The King - Chapter 382

Chapter 382 Magic Crystal Mine

The reinforcements arrived, and the overwhelmed city defenses also collapsed under the successive attacks of the army of monsters.

The blood-colored light that soared into the sky went straight into the sky, and could be clearly seen in a radius of dozens of miles. The strong elemental breath can be felt even by people who have never learned magic.

“Magic crystal mine!”

Governor Pierce said indifferently.

The murderous look in his eyes has exposed his true inner thoughts. The Viscount Ottum on the side was even more frightened and trembling.

Magic Crystal Mine, this kind of strategic resource, cannot be owned by a little viscount. The tiny magic crystal mines with low reserves are fine.

But judging from the movements exposed in front of him, this is undoubtedly a large magic crystal mine. Viscount Ottum dared to hide and mine something that even a noble like the Dalton family could not swallow.

What’s more important is that this kind of private collection is not just a day or two, but may have lasted for hundreds of years.

In order to cover up the mining movement, the county town was moved to the mine, and a magic circle was added to block the breath.

Obviously, the ancestors of Viscount Ottum also gave birth to great people. This kind of handwriting is not something that an ordinary middle-class noble can accomplish.

“Your Excellency, let’s deal with this problem after defeating the herd!”

Compared to the anger of Governor Pierce, Hudson is much calmer.

The Koslow family has only risen for a few days. If the ancestors of the Viscount Ottum were able to hide the magic crystal mine, this thing would have been divided up by others, and it would not be his turn to take a share.

Now is the right time to expose it, regardless of whether it is handed over to the kingdom, or the nobles in the southeastern provinces join forces to hide and mine, Hudson can get a share of it.

“good!”

He agreed with his lips, but deep down in his heart, Governor Pierce was bleeding. Even if he discovered this magic crystal mine three to five years in the morning, he would not be so passive.

Two strong players stand side by side, how can one of them dominate and score more points?

If eyes could kill, Viscount Altum would have been torn to pieces. This is not only digging at the foot of the kingdom, but also digging at the foundation of the Dalton family.

A large magic crystal mine is an important strategic resource for any big power.

The specific reserves and quality of magic spar are not yet known, but it can be seen from the movement at the scene that it is definitely not ordinary.

The mystery that Blood Moon County was equipped with a large number of magic crystal cannons has now been solved. Guys who don’t lack magic crystals can naturally squander them wantonly.

“The whole army goes out, pinching the herd front and back!”

Accompanied by Hudson’s order, the **** battle broke out in an all-round way, and the sound of killing resounded all over the world for a while.

As a dragon knight, Hudson was forced to take the lead and rushed to the forefront of the team.

“Maxim, you idiot don’t want to fight, rush out from here!”

Looking at the red dragon leading him straight to the herd, Hudson was full of anger. If it weren’t for the fact that this guy is usually second-guess, he would have suspected that he was deliberately defrauding his master.

Curse the curse, the effect is still very good. The giant dragon rampaged in the herd, making the already chaotic herd even more unbearable.

No matter how the three high-level monsters command, they can’t stop the herd from becoming more and more chaotic.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the herd, the human masters who followed immediately expanded this advantage, trying to divide the herd into two.

The three high-level monsters who were eager to try, failed to rush up after all. Without the cooperation of the herd, just one eighth-level monster + two seventh-level monsters can’t beat an adult dragon.

Perhaps realizing that the situation was over, the three leading wolf cubs quickly left the battlefield and headed straight for the Warcraft Mountains.

The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the herd without the command of a high-level monster quickly collapsed under the impact of the army.

Seeing this scene, the money-obsessed Maxim became more eager to fight and chased after him directly.

The steady Hudson has left the Red Dragon and left the battlefield with Bear Stearns.

Although there are many monsters participating in the battle, but for the entire Blackstone Mountain Range, only a small part of them are here now.

The monster that launched this beast horde was only an eighth-rank monster at the highest level, which couldn’t represent the Blackstone Mountain Range at all.

Hudson remembered that Bear Stearns said that in the depths of the Blackstone Mountains, there are still ninth-level monsters entrenched.

The current battle is nothing more than cleaning up the monsters in the nearby area. If you go deep into the Black Rock Mountain Range, it is also dangerous.

Of course, this danger is for Hudson. The rough-skinned and thick-skinned Maxim, even if he couldn’t beat others in the past, he could still run.

Among all races, dragons are the most balanced and top-notch wave of talent. Regardless of speed, attack, defense, or land, sea and air combat, they are all at the top level.

There may be monsters that surpass them in unilateral attributes, but no one can surpass them in all aspects.

Including Bear Stearns, which Hudson carefully cultivated, can only rule the roost on land. If you change the battlefield, it will be the fate of being completely abused by Maxim.

…

Blood Moon County, in a remote small courtyard, a white-haired old man cursed endlessly: “I can’t live through this day!

Our business has just started, and we have encountered a beast tide that is rare in decades. This time, we will definitely lose money.

…”

The girl in red on the side smiled and said, “Grandpa, you are possessed by a moldy god. Wherever you go, accidents will happen!”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. The white-haired old man complained secretly in his heart, he was only busy doing things, but he ignored the flaws he had revealed.

Although these things on the surface have nothing to do with his old man who is half buried in the ground, nobles don’t need evidence to do things.

Once they realize that every time a big event happens, there will be a group of them haunting them, they will immediately do it.

It doesn’t matter if you catch the wrong one, it’s just a few low-level merchants, who will stand up for them?

“Stop talking nonsense, you are an adult, why are you still so naughty!

It’s just that I’ve had bad financial luck recently. When I was lucky in the past few years, I made a lot of money.

Looks like I need to find someone to marry you off as soon as possible, otherwise my old bones will be tossed to death by you sooner or later. ”

The constant complaints on the mouth and the kindness in the eyes still cannot be concealed.

As a cult organization, there are also times of silence. During the orc invasion a few years ago, the Skull and Bones settled down.

It’s not that they have a big picture, but that the funders behind the scenes don’t let them do things. Cult organizations that don’t know the direction of the wind, all shipwrecked in the wind and rain.

Once the major forces get ruthless, no matter how deep they hide, they will be able to find them out.

Who made this an extraordinary world?

If there is no clue, there is still a divination. Of course, the great prophecy of the Holy See also has the same effect.

Future events cannot be accurately predicted, but it is not difficult to investigate past events. Unless there is a master who disrupts the thread of fate, it will be difficult to fool the past.

Like the previous assassination of Caesar III, it was cut off from the beginning and the end. No matter how the Alpha Kingdom investigated, no breakthrough could be found.

These are the handicrafts of the top powers, and the Skull and Bones do not have this kind of ability.

The old man has been able to live smoothly until now, thanks to the talent of his granddaughter, who has avoided countless dangers.

“Grandpa, I don’t want to marry, I want to…”

Before she finished speaking, the girl in red changed her face and said, “Grandpa, pack up your things and leave, or it will be too late!”

“Guna, are you sure you feel right? There are monsters outside the city, let’s go out now…”

Before he finished speaking, the soaring vision went straight to the clouds, and the old man couldn’t help exclaiming: “Magic Crystal Mine!”

In a flash he understood. The news that Xueyue County City is located on the magic crystal mine has been exposed, which means that this place has become a place of right and wrong.

Will the nobles in the southeastern province hand over the magic crystal mine to the kingdom?

If these people don’t want to hand it over, they can only block the news. As witnesses, I’m afraid they will never leave Blood Moon County in their lifetime.

House arrest is a trivial matter, the key is that these noble lords have to investigate everyone’s identities, and their identities cannot withstand scrutiny.

Once a problem is discovered, it is considered good to send it to mining, and it is more likely to die directly.

“Grandpa, don’t worry about the magic crystal mines. Those belong to the nobles, and they won’t give you a gold coin.

Someone called for reinforcements just now, and the defenders should start counterattacking now. The herd outside is no match for the regular army, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, this is our last chance to leave. Otherwise, when the aristocrats react, they won’t be able to leave!

Stop talking nonsense, I’ll go find the little wolf, hasn’t he had milk yet? ”

While speaking, Guna had already carried a wolf cub out of the house. It’s just that this young wolf is different from ordinary wolves. It looks more like a dog than a wolf.

Pure white hair, full of aristocratic temperament, it can be seen at a glance that it is of noble birth.

That’s right, it’s another part of picking up monsters halfway. When they were passing by the edge of the Blackstone Mountain Range, a mercenary group and a pack of wolves started fighting, and this little guy scurry into Guna’s carriage.

Seeing that the variety is extraordinary, they brought it out and arrived at Blood Moon County all the way.

“What are you doing all in a daze, hurry up and pack your things, you can’t understand people’s words!

Forget it, money is something outside of the body. Bring the essentials, these goods are not needed. ”

The old man said with a painful face.

After so many years, he has long been addicted to acting. Most of the time, I am a small businessman who is a philistine, including the decision to give up the goods now, which is really heartbreaking.

…

The sun is shining all over the earth, reflecting the blood on the ground, it looks extraordinarily creepy. It’s like taking people to hell, and the killing atmosphere is everywhere.

The wreckage of broken arms all over the ground is still telling the cruelty of war. The polite vultures kept wandering in the sky, but they didn’t come down to **** food.

Destined to disappoint them, the laborers hiding in the city have come out to clean up the battlefield at this moment.

The bones of one’s own people should be collected, and according to the tradition of the Aslante continent, priests will preside over the burial.

Dead monsters and beasts are the best meat supplements, there is absolutely no reason to give up, there is no room for them to get a share of the pie.

After counting the casualties, everyone’s face was not good. Just one beast swarm still caused tens of thousands of casualties, even though most of the losses were serfs, it still slapped everyone in the face.

The most miserable ones were the small nobles in Blood Moon County, who suffered heavy losses under the scourge of the herd. Although the blood moon county attracted firepower, five knights and one baron were still breached by the herd.

The castle was broken, needless to say the people inside. Most of the casualties were contributed by these six destroyed territories.

Hudson has no interest in the ownership of these territories. It doesn’t matter if there are survivors inheriting it, or it doesn’t matter if it is divided up.

In a land without population, he has no love at all. What’s more, it’s still an enclave, and it’s a waste of resources to get it.

The territory can not be disputed, but the magic crystal mine cannot be given up. This thing is a rare commodity, and it can be traded normally in normal times, but once it enters the war time, it will be difficult to obtain.

In the entire Alpha Kingdom, two large magic crystal mines, seven or eight medium-sized magic crystal mines, and dozens of tiny magic crystal veins were discovered on the surface.

The magic crystal mine in Blood Moon County is the third large-scale magic crystal mine on the bright side of the kingdom, and it is also the only large-scale magic crystal mine in the southeastern province.

For Hudson, this is the only magic crystal mine he can reach. If you make a mistake in the past, you don’t know when you will have to wait for the next time.

“The beast tide is over, and the remaining monsters have retreated to the Blackstone Mountains, so the threat has been lifted. Now let’s talk about the aftermath.

In addition to resuming the construction of the Blood Moon defense line as soon as possible, what should be done with the destroyed territories? How to deal with the aftermath of the magic crystal mine? ”

After speaking, Hudson turned his attention to Governor Pierce. The war is over, and the power of discourse has shifted again.

If there is no magic crystal mine, it doesn’t matter who will preside over the aftermath meeting. But the reality is that if there is no if, the Dalton family must not give up the dominance at this moment.

“Earl Hudson is right, the aftermath issue should indeed be put on the agenda. Viscount Ottum, don’t you want to say something?”

As soon as Governor Pierce’s words fell, everyone’s eyes focused on Viscount Ottum. Hiding the magic crystal mine is a serious crime, and now that it is exposed, you will have to peel off your skin if you don’t die.

“Governor, please forgive me! I really don’t want to…”

When the reason came to his lips, he swallowed it back. As the owner of Blood Moon County, they put the county on the mines as a cover. If they didn’t know that someone was secretly mining, it would be an insult to everyone’s IQ.

Although these things were done by the ancestors. In his generation, he just continued the tradition of his ancestors, and that is also to blame.

“snort!”

“You must be very clear about the crime of hiding or stealing magic crystal mines. Whether you did it or your ancestors did it, the result is the same.

According to the rules of the kingdom, if you report the magic crystal mine as a lord, you will get 20% of the mining income.

Calculating the construction time of Blood Moon County, you probably have been stealing ore veins for hundreds of years. With such a big matter, no one can protect you! ”

He spoke loudly, but Hudson knew that Governor Pierce had no intention of killing.

Viscount Altum deserves to die, but the southeast province has no right to execute a fiefdom viscount, and must report to the kingdom’s aristocratic council for approval.

The charges were settled, and the news of the magic crystal mine was exposed. When the time comes, the kingdom will take advantage of the trend to take the magic crystal mine back to the central government, and everyone will not be able to get anything.

Even if Viscount Altum is spared, it will not be easy to keep the magic crystal mine. The previous anomaly can be seen in a radius of dozens of miles. There are too many insiders, and it is only a matter of time before the secret is leaked.

“My lord, I am willing to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!

Did you commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!

Lord Hudson, please raise your hand!

…”

In the blink of an eye, Viscount Altum begged all the powerful nobles present. In order to preserve the family inheritance, in order to preserve his life, he also worked hard.
