Chapter 320

Dodo Kingdom, Dengshi city.

Lord Eckert sat in the lounge of the sheriff's office, quietly waiting for sheriff varmont An interview with Lord dwemik. The servant of the public security office removed the intact pine nut tea, which was already cold, and offered a cup of steaming and fragrant pine nut tea again.

Eckert couldn't accept the sheriff's suggestion. He handed the scroll back, shook his head and said, "you know, I can't break the rules of the chamber of Commerce."

Vammon took the sheepskin scroll, stuffed it into the drawer and said regretfully, "this is the only place I can help you. If you don't agree, drag the goods away. It's meaningless to consume it."

"What happened?" Eckert couldn't help asking.

The sheriff was silent for a moment and said, "now, all free traders in Dengshi city can only do business with Nanfeng chamber of Commerce!"

"Nanfeng chamber of Commerce? I haven't heard of it."

"It used to be the chamber of Commerce of effissos, and now it is in the charge of the Peter family of the Borui kingdom. The head of the chamber of Commerce seems to be Raymond Peter, the eldest son of Duke Peter." Vammon sighed helplessly, "it's all arranged by the above, and I can't help it. Eckert, I frankly tell you that if the Wimbledon chamber of commerce wants to do business with free traders in dunstonburg, it must be settled first."

Eckert frowned and said, "you mean, my lord interviewed the Marquis de Wemmick?"

"No!" Vammon shook his head, stretched out his index finger, nodded upward and said, "Lord Sophia marquis will personally convince his majesty."

Convince his majesty Friedrich that the free traders of the whole dodo Kingdom do not do business with us?

Eckert was shocked. He was stunned for a long time before he said bitterly: "I know... Sorry, I have to go back to Gambis quickly."

Just as Eckert was about to go out, the sheriff stopped him.

"Old friend, make plans early."

"Thank you." Eckert reluctantly moved the corner of his mouth and walked out of the police station.

As the sun set, the streets of Denver were crowded. Eckert wrapped his thin and breathable fine linen coat tightly, boarded the carriage and drove to the hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel, Eckert climbed up the second floor with a calm face and shut himself in the room alone. Several deputies of the caravan did not dare to ask him when they saw his dignified look. After a while, Eckert came out of the room again. He handed a sheepskin letter to his assistant and said, "send a red eyed letter crow and pass this letter to Lord Sophia."

——————————

The setting sun has set and the silver moon has risen.

The night in the eastern suburb of Xiangye town was dim and hazy, and more than 20 people walked on the lonely path by the pale moonlight. The Artemisia grass on both sides of the road is half a person high. The evening wind blows slowly, and the grass leaves sway and rustle. Suddenly, a strange cry came from the depths of Artemisia, and the grass leaves shook violently and separated like water waves. The leading man was startled and lay on the ground directly.

"Pete, it's just a wild cat. Can it scare you like this?!" A man over half a hundred with gray hair mocked.

The strong man got up from the ground and held his muscular arms together. His face looked fierce because of the scar. He looked flattering and afraid. He muttered, "I... I was frightened by that group of people..."

"All right." The grey haired man stopped the strong man's explanation and asked impatiently, "where's Sven?"

"Come on, come on, go through the woods in front and walk another mile to see the abandoned ranch. Boss swain and his brothers are hiding in it." Peter, the strong man, nodded and bowed.

"Continue to lead the way."

"Yes, yes, master Barol."

The grey haired man is Barol, the spy leader of the Randall family. He was ordered by Victor to develop mercury outside the kingdom of dodo.

Four months ago, barrol supported a dark son in Xiangye Town, that is, Peter's boss Sven. Subsequently, barrol received an order from the Randall family. Victor asked mercury to provide logistical support and intelligence support for the kestrel mercenary regiment and the bear regiment. With the help of mercury, Fermi's kestrel mercenary regiment coerced more than a dozen free civilian and commercial traders into the mountains to look for Shanmin villages and open up smuggling routes and mercenary strongholds. Barrett's bear regiment also received sufficient supplies and was heading for the Wharton prairie.

Barrow completed his mission and returned to Hongye Town, but found that Sven's power was pulled out by a group of outsiders, and Sven and his confidants disappeared. Just as barrow was about to investigate the identity of the outsider, Sven's thug Pete contacted him. Pete said Sven was hiding in the suburbs of Xiangye town and offered to take barrow to Sven.

There are many unreasonable places in the changes in Xiangye town. How can Pete's little tricks hide from the crafty barrow. According to the spy's practice, he should kill Peter on the spot, remove all traces and evacuate quickly. As for Dwayne, it was only the dark son temporarily arranged by mercury. His life and death were insignificant.

However, Xiangye town is very important to mercury.

Large business groups use the radiation effect of major cities to complete the commodity circulation and material distribution of the whole territory. Victor did the opposite. The smuggling caravan of Randall family controlled the mountain stronghold and refugee camp first, and then affected the relevant villages. The village head would pull the goods to the town market for sale, and the local caravan would naturally sell the goods to the main city.

To put it bluntly, it is the difference between cities affecting rural areas and cities surrounded by rural areas.

Xiangye town is located in the southeast border of Dodo kingdom. You can walk 12 days to the west to reach the Dengshi city of deweimick family. There are vast mountains and forests in the East and North. Four of the seven villages under its jurisdiction are related to mountain people's villages. Xiangye town is rich in spices, flax and iron ore. although its geographical location is remote, there is an endless stream of caravans, with a resident population of more than 20000.

With remote location, rich products, prosperous trade and large population, Xiangye town connects the main city and countryside. The conditions of Xiangye town fully meet the needs of Mercury's external development.

Sven is a villain born and raised in Hongye town. Barrow helped him replace the former boss. Although his time on the top was short, he was also recognized by the sheriff. Although the sheriff will not care about the change of local underground forces, it is impossible for the sheriff's office to sit idly by for two gang leaders in a few months.

Barol smelled an unusual smell. He didn't know who his opponent was, but he could be sure of three points.

First of all, the villains have no integrity. Swinn must have sold him even if he was still alive. The thug Peter is leading them into a trap. Second, the opponent is not a spy. Because the spy's style is low-key and cautious, even changing two bosses in a short time, the blind can see that there is a problem. The third and most important point is that if the sheriff wants to deal with mercury, he can organize arrests in the town, and there is no need to set traps at all.

If the opponent is neither a spy nor a sheriff, there is no need to worry.

Barol decided to take the simplest and roughest way: crush the trap, catch two living mouths and torture each other's origin. The elite guards of the Randall family are his strength.

The road became narrower and narrower. The shadowy dwarf forest was not far away. The red wolf suddenly stopped and whispered, "head, don't go. There's danger ahead."

The thief red wolf has an extraordinary intuition about danger. Barrow knows the ability of the red wolf. He made a gesture, motioned the team to stop in place and sighed, "Pete, do you know why I don't light the ignition?" Without waiting for Peter to answer, he pointed to the dwarf forest and said, "if there is a team of crossbow men hidden in the forest, we will become live targets with torches."

Peter's face changed greatly. He turned his back and wanted to drill into the Artemisia grass, but he was pinched by a strong man beside barrol. The sharp pain of shoulder cracking and the fear of death made Peter howl and struggle, but the hand was like cast iron and could not be shaken at all.

Barol said to himself, "this distance is just not enough for the range of the crossbow. If you have a military Heavy Crossbow..." his voice suddenly turned higher, "I don't admit defeat!"

"Wow"

The resident birds in the dwarf forest soared into the sky, and then there were the sounds of sword collision, tree collapse, body splitting, shouting and scream.

"Go to 10 more people to support the brothers inside. Remember to leave a few alive."

Ten figures swept out of the team, like arrows shot into the woods 200 meters away, and the sound of the battle became more intense.

It was a quarter of an hour before the dwarf forest gradually calmed down.

Five people came out of the woods one after another. The strong man in front of him carried a prisoner curled up in a regiment and said in a deep voice, "kill 39 enemies, break one brother and catch only one alive. The other brothers are cleaning the battlefield and searching for the enemies who have escaped the net."

Barol asked in surprise, "only one living person was caught? A brother was sacrificed? Is the opponent difficult to deal with?"

"Well, they fought very tenaciously. Two people were particularly powerful. They jointly killed one of our brothers, and then one was killed. Only this guy was caught. He wanted to commit suicide, so we had to wring off his limbs and spine. He was in shock and could not be tortured for the time being."

Barol could not help but wrinkle his gray eyebrows. The combat effectiveness of elite guards is no less than that of senior trainee knights, especially good at night fighting in complex environments. It's not surprising that 18 elite guards annihilated 40 enemies in the dense woods, but these enemies would rather die than surrender, which is by no means an ordinary gangster.

In Barol's impression, only elite soldiers or top mercenaries have such a tenacious will to fight.

Elite soldiers don't need to ambush us. Someone hired a mercenary regiment to deal with us? Is mercury exposed?

Barol thought for a moment and said, "take these two guys and let's go into the woods and have a look."
