The liaison officer bowed next to Count Malen and reported the report softly.

Hearing this situation, Earl Malen frowned.

This is a sensitive period of turmoil in the kingdom. In the crowded dock market, someone actually committed a murder on the street.

Although the ones killed were all those foul-smelling little black street rats.

But this behavior is tantamount to the face of the governor of Tapang City.

The most outrageous thing is that after committing the murder, the four opponents summoned a large gryphon through some unknown means.

He rode a large griffon and fled the scene at an extremely fast speed. Even the counterattacks of the defense towers and sentries failed. At least thousands of people at the scene saw this scene.

At this time, the officials responsible for public security in the city were furious at the rangers patrolling the dock market today and the Nord soldiers at the surrounding outposts.

This kind of thing is like someone running up to them, slapping them in the face, and then walking away openly.

"Immediately increase the number of patrols in the three markets in the city."

"The number and frequency of night patrols will be doubled."

"The city is already planning to expand the army. I don't want any vicious incidents to happen in the city at this juncture!"

Earl Mullen said seriously.

"I understand, sir."

"Your will will be conveyed quickly."

The liaison officer did not dare to neglect, bowed and left Count Mullen's study.

Earl Mullen put the quill in his hand back into the ink bottle, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Great Griffon?"

"Since when are there gryphons near Wintrobon City?"

"Except for the Rotten Bone Forest at the border between Avalon and Nord."

"There should be no gryphon activity nearby."

"But I can't say for sure, the kingdom's biological map has not been updated for decades."

Earl Malen lowered his head and thought.

Unfortunately, no reasonable conclusion was drawn.

What he was most worried about was that the Trivasin family sent people to infiltrate the city.

With the strength of the Trivasin family, it would not be a problem to summon a group of high-level Nord warriors or epic-level mercenaries.

From a strategic perspective, this possibility is not high.

Because although Wintro State City is a large state city, it is not small in scale.

But it is only a terminal node in the southern basin.

Even if the ambitious queen really wants to attack the southern part of the kingdom, she should start from the upper reaches first.

Of course, no one can completely predict the behavior of the Trevoisin family.

Even if the probability is only one in 10,000, once it happens, it will be a disaster for Count Malen.

Strictly speaking, there are two ways to capture a state city.

The first is to simply and rudely attack directly, or to lead the team with an epic level strongman and lead high-level warriors to perform beheading operations, leaving the city leaderless and in chaos overnight.

The second type is to win over each other through private talks and coercion. It is said to be a game of power to make the governor of the state and all the nobles loyal to one's side.

The former is suitable for use when you have a crushing combat advantage. It consumes a lot of money, but the effect is good.

The latter has the lowest cost, but correspondingly, the effect is unsatisfactory, and the verbal contract is not binding in any way.

If the Trevoisin family prefers to use the second method, there is still room for maneuver.

But if the first option is adopted, the Kingdom of Nord will be devastated.

Specifically, it depends on the future situation of the kingdom.

Judging from the current situation and territory of the kingdom, it will take at least half a month to see clear changes.

As for his youngest daughter Zoe, he is not worried now that she has a place.

At this juncture when a civil war could break out in the kingdom at any time, it was the child Zoe who chose to run away from home that made him sad. However, he believed that the rangers would bring Zoe back within two hours at the latest.

.

The coordinates after the storage pendant is opened can be accurately positioned to a range of 100 meters.

Earl Mullen is very confident in this. The most important thing is that he knows that Zoe will definitely open the storage jewelry to take out supplies. Every time she opens it, the position will be fed back to the sensor ball.

Unless Zoe leaves the 10,000-kilometer range of the sensing sphere.

But this is absolutely impossible.

Even if Zoe rode a strong mixed-breed horse, she would have to travel for at least half a month.

This still does not take into account the impact of terrain and various unexpected events on the way.

Even if you are riding a high-level blade-winged falcon, it will take more than two days to fly and rest.

Unless Zoe leaves through the Bangcheng teleportation array or obtains a high-level teleportation scroll.

The former is under strict guard by the state army and is strictly prohibited from private use.

The latter is a precious space magic scroll, something that is priceless and cannot be bought at all.

As for private teleportation arrays or space mage, there is no need to consider them.

This probability is lower than the probability of Queen Sandina leading the Trevathin family to surrender to King Ragnar overnight!

He shook his head, calmed down his chaotic thoughts, and continued to handle the government affairs of the city.

…

In the wasteland on the southwest outskirts of Wintrobon City.

After the four of them rested for a while, twelve o'clock at noon officially arrived.

The sun above your head is in the middle line, and the shadows of the trees are relatively centered.

Zong Shen immediately took out [Anna's Divination Coin (Special)].

Select the effect [divination of bad luck].

This was the first time he used it since he got it through ten consecutive draws.

This kind of prop that can affect luck is somewhat of a gambling nature.

As the effect is selected, the coin spins and flies up.

Finally, it fell firmly back into Zong Shen's palm.

He opened his palms and saw the smiling masked witch.

Good luck!

According to the attribute description, Zong Shen's luck, or luck, will be improved to a certain extent in the next 24 hours!

With the blessing of great luck, it is most suitable for operations such as opening boxes, opening lucky bags or drawing points.

In fact, the strategy module cannot change Zong Shen's luck.

It can only be said that with the help of strategies, Zong Shen can reduce wrong behaviors and decisions, and reduce the chance of unlucky from a probabilistic level.

But [Anna's Divination Coin (Special)] can improve your illusory luck.

Provided its capabilities match its description.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No matter what, it is worth a try.

After returning to the territory, you can open a treasure chest to test the waters.

After completing the coin divination, Zong Shen did not want to delay.

Decided to set off immediately to raid the Aldrich Dance Company’s Bangcheng location!

Use the features of the big bag to rescue innocent dancing girls and gigolos and their relatives.

By the way, all the ill-gotten gains of the Aldrich Dance Company will be righteously confiscated!

After finishing, they still had to fly some distance on Eagle Sauce to reach the location of the teleportation beacon.

Calculated, it almost matches the return time.

This time Zong Shen and the hateful Eye of Cthulhu were no longer seen.

Nearly two days of teleportation back and forth made him physically and mentally exhausted.

I just want to open a box in the territory and rest.

There are still about three days left until the defensive challenge.

He plans to explore the ruins tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and will stay in the territory the day after tomorrow to make final preparations.
