The arrival of dawn did not dispel the severe cold.
The entire town of Manbach, and even the surrounding supply points, were filled with arrest documents and search warrants. Many people were inexplicably taken away and executed in the street.
Even to the point of death, I don’t know who I have offended!
Li Yinguang was sitting in the control room of the Castle Iron Armored City, warming a charcoal brazier. The temperature outside was already as low as minus 40 degrees.
"Master, I heard that the Black Armored Army and the Guards and Town Guards under the jurisdiction of the Lord's Mansion arrested many people, not only in the town of Manbach, but also in the surrounding larger supply point camps.
Or even be killed on the spot!" Butler Goda said respectfully.
Li Yinguang frowned: "Being executed on the spot? Have you ever asked why?"
The housekeeper Goda had a wry smile on his face and shook his head: "No matter the reason, as long as you are suspicious or dissatisfied with the black-armored army, you may cause death, making people in the town panic, and there are no people on the streets during the day.
A pedestrian."
Li Yinguang sighed inwardly. The Black Armored Army lost hundreds of people in Manbach Town. They were obviously using the ordinary people in the town as a punching bag to vent their anger. However, they couldn't control this kind of thing, and they didn't have the ability to do so.
military law?
In a borderland like Manbach Town, what will happen if some people die? The empire is not an empire for the lower class of the poor.
"Be more careful. If there is nothing, you don't need to send people to the town to find out the news!"
Butler Goda nodded: "Yes!"
At ten minutes at noon, a group of black-armored cavalry arrived at the port. They investigated and interrogated the armored cities parked inside the port one by one. Anyone who was dissatisfied or answered questions that were not what they asked would be beaten, or killed on the spot.
"Has the Castle ever participated in the siege of the two major insect kings, the 'Dragon Worm King of the Underworld' and the 'Netherworld Monster Insect of Hell'?"
Upon finding the castle's armored castle, Li Yinguang personally led the housekeepers Goda, Elma, Saipan, Buhe and others out to welcome them despite the severe cold.
After listening to the question from the leader of the Black Armored Army, Li Yinguang hurriedly shook his head and said: "The Castle Iron Armor City only participated in the offensive and defensive battle to defend Manbach Town, and did not participate in the attack on the two insect kings. Because there was a shortage of fuel and ammunition in the Iron Armor City, we did not dare to
Leaving the town to pursue the two insect kings."
This is the fact. The Castle Iron Armored City is one of the few armored cities that did not pursue pursuit after the 'Dragon Worm King of the Underworld' and the 'Netherworld Monster Insect of Hell' escaped.
"State the battle last night!"
Li Yinguang did not dare to neglect, and described in great detail the operation of the Castle in the Armored City from beginning to end, including when it left the port, how many cannons it fired against the Zerg, and how many eagle arrows it fired.
The leader of the Black Armor Army looked cold. After listening, he continued: "Describe your impression of the 'Black Armor Army' you saw last night!"
Li Yinguang thought for a while and said seriously: "Last night, most of the west city wall was knocked down by the 'Regional Dragon Earthworm Monster'. When it was in danger, a team of 100 people in black cavalry and iron armor appeared, heading towards the Dragon Earthworm King like a sharp sword.
Get over it, if it weren't for this hundred-man army, maybe 80% of the town of Manbach would have been destroyed by now."
There is no need to brag about the combat power of the Black Armored Army. The Black Armored Army last night was extremely powerful. Otherwise, even if Manbach Town could resist, it would not be as easy as it is now.
"Are you a noble?"
"Viscount of the Golden Peony noble branch!" Li Yinguang replied respectfully.
The leader of the black-armored army looked better, nodded and continued to ask: "Is there any relationship between you and the lord of Manbach Town?"
Li Yinguang lowered his head and turned his eyes twice. He didn't know what Lord Manbach was like, but this thread was indeed a 'hope' for the castle. He hoped that the status of 'son-in-law of the lord' would be of some use.
.
He was weighing and thinking in his head, but he was not slow to answer. He hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Manbach is the father-in-law of Xiaosheng, and he is the third unmarried husband of Princess Andife!"
"Father-in-law? Lord Manbach is your father-in-law?"
"Exactly!"
The leader of the Black Iron Army stared at Li Yinguang for a while, then turned around and led the team away.
Li Yinguang raised his head and frowned slightly, knowing that maybe the card 'son-in-law of the lord' had played some role.
It's just that the Black Iron Army lost troops and generals in Manbach Town. Can they easily let Lord Manbach go?
"Owner……"
Li Yinguang raised his head, interrupted the butler Goda's speech, and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, wait until we get back to the Iron Armor City!"
Turn around and walk back into the Iron Armored City.
In the iron-clad city of the Castle, Li Yinguang felt confident, but outside, it was better not to talk too much.
After walking into the bilge, Li Yinguang asked Buhe: "Old Bu, is our 'super battery' set properly installed?"
Buhe was startled, then nodded and said: "If you go back to the city lord, it has been installed properly and can be started and put into use at any time. For the time being, only Miss Xiaoman will use it for practice at night."
After listening to this, Li Yinguang walked towards the upper level of the Iron Armor City thoughtfully!
"Master, what does City Lord mean?" Batu came up behind Buhe, scratched his head and asked in surprise.
Buhe frowned, turned around and scolded: "In the future, you are not allowed to speculate on the city lord and focus on mechanical modification research. If I hear you ask such a question again, I will break your dog legs. Remember?"
Batu lowered his head, his eyes flickering, naturally unconvinced in his heart, but he only dared to say yes honestly and did not have the guts to talk back to Buch.
…
Manbach Town, Lord's Palace.
Zhong Yuyan was soaking in the large indoor hot spring pool specially built by Andy Fei, half-lying comfortably, with Ou Gui, Ou Lan, You Fu and other women beside her serving her attentively, while Andi Fei sat opposite.
The two are old acquaintances, not the first time they met.
Andy Fei looked at the other party and said: "Sister Yuyan, why did you send a black-armored army team to Manbach Town without saying hello in advance?"
Zhong Yuyan looked calm, closed her eyes to rest, and shook her head slightly: "My sister is not the only one in the Black Armored Army. The imperial court is divided into many factions. Some people feel that the empire has been too comfortable in recent years and want to take some action."
Andy Fei's eyes flickered and said: "Are you saying that the 'Diwei' went to the Holy Dragon Snow Mountain to hunt dragons and was itself a pawn in the imperial court?"
"hehe!"
Zhong Yuyan closed her eyes and chuckled: "This chess game is huge. Not only is the 'Empire', but the Black Armored Army is also a piece on the chessboard."
After a slight pause, he continued: "This special team had an accident and did not reach the Holy Dragon Snow Mountain to contact the dragon clan. It is not a bad thing. Some people hold white stones, and some people hold black stones. There are calculations on the chessboard. If this special team
Forming a team and arriving on the territory of the Dragon Clan, whether we live or die, is not a good thing for us, but dying in Manbach Town is different!"
Manbach Lord Taishi used to be a follower of the ancestor of the Zhong family. He was both a brother and a friend, and they had an irreversible friendship. There was no need for Zhong Yuyan to come in person for the matter he was investigating.
It was precisely based on this relationship that she could not watch Lord Manbach being manipulated and remain indifferent. As for what she did after arriving in Manbach Town, one was to establish prestige for the Black Armored Army, and the other was to show others.
Kill, kill, punish without mercy.
However, the person killed was not a direct descendant of Lord Manbach. Not only would Lord Manbach not be harmed, he would also gain a lot of benefits.
In the eyes of the black-armored army, the hundreds of armored cities that were blown up by Zhong Yuyan's "Qingluan" were just a pile of junk and could not be taken away. In the end, they would not be given to Lord Manbach at a cheap price.
"That guy named Mo is not a good person. I'll tell your father later that you have to be more careful with him and make sure he doesn't get anything to do with it. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you!"
Zhong Yuyan sat up straight, opened her eyes, stood up from the hot spring pool, and said calmly.
