Chapter 268: Layout of the Battlefield (4000 Words)

Throughout the day, the residents of Hog Town have been discussing today's investment talks in the government building, and Claurend Manor and its owner are undoubtedly the focus of every discussion.

Although the simple townspeople did not understand the meaning of the negotiations, they knew that Hog Town was going to be developed this time. Tomorrow Group will invest an unimaginable amount of wealth in Hog ​​Town, enough to turn this remote town into a modern city.

Clean and spacious streets, running cars, beautiful clothes, and a large theater that only decent people can enter...

There will be.

Of course, the townspeople also know that all the proceeds are inseparable from Mr. Claude.

Herot's image in the hearts of the townspeople immediately became taller.

In order to save his pension, Mayor Hagen visited the Crowlund Manor with gifts immediately after the negotiation.

Even though he was told that "Mr. Claude has important things to deal with at this time," Mayor Hagen still insisted on waiting in the manor.

Wait until night.

Herot, who had just returned to the manor, received the news and immediately sent his servant to invite Mayor Hagen to his study.

"Mainur, go and pour a cup of tea for our mayor." He asked the head maid to pour the tea. Helot invited Mayor Hagen to sit down: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor! I was too absorbed in reading, servant. None of you wanted to disturb me, which is why I kept you waiting for so long.”

Mayor Hagen did not dare to complain: "Mr. Claude... I wasted your time. I came to visit this time for the purpose of the Claude family building a museum in Hog ​​Town. Previously it was I am too cautious, but after consideration, I feel that it is very necessary to build a museum in Hog ​​Town to commemorate the glorious history of the Claude family.

And it must be built in the most eye-catching location!

Which location in the town center square do you think is the most suitable? "

Mayor Hagen also took out a map of Hog Town and placed it on the table. It seemed that even if Helot chose the town government building, he would demolish his office building without hesitation.

Herot is not in a hurry to build a museum.

When Mayinur brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Mayor Hagen, Helot said: "Mr. Mayor, try the taste of this cup of tea. I hope it will suit your taste."

Mayor Hagen picked up the tea cup, with a tea bag soaked in it. The color of the tea was amber, with a mellow smell and a hint of sweetness. Hagen took a sip and praised: "This is the best tea I have ever drunk. The coolness in it makes people feel clear-headed."

Herot picked up his cup of tea and drank: "The tea bag was prepared by a friend of mine. It contains an ice dancing lotus seed unique to the polar regions. It has a very good effect on concentration."

The Kurdistan Province is located in the northwest of the empire. Across the desert to the north is the empire's vast northern frontier. Therefore, there are many people from the north to sell special products in the Kurdistan Province.

Among the specialties of Northern Xinjiang, Ice Dance Lotus is a very precious magic potion. It is not only rare, but also only grows on the polar plateau. The polar plateau is the territory of the cold demon. People from northern Xinjiang who want to go to the polar plateau to collect ice dancing lotus are risking a near-death situation.

The lotus seeds of the Ice Dance Lotus are its most essential part, and the Duke of Ice and Snow also issued an order that all northerners who set foot on the polar plateau must hand over all collected Ice Dance Lotus seeds.

If you dare to hide and don't make friends, you will stay on the pole forever.

Since the icebergs and snow peaks are the only way up and down the polar plateau, it is almost impossible for the ice dancing lotus seeds to flow out.

If there are really ice dancing lotus seeds in the tea bag, it must come from the Bingxue family, and only people with very high status in the Bingxue family would use it to make tea so extravagantly.

Mayor Hagen's hands couldn't help but tremble. He remembered that Princess Snow was in Covenant City.

"Mr. Claude, what do I need to do to gain your forgiveness."

Helot smiled and said: "You have not offended me, and naturally you do not need my forgiveness. Regarding the construction of the Claude Family Museum, we can talk slowly. After all, Hog Town needs to rebuild its infrastructure. How to build it?" Plan holistically.

I have something to ask the Mayor for help now, and the Ice Dance Lotus Seed in your teacup will be my reward. "

Mayor Hagen felt a surge of excitement in his heart. The ice dance lotus seeds were very valuable. At least his pension was not enough to buy one.

"What do you need me to do, sir?"

"Tomorrow, no matter what method you use, evacuate all the townspeople within one kilometer of the hotel where the delegation of the Tomorrow Group lives."

Mayor Hagen was shocked: "Mr. Claude, what do you want to do? So many people need to be evacuated."

Helot said seriously: "Mr. Mayor, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. If you can't do it and a big mess occurs, you will have nothing."

Mayor Hagen suddenly stood up from his chair: "I, I will prepare now and ensure that the townspeople will be evacuated early tomorrow morning.

Is one kilometer enough? "

"At least one kilometer, how many people can be evacuated depends on your ability."

"I know what to do! Farewell, Mr. Claude." The impatient Mayor Hagen no longer paid attention to etiquette. He hurriedly saluted Helot and turned around to leave. Then he turned back, took out the tea bag from his tea cup, bowed and left.

Helot continued to drink tea.

Evacuating the residents around the hotel was one of Helot's preconceived plans. But because it was too intrusive and could even cause chaos in the town, it was not Helot's first choice.

Now that we know that the assassins are going to use a large-scale attack to cover the real assassination, creating an isolation zone is undoubtedly the most effective measure. As for how to evacuate so many townspeople, it is not something Helot needs to consider. He believes that Mayor Hagen must have a way.

Based on the surveillance of Karaman and his group of corpse stitchers, Helot judged that the time of the assassination should not be tonight. If it is, they should have received an order to start waking up the corpse puppets to prepare for the attack.

If it is not tonight, it must be tomorrow.

So Helot left Frank to continue monitoring and returned to the manor to prepare to transfer a batch of undead from the family cemetery.

Just as Helot opened the passage to the family cemetery, some special images came from another set of pictures in his field of vision.

…

After the end of today's negotiations, Viscount Kamara has been unable to calm the violent emotions in his mind.

He has been bathed in the glory of his family since he was born. His ancestors participated in the war of founding the empire and the bloody rebellion. They are nobles who have killed the sea of ​​corpses on the battlefield. He has received elite education from the nobility since he was a child. He is elegant and easy-going on the surface, but he has extreme contempt for civilians in his bones.

The Kamala family has always deliberately avoided talking about the origin of the first generation of ancestors.

The son of a groom, a slave farmer who grew up on horse manure, was lower than the common people.

However, today, everyone knows it.

In addition, the inheritance of the Kamala family has been questioned...

In ancient times, the original magic war was a follower created by the magician, and the status of the magic war was lower than that of the magician. Even in modern times, this status difference still exists.

If the Kamala family has always been a magic war inheritance, it will not be able to integrate into the aristocratic circle, so it gradually transformed into a magician inheritance.

The origin of the ancestors was naturally diluted.

But now everything is exposed, Viscount Kamala even feels that he is a pariah in the cloak of nobility!

Viscount Kamala's confused thoughts have not been alleviated, but he has been constantly consuming himself in self-denial and recognition. He has a splitting headache, and always feels that something seems to have grown in his brain...

It was still not better when it was night.

When writing the report sent to Lierlek, his handwriting was loose, and he changed it again and again, and a piece of paper was stained with clumps of stains.

"Damn it!"

Viscount Kamala tore the paper into pieces and cursed loudly.

The door knocked!

"Who?"

"It's me, Viscount, your most loyal servant."

Viscount Kamala went over to open the door and asked angrily: "What's the matter?"

The servant held the wooden box: "It knocked again."

Viscount Kamala grabbed the wooden box and slammed the door shut, completely losing his usual calmness.

He turned around and threw the wooden box on the table, sloppily arranged the magic camouflage restriction.

Then he opened the wooden box.

Due to the magic camouflage restriction, the image that Helot could see through the "impulsive vision" was very blurry, and there was also serious jamming. Fortunately, the camouflage restriction set by Viscount Kamala was not strict enough, and Helot could still distinguish some important things.

For example, a severed hand crawled out of the wooden box.

Corpse puppet!

What good luck!

Just find someone to open the vision, and you will find the key person.

Helot was not in a hurry to enter the family cemetery. He sat down again and picked up the teacup. He sipped the tea while carefully watching the received images. He cast the spell further and heard some faint sounds intermittently.

In Viscount Kamala's room.

The mouth in the palm of the severed hand opened and closed and spoke: "We got the news that the Claulund family and the Tomorrow Group have joined forces, which gives us another reason to kill Irina.

It also blocks the other possible paths for the Claulund family, forcing them to go to us.

How is your mission completed?"

Viscount Kamala took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Perhaps Irina noticed something. She ordered the defense to be strengthened. My people can't get close at all. Strong magic disguises were set up around her room. Not only can we not detect inside, but even divination is dark.

Irina can run the Tomorrow Group to this scale. There are no loopholes in her protection."

The broken hand said: "The situation is as we expected. Ordinary assassinations can't threaten Irina at all. Fortunately, we are well prepared and use a war to complete this assassination."

Viscount Kamara said: "When the assassination is carried out, I will create opportunities for you according to the agreement. I want to know how much hope you still have for the Claulund family. Is he really capable and qualified to lead the executioner?"

"Pay attention to your identity, Viscount Kamara." The broken hand warned Viscount Kamara: "We know what happened at the venue. The current Kamara family has indeed shamed your ancestors, so don't do wrong things again.

Claulund is a banner. The Bradley family needs it, and the executioner also needs it."

Today, Viscount Kamara has felt the power of such a banner. It is harmless when it is stationary, but once it flies, it will bring about a hurricane.

"I know what to do. Irina will leave Hog Town after the negotiation is over tomorrow. When are you going to start?"

"After the negotiation is over, Hog Town will definitely celebrate. We will attack at that time. The chaotic crowd will interfere with the guards of the Tomorrow Group, and the corpse stitchers supported by the Deep Hell will interfere with the guards again with their corpse puppets.

The candidate will lead the executioner to carry out the assault. If you have a chance to kill Irina, you will complete the final blow. "

Viscount Kamala summoned a crystal sword in his hand: "Leave it to me."

There was a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

Hailot racked his brains to analyze the intelligence through the information fragments he received, and then reorganized the intelligence based on the information obtained from the corpse stitcher.

In the end, although he could not see the full picture of the other party's assassination plan, he could roughly get an outline.

The time of the assassination will be after the second round of negotiations at noon tomorrow. The corpse stitcher will provide cover, the executioner will assault, and Viscount Kamala will look for an opportunity to launch the final blow.

With these key information, it will be much easier to deal with.

As Viscount Kamala's emotions gradually calmed down, the undead spirits parasitic in his chaotic mind dissipated. From beginning to end, he did not notice anything.

Without the impulsive vision, Hai Lot got up and walked into the family cemetery.

There will be a big battle tomorrow!

Early the next morning, two mayoral orders came out from the government office of Hog Town.

The first mayoral order: the location of the investment negotiation with the Tomorrow Group delegation will be moved from the town government building to the hotel where the Tomorrow Group delegation is staying. So that Ms. Irina can quickly pack her luggage and catch the train after the negotiation.

This mayoral order did not cause much waves. After all, it didn't matter where the meeting was held. Taking care of Ms. Irina's schedule also expressed the goodwill of Hog Town.

The second mayoral order caused an uproar in the town.

"Someone found the corpse puppet left behind by the last infiltration of the corpse sewing man at home, as well as a map of unknown use. Therefore, Mayor Hagen ordered a thorough search based on the signs on the map.

Town residents who received the notice should immediately go to a safe area and return after the sheriff confirms that there is no danger. "

When the townspeople of Hogtown heard about the corpse stitchers and corpse puppets, they were terrified. No one wanted to have one of these things hidden in their home.

So, all the townspeople who received the evacuation notice immediately took their families, young and old, to the resettlement area set up in the town without being urged.

A strange phenomenon appeared in Hogtown.

The negotiation team of Hogtown took a carriage to the hotel where the Tomorrow Group was staying; the townspeople, under the command of the sheriff, went in the opposite direction.

When the negotiation team arrived at the hotel, the nearby townspeople had already left, and the streets were deserted, without even a dog to be seen.
