Chapter 434 The Revenge of the "Bandits"!
After the banquet, the group said goodbye to everyone in the Judgment Department of Mana City and returned to the hotel where they settled.
At about the same time, something had just begun.
When the moon in the sky crossed the atrium, Brand, who was slightly troubled, put down the remains of the magic crossbow in his hand.
Because there is no "recovery potion" like my teacher's.
If he doesn't sleep at night, he will still have some low energy.
However, there is no need to stay up late now.
He has basically studied the specific functions of each part of the magic crossbow.
I have to say that the technical content of this thing is quite high.
Brand also doesn’t know whether the library can carry out counterfeiting.
There is no problem in the field of rune magic circle.
However, there is no guarantee in other areas.
In addition, this thing can be regarded as providing him with a certain reference for simplifying the wind element magic force field.
The spell version of the Wind King's incarnation also has a clear research direction.
Just as Brand was thinking about follow-up research matters.
He suddenly felt heavy and dense footsteps coming from the street outside the window.
In doubt, Brand came to the window.
——A group of heavily armed soldiers were seen patrolling along the street.
After blinking in confusion, Brand glanced at other places in the city.
What surprised him was that
many areas in Mana City were brightly lit.
——Did something happen?
Lying on the wooden window sill, looking around.
Finn's voice suddenly reached his ears:
"Brand? It's so late and you haven't rested yet?"
Brand followed the sound and saw on the window sill not far to the side:
wearing pajamas and looking sleepy. Finn had half of his body exposed and was looking towards him in surprise.
Suddenly hearing Finn's question, Brand wanted to say something like "just woke up" in order to make himself appear more gregarious.
However, after looking at his regular clothes, he still shrugged helplessly and explained:
"There have been a lot of things recently, so I have been busy."
Hearing this, Finn said with emotion:
"You are indeed a diligent Bran. De! Unlike me, I rested long ago."
After hearing what Finn said, Brand couldn't help but feel envious.
——He also wants to rest early!
While the two were chatting, another group of heavily armed soldiers walked along the street.
As if aware of their gazes, the leading soldier reminded:
"The city is under martial law. Unrelated personnel should not go out at will!"
After saying this, without waiting for the two people to respond, the soldiers continued to move forward with their men.
After watching the pair of patrolling soldiers walk away.
Finn scratched his head and said,
"Let's go find Harward and ask him. With such a big movement, he should have woken up." ...
After
a while, the Secret Society of Light came to perform the mission this time. The Master Academy and others gathered in the lobby of the hotel.
—Harward was not at the hotel.
The clerk at the hotel told him that
he had been awakened by his companions before the martial law was imposed in Mana City, and then went to the Judgment Division's headquarters to wait.
Because this hotel is also one of the properties of the Judgment Department, they also learned part of the current situation from the clerk:
several towns in the southern part of the empire and near the border were attacked by unknown bandits.
Not long ago, the local lord Samir Cockburn ordered that
all towns and cities in Cockburn's territory enter a state of martial law!
After learning this fact, Tinian was a little confused and asked:
"Didn't the bandits just be wiped out? Is there also a problem with the large war array of the Kaya Empire? Are there still bandits that have not been detected?"
Finn shook his head. Said:
"I think these bandits who attacked the town should have come from abroad. Their purpose may be to avenge yesterday's incident."
Seeing Tinian's doubts, Finn further explained:
"Our Kaya Empire has always I suspect that the bandits we eliminated before were not just bandits.
A more likely scenario is that because we are about to embark on a pioneering war, other forces want to hold us back and divert our energy." Hearing
this , With such an inside story, Tinian couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this time, Javier also said:
"If it involves a clear conflict of interest between countries, we will not get involved until we get clear instructions from the top of the Secret Society of Light. So
if there are related actions in the future, we will I'm afraid I can't get involved."
After hearing this, Finn quickly waved his hand and said,
"You're overthinking this matter. It's not our little shrimps' turn to take care of this matter. We just need to stay in the hotel."
After a moment of silence, Tinian spoke again:
"Aren't those bandits colluding with the undead? Your Kaya Empire can seize this matter and summon allied countries to attack each other, right?" After hearing
Tinian's suggestion, Finn shook his head regretfully and said:
"Although it is indeed what you said, the premise is that we know who the other party is and provide evidence of colluding with the undead. Now
those undead who host the black market have already Escaped the Kaya Empire.
In addition, according to what Harward said, yesterday morning, the bandit knight was finally killed by the noble family heads instead of being captured. Judging
from this, the other party probably eliminated them very carefully. Anything that might reveal your identity."
After hearing Finn's explanation, Tinian nodded suddenly.
——When they knew that the identity of the other party was doubtful, the heads of the noble families were of course more willing to capture the other party than to kill him!
Under such premise, the bandit knight was still killed, which actually explains some problems.
——The great knight was unwilling to be captured without mercy, and he protected the secret with his life!
——It allows people of the level of the Great Knight to use their lives to protect secrets. In the entire human alliance, I am afraid that only forces like the Empire have such ability and courage!
There are only so many empires in the Human Alliance. From this point of view, the top management of the Kaya Empire may have already suspected the target, but they have not yet completely determined it.
At this time, Brand couldn't help but fell into deep thought while listening to several people chatting.
Compared to Finn Harwell and others, he knows a little more about the situation.
——The undead who presides over the black market did not escape from the Kaya Empire, but were captured by him, and are now under the control of the Kaya Empire's Military Affairs Department.
In addition, according to the interrogation results of the Military Affairs Department, although the undead also realized that the person they were cooperating with was not an ordinary person, they did not know the specific identity of the other party.
Similarly, it is very likely that
the bandits and the forces behind them do not know the identities of the undead black market workers.
——Colluding with the undead is a major crime in the Farnes Continent and will be met with common hostility from all races and countries!
From this point of view, it is unlikely that the other party will cooperate with the other party even if they know the identity of the other party's undead.
Finally, to sum up, their Kaya Empire has actually secretly mastered the "evidence" that the other party is colluding with the undead, but they just don't know who the other party is yet!
If yesterday morning's battle didn't get them the information they wanted.
Now is a great opportunity to make amends!
Of course, although this is true, they must also be able to seize this opportunity.
——When their opponents are also the Human Empire, they may not be able to get what they want smoothly.
