Chapter 27: Cutting out the roots
In the middle of the harvest month (September), the harvest celebration is held as scheduled.
This is the grandest celebration in the Principality of Stars after the New Year.
At this time, all noble territories will hold celebrations to celebrate the harvest throughout the year and pray for a good harvest in the coming year..
Since the beginning of the month, caravans and foreign travelers have entered Glitter City one after another..
By the time of the harvest celebration, Glitter City was already crowded with people, and there was a lively festive atmosphere everywhere..
In the glittering castle, in the banquet hall decorated with lights, the invited guests chatted happily over wine and laughed endlessly..
In the corner of the hall, a group of young men and women gathered together, chatting and gossiping in a lively atmosphere while eating delicious food..
“I heard that Lord Storm was in a coma and he still hasn't woken up. Several of his sons are fighting for the title and their brains are about to be knocked out..”
“It is said that Earl Storm’s wife also hired a wizard to treat Earl Storm. Wow, I didn’t expect that the legendary wizard actually existed..”
“Haha, they are just a group of pretenders. They only know some tricks like juggling. They are no different from the magicians who perform acrobatics in the circus. I have also heard about this. The so-called wizard failed to cure Earl Storm at all in the end. disease, and was later stabbed to death by Earl Storm's second son..”
The legend of wizards has a large market among the upper class.
As the topic unfolded, many people showed interest and joined in the chat while holding up their wine glasses..
“Speaking of which, it seems that there is also a wizard in Black Rock City..”
“Are you talking about Sunan, the second son of the last Baron Flash? I heard that Blackstone City can develop into what it is now because of his efforts behind the scenes..”
“true or false？”
When the brothers Key and Sunan were kicked out of Glitter City and exiled to Blackstone City in disguise, almost no one thought highly of the brothers..
After all, Black Rock City is located on the border of the Golden Rock Province. Its geographical location is not good, and there is a serious threat of the Black Scaled Lizards next to it. Its development potential is pitifully low..
The two brothers, who hold a bad deck of cards, cannot possibly be the opponents of the current Flash Baron..
As soon as Owen finishes integrating the territorial forces, he will be free to deal with them..
In the eyes of everyone, the two brothers are almost the same as dead people..
But the subsequent development took a turn for the worse, exceeding many people's expectations..
Blackstone City not only restarted the Blackstone Mining Area and received a steady stream of gold coin income, but also wiped out the Black Scale Lizards in one fell swoop..
In today’s Black Rock City, everyone can see its thriving and growing development potential..
If Blackstone City is allowed to continue to develop, it may not be able to become one of the most important cities in Jinyan Province in a few years..
Many people are exploring the reasons behind the changes in Black Rock City.
After hearing that it might be related to Sunan, many people present were dubious..
After all, Su Nan's shy and introverted character is not a secret in the aristocratic circle. Compared with his talented elder brother, he is not even the slightest bit worse..
No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for such a person to be behind the changes in Black Rock City..
“Wizards and all that are nonsense..”
A young man snorted disdainfully.
“Su Nan is just a loser who can't even practice breathing techniques. What big things can such a person do?？”
“Blackstone City is just a bit lucky, and it won't be a problem at all. My father can easily deal with them without Mr. Irving taking action..”
Someone recognized that the young man who spoke was the son of Lord Zolf, who first took refuge in Owen. He smiled and did not refute..
The chat quickly moved on to other topics.
Although Blackstone City has been in the limelight recently, as Lord Zolf's son said, no one believes that Blackstone City can compete with Baron Owen, who has almost mastered the entire Shining Territory..
There is no need to even dispatch Baron Owen's elite cavalry regiment. Any one of the three lords can take action and have the strength to solve Black Rock City..
at the same time.
In the meeting hall, Owen and the three lords were sitting opposite each other..“My two nephews are really amazing. They made such a big fight without saying a word. It seems that I really underestimated them before..”
Owen gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet wine liquid shone charmingly under the light..
“Restart the Blackstone Mining Area, exterminate the Black Scale Lizards, and form a cavalry regiment. If they are allowed to continue to grow, they might be able to grow enough to compete with me..”
“The adults are joking. It is not that easy to form a cavalry regiment. Even if Blackstone City has enough gold coins, they have no way to purchase enough war horses. Forming a cavalry regiment is just a delusion after all..”
Zolf, who was tall and sturdy, said in a muffled voice..
The breathing method he practices focuses on physical fitness, so he is extremely tall and strong, nearly two meters tall..
When Baron Flash was still in office, Zolph was a famous warrior. Not long ago, after breaking through and becoming a peak knight, his reputation became even more famous..
“Yes, training cavalry is a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter. Even if Blackstone City can raise a cavalry regiment in such a short period of time, its combat effectiveness will be very limited and there is nothing to fear..”
Devin said with a smile, a flash of disdain in his eyes.
If the cavalry regiment was so easy to form, he would have done it himself..
Two little kids who are still in their infancy, have some money and start thinking wildly. They really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is..
Seeing that both colleagues had spoken, Norwood was not far behind and chimed in with a few words..
Owen narrowed his eyes and took a sip of wine..
Unlike Zolf and the other three who only relied on rumors to speculate, he has definite information proving that Black Rock City has domesticated a new type of mount, which seems to have a certain degree of combat effectiveness..
Blackstone City formed a cavalry regiment with new mounts as the core.
According to the spies' reports, Blackstone City suffered minimal losses in the battle to annihilate the Black Scaled Lizards..
It's probably because of this cavalry regiment.
From this point of view, this cavalry regiment cannot be underestimated..
Given time, maybe it can actually develop into an elite army..
When he thought of this, Owen could not help but feel anxious in his heart..
We can't drag it out any longer.！
It’s time to root out the root causes and resolve the last hidden dangers！
As soon as those two brothers die, the Shining Collar will completely become his possession, and he will no longer have to worry about anything happening.！
“What are your thoughts on Black Rock City? Owen asked calmly.：
The three lords present here are all cunning people. Upon hearing this, they immediately understood Owen's plan..
Zolf was the first to speak: "As long as you give the order, I am willing to lead troops to attack Black Rock City.".”
Devon and Norwood took a step slower, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts. This big man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is very sneaky when trying to flatter people. He is as thick-skinned as a city wall..
The two people cursed secretly, and the two of them were not slow in their actions, calling for a fight one after another..
Seeing the 'loyalty' of the three of them, Owen smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Forget sending out troops to attack, it's too ugly to eat, and although Black Rock City's military strength is not strong, it will cost a lot of manpower to eat it.".”
Zolf and the three of them looked at each other..
Devin hesitated and said, "What does that mean?”
Owen smiled mysteriously and said, "As long as Key and Sunan die, Blackstone City will naturally return to my hands..”
The three people understood it immediately and showed expressions of sudden realization..
Assassination！
This is almost a common skill for nobles.
It's just that it's generally not easy to send one of your own people to do this kind of thing, lest someone get caught..
But if he doesn't send his men, from what sources does Mr. Owen plan to hire people?？
It is said that Key has been promoted to Grand Knight.
It's not easy to assassinate a great knight！
