Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 88 Go buy a little time
Before the acting lord reminded him in a voice from Sen Ran, many of the officials did have the idea of sneaking away. Even after the acting lord's "kind-hearted" reminder, there are still many guys who plan to run away secretly.
They didn't doubt that the vicarious lord's methods would make them regret it, but those who planned to sneak away would still run......
Elune is no more than the rest of the world, and there are no surveillance devices such as cameras. Even with surveillance equipment, it is not easy to find a specific person in the middle of nowhere. As long as you stay away from the Acting Lord Viscount Norn, it should be safe!
Watching the last official leave the government affairs hall, Fang Qiuling reached out and took a piece of parchment that had already been written, then turned around and handed it to the old butler Garras.
"It's ......"
"Just open it and you'll know. Mr. Garras, I hope you can take the two of them and learn a little. β
Fang Qiuling raised his chin and gestured to the two figures beside him with their heads hanging down.
Alina and Rodner were almost asleep. The two of them have just recovered from a serious illness, and they are young, so they are already sleepy at the moment.
Butler Garras unfolded the parchment with a little confusion and quickly looked aside.
ββ¦β¦ Thisβhow is this possible! β
The content on the parchment was shocking, and just by looking at the beginning, the old butler was directly red-eyed.
"Of course it's true, it's all at this time......" Fang Qiuling took the kettle on the round table and began to pour water, "The invasion plan of the Dark Realm is not recent, what's so strange about developing a few spies?" I can't look down on 'dark arts', what's so good about being bloody. The Diharus family has its own heritage, and it is not eye-catching. But not necessarily for the minor aristocracy. Especially ......"
Fang Qiuling didn't continue, but the old butler clearly understood the hidden content of the words.
There were also contradictions between the nobility and the nobility, and there were even more feuds between them. When the family is in power, it is infinitely beautiful, but once it loses in the palace battle and the family falls, the family that falls from the clouds often does not end well.
There is an old saying in the world: cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The struggle between the nobles shows this old saying vividly, and raiding the house and destroying the door is a routine operation. However, no matter how much you cut the grass, there will always be some grass roots that are not cleaned up once in a while. After the fallen nobles, most of them are illegitimate children, and they will always spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
For the survivors of these families' blood sacrifices, hatred is what keeps them alive. They will do whatever it takes to get revenge. And such a guy is the easiest to accept the "gift" of the deceased, and the easiest to become a spy for Mamo in the Dark Country.
Fang Qiuling wrote a list of these guys on the parchment that Fang Qiuling gave to the old butler, and attached some of the deeds.
The research process of "Dark Arts" is extremely inhuman and unusually cruel. What do these guys do...... Such torture with a car crack is not enough to relieve hatred!
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at the whole parchment, the old butler was silent.
As the number one retainer of the lord family in the Misty Lake region, Steward Garras has long had a deep understanding of the dark side of the nobility. Even the upright Earl of DeHarus had an unknown side, and the origin of the raw materials for the dragon's blood potion was no secret to the old butler. It can be said that the older the family, the more dark sides there are.
Even though the old butler had long looked at the unknown side of the nobles with the greatest malice, he still didn't expect that those fallen nobles who were bent on revenge and reviving the glory of the family could go crazy!
The purpose of throwing this parchment out on behalf of the lord was self-evident, and the old butler was very much in favor of killing all these fellows who had committed many crimes. The intention of the substitute leader to bring his own little master is also obvious, and it is just a noble course in advance. But...... Isn't it a bit early for such a course? The little master is still young, is such a scene too bloody for him?
Fang Qiuling threw out the parchment and turned his gaze to Ms. Mogre.
"Ma'am, are you ready?"
Lady Mogre nodded slightly: "You can go at any time." β
"Okay, let's go!"
Fang Qiuling drank the water from the water cup in his hand, then took out the Bright Strike from the storage bag and waved it to Lady Mogre.
Lady Moghley took the blow of the light cautiously, and then slapped her right hand on her chest in salute. With her movements, the paladins in the government hall also beat their chests in salute.
The uniform movements and the metal clash of the right hand on the chest were like a dull drum beat, which made everyone in the government hall look sideways.
- Acting Lord, what are the military operations?
The officials who had not yet left looked at each other, and there were a few more questions on the gloomy face of the butler Garras. But everyone was strangely silent, and no one spoke.
In just one afternoon, the authority of the acting lord seemed to have taken root in the hearts of the people. This is partly due to the sword hanging high above the neck, but more importantly due to the strength displayed by the lord and his retainers.
In everyone's mind, fleeing was a disaster. Along with hunger, fatigue and disease, countless people will die on the way to escape. But the Acting Lord turned the disaster into a big hiking outing! It's unimaginable!
- Everything is under control, everything can be planned in advance, everything is done according to plan.
Although the "Great Evacuation" had only just begun, as long as the Acting Lord's planned steps were carried out step by step, most of the inhabitants of the Mist Lake region would be able to successfully escape to Rift Fortress - the officials who had been meeting for nearly a day were convinced.
As a result, Fang Qiuling successfully established his prestige. However, his prestige is still somewhat based on the Deharus family, and once the Deharus family parted ways with him, it is believed that this authority will soon disappear.
The silence of the government hall was quickly broken, and a crisp and pleasant female voice asked with a rising sense of brightness:
"Master, master, where are you going?"
The younger sister of the twins cast a concerned look.
"Go to the south of the Lake Boulevard. Wuxi Fort has been besieged, and most of the south side will not be peaceful now. Fang Qiuling said as he walked towards the gate of the government affairs hall, "I'll leave it to you here, evacuate the residents as soon as possible." We ......," he said, looking around the paladins, "...... Go buy a little more time. β
ββ¦β¦ Master, I wish you a victorious start and prosperous martial arts! β
The older sister of the twins got up and stroked her breasts as a salute. As she moved, a solemn look appeared on the faces of the officials who were looking at each other around her. They also caressed their chests in salute, and then bowed their heads to pay homage to the Acting Lord.
"Acting Lord, I wish you a victorious start and a prosperous martial arts!"
Although the voices are somewhat uneven, there is an amazing momentum for so many people to speak at the same time. The drowsy Alina and Rodner were suddenly awakened and looked around blankly. Also taken aback was Eliza, the little cat woman who didn't know much had been in a daze since she walked into the government hall, and now she was completely awake and scared.
Fang Qiuling waved his hand and walked straight out of the door of the government affairs hall without looking back. Behind him, paladins streamed out.
- Wow! That's cool!
Yuya's eyes flickered, and there were faint little stars.
The stupid master of his own house is going to the battlefield, as an alternate hostess...... One of them, there must be something to show it. Do you want to send a kiss as an encouragement...... No! There are so many people, and people will be shy! What else can we say?
The cunning eyes rolled slightly, and Yuya quickly thought of it.
- Master, master, that ......
Before she could transmit her thoughts to the spiritual realm, her sister's voice sounded first.
- Master, we came here on griffons. Now that the griffons are in Mr. Hadner's cabin, can they help you?
Yuya's smiling face stiffened slightly.
- My sister is my own person, and competing for favor with my sister is the most meaningless thing; My sister is my own person, and competing for favor with my sister is the most meaningless thing; My sister is my own person, and competing for favor with my sister is the most meaningless thing......
After repeating it several times, the irascible little devil in his heart was suppressed. But......
- I still want to compete for favor! I really want to compete for favor!
The smile on Yuya's face was even worse, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth rose even higher. The subtle change in her expression was immediately noticed by her own sister.
Every time Yuya laughs like this, something messes come out. In the past, it was attributed to the true blood of Ji Shen, and there was nothing to be done. Now Ji Shen's true blood must have been suppressed, and Yuya can still smile so brightly...... It must have something to do with its own character!
Sister Yuna immediately quietly walked to her sister's side, and then pinched her sister's waist with her hand lightly.
- Hmm! Sister, I was wrong! Don't pinch me!
- Hmm! It's good to know it's wrong! Settle down!
- Oh, got it......
Fang Qiuling didn't notice the small movements between the sisters, he was more curious about how the twins got the two griffins.
Griffons are not horses, they are not so easy to tame. Besides, even a horse, with the small arms and legs of a twin, cannot be tamed, let alone a fierce griffin.
- By the way, where did you get the griffons?
- We didn't catch them, they came on their own.
Fang Qiuling was a little confused.
Will griffons also actively seek out their owners? Never heard of it!
Adult griffons in the wild belong to the lord-level magical beasts. If we use the human title as an analogy, the lord-level demonic beast is almost the same as the earl. Not only does it own its own territory, but it even uses a small group of servants to provide it with offerings. For example, goblins and kobolds will worship the Wyvern as their "leader". Griffons are usually "solitary" and territorial, and usually do not allow aliens to enter their territory, so there are no servant groups.
- Wait a minute! Could it be that they are......
After being stunned for a moment, Fang Qiuling quickly thought of the nest of griffins on some nameless mountain peak in the Agarwar Valley.
- Could it be the father griffon and the mother griffon on the mountain? Belch...... No, it must be!
The twins had come from the Agarwar Valley, and there should be no more griffon's nests within a hundred miles radius except for the nest of griffins on the top of the mountain.
Fang Qiuling was even more curious.
- How did you do that? What did the griffin do to "bow down"?
