Chapter 203 Discussion

That night.

In addition to Yerrit, many people in Xiangmu City did not sleep well.

The sudden explosion in the northwest suburbs disturbed many people's dreams, but fortunately it was just this one explosion.

And the flames that shot up into the sky made many people wonder if the arsenal was attacked, because the Xiangmu City Legion had a warehouse for storing shells in that direction.

There were many people in Xiangmu City who were not afraid of death, and there were several waves of people or forces who ran to check the situation quietly under the cover of night.

Underground organizations, exiles, mercenaries, nobles...

But they were all stopped, led by Brigadier General Fabio, the chief of the cavalry regiment of the Xiangmu City Legion.

Some people saw that Brigadier General Fabio looked very bad, pale, and looked a little miserable in the night.

Others saw that Brigadier General Fabio was always followed by two knights in strange black armor.

Of course, most people's eyes were focused on the carts of horses full of goods, because people with good eyesight found that they were filled with gold coins, gems, top-grade spices...

Jealousy, greed, and desire.

But no one dared to move. The two blocks near the explosion were blocked by soldiers and knights.

They dared not break in by force. Although money was tempting, they had to live to spend it.

The most powerful and unreasonable force in the whole Xiangmu City was the Xiangmu City Legion. In this chaotic place, offending the army was a dead end.

The next morning.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky was blue with scattered white clouds floating.

Curiosity drove more people to the explosion point.

There were clusters of flowers planted on a piece of grass outside the Savoy Manor, with some red and white roses everywhere, and blue tassel lilies, swaying slightly in the wind.

On the grass, between the large flowers, there were dark red, solidified blood clots everywhere, and the bloody smell mixed with the rose fragrance, drifting far away with the breeze.

"When did the Savoy family offend the army, and they were killed by them like this?" Lieben said angrily.

He lived not far from here. After being awakened in the middle of the night, he quietly observed the army's activities nearby. He didn't dare to come out to check, but he ran here immediately at dawn.

"How dare they! Do they think no one will find out when it's dark and windy?"

"How do you know it was done by the army? Maybe it was bandits who roamed here."

"It was the army! I saw it with my own eyes yesterday!"

"I saw it too. I was drunk last night and accidentally slept on the street. I was awakened by the explosion and saw the army transporting gold coins from the manor in carriages!"

The speaker's fat face was still drunk, and the strong smell of alcohol in his mouth made his words very credible.

"These people are so heartless and have no human nature!"

"Too cruel, they didn't even let a chicken go."

"So cruel!"

"I will write to His Majesty to report the Xiangmu City Legion. They are not only corrupt, but also do many evil things, killing and setting fire to the imperial nobles. They are simply the biggest cancer in Xiangmu City!"

The warden Negher, who arrived late, was indignant and excited after seeing the tragic scene of Savoy Manor.

As a representative of officials who have been bullied for a long time, Negher has been dissatisfied with the army for a long time, but he has never found a good opportunity. Now he has finally been caught.

"Everyone, don't leave yet. Write down everything you saw last night. These are all evidence."

"Everyone has a responsibility to fight against evil forces!"

"For the harmony and beauty of Xiangmu City, everyone..."

Negher was talking excitedly, and suddenly found that there was no movement behind him. Something was wrong. He turned his head and found that there was no one, even his subordinates were gone.

Looking at the drunk who quickly disappeared into the corner, he opened his mouth, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

…

South of the city.

The villa of Lieutenant General Frey, the commander of the Xiangmu City Legion.

In the towering and empty hall, the curtains were hung high, and the base of the ceiling lamp was inlaid with colorful crystals.

A tall short-haired man sat on a sofa with dark red patterns, expressionless.

The short-haired man wore a black waistcoat, and his muscles were hideous all over his body. The shiny white muscles exposed on his arms were like metal, with a hard and terrifying color.

There were also several people sitting on the sofas on both sides in front of the short-haired man, with some mockery and anger on their faces.

"You said that you led my army to help the Soros family move gold coins for most of the night?" The short-haired man spoke slowly, his tone was extremely flat and emotionless.

Ephisis and Fabio stood on the white floor between the sofas. Facing the question of Lieutenant General Frey, the commander of the legion, they looked at each other in silence, and finally nodded honestly.

"Ephisis, you are not lying, are you trying to take the Bach family's property for yourself? Where did the Soros family get the totem warriors, and they are all knights, and there are as many as four!?"

A slightly sarcastic tone sounded from the side, and the speaker was a handsome man with long golden hair.

He was only about twenty years old, with rare purple eyes, a slim white warrior uniform, and only a silver leather sheath on his right hand.

"Diego, use your brain before you speak, don't talk nonsense, be careful I will sue you for defamation." Ephisis did not turn his head back, and counterattacked with great disdain.

Diego laughed and stopped talking. He also knew it was impossible, but he just wanted to disgust Ephisis.

"Fabio, you said you saw at least five knights from the Soros family, not including Ent?"

"Yes, two of them were with me the whole time." Fabio glanced at Lieutenant General Fry and replied helplessly.

He and Ephisis were on duty last night.

After Ephisis left, he received a report from the patrol soldiers on Ximan Street near Savoy Manor, and then immediately rushed to Savoy Manor with a battalion of soldiers.

Finally, he worked as a porter under the supervision of two black-armored knights from the Soros family.

During this period, he wanted to strike more than once, but he felt the terrible oppression of the black-armored knights at close range, so he had to honestly carry the goods and did not come back until the second half of the night.

Lieutenant General Fry touched his short hair, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"So you have five black-armored knights, plus the one-eyed Ent, which is six knights."

He looked at Ephisis again, "And you met four knight-level totem warriors in the Bach family's manor, plus Rudy and Flit, which is also six knights."

"Adding Sauron, that means there are now a total of thirteen knight-level warriors in the Soros family in Xiangmu City?"

"Thirteen..."

Since coming here, Diego has been immersed in the joy of being a porter in Ephisis, and has not listened carefully. When he heard Lieutenant General Fry's words, he took a breath.

The hall was suddenly silent.

"I don't believe it, did you see it wrong?!" Anjiade asked in disbelief.

Thirteen knight-level warriors, even the family knights of ordinary dukes' families do not have so many.

There are only twelve duke families in the huge Crescent Empire, not counting the royal family. The top five families can suppress the Soros family.

"I was stabbed and my intestines were almost picked out. Tell me I saw it wrong!?"

Ephisis was anxious when he heard Anjiade's words. He unbuttoned his shirt on the spot and showed his belly.

Everyone looked over.

On the white belly covered with black hair, a black line with thin black scabs evenly divided his chest into two halves. The black line was very straight, as if it was drawn with a ruler.

Diego took a breath again, partly because of the shock of the wound, and more because of Ephisis's lush chest hair.

"Okay, no more quarreling."

Lieutenant General Fry suddenly spoke loudly, "Whether this is true or not, you will know it after going to Soros Manor."

If it is false.

That would be a good opportunity to wipe out the Soros family in one fell swoop, take all the property of the Soros family, including the Bach and Savoy families, and then take Solon to the capital for trial.

If it's true...

His face became a little solemn.

Not long ago, he sent Ephisis to Soros Manor to ask Ente for their spice processing factory shares.

If it's true, then with the Soros family's style of doing things, it's estimated that they will settle accounts with him soon.

Facing thirteen knights, unless he hides in the barracks for his whole life, he can't expect to see the sun outside alive.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Fry's face was not only solemn, but also ugly, and he even felt uneasy in his heart, hesitating whether to go to Soros Manor to test the truth.

Because what Ephisis and the others said was as true as it could be.

For a while, he didn't know what to do.
