Chapter 1325 247. Yes, Uncle
You can believe the words of the rat elder, but not all of them.

Annan first contacted Captain Ryan to ask him about the situation of the Round Table Brotherhood.

"Will the Round Table Brotherhood intervene? No wonder the situation in the Broken Mine is complicated." Captain Ryan pondered.

"you know?"

"Well, the headquarters of the Brotherhood of the Round Table is in the Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes, and it has a close relationship with the Knights Templar."

It was an organization similar to a mercenary guild.

"What does it have to do with the Shadow Brotherhood?" Annan asked. Their names are similar.

"The members of the Brotherhood of the Round Table are all knights, and the Brotherhood of Shadows is mainly rangers and assassins."

"I see." Annan nodded: "You are a Paladin, you should be able to influence the Oyster Gang."

"Normally that's the case, but we're going to overthrow them."

"You're right……"

Annan gave up his extravagant hope of defeating the enemy without fighting, and told him about the progress on Joan's side.

……

What happened in the open-pit coal mountains and broken mining areas did not have much impact on the people of Golden City.

Life has to go on, the temperature is getting lower and lower, the days are getting colder and colder. Compared with things that are far away from them, things happening right now are more worthy of their concern.

For example, the price of grain has increased by a few copper coins, coal is becoming harder and harder to buy, the boss pays less and less wages, but the tax collectors come more and more frequently...

Those who are blocked are still blocked - but they live as if there is no blockade.

After witnessing with his own eyes the portal being opened in the open space of Coal Hill and truckloads of supplies being transported out, Killian sent a messenger back to the Golden Palace with a letter, delivering the message: if the blockade continued, they would run out of supplies before the people of Annan.

Half a day later, the golden guard brought the overlord's oral order: let him come back.

"We abandon the blockade?" Killian asked.

"The great lord only wants you to go back."

"I see……"

Killian put on his coat, mounted his horse, and went back with his guards and the golden guards.

"Where's Annan Reeves?" he asked on the way.

"The Black Reef Tavern."

"There……"

"The base of his men."

"I should have known!"

Killian remembered that Annan had just arrived and went straight into the tavern, and he was actually deceived by him.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Killian asked again, "What is he doing now?"

"It is said that they are fighting for land in the Broken Mining Area."

Killian was stunned, realizing that he had not anticipated every move Annan made.

"Is the gap between you and me so big..."

His whispers were torn apart by the wind and blown away in the pale wilderness.

A few hours later, Killian walked into the hall with frost and stood in front of the steps leading to the throne.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Lord Raymond, who was as fat as a mountain, raised his eyelids and said in a gloomy tone: "My nephew, your friend did a 'good job'..."

"Sorry, uncle..."

Lord Raymond snorted coldly: "I called you here not to punish you, but to entrust you with an important task."

"I promise I won't let you down!" Killian showed a hint of excitement.

"That would be better." Lord Raymond's sneer echoed in the hall, making people shudder: "I will give you a group of secret guards, take them, and assassinate Annan Reeves!"

Killian looked up suddenly.

"Assassinate Annan...but why?"

Didn't we have to fight Annan for the second time within the rules the day before? Why did we suddenly...

Lord Raymond tapped the armrests of the throne with his swollen fingers, and his voice gradually turned cold: "Chess pieces don't need to think, they just need to do it. Don't make me say it again, Killian."

After persisting for a long time, Killian finally lowered his head.

"Yes, uncle..."

……

The Wolf Gang stronghold - now the Freedom Gang stronghold.

Joan used the mountain village as her base and absorbed a large number of forces that were originally affiliated with the Wolf Gang.

In addition to providing them with food, clothing and weapons, the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation.

"You are no different from the nobles. Why do they step on you, wear the gorgeous clothes you weave, eat the food you grow, and point their fingers at you and say, 'You are just a bunch of untouchables'!"

Compared to Small's patient guidance, which makes people first understand the concept of Free Blade, then realize the evil of the enemy, and finally realize why they are fighting, Joan's approach is much simpler and more brutal.

By arousing the pent-up anger in people's hearts, they resist this unfair world.

The former requires accumulation, but now there is a lack of time for them to develop slowly.

Fortunately, the new method worked well. When the Freedom Gang absorbed a large number of people from the surrounding areas, two uninvited guests came to the gate of the village.

They called themselves the Oyster Gang Messengers.

Harding led them into the hall. Before he could leave, the Oyster Gang messenger said arrogantly, "According to the regulations of the Broken Mining District, no force is allowed to own more than two coal mines. Leader of the Freedom Gang, you need to give up the other occupied territories."

This is a rule established by the Oyster Gang to prevent other forces from taking advantage of their greater strength to seize territory.

Joan felt that she was being targeted: "But what if some blind guy hits me? I can't fight back."

"This is your business. You just need to remember that any force can only own one mining area."

Joan almost let out a bunch of slang and profanity.

Stay calm, Joan. Your words and actions determine the fate of dozens or even hundreds of people. Don't let the people who trust you die in vain...

She took a deep breath and suppressed her unhappy emotions: "Got it, we will give up Hyjal, and the Wolf Gang and Valoran Basin will belong to the free people."

"Also, retract your outstretched claws."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Joan looked stupid, she guessed they had also noticed what Gloria and Jodie were doing.

"Do you think we are fools?" The Oyster Gang messenger sneered, "Don't play tricks. There are countless guys like you stuck outside the Oyster Gang."

Joan lowered her head again: "Okay, I'll spit it out too."

She politely tried to persuade them to stay, but fortunately the Oyster Gang envoy had no intention of staying in this "remote place" for long and left without looking back.

After they left, Jody came over and asked, "Are you really going to do this?"

"How is that possible? We are not here to make a fortune."

Moreover, Annan contacted me again this morning and said that the Knights of the Round Table were behind the Oyster Gang and they might have known their plan.

They wanted to delay time and take the opportunity to prepare for the response. In order to deceive Joan, they even pretended to be arrogant.

Coincidentally, Joan thought so too.

She first asked Elimoyas, with whom she was still on good terms, to help patrol the area and eliminate all the Oyster Gang spies nearby. Then she asked Jody to act secretly and contact his companions in the Broken Mine, asking them to wait for the right opportunity and cooperate in starting a riot when necessary.

Gloria stayed put to protect herself and the Freedom Gang members.

If the tragedy in Valoran Basin happened again, she would really go crazy.
