Chapter 258 Leader of the Thieves Group

Boulder City.

Since May, the dark clouds of war have hung over the city.

Faced with the situation where Chishan Town was lost overnight and half of the knights were annihilated by the enemy, the people living here were worried every day, fearing that they would not see the sun the next day after falling asleep.

Fortunately, reinforcements from Wushanbao arrived, which eased the situation.

It's night in the study of the Baron of Boulder City.

"Captain Corian, the remaining knights of the Fifth Knights have been taken over by Sir Tolu."

Corian snorted coldly, his face extremely cold, "Captain? Brissot, do you think I can still serve as the leader of the Fifth Knights?"

As Tolu entered Boulder City with Rulans's order, he quickly took over the remaining knight squads of the Fifth Knights.

Tolu didn't say it clearly, and Rulans didn't officially issue an order to remove him, but Kerien knew that after the defeat in Chishan Town, his identity as the leader of the fifth knights was no longer there.

From now on, his identity is simply the vassal of Wushan Territory and the baron of Boulder Territory. The only troops he can mobilize are the three knight squads in his own territory.

In addition to this bad thing, in order to make up for the mistakes he made in Chishan Town, Wiggins also asked him to use all the knights in Boulder Ridge and provide supplies for the Wushanbao Knights and Wubei Territory Knights. .

And it is foreseeable that even if Wushanbao wins this war and retakes Chishan Town, he will definitely not have a share of the iron ore there.

Brissot chuckled and did not continue to say more about the captain, "I heard that the commander of the noble coalition this time is Luo Ning. Lord Baron, I wonder how much you know about this Luo Ning?"

"Just a kid who has just grown up."

Corian's tone was full of disdain, "I don't know if he hid his strength before or got lucky and became a high-level knight. But even though he has performed well in the past six months, he can't cover up his ignorance and stupidity!"

He thought of Wiggins, father and son, and became more disdainful: "You know Wiggins's commanding level, how do you think his son can be better than him?"

The authorities are clear, but the onlookers are confused.

Corian only knew that Luo Ning got rid of Leisen and became Viscount of Wubei Territory, but he did not understand that the latter's temperament and handling style had fundamentally changed.

"Then what should we do in this war?"

Although Brissot was asking, he seemed to be somewhat aware of Corian's plan, so much so that he still had a faint smile on his face.

"Are we following Luo Ning's command, or..."

"Of course I follow his orders!"

Corian interrupted the other party, "I failed first in Chishan Town. If I don't obey the command now and lead to the final defeat of the war, wouldn't it just become a sandbag for the noble coalition to vent their anger?"

"That's true." Brissot nodded secretly.

The two of them were not at all worried about whether the Polish bandits would raise their troops and continue their attack after losing the war, thereby threatening Corian's territory.

After all, in this noble alliance, many knights from Wushan Castle came. Even if they were all killed by the enemy, the opponent would still shed some layers of skin.

Corian took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with calculation.

"Go and get ready. Tomorrow we will go outside the city to pick up the commander and the coalition forces of the nobles to enter the city!"

…

At the same time, in Chishan Town.

The hall of the mansion that originally belonged to the Knight of Hahn was now illuminated by brilliant candlelight.

The five people in the hall all looked very tall, casting huge shadows around them under the candlelight.

They are the leaders and core members of the Bolt Thieves Group.

"The aristocratic coalition from Wushanbao has arrived, and I'm afraid it won't be long before they attack Chishan Town." The speaker sounded worried.

"What are you afraid of? Just call them back."

"Haha, yes, Chishan Town has been occupied by us, do we still want to spit it out?"

The people below were all talking about it, some were worried, some were not afraid at all, but there were only some who did not speak out to seek peace.

"Okay, everyone, shut up!"

Amycus, the leader of the Polish Thieves Group, said loudly, immediately stopping the discussion in the hall.

"Haldane, from now on, let brothers keep an eye on us and be ready to fight at any time."

Haldane is the deputy leader of the thieves group, "Understood, leader!"

"Warwick, have all the iron ores dug out recently been transported away?" Amycus asked.

A knight below quickly replied: "Now the early inventory of Chishan Iron Mine and the iron ore we mined recently have been loaded and transported to Coast City."

"Okay, it is estimated that there will still be some time before the war starts. Let the miners spend all their time mining for me except eating every day. Even if they have to sleep, they must sleep in the mine!"

"My lord, what is this?"

The deputy leader frowned slightly. This behavior seemed to be that he wanted to dig a little more before leaving. Could it be that he was retreating?

"Haha, you always have to be prepared when doing things. If something unexpected happens and we have to leave Chishan Town, we can take as much iron ore as we can before we leave."

"I understand, sir."

Knight Warwick, who was in charge of iron ore mining, showed a cruel smile: "I will urge those miners to dig out more iron ore."

"Remember to feed them well and let them sleep for two to three hours every day."

Amycus kindly reminded: "If you are too tired, your output will be low."

"I think the miners will appreciate your kindness."

They discussed for a while and then dispersed.

Although the Polite Thieves are a force that is not recognized by the kingdom and the nobles everywhere, it also has an internal management organization, and it does not do things haphazardly.

Watching his men leave the hall, Amycus couldn't help but stand up and stretch.

As a golden knight, if he follows other nobles, not to mention becoming a fiefdom noble, but becoming a canonized knight and entering the ranks of the nobles is completely fine.

But how can these be as comfortable as dividing oneself into one party?

Back then, he had spotted the decline of Wushan Castle and chose to cause trouble in this position based on the support of the nobles. His vision was so high that even he admired it.

Now as long as he has a good grasp of the speed and is not encircled by the kingdom's alliance, he can easily stand on the southwest side of Wushan Territory like a noble. Coast City and its surrounding towns are his territory.

In this way, what is the difference between him and those feudal nobles?

"The coalition of nobles in Wushan Territory, I haven't seen your strength for several years. I don't know if they have made any progress."

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was happy because he thought of something.

"Haha, Marquis Rulans wants to use us to fight a battle to clear his grandson's name. I'm afraid this idea is doomed to fail~" (End of Chapter)
