Chapter 220: The Harbinger of Boiling (At the Last Moment of the Month, Ask for a Monthly Pass)

The prisoner who hunted the merchant was discovered during the murder and ensued a fierce battle with the guards, eventually committing suicide in defeat. After this news came out, it caused a shock in the entire Highland City, not because the prisoner would be caught so quickly, but because the identity of the prisoner β€”β€”β€” after investigation, the prisoner was actually the most prestigious elder in the Highland City, Morey. Heather!

Among the civilians of Highland City, Morey is a very prestigious figure, he once served as the sheriff of Highland City, he is an upright person, and he always stands by those people against unequal exploitation and oppression, which makes Morey's reputation among the people of Highland City even higher than that of the city lord. Although the Helanik Consortium has always disliked him, he has no excuse to deal with Morey, so he can only watch from the sidelines. However, Morey's performance did not make the Aranic family feel any threat, in addition to helping the people fight for some of their own interests, Morey himself is very low-key, he never thought of using his huge influence to win the people to fight together or anything, which is why the Aylonic consortium kept him alive, if Morey tried to make himself some kind of revolutionary leader, then now his belonging is a mass grave.

Being able to manage a city in secret, the Elonic family is naturally not the kind of reckless man who will kill the whole family if you don't like you, the essence of a businessman is still profit, even if it is a person like Morey, as long as it has use value, then it is nothing. After all, he has an honest and loyal personality, and he will not take the initiative to stand up and cause trouble, and in the eyes of the Aranic family, it is not bad to have such a guy to lead those lower-class people. Those stupid idiots obeyed Morey's words, and even if they were treated unfairly, they would only run to cry to him as soon as possible, and the other party's methods were mainly negotiations, which also guaranteed Emperor Wen of Highland City from another aspect.

Who knows if Lu Dao kills him, will there be a fool full of muscles to take his place. As soon as he came up, he called on the people to unite and fight to the death? The most important purpose of their coming here is to make money, and they don't plan to do anything that is contrary to making money.

But now, it's no longer useful to talk about that.

Morey's death caused an uproar in Highland City, although on the surface it appeared that everything had returned to peace with Morey's death. But Yama knew very well that the current Highland City was like waiting for an eruption on the crater. On the surface, it looks very calm, but the next moment it erupts, then it will be an unprecedented huge tremor! His intelligence network has shown that many lower-class people are very angry about Morey's death, they think that Morey has done nothing wrong, those greedy businessmen are uneasy and kind to come here, and some people even think that these businessmen have actually forced Morey, who has always been honest and duty-bound, to this point, which means that those greedy bastards must be expelled! This is the responsibility of our entire Highland people. Therefore, we should also carry on Morey's legacy and continue to carry it forward! Others believe that Morey is not a murderer at all, but is just being used as a scapegoat from above! They are taking the opportunity to purge those who oppose them, thinking that these greedy merchants will be able to pave the way for these greedy merchants to enter Highland City!

Although there are several theories, no matter which one they are, it is not good news for Shanlide, because whether they believe or do not believe in this matter. They all aimed their anger and spearheads at the upper echelons of Highland City, against the Elonyk Consortium. If this matter is not solved well, then Highland City will be in an unprecedented crisis!

To be honest, he himself didn't believe that Morey did it, he had been in control of the city for more than a decade, and when he first arrived, Morey was the sheriff here. And when he completely mastered Highland City, Morey got out of the way. In Shan Lide's memory, Morey had some strength, but it was nothing more than that, the sheriff of a small border city. No matter how strong the strength is, how strong can it be? With Morey's strength, he was able to unknowingly pass through the guards of more than a hundred Holy Serpent Society guards and transport the corpse to the stone tablet? Although in the subsequent battle, he did burst out with a force beyond Shan Lide's imagination, but in Shan Lide's opinion, Morey's strength burst before his death was still acceptable, and because of this, he always felt that things were not so simple.........

It went so well............ It all went so well.

The first, second and third days broke out such a bad thing, but on the fourth day, the matter was solved so easily, although Shan Lide could also comfort himself by saying that because he had strengthened his security, Morey could not be as secretive as before, and was discovered later. But with Shan Lide's understanding of Morey, he is not an impulsive and stubborn person, if he is really a murderer, after realizing that he has strengthened his security, he can wait for a while, after all, it is impossible for Highland City to maintain such a high alert posture every day, and as a former sheriff, it is not difficult for him to get the security intensity of Highland City, he can choose to lurk for the time being, and then start when the security is not so strong, and then just toss and turn, Shan Lide believes, If Morey chooses to do this, he will definitely have a headache to death. However, as if he was not aware of this critical problem, he still ran out to attack the merchants, and eventually was even discovered............... Is it absolute confidence in your own strength? Or is there something else wrong?

Until now, he felt that there was some kind of conspiracy behind this series of events, and he found himself like a clown character who was forced to get involved in a play, unable to do anything but mechanically follow the words of the announcer step by step, saying the established lines, and completing the established actions. Because if he doesn't do this, then he will be smashed by the audience. But if he continues to follow the instructions on the script step by step, then he may eventually lead himself into the bottomless abyss. This made Shanlide feel very bad, because he found that he had not been able to grasp the situation, and had even been mastered by the situation.

He had a hunch that this was just the beginning.

Not only did Shan Lide feel this way, but Cliff at this time also felt an abnormal headache.

"We can't be silent any longer!!"

Listening to the roar in his ears and looking at the angry crowd in front of him, Cliff frowned.

"I said it. These are extraordinary times, and we have to stay calm! Do you think that with our current strength, we are enough to fight against the Γ„lchenique Consortium? ”

"Enough!"

Hearing Cliff's inquiry, the man in charge slammed his face on the table, his eyes red and bloodshot with angry flames.

"We can't take it anymore. Even Lord Morey is willing to do such a thing for us, but what have we done? We didn't do anything! We just ignorantly bear the protection of the Lord and leave everything to him to solve, but this is not a problem that Lord Morey can solve alone! It's the problem of our entire Highland City, yes, our strength alone may not be enough, but behind us stands the entire Highland City!! As long as we mobilize those people to rise up and fight, then we will surely achieve the ultimate victory! ”

"Are you crazy?"

Hearing this, Cliff's eyes widened. Look at your companions.

"You want to involve the whole Highland City, do you know how many old and weak women and children are in the Dao? Do you want their families to be drawn into the war and die? Is that what you think?!! ”

"So what? Is there a difference between being now or being dead for us? Is there a choice for us to die like a slave or to die like a hero? I've had enough, I've had enough of hiding behind other people's backs, and it's up to us to fight for our rights, even if it's iron and blood. I will never give up even if there is a river of blood, and if you are afraid, you can quit. You coward!! ”

"I'm not a coward!"

Hearing the other party's roar, Cliff also gritted his teeth and shouted.

"But the current situation is very unfavorable for us, and in such a situation, even if we can do anything, we can only stop the car with our mantis arm, in the immediate situation. We should be more cautious............"

"Boom!!"

Before Cliff could finish his sentence, the man raised his fist and slammed it into Cliff's face. Then Cliff was knocked to the ground, and the noisy room fell silent with the sound of tables and chairs tumbling.

"I've had enough of you. Cliff, you always say to be cautious, and to be cautious, and now, Master Morey is dead, and his body is hanging outside by those greedy nobles and merchants, but you want us to be cautious for the fuck! I've had enough, you coward, guts man, how could Lord Morey be blind and take a fancy to such a bastard as you!! Phew!! You're just a waste of unplanted waste! Lao Tzu is fed up, brothers, willing to do it with Lao Tzu! If it's a coward who doesn't have the guts, then huddle here and shiver with this idiot! ”

After the man said this, he turned and left the room, and with his departure, everyone in the room gradually withdrew, and soon, the huge room became empty, Cliff lay on the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling in front of him, his cheeks were burning with pain, but at the moment Cliff did not want to think about anything. He didn't know what was going to be like this, and he didn't know what was going to be like this, and he didn't know what the people he respected the most would be inexplicably involved in this conflict, but there was only one thing he knew all too well......... That's the next Highland City, I'm afraid it's going to change a lot. It was no longer just a commotion, it could even be said to be a war, and everyone, male and female, old and young, would be caught up in this raging fire, allowing blood to flow and fill the entire Highland City.

Will they be able to claim the best possible victory?

Cliff was not optimistic about this, and he asked everyone to be patient, not out of cowardice, nor out of cowardice, but to prevent further interference by the Council of Light. As the deputy of the city lord, Cliff, who has been circling the upper echelons all day long, certainly knows the doorway between the nobles, and if this is the end of the matter, then it is impossible for the Council of Light to interfere. Because no matter whether it is public or private, Shan Lide's side will never allow anyone to weaken his power, so he will definitely try his best to deal with this matter, or even suppress it. To put it bluntly, if he and others want to continue to develop, they must also rely on the "selfishness" of the Elonic family.

But once the people rioted, the degree was completely different, if it had been before, the Highland City riot might not even bother the Council of Light to look at it, whatever they wanted. But now. If something like this happens in Highland City, which is the most important city, it will definitely attract the attention of the Council of Light, and at that time, they may send an army. And the Void Realm will never send a regular army into the Highland City as the Land of Vision, and once the two sides fight around the Highland City, then who is unlucky?

The answer is self-explanatory.

It wasn't that Cliff hadn't told them about the dangers, but now they were carried away by anger. There is simply no reluctance to accept Cliff's claims. Or in their eyes, it's all a vague delusion of victimization, why must the Council of Light send an army to suppress us, why can't we get rid of the vampires who occupied Highland City in the shortest possible time, and then we become the masters of the city? Since these are all imaginations that have not become reality, why don't you think about the good side and the bad side?

People hate to be sung, especially every time Cliff will say to them, "It's not the time", "We don't have enough strength at the moment", "The time is not right", once or twice. If there are too many of them, they will also be disgusted, so why can't we? Why do we have to lose? Those aristocratic merchants are very powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they are also human beings, they don't have a pair of pointed ears, two wings and a tail, and they will die if they are stabbed in the heart, right? Why should they oppress us, and we can only bear it?

In the past, there was Morey, a respected and respected old sheriff. They didn't dare to refute, but for now. He's dead, and Cliff, apparently, doesn't have the same prestige as he is, and one could even say, he's a bit of a fox and a tiger.

"Cliff, are you alright?"

It was at this time. A slightly weak voice rang in Cliff's ears, and he turned his head to look at his young colleague beside him, and smiled wryly.

"You're not gone yet..............."

"I think you're right. But now ..............."

"yes, it's useless to talk about that now."

Hearing the woman's words, Cliff shook his head helplessly, and then he shook his head and stood up. At this moment, the young man's eyes became extremely resolute, and even some kind of fire burned.

"It's useless to say that now, since they've made a decision, then I'll have to make a decision. I wasn't going to do that, but now, there's no turning back. They will definitely fail, and it is only a matter of time before the Council of Light decides to send troops to suppress it, and by that time, Highland City will indeed be completely destroyed. And now, we need even more strong back-up. ”

With that, Cliff got up and looked at the woman in front of him.

"I need you to do me a favor."

"What's the rush? Cliff? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the emissary of the Void Lord is still in the Highlands, and I know that you have always been in charge of this aspect, so I hope you can arrange an opportunity for me to meet with the emissary of the Void Lord, as soon as possible! It's better to be on these two days, don't let anyone else find out, please. The only one who can save Highland City is the Void Lord, and if we want to keep our city, this is the last chance! ”

To be honest, Cliff himself is not sure if this is the right choice at the moment, because he doesn't have much power and capital to do this now, and the Void Lord is not a fool, and he can persuade the other party to send troops to help him by sending someone casually, at least he needs to let the Void Lord know that he has enough capital, for example, he can ensure that he can control the Highland City well after that, and become the Void Lord's right-hand man, instead of making things more chaotic. But now, Cliff no longer has this capital, Morey is dead, and his subordinates have chosen to split with him, and Cliff has no other help in his hands except for so many people who are loyal to him and like-minded with him. Although he believed that those people would learn their mistakes after the bloody and brutal repression, and thus wake up and support themselves again. But if he goes to the Void Lord's help by then, it will be too late, so Cliff must convince the Void Lord's troops to help him in the shortest possible time, so that he can get everything done in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, by the time the Council of Light intervenes, it will be too late. Luckily, he knew his companions well, and although these people were easy to act in the excitement of the crowd, but because their actions were so sudden, they were likely to catch the Council of Light off guard, and in the absence of any planning, the dispatch of the army might be delayed, which was a great blessing in misfortune.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ All right. ”

Faced with Cliff's words, the woman hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"I try to do it, and while I don't believe it can change anything, as you said, we have no other choice."

"Thank you, thank you........."

Hearing his colleague's answer, Cliff lowered his head and let out a long sigh, and because of this, he did not notice the red glow that appeared in the eyes of his colleague.........

PS: It's already the last moment at the end of the month, and the month will be over in two or three hours. (To be continued......)
