Chapter 128 The Mayor Must Die
Two days later, Yale finally brought the information Lomo needed.
"I'm telling you, sir, according to the investigation and intelligence collected by my subordinates, Mayor Malcolm's personal strength is unknown, and it seems that he has never demonstrated his strength. There are more than 320 people in the Guards Battalion under him, and there are There are a first-level magic knight, a first-level magician, and a total of six trainee and apprentice magic knights. Although they are very strong on paper, their cohesion is not strong. It is said that many of them work there temporarily and are willing to work hard for Mayor Malcolm. Not much."
"Mayor Malkan has been staying in Volo City. He goes to the city hall in the morning and returns to his house in the evening. He lives a two-point-one-line life. He only occasionally supervises some goods to leave the city. These goods are all They were escorted by his Guards Battalion. It is worth mentioning that the one who provided transportation services for them was the House of Werther who had offended you before." "House of Werther." Lomo mused, this merchant had been
with Baron Nora plotted against himself.
After getting rid of Baron Nora by himself, the House of Wit quickly made a cut with Baron Nora. Therefore, no hands have been spared to solve this scourge.
Now it seems that the backend of this business is actually Mayor Malcolm. If it was Mayor Malcolm, they must have been involved in the deal with the evil orcs.
Since everyone is an old acquaintance, Luo Mo doesn't mind killing this merchant together.
After all, their location in the Magic Market is quite good.
"Can you find out what kind of goods are being transported?" Luo Mo asked.
"There was no direct contact." Yale explained: "Yesterday they sent out a batch of goods. I once asked Firefox Trading Company, which is familiar with us, to contact them. According to their speculation, it should be financial and magic products. And it is Shipped to the south. According to our previous information, Malkan's hometown is in Barren County in the south."
Lomo nodded slightly when he heard this. I thought that Mayor Malcolm was a man who knew the current affairs. As soon as there was some trouble, he immediately packed up his belongings and sent them back to his hometown.
Can it make you luck so comfortably?
However, it is really not easy to deal with the two-point-one-line daily life of Malcolm. You can't go directly to Volo City and openly kidnap a mayor.
It can only be operated on these goods.
"Are the people responsible for escorting these goods all from the Guards Battalion? Are the personnel fixed?" Lomo continued to ask.
Yale replied: "We have done an investigation on this. Every time the goods leave the city, there will be ten people from the Guards Battalion personally escorting them. Together with the people from the Witte House, they will deliver the goods to the border of Volo City. They will then Return. These ten people should be Malcolm's cronies. They are responsible for protecting Malcolm's safety on weekdays, and sometimes undertake delivery tasks. As for other personnel, they are not fixed. They should be based on the personnel on shift. Make adjustments."
"Then these people on shift are the breakthrough." Luo Mo said in a deep voice: "Have you investigated these people?" Yale
immediately said: "We will investigate people with the status of Guards Battalion Captain or above. Among them There are two captains who often come in and out of our Sa city. Now our Sa city is becoming more and more prosperous. People who do business, have fun, and all kinds of people will stop in our Sa city." "Have they been in Sa city in the past two days
? ?" Luo Mo asked.
"Yes." Yale nodded and said: "One of the men named Hardy is currently in our city of Sasha, discussing with a shop the sale of a batch of iron tools and wood. This batch of iron tools came from our mine." Hearing
this Information, Luomo finally showed a smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Find an opportunity to control him, and then torture him to make him tell more information about the Guards Battalion, as well as all the information about the ten close associates of Malcolm. . Remember, the action must be secretive, and it cannot affect the city of Sasha or cause panic." "
Understood, sir." Yale said immediately: "I would like to borrow Wade and Boyle from the advisory group. With them, the operation will be stable. A little."
"Okay. Go with my warrant." Lomo said.
"Yes, sir!" Yale immediately bowed and retreated.
During this period of time, Lomo successively built the Fire Temple, a sanctuary for fire element magic; the Alum Tower, a sanctuary for earth element magic; and the Arcane Temple, a sanctuary for arcane magic.
Because of abundant funds, he also rebuilt the Water Altar and Shadow Crack.
Each of these sanctuaries is built with exquisite grandeur, and they are scattered around the Soul Split Fortress.
Vader and his men spent their whole day working in these sanctuaries. In addition to their own training, they were also responsible for teaching the knights of the Knights how to practice magic. In the past two months, two more people in the Knights were promoted to apprentice law knights.
Nowadays, all these deserters have been integrated into the system of Saldin Manor and an advisory group has been established. In the event of an emergency, members of these advisory groups are also responsible for carrying out special tasks.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Yale has become very familiar with them, and he is also willing to find these experienced veterans to perform tasks.
For such a trivial matter as arresting a person in Sacheng, there was no need to trouble these consultants. But Yale knew that this matter was very important to the lord, and there must be no omissions. Therefore, to be on the safe side, he chose to seek help from an advisory group.
Seeing that Yale was careful and not too pretentious, Luo Mo immediately felt relieved.
Director of Military Intelligence is a very important position. From a strength perspective, Yale is not as good as those consultants. Normally, in order to preserve its position, Yale might not want those consultants to get involved.
But instead of doing this, he admitted his shortcomings. From this point of view, it is very rare for Yale to have a perfect emotional intelligence.
He also acted very quickly. At night, he came to Luo Mo's alchemy studio again and reported to him: "Sir, we have
captured that Hardy. He is the captain of the seventh detachment of the Guards Battalion. An apprentice magic knight with no great skills. We only used waterboarding three times, and he did it all." "Let's see." "It's
pretty
much what we expected. Not only did Malcolm ask them to transport Gold coins, property, and some magic products unique to the Woro Valley. In short, they are all valuable things. He had transported a batch ten days ago. But what puzzled him was that after leaving the boundaries of the Woro Valley, Part of it was taken over by the House of Witte and shipped to the north."
"North." Luo Mo pondered and said, "Is it possible that he is still doing business with the evil orcs?" "
There is one more thing." Yale continued.
"Tell me."
"Then Hardy confessed that two days later, he would help Mayor Malkane transport a batch of goods. He came to Saskatchewan this time to prepare for this transportation. According to his account, Malkan Mayor Ken needs a lot of iron ore and grinding iron ore, the more the better."
When Lomo heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this Malken could be such a jerk. To this point! How dare he use the products from our mines to sell to the evil orcs?" Yale saw that the information he had obtained during his interrogation finally made Lomo have some emotional fluctuations, and he felt relieved and said in a deep voice: "Honestly To be honest, I don’t understand why Malcolm would take such a desperate risk.”
Luo Mo smiled and said: "The reason is very simple. He can't help himself when he offends the evil orcs. In the eyes of the evil orcs, Malkan is just a tool for their own business. How could they care about Malken? Life or death? Now the evil orcs are buying iron products on a large scale. It is foreseeable that their next attack on the northern border will come soon." "
Then what should we do?" Yale asked.
"It's very simple." Romo said solemnly: "Two days later, we will personally go out to the Volo River Valley, intercept this horse of supplies, and then use it as bait to make Mayor Malkan pay the price he deserves."
When Yale heard that Luo Mo was going to take action in person, he was suddenly excited. Since the last battle against Earl Brad, it has been rare to see the lord taking action in person.
Even in training, Master Luomo rarely spends time with people like himself. The specific reason is frustrating. Although they work hard every day, they still feel that their strength is getting further and further away from the Lord. The difference between the two makes confrontation training meaningless.
According to Vader and others, the Lord is the most talented magic genius in the entire North. Yale and others are convinced of this.
According to the principle they summarized, the lord will change a small amount every three days and a major change every five days. This time Lord Luo Mo takes action, I'm afraid he will have new skills.
Just listen to Luo Mo continue to say: "But you must control this person, don't let our plan be exposed in advance." "Don't
worry, sir." Yale nodded: "Marlowe, Kingsley and Vincent have already brought people from the Military Intelligence Agency Go to Volo City and control his family. This Hardy has been frightened by our punishment and dare not act rashly at all." "Well, that's good.
You did a good job." Lomo praised softly, In recognition of Yale’s work.
Yale immediately bowed and said: "Your honor, this is what I should do."
After saying that, he took out another letter from his arms, handed it to Lomo, and briefly said to Lomo: "Then Mayor Malcolm A letter came. He said he wanted to explain to us what happened that night. According to him, the reason why he showed up at Elliot's house that night was because he realized that Elliot was your subordinate. , was particularly concerned, so he appeared there as soon as possible. This is the importance he attaches to you, sir. He solemnly stated that it had nothing to do with Elliot's death. I hope we won't misunderstand." "He also made a special statement
. , he values the relationship with you very much. He praises you as the future of the Volo Valley. As the mayor, he will give you the greatest support. This is why when Vincent and others entered the yard and said that they would take away Ai He did not refuse when he received Lute's body. He also expressed his hope that these good intentions could improve his relationship with you and bring the Volo Valley into a new era of harmony." Lomo opened the letter and looked at these compliments silently
. , with a calm expression on his face, he said coldly: "Mayor Malkan is also an eloquent person. If I hadn't already known that he had a deal with the evil orcs, maybe I would have believed him." "Then let
's How do I write him back?" Yale asked.
"Of course we have to show friendship." Lomo smiled and said: "The words should be as sincere as possible. Express his gratitude for letting us bring back Elliot's body. We should let him have the illusion that we have no hostility towards him. ."
"I understand." Yale nodded, then bowed and left.
After Yale left, Luomo thought silently in his heart.
In the past two days, he has made it clear that he wants to deal with the mayor of Volo City, but none of his people have expressed doubts.
Not only the people he trained, but even the former northern generals brought by Vader did not question it. They were once soldiers of the Kingdom of Clay, and Luo Mo thought that they would retain some fear of the Kingdom of Clay.
But the actual situation is that no one cares about it, not only the locals but also the outsiders. This matter is actually a bit treasonous in it.
Perhaps it was because the manor had killed so many nobles that they had become numb. Perhaps they already have a mentality of absolute obedience to themselves. It seems that in their eyes, killing a mayor is nothing at all.
Lomo thinks it's a bit of both worlds.
No matter what, Luo Mo was very satisfied with their attitude.
This shows that he is still very effective in uniting people's hearts.
In fact, he didn't want to touch the mayor unless absolutely necessary. After all, he just wants to develop steadily.
However, both the situation and the enemy are constantly forcing themselves to resist.
He wants to use this act of killing the mayor to let everyone understand that he is a madman and must not provoke him!
However, it is not easy to escape unscathed after killing the mayor. For this, you need to plan well.
He thought carefully about the next plan, and after confirming that there were no problems, he continued his alchemy experiment.
While the quenching experiment was being carried out, Calcifer walked in from outside.
She always smiled when seeing Luo Mo, but she didn't smile at all at this time.
She said to Luo Mo in a deep voice: "My lord, I don't know what kind of poison Joshua was poisoned with. The tree deer tried their best but could not bring her back to consciousness. The treatment process is very slow." "Is it life-threatening
? ?" Luo Mo asked in a deep voice.
"Not yet." Kasif replied: "But I can feel that her vital functions are slowly declining. In addition, she is also pregnant with a child."
Romo was stunned when he heard this, and was a little surprised. "Are you sure?"
"Sure. We specially asked the doctor who came to the manor to have a look." Kasif nodded.
Romo's expression was a little moved, and he said solemnly: "Elliot died for our manor, to save this child." "
But the poison in her body is too overbearing, and it can never be completely removed." Kasif said.
"It doesn't matter." Luomo's eyes were firm: "You try to save her and the child. As for the antidote for her poisoning, I will personally go to Malcolm to get it."
