Chapter 81 Who Gave Them the Guts?

A biting chill surged into Zeberto's heart in an instant, making his entire scalp feel a little chilly.

It's just that some locals are making trouble. It's not terrible. As long as the other party asks for conditions, it proves that there is room for negotiation.

But once a dead person appeared, it was two completely different things.

The Dro people have always been known for their solidarity and xenophobia, and now such a murder has happened at this time, and the murder weapon is obviously the magic crossbow in the hands of the mine guards, that is to say, this is Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Kill first!

Faced with this situation, there is no need to guess how the Dro people will react!

Sure enough, as soon as the screams came out, the crowd that was still silent just now boiled instantly, and the faces of countless people who had maintained restraint had been completely replaced by anger at this moment.

"Kill these bastards from other races!"

"Kill them all!"

"kill……"

...

The crowd dazzled by the blood was completely irrational. Although the fifty guards were still holding magic crossbows and blocking the gate, they did not dare to continue firing the crossbows, so under the impact of nearly a thousand people, , They didn't even block it in the blink of an eye, and they were already broken through the blockade by the tide-like crowd, and they all poured into the mine.

"That guy over there is the leader of the mine, kill him!"

Suddenly another shout broke out from the crowd, and then the people who had poured into the mine like headless flies turned their heads to look in the direction where Zeberto and Abach were, and after a while, they turned to this side rushed over together.

Abach's face turned pale in an instant, and he pulled Zeberto hard.

"Go!"

Zeberto staggered two steps from being pulled by Abach, but after he regained his composure, he shook off Abach, grabbed his hand, and shouted loudly: "You are the person in charge of the mine, how can you run away at this time? !"

Abach glanced at Zeberto in astonishment, and said eagerly: "Do you still think these lunatics can't be reasonable? Run first! At worst, let the guards take the mine back later. Go! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Zerberto shook Abach's hand again angrily.

"As a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Running away at this time is to abandon the trust of the Chamber of Commerce in us!"

After finishing speaking, Zeberto ignored Abach's loud shout behind him, and walked towards the rushing crowd.

As he walked, he raised his hands high and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please calm down! I am..."

"Whoosh—"

A few crossbow bolts shot out from nowhere. One of them just pierced Zeberto's neck, instantly blocking the second half of his words.

Zeberto touched his neck in astonishment, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The severe cold in the winter of 3802 in the continental calendar has not yet completely passed, and a shocking news has spread throughout the Sainz continent, adding a bit of chill to the entire continent.

mid-March. In a mine located in the northwest of the Dro Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly had a conflict between the local Dro tribe and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mine.

This is no ordinary conflict.

In this conflict, 3 local Dro people died directly, more than a dozen were seriously injured, and hundreds were slightly injured. It can be said that the consequences were extremely serious.

However, compared with the losses of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the losses of the local Dro people are nothing at all.

During the conflict, the mine of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was completely occupied by the rioting local Dro people. Almost all the equipment in the mine was damaged to varying degrees, resulting in direct and indirect economic losses of at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

But compared to the economic loss, what is really serious is the loss of personnel.

in conflict. The employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the mine were directly attacked by the rioting local Dro people, and as many as ten employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were killed on the spot. injured, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Among these casualties, the most serious one was dispatched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be the captain of the mineral transport team responsible for the major minerals of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Wales and its neighboring countries, and also responsible for the inspection and liaison work of the major minerals. Zerberto also died directly in the conflict.

This is the highest-ranking member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who died in this conflict, and also the highest-ranking member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who died in an accident since its establishment more than 20 years ago.

As soon as the incident happened, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce issued a public statement immediately. He strongly condemned the atrocities committed by the local Dro people and issued a serious warning to the Dro kingdom.

At the same time, the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stationed near the city of Dro, the capital of the Dro clan, set off immediately to deal with the follow-up matters at the scene of the incident. At the same time, try to rescue more than forty employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who have lost contact.

After the news was voluntarily disclosed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the first reaction of almost everyone else was that the Dro Kingdom was doomed this time.

During the riots in the Dro Kingdom a few years ago, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses in it, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce unceremoniously sent a guard, and gained certain dominance over the Dro Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Now this kind of thing happened again in the Dro Kingdom. It is simply another good excuse for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, enabling the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to strengthen its control over the Dro Kingdom more confidently.

Even as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing, it may even destroy the Dro Kingdom.

With the powerful combat power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort, no one doubts that they can do this.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the incident and warned the Dro Kingdom, the Candela Empire suddenly issued a statement through the official newspaper.

In this statement, the Candela Empire stated that in the bloody clashes at the Namco Mine, it was not the locals of the Dro ethnic group who took the initiative, but the mine guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce shot and killed a conflicting crowd first, which triggered the crowd. The riot, in fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should bear the main responsibility for this incident.

Moreover, the person who was shot at the beginning was not actually a local Dro, but a Candela!

As soon as this statement from the Candela Empire came out, it immediately caused a shock.

What shocked people was not the so-called "truth in the conflict" announced by the Candela Empire, but why the Candela Empire made such a statement.

Although this bloody conflict was serious, before that, it was just a matter between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Dro Kingdom.

With the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and what happened during the previous riots in the Dro Kingdom, no one thinks that the Dro Kingdom can withstand the pressure of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time. In the end, they can only bow their heads and let Xinfei Chamber of Commerce handles this.

But now the Candela Empire suddenly jumped out, and stated that the most critical person in the conflict who was shot and killed was actually a member of the Candela Empire. What does this mean?

Could it be that...the Candela Empire really wants to get involved in this matter, and even...have a hard time with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

If this matter is just a matter between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Dro Kingdom, then it doesn't matter which party started first. Anyway, the Dro Kingdom has no way to resist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But if that person is from Candela, and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce shoots and kills it first, it will give the Candela Empire a good excuse to intervene in this matter.

Moreover, the Candela Empire actually chose to intervene unexpectedly, which really surprised everyone.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with the Candela Empire's approach.

People from the Candela Empire were killed by the guards of a chamber of commerce in other countries, so as the motherland, of course we should stand up for this person and find out the truth.

But in fact, the Candela Empire has been cooperating closely with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in recent years, and the relationship between the two parties is like glue. Even if the person killed was really a Candela, the Candela Empire shouldn't have stepped forward.

Even if the Candela Empire has any opinion on this, at most they will discuss it with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in private, and the two sides will reach an agreement in secret, and let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do some compensation and understand the matter.

As a result, the Candela Empire has disclosed this matter to the public, and even directly accused the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce of maliciously fabricating facts, which is too disrespectful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Could it be that... there is a rift in the cooperation between the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

On April 2, half a month after the bloody incident at the Namco Mine, the Kandela Empire announced that it would send an investigation team into the Dro Kingdom to investigate the details of the bloody conflict.

And the day before that, the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stationed in Deluo City, the capital of the Dro tribe, had sent a team of 500 people into the Namco Mine to investigate the incident and try to recover the fallen land. into mines controlled by the local Dro people.

At the same time, the Dro Kingdom officially issued a statement, willing to actively cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire to conduct a detailed investigation of this incident.

Officials of the Dro Kingdom stated that they are willing to help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce find out the truth of the incident, and try their best to ensure the safety of employees under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, if the investigation results of the incident show that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually the wrong party as the Candela Empire said, then the Dro Kingdom will lodge a serious protest to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to seek justice for the local Dro people.

This official statement of the Dro Kingdom also aroused various doubts from the outside world.

Since the riots in the Dro Kingdom a few years ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took action to suppress it. Although the Dro Kingdom did not perish, it was suppressed to death by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In the past few years, it has not made any voice of its own. .

However, at this critical juncture, the official of the Dro Kingdom suddenly jumped out, claiming that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should return the Dro people justice...

Who gave them the guts?

Is it the Candela Empire?

With such doubts, the eyes of the entire Sainz Continent instantly focused on the small Namtso Mine. (~^~)
