Chapter537 The Emerald Territory is doing its job, and those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy!
The rune fragments began to melt the moment they came into contact with the body. Perhaps they were of the same origin as the rune fragments that had been fused on Kiriwei Island. This time, Lester was not dragged into any strange world by the rune fragments.
When the rune fragments in his hand completely disappeared, Lester could clearly feel that his burnt body was healing at a faster pace. The only skeleton left in his body was sprouting at an alarming rate. Judging from the recovery power alone,
, Lester knew that he might have entered the level of a master.
The flames were still burning, and Lester, who was unable to move, sat cross-legged on the ground and waited for his body to recover.
The fire in the hotel finally attracted the attention of the Shurima Caravan Alliance. The pressure from the Noxian Emerald Leader and the repeated arsonists made the people of the Caravan Alliance unable to sit still.
Groups of double-armed soldiers dressed in desert-style clothing ran from all directions on the street. Under the orders of the knights on horseback, more than a hundred soldiers surrounded the hotel from the inside out. Everyone had a look on their face.
Looking solemnly at the burning hotel, those who knew the inside story of the burning Noxus cargo ship would certainly know who caused the disaster that shocked the dock.
"I am Vader Bell! I have been ordered by the Caravan Alliance to thoroughly investigate the burning incident of the Albis Hotel! Everyone, stay back! Cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation! Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot!"
Shouting murderous words, the bearded Shurima knight felt particularly troubled as he looked at the crowd who still chose to join in the fun. God knows there are several powerful bosses among those people who he can't afford to offend.
,
Sometimes his toughness cannot be well implemented by his subordinates, because the composition of Vazuan is very complex, which is so complex that even a native Shuriman finds it difficult.
Thanks to the advantage of the strait that connects the Sea of Watchers and the Sea of Conqueror, most ambitious and capable people can make a lot of money just sitting on the dock, and they are full of oil. This also means that they are targeted.
There are many powerful forces in Vazuan. Noxus, Demacia, and Shurima warlords all chose to establish their own forces in Vazuan.
During the most turbulent days, there was no way to navigate Vazuan, and several factions were undercurrents. During the day, they sent troops and generals to capture the territory and ports, and at night, they sent assassins and scouts to assassinate without any bottom line.
In order to compete for power, several major forces killed Wazuan and shed blood. When it came to matters involving countless gold coins, even the Demacians who claimed to be a model of nobility could not keep their butts and mobilized groups of people.
A group of Outcasts fought against the Noxian and Shurima warlords.
Coupled with the fact that exiles and absconding criminals from other places muddied the waters, disputes and riots seriously affected Wazuan's port trade business and the daily lives of the people. Everyone realized that the never-ending fighting would only completely destroy Wazuan.
Zaun then chose to stop and signed a peace treaty to jointly control Vazuan.
As the 'host', the Shurima warlords naturally took the lead in forming an armed caravan alliance. Each member of the caravan alliance can station a part of their armed forces in their designated locations to safeguard their own interests.
In addition to the joint representatives of the Shurima warlords, the main members of the alliance include the six major forces of Demacia, Noxus, the Kingdom of Gran, the Principality of Valoran, the Principality of Valkos and the Kingdom of Northland.
Merchant ships passing through Vazuan will pay taxes to the Vazuan Caravan Alliance in the form of trade taxes. The taxes will be settled at the end of each quarter. The Shurima warlords will get 20%, and the other six countries will get 20%.
10%, and the remaining 20% is used for the daily maintenance expenses of the caravan alliance.
After the disputes were settled, Wazuan, which had gained peace and tranquility, became prosperous again. However, there were still many problems with the hastily signed agreements and treaties at that time. The seven major forces were nominally dominated by the host Shurima warlords, but secretly
But no one is convinced by anyone, and they often make small moves and frictions.
Most of the time, the seven major forces are in a state of self-sufficiency. On weekdays, they just deal with some blind bandits and robbers, muddle along, as long as they distribute the money on time.
If things go on like this, the Caravan Alliance will become more of a security force that divides wealth than an armed force. Naturally, it cannot be expected to have much prestige.
Fortunately, most people are very considerate in emergencies.
With this thought in mind, a voice came from the southeast corner of the soldier's fence that made Vader's vision darken.
“Back off! Back off!
I tell you to back off!
ah!
You dare to hit me? I'm going to kill you!
"
"So what if I hit you!? Let me tell you! This is the Emerald Territory doing business! Even if Leandre is here, he has to get away from me! If something happens to the adult in the hotel, everyone here will have to
Buried with him!
All Emerald Territory soldiers obey the order! Form a shield wall to protect the Black Lightning Mage as he advances! Anyone who blocks the way will be killed without asking! I, Milton, will bear the consequences myself!"
"go ahead!
"
"go ahead!
"
"Anyone who blocks his path will be shot to death!
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shurima double-edged spearman who had just screamed was beheaded by the Noxian sword, and the blood of the headless body spurted two meters high.
Amidst the uproar and horrifying screams, more than fifty armed Emerald Territory soldiers solemnly protected the ten Black Lightning mages and began to advance forward with frightening efficiency, like the most ruthless killing machine.
I have witnessed with my own eyes that the threat of the Emerald Territory is not just an empty talk like the caravan alliance. The Shurima soldiers who usually spend their time collecting military expenses have no fighting spirit at all. When the military formation approaches, they all begin to retreat.
The Mar soldiers made way for the Emerald Leader's army, and even the onlookers took the initiative to stay away from the Emerald Leader's army. They had heard that the Emerald Leader was very domineering, but they didn't expect it to be so unreasonable.
Just treat the caravan alliance as nothing.
Hearing the thrilling threat in his ears, Vader's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly jumped off his horse and ran over with small steps. General Leander was the representative of the Caravan Alliance of Noxus stationed in Vazuan, and he didn't even let Leander go.
In my eyes, I am afraid that the person coming here is really a big shot in the Emerald Territory.

Vader, who was blocking the front of the military formation, tried his best to maintain the most friendly smile, but before he could finish his words, the Emerald Territory soldiers at the front had silently raised their magic steel sabers, and saw overwhelming killing intent coming towards them.
, Vader, whose hands and feet were cold, could no longer think of anything to say, and rolled and crawled out of the way.
Seeing that their commander was also a coward, the morale of the soldiers of the Caravan Alliance was even lower. From then on, no one dared to block the military formation commanded by Milton.
After successfully advancing to the innermost part of the hotel, Milton issued another order.
"Black Lightning's mages began to extinguish the fire, and the remaining soldiers were responsible for guarding. No one is allowed to approach our cordon!"
"General Vader, are we just going to watch them show off their power? Berkeley was just killed like that!"
The look of his men gnashing their teeth made Vader feel deeply humiliated, but due to Jade's superiority, he did not dare to show it, so he could only say calmly.
"Go and inform General Leandre to talk about what's going on here. By the way, help me ask what role he plays with women in Vazuan where he sings and dances every day, or is it that Noxus is ready to withdraw from the business?"
Caravan Alliance, don't forget, when we signed the agreement, we said that any force that violates the rules of the Caravan Alliance will be expelled by other forces. Tell him these words and bring me his answer.
.”
"clear."
"Wait...you come back."
"General Vader?"
"Your tone should be more tactful, do you understand?"
Watching his men leave, Vader could only humiliately set up an encirclement ten meters away from the perimeter of the Emerald Leader's formation. There were still mages from the Emerald Leader's formation who began to release water element magic on a large scale.
Amidst the surging undercurrent, the hotel's flames were finally extinguished by the water curtain. Milton began to organize people to search for Lester. Most of the structures had been severely damaged by the flames. The second and third floors had collapsed. It didn't take much effort.
Soon, several people found Lester sitting cross-legged on the ground in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
At this moment, Lester's whole body was like a black charcoal sculpture. Blood and flesh were constantly surging from the charred and cracked skin. The black charred skin peeled off from the skin like a snake shedding. The terrifying scene in front of him made Mir
He was a little at a loss. If the God-killing Blade hadn't been at the feet of the Black Carbon Man, he might not have been able to confirm whether the creature in front of him was a human or a ghost.
"Lord Liszt? You...you..."
Milton's question did not receive any response. After taking a deep breath, Milton decided to maintain the formation and wait for Lester to slowly recover.
"You guys, protect Mr. Liszt and don't let others see what Mr. Liszt looks like now."
"clear."
…
In a seaside villa in Vazuan, the fat Leander was leisurely leaning on the arms of the maid, enjoying the feeding of the Shurima maid. As the foreign general of Noxus in Vazuan,
He enjoys his leisurely life now,
There is no order from the Supreme Command, there is no endless war, there is no need to look at the terrifying face of the Empire General Burnham,
In the Immortal Fortress, he was just the second son of a small warlord family who could not inherit the rights, but in Wazuan, he was a local emperor who could ride on most people's heads and be the groom every night.
This lucrative job is very popular in Noxus. Even for the family, it is not easy to get this kind of job. Fortunately, he has not only made back his money over the years, but also made a lot of wealth for the family.
, even if he goes back now, his wealth is enough to get a powerful villa with sunlight on the upper level of the underground city of the Immortal Fortress, and win the warm embrace of countless Noxian beauties.
Good days always pass easily. For Leander, his good days ended when the shit messenger of the Caravan Alliance knocked on his door.
After frowning and listening to Vader's envoy explaining his purpose, Leander's expression darkened, and the maid on the side stepped away with a wink, leaving enough room for Leander to talk.
"Haha, tell me, Leander, to get away. Even Marshal Burnham here probably wouldn't have such a loud tone...
Hayden, if I remember correctly, those people from the Emerald Territory were putting pressure on you about the cargo ship incident a few days ago. Who are they? Have you figured it out?"
The thin Shurima man named Hayden shook his head.
"That group of people has been keeping a low profile since they set foot on the land of Vazuan. We also sent people to contact the other party, but they were rejected. However, there was a person who claimed to be Milton just now. He is not very knowledgeable.
Has General Leander ever heard of this Milton?"
"Milton, Milton..."
After reciting Milton several times, Leander shook his head at Hayden, who looked expectant, with a serious face.
"I didn't hear about this person when I was in the Immortal Fortress. I'm afraid this Milton is some low-key character. Didn't those high-minded emerald-collar men say who the big shot is in the hotel?"
"I didn't say it, but in my opinion, no matter how big a person is, he will be reduced to a pile of ashes in such a fire. That big person... I'm afraid he won't survive."
"Haha, one by one, it's better to burn those bastards like the Emerald Territory to death. If it weren't for taking advantage of the founding war, the Emerald Territory would not exist in the world at all, and the territory of Noxus would not exist at all.
The state of Noxus does not pay taxes, does not pay grain, does not accept conscription, does not participate in Noxus' foreign wars, but often divides the empire's spoils, and even the luxury goods of the empire's top dignitaries have extremely high quotas.
In my opinion, the Emerald Territory is just a country chicken that only knows how to show its teeth and claws. When Marshal Burnham frees up his hands, the Emerald Territory will be returned to the rule of Noxus sooner or later."
"Well...General Leander, after all, the Emerald Territory is also a part of Noxus. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to say that in front of me, right?"
"Bah! What's inappropriate?"
Leandre spat thick phlegm on the ground, stood up from his seat, and said with a sinister look on his face.
"It's because they don't take me, Leandre, seriously. Our noble and arrogant Emerald Territory adults seem to have forgotten that this is Wazuan, not their Emerald Territory! They don't give me face, so why should I give them face?"
?”
"So, what are you going to do?"
"How to do it? I am the spokesperson of Noxus in Vazuan! The Emerald Leader is a fool!
Listen Hayden, Noxus will naturally not violate the rules of the Caravan Alliance. Even people from the Emerald Territory must accept punishment for killing people in Vazuan. Just follow the rules of the Caravan Alliance. The murderer,
Just pay with your life."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, a complimenting smile appeared on Hayden's face.
"With your words, I can reply to Lord Vader."
"Haha, that's easy to say! Compared to those bastards in the Emerald Territory who are swindling in the name of Noxus, we are the closest allies, aren't we?"
The fat white man who slandered Noxus in his heart made loud noises, but Hayden smiled calmly on his face.
"Yes, General Leander, there is nothing wrong with what you said. We are our closest allies."
