Chapter 1009 Fanning the Flames
The troops were withdrawn as soon as they were told. That night, all combatants evacuated the combat area and returned to the Silver City. Then they returned to Alinks and Ellington through the Silver City's teleportation array.
Tang En and the others evacuated happily, but this was a pain for the soldiers of the Solant Kingdom who had been standing outside, especially Klein in the rear. This ambitious guy almost didn't sleep well all night. I kept tossing between "attack" and "retreat" in my mind.
It wasn't until the next morning that Jean suddenly came to his senses and lifted the stone wall.
The suddenly disappearing stone wall caused a huge commotion. Almost all the Solant Kingdom soldiers on the outer defense line woke up from their sleep, and the soldiers on guard were even more stunned as they looked at the situation in the distance. They all said no in shock. The words came out.
"I, I, I'm not dazzled..."
"By the gods! Where is Lor'themar!?"
"Oh my God! Why did Lor'themar disappear!?"
"I said, why was there so much noise last night? They actually razed the city of Lor'themar to the ground!?"
"The point is - where are they!? Why have all of them disappeared!?"
"Could they all have evacuated and returned to the Silver City?!"
"Signal Corps! Quick! Send the news to His Majesty immediately!"
The Solant soldiers were in chaos and didn't know what to do. Even if Klein wanted them to die, no one came to kill them.
After receiving the news, Klein was probably the most confused.
He couldn't sleep well all night because of the thoughts in his mind, but when he woke up in the morning, he found that Lor'themar had been razed to the ground, and even the people had disappeared!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to ambush? No one even gave a shit!
Klein was relieved at first, but then he became furious: "Damn it! They must be deliberately going against me! Ever since Tang En appeared, nothing has gone smoothly!"
Okay, he blamed Tang En for this matter again, and even the fear of the City of Silver and the Dragon Legion last night disappeared.
Isn't that what people are like? When nothing happens, nothing matters. Once something really happens, they start to feel confused again. Klein is the most typical example.
Klein had to issue an order to withdraw the troops after his plan failed. The Solant army, which had been full of complaints, was collectively relieved and immediately began to organize the withdrawal without saying a word.
For them, not having to fight against the Silver City and the Dragon Legion, and not having to die, is of course the best outcome.
Although the king's order must be carried out, everyone has a brain. Who would think of dying when they have nothing to do, right?
What's more, the enemy is still impossible to win.
only……
"I didn't expect them to raze Lor'themar to the ground!"
On the retreating carriage, Klein looked very bad. Although he knew that the other party was very powerful, he had not seen it with his own eyes, so the impact was always missing. The two sides were not officially enemies, so he would not have anything. Feeling of fear.
At this moment, he only felt that the City of Silver was slapping him in the face!
Lor'themar is the inherent territory of the Solant Kingdom. Now, they came here and leveled the city without saying a word. What if they didn't slap him in the face?
The king, who was completely blinded by his ambition, even completely forgot that it was his inaction that led to the tragedy of Lor'themar, the reason why the Silver City had to mobilize in such a massive way, and what led to the huge disaster. The dragon army all appeared here.
This incident was a mistake made by Rodriguez, and it was also a mistake made by Klein.
But now, what makes Klein even more uncomfortable is that after the Silver City arrived here, it seemed that it had no intention of leaving anymore. It just floated in the sky with no intention of moving at all.
What does Gene want to do?
Klein is not Ronitante's Oscar. Even the City of Silver can find ways to get on the line to make money. The City of Silver hangs in the sky. Klein only feels like a sharp sword hanging above his head, ready to bring him with him at any time. Come a huge threat.
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. It is precisely because of his previous thoughts that Klein is so worried about the Silver City. Otherwise, he may only be excited that the country has a strong backing.
Just like Oscar who has now heard the news - knowing that the Silver City has left the Ronitante Kingdom, this guy was immediately confused.
Why?
Because there are still a lot of supplies expected to be supplied to the City of Silver that have not yet been sent!
Now it's all in your hands!
With such a big financial backer and client running away, there was no place for him to cry!
After Tang En returned, he immediately found Karl, the newspaper director, and gave him some instructions. All branches of Datang Daily immediately started operating at full capacity...
Later, Tang En found Serna and wanted to use her influence in the Thieves Guild to further spread the news about Lor'themar in the Kingdom of Solant.
The Daxus and others who were recruited at the beginning can be used as an entry point. They can pass the news through them, allowing the Thieves Guild to fan the flames secretly and build momentum for Tang En's subsequent actions.
As for whether the news would leak out from the Thieves Guild, Tang En didn't believe it.
First of all, those guys are all greedy for money, and as for Tang En, the thing he is most indispensable for now is probably money. To put it bluntly, when the money printing machine is turned on, the banknotes will rush out ( Of course he won't do that.), which is basically equivalent to using nothing.
As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
Secondly, and most importantly, Serna Kohler is as famous as the founder of the Thieves Guild. When she appears, what else do the guys in the Thieves Guild dare to say? You must be honest, how dare you act cunning in front of the thief ancestor?
So Tang En was very relieved.
In a tavern in Alcanretia, a guy with oily hair and a pink face patted the shoulder of the person next to him, and said with a smile: "Hey! Laika, there is news that you are interested in knowing? Buy me a drink and I will Tell you."
The businessman named Laika looked suspicious: "Rather? What good news can you have? Are you trying to trick me into drinking again?"
The speaker was none other than Rather, who was saved by Tang En: "Absolutely not! I guarantee this news is very important to you! Didn't you always go to Lorthemar before? Huh?"
Laika's eyes lit up, and he took out a few copper coins and slapped them on the table: "Give him a glass of ale! Get the cheapest one!"
Just as the bartender was about to put away the copper coins, Rather said: "No, I want the best ale, and it can't be mixed with water."
The bartender glanced at the copper coins and said calmly: "This little money is only enough to drink the cheapest."
Lasse looked at Laika with a smile. Laika complained as he took out a few more copper coins and threw them over: "Damn it! Lasse, if you don't have any good news, I will make you regret it!"
"Don't worry, this news is absolutely exciting."
"That's what you said!"
"Don't worry, I'll moisten my throat when the ale comes."
Lasse didn't say anything no matter how much Laika urged him, and waited until the bartender came over after filling the ale. After he took a sip, he complained: "Damn it! The wine you sold me before was indeed watered down!"
The bartender ignored him completely.
Laika urged: "Say it quickly!"
Lasse said mysteriously: "Have you heard? The city of Lor'themar has disappeared!"
"What!?"
Laika was really shocked: "How is this possible! I plan to go and have a look later! If the blockade is lifted, I plan to go in and ask for the account!"
"The blockade has been lifted, but didn't you know? Lor'themar was razed to the ground by the Silver City!"
"Why!? How dare the City of Silver do this!?"
"You still don't know the truth about the blockade, do you?"
Although Genn asked Klein to disclose information about Lor'themar, Klein did not do so, so the truth about Lor'themar's blockade remains a mystery.
"you know?"
"What do you think?"
Lasse whispered: "Don't forget, I used to live in Lor'themar. I know best what happened there."
"Stop being so pretentious! You'll be criticized for your poor word count!"
"Okay, okay, let me tell you frankly, the reason why Lor'themar is blocked is because it has been completely corrupted by the Chaos Cult!"
Laika exclaimed: "Fuck——"
Russell covered his mouth: "Are you crazy!"
"hiss--"
Laika took a deep breath and was extremely shocked: "The Chaos Cult corrupted the city of Lor'themar!? How is this possible!?"
"But it's true!"
Lasse whispered: "It is precisely because the Chaos Cult has made a big fuss this time and all of Lor'themar has been saved. That's why Klein ordered Lor'themar to be sealed to prevent others from entering Lor'themar." Mal.”
"However, corruption cannot happen overnight, but is a long process. How could His Majesty Klein not notice it!?"
"This is where His Majesty Klein failed in his duties. He may not know, or he may know, but don't you think it's excusable that he doesn't know? If he knows and remains indifferent, it would be even more terrifying."
Laika thought in her mind and her face became even more ugly.
As Russell said, if Klein knew this situation and remained indifferent and allowed the Chaos Cult to continue to spread, this would be the most terrifying thing.
With such a king, how could the Solant Kingdom have a future!
"It was because the situation was completely out of control. After this information was learned by the City of Silver, Master Jean moved the City of Silver to the sky above Lor'themar. All the mages of the City of Silver, including the Knights Templar, were dispatched. Got it!"
"It is said that the situation this time is so dangerous that even the dragons were alarmed. The huge movement in the northeast last night was caused by the dragons."
"It is said that the dragons discovered that the corruption of Lor'themar was particularly serious, so they took action and razed the entire Lor'themar to the ground! Now there is no grass growing there, and it has completely turned into a wasteland."
"This this……"
Lasse drank the ale in one breath, patted his shoulder again, and whispered: "I only told you this news, you must not tell anyone else!"
After Russell finished speaking, he patted his butt and left.
He walked away easily, but Laika was at a loss, her face turning blue and purple.
Whether the account is returned is secondary. The key is that an important trade route in his hands is in Lor'themar. The blockade originally made him miserable all day long, but now it's better, Lor'themar is gone...
After being restless for a moment, Laika suddenly rushed up as if his butt was on fire. After paying the bill, he rushed out.
Lasse, who was hiding in the dark, smiled slightly when he saw this, took out his magic phone and dialed Daxus' number, and whispered: "It's done."
