Søren rushed back to the princess residence as fast as he could and asked Princess Jung Yeon to go to the prison cell to force Solf to talk.
Eunuch Gao Yin personally led a few thousand imperial guards to surround the Yinyuan Association.
All the files and account books of King City's Gold Office had been burned, so Fang Qingyi's Yinyuan Association would definitely have some.
Meanwhile, Søren headed to the King City's Gold Office outside Fengdu under the protection of Hei Ningqi and the Shadow Pavilion!
King City's Gold Office was the largest gold office in the Raging Wave Kingdom, equivalent to the national bank. There were 11 branches in the Raging Wave Kingdom, and Fengdu was the main branch.
The main branch of Fengdu was originally in King City, but due to rapid expansion, the treasury and office space were far from enough.
Six years ago, a new King City's Gold Office was built 50 miles away from Fengdu.
Of course, the old headquarters in King City was still used, but only for some trivial business. The administrative center, large treasury, and information storage were all in the new headquarters in the suburbs.
At that time, Princess Zhi Ning was in charge of King City's Gold Office, which referred to the old Gold Office in the city.
The new headquarters in the suburbs had always been in the hands of the Yinyuan Association.
The Yinyuan Association had ulterior motives for moving the Gold Office to the suburbs of Fengdu.
After a few years of operation, the Yinyuan Association had already built the entire Gold Office into an independent kingdom.
…
An hour later, Søren arrived at King City's Gold Office in the suburbs of Fengdu.
This was a large castle complex built against a mountain, covering an area of more than 300 acres. There was a suspension bridge and a moat.
This wasn't the Gold Office's headquarters at all, but a military fortress.
"The castle in the middle of the courtyard is burning, and it's still smoking. All the files and account books of the entire Gold Office are inside," said Li Ruofei, the commander of the imperial guards.
Søren frowned, and a dangerous glint flashed through his eyes.
Li Ruofei's urgent report just now made Søren feel that the entire King City's Gold Office was on fire. He didn't expect that only a castle in the middle of the courtyard was burning. There was something fishy about this.
The entire King City's Gold Office's castle complex was still intact.
Moreover, thousands of King City's private soldiers were guarding every corner of the castle. There were also giant crossbows and catapults everywhere.
The castle gates were closed, and the suspension bridge was pulled up.
The entire King City of Gold had turned into a tightly guarded military fortress, armed to the teeth.
"I asked you to completely take over King City's Gold Ship. Why didn't you lead the army to attack it? Li Ruofei said, "I didn't expect that Gold Office's King City's Gold Office to be so strong and dare to fight with us.
Li Ruofei said, "I didn't expect that the capital's Gold Cruise Ship actually had such powerful martial strength, and actually dared to confront us with martial strength! As, it Gold, I told I as I could could I I as I could I as possible. as I could.
"Me Sren as I as I could I as possible. as I Wang Duke City 'I as I as possible.
As could. a, a Long as as as as he could as he as he as he as he he Gold as as as could. a.
At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared on top of the city wall. He bowed to Sren and said, "King City's Gold Office's manager, Fang Zeming, greets Your Excellency."
Fang Zeming? Another person from the Hidden Island! He's here to be the manager of the Raging Wave Kingdom Bank?
Sren asked, "Do you know this Fang Zeming?"
Hei Ningqi shook his head and said, "I don't. I remember the manager of King City's Gold Office is surnamed Li."
Then, Hei Ningqi asked, "Did the manager of King City's Gold Office change? Where's Manager Li? "
Fang Zeming said, "My Yin Yuan Association is the biggest shareholder of King City's Gold Office. In addition to the shares that have been mortgaged to the Yin Yuan Association over the years, my association now owns more than half of King City's Gold Office. That's why the higher-ups sent me to take over."
Hei Ningqi said, "I don't care who you are. Open the city gates immediately. The Imperial Guards want to take over King City's Gold Office."
Fang Zeming said, "I'm sorry. Now that King City's Gold Office has become the Yin Yuan Association's asset, the Raging Wave Kingdom army has no right to enter."
Søren said, "Sir, you've already burned all the accounts and files of King City's Gold Office?"
Fang Zeming said, "Yes. According to the Yin Yuan Association's rules, if there's an emergency, immediately burn all the accounts and files. We absolutely cannot let important data be leaked. We have to protect the privacy of our customers."
Søren said, "Then do you still have any?"
Fang Zeming said, "Of course we do. All the important information of the Yin Yuan Association's assets will be backed up on the Hidden Island."
When he said this, Fang Zeming had a sneer on his face. It was as if he was saying, 'If you're so capable, go to the Hidden Island.'
'Are you qualified to go to the Hidden Island?' 'Do you know where the Hidden Island is?'
Søren hated this kind of gaze. It was like a colonizer looking at a native.
Fang Zeming said, "Your Excellency Søren, you can't get anything from me anymore. Go back!"
"Go back?" Søren said, "What will I do after I go back?"
Fang Zeming said, "Go back and release Lord Sof and Marquis Fu 'e. Then we can talk about anything. Of course, you must pay the price for your actions today. "
"Price?" Søren laughed coldly. "What price? Do you want to negotiate with me? "
Fang Zeming said, "Of course not. The person negotiating with you is my young master. However, he has already said that he has been waiting for you in the Yin Yuan Association to negotiate with him. However, before the negotiation, please bring three things with you. "
"What things?" Søren asked.
"Marquis Fu 'e, Lord Sof, and the head of Hei Ningqi beside you." Fang Zeming said, "This can be considered as your sincerity in negotiating."
Søren's gaze turned cold. He waved his hand and said, "Attack the city!"
Li Ruofei stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, we didn't bring any siege equipment. We don't even have siege ladders. We can't even cross the moat in front of us."
As soon as these words came out, Hei Ningqi's wrist trembled violently, but he forced himself to endure it.
Søren waved his hand toward the sky. Immediately, a griffin warrior descended from the sky.
"Order 15 griffins to continuously attack King's Golden Castle. Use primitive cluster bombs and giant gunpowder bags!" Søren ordered.
"Yes!" The griffin warrior shouted, then flapped his wings and flew back to King's City.
Li Ruofei said in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency, the files and account books inside might not have been burned. Furthermore, there are a lot of gold notes inside. If we blow them up indiscriminately, they will be destroyed. Please think twice!"
There was something wrong with this Li Ruofei!
Hei Ningqi was incomparably angry and disappointed. This Li Ruofei was his sworn brother. He was the person he trusted the most.
This person was the son of a servant of the Hei Shi family. Since young, his martial arts talent was astonishing. When Hei Ningqi's father discovered his talent, he immediately released him from his slave status and sent the best teacher to teach him martial arts. When he was 13 years old, he was sent to King's City Academy with Hei Ningqi.
From then on, Li Ruofei followed Hei Ningqi. He was regarded as an adopted son by the Hei Shi family. Hei Ningqi and Li Ruofei were brothers.
Ten years ago, with the support of the Hei Shi family, Li Ruofei became the deputy commander of King's City Guards.
But after the king gradually lost power, the City Guards were infiltrated by Zhi Li's group. Therefore, Hei Ningqi immediately asked the king to transfer Li Ruofei out of the City Guards. Li Ruofei entered the Imperial Guards and became his assistant.
The Imperial Guards were one level higher than the City Guards. Therefore, Li Ruofei was also promoted.
In Hei Ningqi's view, this sworn brother of his was the most trustworthy person in the world. He would never betray him no matter what.
But now, it seemed that Li Ruofei was no longer a clean person.
He looked at Søren again, asking if he should take down Li Ruofei immediately.
Søren did not respond. Li Ruofei was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. Many of these 10,000 Imperial Guards were his direct subordinates.
If he took down Li Ruofei here, it would be a great blow to the morale of the army.
Under Hei Ningqi's signal, hundreds of Hei Shi family warriors and Shadow Pavilion warriors surrounded Søren, protecting him tightly.
Hei Ningqi immediately took over the command of the 10,000 Imperial Guards. He ordered Li Ruofei to follow him at all times, not giving him any chance to escape!
…
Just like that, Søren led the army to continue surrounding King's Gold Cruise. The two armies were separated by a few hundred meters.
"Go back, go back …" The manager of King's Gold Cruise, Fang Zeming, waved his hand and said, "Duke Søren, it's useless for you to lead the army here. It will only add to the troubles and awkwardness. King's Gold Cruise is now the property of the Hidden Element Association. Once you invade it with force, there's no turning back. You can only fight to the death. "
Søren ignored him.
Fang Zeming continued smiling and said, "Duke Søren, it's not too late to turn back now! Negotiation is your only way out. Without our support, your Raging Wave Kingdom will not be able to survive. As long as we light the fire, the entire Raging Wave Kingdom will explode like a huge volcano. By then, you, the Regent, will naturally be reduced to ashes. "
Søren continued to ignore him.
Fang Zeming continued, "His Highness Zhi Li was also furious before. He resisted, but he finally compromised. There's a saying in this world that politics is like rape. Since you can't resist, just enjoy it silently. "
At this moment, more than ten black dots appeared in the sky!
More than ten griffins flew above King's Gold Cruise and began circling, aiming!
Fang Zeming's expression changed drastically. He said, "Duke Søren, what are you trying to do? This is the property of the Hidden Element Association. This is the territory of the Hidden Island. "
The griffins were still circling.
Fang Zeming said sternly, "Duke Søren, you better think this through. Once you attack the Hidden Element Association's property, there's no room for redemption. The volcano that is the Raging Wave Kingdom will be completely ignited and erupt. You and I will be in a deadlock. We won't rest until one of us is dead. "
Søren waved his hand violently.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
More than ten giant gunpowder bags and primitive cluster bombs landed.
Meanwhile, the giant crossbows in King's Gold Cruise fired wildly into the sky.
However, the griffins were flying seven to eight hundred meters in the sky. How could they hit them?
The key was that King's Gold Cruise was in a hurry and did not have time to deal with Søren's griffins.
The entire King's Gold Cruise was hundreds of meters in size. They could hit them even if they closed their eyes and looked down.
In an instant …
More than ten giant gunpowder bags and primitive cluster bombs landed.
Boom, boom, boom, boom …
There were earth-shattering explosions.
The entire King's Gold Cruise was completely drowned in flames and smoke.
The metal rain produced by the primitive cluster bombs slaughtered everyone in King's Gold Cruise's castle.
Boom, boom, boom …
Just like that, fifteen griffins flew back and forth between Fengdu and King's Gold Cruise's castle, bombing non-stop!
They harvested the lives of the Hidden Element Association warriors inside.
…
Four hours later!
King's Gold Cruise's castle was breached. Thousands of imperial guards rushed into the castle and slaughtered the remaining Hidden Element Association warriors.
More than an hour later, the remaining armed forces in King City's Gold were completely wiped out.
Dozens of shopkeepers, hundreds of staff, including Head Shopkeeper Fang Zeming, were all captured!
Under Heining Qi's protection, Søren entered the ruined King's Gold Cruise's headquarters castle.
Head Shopkeeper Fang Zeming was kneeling at the front. His face was dark and his eyes were filled with fear.
Seeing Søren's gaze, Head Shopkeeper Fang Zeming said in a trembling voice, "Søren, what are you trying to do? We're from the Hidden Island. I'm a direct descendant of the Hidden Island's master. I used to be the young master's teacher. What are you trying to do? "
"Kill!" Søren waved his hand!
Instantly, the imperial guards escorted the first row of Hidden Element Association captives. They knelt on top of the city wall and poked their heads out of the wall.
His hand rose and the saber fell.
Blood splattered everywhere. More than ten heads fell into the moat.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
With a flash of the saber, rows of Hidden Element Association captives were beheaded.
In just a short while, all the staff members of King's Gold Cruise of the Hidden Element Association were killed.
Søren looked at Head Shopkeeper Fang Zeming and said calmly, "I don't care if you burn the account books and documents, as long as the money is there. Take me to the treasury. I want to take over all the gold coins in King's Gold Cruise. "
