It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

During the Autumn Festival of the Fajos Empire, the imperial capital was attacked. A total of thirteen explosions occurred, mainly in the downtown area, and even the palace exploded.

Although wizards and knights, including Wakely, rushed out to rescue, the casualties were still heavy, with more than 500 people dead and 2 injured.

The attackers were initially identified as the Ashes Order, and the Crimson Blood Tribe was also involved. The best proof of this was that Wild Flame Ferguson, captured by Weekley.

The only pity is that the other party is currently in a state of living dead and cannot be interrogated for the time being.

However, this did not prevent the people of the Imperial Capital from denounced the Red Blood Clan, and this incident caused a great uproar in the city.

Not only the wizarding world, but also the merchants are eyeing the Red Blood Tribe. This attack has caused considerable losses to the Chamber of Commerce, and they want to give an explanation to the empire.

...

the next day.

In the palace, the ministers and Yekarina were discussing this matter.

"How do you feel?"

Yekarina looked at the minister below and raised her eyebrows.

She was not in a very good mood when something like this happened not long after she ascended the throne.

"...Your Majesty, we should launch a purge immediately. Public opinion is now very unfavorable to us."

said a radical minister.

"Oh? Do you have a way to identify the Crimson Blood Tribe?"

"According to the latest research, there is a big difference between the Red Blood Tribe and humans in terms of heart. They are not called demons for no reason."

"..."

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Yekarina looked at him like an idiot.

"Is this the way you said?"

"this..."

The minister seemed to realize the flaws in this method and hurriedly added.

"The hidden Red Blood Tribe can't be found, but there are their villages in the Havita Desert, which is under the jurisdiction of the empire. As long as we send troops..."

"All right."

Yekarina raised her hand to interrupt him, and then turned her gaze to Vickrey.

"What do you think? Vickery."

"...I think what he said makes sense."

"...But there is no need to clear them out. It is enough to gather the Redbloods in the Havita Desert area for custody and confiscate their property to show the empire's attitude."

The situation this time was too serious and had seriously touched Yekarina's bottom line.

Although Vickery wants to delay as much time as possible, it is probably impossible at the moment.

Now I can only settle for the next best thing and spend money to buy peace.

Ekarina smiled.

"Even so, will you help them..."

Vickery shook his head.

"This is not favoritism, it's the smartest move."

If the Empire really pushes the Red Bloods to the extreme as the Ash Order wishes, then the situation will be out of control.

If the old god really takes the opportunity to resurrect, not only him, but the entire world will cease to exist.

Ekarina sighed.

"Forget it, where do you plan to send the Scarlet Bloods?"

"The territory of Pod is very large, and the land in the 'Moria' area is just free. It is relatively close to the Haveta Desert, so it is the most suitable place."

"Moria? That barren wasteland?"

Yekarina's eyes widened.

According to legend, Harvey Tower is not only a desert but also a rocky land, and there are sandstorms from time to time, making it completely uninhabitable.

"Vickle, are you sure you want to send them there?"

"of course."

Vickery nodded.

Ekarina stroked her chin and asked doubtfully.

"But even so, it's not that simple to open up wasteland in Moria. Do you have enough funds?"

"I believe His Majesty will provide sponsorship."

"Oh?"

Ekarina was sitting up and looking at him with interest.

"You are the first one to bargain with me..."

Vickery looked her straight in the eyes and didn't flinch.

After a brief stalemate, Yekarina narrowed her eyes and then said.

"

I promise you that I will capture Kuangyan Ferguson alive with you in mind. "

"I will allocate the cost of building the camp to you from the treasury, and I will provide additional rewards based on the number of Red Bloods you receive."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will not let you down."

"Also give me some time, and I will find out all the people involved in this attack one by one."

"It's best if you can. Okay, let's go down. I'm tired."

Yekarina waved her hands and leaned lazily on the throne.

"...Yes."

Seeing this, Vickery and the others had no choice but to retreat.

...

As soon as he left the palace, Vickery contacted the Walter brothers and sisters and asked them to help him find a woman named 'Didal'.

Among the Redbloods, there are many lunatics like Ferguson.

If they are not dealt with cleanly, big things will happen in the future.

The method of this attack reminded Weekly of an NPC in the game's side mission who was good at causing outbreaks.

Didal is a very arrogant Redblood, but she does have such capital.

That innate talent for stealth, and the magic of artifacts specifically used to create explosions...

This caused her to create one horrifying incident after another after entering the assassin industry.

Although she is not famous yet, Vickery knows it.

In the near future, the Kingdom of Kangong is deeply involved in the struggle for royal power. In order to quickly get rid of his eldest brother, the second prince secretly entrusted the Order of Ashes.

Even if they were silenced afterwards, it was justifiable to wipe out the Ashes Cult.

The church then sent Didal to carry out this task.

She sneaked into the palace with her innate stealth skills, and then used the magic of artifacts that can turn everything into bombs to blow up the entire palace.

Both the king and the eldest prince died.

She completed the task perfectly, but only with her client.

From then on, Didal became completely famous.

Her wanted posters were plastered all over the streets, and the crazy girl walked into a deeper darkness and was hunted by all walks of life.

...

Vickrey looked at the death curse dagger in his hand, which seemed to be a warning from the world to him.

I have underestimated the people in this world.

This time it was an attack on civilians, but what about next time?

It's time to deal with Didal before she makes a big mistake...

Chapter 157 Qualified Lord

As darkness falls, the temperature in the Havita Desert drops to minus ten degrees Celsius.

Luofu Xi, wearing a cloak, was secretly heading towards the Redblood tribe against the icy sandstorm.

Originally, the Red Blood Tribe lived in a fertile land, but after years of struggle, they were driven to this barren desert.

"Huh~"

After passing through the whistling sand and dust, Lovexi finally arrived at the slightly deserted camp.

Hatred is like a whirlpool, and once you get involved in it, it's hard to extricate yourself.

The number of remaining tribesmen is only one-tenth of the original number, less than 5000.

The poor desert cannot support many people, so many Redbloods will choose to leave here and integrate into humans.

"Chief, the empire is about to take action..."

In the tent, Luovsi saluted respectfully to an old man wearing an elder's attire. The totem tattooed on his face symbolized power.

"Don't call me that when we get along in private." The old man said casually.

"Yes, father."

Luo Fuxi nodded and sat on a stone pillar nearby.

"There is news that Weekly is building a camp in Moria, and this attack is blamed on our Red Blood clan."

Perhaps because they were dissatisfied with the negative attitude of the Red Blood Tribe, which was now being slaughtered by others, a small number of people in the Tribe joined the Ashes Order and eventually committed such a disaster.

"...the clan will be taken there soon."

Patriarch Luo Zan nodded, helplessness written on his dry yellow face.

He was grateful that the other party could speak for the Redbloods at the Wizards' Council, but their actions now undoubtedly slapped Vickery hard.

Even if he suffered revenge from the Pod family, he would not complain.

"Now that the trend is one-sided, all our words will become excuses."

Luofu Xi gritted her teeth, feeling a little angry at the tribesmen who were provoking trouble.

The layout I had built over the years was actually destroyed by them, and the hope for peace was even further away.

"...Lovsi, don't be discouraged, I am old...but you are still young."

Luo Zan shook his head, he could see his daughter's impatience.

"As long as you persist, those tribesmen who left will definitely change their minds. You still have the same blood in your body, so don't blame them too much."

Looking at her father's tired body, Lovexi seemed to realize something.

"...Yes."

She was silent for a long time before nodding.

Luo Zan smiled happily, and then looked at the scenery outside the tent.

The sand mixed with magic power was gradually getting bigger, and he vaguely seemed to see some old friends.

The storm that swept through the night seemed to convey their wishes calling for themselves.

He had made a vow in the past.

He said that he would personally lead his people out of this cage-like desert.

But now it seems that he may break the promise...

In the sky full of yellow sand, Luo Zan closed his eyes forever.
