Chapter 1524: Digging Deeper
The captain's attention was immediately focused on this man.
Because this man is indeed too conspicuous.
If placed elsewhere, it would be a conspicuous bag.
First of all, I am much fatter than others.
The second thing is the hideous tattoo on his body.
However, the most important thing is that many people are respectful to this fat man, even the orc leader is quite respectful to him.
All signs indicate that the person in front of him is not a good person.
The captain's face was serious and he was planning to do something big.
He planned to arrest all of them in one go.
This group of people symbolizes the core of this force.
If we can destroy this so-called leadership.
That would be a devastating blow to the entire orc force.
The captain's intention was good.
But the orc leader was already on guard, so it would be difficult to capture him without any hindrance.
Just as the captain was observing all this, news came from afar.
The Guards soldiers successfully reached the ground and controlled the exit.
More than a dozen Guards soldiers filed out and immediately took complete control of the surroundings.
And sent people to prepare for a sneak attack.
But just as they were about to take action, they discovered something was wrong.
Because the current armed forces are too powerful.
The surrounding security forces are just the appetizer.
The most important thing is that the orc leader has stationed 2000 troops in the surrounding area!
Wow, he has mobilized most of his men here!
It turns out that the orc leader is indeed afraid of death, otherwise he would not do this.
But isn't this too scary?
After analyzing the situation, the captain found that kidnapping people by force would not work.
Because it was difficult for them to deal with the 2000 orc soldiers outside.
After careful consideration, the captain decided to suspend the mission.
But just as the captain was about to leave, the fat man and one of his men walked right above the captain.
The captain, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly stopped and then began to listen quietly to the conversation between the two.
"Boss, it seems the government is planning to abandon us...
Do we still need to give them money in the future?"
"Why not send them money? What if they attack us one day? We in this business have to bet on both sides. Whether it's the orc leader or the government army, they all know we can't be trusted.
But they don't dare to push us completely to the other side.
So it’s best for us to bet on both sides and ignore both sides.
But who could resist placing a bet? This was a chance to rise to prominence.
I, Osto, have struggled for so many years and finally got rid of the old emperor Barumurt. As a result, a young emperor named Bakhmut came to power.
I originally thought that this young emperor was easy to control, but I didn’t expect that he would play a big trick and kill all the orcs!
Now the entire country has fallen into the hands of Da Yan, and most importantly, the Lannuo government now has the support of Lyon and can be said to be becoming more and more unscrupulous. "
Osto said as he straightened his clothes.
The subordinate beside him thought for a moment and then spoke.
"But they can't just abandon us, right? When we didn't have the money to buy arms, we were the ones who paid for it.
Is he planning to attack us now? Doesn't he know that their current success is partly due to us?"
The subordinates wanted to speak up for their group.
But Austro waved his hand.
"If the people don't fight the officials, why do you care so much? Isn't it better to just pay the money honestly?"
"Boss, of course it's not good! We already paid 30% to the government army, and now the orc leader wants another 30%.
We only have 40% left at our disposal, 10% of which we have to use to buy people from the government, and 20% to distribute to our brothers.
We, the management, get less than 10%!
And this 10% has to be shared among the dozen or so managers!"
Seeing his subordinates being so violent.
Austro sighed.
"A new emperor appoints new ministers. Prepare the money! We can't let the orc leader catch us, otherwise all our property will be lost."
After listening to Osto's words, his men left indignantly.
Although he was very dissatisfied, he also knew the priorities of the matter.
So the best way now is to pay according to the new regulations.
The captain below was completely stunned at this moment, and stood there in a daze.
Is Austro actually colluding with the Lanno government?
And it seems that the Lanno government abducted the refugees and handed them over to Osto, who then gave part of the money they earned from wanton slaughter and organ trafficking to the government.
Thereby gaining the tacit approval and protection of the government.
After figuring out the whole story, the captain couldn't calm down.
Because all of this is so explosive.
But in the next second, the captain suddenly realized something, then squatted down, stuck to the wall, and held his breath without moving.
Because the next second, a pair of big eyes appeared outside the iron fence.
The owner of these eyes is Osto.
After seeing that the sewer was empty, Osto then stood up.
"There's nothing there. Am I sick? How could I have such a wrong feeling?"
Austro left muttering to himself.
But the captain who stayed behind was now sweating profusely.
He was not only amazed at Osto's keen senses, but more importantly, he had to find a way to find evidence of collusion between Osto and the Lanno government.
The captain reported the situation without any hesitation.
Whenever something happened that the captain couldn't handle, they had to report it, and soon the military and the cabinet received the news.
After learning that someone within the Lanno government was sponsoring illegal industries, the military leaders were all very angry.
We have helped you orcs so much, not only do you not give us anything in return, but you also bring trouble upon yourself!
The military leaders proposed to withdraw the troops directly from the area controlled by the Lanno government to teach them a lesson.
Some of the more radical ones spoke directly.
"Why not just transfer the Holy Empire's frontier army over there? Now that the frontier army has completed its retraining, we might as well send them out for some actual combat training. This will also help to strengthen the army."
"It makes sense, let's do it!"
Most of the military agreed, and then the news reached Lyon's ears.
(Good night)
