Chapter 724 Counterattack

The residents of Porto Lion were in fear all night.

I was sleeping well, but I was suddenly awakened by the roaring sound of cannons and the sky-high flames rising from the direction of the port area. It was so scary.

When this happens, no one wants to sleep. Women hide in their homes and tremble and pray, while men go out and inquire about the situation with their neighbors.

Until the city hall sent people to the streets with loudspeakers to announce that a small group of pirates had sneaked in to cause destruction. They had been surrounded by the army in the port area and the residents were strictly ordered to go home immediately and not to spread rumors.

At the same time, a large number of police began to block various important intersections, prohibiting traffic and crowd gathering.

The flames in the direction of the port made many bosses who stocked goods in major warehouses feel distressed, fearing that they would burn their own things and curse all the damn pirates to hell.

This situation lasted until dawn. The early morning sunshine dispelled the darkness, and the city hall issued a notice to lift the city ban. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the situation had finally calmed down.

The originally silent streets were suddenly filled with people. People were eager to know more news. Most of the people living in Lion Port were engaged in work related to maritime trade. How could they remain calm when such a bold pirate suddenly appeared?

"This is the first time this city has been invaded. It seems to have a great impact on people's hearts!"

Liszt stood at the window of the conference room and looked out, looking worried.

In front of the door of the city hall is the central square of the city. Many people are blocking the door to ask for news, but the guards can only try their best to comfort them, except that the identity of the pirates is not yet known.

In fact, they really don't know, and even the senior leaders of Lion City have just gotten a few clues.

Liszt turned around and stared sternly at the businessman Martin, who was tied up and kneeling on the ground.

"Duke Giles is one of the most noble lords in the kingdom. If he knows that you framed him, the Duke will definitely skin you off alive."

Martin was so frightened that he was trembling and said: "I swear on my own life, I will never dare to deceive you, Lord Lister. It was the Grand Duke of Giles who coerced me to help him invade Lion Harbor. My entire family They are all under the control of Giles, so I have to succumb to the orders of the Grand Duke. Otherwise, as a mere businessman, how could I have the courage to touch the butt of the Marquis of Graeman...ah , I mean how dare you touch the tiger’s butt.”

Liszt's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he looked at Navy Admiral Quick who was present.

Quick shook his head, "Those soldiers who were the main force of the invasion were very strange. They were able to endure serious injuries and fight until the last moment. We couldn't capture any of them alive. But the ordinary crew members didn't know anything about them. They only knew that they were Cooperate with those soldiers to fight under the orders.”

Liszt is in trouble, and so far it is only Martin's one-sided statement.

Although Giles's image as a traitor was well known throughout Aldo, he now maintained a fragile peace with the Crown in name only. Is there someone who is deliberately intensifying the conflicts among the lords of Aldo?

At this time, the attendant quietly approached and whispered a few words beside Liszt.

"Everyone, I'll excuse you for a moment while you continue the interrogation."

After Liszt finished speaking, he hurriedly left the venue and came to his office as quickly as possible, where Sevia was already waiting for him.

"Oh my God! Where have you been all night?"

Liszt almost cried with joy. His heart was finally relieved. He stepped forward and hugged the witch tightly into his arms.

Last night, Sevia volunteered to go to the port area and never came back. Liszt thought she had an accident and was extremely sad. However, as the administrative head of this city, he never showed it in front of everyone. .

Sylvia quietly enjoyed the sweetness for a moment before breaking free from Liszt's arms.

"Sorry to worry you, I went to track down a spell caster last night, but unfortunately he escaped!"

Liszt was shocked: "Spellcaster? Could it be..."

Sylvia confirmed: "Yes, there is a spell caster among those intruders! And his master is none other than Giles!"

Giles? Liszt instantly thought of the information obtained from Martin's interrogation.

"How do you know?"

"I know that guy, Dirk Doyle!" Sylvia gritted her teeth and said: "A guy with no integrity and no principles, who can sell his soul to the devil for his own benefit."

"He used to pass messages within our circles to recruit spellcasters for his master, and his allegiance was none other than Giles."

"That's right! That's right! It's indeed Giles! We interrogated a prisoner, and he also said he was ordered by Giles!"

Liszt was a little excited, but mixed with a little panic. Why did the Northwest Bay attract the hostility of such a powerful southern lord?

"Ah, he was so panicked when he was running for his life that he dropped this!"

Sylvia handed something over, and Liszt took it and looked at it, and said in a voiceless voice: "Collins' badge?"

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

The witch opposite frowned: "This unscrupulous guy has taken refuge in Collins again! Oh my god, Collins is the most powerful lackey of the Corner Bay Church and has killed countless of our compatriots. I still underestimated Dirk Doyle's lower limit. ”

The witch's words revealed an extremely disgusting feeling.

Lister pondered, "Is there a possibility that Giles and the Church of Horn Bay have colluded, and this badge is a tool to identify enemies. Because the appearance of those warriors is indeed the appearance of the residents of the southern border of Aldo."

"I must report it to Lake Heart Town immediately."

...

"I have never liked to cause trouble, why did I encounter such a thing?"

Paul stared blankly at the letter paper on the table, looking very sad.

This is an expedited report that let him know what had just happened in Horn Bay.

Although the invasion was thwarted, he felt as uncomfortable as being slapped in the face for no reason. Paul thought that he had no grudges with Giles in the past and in the present, and it was really difficult to understand the other party's motives.

Hansel was present. After hearing Paul's sigh, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Marquis, some people think like this - there are only two kinds of people in the world for them, either his friends or his enemies. Since you rejected Giles's recruitment, he thinks you are automatically standing in the ranks of enemies."

Paul nodded, quickly adjusted his thinking to reality, and asked everyone present:

"Lion Port is isolated overseas. If these guys make trouble again and again, it will not be a good thing. But we are too far away from Giles' territory. It seems that we can only send the navy to block his port. Is there any other countermeasure?"

Hansel immediately proposed, as if he had already thought about it: "We are far away from Giles, but the king's territory is very close to him. Perhaps the warm climate in the south makes the Duke too comfortable. We have to find some excitement for him."
