"How dare he! How dare he touch my things!" A beautiful glass was thrown to the ground without warning, and the red wine inside splashed on the wall, like human blood.
Giese stared at the person who came to deliver the message with a gloomy face, and yelled loudly: "Does he think that there is nothing I can do against him without evidence? Does he think that he can do whatever he wants if he is going to die?"
The messenger had to lower his head lower because the news he sent was really not good news.
The convoy of the Cyric Consortium that set out from the Beiling Iron Mine was robbed on a road with almost no gangsters, and not even a single person came back alive.
It is unknown who did it, but those goods worth thousands of gold, those steels that were extremely expensive during the war, just disappeared.
The entire convoy disappeared without a trace. Fischereau, Earl of Northridge, personally led the troops to search and put a large area nearby under martial law. This made it impossible for investigators organized by Cyric himself to enter.
Everything is in line with common sense, and everything is so bizarre. In short, in a short period of time, Cyric may not be able to figure out where the soldiers who escorted the goods and those expensive iron ingots went.
Of course they didn't know that the iron ore had been mixed into the team heading to Bunas, and along with more than 2,000 immigrants, they left Beiling without anyone noticing and arrived at a small town on the coastline.
"Sir..." When he saw the furious Geese grabbing a new cup and about to throw it away, the messenger cautiously asked with some pain: "Do you want it, from our side..."
Giese had a gloomy face, and in the end he did not immediately throw the glass in his hand to the ground, but muttered sinisterly: "Fishero! I will definitely let you know what will happen if you offend the Cyric Consortium.
The end!"
"Tell the envoy of the Kingdom of Susas for me! Tell him that I want Ronin Alice! I want her alive! Let them send her to me after they capture Wolf City! I want to train her myself.
!Then sell her to a brothel! Bastard!" He looked at the confidants beside him and ordered.
Everyone knows that the Earl of Beiling has a beloved daughter who is unrivaled in beauty and intelligence, and controls many properties under the Earl's name.
Many nobles covet Alice's beauty, but no one has ever proposed marriage to the Earl of Northridge. This is a strange incident in the Wright Kingdom, and there are actually quite a lot of twists and turns in it.
Because the Earl of Northridge stood on the side of the farmers and was unwilling to join forces with the nobles, no one among the established nobles wanted to have anything to do with Fishereau.
Although their children all covet the beauty of the Earl's daughter and covet Beiling's property, everyone knows that they should not have anything to do with Beiling at this time.
Becoming an in-law with Beiling, who is destined to be the target of public criticism, will obviously implicate oneself. This is definitely a loss that outweighs the gains - being lustful is one thing, being bold is another.
These aristocratic young people are not stupid. Although they are shameless and lustful, they are extremely intelligent and clear in some aspects... Even if they are not clear-headed, their elders will let them bully male bullies within reasonable limits.
Women, not sperm, have the brains to cause unnecessary trouble for the family.
In fact, these aristocratic young people are not unaware that the things they are proud of are really worthless in front of Ronin Alice.
Their so-called handsomeness was simply a firefly competing with the bright moon in front of Alice's famous beauty, and they were not on the same level at all.
Their high net worth and their tendency to spend money like water, which attracts women, obviously cannot impress Alice. After all, Alice, the only daughter of the Earl of Northridge and in charge of the family business, is much richer than them.
As for using force to bully others through robbery, these noble young people dare not even think about it. The elite Northridge Legion is well-known for their bravery, and they used force against Alice on the Northridge chassis. If they had the ability and courage,
Their parents may have laughed out of their dreams.
Therefore, everyone is waiting, waiting for the death of Earl Beiling, and then comforting the Earl's daughter openly, taking advantage of the girl's vulnerability and helplessness, to find a way to coax Ronin Alice into bed, and inherit Beiling's legacy.
After all, becoming the new Earl is the serious business.
Thinking of the portrait of Alice's side face, Keith's face showed a lustful expression: "I want all the men in the world to taste his daughter! I want all the men in the world to taste his daughter!"
When people think of the Luo Ning family, they can only think of a prostitute!"
The confidant lowered his head slightly and agreed as if he was agreeing to something that could be easily accomplished: "Yes!"
In his opinion, anyone targeted by the poisonous snake of Gith can almost be declared dead. There is no nobleman that the Cyric Consortium cannot defeat, and there is no person that the Cyric Consortium cannot kill.
After regaining his composure, Geese looked gloomy and silent, thinking about what this incident meant.
Fischerot has always been law-abiding, which is the main reason why the count himself can be calculated - a gentleman can be deceived.
As a result, the Earl, who seemed to be a gentleman in all aspects, has now begun to use extraordinary measures. It can be seen that rabbits can bite when they are anxious, and it is true that dogs can jump over walls when they are anxious.
The confidant stood aside and said: "He actually robbed all the iron ore we mined... It seems that he also knows that if he doesn't do something, it will be too late."
The war was imminent, and the clouds were gathering. Count Fischereau, who was very sensitive to war, must have had a premonition of the coming crisis.
In this case, it seems that it makes sense to do something to save yourself. However, in this case, what is the use of robbing some steel and copper ingots?
Although Beiling has a small workshop that repairs muskets, it does not have the ability to mass produce muskets on a large scale. It requires so much metal, and apart from arming some peasants with some unreliable swords, it does not seem to have much effect.
Already.
However, from another perspective, it is indeed possible to use these metals to make some cannonballs and bullets. Perhaps Fischereau plundered these materials in order to reserve more ammunition.
But what's the use of having ammunition? Once Susas's army arrives, how much trouble can Fischerot, who has lost the support of the kingdom, make?
Even if Fischereau uses his troops like a god, the war will enter a stalemate stage until the end. By that time, Beiling's agriculture will be delayed and completely collapsed, and the ammunition reserves will be exhausted. What can a team of only 1,500 people do?
Woolen cloth?
After thinking about it, Guise felt that Fischereau was just struggling to his death and had no hope of making a comeback.
But he didn't know what was going on, he just felt a little uneasy, always feeling that there must be something wrong behind Fischereau's uncharacteristic behavior.
Just as he was thinking about it and trying to piece together all the details, a subordinate came in, bowed slightly and reported: "Sir, the news just came from the Minister of Taxation, Fisherow...
The taxes that should be sent to the royal capital were not paid on time!”
"Taxes? He defaulted on taxes? This is not normal..." Gismo rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes and muttered again.
Fischerot did not often default on the kingdom's taxes. In fact, it was only during the autumn harvest that he would stand up for the farmers and temporarily default on part of the kingdom's taxes. Even so, Fischerot always paid the kingdom's taxes in full.
So his credibility has always been very good.
But now, at this special time, Keith still smelled something unusual from this default.
"He is preparing for war... and he is preparing for war more urgently than before!" Guis said to himself: "He now has a large sum of money in his hand, and many strategic materials... iron ingots, copper ingots,
There are also bristles, leather, and grain from Beiling...it's quite a lot."
"If we are really revived by him, wouldn't we have to plan again for a long time? No! How can you not die..." Geese paced, walking in the room.
"You! Go to the workshop and let them tamper with a batch of muskets! Make sure this batch of muskets are all scraps!" Soon, he stopped, looked at the subordinate who came in to report, and said
He ordered: "Then go through the door and make sure that this batch of goods will be sent to Beiling!"
"Aren't you preparing for war? Then I will give you a batch of unusable muskets! Hehehehe... I want to see what you can use to fight the army of the Kingdom of Susas!" Geese proudly put the gun in his hand
The spared wine glass was placed back on the table, with a conceited smile on his face.
He knew that Fischereau had been applying for new muskets and various supplies earlier. He wrote to His Majesty the King, claiming that the situation on the border was tense and that North Ridge was actively preparing for war.
The kingdom has never agreed to Fischereau's request before, so it has never allocated new weapons to him.
Now, Giese plans to give Fischerot a surprise: He plans to give Fischerot a batch of scrapped weapons so that he can learn what it means to "add insult to injury."
At the same time, one of Guise's confidants jumped out of the carriage in front of the Baron Stella's mansion not far from Bunas, straightened his clothes, and asked his entourage to hand over his name card.
Baron Stella's concierge lowered his head and glanced at Cyric's logo on the name card. He didn't dare to show his face, and immediately trotted to find Baron Stella who was still awake: "My lord! Sir! Sirik's name."
Someone from the Ke Consortium is here! Right outside the door! He wants to see you!"
