Chapter 635 - 635 155 Investigation Team vs Warehouse Fire Case_3

635: Chapter 155, Investigation Team vs Warehouse Fire Case_3 635: Chapter 155, Investigation Team vs Warehouse Fire Case_3 Whenever we transport strategic materials, it’s dispatched as soon as a signature is provided, even the most basic quantity checks have been omitted.

Clearly, we are being deliberately guided to stretch our hands into the logistics supplies.

As long as the logistics headquarters pays a little attention, no one dares to go this far!

I strongly suspect that Hudson is working in cooperation with a powerful party to plot this political conspiracy against us, the nobles of the North.

Given the current situation, the biggest suspicion falls on His Majesty the King.

Otherwise, the Kingdom’s Investigating Team would not have arrived so quickly.

Right now they are busily investigating Hudson, but I bet that the eventual investigation result will find him faultless.

Perhaps in addition to this visible investigation team, there is an undercover investigation team that has infiltrated us early on, secretly collecting evidence against us.”

The more Duke Dias speculated, the more plausible it seemed.

Just recently, in the case of the attempted assassination of the King, Caesar III had chosen to restrain himself rather than take any strong actions.

For a monarch, restraining oneself without taking any action means that a big move is being planned.

As the most unstable political group in the kingdom, and the number one suspects, Caesar III had every reason to take action against them.

Reporting to the Human Alliance would certainly disgrace the Alpha Kingdom.

But the intervention of the Alliance Investigation Team also stripped them of the courage to overturn the table.

With so many human armies on the front line, whatever the final outcome of the investigation, they could only choose to bear it.

The several of them glanced at each other, their faces changing drastically.

If the King did have a hand in this, their fate would be uncertain once their shortcomings were exposed.

Perhaps Caesar III would take this opportunity to strike hard, directly using the resale of military supplies as an excuse to send them smoothly to meet the Lord of the Dawn.

If they didn’t want to be the nobles who took the initiative, then they wouldn’t even be able to keep their final dignity.

By causing a commotion, the King could completely uproot their clans with the aid of the Human Alliance.

“No!

We can’t just sit and wait for death!

No matter if this is Caesar III’s behind-the-scenes operation, he won’t miss this great opportunity to target us!

The crime of selling military supplies could be pinned on the other nobles in the Kingdom, but if it touched us, we would surely be doomed.

We must take extreme measures.

We can’t care about too much at this point.

If an accident occurs, at most we’re just incompetent.

At worst, we’ll lose our military positions, face a hefty fine and be sent home to retire.

After a few years of silence, I can make a comeback.”

Duke Pias said with guilt.

The others were only suspects in the assassination case, but he was a real participant.

Although he did not participate personally, he manipulated from behind the scenes.

Despite his careful concealment, who could guarantee that Caesar III wouldn’t track it back to him?

After all, concrete evidence isn’t necessary for such matters.

As long as there is evidence suggesting that he was involved, that would be enough.

“Let’s do it, let the Red Dragon take action!”

Duke Cavadia said with determination.

He didn’t want to wear the hat of inefficiency, but the Felix family couldn’t afford to gamble now.

If he, the main pillar, were to break, the next generation wouldn’t be able to maintain the family business.

…

A flame several tens of meters long spewed out, creating a sea of fire wherever it went.

The raging flames continuously devoured everything around them.

Countless soldiers guarding the warehouse were terrified by the horrific scene and scattered, wishing they had more legs for faster escape.

Watching their camp submerge into chaos, with no outstanding soldiers appearing to intercede, let alone senior leaders organizing a counterattack, the Red Dragon is freely causing devastation.

Looking at the numerous human soldiers fleeing below and igniting fires in his path, Maxim, the giant dragon, was very satisfied.

This was the life of a dragon, the previous failures were merely coincidental.

Deep down, he had looked down upon the human race countless times.

Because of internal conflicts, someone even paid him to burn their own camp, which is absurd.

However, given that the other party was willing to pay a high price, he wouldn’t complain.

After all, it was hard to find another such extravagant employer.

Sometimes, he would spew flames, sometimes, he would toss a huge fireball.

Maxim was having the time of his life within the camp.

The five dukes hiding in the shadows watching the battle, however, were bleeding inwardly.

They only hired the giant dragon to burn the warehouse, but they did not ask it to kill people.

Unfortunately, dragons by nature are destroyers.

They don’t need to intentionally do anything, just a normal act of fire-breathing can cause enormous casualties to the guards.

Senior leaders knew the dragon before them was hired to destroy evidence, but the people below didn’t, they were still thinking of ways to drive the dragon away.

Maxim was clearly not a well-tempered dragon.

If any “reptiles” dared to disturb him, he would not mind rewarding them with a whip of his tail!

The burning of the warehouse by the fire dragon was accompanied by a slaughter.

This huge commotion soon attracted the attention of the Gryphon Cavalry patrolling in the distance, and the news quickly spread out.

…

“A giant dragon that looked like the Dragon King attacked the camp?

Earl Hudson, are you sure you’re not joking?!”

Meeting Duke Aefero’s doubtful gaze, Hudson immediately explained: “Absolutely, Your Excellency.

This news just came in.

A massive red dragon has attacked the camp of the Nobles of the North, currently wreaking havoc within the encampment.

To my knowledge, this is not the first appearance of this giant dragon.

He attacked the Rocknard Family’s lair before, but they managed to drive it away.

Its attack on our camp now is indeed strange.

However, we need to ask the Vice Marshal Duke Cavadia, who has always been in charge of military affairs over there.

From the intelligence gathered by Gryphon Cavalry, they seem to have been scared out of their wits.

They have not organized an effective counterattack.

They committed a gross oversight by not using the Magic Crystal Cannon and Magic Crossbow, allowing the giant dragon to wreak havoc freely.

Besides, this giant dragon seems to love starting fires and always chooses our warehouses to burn.”

Taking advantage of the situation, Hudson left the rest of the matter for Duke Aefero to infer.

Knowing that the Nobles of the North would make trouble, he never anticipated that they would pull off the classic “Fire Dragon Burns the Barn”.

Unfortunately, their lack of experience showed, their methods were too blatant, leaving loopholes everywhere.

When putting on a show, at least let the Magic Crystal Cannon fire, and the military experts must move to present a picture of attempting to intercept desperately.

Of course, there’s also a significant risk.

Dragons have never been good actors.

If they lose their temper, it could spell real trouble.

“Fire Dragon Burns Barn is a rare spectacle on the continent.

Earl Hudson, let’s take people over to have a look; take it as a learning experience!”

Duke Aefero spoke with a gloomy face.

It is clear that he is genuinely angry.

The trouble caused by those Nobles of the North at this critical moment was clearly an insult to his intelligence.

However, under the circumstances that the loophole could not be covered, any action that insults intelligence must be carried out.

Being suspected of reselling military supplies is always better than being found guilty with concrete evidence.
