Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Summer is a rainy season.

This is true for the Principality of Idar, which is located in the temperate zone, and it is even more true for the southeastern region of the Kingdom of Basel.

The southeastern part of the Kingdom of Basel is mostly rugged hills and mountains, and dense mountain forests cover most of the land south of Basel.

Since the beginning of June, the continuous rain has been going on for a long time. Although the rain is not heavy, it has been dripping continuously without stopping at all.

"Zhiqua——"

The wheels of the carriage ran over the small puddles, and the splashes carried a lot of sand.

According to a rough calculation, it has been nearly a month since Harley Santa Cruz left Fort Harriet in the north of the Kingdom of Basel.

For nearly a month, the fatigue of the journey and inner anxiety have always made it difficult for Harley Santa Cruz to find a moment of peace.

No matter what era it is, Erwuzi has no human rights.

Although Harley Santa Cruz defected to the Idar Chamber of Commerce in order to survive, and there was no way out, he still could not gain the trust of the Idar Chamber of Commerce in a short period of time.

Harley Santa Cruz needs to pay a certificate to the Idars as soon as possible that can prove his ability and loyalty, and Julian Heaton also hopes to examine the abilities and character of this Basel native to see if he is worth training. .

so……

Under the influence of all these factors, the task of going to the southern part of the kingdom and managing the palm plantations on that land for the Idar Chamber of Commerce naturally fell on Harley Santa Cruz.

In fact, when Harley Santa Cruz just heard about this errand that fell on his shoulders, he was completely confused.

Because this job is actually...

how to say?

It’s quite a bit difficult to describe in words…

The noble gentlemen cannot make mistakes, and the Idar Chamber of Commerce is too far away.

so……

The incompetent and furious southern aristocrats naturally placed all the blame for the total collapse of the wine market on Ernie Mfela and Harley Santa Cruz.

Now, Ernie Mfira has been executed by the angry nobles, but Harley Santa Cruz has defected to the Idar Chamber of Commerce and is still alive in the world.

Therefore, Harley naturally became a thorn in the flesh of the southern nobles.

For him, this trip to the south was almost like stepping on the edge of hell.

If he was a little careless, he still didn't know how he died.

But...he can't refuse yet!

Julian Heaton has made a promise that as long as he can successfully complete this task, he will be accepted by the Principality of Idar, become a citizen of Idar, and stay away from this place of right and wrong.

only……

Although it sounds like just managing a palm and rubber plantation and letting the local Basel serfs work diligently, but... how can the task in front of me be so simple!

The situation in the south of Basel is quite similar to that in the west of the Norman Empire. The noble families are intertwined. Under the management of generations of noble gentlemen, although the lives of the common people cannot be said to be prosperous, they can at least be prosperous. It can be said to be miserable.

The local nobles hold the main power in the south of Basel. The effectiveness of the royal decree basically depends on the degree of goodwill between the current king and the southern nobles, as well as the enthusiasm of the southern nobles for money.

Therefore, when the Idar Chamber of Commerce that offended the southern nobles quietly opened a banana plantation on this land, the southern nobles finally had a target for revenge.

What do you mean...

Driving the refugees to do things like smashing, smashing, and robbing can only be said to be the most basic operation, and methods such as threats and intimidation are also endless.

Even though Harley thought about it all the way, he still couldn't come up with an effective solution.

but,

Just now,

Harley Santa Cruz suddenly realized a possibility, that is... did the Idar people send him here because they wanted to use their lives to calm the anger of the southern nobles?

The road ahead became increasingly muddy, and the rain in the sky became heavier and heavier.

Harley Santa Cruz, who was sitting in the carriage, looked pale and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Could it be that... Is he really destined to die? !

As if to confirm Harley Santa Cruz’s guess,

Just the next moment...

Whoosh!

The sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air came from outside the carriage. A sharp arrow pierced the carriage carriage in an instant and was nailed to the inner wall of the rear side of the carriage.

The gleaming arrowhead was only a few centimeters away from Harley Santa Cruz himself.

"coming……"

Harley Santa Cruz turned pale with fright and could not help but tremble all over.

"There's an assassin! Protect the frame!"

The moment the arrow pierced the carriage, the convoy guards instantly entered a defensive state.

These burly men who worked for the Idar Chamber of Commerce pulled Harley Santa Cruz out of the carriage and lay down on the ground. At the same time, they pulled out the shields placed on the carriage as quickly as possible. A tight shield wall was formed.

In fact, Julian Heaton had long expected that Harley Santa Cruz would be assassinated.

Because before the trip, the agents of the Idar CIA conducted a detailed analysis of the character and behavior of the southern nobles and gave several routes.

The route the convoy was taking now was almost certain to be assassinated.

When they saw the frightened Harley stepping out of the carriage, the assassins hidden in the mountains and forests jumped up one after another and rushed toward the Idar convoy with knives.

There was only one order they received, and that was to kill Harley Santa Cruz and all the survivors in the Idar team, so that the Idar people would understand one thing - here, UU Reading www.uukａnshu.net is The territory of the southern aristocracy of Basel!

only,

Looking at the killers who were waving their swords and roaring towards the convoy, the guards of this convoy not only did not panic at all, but instead showed a hint of sneer.

For this group of Idar agents who possess the "Persuader I" submachine guns, it is easy to keep the group of killers in front of them here!

That's right, the guards around Harley are all from the Idar CIA!

The Idar people have never had the habit of letting their own people die. Although Harley has just joined the Idar Chamber of Commerce, he can already be counted as a member of the Idar Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, Julian Heaton never had the idea of ​​using Harley Santa Cruz's life in exchange for the smooth operation of the plantation.

Because this is not necessary at all!

They are the Idar people, and standing behind them is the most powerful force in the eastern part of the empire, the Principality of Idar!
