Chapter 91 Identity Exposed
Just when An Baichen was thinking about how to use the breath of the undead next, something closely related to An Baichen also happened in the continent of Esk.

Late at night, Esk Continent, Sand City, Awakened Chamber of Commerce.

"How about it? Have you received any specific news? By what means did Nigel subdue the entire Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce?"

Leonard sat on a chair and looked at the middle-aged knight.

They have been paying attention to the movements of the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce all day today. Leonard has even prepared the knight brigade and city guards led by the senior knights, and is waiting for the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce to make a move when there is internal strife. Jieer caught it, and then tortured to find out the whereabouts of the [-] secret stones.

Unexpectedly, in just two hours, the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce has undergone tremendous changes.

The picture of Nigel alone that Leonard expected did not appear. Before dark, news came from within the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce, announcing that Nigel had become the president of the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone in Sand City thought that Nigel's return to the headquarters of the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce must be a disaster. After all, the factional struggles within the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce were obvious to all.

When the news came that the Kentucky Alliance Chamber of Commerce had changed hands, all the chambers of commerce and caravans in the entire Sand City were shocked.

"My God, how on earth did Nigel do it?"

"What kind of magic did he use? Could it be that a wizard is helping him?"

"Where's the Knights of the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce? Did it fail so easily?"

In the streets and alleys of Sand City under the darkness of night, there were shocking discussions in taverns and hotels.

Every consortium has strong military support behind it. The Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce has a powerful knight group. How could it be so easily settled by Nigel alone?

Leonard in the Awakened Chamber of Commerce also couldn't figure this out. He frowned tightly: "How did Nigel do it?"

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and have no way of knowing."

The middle-aged knight knelt on the ground with a face full of shame. He really couldn't find out Nigel's means and secrets to subdue the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

"Is it because of those ten thousand secret stones?"

Leonard frowned and thought. No matter how he thought about it, he thought it was impossible. No matter how rare [-] secret stones were, it would not allow Nigel to master such a powerful force in just two hours, enough to overthrow the entire Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce. .

Due to Nigel's astonishing performance, Leonard was a little uncertain what kind of cards he had, which made Leonard, who had always been cautious, very aggrieved.

Leonard pondered for a while, then asked lightly, "Is there any news from Edora?"

Most of the chambers of commerce in Sand City focused on Nigel, ignoring Edra who left quietly. They all thought that since Edra had handed over [-] secret stones, it was worthless up.

Only a small number of people still focused on Edra, and noticed Edra's departure.

Leonard had already sent spies to secretly follow Edlar's convoy when Eddra left, trying to find the gathering place where Edora was.

"Lost."

The middle-aged knight was ashamed to the extreme. He lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, I sent two teams of spies, but they all got lost."

"Edra's convoy is like the best hounds. They seem to be able to detect the stalkers. They circled around the Gobi and went to many dangerous areas. The spies suffered heavy losses, and only two came back."

"When I sent more spies, Edra's convoy quickly disappeared into the Gobi. All they left behind along the way were false traces, and it was impossible to continue tracking."

The middle-aged knight felt that he was so incompetent that he could lose track of such a big target as a team.

Hearing the middle-aged knight's words, Leonard's face was ashen. He looked at the middle-aged knight with gloomy eyes in silence. The middle-aged knight trembled all over and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look into the Duke's eyes.

He lost too much today, the Duke must be very dissatisfied.

When the middle-aged knight thought of the harsh punishment that the Duke had imposed on those who made mistakes, he couldn't help but tremble, and his heart became even more frightened.

"never mind."

Leonard sighed, and waved his hand: "It's not your fault, since Edra can have [-] secret stones, he must have a whole vein of secret stones."

"In Esk Continent, anyone who can own an entire mine of secret stones is not weak, and they all have their own secret methods. It's not your fault that you lost the convoy."

In the final analysis, the middle-aged knight was not to blame for this matter, he was already very cautious.

All of this can be blamed on Leonard being too greedy. He wants to have the [-] secret stones that Nigel owns, and he also wants to have the entire vein of secret stones behind Edra.

However, he didn't get neither Nigel's secret stone nor Edra's secret stone vein today, which is seriously inconsistent with Leonard's plan.

"My lord duke, what should we do now?" The middle-aged knight breathed a sigh of relief, and he quickly suggested: "My lord duke, why don't we send Lord Yadley and the knight brigade to go directly to the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce to capture Nigel? , asking about the whereabouts of the secret stone."

At least from now on, Nigel must have [-] secret stones in his hands, but he doesn't know where Nigel hid these secret stones.

Regardless of whether it is the Awakened Chamber of Commerce or the large and small forces in the Sand City, they have searched for a long time, and they have turned the Sand City upside down, but they still cannot find the secret stone hidden by Nigel.

"My lord, I think he must have hidden the secret stone in the headquarters of the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce. Nigel has just conquered the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce. At this time, the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce is at a critical moment of wealth consolidation and reorganization."

The middle-aged knight whispered: "If we send troops at night, it may have a miraculous effect."

"Do not."

Leonard shook his head and rejected the middle-aged knight's proposal. He said, "I still don't know what Nigel's hole card is. If you rush to kill him rashly, it will definitely cause damage to the Awakened Chamber of Commerce. You should send someone to keep an eye on it first." Everything about Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce and Nigel."

"Yes." Although the middle-aged knight didn't understand the Duke's plan, he still respectfully agreed.

The Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce was not weak in the first place, and now with the addition of Nigel, who can't see the details clearly, Leonard doesn't want to tear himself apart with the Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce at this time.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Leonard didn't make a move. Judging from the intelligence information he has so far, there is no uncertain risk in making a move on either Edra or Nigel.

Since there are risks in both, it is better to take action against the party that can obtain the greatest benefit.

Leonard's attention is always on Edra, and Nigel is just an optional target for him, but not the top priority.

As long as the secret stone veins behind Edra are captured, the capital will send a large army, and a mere Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than a palm.

"Wait."

Leonard walked to the window, looked at the moonlight, and muttered to himself: "If you count the time, there should be news from the capital."

Just as Leonard finished speaking, a servant outside the door hurried in, knelt down and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, an envoy has come from the capital and said that he has important information for you."

Leonard immediately turned around and said in a deep voice, "Let him in!"

A dusty low-level knight came in quickly. The first time he saw Leonard, he immediately knelt down, put his hands on his chest and said respectfully: "Your Excellency."

"Go ahead."

Leonard looked at the low-level knight and asked, "What information do you have for me from the capital?"

As early as when Edra first came to Sand City, Leonard used the magical items made by wizards to contact the capital overnight to explain the general situation clearly, and at the same time asked the ministers of the capital to help inquire about Edra. all the news.

He would do this every time there were travelers and businessmen in Sand City that Leonard wasn't sure about.

Relying on the powerful intelligence network of the Xusen Kingdom, it is enough to find out the details of most people, and he can provide detailed information to Leonard every time. The reason.

In business competition, enough intelligence can often play a decisive role.

"My lord duke, this is what my lord king asked me to give you."

The low-ranking knight took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, and handed it to Leonard respectfully. Leonard changed his face, and took the parchment with a serious expression.

The information that the king can personally pay attention to and submit must be very important. Could it be that this Mr. Edra has a lot of background?
Leonard unfolded the parchment, looked down, and his expression gradually became strange.

In fact, this Baron Edra has no background at all. According to the historical records of the aristocratic books of the Xusen Kingdom, he is a descendant of the founding hero of the Xusen Kingdom, the "Bright Knight".

In the Xusen Kingdom, the families of the heroes who founded the country have almost declined, and the Edra family is one of them. Arranged in the depths of the deserted Gobi.

The Gobi land outside the Sand City is very vast. Although it is the territory of the Xusen Kingdom in name, it is actually a barren land that no one cares about. It is full of dangers.

The fact that the territory was allotted here has already announced that the political career of this noble family has come to an end.

Mr. Edra is the lord in the depths of the Gobi territory. He is a baron noble of the lowest rank. There is not even a decent army of soldiers in the territory. It is just a group of farmers struggling to survive on the Gobi.

"It turns out that he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."

Leonard muttered to himself, he didn't have the anger after being cheated, but was full of excitement and surprise.

Now that the details and identity of Baron Edra are known, the next thing will be much easier.

"He may have recently discovered a mine of secret stones near his territory, so he rushed to Sand City to sell the secret stones, but because he knew that his true identity and strength could not protect the mine of secret stones, so he came Pretending to be profound."

Leonard lowered his head and thought: "Beside him is a group of weird servants in black robes, all of whom are probably stronger than low-level knights. These should be the family knights left by the Edra family, right?"

After all, the "Bright Knights" were powerful back then, and I heard that there were secret training methods. Although the Edra family is not looking good now, it shouldn't be strange to have a dozen or so family knights.

Who doesn't have any background?No matter how much the Edra family declines, the "Knight of Radiance" should have some trump cards to pass on to future generations, right?
When Leonard thought about it, his expression became more relaxed.

These men in black robes are family knights trained through some family secret methods. Although they are stronger than ordinary low-level knights, they are definitely not opponents of middle-level knights.

The rank division of knights is very strict, and there is absolutely no legendary story of a low-level knight defeating a middle-level knight.

"very good."

The smile at the corner of Leonard's mouth became more and more intense. He looked at the map embroidered on the reverse side of the parchment, which marked the location of Baron Edra's territory in detail.

"The secret stone mine you got is the property of the Xusen Kingdom. You have forgotten the loyalty and glory of the Shining Knight back then, but I have not forgotten."

"Let me replace your ancestors to re-fulfill the loyalty of the Edra family to the kingdom!"

Leonard looked up at the middle-aged knight, and said in a deep voice, "Go and inform Yadley that we will send troops overnight!"

"Ah? My lord, where are we going?"

The middle-aged knight was stunned for a moment, with a confused expression on his face. He didn't know the information on the parchment.

"Go to Baron Edra's territory."

Leonard narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely cruel: "Go and retrieve the secret stone mine that originally belonged to us for the King!"

　Ask for a recommendation ticket!

　　There are so few tickets, I am so sad.
