Strange Star Witch

The next meeting was even more interesting, because the voting gap became very narrow, proving that the previous negotiations were very reluctant.

Due to the poor performance of the police department and the judicial department, the Alchemy Council decided to remove the former police chief and judicial director from their positions.

Claude became the new police chief with a slim vote, and Claude was promoted again. Rudolph felt that he was the protagonist of the story.

The Director of the Tribunal has also changed. The original Director Jem was dismissed and the new Director was named Arden. However, Rudolph could not see any depression on Jem’s face. Rudolph guessed that Speaker Quint must have a certain regard for him.

There are new arrangements.

After the meeting, a police officer informed Rudolph and asked him to go to the deputy speaker's office.

The deputy speaker's office is very spacious, with three bays and three large windows.

There was a sofa in front of the last window. Claude sat there and gestured to Rudolph who came in to sit next to him.

Opposite Claude and Rudolph, Deputy Speaker Abel was deep in thought on the sofa. There were only three of them in the room at this time.

"First meeting, Rudolf."

"Hello, Mr. Abel."

When he saw Rudolf, Abel's mood improved slightly: "Rudolf, I am so grateful to you. It was you who saved the Dordo District this morning regardless of sacrifice."

Claude suddenly felt nervous, afraid that Rudolf would say: So, is there any reward?

According to Claude's understanding of Rudolph, the value of the title "Outstanding Citizen" depends on how much the badge can be sold for.

"It should be. Everything is what Director Claude taught us before. When we came to Mang Town, Claude, who was still the police chief at the time, kept telling us that we must keep the majority of people in our hearts. In this way

Only then can you be a good patrol officer.”

Claude seldom blushed, but now he was coughing, and the heat on his face made his hair float. Damn it, he might as well ask for a reward from the teacher...

Abel knew Claude. Claude might be good at teaching others certain skills, but it was hard to imagine that Claude would ask his subordinates to risk their lives for the Dordo District.

It's a pity that Abel is not in the mood now, he just smiled, otherwise he would have teased Claude a few words.

He looked at Rudolf and said:

"Rudolf, Claude and I have been to Vichy, the county town, in the past week to ask the Constitutional Army to support Fabro City. We cannot accurately grasp what is happening here. Rudolf, do you have anything?

Important findings?”

Rudolf was about to speak, but just when he opened his mouth, he heard someone knocking on the door. He saw Ivy coming in, holding a document for Deputy Speaker Abel to sign.

Deputy Speaker Abel noticed that Rudolf had stopped talking, frowned slightly and said to Ivy: "Ivy, go to the Alchemy Academy now and take a look. Don't make trouble in the Alchemy Academy at this time."

Ivy nodded and left the office.

"Okay, Rudolf, you can continue."

Rudolf asked, "Can I say anything?"

Claude took over: "Of course, Rudolph, you can say anything. Now is the time when information is most lacking."

Rudolf received an encouraging look from Deputy Speaker Abel before continuing:

"Mr. Deputy Speaker, I think there are two things that confuse me. These two things are not the wolf tide, nor are they the catastrophe directed by the Reifno family."

Deputy Speaker Abel and Claude both became serious. Is there anything more serious than these two things?

"The first thing is that the Tribunal suddenly became incompetent.

In my impression, or in previous records, the Tribunal has always been the most powerful department under the Alchemy Council. Whether it is combat effectiveness or intelligence collection, it can form a powerful deterrent to all heretics in Fabro City.

However, the Tribunal has been extremely incompetent in recent times, so incompetent that my vigilance has dropped a lot recently, and I feel that it is impossible for the Tribunal to do anything to me.

Of course, I know this is an illusion and the trial court deliberately behaved so slowly."

The Tribunal has always been the sphere of influence of Speaker Quint, and Deputy Speaker Abel does not have much influence on the Tribunal.

"The second thing, I think is probably the more critical thing.

As far as I know, Thor Mining Company was extremely busy before the Wolf Tide, and they opened a new Thor Trading Company.

Viscount Savant also opened a new trading company, called Rondeau Trading Company. The company's headquarters was renovated from a mansion in Rondeau district that was owned by Viscount Savant.

It is clear that a catastrophe is coming, but these forces are setting up trading companies one after another. Who are they trading with? What are they trading with?

In the blood-fog night in the early hours of the morning, even the central district where the parliament is located was attacked by vampires, but the wealthy Brown District acted as if nothing happened. I don't believe it if you say there is nothing fishy here."

This is also the reason why Rudolph wants to avoid Ivy. Ivy is the third daughter of the Thor family and it is impossible for her to be indifferent to the family's affairs.

Deputy Speaker Abel covered the lower half of his face with his hands and rubbed his eyelids.

Rudolph didn't say anything, and neither did Claude. They kept waiting for Deputy Speaker Abel.

Deputy Speaker Abel showed his eyes, filled with pain and helplessness.

After a while, Abel said:

"Rudolf, the place you focus on is indeed the most critical place..."

My friends in Vichy told me not to mess around lately to avoid getting into trouble.

Fabbro City, or Vichy County, or even some people at a higher level are pushing for something. They want a port city that can help them obtain resources in the wilderness.

The minerals and oil fields that have been discovered by various kingdoms and republics all have owners, but the wilderness that occupies one-third of the continent is an ownerless resource.

The forces in the wilderness are very difficult to deal with. Werewolves are outnumbered. The vampires have numerous castles in the wilderness. If you go deep into the wilderness, you can encounter high-level evil god priests. There are even several evil gods themselves deep in the wilderness.

If you want to develop the wilderness, you need to station troops and send troops to protect transportation lines. This is too costly and too high.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the Mogwen Empire in the north has sent troops into the wilderness and is determined to develop the resources in the wilderness. This news has put great pressure on other kingdoms.

It was the same in the Carolingian Kingdom, some people were interested in those resources.

It is so difficult to implement it. The vampires and werewolves in the wilderness have no plans to deal with the Alchemy Council. Both sides have blood feuds, so it is not easy to talk together.

However, there is an alternative among the vampires, Reifno, who has been staying in Fabro City. There is also an alternative among the werewolves, the red wolf king Weistan, who has always wanted to build a werewolf city.

I suspect that these two people contacted Quint somehow.

Quint is worried about Fabro City's delisting plan. If Fabro City can be turned into a port city, if Fabro City can be made a starting point for developing wilderness, then Quint's importance will be great.

increase.

In fact, this is also true. This time I went to Vichy and found that many people were supporting Quint.

I think the shares of Thor Trading Company must be very complicated, so complicated that many people in the county and even the province have shares in it."

Deputy Speaker Abel stared at the coffee in front of him. The coffee had completely cooled down and had no heat at all.

"Quint doesn't want to be a smuggler, even though what he does is smuggling, smuggling things from the wilderness to other cities in the kingdom, and smuggling things from the kingdom into the wilderness.

"Fabro City Redemption Law"... The so-called redemption law is nothing more than an excuse and a cover-up for the smuggling trade.

If Fabbro City is full of blood servants, werewolves, and evil gods and priests, then it makes sense that we have to deal with these people.

I think that the eighteen thousand blood servants in Fabro City will definitely be of great use, but I don’t know what Quint’s specific plan is.

Rudolf, you reminded me, I will focus on the two trading companies to see what they are planning to do."

After a period of silence, Deputy Speaker Abel sat up straight and asked Rudolph:

"Rudolf, maybe you don't know alchemists very well. Can you imagine? For profit, alchemists can do anything.

The wolf tide and the night of blood fog are just some necessary means to obtain profits. Maybe in a few days, 18,000 blood servants will be recruited by them to develop the wilderness."

Is this Fabbro City’s version of “changing rice into mulberry”?

In order to increase fiscal revenue, the embankments were broken and the fields were flooded, forcing people to plant mulberry trees. As for some people who might starve to death... that is not very important. For the sake of their own money, they can only suffer the common people...

Rudolf nodded:

"I believe it, very much. I heard a bard say:

With 50% profit, the alchemist will take desperate risks;

With 100% profit, the alchemist dares to trample all human laws;

With 300% profit, the alchemist dares to commit any crime and even risk hanging his head;

With a 500% profit, the alchemist is even willing to sell the rope that hangs him.

For the sake of the alchemist’s golden shield, I can only suffer a little more for ordinary people.”

Deputy Speaker Abel smiled bitterly:

"I can only endure the hardships of ordinary people... This sentence is so accurate. This is not a bard, this is clearly a bard philosopher..."

Claude was not good at philosophy, so he couldn't get in the conversation. After a while, he said: "Teacher, the time has come. I have to lead the way for Colonel Guyton. Let Rudolph go with him."

Abel nodded and motioned for the two of them to leave first. He was meditating alone, wondering if he could come up with any good ideas or do anything.

Claude explained on the way: "The 56th Regiment of the Constitutional Army, which came from afar, needs to rest all morning. Now it's noon, and they need to quickly launch a retaliatory attack on the werewolves and vampires. Let's go show them the way and help them read the map.

Avoid maps that are too old and inconsistent with the current terrain.”

There is also a small airship parked in the square in front of the Parliament.

Standing in front of the airship was Colonel Guyton. He was nearly 2 meters tall and his waist was straight. He looked like a professional soldier.

"Colonel Guyton, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Let's set off now."

"It's okay. My soldiers also need to rest. They had enough rest this morning before they could go to battle."

Several people boarded the small airship and flew into the sky. After leaving Fabro City, 25 airships from the 56th Regiment of the Constitutional Army were already waiting in the sky.

The small airship flew to the main ship Silver Flame. The small airship hung on the side of the main ship, and everyone also boarded the main ship.

Claude and Rudolf are just here as guides, and the 56th Regiment is responsible for the specific battles. The fleet's first target is the town of Laimang in the south of Fabro City. Laimang Town was the base camp of the werewolves a few days ago.

.

One morning was enough for the werewolves to escape. At this time, Laimang Town was in a mess, and the most common items on the streets were all kinds of clothes. It must be that the werewolves first entered the town and learned how to dress and wear hats as ordinary people.

The traces of large numbers of werewolves were easy to identify, and the airship followed the traces of werewolves outside the town.

The werewolves needed rest, but the machines did not. After chasing for three hours, the fleet finally saw a large group of werewolves. The werewolves were escaping on the hillside. Facing the large number of airships, the low-level werewolves had no room to resist.

"White phosphorus bombs! Prepare!"

For a time, hundreds of white phosphorus bombs enveloped the entire hillside. The white phosphorus bombs exploded over the hillside, bursting into silver fireworks.

White phosphorus burned on the hillside, and even the vegetation and soil were emitting white smoke. The white smoke was highly toxic phosphorus. The white phosphorus bomb was matched with the broadside cannon on the airship, with the muzzle pointing downwards, bombarding the hillside.

Three rounds of white phosphorus bombs and grenades washed the ground, melting the hillside directly, and groups of werewolves were wiped out instantly.

Those werewolves who escaped could not escape far and were shot to death by artillery or machine guns on the airship.

At this time, in the racecourse on the southern outskirts of Fabro City, Red Wolf King West was tasting steak.

A level 4 werewolf was reporting something to him.

"In other words, the 56th Regiment of the Constitutional Army attacked us first? Didn't you go to Reifno first?" The Red Wolf King was a little surprised: "Quint didn't give us a message in advance?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, majestic Wolf King, is that Quint incapable of completely controlling the Parliament?"

The Red Wolf King continued to take a bite of steak and shook his head:

"Let's not think too simply about Quint. Maybe this is also one of his plans. I have to say that this speaker is much better than us in conspiracy. This is what we have to learn from."

A man suddenly appeared outside the racecourse. He went straight into the racecourse owner's restaurant, where he saw the Red Wolf King in human form.

The person who came turned out to be Jim, the former director of the Judiciary who had just been dismissed. He said: "Dear Red Wolf King, the Speaker asked me to tell you that Colonel Guyton continued to complete his mission and solve the wolf tide, regardless of the Speaker's obstruction.

.”

The Red Wolf King knew that the fleeing wolves had suffered heavy losses, but he didn't say anything more and just said with a smile:

"There's nothing we can do about it. I can't stop that 'Blazing Guyton', so let him go. Has Mr. Speaker decided when to meet?"

Seeing Jem shaking his head, the Red Wolf King said:

"Oh, of course, Guyton is not in Fabbro City. I don't think the Speaker will come out at this time. It is very dangerous for him to see us at this time, although we will definitely not do anything to Speaker Quint.

If you have any bad intentions, let’s wait until Guyton comes back and then we can find an opportunity to talk about something.”

Watching Quint's people go away, the Red Wolf King finally said:

"Refnor is unlucky. Werewolves can still run around during the day, but vampires can't run around during the day. He must wait until his castle is bulldozed.

I think Quint will also apologize to him. A gentle apology will be given to Ravno in a timely manner.

For Quint, a weak partner is a good partner. When the time comes, he will have the absolute initiative at the negotiation table."

The level 4 werewolf couldn't help but lower his head and asked: "Then do we still need to cooperate with Quint?"

"Of course we have to cooperate. We have paid so much, don't we just want to get more resources? More meat, more people, more weapons. If we don't trade and expect the werewolves to come by themselves, the speed is too slow.

As for Quint...there is nothing we can do, the alchemist is the most greedy apostle, so he must endure it for a while and establish a trade route.

Our first goal is to control other werewolf tribes through trade. When we are strong enough, we will finally settle accounts with Quint."

After killing a large number of werewolves in a short period of time, they continued to fly into the distance.

The fleet's next target is the castle of the Reifno family.
