Chapter 146 Killing without Bloodshed

Harvey's forehead was throbbing with veins. The bad news one after another made him completely out of control.

He drew out his sword, looked at the servant who reported the news fiercely, and asked loudly: "What happened?"

The servant was frightened and dared not hesitate any longer.

"The mine was attacked by mountain wolves."

Ridiculous!!!

Harvey felt like he was listening to a cold joke. The family's fiefdom was far away from the activity area of ​​mountain wolves, and it was surrounded by multiple family territories. It was extremely safe.

How did those bandits quietly pass through the territories of many nobles and accurately attack the mine?

"Derek..."

Harvey shouted bitterly. This must have been done by the other party.

He didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel at the first move, and didn't give Prince Radek any face at all.

"What's the situation now?"

"Knight Ode has brought people to support, the specific situation is not clear yet."

"Prepare the horses, I want to go and take a look."

Harvey couldn't sit still at all. The Garcia family had a hard time. The mine was the mainstay of their family's income. Once there was a problem, it would be very troublesome.

The private army of the Garcia family arrived one step ahead, but the bandits had long disappeared.

Knight Ode began to survey the situation in the mine, but no survivors were found for the time being, and even the bodies of the enemies were not seen.

Professional, very professional.

From the scene, the resistance almost did not play any role.

The other party not only killed people very calmly, but also cleaned up the battlefield.

As for saying that it was done by mountain wolves, he didn't believe it.

If a group of bandits had this level, could the kingdom's army have been eating dry food all these years?

And...was this intentional?

Ode was very familiar with the hoof prints of war horses. He could tell from their gait that they were tall and strong horses. How could all the bandits ride horses, and they were all excellent war horses?

Headache!!!

Ode didn't even think about chasing him. If he really chased him, he would be killed.

However, Harvey arrived at the scene soon, and the headache was left to Harvey.

Harvey staggered as he walked, and felt dizzy when he saw the mess on the ground.

"Ode, Ode, what's going on? Where are the people? Where are the attackers? Why don't you chase them?"

The scene was very quiet, and only Harvey's angry shouts could be heard.

Ode was silent, and finally reluctantly said: "Master, the attackers may not be the bandits of Mountain Wolf, but the elite Knights."

The Knights, except for the one of Count Perez, the only nearby Knights were those under Augusta.

The murderer can be imagined, and it is very likely that he did it on purpose.

"I'm going to sue him, sue him, and make him pay the price." Harvey was so angry that he jumped up and down.

But he knew that even if there was evidence, it would be useless, not to mention that there was no evidence.

The worst thing was that the Garcia family was special, which would make all the nobles in the north stand idly by.

If it were any other family, as long as they were attacked, everyone would definitely share the same hatred for the enemy.

Even Augusta could not attack a baron's family territory for no reason.

Evidence?

No evidence is needed, as long as everyone knows it.

But for the Garcia family, it was good enough that the surrounding nobles did not add insult to injury, how could they support them?

Ode was even more reluctant to speak, he even suspected that this might not be the end.

Since the Count Augusta had taken action, there must be a statement. It was not that the Garcia family would unilaterally admit defeat just because of the heavy losses.

To admit defeat, the other party must agree.

Sure enough, Harvey had just sent people to clean up the mess, and the mine had not even resumed operation, but was attacked again.

The newly recruited personnel were lost again.

For two consecutive times, even miners could not be recruited this time.

The brokers from the capital did not need to refuse the transaction, and the Garcia family could not even start work.

A series of tossings made Harvey exhausted and completely desperate.

In the past, I only knew that the Augusta family had made a name for themselves in the past few years, but it was difficult to directly experience that huge network of relationships.

The so-called exclusion was a minor matter compared to now.

It seemed that overnight, there was no place for the Garcia family in the entire North, and everyone was full of malice.

Harvey was very decadent. His proud family and his father's kingdom position could not change all this.

Here, no one cares if you are the governor of a city, or if you are the king's confidant.

They only know that Count Augusta is dissatisfied, that's enough.

It was at this time that the letter from Baron Garcia arrived.

There was no accusation, and the accusation was meaningless.

Although Harvey was arrogant, he did nothing wrong.

The original position of the Garcia family was destined to offend the local nobles and get close to the royal family.

If someone else came, they would also be rejected.

It was just bad luck. The person who was rejected at the beginning was called Derek.

So Baron Garcia was very single and directly asked his son to dedicate the mine to Prince Radek.

In the North today, there are not many people who can save the Garcia family, and the only one willing to accept them is Prince Radek.

Rather than letting others get away with it, it is better to do a favor to Prince Radek.

Maybe the little prince will be in power in the future, so let’s keep a favor in advance.

Even the king cannot be blamed. The Garcia family did not volunteer, but was forced into a desperate situation.

It is not that they really surrendered to Prince Radek, but just took refuge under his command.

Why not donate it directly to the king?

What a joke, the king would be willing to accept it.

If he can't even protect his nobles and force them to give up their property, how can the king save face?

Besides, taking over the mine means confronting the local powerful nobles, and there is no room for easing the situation. What if something unexpected happens?

On the contrary, Prince Radek is in the front, and if something goes wrong, he can replace someone else to the north, and there is still room for buffer.

Baron Garcia was accepted by Louis II not only because of his identity, but also because of his vision.

After reading the letter, Harvey finally regained some energy. Although he was unwilling, he could not refuse his father's arrangement.

"Prepare the horse, I want to see His Highness Radek."

When Harvey came to visit, Radek finally understood what Derek really gave.

When the deed of the mine fell into his hands, he instantly calculated the annual income.

"Sir Harvey, I will talk to Count Augusta about the Garcia family. These bandits are really too much and need to be surrounded and suppressed."

Prince Radek pretended to be unaware of the inside story and said clichés. Fortunately, he was not prepared to take the money and not do the job.

"Have someone copy this contract and send it to Count Augusta to take a look." Prince Radek smiled at Harvey: "I hope the Count can give me some face."

Harvey was full of hope. He was really fed up.

This is, when the big guys fight, the innocent people will suffer.

Since ancient times, what you see is not necessarily true. The upper nobles have too many ways to reap wealth, so many that you are dazzled.

The key is that you have to thank others after being sold, and even sincerely work for others.

If you meet someone who is not polite, you can be cheated to vomit blood.
