Chapter 336

It was already dark. In the warehouse area of ​​the West Port dock area, Viscount Dylan was still leading a group of officials to supervise the transportation of supplies.

Two days ago, he had just entertained another fleet from the Northwest Bay - the fleet of Queke arrived last month. The captain of the fleet yesterday was a captain named Tirpitz.

The fleet of the Northwest Bay once again transported a large number of supplies. Since the second half of 1991, the Northwest Bay has delivered goods to the West Port almost once a month.

It was already December, and the city had just experienced a light snow. In a small house, the Viscount and several officials were roasting by the fire while watching the coolies outside loading the supplies in the warehouse onto the carriage through the window.

After entering winter, the stalemate between the Kingdom Army and the rebels continued. The front line was pressing the supplies from the rear more and more urgently. Now both sides were fighting hard, and it depended on who would give up first.

Viscount Dylan has been busy these two days. After finally getting a convoy together, he pulled it to the dock area to load supplies overnight and prepare to set out for transportation early tomorrow morning.

The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, making the cabin warm. There was a pot on the fire, in which canned meat from the Northwest Bay was cooked. The viscount and a group of officials had supper, drank wine, and discussed various things that had happened in the city recently. Gradually, the topic was led to the terrorist incident that occurred in the port the day before yesterday - the assassination of Admiral Pike. The reason why it is called a terrorist incident is that its process is really beyond people's imagination.

The annual Advent Day is approaching. General Pike held a banquet at home and invited many friends in the army. He planned to get drunk, but during the banquet, an accident happened.

The specific process of the incident was blocked by the official, but because there were many people present, many news leaked out and became more and more weird throughout Xigang. There are all kinds of rumors, and some even say that it was caused by witchcraft.

An officer sitting next to Dylan said mysteriously: "My brother-in-law was a guard in General Pike's mansion and witnessed the whole process. Do you want to know?"

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

The curiosity of the crowd obviously overwhelmed the order to block the news. Even Dylan, who had the highest status here, acquiesced to let the other party continue.

Looking at the curious and eager eyes of his colleagues, the officer took a satisfied breath and whispered about what happened that day. Of course, no one knew whether it was exaggerated.

That night, when the wine was half drunk and the banquet was at its climax, two servants carried a roasted whole cow into the hall. This was the main course of the banquet. The general and the guests came with plates in their hands to share the meat.

Just as everyone gathered around, a servant who was carrying the cow suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, and then shouted to General Pike: "General, Captain Edward asked me to say hello to you."

When everyone was confused, the servant suddenly picked up a knife for cutting meat and stabbed it into Pike's chest at lightning speed.

The guests around were stunned by the sudden assassination and did not react at once. The guards standing at the side of the hall reacted quickly, drew their weapons and rushed over.

But before the guards got close, the servant suddenly raised his hands and shouted: "My lords, Captain Edward also asked me to say hello to you."

Then an even more bizarre scene appeared. The servant's whole body suddenly swelled up, and soon it swelled up like a big meatball.

Everyone seemed to have a premonition that something bad would happen next, and tried to stay away from him in fear.

There was a loud bang, and the "meatball" that had swelled beyond recognition suddenly burst open.

At this point, the officer who was narrating the incident showed a horrified expression on his face, as if he was an eyewitness to the incident.

He described it in a creepy tone: "The explosion was so violent that my brother-in-law was still some distance away from the other party, but he could also feel the huge impact, as if an invisible hand pushed him hard, and the whole person flew backwards."

"Woo~" As the officer narrated, the timid people trembled and drank heavily to calm their nerves.

"He was dazed at first, with stars in his eyes and only heard a humming sound in his ears. I don't know how long it took him to wake up. When he got up, he saw that the surroundings had become a mess."

"Only the guards who had not rushed over and the guests who were far away were still standing in the hall. My brother-in-law was considered good, with only a dislocated arm. The closer to the weird servant, the worse the situation. But the most frightening thing is-"

"The whole hall was scattered with human body parts and disgusting flesh and blood, a scene of hell. Many surviving women were directly scared crazy and screamed in fear."

"After the cleaning and investigation, the servant's body could not be pieced together. It was estimated that it turned into minced meat due to the self-explosion."

After the officer finished speaking, everyone swallowed their saliva in fear. Dylan almost vomited the canned meat he had just eaten. The scene described by his subordinates was too shocking.

"So, the rumors of witchcraft in the city are true?"

"It seems to be true. It's impossible to do it with normal means, right?"

"My friend in the navy said that they are in chaos. Because of this assassination, almost all the senior navy officers stationed in Xigang were wiped out. Those who are still alive can only lie in bed now."

When everyone was talking, someone suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Huh? Is there a fire over there?"

Others also looked out the window and saw flames in the distance.

"That's... the direction of the port!"

Dylan was speechless. Why has Xigang been hit by disasters in the past few days?

"Sir, should we help put out the fire?" An official asked Dylan. It was night now and they had ready-made manpower.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one content, one book, one bar!

Dylan shook his head, "No, there are people in charge of fire prevention at the port. Let's not make trouble and do our own thing. Let's go out and see how much has been installed and supervise the workers not to run around."

After everyone walked out of the house, there was a noise from the direction of the fire.

At first they thought it was the people who were fighting the fire shouting, but gradually they could tell that it was clearly the sound of shouting and killing.

Everyone began to panic.

"Everyone, stay calm! Officers, go organize the workers, don't run around, don't shout."

Dylan loudly ordered the captain of the city guard who was responsible for guarding the warehouse: "Captain Mark, let your guards impose martial law, and execute anyone who makes trouble on the spot."

Although he couldn't figure out what happened, it was definitely not good. As the highest official in the warehouse area, he had to take responsibility.

Under the strong suppression of the guards, the workers finally calmed down. Dylan immediately sent someone to find out what happened at the dock.

Half an hour later, while everyone was anxiously waiting, the person who was inquiring for the news came back.

He was covered in blood and ran back panting.

"Lord Dylan! Lord Mark! Something bad has happened."

"What happened?" Captain Mark pulled him and took out a wine jug to give him a few sips of wine.

"It's pirates! Pirates are attacking us!"

Everyone was shocked.
