I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 455: Taking the Blame and Overturning the Case

"I've worked diligently at Axe Beach City Hall for over ten years, but once I was exploited by the Zhentarim, it was like falling into a bottomless abyss, with no escape!"

"Although I had no choice, I deeply felt the harm these people were doing to Axe Beach. Earl Pwll has been very kind to me, and I personally couldn't let them continue like this. So, whether it was arresting Miss Winna or searching the so-called Pwll treasure house, I was perfunctory and used all my strength to search for evidence!"

"Look at this!" He hurriedly took out the golden ring in his hand. "This is a very secret recording magic prop. Inside is a recording of Virgil and his private army revealing their plan to me! Lord Gorgon! I feel that no one can be trusted. It is precisely at this time that your Knights of Light take action! I have a chance to break the deadlock!!"

Anyway, whether he was asked or not, Bugo Torres just said it.

The perfunctory approach to capturing Winna and searching the treasure trove?
Rhodes chuckled.

I'm afraid not.

This guy is just hedging his bets and leaving himself a way out.

But it was a pleasant surprise.

Rhodes brought this guy up simply because he was upset that he had just made excuses for Virgil down there.

Unexpectedly, he exploded himself.

Bugo Torres also knows his situation.

This time, telling it out is a life-threatening situation.

But it didn't feel good to be controlled by the Zhentarin. The people in the private army basically didn't treat him as a human being behind his back, and their ambitions were very big, definitely not just a small Axe Beach.

Even if he is a puppet lord, they will not allow an outsider to be in power for too long, because then he will die.

Bugo Torres realized this.

So he did collect evidence that the Zhentarim were disguising themselves as private troops to control Axe Beach.

Although he couldn't see Rhodes' expression at this moment, he could hear his disdainful laughter.

I immediately became anxious.

He quickly activated the recording ring in his hand.

Rhodes took out a good quality [Illusion Sound] magic ring and used it on him.

The content of the recording was immediately amplified and spread to the ears of everyone present.

"."

"Since you are involved, I will tell you something in advance."

"We spread this false information to cover up our attack on the White Dragon Tomb."

"On the one hand, we were trying to fool the demons of Dragon Snake Castle. The original agreement we reached with the demons was that after we seized power in Axe Beach, we would seize the wealth, and the demons would harvest all the lives in Axe Beach."

"."

Recordings of conversations between Virgil and his men came out one after another.

The militia members were also horrified when they heard this.

Especially after hearing the content of the agreement between the Zhentarim and the demons, many people showed disgust and hatred on their faces, and even turned their blades directly against the people of the private army.

Private troops, that is, the Zhentarim personnel, are ultimately a group of rabble.

Before, there was an eighth-level boss suppressing them, and everything went with the flow, so naturally there were no unexpected problems.

Now that they have lost their leader Virgil, it is simply wishful thinking to expect this group of people to work together.

Almost at the same time, a large number of Zhentarim people quickly took off their private army uniforms and fled far away.

The militia leader reacted very quickly and immediately roared to arrest all the members of the private militia.

Damn it, I've been bullied by these bastards for so long. I don't care whether that recording is true or false. Anyway, the other party's eighth-level boss is dead. I'll use this to defeat these guys and then confirm my position!

correct!

And Winna Purwell.
This is a bit troublesome. Although Lord Bugo gave the order, as the leader of the executors, I'm afraid I'll be implicated.
Wait a minute, Miss Winna has been hiding so well that the militia has never found her. The only attempt to capture her was by Old Ed himself.
It just so happened that this time Old Ed and Virgil were working together to fight against the Gorgon of the Knights of Light in the sky.
The team leader clapped his hands excitedly.

"Old Ed was corrupted and betrayed by the Zhentarim. The militia leader, who was clearly a wise leader, repeatedly stated that he would first investigate Miss Winna's case, but Old Ed still insisted on arresting her privately!"

That's all right! I've already decided on the scapegoat! It's you, Old Ed!
As for taking advantage of Esseron's weakening power to launch a military coup? To seize the leadership of Axe Beach?

Think more.

The Pwyll family has long operated in Axeford, embracing a complex network of connections. Located on a trade route and close to Waterdeep, most wealthy merchants there or in Waterdeep have significant financial ties to Earl Pwyll. Upon assuming power, Lord Bugor immediately overhauled these strategies in response to the Zhentarim's plans, a move that had already displeased several prominent merchants.

Now that Wenna’s patricide case has been overturned, these people will be more willing to trust the surname Puwell and thus support Wenna’s return to power.

Moreover.

Not to mention these big businessmen, four of the five deputy commanders of the militia are die-hard fans of Earl Pwell.

Every time I saw him it was like a fan meeting. After learning about the Earl's death and Winna's case, they all fell into dejection.

Now that the verdict has been overturned, these four deputy group leaders will definitely become active again.

Think of this.

The militia leader couldn't help but look at the man in the air again.

"All of this... is because of this man? 'Exposing Lies, Challenging Hypocrisy', the Knights of Light? Is there such an organization on the continent?"

Here.

Rhodes didn't care about the militia leader's thoughts.

After taking away the gold ring for recording, he threw Bugo Torres directly in front of the other party.

He ignored everyone and was about to land next to Virgil's body.
It's more like half of a hip and thigh than a corpse.

This time he learned from his previous lesson and deliberately avoided the location of the magic bag.

At least you can pick up some loot or something.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. He had just announced that he had created his own organization, and he immediately went to pick up corpses. It was a bit uncool.

Just let Terry pick it up.

After thinking about it, he used his single hand to [Gravity Wave] and sucked the Dragon Slaying Sword back into his hand.
It was too heavy and I didn’t come back.

"."

With another sudden push, he sucked up the mud along with the ground.

Then, he unleashed a [Repulse Technique] with three times the force of his palm and feet in mid-air.

Boom! ! !

The stacked expansive and explosive sounds suddenly exploded.

Rhodes rushed into the sky, dragging a white wake, and disappeared as everyone watched.

of course.

Wait until the flight is almost over.

He landed secretly, changed his clothes, removed his camouflage area, and ran back in shame.

I have to say, maintaining a high profile is such a waste of time.

It took almost half an hour to go back and forth.

Terry had been waiting in the grove beside the Delingbil River for a long time, watching with boredom as the militia organized people to rescue the collapsed city walls and destroyed merchant ships.

As soon as she saw Rhodes, she smiled and opened her arms for a hug.

The fragrant breeze blows into my arms, and my soft, glutinous and obedient hands cling to my chest.

Rhodes kissed her smooth forehead which was scented with honey.

"Did you get the magic bag?"

"Of course, who does Master think Tylee is? Succubi are great at stealing people, let alone things."

"What you said, I didn't know I would have thought you were cheating on me."

"Terry has taken on the shape of her master. The scent of her master's essence is imprinted in her mind. Other men will feel nauseous just by approaching her."

She released the hug, tilting her head adorably and raising her hands.

There were two magic bags and the heavy steel spear used by Cambion, with a look of wanting credit:
"Cambion's spell bag and spear fell out when he was eaten. I'll collect them for the master!"
