Shi Pan Diesel is back.

The news spread quickly after Councillor Deralis Jr. was turned into a toad at the headquarters of the Black Sea Gang, and soon caused an uproar among the citizens of Simon City.

He didn't die in the Blue Flames, but he survived, and at least he still had the mana to turn the living into a toad!

Although he had ruled Simon City for less than two years, the mage still had an extraordinary place in the hearts of the citizens of Simon - it was he who saved the city from the shadow of the vampire king, and his rule was not so brutal that the citizens of Simon City did not even feel the existence of such an actual ruler in many cases.

If there weren't so many twists and turns in between, as long as the division hadn't gone so mad with magic as most of his kind that he had become a madman who acted in a disorderly manner, the citizens of Simon would have preferred that his invisible rule would have continued, after all, such a boss was much better than the 'wise kings' of other countries who were prone to tossing and turning to build a business, or those tyrants who acted in the dark, but the reality often backfired.

Now, when they learned that the division had returned to the West Gate, the first thought that rose in the hearts of most citizens was not rejoicing, but fearing.

Because they were keenly aware that the city of Simon was about to be in chaos again.

Of course, it all came from the nobles who had been banished by Penny and took advantage of his absence to fight for power.

The citizens of Simon were no longer naïve more than a thousand years ago, and of course they would not have thought that this group of nobles with a large number of troops would take the initiative to let go of the rights they had already obtained in the face of a division that had returned alone.

Citizens are returning to their homes, and vendors in the Triangle Market and the underground black market are closing their stalls - at least they don't have the guts to do business until it's over.

"He's back?" Inside Salaval's mansion, several old nobles were discussing a matter of life and death for them.

The return of Pan Diesel has put a very sensitive issue in front of them. A fight is about to take place, are they part of it, or are they watching from the sidelines?

In addition to a few big nobles, there were also a few minor nobles who participated in the meeting. They talked and chattered with each other, and fierce quarrels broke out here and there in this small meeting.

Now that the central topic of the quarrel has been decided, there is no need to listen carefully to what is being discussed.

The same was true for the few great nobles in the center, old Salaval yawned with his mouth open, visibly absent-minded about the discussion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say?" the discussion of the little nobles could not reach any consensus and result. So they focused their attention on a few of the great nobles who were silent, and the earth-shattering yawn of old Saravar made them feel that they seemed to have a fixed opinion about the problem they were having a headache with.

"What is there to say? The person who holds the Staff of the Seven Laws is the monarch of the law of the West Gate City. James Salaval Sr. patted his yawning mouth and said weakly in his old voice: "Of course we support him." ”

This answer made the small nobles below look at each other, and they almost thought that they had heard it wrong, looking at the expressions of the few big nobles in the seats who were all such a matter of course.

"Lord Salaval. Are you mistaken? How could we possibly help Mr. Diesel?"

A small nobleman questioned: "He is alone now. ”

"yes, he's alone. Old Salaval yawned again, but a mouthful of air in his throat made him cough. Fern Elista, who was sitting next to him, quickly patted him on the back, and Anthony Eldo on the other side took the old man's words: "...... But have you ever thought that Master Diesel is a powerful and sober-minded wizard, and if you dare to show your head in this dangerous time when you know that you are alone? Do you think that Mr. Diesel is a gambler?"...,

"This ......," the questioning little nobleman groaned, and finally shook his head hesitantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope your judgment is correct, but in case Mr. Diesel becomes less sober than before. What should we do?"

"That's not a problem...... Everybody. Old Salawar coughed for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his palm: "You must know that our current forces are very weak, and even if we support one side in this war, we can only do it spiritually. ”

...... Cunning old fox.

Many petty aristocrats secretly slandered. Indeed, the huge mercenary group brought by the returnees has expelled the local military forces of Ximen City, and most of the local troops that are not very large have been transferred far away, and if the battle breaks out at this time, they really can't help anything.

And in this war, as long as one side is not exactly tilted to one side, when the war is over, no matter who wins or loses, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

However, a few of the minor nobles heard the inclination of old Salaval's words, and they asked carefully: "So, Lord Salaval, do you think that you support Mistress Diesel spiritually...... Is there a better chance that he will win?"

"What do you think?" said old Salaval, who glanced at the anticipating nobles, his gray-haired head resting on the soft wicker chair, "Oh, I think you must have already made up your mind. ”

“...... Of course, we would like some people to come out and restrain their arrogance, but we still can't be sure that Lord Diesel is alone,......" said a little nobleman, a tone that betrayed the uneasiness in his heart, and it was evident from the expressions on the faces of the others nearby that they were in a similar mood - contradictory and confused.

"It's okay, we'll just have to wait and see. Old Salavar said, looking at the canopy.

Watching from the sidelines is certainly a good position, but an immediate event is destined to make his thoughts an unattainable dream.

While the aristocrats were talking about it, a group of heavily armed men rushed into the venue, and old Salaval's white eyebrows immediately tangled.

The wolf-like mercenaries drove a group of petty nobles and the merchants attached to this noble group around the hall like hungry wolves that pounced on the sheep, and a tall man patted the little white face of a young nobleman, and walked to the main seat of the conference hall with a sinister smile, and two fierce eyes stared condescendingly at the squinting old Salavare:

"Old man, I don't have time for a lunch break, Mr. Goodale has something to discuss with you. ”

"Goodall, well, I'm so old. Cough...... Cough. Old Salaval opened his eyes with a sad face, and looked at the mercenary leader with a pleading gaze: "I really don't want to participate in the bunch of in Ximen City anymore, I ...... Uh......"

He wasn't done yet. was dragged up by the mercenary by the collar, only to hear a burst of bad breath coming to his face: "Damn, old man, that evil wizard returned to Ximen City with the intention of rebuilding his reign of terror, as a member of Ximen City, you are still here to stay out of the matter." Oh...... It should be said that it is a conspiracy to cooperate with the enemy, with such an idea, with your behavior, you are also worthy of being a nobleman of Ximen City?"

"Well, whether I am worthy of being a nobleman of Simon City is not something that you, an outsider, can judge, Goodale wants to see me?" Old Salaval sighed, "Then take me to him." ”

"Take them all!" the mercenary leader waved his hand, and the nobles who were still in a meeting a moment ago were dragged down and dragged out of the venue by this group of wolf-like mercenaries. I went to the port to the east.

The base of the mercenary group is in the largest building in the port, which was originally a trading company invested by Edmund and the Wizards of the Coast Society, but now the two main directors of the company are empty. The repeated changes that happened in Ximen City also made the company a thing of the past, the plaque at the door was taken down, and the originally clean and tidy hall was occupied by a group of mercenaries. ...,

In the depths of this level, in the main conference hall of the company, the nobles 'homecomings' sat in it with a nervous expression, and Philip Goodale paced repeatedly on the carpet in the center of the room, and several returning nobles looked at him with blank eyes, as if waiting for him to make an idea.

All of you here are masters who have a deep hatred for Pan Diesel. When Penny defeated the Mask of the Night, he took care of many big families in Simon City who did not deal with Edmund, and his methods were heinous - such as arresting the heads of these families, and then using spells to turn them into idiots, and then asking for all the information about the business of these families from the mouths of these idiots, and a lot of important information was leaked. Pan Diesel thus single-handedly covered the sky in the city of Simon.

When Penny was running rampant in the city of Simon, of course, these nobles did not dare to wait for death in this place, and many of them scrambled to flee from Simon without waiting for Penny's move. The Just War' returned to Simon, but the army of light was slaughtered in the port of Simon, and His Majesty Cormier's arrogant King even had to sign his name on a humiliating contract.

This defeat ruined their dream of returning to Simon, and they honestly stopped for a while, until today......

With Butters Goodall's key role in the last operation, the leader of the Homecoming Group is still a member of the Goodale family, but with a new one - Philip Goodall, Butters's cousin, who is slightly less intelligent than the other cousins, but he acts very boldly, and under his leadership, taking advantage of the chaos in Simon City, the Homecoming Group seized the sovereignty of the city in one fell swoop.

But when the name that filled all the nobles of the homecoming regiment with fear reappeared, the bold leader began to tremble in his fingers, realizing that in his own heart the fear was so deep that he could not settle his mind until now.

Calm, calm, it's just that the wizard has returned, and the city of Simon has fallen into his hands, so what's the use of him appearing alone? Even if he has hundreds of magic, can he withstand more than a thousand mercenaries rushing up?

Just then, a mercenary brought news:

"Mr. Goodall, Mr. Salaval, they have arrived. ”

"Arrived?" Goodale said, "Bring it in!"

He hurriedly waved his hand and commanded, his expression becoming a little hideous at the moment of ordering. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
