Chapter 918 Warning
After a night of turmoil and killing, the four largest guild forces in Port Carlin finally fell apart in the face of conspiracy and killing, and with the exception of a few leaders who survived, most of them were either killed by Arcanis and Ntreili in advance, or became the object of Fatini's training.
It can be said that the underground forces of the city have submitted to the rule of the Phantom Guild, and although it seems to be a little turbulent, the overall situation has been decided, and all that remains is to negotiate the transfer of interests.
Henry had set a detailed strategy a long time ago, first of all, the sand pirates behind the Camel Guild were mainly to win over, and the pirates of the Black Sails Guild were mainly to fight and exterminate, and the beasts could kill as many as they wanted, especially those who wanted to be like pests, and it was best not to leave any of them.
As for the Lang Nail Merchants who have close contacts with the Night Thieves Guild, they can try to contact them first, and if it is profitable to sign an agreement, it doesn't matter, after all, they are the largest and most powerful business organization in the whole of Kalinshan.
In addition to the above, there is one more important thing to deal with, and that is to go to the palace and meet Serge Pasha. Lalan. El. Pisaka, let the titular supreme ruler of Kalinshan understand who he is dealing with, otherwise he will definitely be plotting behind his back to seize control of the Phantom Guild.
After all, Port Carlin is his territory, and when a huge force that threatens the dominance rises, if this guy who relies on lies, deception and assassination does not make any move, he will immediately โฎ and will be regarded as weak and bullied by many nobles, and when the time comes, let alone continue to rule the country, I am afraid that even living is a luxury.
In this land of intrigue and chaos, the higher the social status, the more dangerous it becomes. Because there are countless pairs of sinister and greedy eyes watching from below. To sum it up in one sentence, there is only one way forward, no way back. Because if you take a step back, you will be torn to pieces by the jackals swarming behind you.
With all the essence territory occupied, Henry gave all the guild affairs to little Lori, and began to exercise her management skills, through Guรฒ last night's table, the girl has won the awe of most of the guild, and privately nicknamed her the Flame Queen, especially the two flame tornadoes. It is still talked about by many people.
As for himself, he took Artemis with him. Together, they walked in the direction of the palace in the city.
The reason why he brought this killer is very simple, because in Port Carlin, his reputation is far greater than that of Arcanis, and he can deter opponents to the greatest extent, and it just so happens that Henry has to scare Serge Pasha. Lalan. El. Pisaka, he has no intention of taking out the titular ruler of Kalinsan for the time being.
Under the cover of the darkest hour before dawn, the two easily climbed over the outer walls of the palace, completely ignoring the guards, and easily found the dormitory where their target was located through the magic of prophecy.
In fact, in the continent of Faerun, except for a very few magical kingdoms that can truly prevent outsiders from intruding. The so-called well-guarded royal palaces in other countries are nothing more than a face-saving project, which is nothing more than a waste for high-ranking professionals. Although I can't reach the Cheng dรน that I can come and go when I want, it's absolutely fine to come once or twice once in a while.
Of course, normally speaking, no one would break into the residence of the supreme ruler of a country lightly, such an act is tantamount to a provocation, and it is easy to trigger a very violent reaction, after all, as a country, there are more or less hole cards, and once a retaliation is launched, even a high-level professional has to drink a pot.
But Henry had already figured out the reality of Kalinsan, and had also reached an agreement with the real master of the land, the Talisman Society, so he didn't have any scruples at all, raised his hand to fix the guards guarding outside the palace, and swaggered through the main entrance.
As one of the oldest civilizations of mankind, Kalinsan's imposing palace is world-famous, and while admiring the interior structure and exquisite reliefs, he smiled and asked the killer next to him: "Guess what, Serge Pasha. What is Lalan doing now? Is he busy with his beautiful concubines, or is he too busy dealing with trouble? โ
"I don't know! But I'm sure this guy can't sleep right now, because Port Carlin hasn't had such a massive upheaval in the last dozen years, and maybe he's going to be in a rage. Endrili replied with a sneer.
Obviously, like most of the Kalinshan nobles, he looked down on the titular supreme ruler at all, and even had some disdain.
But it's no wonder, after all, there is nothing more aggrieved and tragic in the entire Faren Continent than being the king of Kalinshan.
Although it looks beautiful on the surface, in fact, the power is in the hands of those local real power factions, and it is completely beneficial for everyone to share equally, and if something goes wrong, you will carry the black pot, to put it bluntly, it is a scapegoat placed on the surface, and none of the supreme rulers of the past dynasties can live to the end of their lives, either from assassination and poison, or by the mutiny of their ambitious successors.
It was this frequent political alternation that caused the inhabitants of Karinsan to lose their reverence for the supreme ruler, and in the eyes of many, the king was even inferior to the powerful nobles with deep roots.
Henry could understand this thought, so he couldn't help but nod slightly: "Yes, Serge Pasha. Lalane was bound to lose sleep tonight, and as a man who took advantage of the underground forces to rise to power, he must have understood how grim the current situation was. Let's go, let's get this done quickly. โ
As he spoke, he quickened his pace through a small garden crawling with vines and plants, and soon heard the sound of cursing and throwing things coming from the room in front of him.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! Can any of you tell me where this Phantom Guild came from?!! How could they have swept through Port Carlin overnight! Completed the integration of the underground forces!! Interpretation! Give me a reasonable explanation right away! โ
"Sorry master, the owner of the Phantom Guild is very mysterious, we only know that he came to Port Carlin on a smuggling ship not long ago, and he used to work closely with Hamid, the contractor of the East Side Arena, but since the death of the big merchant, the clue has been broken, and now we can't get any useful information."
"Check! Find out who he really is right away! What the hell are you trying to do in my city! โ
"The hosts. With all due respect. Unless you use the forces that are hidden behind the scenes. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to check ...... on our own," and the voice suddenly stopped, followed by a window that was suddenly pushed open, and a man in delicate leather armor drew his short sword and asked loudly, "Who are you?" What is the purpose of infiltrating the palace?!!! โ
Glancing at the man with disdain, Henry gave the killer standing beside him a look.
Entbri sneered and rushed up, pulled out a dagger and kicked the opponent to the ground with lightning speed, and then quickly pulled out the gem dagger and put it at the throat to warn: "Don't move!" Otherwise, I guarantee you'll have an extra hole in your neck right away. โ
It was clear that this man was no match for him at all. The face of another person in a gorgeous robe in the room instantly became gloomy, and his eyes kept flickering, probably considering whether he should call the guards to save his life.
There is no doubt that he is the supreme ruler of Karlinsan, Serge Pasha. Lalan.
Looking up and down with great interest, Henry was the first to break the tense atmosphere and asked playfully, "As the master of this palace, aren't you going to invite me in and sit down?" You know, we spent a lot of effort trying to find you. Had to take out all those pesky guards along the way. โ
"You killed the guards in the palace?!" Serge Pasha. Lalan's face suddenly became even more ugly.
He originally planned to drag the other party first, and then use his nimble skills to escape. At that time, the guards were mobilized to take down the enemy, but now it seems that the situation has far exceeded expectations.
"Kill? No, no, no, I'm not so violent and bloodthirsty, I just let them stand there for a while. Hyung teased the other party in a playful tone.
Despite the superficial appearance, he is as harmless as a little white rabbit, but Serge Pasha. Lalan, however, did not dare to be careless at all, for he had just recognized that the man who had knocked his men to the ground was none other than Artemis the legendary killer who had made a name for himself in Port Carlin a few years earlier. Eun Trili, the guy who can call such a person around must be extremely dangerous.
"Hehe, relax, don't be nervous, we're not here to kill you this time, just to bring a verbal warning, never hit the attention of the Phantom Guild, because it's mine. Remember, don't try to take chances, or you'll soon find that your little strength is as fragile in front of me as a newborn baby. โ
After saying that, Henry walked outside without looking back, and Entrili sneered and drew a blood line on the unlucky man's neck, and chased after him.
Just as they were about to disappear around the corner of the palace, Serge Pasha. Lalan suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Wait! You told me not to touch the Phantom Guild, but I have to show some strength, right? Otherwise, how can I explain to those nobles? โ
"Strength?" Henry paused and smiled playfully. "No problem, I won't embarrass you. Look, when the first rays of sunlight appear today, the people of the city will see something they will never forget. โ
As soon as the words fell, the sky suddenly began to brighten, followed by the red morning sun began to rise, and a new day finally began.
As the sun slowly rises along the sea level, finally picking out the surface completely, the city's residents begin to get up, wash up, and prepare for a busy day.
But at this moment, a black ball with a strange light suddenly appeared in mid-air, followed by getting bigger and bigger...... Getting bigger...... Wrap the whole city directly.
The sun is gone!
The blue sky and clouds are also gone!
At this moment, Port Carlin feels like being in another space, especially the bright starry sky overhead, which makes people feel shocked from the heart!
However, this state did not last long, and it only took a minute or two for it to completely return to normal, and if it weren't for the fact that too many residents witnessed this scene, I am afraid that many people would have thought that their eyes were hallucinating.
After silently retracting the cosmic projection, Henry raised a finger and gently placed it on his lips, made a gesture of silence, and then disappeared without a trace.
Serge Pasha. Lalan was now speechless in horror, for he had seen the same scene yesterday morning, and had consulted a senior mage, and the answer he had given was that only a very few powerful gods were capable of doing this......
