In the Lower Town of Muxi City, in the civilian neighborhood of Eleventh Avenue, there is the "Sly Rabbit" pub.
In the pitch-black night, several men in black robes walked to the back door of the tavern and knocked out three long and two short codes on the door panel.
The wooden door opened a crack, and a man dressed as a bartender looked out the door alertly.
The leader of the men in black took out a silver badge and shook it towards the crack of the door. The crown, sword and shield engraved on the badge made the man look relaxed.
The man then opened the door and quickly gestured to the people outside to come in as soon as possible.
Following a secret passage hidden in the wall, the man in black followed the wall to the end of the passage, opened a secret compartment on the brick wall at the end, put the badge into the groove in the secret compartment, and turned it hard.
Along with the creaking sound of the machine, a staircase leading to the underground suddenly appeared on the floor.
Carefully stepping on the stairs, the people in black walked to the lowest room and pushed open a heavy iron door.
"You're late."
Behind the iron gate, a cold voice sounded.
The leading man in black took off his hood, and it turned out to be Rutledge, the patriarch of the Dolson family.
"The wild dogs from the Security Bureau who are responsible for monitoring me suddenly changed a group yesterday." Rutledge walked into the dimly lit room, looked at the people at the long table, and said helplessly: "Get rid of them.
, it took me a lot of effort.”
Hearing Rutledge's words, someone echoed: "Yes, in recent times, the inspection intensity in Muxi City has suddenly increased a lot."
A well-dressed old man with all white hair and few teeth, holding a six or seven-year-old boy in his arms, sat at the top of the long table and said slowly: "Is it because of his return? The master of Muxi City
, that legendary holy king?"
"Minister of the Interior, Bois, there is absolutely no need to show humility or fear when you talk about that person! In the final analysis, that guy is just a bastard who got lucky!"
Rutledge turned his attention to the Howler.
A bald, fat man with cold eyes that made people shudder.
"Earl Narr, I know you have a personal grudge with Todd Fisher, but disrespecting your opponent is a taboo on the battlefield." Boans gently patted the trembling boy in his arms and whispered
Said: "What's more, your loud voice scares His Majesty."
Earl Nar gritted his teeth and said: "I still remember the scene in the palace. If it weren't for that boy who obstructed it, and that bitch Mary who seduced Guy VI, the Silver Ring Kingdom would still be standing on the earth.
, the so-called Muxi City is just a beach!"
Boans shook his head and said: "Earl, watch your words. The Silver Ring Kingdom has remained on the land of the parish for hundreds of years and has never fallen. Although Guy VI has passed away, his son is sitting here
Here, this boy will inherit His Majesty’s legacy and let the Silver Ring Kingdom rise again!”
"Let the Silver Ring Kingdom rise again!"
"Take back the land we lost!"
"Revenge against the Church!"
Listening to the noisy shouts in the room, Rutledge frowned and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this at all. In less than two months, Muxi City will hold a cabinet reelection. Originally,
We have prepared everything, and the Muxi City cabinet is almost within our grasp, but no one expected that King Muxi, who had been missing for nearly more than a year, would actually come back at this time..."
Bo Ansi said while thinking: "There is a key question before us now. Should we continue to use the cabinet reelection to gain the power to govern Muxi City, or should we take advantage of the fact that King Muxi has not found out about our plan?
Take this city in one fell swoop?”
Earl Nar stroked his gray beard and said decisively: "Do you still need to ask? Of course, we should take advantage of the fact that we still have the initiative and the enemy has not paid attention yet, and capture this city first!"
Rutledge shrugged: "Although I don't like Earl Gnar's way of doing things and speaking, but this time, I have to stand by him."
"From the day Twilight West City was founded, we have placed people in the city and used the property left over from Silver Ring City as capital to gradually strengthen the power of us Silver Ring nobles." Rutledge put his fingers on the table.
A circle is drawn on it: "Now, our potential
The power has penetrated into every industry and every block in Muxi City. The city government, cathedrals, universities, commercial streets, ports, markets and other areas all have our spies and chess pieces. As long as we are willing, we can incite them at any time.
riots or even war."
"My original idea was to wait for the Silver Circle nobles to completely take over the cabinet, and then use the Knights Council and cabinet meetings to cooperate with citizens' protests and demonstrations to eliminate those high-ranking military and government officials bit by bit..."
Earl Nar nodded vigorously and said loudly: "Yes, especially that Cumberland! Not only does he control the Muxi Knights, but he is also Todd Fisher's most loyal lackey!"
Rutledge glanced at the earl and continued: "But now, King Muxi's return has disrupted the plan... Therefore, we must launch a surprise attack to control the situation in the entire city before the other party is prepared.
"
Boans nodded: "It is indeed the only option to take action first, but the problem is how to deal with the army in the city, especially the Muxi Knights. Rutledge, you should know how terrifying that army is..."
Rutledge said: "When it comes to this matter, we all have to thank the magic of money. After several years of business, I have bribed many officers in the army. So, the biggest trouble is actually the Knights
The group of alien knights among them were loyal to the king and only obeyed the orders of Cumberland. We tried many times and finally found that we could not buy them with wealth."
Bo Ansi asked with concern: "So, how should we deal with this group of knights who are powerful but cannot be bribed?"
Rutledge drew a horizontal line with his fingertips and said with a smile: "It's very simple. Before the plan is implemented, we will divert these knights away."
Earl Nar asked: "Lead those alien species away? How to do it?"
Rutledge said confidently: "I have arranged everything, and I believe there will be news soon."
Bo Ansi said happily: "That's good. As long as this most powerful enemy force in Muxi City can be eliminated, the success rate of the plan will be greatly increased. By the way, the current situation in the city and what we have found in advance
How are the helpers doing?"
Earl Nar said first: "I signed a contract with the Magic Mountain of the Laughing Skull Pirates, and they will attack Muxi Port."
"The Blood Curse Mercenary Group from Yike Highland promised to assist in attacking the city gate."
"Governor Mayinnan promised to send ships and troops!"
"The Tisnolico tribe will come through the Falling Star Mountains to join the battle!"
Rutledge added calmly: "In the Muxi Knights and the North Island Knights, there are some chess pieces that the Dolson family has ambushed in advance. They can be responsible for opening the city gate, sniping the enemy, and attacking.
Royal City. In addition, the city security forces, the student organizations of Muxi University, anti-church radicals, kingdom separatists and other forces are all targets we can use."
A smile appeared on Bo Ansi's wrinkled face: "In my hands, there is also a Restoration Army loyal to the Yinhuan Royal Family. They are lurking in the civilian areas of Duixi City and can be transformed into civilians at any time.
Soldiers, join in the great cause of Yinhuan Kingdom! But you must be careful, there are not only us Yinhuan old officials in the city, but also many business groups and families, our plans must not be leaked..."
The boy hiding in Bo Ansi's arms saw the warm atmosphere in the room and became bolder. He shouted towards the old man: "Hungry! Cake! I want to eat cake!"
Bo Ansi said to the boy dotingly: "My Majesty, please wait a moment. After the meeting is over, I will take you to have a meal."
"No! I want to eat the cake now!" The boy slid to the ground like a fool, slapped the ground with his hands, and shouted loudly: "No meeting! I want to eat the cake!"
Rutledge looked at the imageless "Silver Ring King" on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "It's getting late, and I have to return to the mansion before midnight."
Bo Ansi picked up the boy with an embarrassed look on his face. His legs were shaking due to old age and weakness.
Rutledge put on his hood again, looked back at the boy whose makeup was stained by snot and tears, and said to himself: "Will the Silver Ring Kingdom rise again...?"
A serious meeting ended with the boy crying.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and the whole room fell into dead silence again.
In the darkness, a stone fell from the ceiling to the ground. A woman instantly appeared next to the stone. She looked at the empty secret room, slowly backed away, and finally escaped into the darkness.
