That night, all the combat personnel left the combat zone and returned to the City of Silver. Then, they used the City of Silver's teleportation array to return to Alinx and Ellington.
Tang En and company left quickly, but this made the Solant Kingdom's soldiers who had been guarding outside suffer. This was especially so for Klein, who was at the rear. This ambitious guy didn't sleep well the entire night. His mind kept repeating the words "attack" and "retreat".
It wasn't until the next morning that Jean suddenly came back to his senses and removed the stone wall.
The sudden disappearance of the stone wall caused a huge commotion. Almost all the Solant Kingdom's soldiers on the perimeter woke up from their sleep. As for the soldiers on night watch, they were flabbergasted as they looked at the situation in the distance. They were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
"My, my, my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, right …?"
"Oh my God! Where's Lothamar!? "
"Heavens! Why did Lothamar disappear!? "
"I was wondering why there was such a huge commotion last night. They actually razed Lothamar Castle to the ground!?"
"More importantly — where are they!? Why did everyone disappear!? "
"Don't tell me they have all retreated and returned to the City of Silver!?"
"Signalman! Quick! Immediately send the news to His Majesty! "
The Solant Kingdom's soldiers were in a mess. They didn't know what to do. Even if Klein wanted them to die, no one would come to kill them.
After receiving the news, the one who was the most confused was probably Klein.
He didn't sleep well the entire night because of the thoughts in his mind. When he woke up in the morning, he realized that not only had Lothamar been razed to the ground, but even he had disappeared!
Taking the opportunity to ambush? There wasn't a single person, how was he going to fight!?
Klein first heaved a sigh of relief, but then he flew into a rage, "Damn it! They must be deliberately going against This King! Ever since Tang En appeared, nothing has gone smoothly! "
Well, he blamed this incident on Tang En again, and even the fear he had for the City of Silver and the Megalosaurus Army last night had disappeared.
Weren't people like this? When nothing happened, they didn't care about anything, but once something really happened, they would start to panic. Klein was the most typical example.
Klein, whose plan had failed, had no choice but to issue the order to retreat. Solant's army, which had been full of complaints, felt relieved and immediately began to organize the retreat.
To them, not having to fight against the City of Silver and the Megalosaurus Army was the best outcome.
Although the king's orders had to be carried out, everyone had a brain. Who would be so bored as to send themselves to their deaths?
What's more, the enemy was the kind that couldn't be defeated.
However …
"I didn't think that they would actually raze Lothamar to the ground!"
On the retreating carriage, Klein's expression was terrible. Although he knew that the enemy was strong, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't feel much of an impact. The two sides weren't officially enemies, so he didn't feel any fear.
At this moment, he only felt that the City of Silver was slapping him in the face!
Lothamar was an inherent territory of the Solant Kingdom. Now, they came here and razed the city to the ground without saying anything. If this wasn't a slap to his face, what was?
The king, who was completely blinded by his ambition, had forgotten that it was his inaction that led to the tragedy of Lothamar. It was the reason why the City of Silver had to make such a big move, and it was the reason why the Megalosaurus Army appeared here.
This was a mistake made by Rodrigues, and it was also a mistake made by Klein.
And now, what made Klein feel even more uncomfortable was that after the City of Silver came here, they didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. They just floated in the sky without any intention of moving.
What was Jean trying to do?
Klein wasn't Oscar of the Ronitant Kingdom, who could even think of ways to make money from the City of Silver. With the City of Silver hanging in the sky, Klein only felt like a sharp sword hanging over his head, which could bring about a huge threat at any time.
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Klein was so worried about the City of Silver because of his previous thoughts. Otherwise, he would probably only be happy that the country had a strong backing.
Just like Oscar, who had just received the news — knowing that the City of Silver had left the Ronitant Kingdom, this guy was dumbfounded.
Why?
Because there was still a lot of supplies that were supposed to be supplied to the City of Silver that hadn't been sent over!
Now, it was all in his hands!
With such a big client running away, he didn't even have a place to cry!
After Tang En returned, he immediately found the head of the newspaper, Karl, and gave him some instructions. The branches of the Tang Daily immediately started operating at full capacity …
Then, Tang En found Selna and wanted to use her influence in the Thieves Guild to further spread the news of Lothamar in the Solant Kingdom.
Previously, Daxas and the others could be used as an entry point to spread the news through them and let the Thieves Guild fan the flames in the dark, creating momentum for Tang En's subsequent actions.
As for whether the news would be leaked from the Thieves Guild, Tang En didn't believe it.
First of all, those guys were all greedy for money. As for Tang En, the thing he did not lack the least was money. To put it bluntly, once the banknote printing machine was turned on, the banknotes would rush out. (Of course, he would not do that.) It was basically equivalent to gaining something without risking anything.
As long as the problem could be solved with money, it wasn't a problem.
Secondly, and most importantly, Selna Kohler was like the founder of the Thieves Guild. Once she appeared, those guys in the Thieves Guild wouldn't dare to say anything. They would definitely keep their word. Who would dare to play tricks in front of the founder of the Thieves Guild?
Therefore, Tang En was very relieved.
In a tavern in Alcârrea, a guy with a greasy face patted the shoulder of the person beside him and said with a smile, "Hey! Laika, I don't know if you're interested in hearing a piece of news? Buy me a drink and I'll tell you. "
The merchant called Laika had a suspicious look on his face, "Lasse? What good news can you have? You're trying to trick me into drinking, right? "
The one who spoke was Lasse, who was saved by Tang En, "Definitely not! I guarantee that this news is very important to you! Didn't you always go to Lothamar's side? Hmm? "
Laika's eyes lit up. She took out a few copper coins and slapped them on the table, "Give him a cup of ale! I want the cheapest one! "
Bartender was about to put away the copper coins when Lasse said, "No, I want the best ale, and it can't be mixed with water."
Bartender looked at the copper coins and said indifferently, "This money is only enough to drink the cheapest one."
Lasse looked at Laika with a smile. Laika complained as she took out a few more copper coins and threw them over, "Damn it! Lasse, if you don't have any good news, I'll definitely make you regret it! "
"Don't worry, this news is definitely explosive."
"Say it!"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you after the ale is here."
Lasse didn't care how Laika urged him, but he didn't say anything. He waited until Bartender came over with the ale. After drinking a mouthful, he complained, "Damn it! The ale you sold me before was mixed with water! "
Bartender completely ignored him.
Laika urged, "Say it, say it!"
Lasse said mysteriously, "Did you hear? Lothamar Castle disappeared! "
"What!?"
As expected, Leica was shocked. "How is this possible?! I was planning to go take a look at it later! If the blockade was lifted, I was planning to go in and ask for payment! "
"The blockade has been lifted, but didn't you know? Lothamar was razed to the ground by the City of Silver! "
"Why!? How dare the City of Silver do this!? "
"You still don't know the truth about the blockade, right?"
Although Jean asked Klein to publicize the news about Lothamar, Klein didn't do so. Therefore, the truth about Lothamar's blockade was still a mystery.
"You know?"
"What do you think?"
Lasse whispered, "Don't forget, I used to hang out in Lothamar. I know what happened there the best."
"Don't keep me in suspense! People will say that you're wasting your time! "
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest with you. The reason Lothamar was sealed is because the Chaos religion has completely corrupted it!"
Laika exclaimed, "Bastard —"
Lasse covered his mouth, "Are you crazy!?"
"Hiss —"
Laika took a deep breath and was shocked, "The Chaos religion corrupted Lothamar Castle!? How is that possible!? "
"But it's the truth!"
Lasse whispered, "It's precisely because the Chaos religion has caused a huge ruckus this time that the entire Lothamar is hopeless. Therefore, Klein ordered Lothamar to be sealed to prevent others from continuing to enter Lothamar."
"However, the corruption can't be done overnight. It's a long process. How could His Majesty Klein not notice it!?"
"This is His Majesty Klein's dereliction of duty. He might not know, or he might know, but don't you think that it's pardonable that he doesn't know? If he knows and does nothing, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?"
Laika thought in her heart, and her expression became even uglier.
Just as Lasse said, if Klein knew about this situation and did nothing, allowing the Chaos religion to continue spreading, that would be the most terrifying thing.
With such a king, how could the Solant Kingdom have a future!
"It's because the situation is completely out of control. After this information was learned by the City of Silver, Master Jean moved the City of Silver to the sky above Lothamar. The City of Silver's mages, including the Knights Templar, were all mobilized!"
"It's said that because the situation is particularly dangerous this time, even the Dragons were alarmed. The huge commotion in the northeast last night was caused by the Megalosaurus."
"It's said that the Megalosaurus discovered that the corruption in Lothamar was particularly serious, so they directly took action and razed the entire Lothamar to the ground! Now, there's not a single blade of grass growing there. It's completely turned into a wasteland. "
"This, this …"
Lasse finished the ale in one gulp, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "I'm only telling this news to you. Don't tell anyone else!"
With that, Lasse patted his butt and left.
He left easily, but Laika was at a loss, her face turning green and purple.
Not being able to get his money back was secondary. The key was that an important trade route in his hands was in Lothamar. The blockade had already made him gloomy all day long, and now, Lothamar was gone …
The restless Laika stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly rushed out as if her butt was on fire, paid the bill, and rushed out.
Lasse, who was hiding in the dark, smiled when he saw this. He took out his magical phone and dialed Daxas' number, and whispered, "It's done."
