Chapter 556: Trust causes trouble

The moonlight was washed, Alice stood on the balcony and stared quietly into the night sky. Beeri and Kumaragosha had led their troops to leave Huangshi Province three days ago, but Alice did not leave. Perhaps because of her fear of being close to home, or if she did not want to witness the fate of some people, or to gather away refugees who had escaped, she stayed firmly.

The entire mansion was much quieter than usual. The mercenaries of the Major League also left with An Fei. Only Xinpera's regiment remained in the city. The personal guard trained by Xinpera officially took up his post and began to be responsible for Alice's daily safety.

"It's cold now. Wear more clothes and be careful of your health." Susanna said as she walked over and draped the cloak in her hand on Alice.

"Susanna, thank you." Alice whispered.

"You..." Susanna shook her head. She didn't like Alice's etiquette that she would never forget, but she couldn't say anything.

"The An Fei incident has spread, right?" Alice changed the topic.

"Yeah." Susanna lowered her voice: "If those guys really want to do something, it must have been these days."

"You have to be more careful!"

"You should be careful." Susanna smiled and said in a confident tone: "I have it, what are you afraid of?!" After that, Susanna patted the long sword on her waist, and could reach the peak of a professional. The most basic factor is to have the belief of winning. Even Nasserett didn't even have confidence to overcome all kinds of difficulties. Even Nasseret didn't believe that An Fei could kill him at the last moment, which was enough to prove what kind of confidence he had.

"If they were really Wester's people, they wouldn't hurt me." Alice tidied up the cloak on her shoulder with her hands: "An Fei used me as bait... something was wrong. I always feel that their real goal is An Fei and you!"

"Oh?" Susanna was stunned for a moment, frowned and pondered.

"Susanna, be careful." Alice said solemnly.

"Okay, okay. I know." Susanna smiled and grabbed Alice's arm: "Let's go in and talk, it's cold here."

More than 300 meters away from Alice's official residence, two groups of men in black with faces confronted each other in an ordinary house, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.

"Douglas, we clearly agreed to act together, what does it mean that you suddenly want to quit?" One of the men in black roared in a low voice, his voice even trembling slightly. He was obviously extremely angry.

"When did I say quit?" Douglas, standing opposite him, whispered. Although his face was covered with black cloth, he could still hear his smile: "Walter, remember I told you that I had to find a way to make up for my mistakes, but what did you do? I did nothing!"

"What does this have to do with today's actions?!"

"It's ridiculous." Douglas shook his head: "Walter, you've been blinded by hatred! An Fei noticed our existence, but he didn't know anything at all. But you and your sister specifically reminded him, and then, you didn't make up for it. Do you really treat An Fei as a child? An Fei knew our existence, but he left Huangshi Province at this time. There must be ghosts here!"

"Douglas, don't think that others are fools!" Walter said coldly: "Before the action, my people had already heard news that An Fei was indeed in the Shem River Province. He also took action himself and killed several rebellious nobles and a dozen guards on the spot. Beeri, Thor, Stig and others all went to the Shem River Province. No matter what trick An Fei was playing, only Susanna could pose a threat to us in this city. I'm very surprised. What are you still worried about? An Fei is a person after all, so he won't be careless?!"

"Okay, take your people in." Douglas shrugged: "I'll stay here, and I won't steal your credit."

"You..." Walter was a little angry. Only Susanna could threaten him. This is true, but assassination is not a single fight. The battle must be ended in the shortest time. If Hinpera's mercenary group is alarmed and thousands of mercenaries surrounded them, the consequences will be unpredictable. Moreover, he knows very well that Alice has formed a new local guard. Most of them are willing to work hard for the forces represented by An Fei. This is also the purpose of their joining the personal guard. Even if other local people deliberately make trouble, the personal guard can still exert a certain degree of combat effectiveness.

"What am I?" Douglas curled his lips secretly. In fact, he looked down on Walter. He had just arrived in Yellowstone Province and forced to save people. Before he could settle the score with Walter, Walter's sister Julie sent someone to assassinate Susanna. After learning the news, he almost fainted from anger. According to his original idea, he could make a secret arrangement and wait. Even if he could not kill An Fei, he could cause severe damage to An Fei. Now everything is over.

"Douglas, you really don't plan to act together?" Walter said word by word. He had lost patience. Walter was not married. His only relative was Julie. Now he had to endure Julie's crying, moaning, and even screams awakened from his nightmare. His spirit was overwhelmed. Today is the time for him to avenge Julie. No one can stop him. He must let An Fei taste what kind of pain this is!

"Haha...threatening me?" Douglas laughed contemptuously: "I have only heard of forced buying and selling. Do you still want to force me to kill someone for you?"

Douglas's men also laughed softly, of course they would stand on their leader's side. Walter glanced at Douglas deeply, turned around and walked out the door. At this moment, the night cry of a crow came from outside.

Walter took a breath of air conditioning, put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Douglas took off his floor mask and said with a smile: "It should be my man, Walter, don't be nervous."

"You told someone about this place?" Walter angrily.

"After tonight, is this still a secret?" Douglas said as if nothing had happened.

There was a rhythmic knock on the door outside. After a moment, a young man in a magic robe walked in slowly. Val looked at him. He was about twenty-four or five years old, and he was handsome. He was wearing the medal of a high-level magician on his chest. It was very rare to become a high-level magician at this age!

"Brufid, are you bringing me good or bad news?" Douglas asked softly, his eyes full of appreciation. He had never been stingy with his expression for the right-hand man in front of him.

"Good news." Brufid's eyes swept over Walter and said softly: "But... this made me even more confused."

"oh?"

"An Fei is indeed in the Shem River Province. Sir, do you think this is normal?" Brufider paused: "From our understanding of An Fei, he cannot be so careless, and... Beeri and Kumaragosha led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Shem River Province. He is not needed there, he should stay here!"

Douglas frowned and pondered, and Walter's eyes also showed hesitation. What Brufid said was exactly what he had been unable to understand and was unwilling to think about. He could not have so many concerns. The most important thing is to avenge Julie and relieve his master's worries!

"What's ridiculous is that Anfei brought all the people of Chris Ding." Brufid whispered: "He is very busy, busier than Beeri. He even rushed to the army and sent mercenaries to capture towns, as if... the war was commanded by him."

"I understand!" Walter suddenly said in a lost voice, and Brufid's words gave him an inspiration.

"What?" Douglas was stunned.

"I understand why An Fei is!" Walter said slowly: "For the sake of merit, not only Chris Ding must go. If An Fei wants to get more, he must also appear on the battlefield! Beerli has always taken good care of him, and Beerli is a marshal, so he doesn't need to compete with An Fei at all. Beerli will definitely record these contributions on An Fei and Chris Ding one by one."

"You're saying something is reasonable..." Douglas pondered, then his eyes turned to Brufid: "Brufid, how is Anfei doing in the Flash River Province?"

"It's very high-profile, and even went out to fight in person, as if afraid that others wouldn't know he was coming." Brufid whispered: "So I'm very suspicious that someone is pretending to be him, and it took a while to find out."

"This is even more obvious!" Walter made a judgment: "He just wanted to scare us with high profile, so that we could think he was still here!"

"I have another question. Why didn't An Fei take Susanna with him? Instead, let Susanna stay?" Douglas said.

"Does this still need to be asked?" Walter laughed contemptuously, and he finally took revenge: "An Fei doesn't know who we are, let alone who our target is. Alice has been attacked repeatedly, so he wants to leave someone to protect Alice! The only people under An Fei can use Anthony and Susanna, and it is always inconvenient to keep Anthony. Susanna is the best choice."

Douglas' brows slowly became loose, and Walter's analysis did make some sense.

"Also, An Fei only knows my existence, you have never taken action. An Fei thinks that leaving a Susanna and Himpera's mercenary group is enough to deal with us, so he is not a risk."

Douglas's eyes fell on Brufid, and he still couldn't make a decision, so he could only ask for Brufid's opinion.

Brufid pondered for a moment and nodded softly: "It makes sense, I have also heard of Alice's assassination."
