Chapter 83 Surprise Change

Captain Uther glanced expressionlessly at Earl Zidal and nodded.

"Okay, here you go."

Resas and Floyd exchanged a surprised look.

In the bloody conflict in Namtso, apart from more than ten employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who were killed on the spot, and the whereabouts of more than forty employees were unknown, the most important parties involved were the other fifty mine guards who were present at the time.

Because these fifty guards were all local Dro tribes hired locally, they basically survived the conflict, and even a few simply turned their backs and mixed into the rioting crowd.

Later, Resas led his men down to the Nam Co Mine, and after driving out the rioters, he arrested all the six mine guards who had mixed in, and prepared to interrogate them as witnesses.

However, Resas then received an order from above, asking them to hand over these witnesses to the Kandela Empire investigation team that came later, and let them conduct inquiries and investigations first.

Although Resas was extremely dissatisfied, he was forced to obey the order from above and hand him over, and he was scheduled to come back in three days.

Because these witnesses were the eyewitnesses who knew the specific situation best at that time, they were actually very important. Originally, Resas thought that the Candela Empire would not be able to release them so easily.

Unexpectedly, now that he came to open his mouth casually, Captain Uther agreed.

After being stunned for a moment, although Resas felt a little abnormal, he nodded immediately and said: "Okay, hand them over now, we still have something to ask."

Captain Uther turned his head and explained to a subordinate next to him, and that subordinate ran into the camp, apparently to prepare.

Resas glanced at Captain Uther, who always seemed to have a blank face, and then at Earl Zidal, who was also indifferent, and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

However, he is currently in front of the military camp of the Candela Empire, but he can't do much, so he can only wait quietly.

After a while. Two Candela Empire soldiers galloped out of the camp in an open carriage.

Resas saw from a distance the figures protruding behind the open carriage and the rags covering them, and his expression sank.

When the carriage approached, he strode up. As soon as he lifted the rag, he saw the six corpses on the carriage piled up in disorder in the carriage, like torn sacks, lifeless for a long time.

These six corpses were of course the six mine guards who were arrested.

Resas glanced at the six corpses. After confirming that no one survived, he turned his head to look at Captain Uther, his face sinking like water.

"How is this going?"

"What's going on? Didn't you want me to return them to you? I have already returned them." Captain Uther replied calmly, still with a blank expression.

"What a fart!" Resas was furious. "Three days ago, what I handed over to you were six alive and kicking people, and now you give me back six corpses? Is this called giving back to me?"

"Captain Resas, please pay attention to your words." Captain Uther's expression didn't change at all. "When we made the agreement three days ago, we didn't say whether the ones we returned to you were living or dead, so it's not a breach of the contract."

"You..." Resas pointed at Captain Uther angrily, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Earl Zidar who was beside him with a snickering face, and thought about it. He put down his hand, took a deep breath, and managed to regain his composure. "Well, tell me now, how did they die?"

"It's nothing, we used a little trick to extract a confession, they couldn't survive and died, that's it." Captain Uther replied.

"Small means? Well...very good..." Resas was so angry that his hands trembled, wishing he could punch Captain Uther's log-like face.

These six guards were extremely important witnesses in this incident, but now all of them are dead. Doesn't it mean that the truth of this matter will be hidden?

And in the end, their testimony was all in the hands of the Candela Empire, so the Candela Empire can completely fabricate it at will, which will naturally be extremely detrimental to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, if this is based on the fact that the Candela Empire really wants to compete with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on this matter.

Although this possibility should not be great. But if the final result of this incident is not good for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will easily affect the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it will be a blow to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of the endless suffocation he has felt since these guys from the Candela Empire came here, and now that he has come up with such a result, Resas couldn't help but feel angry.

Yet he was also very clear. He can't do anything until there is no order from above.

So he stared at Captain Uther for a while, then turned and left.

Floyd, who stayed behind, coughed lightly, waved to the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce behind him, and motioned them to pull the carriage away, then nodded to Captain Uther, turned and left.

After returning to the guard camp of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Resas was waiting for Freud in his exclusive barracks.

At this time, Lessard didn't look angry at all, his expression was very calm, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Floyd, do you feel something is wrong?"

"Of course." Floyd nodded. "They didn't surprise us by killing the six witnesses, but it's a bit strange that they did it so clearly and without any concealment."

"Yes. Combined with the actions of these guys these days, I even suspect that they are deliberately trying to provoke us. But they are very restrained and do not confront us head-on. Could it be that...they have been waiting We strike first? But what good does it do them?"

Floyd thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly.

"I don't know. There is too little information to judge."

"That's right." After thinking for a while, Lessard suddenly asked Floyd: "How sure are you that you can sneak in without being discovered?"

"If there are no magicians of level eight or above in the opponent's camp, then I'm 100% sure."

"Well, go try it tonight and see if you can find out anything."

"In case the opponent has a magician of level eight or above..."

"If you are discovered, you should withdraw immediately. If you can't do it, you should reveal your identity. I don't believe they dare to do anything to you."

"it is good."

into the night.

A subtle air fluctuation followed the night and quietly flowed into the Kandela Empire military camp outside the Nam Co Mine, heading straight for the center.

This fluctuation didn't stop until it reached a tent that was obviously larger than the surrounding area.

In the shadow of the camp tent, a faint, extremely faint figure appeared. The figure that ordinary people can't find at all is Freud.

After sneaking into the camp where the commander supposedly lived, Floyd slowed down his movements and tried his best to suppress the magic fluctuations in his body and the surrounding space. Even breathing almost stopped.

As a high-level elf warrior, this is an ability unmatched by Floyd's other colleagues in the escort team, and it is also a unique skill of elf warriors.

Because of this skill, when the guards need to carry out stealth and stealth operations, they will send elf guards to carry out them.

But this time the task is more special. It is also more important, which is why Lesas asked Freud to go out in person.

After waiting quietly for a moment and confirming that he was not discovered by anyone, Floyd slowly gathered the magic power in his ears again to strengthen his hearing.

After a while, various noisy sounds from around the camp reached his ears.

However, Freud listened for a long time, but found that there was no sound at all in the tent beside him.

Floyd couldn't help being a little weird.

It's not surprising that a lowly human nobleman like Earl Zidal would do something at night, but Captain Uther should stay in the camp at night no matter what he said, why didn't he make any movement?

Floyd thought for a moment, then held up a finger. Very carefully reveal a trace of magic.

However, until his magic power touched the tent, there was still no change or influence.

Now it can be confirmed that this camp did not deliberately set up soundproof magic.

"This is strange, these guys are not staying in the camp, what are they doing?"

Floyd slightly strengthened the magic elements condensed in his ears, further strengthened the magic power, and received the sound of the entire camp into his ears.

But even so, he still didn't hear any voices from Captain Uther and Earl Zidal.

What made her even more surprised was that the sound in this camp was obviously much quieter than he had imagined.

Although there was a lot of noise, compared to a camp of 2,000 people. But it was too quiet.

But now is not the time to think about this issue. After listening for a while, Floyd hesitated for a while after confirming that there were still no voices from Captain Uther and Earl Zidal. Lie down on the ground, reached out and opened a corner of the camp tent, and leaned over to look inside.

It turned out to be a tent with a huge space, and it had been completely lit by a magic lamp, so it could be seen clearly.

However, Captain Uther and Earl Zidal were indeed absent in the tent, and there was only one in the middle of the tent who looked about sixty years old from the outside. An old man in a black robe is sitting on the ground.

As soon as Floyd's eyes fell on him, the old man reacted instantly. Huo Di turned his head, and a dazzling light shot out of his eyes, which happened to collide with Floyd's gaze.

"Oops!"

Floyd's heart tightened, and he re-condensed his magic power without hesitation, his body instantly melted into the darkness, and he turned around.

With just one glance, he was convinced that the old man in the camp was at least a powerful magician of level nine or even higher, and he was no match at all.

However, as soon as he moved his body, he suddenly felt the magic power in the surrounding space suddenly become chaotic, and a column of mud suddenly surged from the ground, directly condensing his legs together tightly, making him unable to move at all.

The next moment, the old magician suddenly appeared beside him, looking at him with an interesting expression.

"Elves? It's really hard to find such subjects..."

Floyd was shocked, but before he could utter a single syllable, he lost consciousness instantly.

The moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly found a flame shooting up into the sky from afar.

That direction seems to be the direction where the mine is located... (~^~)
