Chapter 1130 Conspiracy Aura

"Mr. Master, I will distribute your gifts to the brothers, and express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of the brothers!"

Lieutenant Yang bowed deeply to Qiao An.

Joan waved his hand, expressing that you are welcome.

"By the way, Mr. Mage, when I came here just now, Miss Green asked me to call you to the company headquarters by the way, saying that the results of the interrogation have come out."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Qiao An had long seen that the old wolf Augustus was a stern guy, but he didn't expect him to confess before he even lasted an hour. He was really weak.

The temporary station of the company headquarters is the large warehouse where the pasture stores fodder. As soon as Joan arrived at the door, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the warehouse, and he couldn't help being secretly surprised.

The half-hidden door opened, and Audrey stood at the door with a wry smile on her lips: "I heard your footsteps, come in quickly."

"Who is arguing?" Joan asked in a low voice.

"Holden, Hailar, and Mr. Captain, everyone's opinions are very different."

"What happened?" Joan asked curiously.

"The inside story is a bit complicated. Let me start with the results of the interrogation of Winter Wolf Augustus just now."

Audrey took his arm and walked into the warehouse.

Captain Stone was smoking a simple pipe made from hollowed out corncobs. He was puffing, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed to be worried. When he saw Joan coming in, he nodded at him.

Joan also nodded in return, followed Audrey to a corner by the window, and sat on the haystack.

The night wind blowing in from the window slightly dispelled the choking tobacco smell in the warehouse.

Joan really wanted to remind Mr. Captain that smoking in the warehouse where the hay was piled up was an indecent and very dangerous behavior, but seeing the other party's frown, he couldn't bear to say more.

"What did the old wolf explain?" Joan asked Audrey.

"All the confessions revolved around the theme of 'attacking Elk Town'. We thought it was just a routine robbery. However, after listening to the old wolf's confession, we realized that it was not that simple. It was probably a well-planned conspiracy."

"Conspiracy?" Joan asked in surprise, "Is it really that serious?"

Audrey nodded seriously.

"Do you know how many gangsters participated in this attack on Elk Town?"

"Besides the dire wolf led by Augustus and the snow monster under Dabai, are there other participants?"

"If the old wolf didn't lie, besides the two bandits you mentioned just now, there are four other gangs who have also accepted the assignment of Winterhold. They are expected to arrive in Elk Town no later than tomorrow. The total number of snow monsters participating in the battle exceeds 200. Dire wolves plus winter wolves are no less than this number." Audrey said in a deep voice.

Qiao An couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and was speechless for a long time.

Elk Town is a small town where the majority of residents are Asa natives. It is located about 150 miles northwest of Linyuanbao, on the banks of the Mijiu River.

Although Qiao An has never been to Elk Town, but from a common sense, what is so special about a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people?

There are countless rural towns like this in the Fangshan Mountains. Why would Winterhold go to war and recruit so many monsters to besiege them?

Two hundred snow monsters, plus two hundred dire wolves, including elites such as mutated snow monsters and winter wolves, such a huge force could even pose a certain threat to Linyuan Castle, but now it is only to besiege a For a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people, this is too much of a fuss.

"Did Augustus explain what is the plot behind Winterhold's assignment to besiege Elk Town?" Joan asked Audrey.

"We also suspect that the purpose of Winterhold is not simple. If it is just to plunder cattle, sheep and food, Elk Town is not a good choice to obtain huge profits, but the old wolf does not know what Winterhold Lord Trim wants. The order I received was to recruit snow monsters to attack Elk Town, as for what to do after conquering the town, I still have to wait for follow-up orders." Audrey replied.

"Follow-up instructions?" Joan immediately grasped the key information, "That is to say, the snow monsters and wolves who participated in the siege of Elk Town are just a group of mercenaries. The gangs in the area?"

"You guessed it right, that's what the old wolf said."

Audrey nodded, her face became more solemn.

"If their group of gangsters' attack on Elk Town goes well and they can take this town as soon as possible, Winterhold will send a special envoy to take over Elk Town as soon as possible; It will be possible to send direct troops to join the battle."

The shocking news revealed by Audrey caused waves in Joan's heart.

The snow monsters and wolves are only the peripheral forces of Winterhold. As for the direct troops of Winterhold, they usually refer to the "Frost Giant" and "White Dragon".

From the Tusk Mountains to the Jotunheim Glacier, this vast alpine tundra is not suitable for human survival, and it has been the hometown of frost giants since ancient times.

Among all the frost giant lords, Trim of Winterhold is relatively low-key, rarely having direct conflicts with the human world.

This is not to say that the power of Winterhold is weak. On the contrary, no matter in terms of territory, military force or personal strength, "Trim of Winterhold" ranks among the top among all frost giant lords.

The reason why such a powerful strongman has followed the low-key principle for many years is mainly because Trim is a "heretic" in the frost giant society and worships the abyss lord Kostchurch instead of the traditional gods of the frost giants. The issue of religious belief is rejected in the mainstream giant society, fearing that it will cause public anger, so they have to behave with their tails between their legs.

A low-key lord like Trim usually doesn't make big moves, but this time the siege plan for Elk Town obviously violated his usual style.

There must be a reason for the abnormality, and Joan had to suspect that there might be something special in Elk Town that aroused Trim's covetousness, so he did not hesitate to break the routine and send troops to besiege.

"The old wolf Augustus is just a low-level deacon of Winterhold. Augustus has no way of knowing what Trim wants to get in Elk Town. He is just following orders. We can't get more valuable information from him. "Audrey sighed.

Joan was not surprised by this.

Judging from the series of unusual actions of Winterhold, Trim obviously does not want to attract the attention of the outside world, and he will not reveal the truth to the lower-level cannon fodder on the mission. The day Elktown fell, no one knew what happened the day it fell.

"What's the captain's plan?" Joan asked.

"After the interrogation, we all smelled a conspiracy. Although we still don't know the plot of Winterhold, there is one big principle that will never go wrong," Audrey emphasized word by word, "The enemy of the enemy, You can be our friend, whatever the evil forces want to do, we can't let them succeed!"
