Chapter 724 Counterattack
The residents of Lion Harbor were in fear all night.
I was sleeping well, but I was suddenly awakened by the roaring sound of cannons, and the flames rising into the sky in the direction of the port area, it was so scary.
When this happens, no one can think of sleeping. The woman hides at home and trembles in prayer, while the man goes out to inquire about the situation with the neighbors.
It was not 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 and suppressed by the army in the port area. 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 Port Lion were engaged in work related to maritime trade. Suddenly such a bold pirate appeared. , how can you remain calm?
“This is the first time this city has been invaded, and 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 city hall gate 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. They can do nothing except saying that the identity of the pirates is not known yet. inform.
In fact, they really don’t know, and even the senior leaders of Lion City have just gotten a little bit of clues.
Liszt turned around and stared sternly at the businessman Martin, who was tied up and kneeling on the ground.
“The Duke of 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 already 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 Port Lion. 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, and he looked at the naval 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 asked I don’t know, I only know how to cooperate with those soldiers to fight under their orders."
Liszt is in trouble, and so far it is only one-sided words from Martin.
Although Giles' image as a rebel is well known throughout Aldo, he now nominally recognizes the rule of the royal family and maintains a fragile peace with it. Is someone 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 speaking, Liszt hurriedly left the venue and came to his office as quickly as possible. Sevia was already there Waiting for him there.
"Oh my God! Where have you been all night?"
Liszt almost cried with joy, and his heart that had been hanging was finally relieved. He stepped forward and held the witch tightly. Hold her tightly in your 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: "Casting Is it..."
Sevia confirmed: "Yes, there is a spell caster among those intruders! And his owner is 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 moral integrity and no principles. , can sell his soul to the devil for his own benefit."
"He once. Spread the news in our circle and recruit spellcasters for his master, and his allegiance is to Giles."
"That's right! That's right! 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 too panicked when he was running for his life, and he dropped this!”
Selvia handed something, Liszt took it and looked at it, and said in a voice: "Collins A badge?”
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 the lower limit of Dirk Doyle."
< br>The witch's words revealed incomparable disgust.
Liszt pondered: "Is there a possibility that Giles has colluded with the Corner Bay Church? This badge is a tool to identify ourselves and the enemy. Because the appearance of those warriors is indeed the appearance of the residents of Aldo's southern territory. . ”
“I must go immediately. Report to Huxin Town. "
......
"I have never liked causing trouble. Why did this happen to me?"
Paul was stunned. Looking at the letter paper placed on the table, he looked very sad.
This was an urgent report, letting him know what had just happened in Cape Bay.
Although the invasion was thwarted, he still felt as uncomfortable as being slapped inexplicably. Paul believed that he and Giles had no grudges in the past and had no grudges recently, and it was really difficult to understand the other's motives.
Hansel was present. After hearing Paul’s exclamation, he couldn’t help but smile: “Your Majesty, Marquis, some people think like this – for them, there are only two kinds of people in the world, who are not his friends. , is his enemy. Since you rejected Giles’ solicitation, in his opinion, you automatically become one of the enemies.”
Paul nodded and quickly adjusted his thinking to reality. , asked everyone present:
"Lion Port is isolated overseas. It would not be a good thing if these guys make trouble again and again, but we are too far away from Giles' territory. It seems We can only send out the navy to blockade his port. Is there any other way to counter it?”
Hansel immediately suggested, 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, so we need to find something for him." Stimulating.”
