Chapter 115: Shocking Conspiracy
Mo Xinke slowly walked towards Han Jin, but his gait was somewhat strange. People with good eyesight could see that his hands and legs were slightly trembling, his eyes wandering aimlessly as if thinking about something.
"What just happened?" Lang Ning couldn't help but ask Mo Xinkou.
Mo Xinkai, however, ignored Lang Ning and walked straight past her, standing behind Han Jin. He stretched out his hand to pat Han Jin's shoulder, but for some reason, he stopped in mid-air. After a moment, he slowly withdrew his hand again.
"Raphael, from today on, my life is yours." Mosike said in a hoarse voice.
"Huh?" Han Jin's gaze had been fixed on Xanthe in the distance, and it wasn't until he heard Mo Xinko's words that he turned back around, his face full of surprise as he looked at Mo Xinko.
"Huh?!" Lang Ning was also stunned, but he immediately realized that Mo Xinkuo's narrow escape from death must have something to do with Han Jin! Otherwise, the usually carefree Mo Xinkuo wouldn't speak in such a heavy tone.
"From today on, my life is yours!" Mo Xinkuo repeated again, he couldn't describe the kind of fear that came with dying and being reborn, finally, all the excitement and impulsiveness turned into a kind of gratitude that was almost overwhelming, he felt that only promises could express the emotions he wanted to convey.
Han Jin looked at Mo Xinke seriously for a while, then smiled: "Mo Xinke, your current appearance... makes people feel a bit unaccustomed to it."
"Really?" Moxinke scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. Some things, as long as you do them, don't need to be said out loud. Moxinke chuckled: "Then... Raphael, grant me another life!"
"Did you...?" Han Jin cried and laughed: "Have you learned your lesson?"
"Got it!" Mo Xinkai nodded seriously: "Damn! Shouldn't have wasted words with him, should've just charged up and hacked him!!"
At this time, Xian Ni'er had already walked over, she looked up and down at Mo Xin Ke, smiling: "Mo Xin Ke, you're really... okay now?"
"I'm doing great now!" Mo Xinko swung his sword in a flourish: "Look!"
"Raphael, you've created a miracle." Xanthe's face was full of admiration: "To be honest, when you added magic to Mosinco, I didn't believe that such a miraculous magic existed in the world. You... have overturned most people's common knowledge of magic!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, with several people's eyes fixed on Han Jin. If an outsider were to hear this, they would definitely think that Xian Ni Er was a rebel, a blasphemer. Because there is only one existence that can break through magical common sense and not be bound by rules, and that is... God!
A loud crash woke up Xian Ni Er and the others, the guards of the merchant group had been killed, several soldiers went to search the overturned carriages, just as they opened the carriage cover, dozens of heavy armor rolled out from inside.
Lang Ning's expression immediately became solemn, and the soldiers hastily went to check other carriages. Indeed, the goods loaded in the remaining carriages were all military supplies, including bundles of arrows, long swords, spears, and some carriages were also loaded with strange metal parts that the soldiers couldn't figure out what they were used for.
"Oh heavens...... General! General!" A soldier who had jumped onto the roof of the carriage suddenly shouted wildly, even forgetting to keep it a secret: "Demon crystal cannon! There's a demon crystal cannon inside!!"
Xian Ni'er and Lang Ning simultaneously took a cold breath, they were both military personnel, very clear about the purpose and power of the magic crystal cannon, no longer caring about anything else, they stepped forward and rushed towards that horse carriage.
Lang Ning jumped onto the carriage, using a nearly rude motion to push the soldier away. He looked inside and saw that the two magic crystal cannons were quietly hiding in the dark, their sleek and smooth barrels and black muzzles giving Lang Ning a dizzying feeling.
"General! There's a crystal cannon here too!" Another soldier shouted twenty meters away.
"Shut up!" Lang Ning bellowed with all his might, his gaze involuntarily falling on the two remaining merchants. What were they trying to do? Where did they get their military supplies?!
On this night, the guard at the garrison of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments of the Furious Stream Army was exceptionally tight. From any angle, you could see at least dozens of fully armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Han Jin, Xian Ni Er, Sa Su Ou, including Lei Zhe and Lang Ning, sat around the long table, discussing something in a low voice, the atmosphere was very heavy.
Boge and Justine, under the torture of those thugs in the military law team, have already told all the secrets they knew. For fear of omission, Han Jin and Lei Zhe went to interrogate them separately again. These two people are not easy to deal with, but Han Jin's approach is more gentle and full of modern humanistic atmosphere, while Lei Zhe's approach is much bloodier.
Borg and Justine were tortured beyond recognition, and what they revealed was earth-shattering!
After getting to know Leizhe and helping him regain some military power, Han Jin had thought of establishing his foundation in the Beit Alliance, relying on Leizhe's army to gradually expand and grow. In other territories, the lord was an absolute existence, he couldn't do anything underhand, but the four city masters of the Beit Alliance were mutually suspicious and contradictory, where there were contradictions, there were opportunities!
Unfortunately, there are many clever people in the world. What he can think of, others can also think of; what he can see through, others can also see through! Moreover, that person not only thought of it and saw through it but had already started taking action more than a decade ago!
He was the Chief of Security in Bait City, Woodrow. As Woodrow's eldest grandson, Bog had access to many of his secrets. When these were revealed before Han Jin and others, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Woodrow's plan is so thorough, with such vicious intentions, and the details are so intricate, with so many layers of setup, it's simply breathtaking!
The four city lords took turns to control the political affairs of Bait City, but the position of Chief Security Officer was always held by Woodrow. He was very good at getting along with people and skillfully shuttled between several city lords, always showing his prestige and potential in a timely manner, and seemed very obedient and docile. Therefore, no matter which city lord was in power, they would only think of getting along well with Woodrow, so that they could gain the greatest benefits in Bait City, and would not try to replace the Chief Security Officer.
For over a decade, Woodrow had been quietly striving for his ideals, extending his tentacles into various fields without making anyone feel threatened. When Commander Conard was still alive, he often praised Woodrow, and the four city lords also had a good impression of him. Whenever people talked about Woodrow, almost everyone would say that Woodrow was a good person, an extremely good person!
It's nothing to deceive Colonel Connard, for a gentleman can be deceived with reason, but being able to deceive those few old slippery heads is absolutely not something to be underestimated.
Han Jin and the others felt a chill to their bones, not because of Woodrow's current strength, but that inhuman endurance, as if they had seen a poisonous snake quietly lurking there!
Rudolf is Woodrow's confidant and the future commander of the Storm Legion, which Woodrow has already decided on. There are indeed people in the Beit Alliance who collude with Zaguneid, and that person is Woodrow! When the armies of the four city lords launch a counterattack, it will be Woodrow's chance to make his move, and he will seize control of all four fortified cities at once. As for the capital city of Beit, he has long been its uncrowned king.
The situation is clear, and the logic is easy to understand. Zakharenko's original ally, Marischenko, feels uneasy and has shown signs of parting ways with Zakharenko. Zakharenko urgently needs to find new allies, and naturally, he quickly reached an agreement with Woodrow.
Everyone saw the destructive harm of Zaguined, why couldn't Woodrow see it? It's easier to understand because this is his only chance after he really grasped power to split with Zaguined and Zaguined didn't have any illusions about their future either. He just needed a period of convalescence.
What's even more astonishing is that many people know Woodrow as a magician, but he rarely shows his true strength and has no chance to fight for life and death with others. People only think of Woodrow as a wizard, at most a sage, but in fact, Woodrow is a tenth-level great magician!
When Laito used a red-hot iron to flip over Bog's little brother, not only did he let out some dirty secrets, but also the top-secret information. After Rudolf was killed, this matter should have been handled by his father Shazo, as the eldest son, Shazo was eager to make a big move, but as the eldest grandson of the main house, Bog was even more anxious, after Woodrow became the lord, who would be the most deserving heir? This answer, they were willing to fight for with everything.
Wude had planned for his whole life, but he hasn't made a move yet. The secret has been leaked by his own grandson, and although the extent of the harm is still unknown, one thing cannot be denied - the significance of education is really too important...
As for some other minor issues, they were also reached a consensus as smoothly as water flowing into a ditch. For example, how could Bogie possibly release the Ice Cone technique instantly? Who made those magic crystal cannons? Sasou has always been diligent and got help from Han Jin, now he has become a 6th rank mage, which is already surprising enough. Bogie looks like a idle rich young master, how did he become a 7th rank sage? Can talent decide everything?
"What should we do?" Lang Ning asked softly, his eyes falling on Han Jin, because compared to others, Han Jin's expression was the most relaxed.
"Anyway, we are going to Black Crow City, this place has no effect on us." Han Jin paused: "But... Lang Ning said that we will come back in the future. Do you think it's better for us if the Beit Alliance is controlled by the four city masters separately, or if Woodro becomes the lord?"
"Of course, it is controlled by four city masters separately." Lang Ning said.
"That's simple, the Ninth Town belongs to West City, we can send someone to invite Lord Winston over and let him take a look at our spoils himself, he can ask Borg what to do, he knows better than us."
"Woody is a great magician!" Sasori said with a chuckle.
"Do you think Xia Zuo would tell Woodrow about these things?" Han Jin smiled and said, "Does he want to be replaced by another brother? While he was desperately hiding all this, we might have left already."
Han Jin's words opened everyone's mouth, and the situation didn't seem so urgent after all. Then one by one, they proposed various suggestions...
