Chapter 346 Sudden Attack [Subscription Required]

Ever since Sir Arnel Reyes and the iguana Lazarus came to Magtan.

Baron Bezos has been under great pressure.

He is no longer as fulfilled as usual.

As Chen Xuan's contracted slave, he manages Magtan City for his master.

Except for the loss of red-haired Ursula, his daily life has not been greatly affected.

Even the quality of life has not declined much.

Chen Xuan did not deduct too much from him. After all, Baron Bezos managed Magtan City on his behalf, and had to deal with countless trivial matters every day, and he had to personally supervise the progress of construction in various parts of the city.

There is no merit, but there is hard work.

It is unnecessary and unkind to deduct Baron Bezos under such circumstances.

In fact, most of the slaves under Chen Xuan are not oppressed too harshly.

This is also his unique way of ruling his subordinates.

If you are fussy about everything, it would be too hard.

He doesn't want to make everything so rigid.

Contract slaves maintain self-awareness and subjective initiative.

With this premise, if you treat the slaves better, they can more faithfully carry out the tasks assigned by Chen Xuan.

Chen deeply agrees with this.

Baron Bezos did try his best for this.

But facing Sir Arnel, he still seemed a little overwhelmed.

The other party is not easy to fool, and he is very smart and observant.

The abilities of the two are very different, and Baron Bezos cannot compare with him in all aspects.

As for the iguana man Lazarus, he looks like a foreign rough man.

In fact, he is rough on the outside and delicate on the inside.

He also shows extraordinary meticulousness in many aspects.

He is much more difficult to deal with than the dog-headed man in the previous investigation team.

Therefore, in the past two Naroya days, Baron Bezos felt a sense of trepidation.

Don't look at Sir Arnel and the iguana man Lazarus who have never left the castle.

But this matter is like a time bomb for Baron Bezos, after all, he doesn't know what the two are planning.

They could only try their best to meet the requirements of Sir Arnel and Lazarus in daily life.

Not only did they send the most beautiful maids, but they also prepared a variety of fruit snacks and the sour catfish that the iguanas loved.

They wished they would indulge in it.

According to the instructions left by Chen Xuan, they could delay it for a day.

When the conscription order was implemented, they would send the two gods away completely.

At dinner time, Baron Bezos returned to the castle on time.

As the host in public, he had to fulfill his obligation to accompany the guests for dinner.

During the meal, Sir Arnel Reyes changed his previous stereotype and became particularly talkative.

He took the initiative to talk about interesting stories among the nobles of the giant city, and even told a few not-too-rude jokes.

This made the obese Lady Zuzana Finley laugh non-stop.

At the same time, it also made Baron Bezos, who had been nervous for a long time, relax a lot.

Because the iguana Lazarus had a different eating habit from humans, he did not eat at the same table with them.

The dining room of the castle is very large, with two small halls connected to each other.

Lazarus has a separate dining table in another small hall.

The table is full of rotten catfish, rotten pork, rotten beef and other rotten pickled products.

It doesn't mind it, nor does it feel discriminated against.

After all, although the iguanas can walk upright and have good wisdom, they are not of the same ethnic group as humans.

They are of different ethnic groups, so there is no discrimination.

Just like Baron Bezos and Sir Arnel Reyes can't accept its rotten food.

The iguana Lazarus can't accept the seemingly exquisite human food on the table.

And it doesn't have much interest in talking, and it wishes it could have a full meal quietly at a table alone.

Baron Bezos was in high spirits because he was relaxed again, so he toasted frequently during the meal.

Even though he has a silver-level physique.

But if you drink too much wine brewed with special fruits and grains, you will also appear in a state similar to drunkenness.

Fortunately, Baron Bezos never forgot his mission and Chen Xuan's instructions.

So he stopped drinking decisively after he felt tipsy.

And Sir Arnel Reyes, who had gold-level strength, was not drunk at all.

He casually picked up a piece of perfectly roasted pan-fried barbarian beef shoulder and chewed it with relish.

He glanced at Baron Bezos's slightly hazy eyes and couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

After swallowing the meat in his mouth, Sir Arnel elegantly picked up the napkin and wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth.

After putting down the napkin, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine.

Just when Baron Bezos was about to continue joking with him.

He restrained his smile.

"Baron."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"While the atmosphere at the table is still relaxed, please forgive me for taking the initiative to perform my duties as an inspector."

"There are three questions below. Please answer them truthfully."

Arnel Reyes' tone became particularly serious, and his eyes became sharper.

It seemed that the previous ease and happiness was just an illusion.

Hearing the noise from the restaurant next door,

Lazarus, the iguana man who was feasting on sour beef, pulled his palate and showed an ugly smile.

There were many green meat threads in the gaps between the sharp teeth like daggers.

The beef that has been pickled still retains its fibrous texture.

Some of the proteins were hydrolyzed by acid, giving off that strong odor.

But the stench is only for humans.

To iguanas, kobolds, and some reptile monsters, the smell is not a bad smell but a delicious smell.

It kept moving and continued stuffing beef into its mouth.

Because Lazarus understood that Anel was going to take action.

Previously, Sir Anel also said that there was no need to go out to find flaws in Magtan City.

Now it seems that he was right.

The biggest flaw is not Magtan City but Baron Bezos, who looks no different from usual.

When Arnel suddenly became angry, Baron Bezos, who was holding a knife and fork, suddenly froze, and then stopped eating.

After just pondering for a moment, he smiled heartily.

"There is no problem."

"I will cooperate."

"Please ask."

He also picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, trying his best to be natural.

Anel Reyes's expression seemed to be frozen, without any change.

It looks like it is carved from wood.

He stretched out a knuckle and tapped lightly on the table.

The rhythmic "ta-da-da" sound made the atmosphere even weirder.

After more than ten seconds, Sir Anel Reyes raised a finger and asked.

"first question."

"How did Magtan City survive the previous demonic disasters."

"And that dragon."

"I have read the report you submitted."

"The origins of the unknown Zerikan female warrior cannot be traced at all."

"And there are still a lot of details that are hazy."

"For example, in addition to the magic dragon, there should be many guardian-level monsters when the magic disaster breaks out."

"And judging from the scale of the void passage appearing here."

"The number of monsters that come every cycle should be no less than 100,000."

"Coupled with the monsters that may be accumulated or remaining in the surrounding caves, the total number can reach hundreds of thousands."

"And the garrison in Magtan City, including the light cavalry battalion, is only about 40,000."

"With the presence of the demonic dragon and high-level guardian-level monsters, these hundreds of thousands of monsters are enough to destroy Magtan City."

"Even mobilizing the entire city as stated in the report you submitted may be difficult to resist."

Anel Reyes' tone was calm, but full of oppression.

When he said these words, his eyes were always looking directly at Baron Bezos without shifting his gaze.

You must know that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Eye contact is the easiest way to reveal your inner thoughts.

At the same time, eyes can also convey the pressure of emotions and breath.

Baron Bezos is somewhat overwhelmed by this kind of scene.

But he soon remembered Chen Xuan's advice.

Immediately he laughed.

"The female warrior Zerikan seems to have inherited some ability from the Sword Master."

"She was very strong, and the demonic dragon was not at its peak, so she was killed by the female warrior."

"The same goes for those guardian-level monsters."

"After losing the cover of high-level monsters, although it is very difficult for Magtan City to resist those low-level monsters that rely on the terrain and the strength of the entire city, they can still achieve the final victory."

"About this, the ruins outside the city can prove it."

"At that time, the monsters broke through the third circle, and dozens of towers there collapsed."

"In addition, a group of monsters used special rituals to raid the inner circle."

Having said that, Baron Bezos raised his finger and pointed at the mottled walls outside. There were still traces of previous demonic disasters on them, including some dents made by monsters on the wall, as well as the black infiltration of the stone. Blood.

Anel Reyes glanced in his direction and nodded slightly, confirming his answer.

At this time, Baron Bezos added.

"That female warrior took away most of the materials for high-level monsters."

"There are still some broken limbs of dragons and guardian-level monsters left in the city."

"The incisions are all smooth."

"The biggest crisis at that time was when monsters broke into the inner circle through rituals."

"If the second circle of defense hadn't successfully blocked the monster attack from foreign objects and after shrinking the defense, some of the surplus troops would have been able to come to support."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to see me now."

When Baron Bezos said this, he patted his chest with lingering fear.

This is not an act, but an expression of true feelings.

The situation at that time was indeed critical.

If Chen Xuan hadn't arrived with that mysterious force and the second circle had indeed shrunk its defenses and sent reinforcements, there was a high probability that the castle would have been demolished by the crazy monsters.

So he didn't lie.

And speaking of it, it was indeed the strong female Zerikan who was responsible for entangling the monsters at that time.

Baron Bezos indeed had little communication with her.

The vague description at this time was in line with his normal reaction and performance.

Sir Arnel lowered his head in confusion and thought for a moment.

Some time has passed since Magatan City was invaded by monsters, and many traces have become difficult to trace. In fact, he originally wanted to visit the city.

However, considering that the investigation team was suddenly attacked by a succubus before, he decided to be more cautious.

It was at that time that Magatan City submitted a report of the demonic disaster, as well as video footage of the attack on the investigation team.

He had also seen the influence within the image crystal.

It is no exaggeration to say that the leading succubus is definitely at the level of a demon general.

What just puzzled him was that the succubus clearly showed its intention to attack Magtan City at that time, but then it hurriedly left in the direction of the night sentry point as if it was chasing something.

This was also a situation that puzzled the city’s think tanks at the time.

Thinking of this, Sir Anel raised his head again.

"Okay, I understand."

He did not comment on Baron Bezos's answer, but said that he understood it.

It is not appropriate to draw any conclusions at this time.

Anel firmly believed that as long as he asked the remaining two questions, he would get the answers he wanted.

After pondering for a while, he continued.

"Then the second question comes."

"There seems to be some problems with Magtan City's recent population mobility."

"Based on the data reported from the surrounding settlements and cities in the past few Narayari days,"

"Almost since the magic disaster, they have not seen adventurers or mercenaries leaving Magtan City."

"In addition, caravans sent from those settlements found that most of the commercial streets in Magatan City are at a standstill."

"How should you explain this?"

This question was a bit tricky, but Baron Bezos breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had already prepared a plan for this situation.

He frowned slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine before answering.

"Here's the thing."

"But in order to resist the demonic disaster, I spent a lot of money to hire and mobilize adventurers and mercenaries."

"You should know that the area around Magtan City was shrouded in a dark mandala light curtain at that time."

"Those people can't follow them. The only way to survive is to participate in the resistance against the monsters."

"And when there are signs of the void passage before the monster comes, I order all the villages, farms and small settlements around the city to evacuate to Magatan City."

"At that time, it took one or two Narayas before and after the Void Channel was completely formed."

"After the war, I still maintained an employment relationship with those adventurers and mercenaries, because manpower was needed to rebuild the city, and Magtan had already paid tens of millions of crowns for this."

"The last thing is about the shopping street."

"The magic disaster caused great trauma to Magatan."

"In the haste, there was no time to resume operations of all shopping streets."

"Most of the monster materials we obtained were sold to a buyer at Black Leaf Sentinel."

"And we also bought a lot of materials from the sentry point on the spot."

Baron Bezos said that these words are half true and one half false.

As for the mysterious buyer, it is naturally Chen Xuan.

And there are traces of Magtan City purchasing supplies from the merchant shop at Black Leaf Outpost, which is not a lie.
