full-time lord

Chapter 149 Earl Hawke's Order

The fire in the Earl's Mansion in Satuba City has been extinguished, but the ruins have not been able to be cleaned up at all, and they look very embarrassed.

As far as the eye can see, it is devastated and in a mess.

As the lord of Satuba City, although Earl Hawke has always looked very cunning, he is full of vitality.But today, his eyes were dull.

Everything he experienced just now made him very uncomfortable.

Standing on the city wall, like a sculpture, he didn't move for a long time, letting the cold wind blow by.

"My lord, it's cold at night, please put on your coat!" At this time, his loyal guard brought a coat and was about to put it on him.

"No, let me be alone for a while." Earl Hawke waved his hand as if he was not affected by the cold weather in the desert at night.

Judging from his hoarse voice and troubled expression, he doesn't want to be disturbed now.Seeing the scene in front of them, the guards quickly stepped aside.

They knew that when the count in front of him was expressionless, it was when he was the most angry.If he berated you loudly, he might be in the right mood at that time.Of the guards who knew all this, naturally no one dared to touch this bad head.

"Most half of the warehouse's goods, bastard!"

Earl Hawk clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was already boiling with anger.Last night's loss was a catastrophe for such a stingy man.

This feeling is more distressing than the death of his only biological son.

Earl Hawke has been planning for a long time.The purpose is to destroy the Fiery Sand Pirates and devour the goods they robbed.Unexpectedly, she made a wedding dress for someone else.

For Turandot's Blazing Sand Pirates, it took Earl Hawke three years from the beginning of support to the final preparation for elimination.At the beginning, he hoped to use the Fiery Sand Bandit Group to plunder the goods for him, and this would just deter Tuba's Gale Wind Sand Bandit Group, so that they would not be the only one.

At the beginning, he once wanted to swallow the entire Galewind Sand Pirates, but in the end he failed.Tus, the father of Tuba and Turandot, is a leader among the Sand Pirates, a generation of heroes.

Even an old fox like Earl Hawke didn't take advantage of him in many years of confrontation.

Later, Earl Hawke adopted a policy of peace and wanted to take the leadership of the Galewind Sand Bandit without bloodshed, but unexpectedly attracted Tuba's backlash, making his wishful thinking come to nothing, and lost his only biological son.

Although he was very distressed, Earl Hawke was still a person who could afford to let go. He quickly came out of the pain of losing his son, took in a few more concubines, and planned to have a few more.

However, because of this accident, the dominance of a sand bandit group in the desert was broken.The rise of the Blazing Fire Sand Pirates and Thunder God Sand Pirates rapidly expanded his power in the desert.

And the goods looted by these people were continuously transported to the city of Satuba, and became the private collection of Earl Hawke himself, making his amazing wealth.

Later, Tuba also contacted him through relationships and promised to pay him a lot of goods and wealth.At this time, his concubine had already given birth to a son.As for his dead son, Earl Hawke didn't particularly like it.Otherwise, he would not be allowed to be a Sand Pirate.

At this time, he took advantage of the opportunity to accept Tuba's goods and forgave him for his past behavior.

Just when he was smug and ready to unify the desert and go further, he didn't expect Turandot to disobey his order and wipe out the Gale Sand Bandit.

This private action made Earl Hawk very dissatisfied and very alert.Only at this time did he discover that the Thunder God Sand Bandit, which originally belonged to him, was faintly suspected of being controlled by Turandot.

Since Turandot was once the fiancée of the leader of the Thunder God Sand Pirates, and she is very powerful, she is a hero among women. In the entire Thunder God Sand Pirates, she has many admirers.

Slowly, Earl Hawke, the secretive boss, was not even as good at talking as Turandot.

In Earl Hawke's view, the first condition to become his subordinate is to be obedient.As Turandot's power continued to grow, he did not listen to his words.

The tail is too big, the super sand bandit group Lihuo Sand Bandit with thousands of people, and his partner Thor Sand Bandit Group, the forces are already vaguely capable of confronting Satuba City.

With this in mind, the later Earl Hawk slowly dealt with Turandot.

For him, apart from Turandot's disobedience, another important reason is that Turandot's sand bandits have accumulated too much wealth.

Although the money for each shipment of materials is seventy-three cents, after three years, it has become a sky-high figure.Earl Hawke didn't want to give Turandot so much money at all.

And if the Liehuo Sand Bandits were eliminated, he could just give an explanation to the many ministers and nobles in the imperial capital who criticized him for being with the Sand Bandits.

"Whoever said that I, Earl Hawke, was covering up the sand bandits and a nest of snakes and rats, it was because the time was not ripe and I didn't do anything." In this way, not only was he not guilty, but he would be rewarded for destroying the sand bandits.

"The pig is fattened up, so let's slaughter it!" For Earl Hawke, the Fire Sand Bandit is just a pig raised in his hands.In his opinion, killing such a fat pig is not a big problem at all.

Because of this, he made a plan and arranged several masters to take Turandot's life.But the plan can't keep up with the change.

Unexpectedly, after this fierce fight, not only did he fail to kill the pig, but he was injured by the pig and suffered heavy losses.

The loss of hundreds of soldiers, the lost wealth, and most of the supplies in the warehouse, as well as the Earl's mansion that was turned into ashes, all made him very angry.

Not only that, but what made him even more angry was that the culprit had not been caught yet.

"Any news about Turandot?" Earl Hawke, who came back to his senses, asked his guards.

One of his personal guards came over and said respectfully: "Report to the Earl, there is no news yet. But the subordinates have already sent people to look for the news carefully!"

"Trash, what can you do! You can't even catch a wounded woman, and you're a bunch of idiots!" At this moment, he was furious, and slapped the hapless guard far away.

The hapless confidant spit out blood from his mouth, and a bloody tooth fell out of it.At this time, he walked over enduring the pain and said, "My lord, I still have something to report."

"What's the matter?" Earl Hawk said impatiently.

The unlucky guard said respectfully: "According to our people's inquiries, many of the goods we lost in the warehouse were taken away by Duke Evans who came to the mansion yesterday."

"He took it, is the news true?" Earl Hawke asked with a gloomy expression when he heard the news.

Due to the loss of a tooth, the guard's speech was a bit leaky, "Yes (hiss), I can be sure, we have already found out, it is true."

Another guard stepped forward and said, "My lord, someone dared to snatch our goods. It's really boring. Why don't you send someone to grab it back immediately."

"This one……"

Earl Hawke weighed the pros and cons, and found that it would be of no benefit to him if this matter was made a big deal.

The identity of Marshal Zhao Feng's grandson is already enough to give him a headache. If the news that Satuba City was attacked just now is spread to the imperial capital, his face will definitely be lost.

Not only that, this money was originally intended to be used by him to frame Zhao Feng and put him on the same front as him.But now if he forcibly snatches this batch of goods, it will not only cause disputes, but also expose the fact that these materials are stolen goods.Not only that, he also collected [-] gold coins from Zhao Feng.If there is a dispute, the other party can still refuse to admit that he bought these goods.The goods he lost may have been snatched by sand robbers.

If there was a dispute over this batch of goods, he might have to bear the wrath of the imperial capital.In this way, the ministers of the imperial capital who are very dissatisfied with him can add another charge to impeach him.

If these things were completely exposed, even if he had nine lives, it would not be enough to kill him.What's more, his current strength has been greatly weakened, and he has no strength to challenge the imperial capital at all.

"That kid, you're so accurate!" Earl Hawke thought for a while, and found that he had no way to get these goods back, so he could only swallow this dark loss.

"Unexpectedly, he is smarter than me."

Thinking of Zhao Feng being able to enter the city to collect goods in a chaotic time, Earl Hawke felt very headache and very angry, but he was helpless.

"Forget it, don't pursue it!" Earl Hawke sighed, but he was not happy at all.

This move of his attracted the surprised gazes of the guards.These people did not expect that Earl Hawke, who used to be so penny-pinching, would suffer a day.

However, soon Earl Hawke said again: "You inform the Desert Five Eagles and the Thunder God Sand Pirates, tell them to lie in Dak. Evans ambushed in the middle of the route, and set up an ambush. Tell them to take back the goods, but don't Kill that earl. Remember to do it cleanly."

"Yes, Lord Earl." After hearing Hawke's words, the guards felt that he had become normal.

After thinking for a while, Earl Hawke said: "Forget it, tell them, don't keep alive, do everything cleanly, and don't leave any traces."

Seeing Hawke's sinister face and cold eyes, the guard was taken aback, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Lord City Master, I'll pass the order right away."

Seeing the guard walking away, Earl Hawke snorted coldly, and said with a cruel expression: "If you want to swallow my goods, you have to pay the corresponding price. The grandson of the marshal, so what! Anyway, in the desert There are so many disasters, maybe you will encounter a hurricane!"
