Chapter 27: Eliminating the Roots

In the middle of the harvest month (September), the harvest celebration was held as scheduled.

This is the grandest celebration in the Principality of Stars, second only to the New Year.

At this time, all noble territories will hold celebrations to celebrate the harvest of the whole year and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

From the beginning of the month, caravans and foreign travelers have entered the Glittering City.

By the day of the harvest celebration, the Glittering City was already full of people, and the festive atmosphere was everywhere.

In the Glittering Castle, in the banquet hall decorated with lights and colors, the invited guests drank and talked happily, and the laughter was endless.

In the corner of the hall, a group of young men and women gathered together, eating delicious food while chatting about gossip in a lively atmosphere.

"I heard that Earl Storm has not woken up yet in a coma. His sons are fighting for the title and their brains are almost broken."

"It's normal. After all, it's the title of Earl. If it were me, I would definitely fight for it with all my life."

"It is said that Earl Storm's wife also invited a wizard to treat Earl Storm. Tsk, I didn't expect that the legendary wizard actually exists."

"Hehe, they are just a group of guys pretending to be gods and ghosts. They only know some juggling skills. They are no different from the magicians performing acrobatics in the circus. I have heard about this. The so-called wizard didn't cure Earl Storm's illness at all. Later, he was stabbed to death by Earl Storm's second son."

The legend of wizards has a large market in the upper class.

As the topic unfolded, many people showed interest and joined the chat with their glasses raised.

"Speaking of which, Black Rock City seems to have a wizard."

"You are talking about Sunan, the second son of the previous Flash Baron. I heard that Black Rock City can develop into what it is now because of his efforts behind the scenes."

"Really?"

When the brothers Keyi and Sunan were driven out of Flash City and exiled to Black Rock City in disguise, almost no one was optimistic about this pair of brothers in distress.

After all, Black Rock City is located on the border of Jinyan Province, with a poor geographical location, and there is a serious threat of Black Scale Lizardman next to it, so its development potential is pitifully low.

The two brothers with a bad hand in hand can never be the opponent of the current Flash Baron.

As long as Owen integrates the territory's power, he will have time to deal with them.

In the eyes of everyone, the two brothers are almost dead.

But the subsequent development is a twist, beyond many people's expectations.

Black Rock City not only restarted the Black Rock Mine, with a steady stream of gold coins, but also wiped out the Black Scale Lizardman in one fell swoop.

Anyone can see the thriving and growing potential of Black Stone City today.

If Black Stone City continues to develop, it may become one of the most important cities in Jinyan Province in a few years.

Many people are exploring the reasons behind the changes in Black Stone City.

Hearing that it may be related to Su Nan, many people present are skeptical.

After all, Su Nan's shy and introverted personality is no secret in the aristocratic circle. Compared with his talented elder brother, he is not a little bit worse.

Such a person, no matter how you think about it, can't be the mastermind behind the changes in Black Stone City.

"Wizards and the like are nonsense."

A young man snorted disdainfully.

"Sunan is just a waste who can't even practice breathing. What great things can such a person do?"

"Black Stone City is just a little bit lucky. It can't become a big deal at all. My father can easily deal with them without Lord Owen taking action."

Someone recognized that the young man who spoke was the son of Lord Zorf, who first surrendered to Owen. He smiled and didn't refute.

The conversation quickly turned to other topics.

Although Black Stone City has been in the limelight recently, as Lord Zorf's son said, no one believes that Black Stone City can compete with Baron Owen, who almost controls the entire Flash Territory.

Even without Baron Owen's elite cavalry regiment, any of the three lords can deal with Black Stone City.

At the same time.

In the meeting hall, Owen and the three lords were sitting opposite each other.

"My two nephews are really amazing. They made such a big scene without making any noise. It seems that I really underestimated them before."

Owen gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet wine liquid shone with a charming luster under the light.

"Restart the Black Rock Mine, wipe out the Black Scaled Lizardmen, and form a cavalry regiment. If we let them continue to grow, they may really grow to the point where they can compete with me."

"You are joking, sir. It is not that easy to form a cavalry regiment. Even if Black Rock City has enough gold coins, they have no channels to buy enough war horses. Forming a cavalry regiment is just a fantasy after all."

Zolf, who is tall and strong, said in a muffled voice.

The breathing method he practiced focuses on physical fitness, so his physique is particularly sturdy and strong, and his height is nearly two meters.

When the previous Flash Baron was still there, Zolf was a famous general. After breaking through to become a peak knight not long ago, his reputation became even louder.

"That's right, training cavalry is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. In such a short time, even if Black Rock City can pull up a cavalry regiment, its combat effectiveness is very limited and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Davin said with a smile, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

If the cavalry regiment was so easy to form, he would have done it himself long ago.

Two young boys, who have only a little money, have wild ideas. They really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.

Seeing that his two colleagues had spoken, Norwood also echoed a few words.

Owen narrowed his eyes and took a sip of wine.

Unlike Zolf and the other two who only speculated based on rumors, he had definite intelligence to prove that Black Rock City had domesticated a new type of mount, which seemed to have certain combat effectiveness.

Black Rock City formed a cavalry regiment with the new type of mount as the core.

According to the spy's report, Black Rock City suffered very little loss in the war to eliminate the Black Scaled Lizardmen.

It is very likely because of this cavalry regiment.

In this way, this cavalry regiment cannot be underestimated.

Given time, it may really grow into an elite army.

When Owen thought of this, he could not help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

It can't be dragged on any longer!

It's time to root out the last hidden danger!

As long as the brothers die, the Flash Territory will be completely in his pocket, and there is no need to worry about any changes!

"What do you think of Black Rock City?" Ou asked calmly:

The three lords present were all cunning people, and they immediately understood Owen's plan when they heard this.

Zolf was the first to speak: "As long as the lord gives the order, I am willing to lead the troops to attack Black Stone City."

Daven and Norwood were a step slower, and they couldn't help cursing in their hearts. This big man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is very good at flattering, and his face is as thick as the city wall.

Cursing inwardly, the two of them were not slow, and they all asked for battle.

Seeing the "loyalty" of the three, Owen smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said: "Forget about sending troops to attack, it's too ugly, and although the military strength of Black Stone City is not strong, it will cost a lot of manpower to bite it off."

Zollf and the other two looked at each other.

Daven hesitated and said: "Then what the lord means is..."

Owen smiled mysteriously and said: "As long as Keyi and Sunan die, Black Stone City will naturally return to my hands."

The three understood it immediately and showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Assassination!

This is almost a common skill of the nobles.

It's just that it's usually not a good idea to send your own people for this kind of thing, lest they catch you.

But if you don't send your men, where will Lord Owen go to hire people?

It's said that Key has been promoted to a great knight.

It's not easy to assassinate a great knight!
