Weird Star Witch

The next meeting was even more interesting, because the voting gap became very narrow, proving that the previous negotiation was very reluctant.

Due to the poor performance of the police station and the trial department, the Alchemy Council decided to remove the original police chief and the trial department chief.

Claude became the new police chief with a slight advantage in votes. Claude was promoted again, and Rudolph felt that he was the protagonist of the story.

The director of the trial department was also replaced. The original director Jem was dismissed and the new director was named Yaden. However, Rudolph could not see any depression on Jem's face. Rudolph guessed that Speaker Quint must have new arrangements for him.

After the meeting, a police officer informed Rudolph to go to the vice president's office.

The vice president's office is very spacious, with three rooms and three large windows.

There is a sofa in front of the last window. Claude sat there and motioned Rudolph to sit next to him.

Opposite Claude and Rudolph, Vice Speaker Abel was thinking on the sofa. At this time, there were only three of them in the room.

"Nice to meet you, Rudolf."

"Hello, Mr. Abel."

When he saw Rudolf, Abel felt a little better: "Rudolf, I am so grateful to you. It was you who saved the Dordo District at the risk of your life this morning."

Claude's heart suddenly tightened, and he was afraid that Rudolf would say: So, is there any reward?

According to Claude's understanding of Rudolf, the value of the title of "Outstanding Citizen" depends on how much the badge can be sold for.

"It should be. Everything was taught well by Director Claude before. When we were in Leman Town, Claude, who was the sheriff at the time, kept telling us that we must keep most people in mind, so that we can be a good patrolman."

Claude rarely blushed. Now he was practicing coughing, and the heat on his face made his hair flutter. Damn, he might as well ask the teacher for a reward...

Abel knew Claude. Claude might be good at teaching others some skills, but it was hard to imagine that Claude would ask his subordinates to give up their lives for the Dordo District.

Unfortunately, Abel was not in the mood. He just smiled. Otherwise, he would have teased Claude.

He looked at Rudolph and said:

"Rudolph, Claude and I went to Vichy, the county city, this week to ask the Constitutional Army to support Fabro City. We can't accurately grasp what happened here. Rudolph, do you have any important investigation results?"

Rudolph was about to speak, but he heard someone knocking on the door just as he opened his mouth. He saw Ivy coming in with a document for Deputy Speaker Abel to sign.

Deputy Speaker Abel noticed that Rudolph stopped talking, frowned slightly and said to Ivy: "Ivy, let's go to the Alchemy Academy now. Don't let the Alchemy Academy cause trouble at this time."

Ivy nodded and left the office.

"Okay, Rudolf, you can continue."

Rudolf asked, "Can you say anything?"

Claude took over: "Of course, Rudolf, you can say anything. Now is the time when we need intelligence the most."

Rudolf got an encouraging look from Vice Speaker Abel before continuing:

"Mr. Vice Speaker, I think there are two things that confuse me. These two things are not the wolf tide, nor the disaster directed by the Ravno family."

Vice Speaker Abel and Claude both became serious. Is there anything more serious than these two things?

"The first thing is that the Tribunal suddenly became incompetent.

In my impression, or in previous records, the Tribunal has always been the most powerful department under the Alchemy Council. Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or intelligence gathering, it can form a strong deterrent to all heretics in Fabro City.

However, the Tribunal has been extremely incompetent in recent times, so incompetent that my vigilance has dropped a lot recently, and I feel that the Tribunal can't do anything to me.

Of course, I know this is an illusion, and the Tribunal is deliberately being so slow."

The Tribunal has always been the sphere of influence of Speaker Quint, and Vice Speaker Abel does not have much influence on the Tribunal.

"The second thing, I think, may be more critical.

As far as I know, Thor Mining Company was extremely busy before the wolf tide. They opened a new Thor Trading Company.

Viscount Savan also opened a new trading company, called Rondo Trading Company. The company's headquarters was renovated from a mansion of Viscount Savan in the Rondo District.

It is clear that the great disaster is about to come, and these forces are still setting up trading companies. Who are they trading with? What are they trading for?

In the bloody fog in the early morning, even the central area where the parliament is located was attacked by the vampires, but the rich area of ​​Brown District was as if nothing had happened. I don't believe that there is nothing fishy here."

This is also the reason why Rudolf wants to avoid Ivy. Ivy is the third daughter of the Thor family. It is impossible for her to ignore the family's affairs.

Deputy Speaker Abel covered the lower half of his face with his hands and rubbed his eyelids.

Rudolf did not speak, and Claude did not speak either. They kept waiting for Deputy Speaker Abel.

Deputy Speaker Abel showed his eyes, with pain and helplessness in his eyes.

After a while, Abel said:

"Rudolf, the place you are focusing on is indeed the most critical place...

My friend in Vichy County told me not to mess around recently to avoid getting into trouble.

The city of Fabro, or the county of Vichy, and even some people at a higher level are pushing for something. They want a port city that can help them obtain resources in the wilderness.

The proven minerals and oil fields of various kingdoms and republics all have owners, but the wilderness that occupies one-third of the continent is an ownerless resource.

The forces in the wilderness are very difficult to deal with. Werewolves are outnumbered. The vampires have numerous castles in the wilderness. If you go deep into the wilderness, you can encounter high-level evil god priests. There are even several evil gods in the depths of the wilderness.

If you want to develop the wilderness, you need to station troops and send troops to protect transportation lines. This is too costly and expensive.

However, the Mogwen Empire to the north has sent troops into the wilderness and is determined to exploit the resources in the wilderness. This news put a lot of pressure on other kingdoms.

The same goes for the Carolingian Kingdom. Some people are interested in those resources.

It is so difficult to implement it. The vampires and werewolves in the wilderness have no plans to deal with the Alchemy Council. Both sides have blood feuds, so it is not easy to talk together.

However, there is a different kind of person in the vampire clan, Reifno, who has been staying in Fabro City. There is also an alternative among the werewolves, the red wolf king Weistan who has always wanted to build a werewolf city.

I suspect that these two people contacted Quint somehow.

Quint is worried about the delisting plan of Fabro City. If Fabro City can be turned into a port city, if Fabro City can be made a starting point for developing wilderness, then Quint's importance will be great. increase.

In fact, this is also true. This time I went to Vichy and found that many people were supporting Quint.

Presumably, the shares of Thor Trading Company must be very complicated, so complicated that many people in the county, city and even the province have shares in it. "

Deputy Speaker Abel stared at the coffee in front of him. The coffee had completely cooled down and had no heat at all.

"Quint is unwilling to be a smuggler, although what he does is smuggling, smuggling things from the wilderness to other cities in the kingdom, and smuggling things from the kingdom into the wilderness.    "The Redemption Act of Fabro City..." The redemption bill is nothing more than an excuse and a cover-up for the smuggling trade.

If Fabro City is full of blood servants, werewolves, and evil priests, then it makes sense that we have to deal with these people.

I think that the eighteen thousand blood servants in Fabro City will be of great use, but I don’t know what Quint’s specific plan is.

Rudolf, you reminded me that I will focus on two trading companies to see what they are going to do. "

After a period of silence, Deputy Speaker Abel sat up straight and asked Rudolph:

"Rudolf, maybe you don't know alchemists very well. Can you imagine? For profit, alchemists can do anything.

Wolf Tide and Blood Mist Night are just some necessary means to obtain profits. Maybe in a few days, 18,000 blood servants will be recruited by them to develop the wilderness. "

Is this Fabro City’s version of “changing rice into mulberry”?

In order to increase fiscal revenue, the embankments were broken and the fields were flooded, forcing people to plant mulberry trees instead. As for some people who may starve to death because of this...that is not very important. For the sake of your own money, you can only suffer the common people...

Rudolf nodded:

"I believe it, very much. I heard a bard say:

With 50% profit, the alchemist will take desperate risks;

With 100% profit, the alchemist dares to trample all human laws;

With 300% profit, the alchemist dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging;

With a 500% profit, the alchemist is even willing to sell the rope that hangs him.

For the alchemist's golden shield, ordinary people can only suffer a little longer. "

Deputy Speaker Abel smiled bitterly:

"I can only endure the hardships of ordinary people... This sentence is so accurate. This is not a bard, this is clearly a bard's philosopher..."

Claude was not good at philosophy, so he couldn't get a word in. After a while, he said: "Teacher, the time is up. I have to lead Colonel Guyton. Let Rudolph go with him."

Abel nodded and motioned for the two of them to leave first. He was meditating alone, wondering if he could come up with any good ideas or do anything.

Claude explained on the way: "The 56th Regiment of the Constitutional Army, which came from afar, needs to rest all morning. It's noon now, and they need to quickly launch a retaliatory attack on the werewolves and vampires. Let's go show them the way and help them read the map. Avoid maps that are too old and inconsistent with the current terrain.”

There is also a small airship parked in the square in front of the Parliament.

Standing in front of the airship was Colonel Guyton. He was nearly 2 meters tall and his waist was straight. At first glance, he looked like a professional soldier.

"Colonel Guyton, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Let's set off now."

"It's okay. My soldiers also need to rest. They had enough rest this morning before they could go to battle."

Several people got on the small airship and flew into the sky. After leaving Fabro City, 25 airships from the 56th Regiment of the Constitutional Army were already waiting in the air.

The small airship flew to the main ship Silver Flame. The small airship hung on the side of the main ship, and everyone also boarded the main ship.

Claude and Rudolf were just here as guides, and the 56th Regiment was responsible for the specific battles. The fleet's first target is Leman Town, south of Fabro City. Leman Town was the werewolf's base camp a few days ago.

One morning was enough for the werewolves to escape. At this time, Leman Town was in a mess, and the most common items on the streets were all kinds of clothes. It must be that the werewolves first entered the town and learned how to dress and wear hats as ordinary people.

The traces of large numbers of werewolves were easy to identify, and the airship followed the traces of werewolves outside the town.

Werewolves need rest, machines don't. After chasing for three hours, the fleet finally saw a large group of werewolves. The werewolves were fleeing on the hillside. Facing a large number of airships, the low-level werewolves had no room to resist.

"White phosphorus bombs! Get ready!"

For a time, hundreds of white phosphorus bombs covered the entire hillside. White phosphorus bombs exploded over the hillside in silvery fireworks.

White phosphorus is burning on the hillside, and even the grass, trees and soil are emitting white smoke. The white smoke is highly toxic phosphide. In conjunction with the white phosphorus bombs, the airship's broadside guns pointed downwards, bombarding the hillside.

Three rounds of white phosphorus bombs and grenades washed the ground, melting the hillside directly, and groups of werewolves were wiped out instantly.

Those werewolves who escaped could not escape far and were shot to death by artillery or machine guns on the airship.

At this time, in the horse farm on the southern outskirts of Fabro City, Red Wolf King West was tasting steak.

A level 4 werewolf was reporting something to him.

"In other words, the 56th Regiment of the Constitutional Army attacked us first? Didn't you go to Reifno first?" The Red Wolf King was a little surprised: "Quint didn't inform us in advance?"

"No, majestic Wolf King, doesn't Quint have the ability to completely control the Parliament?"

The Red Wolf King continued to take a bite of steak and shook his head:

"Let's not think too simply about Quint. Maybe this is also one of his plans. I have to say that this speaker is much better than us in conspiracy. This is what we have to learn from."

A man suddenly appeared outside the racecourse. He went straight into the racecourse owner's restaurant, where he saw the Red Wolf King in human form.

The person who came turned out to be Jim, the former director of the Judiciary who had just been dismissed. He said: "Dear Red Wolf King, the Speaker asked me to tell you that Colonel Guyton continued to complete his mission and solve the wolf tide, regardless of the Speaker's obstruction. ”

The Red Wolf King knew that the fleeing wolves had suffered heavy losses, but he didn't say anything more. He just smiled and said:

"There's nothing we can do about it. I can't stop that 'Blazing Guyton', so let him go. Has Mr. Speaker decided when to meet?"

Seeing Jem shaking his head, the Red Wolf King said:

"Oh, of course, Guyton is not in Fabbro City. I don't think the Speaker will come out at this time. It is very dangerous for him to see us at this time, although we will definitely not do anything to Speaker Quint. If you have any bad intentions, let’s wait until Guyon comes back and find a chance to talk about it.”

Watching Quint's people go away, the Red Wolf King said one last thing:

"Refnor is unlucky. Werewolves can still run during the day, but vampires can't run during the day. Wait until his castle is bulldozed.

I think Quint will also apologize to him. A light apology will be given to Ravnor in a timely manner.

For Quint, a weak partner is a good partner. When the time comes, he will have absolute initiative at the negotiating table. "

The level 4 werewolf couldn't help but lower his head and asked: "Then do we still want to cooperate with Quint?"

"Of course we have to cooperate. We have paid so much. Don't we just want to get more resources? More meat, more people, more weapons. If we don't trade and expect the werewolves to come by themselves, the speed is too slow.

As for Quint... there is nothing he can do, the alchemist is the most greedy apostle, so he must endure it for a while and establish a trade route.

Our primary goal is to control other werewolf tribes through trade. When we are strong enough, we will finally settle the score with Quint. "

After killing a large number of werewolves in a short period of time, they continued to fly into the distance.

The next target of the fleet is the castle of the Reifno family.
