Sean couldn't be killed tonight. This was something that Meg already knew before he entered the lord's castle.
It was the eve of the peace conference, and the giant dragons chose to stand on the side of peace. Under the mediation of Chaos City, the goblins, dwarves, and the orc tribes led by the Falk Tribe would all stand up to renew the peace treaty.
The most important thing now was to make Andre sign the peace treaty and extend the Norland Continent's peace for another 100 years.
Cutting off one of Josh's ears was still within Andre's acceptable range. He could even pretend that nothing had happened and invite him to meet.
However, if Sean, who was representing the Roth Empire, died in Chaos City, Andre would have a legitimate reason to deploy his troops.
The Roth Empire's million-strong cavalry would only have Chaos City as their first target.
Meg couldn't let the millions of innocent citizens in Chaos City suffer because of him. Even if he wanted to kill Sean, he could only do it outside Chaos City, and draw a clean line between this matter and Chaos City.
As for that arm, it was a little interest that Meg had collected.
He wanted to let Sean and everyone else know that those who tried to provoke him would have to pay the price, even if he was the first prince of the Roth Empire.
…
"Captain, it's the signal to retreat!"
"Let's go. Leave the city immediately!"
"But that child might be inside …"
"Obey the order!"
"Yes!"
In Chaos City, all the black figures saw the dark red skeleton exploding in the direction of the city lord's castle. They all gave up on their target, and started to retreat out of the city.
To the Black Falcons who were good at stealth, although the city walls of Chaos City were tall, it wasn't difficult for them to climb over the walls and leave as long as they knew the patrolling pattern of the Gray Temple.
On the city walls, the Gray Temple's patrolling team had just left when a flying claw latched onto the top of the wall. Five men in black grabbed the rope and climbed up the city walls that were dozens of meters high in no time. Then, they fixed the flying claw on the other side of the city wall, and slid down the rope one after another.
"Crack!"
A sudden clap of thunder sounded, and a bolt of silver lightning struck under the terrified gazes of the men in black.
The rope broke instantly. Before they could even scream, they were struck by the lightning and turned into charcoal. They fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Why is there thunder all of a sudden?" The Gray Temple's scout turned to look at the sky in confusion.
"Did you hear any strange sounds when there was thunder?" someone asked in a low voice.
"No, it's just that the thunder is a little loud."
The scouts discussed for a while and did not notice a huge figure in the sky. Under the cover of the night, it quietly slipped past the city.
That night, a series of thunderclaps sounded in Chaos City.
Lightning flashed outside the city, causing people to sleep restlessly.
…
City Lord's Mansion, in a room.
As Sean listened to the rumbling thunder, his remaining hand clenched into a fist. His pale face became even more unsightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn you, Alex!!!"
It could be predicted that the Black Eagle that he had painstakingly cultivated for many years would have been completely destroyed tonight.
This was one of his biggest trump cards in the fight for the throne. Alex had destroyed all of them, which was tantamount to cutting off one of his arms. How could he not hate him!
…
"Let's go. It's time for us to head back." Meg patted Ah Zi's back as he glanced at the last charred corpse that was gradually dying out.
Ah Zi flapped its wings and flew into the clouds to enter the city. It placed Mag in the no man's land in Aden Square, and rubbed its head in front of Mag to act coquettishly. It only flew back to the textile factory happily after Mag promised that he would bring it delicious food the next day.
Meg returned to the restaurant.
Irina was already in the restaurant. She turned to Meg when she heard the sound, and said, "I have sent the children to the textile factory. Someone will take care of them."
Meg took off his mask, and looked at Irina as he said, "I didn't kill Sean. I only cut off one of his arms. I killed all the men in black."
"Mm-hm. That's equivalent to cutting off both of his arms. That's some interest." Irina nodded with a smile, and said, "That's good. I was worried that you would kill him too quickly, and I wouldn't even have a chance to do anything. Next time, let's go straight to Rodu and settle all the scores with the father and son."
"Alright." Meg also nodded with a smile.
"Rest early."
…
In the city lord's castle, Michael's study was still brightly lit.
He had just received a few urgent reports on his desk.
One of them was a report on the rumbling thunder outside Chaos City tonight. The Gray Temple's inspectors found hundreds of charred corpses that were suspected to have been struck by lightning outside the city. Due to the severe burns, they couldn't identify them.
Another report was about the brutal murders that happened in the city tonight. Many couples were found dead in their homes, and they all had a common characteristic: they were human and elf couples, and they all had a three or four year old half-elf daughter. At the scene of the murder, the half-elf daughter was nowhere to be found.
Combined with the fact that Alex suddenly appeared at the city lord's castle in a rage and almost killed Sean, Michael had a rough idea.
"Bastard!"
Michael smashed the desk with a palm. He was so angry that his body was shaking. He picked up the longsword hanging on the wall, and was about to leave.
"City Lord, what are you going to do?" Dicus asked.
"To kill that brat Sean!" Michael said in a low voice.
"Please calm down first. What's going on now? You were just persuading Alex to be magnanimous. "Dicus quickly stopped him, afraid that Michael would do something stupid in a moment of impulse.
"If I knew Sean had sent people to kill the citizens of Chaos City, I would have stabbed him with my sword, not to mention persuading him!" Michael said angrily.
"You're saying that the murders tonight were ordered by Sean?" Dicus was shocked when he heard that. He quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter, and also couldn't hide his anger. However, he still persuaded, "My lord, Lord Alex has already cut off Sean's arm, and made those hundreds of murderers pay with their lives for those innocent citizens who died. If you kill Sean now, the Roth Empire will definitely send their troops down south. It's the eve of the peace conference, so please think about the big picture."
Michael looked at Dicus, and was silent for a while. He threw his longsword on the ground, and gravely said, "Get the Gray Temple to investigate this matter. We must prove with absolute evidence that this was ordered by Sean. He killed the citizens of Chaos City wantonly, so he can't be allowed to leave Chaos City easily. It won't make any difference even if he's the prince of the Roth Empire!"
"Yes!" Dicus said seriously, and turned to leave quickly.
Michael looked in the direction of the guest area with a dark expression, and coldly said, "You brat Sean. Andre won't teach you how to behave, so let me, Michael, teach you."
