So, Master Zato, you saw me selling slaves? ”
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I know that there is your Galloping Horse family's slave camp nearby, and there are at least tens of thousands of slaves in it!"
Rand turned his head to look at Andrew: "Commander Andrew, as the marquis of war appointed by His Majesty, I must not allow anything illegal in the territory under my jurisdiction, please immediately send the Wyvern Knight to inspect the southeast, if you really find any slave camp, you can immediately seal it up and detain the demon supporters in it, if there are really people from Yeqi City and the Galloping Horse tribe who dare to buy and sell slaves......"
Rand's eyes stared straight at Andrew, looking extremely firm and serious: "I will not tolerate it!" ”
With that, he left the meditation room without looking back, leaving behind the somewhat puzzled Magisters.
"What's the situation?" Yavini glanced at her cousin and mouth-shaped.
Andrew nodded, since Rand dared to boast about Haikou, it means that he is confident that he can't show his feet, so he simply said: "In that case, then check it according to the Marquis's requirements!" ”
Sure enough, after dawn, the 5-dragon formation of the Flying Dragon Knights set off again, and it didn't take long to arrive at the camp where Yawenni was the day before, and the camp was no longer populated at this moment, not only that, but they didn't see any large-scale movement on the way to the camp.
The captain of the patrol naturally knew that there were tens of thousands of slaves in this camp yesterday, and now that these people had almost disappeared, he was also amazed. However, what he didn't know was that since they left yesterday, Rand had asked everyone in the camp to move quickly to the northeast, and 10 kilometers away by the river, there were hundreds of grain ships passing through this place and heading to Night Qi City.
Under the joint coordination of Mr. White Wolf and Mr. Antlers, each of these ships only loaded most of the grain in the cabin, and the rest of the space was for the slaves to live in, and the grain slaves in the cabin could also eat, and the original 200 ships of grain needed nearly 300 ships to transport it all, and transported a small half of the slaves.
The remaining slaves were led by Imola to build a camp on the spot, and for the next month, all southern grain ships would pass through the area, and the grain on board would be used to supply the slaves and the empty cabins would be used to transport them.
Since the camp was located in the forest, it was almost indistinguishable from the tribe of the lizards, and when the Wyvern patrol passed by, they only thought that they were a slightly larger tribe or bandit, and they would not think of Rand at all.
