Phils walked out of the study, and a dozen family knights left with him.
The servants wanted to send 'Old Longlegs' back to the bedroom. The head of the family raised his hand to stop him and turned his eyes to the lifeless Old El.
The 'Abyss Priest' who was disguised as a human showed a contemptuous sneer, lowered his head and said to 'Old Long Legs': "According to the contract, I will not give up on your Long Legs family. Also according to the contract, your next head of the family must believe in my master.
."
‘Old Long Legs’’ arms fell weakly, and his heavy breathing was like a leaking bellows, hoarse and accompanied by a dry cough. His voice was anxious but regretful, and he was helpless.
'Old El' turned around and left, his aging body squirming like dough, and his voice was like a crazy patient, twisting and echoing in the study, "Victor Hugo, black hair, black eyes, alien race, this is the right person."
That’s what I’m mainly looking for.”
Outside the study, Phils led a team to eliminate outsiders who posed a threat to the family. When he walked along the corridor to the courtyard outside the house, and was about to order the family knights to prepare and set off, a prerequisite question appeared in his mind.
.
"Where is Victor Hugo now?"
The family knights were already in full armor, with solemn faces, waiting for a fight. After hearing Phils' inquiry, they looked at each other, and seemed to think that this was just a small problem, and someone must know about it.
right.
But... everyone looked around, but no one answered. Half a minute later, they discovered that the Supervisory Office, which is usually responsible for providing information, had not sent anyone.
"Call Fabbro, he should know better." Fiers made a decision immediately, "We assemble the team, send people to the Harmony Warehouse, and call the people from the Inspection Office at the same time."
Every time an order is issued, someone will immediately execute it. The Long-Legs family has been going smoothly in recent decades, and even if it encounters challenges, it is often external enemies. When you encounter someone like Zhou Qingfeng who comes to poach internal corners and poach them so quickly, it is indeed
Half a minute too late.
Compared with the slow mobilization of the city lord's palace, Zhou Qingfeng, who had just reached a compromise with the 'civil strife' forces, was much faster. Everyone wanted to exchange for greater benefits at the smallest possible price. The strength of the Long-Legs family is still there, whoever takes the lead first
Unlucky first.
Several chiefs of the Wizarding Group verbally promised to fully support Zhou Qingfeng's presence in Cold Wind City, and asked the Long-Legs family to eliminate the 'Abyss Priest' and dismantle this annoying institution, the Office of Supervision.
But when the chiefs returned to the Wizard's Tower, they declared 'neutral'. They used the surveillance eyes on the tower to keep an eye on what was going on in the city, waiting to see who was more unlucky before deciding who to help?
The dignitaries of Cold Wind City, headed by Old Arad, are even more thieves. They use the 'Evil Insect Sacrifice' as a trump card. They also want to dismantle the Supervision Office controlled by the 'Abyss Sacrifice', and push Zhou Qingfeng to bear the wrath of the Long Legs Family.
.
Zhou Qingfeng sneered at these petty plans. He had the smallest manpower and never thought of resisting from the beginning. After confirming the mobilization of the wizard group and the city guard, the first order he issued was...
....
retreat!
The fire has been lit, and Zhou Qingfeng doesn't want to stay in a house full of firewood. After killing evil insects on Crow Street and offering sacrifices, others thought he was going to do something big in Cold Wind City. But he was already ready to lead the team
Run away and leave the city quickly.
"Spend more money to hire people and cars, transport people and goods to towns outside the city first, and evacuate in a dispersed manner."
"Don't worry about those pots and jars. Sell the goods if they can be sold, burn them if they can't. Focus on transporting people."
"For the coolies and refugees who really cannot be transported away, just pay some traveling expenses and try to send them away. The chaos in Cold Wind City will not last long, and we still need them to come back."
What is a trench? This is a trench!
The warehouse that was finally built, the goods that were purchased with great effort, and the fruits of countless gold coins were burned. Before killing the evil insects and offering sacrifices, Zhou Qingfeng issued this order.
Rubio couldn't help but weakly persuaded: "Master, even if we want to evacuate, there is no need to burn down the warehouse, right? It took more than two hundred people to build it in nearly a month. Just burn it after it is built..."
....”
Rubio was extremely distressed, but Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "It's only worth a hundred gold coins. If you burn it, burn it. Building it is to declare, 'We are going to settle here.' Burning it is to declare, 'I would rather destroy myself.'"
It’s not going to come cheap to anyone’.”
A hundred gold coins are worthless? Rubio was dizzy when he heard this number. But the order given by Zhou Qingfeng was firm and could not be changed.
In fact, because the order-sharing business is very popular, the goods arriving at the warehouse every day will be sold out. The female slaves purchased in the early stage, the students recruited, and the coolies trained have been transported and evacuated step by step.
Due to prior arrangements, Rubio rented and purchased a large number of horses and carriages in the city, which were very convenient for transporting people and goods. He was mainly concerned about the warehouse building, which was something that could be seen.
When it is set on fire, it has a huge impact on people’s hearts!
At least when Powell saw the flames soaring into the sky, his mind went crazy. His first reaction was that the warehouse was under attack. But when he got closer, he found that the newly built two-story building was already empty, and he understood that Victor
.Hugo ran away.
As a secret agent, Powell had more sources of information. But before the operation on Crow Street in the dock area began, he noticed something was wrong from various clues.
When he learned that the Wizarding Group was actually involved in the matter, he immediately understood that the rule of the Long-Legs family was unstable and the city was about to change!
If the Wizarding Group has always "followed orders but not propaganda" and maintained considerable independence, then the City Lord's Guard should be a force firmly controlled by the Long Legs Family.
Now half of this force actually went to kill the evil insects in a semi-open ceremony without saying hello. This is tantamount to announcing to the outside world that it is out of control.
It would be strange if the Longlegs family wasn't furious about this!
But how will the furious Long-Legs family deal with the current situation? Without thinking too much, they must first kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and deal with Victor who has caused such trouble.
Powell hurried to the Harmony Warehouse just to see the head-on confrontation between the two sides, to see how strong Victor Hugo was? To see how many people in the Long-Legs family would die?
I saw a fire!
This bastard Victor Hugo turned Hanfeng City upside down, and in the end he actually ran away!
When the flames burned, the poor people in the craftsman district fled in all directions. Many evacuated coolies were grateful for the benefits given by Hugo and took the initiative to put out the fire. However, firewood was piled in the warehouse in advance, and multiple fire points broke out at the same time, making the fire uncontrollable.
Powell's mind was in a mess. He realized that the situation in Cold Wind City would not develop in the direction everyone expected. The furious Phils Long Legs must find an unlucky guy to establish his power. What would he do?
When the entire warehouse was burning with heat and the air was rumbling, Phils, who had assembled a large group of people, delayed his arrival for more than an hour. More than fifty knights and more than three hundred attendants were surrounded...
A fire scene!
Where are people?
At this moment, people thought that Victor Hugo had invested huge sums of money in Cold Wind City, but he was an outsider after all. As long as he was cruel enough, this guy could run away at any time.
