The City Lord's aura suddenly became strong, but then he sat back down.
"Sigh, I also want to punish the culprit, but who is the culprit? Do you know? " The City Lord looked at the ten people one by one, but they all shook their heads. No one knew who did it.
"City Lord, if you can't do it, let's report this matter." A family leader suggested.
"No, once it's reported, I and you will all be punished, and we might even be executed. The loss this time is too big, not to mention in this situation." The City Lord directly refused.
"Hmm, we can't say it, or we won't be able to get away with it. The war is about to break out, and once it does, our money is all for the Empire, so we can only keep it a secret. Right now, the most important thing is to quickly get more money. Once the war starts, we can hand over the money and then get some supplies to distribute. We can tell the higher-ups that we've already used up all the money to reward the soldiers," a patriarch of a large family suggested.
"Good, this idea is good. This way, not only will the higher-ups not hold us responsible, they will even praise us." The City Lord's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just like that.
This time, the matter was suppressed once again.
In fact, the entire Sun Empire was the same. The reason why they risked their lives after going out was that their country's laws were very strict.
Once you didn't risk your life, even if you came back alive, you would be punished. Even your family would be implicated, and you would become a laughingstock.
Because of this, the people of the Sun Empire were not afraid of death.
They thought so, the second city of the four cities also thought so, and the third city was the same.
Half a year later!
Xiatian swept through more than three hundred level four cities.
He got a total of two trillion low-grade spirit stones and one trillion worth of materials.
One trillion was one trillion, which meant that Xiatian stole three trillion worth of wealth.
It could be said that this time, Xiatian made a fortune again.
However, good times didn't last long. Half a year later, Xiatian also found that these level four cities seemed to have received orders, and the security was very strict. Every treasure vault was heavily guarded.
Although he succeeded in stealing the last treasure vault, he was almost exposed. In the end, after killing everyone, he fled.
He knew that he must have attracted the attention of those people.
In fact, he knew that he would attract the attention of these people sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so late. He thought that he would be discovered long ago.
However, the people here were worried that they would be punished by the higher-ups, so they deliberately hid this.
Now that things had gotten out of hand, they couldn't hide it anymore.
This time, it wasn't just a single Level 5 city that knew about this matter. All the Level 5 cities in the Sun Empire knew about this matter. This time, they were all angry.
However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, they did not spread the news.
At this time, in a huge room, all the city lords of the 50 5th rank cities of the Sun Empire were sitting here. To be able to gather such a large group of people, this was no small matter.
Generally speaking, only the Sun Empire could gather them together, but now, it was no longer a matter of gathering.
This time, they did not report the matter to their superiors.
"Let's talk. How should we deal with this matter? Should we tell the higher-ups or not?" An old man slowly said.
"We can't tell them. What time is it now? The higher-ups are already worried enough. If we can't even deal with such a small matter, then how can we continue to be the city lord of a Level 5 city?" A City Lord of a Level 5 city directly said.
"En, I think what City Lord Feng said is reasonable. Our current position is not for enjoyment. Since we are sitting in this position, we have to share the worries of the Sun Empire. This time, such a big matter must be handled properly. The first person to know about this matter is City Lord Ino. You can talk about it first." Another City Lord of a Level 5 city said.
City Lord Ino was the one who issued the order for the Level 3 city to defend.
"Ai, this matter is also my fault. In the beginning, thousands of Level 3 cities were stolen. I secretly executed 100 City Lords of Level 3 cities, and then told other Level 3 cities to step up their vigilance. Although Level 3 cities were no longer stolen, I didn't expect that Level 4 cities would start to be stolen. I really forgot to remind the Level 4 cities at that time. I accept the punishment for this matter." City Lord Ino said.
"In fact, although City Lord Ino is a little incompetent, he has recovered the loss of Level 3 cities, so I think the merits should offset the demerits. However, those City Lords of Level 4 cities and big families must be punished." The old man slowly said.
Hearing his words, the crowd nodded in agreement.
The old man was the most authoritative person here. Although his tone was discussing, almost no one would object to what he said.
"Chiyo City Lord, just tell us how to punish them." Asked a City Lord directly.
"Now, it is possible to start a war. If they are directly executed, it will also be a loss for the Sun Empire. Then, temporarily remove their positions, and then let them go to the battlefield to atone for their crimes." The old man was Chiyo City Lord.
Hearing his words, everyone present nodded in agreement.
"Since the punishment has been done, then the next thing we need to think about is how to deal with this incident. We absolutely can't sit still and wait for death. Until now, we still don't know who the opponent is, and how many people there are. We only know that they can dig holes, but this doesn't stop them from continuing to steal things. Even if we let them pour everything into other warehouses, we still can't stop this person. Now, what we need to do is to figure out their situation, and then arrange an inescapable net to catch them. As long as we catch the thief, even if we only catch one person, we can follow the vine to the melon, and then we can take back all the things. This way, we can avoid losses, and what I value more is their ability to steal." Chiyo City Lord has regarded the thief as an organization, because he doesn't believe that it was a single person who stole things. First of all, digging holes is not something that one person can do.
Secondly, no one has that many storage rings.
He believes that as long as they catch one person, they can implicate the others, and finally take back all the lost things.
Moreover, they can also obtain the opponent's ability. As long as they obtain the opponent's ability, then they can use this trick to attack other big forces.
Even this trick can be used in a battle.
At this time, Xiatian already knew that he must have been targeted, but he didn't have the slightest fear.
