Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 1359 Ambush

Do not slap a face when hitting someone.

The destruction of Rat Town is not just a heavy slap in Hagan Marsh’s face.

It’s practically taking his life!

Without Rat Town, Seventh Route will lose the fundamental place to settle and establish themselves.

This is also the most serious situation since the nine forces jointly governed Swimming City.

"I’m asking you bastards a question!" Hagan Marsh completely lost his composure, heedless of the officials present and the unusual looks from the commanders of the other eight forces, he viciously said: "If I find out who did this, there will be no end to this!"

Upon hearing this, Xander Cook’s body trembled slightly, yet he pretended to remain calm.

The atmosphere suddenly became exceptionally awkward.

"Hagan Marsh, I know this matter has dealt you a huge blow," Ian Jorden, sitting in the center, said with profound sincerity: "But before we clear up the situation, let’s not ruin the harmony we have here."

The people from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance are veterans of grand scenes, aren’t they?

Taking over for a mere City Lord of Swimming City isn’t much of a challenge.

When Ian Jorden first arrived in Swimming City under Isabella Warm’s instruction, he started by seeking refuge with the City Lord, becoming the personal guard of the City Lord at the time.

After spending a year observing and learning the City Lord’s habits, he used a mask carefully crafted by Kyler Reed to imprison the real City Lord in a secret room with his trusted followers.

Acting like a cuckoo that laid its eggs in another bird’s nest.

For more than ten years, he questioned relentlessly about news concerning the Vein Holder.

But the old City Lord seemed mute-like, remaining tight-lipped despite extreme torture.

For more than ten years, not a word was spoken.

Now that a major incident has occurred in Swimming City, not to mention the Blue Sea Green Vine that had been cultivated for over three years being nearly destroyed, the leveling of Rat Town to the ground alone has posed quite a challenge for him.

The situation in Swimming City is delicate.

The City Lord’s Mansion is filled with experts, but against the nine forces, it still relies on the balance between them.

If the balance is broken, and one faction starts to absorb the others,

The position of the City Lord can be threatened at any time.

"City Lord, I’m not just making harsh statements out of nowhere. Unlike you all, Seventh Route only has the city of Rat Town. Now that Rat Town has been destroyed, where will my people live, what will they eat?"

Hagan Marsh looked at Ian Jorden and said coldly: "Could it be that the City Lord plans to simply disband my Seventh Route? It is well-known that only someone from inside Swimming City would be capable of doing this, the City Lord’s Mansion has always been strict! It’s not that Mr. Marsh is deliberately making malicious speculations, but really..."

"Hagan Marsh." Ian Jorden interrupted him, slowly rising from his chair and walking up to Hagan Marsh.

"Let me ask, what reason would my City Lord’s Mansion have to blow up your Rat Town? Don’t forget, you and I have a secret cooperation going on!"

Cooperation, naturally, refers to the matter of the Blue Sea Green Vine.

When Isabella Warm first came to Swimming City with her ultimate plan, Ian Jorden, in the capacity of the City Lord, took the lead through a vast wealth and treasures to exchange for a massive cultivation of Blue Sea Green Vine in Rat Town.

They chose Rat Town because it was poor and backward, yet highly agriculturally developed.

Places like Mouse Town, with constant tourist traffic, were simply not safe,

And would be difficult to keep a secret.

In Rat Town, hardly anyone would bother to visit.

Furthermore, Seventh Route’s character for focusing on agriculture and closing off from the world meant that strangers had no way of even stepping half a pace into Rat Town.

Thus, naturally, nobody knew about the Blue Sea Green Vine.

Now that Ian Jorden has brought up this matter into the open, it can only be out of sheer necessity.

Hagan Marsh’s words sounded utterly reasonable.

The control over poison eggs in Swimming City is stringent; without the approval of the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s impossible to transport them out of the city.

Furthermore, the quantity of poison eggs required to level Rat Town to the ground must be enormous,

Not something that could be achieved with a trivial amount.

"Cooperation? I can’t believe the City Lord actually has a cooperative deal with Hagan Marsh."

"Rumors turned out to be true. But Rat Town under Hagan Marsh is rundown, it has no value for any cooperation. Why would the City Lord specifically seek him out?"

The rumors of the City Lord’s Mansion collaborating with Seventh Route had always been circulating.

Some believed them, others did not.

"Enough! I will explain this affair in due course. Everyone please remain calm; the investigators we dispatched will soon..."

"No need!" Before Ian Jorden could finish his sentence, Hagan Marsh stood up with an ashen face and threw his cellphone over.

The signal tower has been repaired, and his mobile phone has reconnected to the network, receiving a video sent by Nicholas Pendleton.

"Xander Cook!"

Hagan Marsh drew out a hidden weapon case from his waist and instantly aimed it at the restless Xander Cook.

"You sure can sit still!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

After speaking, he pulled the safety pin, ready to open the hidden weapon case.

"Protect Commander Cook!"

Whoosh!

The guards by Xander Cook’s side quickly raised their hidden weapon case and aimed it at Hagan Marsh.

Ready to act at any moment.

"Attack!" Seeing the situation turning sour, the Grandmaster-level experts standing behind Hagan Marsh simultaneously stepped forward, each with a murderous look on their face!

The atmosphere in the council hall was filled with a deadly seriousness.

"Xander Cook, give me an explanation." After watching the video, Ian Jorden tossed the phone to his assistant behind him.

Before long, the video was fully displayed on the screen in the council hall.

"It was the Seventh Route’s doing?"

"Openly challenging the covenant, Xander Cook, you’ve got some nerve!"

"You must give us an explanation!"

The other seven forces looked on with anger in their eyes, glaring at the commander of the Seventh Route with murderous intent.

"Speak." Ian Jorden said expressionlessly, "Why blow up Rat Town?"

Rat Town was where the Skypiercing Vine they needed was planted!

That damn Xander Cook!

Ian Jorden was furious to the extreme in his heart.

"Cook was in Swimming City and unaware of the matter." Xander Cook signaled his men to put away their weapons, speaking very calmly, "I am willing to invite the City Lord to investigate this matter! Cook stands upright and fears no shadow!"

The ones involved in the ambush and attack on Rat Town all perished in the explosion.

And the rest can naturally be pinned on his son, Zanis Cook.

Indeed, the Seventh Route suffered a great loss this time.

But the Ninth Route was even worse off!

"Good!" Ian Jorden angrily slammed the table and shouted orders, "General Blake Algernon!"

"At your service!"

A military officer stood up from his seat.

"Go and investigate immediately! If anyone refuses to cooperate, kill them! I give you one day. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, I want this matter cleared up!"

Ian Jorden was enraged!

After three years of planning, just as they were about to reap the benefits, the indispensable substitute for the Blue Sea Green Vine in the Life-prolonging Pill – the Skypiercing Vine was all destroyed!

If Xander Cook was really behind this, there must be someone directing him!

"Understood!" Blake Algernon turned around and strode out of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Everyone, please remain calm and still here. Until the affair is clarified in my City Lord’s Mansion, no one is allowed to leave!"

After saying this, Ian Jorden flung his sleeves vehemently and returned to the inner cabinet.

...

"Are you sure, it’s here?"

At Rat Town’s outskirts, ten kilometers away.

Julius Reed, wearing the white hemp clothes of the Seventh Route, stood with Nicholas Pendleton on a small path.

"Don’t underestimate this road. This narrow dirt track we’re standing on is the essential passage from Swimming City to Rat Town!" Nicholas Pendleton said with a proud tone, "Pendleton has the map in his heart."

"Impressive." Julius Reed praised, then his ears twitched.

"People are coming."

He took out an arrow from behind and slowly notched it onto the bowstring.
