Philip Goodale gave the order, and then sat down at the head of the room, and his mood seemed to settle down a little with this seat, but he was still full of apprehension.

In the glass sink next to it, the toad lying on the mud occasionally made one or two weak screams, which deepened this anxiety.

Just a day earlier, the toad had been with them on a rampage about embezzling Pan Diesel's assets.

But now it has become a toad.

Fillett stared at the toad with wide eyes, and a somewhat distracted gaze began to instill in his brain the illusion that in his eyes the toad seemed to be himself, croaking loudly in the mud.

He shuddered again.

At this moment, old Salaval, Anthony Eldo, and little Elista were all brought into the office, and the horror in Fillet's heart quickly turned into ferocity, and he stared at the old Salavar who was walking in front of him with a hungry wolf's murderous gaze, and his tone was as fierce as a bloody knife: "Old man, the city of Simon is now at a critical juncture of life and death, and I need all the righteous Simon people to be on our side." ”

"Justice? Oh, there's no such thing in Westgate. Old Salawar smiled: "Philit, you should know that there are only interests in Simon City. ”

"Benefits?" Philip Goodale snorted mockingly, and then laughed: "Well said, old man, you are so right, who can give you benefits? The wizard? He will soon be defeated, how can he give you any benefits? You can only see the dawn of the city of Simon if you stand with us, ah, dawn!"

He stood up, faced the panorama of Ximen City on the office wall, opened his arms feverishly, and shouted loudly: "The sky of Ximen City is about to dawn!"

He raised his head slightly. He closed his eyes and whispered in an intoxicating voice: "It's dawn." ”

........................

"In that case, why should you be afraid? Fillet?" said old Salaval, yawning, looking at the ceiling, which was blackened by the oil lamp.

"Scared?" said Goodall, who was in a state of self-absorption. Immediately he jumped up as if he had been burned in the ass, turned around and grabbed old Salavar by the collar, and brought the white head to his eyes, and his angry snort sprayed into the old man's face like steam: "How could I be afraid? How could I be afraid? Why should I be afraid?"

He asked three rhetorical questions in succession, as if to highlight the courage in his heart, but the unhurried expression on old Salaval's face discouraged him, and after a moment of staring at each other. The discouragement made him want to go crazy, but just as he was about to be furious, old Salawar smiled: "All right, Philit......"

The old man glanced around the pale-faced 'Homecoming Group' in the audience, and no longer paid attention to Philett Goodall's expression, and sighed: "If you are not afraid, you are not afraid, I believe in your courage, so why did you bring me here? We can't help you now." Doesn't help at all. ”

Fillet Goodall, who had been recognized by Salaval for courage, let out a sigh of relief, his slightly less tense emotion letting go of Salaval, but his angry eyes were still fixed on the old man's face: "Listen. Old man, I know what you are thinking, but I tell you, don't stay out of the way, that wizard is dead, he can't survive, you must do something to show your sincerity, in order to live a good life in the future West Gate City, otherwise what we have suffered in the past will soon be your turn. ”

"Sincerity? We only have a few bodyguards left. Philitt. Little Illista interjected: "If we even give you these bodyguards, who will keep us safe?"...,

"Your safety?" Goodall gasped angrily, and he waved his hand fiercely, "If we're done playing, don't think about safety!"

He turned to the guard at the gate and said, "Go, send for all their families to be brought to the ship." ”

Ilista Jr. and Anthony Eldo both changed their faces.

This is taking all the nobles of Simon City as hostages.

Old Salawar laughed, "What's the use of that?" If you lose, pulling our family to the funeral with you can't change the situation, it's better to ......"

"Hell, I said I couldn't fail! It's that vile and shameless wizard who will lose!" Goodall roared, "Damn it, put these idiots in the basement!"

Several mercenaries took old Salawar and the others out of the room.

"This damn old man, hell, is still thinking about speculation, and if we're finished, we can't let him live. Goodale gasped twice, and angrily continued to order the mercenary: "Go and empty all their family's coffers and bring them to the ship......!" Bring here, and instruct the brothers of the corps to divide all these properties equally as long as they kill the enemy with all their might!"

In a fit of rage, Goodale didn't think about the madness and irrationality of this approach, he had now completely lost his mind, all from the fear in his heart.

Although he had a large number of mercenaries under his command, it seemed that he could not fear a division, but this still did not reduce the fear in his heart even a little.

He could only vent this fear in a crazy way, but the result of the catharsis was not good.

He sat down, his legs swinging involuntarily.

It can be seen that this deep-seated fear still haunts him.

"Goodall, let's put half of it on the ship. Another former nobleman, Dick Vamos, leader of the Homecoming Regiment, spoke tremblingly: "When we go, ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a pair of red pupils staring like mad beasts.

"Hell, you're still thinking about this fluke, if we lose this time, we're all done, there's no chance! We're all dead!" Philip Goodale roared in a thunderous rage, and immediately took a quick breath and shook his head in self-denial: "No, we're not going to lose, we're going to lose, how can we lose?" We shouldn't have that thought, idiots, that wizard is dead. ”

He repeated what he had just said to old Salaval, but the self-hypnotic dream did not give the slightest confidence to the returning nobles present. Before Pan Diesel appeared, they were on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

The toad in the sink croaked twice, its two front paws holding on to the wall of the glazed trough, and its big eye bubbles kept spinning and staring out of the sink.

The atmosphere became more and more oppressive. Like a large stone weighing thousands of pounds, pressing down on the hearts of the people, they heard each other's breathing gradually become heavy, and the fear in their hearts gradually rose, gradually making them numb physically and mentally.

A handful of nobles who were hard to numb fidgeted, and after a moment of silence, a pale nobleman lifted his trousers. He stood up tremblingly.

Fillett Goodale glared at him, and as soon as his legs went limp, he immediately fell to the ground, holding his hands on the ground and trying to get up, but after two unsuccessful attempts, Fillett's angry glare made him cry in a nervous breakdown: "I want to go to the toilet, hell!

A stench spread through the house, and Filit was furious. The guard at the door yelled, "Drag him out and throw him into the pit!"

The little nobleman breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed like a corpse, allowing the two guards to drag him away. The crotch of his pants dragged a wet trail on the floor. ...,

Philip Goodale took two heavy breaths, and the stench of the wind entered his nose, which made him even more disgusted, and the stench also made the other person who appeared in the room at some point also frown, and he waved his hand, and a light flew out of his fingers, and the wet marks on the ground quickly disappeared under the light of this light.

This action attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and Philip Goodall looked at the masked man in red and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you...... It really scared me. ”

"You're so scared, it's not good. The man in red frowned and looked at the messy office:

"Why don't you go to the boat first?"

"I ...... I ......" Philit gasped. Eyes rolling: "Can't stand up......"

"Ah, he scared you like this? There was a scorn in the red-clothed man's tone.

"You haven't seen him, you don't know how powerful this devil is, of course you're not afraid. Dick Vamos said in annoyance: "If you were ruined by him, you would be so afraid of him!"

He finished speaking, and did not hear an answer for a long time. This made everyone in the room look at the man in red suspiciously, and in their impressions, the leader of this mercenary group was not the one who would remain silent at such a time instead of sneering at him.

The sight of a pair of bloodshot angry eyes and a half-distorted face made their hearts flutter.

"You say that I didn't get my family ruined by him?!" The man in red suddenly roared frantically: "What do you know? What do you know? A group of ignorant and cowardly nobles, with your kind of goods, without my help, don't want to return to Ximen for another five hundred years!"

This sentence silenced the atmosphere again, and after a long time, Philit Goodall opened his mouth to break the silence: "Mr. Commander, so you are ready?"

"Of course, as long as that guy shows up, it's his time of death. The man in red's tone was full of confidence: "I'm fully prepared, you just have to wait and see." ”

The nobles breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were uneasy for a long time, as if they had been substantially relieved under this sentence.

I'm still scared, but I'm not scared anymore.

"How so, if it succeeds, the greatest authority in Simon City will be yours, just like that wizard, Mr. Commander, of course we know what to do. Philip Goodale said in a flattering tone.

"It's good to know. The head of the regiment in red sneered: "What I want, I can't lose a penny." ”

"Of course, of course. Philip Goodall nodded, sat for a moment, and walked to the door to ask the guard, "What about the guy who went to the bathroom? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

He ...... Uh......" The guard was about to reply, but his expression suddenly froze, and he stared at the corridor behind Goodall, as if he saw something terrible......

Wail......

A sound caught Goodall's attention, and he heard it not coming from the sink in the room, but from the corner of the hallway, and he turned his head to see one or two frogs jumping around the corner of the hallway, jumping around in no direction and croaking loudly.

Goodall's expression instantly stiffened.

"Ahh

The man in red roared excitedly, as if he was looking forward to this moment, and strode out of the room, his figure quickly disappearing around the corner of the corridor. (To be continued.)
