Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1021: Be in an Awkward Situation

When Slyn saw the dozen or so corpses lying flat on the ground, his expression could no longer be described as ugly. His subordinate Wright's voice was steady, but very low, and his heart was particularly heavy. "General, the count of the dead has been completed. A total of seventeen people have died," he said. Thirteen of them were confirmed to be from Geplin Manor on Heavenly Kingdom Garden Street. Among them were Mrs Grisna, Mrs Geplin's wife, her two sons, Peter the butler, and nine other servants. The other four are unidentified and await further investigation. "We can confirm that they are related to the three people killed by Sir Alan on the Seventh Avenue."

Slyn glanced at him.

"First of all, these people have masks on their faces," Witt said. Although the three corpses on Seventh Avenue had been burned beyond recognition, the ceramic fragments extracted from the corpses proved to be identical to the mask materials worn by the mysterious deceased on Garden Avenue. In addition, these people didn't have any obvious identity marks on them, so they must have deliberately concealed it. Also, judging from the weapons and tools they scattered, these people should be killers, and their strength is not too weak. "

"Naturally, it won't be too bad. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to kill the Geplins quietly." '"Where's Geplin now?" Slyn said with his forehead supported.

"It is said that Mr. Geplin left Sardinia the day before yesterday for business reasons. I have already ordered someone to inform him that he should be back in a few days."

Slyn shook his head and said, "I don't know how to speak to Geplin. How did this happen. What about the rest of Garden Street?"

'"Very bad. I don't know who used a powerful ability or weapon. In short, more than half of Garden Avenue has been razed and there are two estates involved. Fortunately, no one has been injured. But now, the grand masters are very angry and ask why we let this happen in the Garden of Heaven." Wright smiled bitterly.

Slyn sighed and said, "What did Sir Alan say?"

"He didn't say anything," Wright replied. "He just said that the three victims attacked him and he killed them."

"What a casual kill …" Slyn sneered. "It started in the Heavenly Garden. I don't know what kind of people live there. Any of those people have anything to do with this knight? After the battle in the Heavenly Kingdom Garden, there was also evidence that there was a chase between Garden Street and Seventh Avenue. Quite a few people had witnessed this. It was not an attack aimed at Allen, but rather, it was as if the knight was hiding something. Or are you protecting the targets that the killers are chasing? "

Wright thought for a moment and said, "How about I invite him over?"

"What are you inviting here for? Are you going to let him see us make a fool of ourselves?" "Don't tell me you didn't look at the records of the city guards," Sling said angrily. "The knight has already indicated that the incident on Seventh Avenue was an attack on him. There was an attack on the Viscount of the Empire in my city, and no matter what the knight tried to hide, I must first give a satisfactory answer to the incident. Before we have any evidence, there is nothing we can do about an Empire viscount. "

"Then what does the general mean?"

"These people can't come out of thin air. If they want to enter the city, someone has to forge their identities for them," Slyn snorted. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to pass the city gate examination alone. Do you think all of them are Ten Saint experts who can rise and fall? Secondly, our Bucks have not received any news before. Obviously, the shady rats in the city have provided cover for them. Go and find all those rats for me, I don't believe that I can't find a clue! "

Wei Fei will do it first.

Even so, Slyn's heart was still heavy. It was very simple. The incident happened on Heavenly Kingdom Garden Street, and all the people in one manor were wiped out. Such a thing would not be an accident. If it was a deliberate killing, then there would be many people involved behind it. Moreover, most of these people, be they victims or masterminds, were not people that he, a Bucks general, could afford to offend.

As long as this matter was not handled properly, Slyn's situation would become extremely awkward. Thinking of this, how could he relax?

That night, in the slums of Sardinia, it was like chickens flying and dogs jumping. The iron sentinel of the Bucks Army Guards did not stop for a single moment. It tossed and turned for most of the night before everything gradually fell silent.

After breakfast the next day, Alan brought Edward, Shawn, and a few merchants to the Chamber of Commerce in Sardinia. Walking into the golden hall of the guild hall, Silin and a few big shots from Sardinia City's business circles were already present. Seeing Alan arrive, Slyn and the others hurriedly stood up and warmly welcomed him. Slyn's expression didn't look very good. He forced a smile on his face and introduced it to Alan.

Apart from Slyn and his old subordinate, Victor, there were only three other men and one woman present today. All four of them were big shots in Sardinia who would shake twice if they stamped their feet in the city. Among them, the youngest was none other than the man named Elon, who was only around forty years old. Fang Zheng's facial features were clear and his face was pale. He gave Alan a very clean feeling. When Slyn introduced him, he always had a gentle smile on his face, not giving anyone the slightest bit of pressure. If he walked on the street, he would probably treat him as an ordinary person.

However, it was this man who wore ordinary clothes and had a humble expression. He was the chairman of the Flying Elephant Trading Company. The Flying Elephant Merchant Group operated a wide range of businesses, including luxury hotels, shipping, horse ransom, and so on. The biggest industry was shipping. The Flying Elephant Merchant Guild had seven super merchant ships, while the small and medium-sized passenger cargo ships had nearly a hundred. Every year, the Flying Elephant Merchant Guild's ships were busy shuttling through the various ports of the Empire. Even in the Northern Region, the Flying Elephant Merchant Group was quite famous.

Mark, who was standing beside Elon, was an old man in armor. Old man spots of different shades had already appeared on his wrinkled skin. Mark, whose hair had already turned white, had only his gray and blue eyes that carried a piercing sharpness. There was not a single old man who was late at night. The old man had a typical eagle nose, which made him look rather harsh and ruthless. In fact, he was also a person who didn't dare to laugh. When Slyn introduced him, he didn't have a smile on his face. He just looked at Alan with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

Ma Ke is the chairman of the Golden Falcon Merchant Group, which mainly deals in fur purchases. They are the biggest buyers of fur in the South. There was even a beast hunting group called Eagle's Eye under the merchant group. Inside, there were all first-rate hunters in the Southern Region, and there were even some true experts.

As for Angela, she was a woman. This lady was the chairman of the ruby crown merchant group. The ruby crown was actually an alliance of more than a dozen chambers of commerce engaged in the jewelry industry. Angela was elected by the heads of the chambers of commerce to be responsible for managing the affairs of the entire business group, large and small, and even for planning the future development of the business group. Angela has always been known for her insights. During her ten years as chairman of the merchant group, the Ruby Crown Chamber of Commerce has maintained a 25% annual growth rate of wealth.

The last Peter was the chairman of the Sword Tiger Trading Company. Peter was a well-deserved Fatty. His bloated fingers were covered with rings inlaid with gemstones of all colors, and there were several necklaces hanging around his neck. He looked like a typical upstart. However, it was such a ridiculous Fatty. His Sword Tiger Trading Group had two large mercenary guilds, which were engaged in weapons and equipment, slavery, warhorse ransom, and other businesses.

This Fatty could be said to be someone who wanted people, rich and wealthy. Even if Slyn talked to him, he had to be polite.

The presence of these four people could determine the economic lifeline of more than half of Sardinia City. If he could win over one of them as an ally, Alan's trip to Sardinia would not be a waste. After Slyn finished speaking, he also gave Alan a brief introduction. In fact, regarding Allen's origin, which one of them wasn't well-informed and skilled? They probably knew as much about Allen as Slyn did, so Slyn didn't have to waste any time talking.

Ellen pushed Shawn and a few other businessmen out and gave an introduction. "Mr. Shawn can be my plenipotentiary in business. We have specialties in worsted fabrics and guns. If you are interested, please consult Mr. Shawn," Ellen said.

The four great businessmen, Elon, had extremely high eyesight. If it was just ordinary business, it would be difficult for them to enter their eyes. They wouldn't be interested in a cloth business like worsted fabrics. However, guns and cannons were different. The empire was martial, and this kind of atmosphere was the same from north to south. In addition to the large and small wars waged by Lords everywhere, there was no shortage of weapons, especially firearms, and medicinal guns and cannons.

Hearing Allen mention guns and cannons, Fatty Peter's eyes lit up first. The fatty smiled until there was only a crack left in his eyes and asked, "Your Excellency, do you have your own weapons workshop?"

'"Not only that, we also have first-rate skilled craftsmen. This time, we happened to be carrying a batch of guns to the Northern Lands. If Mr. Peter is interested, I will have people show you the power and performance of our new guns."

"Sounds great." Fatty looked at Slyn and said, "I think General Slyn would be interested to see if the guns you provided could catch up to the Imperial guns used by the Bucks. I'll take as many as you have." josei

Alan smiled faintly and said, "We came here this morning with a new type of musket. We don't know if there is a place to display it in the clubhouse."

Angela smiled and said, "It's simple. I'll get you ready immediately. Everyone, wait a moment."

She's temporarily gone.

At this moment, Alan intentionally or unintentionally glanced at General Slyn and said, "General Slyn, did you find out the identity of those murderers on Seventh Avenue last night?"
