Besides the three 6th-rank Sanctuary powerhouses, several nobles of varying status were standing in the hall, including players who had had the fortune of participating in this meeting after completing various tasks.
Take the young loli, Sky Dragon, for example.
Sky Dragon glanced at the other players in the hall and those players also glanced back. They all shared knowing smiles, their attention fixating on the city lord, Claude, who sat in the main seat.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Claude looked down at the nobles and slowly began, “Everyone, how do you view the recent actions of Unicorn Knights’ chief Tina Garcia?”
As Claude’s voice fell, a red-haired, middle-aged male noble stepped forward from the crowd.
He spoke loudly, “Lord, Commander Garcia has used force within the city without the city lord’s manor’s command. Her actions can be categorized as a ‘serious overstep’.”
A purple-haired female aristocrat also came out of the crowd, saying, “Your Lordship, Commander Garcia has been slaughtering in the name of clearing out gangs, but in the process, she has harmed many innocent civilians. Hundreds of innocent civilians’ assets have been plundered by the Knights. She must be chastised!”
“Your Lordship, Garcia she “.
The nobles in the hall were filled with righteous indignation, bursts of criticisms breaking out.
The reaction of the nobles was not strange, really.
This time Tina uprooted the underworld forces in the city, indirectly touching the interests of many nobles.
The underworld and the nobility were entangled and interwoven.
At least 70% of the nobles present had connections with the underworld, and their mutual benefit exchange was countless.
Some gangs were even goons secretly supported by the nobles!
Like the biggest gang in the city, the Blood Union, has connections with most of the nobles in the city.
A few days ago, Tina killed the Union’s leader, Jason, with a single sword. Many of the nobles were regulars at the casino that Jason had opened.
Now, Tina cleared out the gangs all at once. Those noble “Lords” who suffered a loss of interests were, of course, not pleased.
Using their number as an advantage, they rushed out to oppose Tina.
City Lord Claude gestured for everyone to quieten down.
Then, he turned his gaze to the two distinguished guests on either side, “Your Excellency Grace Windsor, Your Excellency Franken Jean, what is your view on this matter?”
Grace and Franken exchanged a glance.
Franken stroked his beard and calmly said, “Regardless, Commander Garcia’s behavior indeed violated military law. Firstly, she led the army to attack the bandit camps outside the city and crackdown on the underground organizations within the city, two matters which are outside the jurisdiction of the Unicorn Knights. I am correct, aren’t I, Lady Grace?”
Franken looked at Grace on the other side.
Grace acknowledged with a nod, “You’re right. According to imperial military law, the Unicorn Knights do not need to perform such duties. Those should be the responsibilities of the city guards.”
Franken nodded, smiling, “Secondly, Commander Garcia formulated and implemented military actions without any superior’s commands, which also clearly violated military law, so ”
Franken paused for a moment here, then spoke loudly: “I support you, my Lord, in correcting Commander Garcia’s wrongful behavior under the framework of imperial military law.”
Franken’s choice of words was very careful. He said “correct” instead of “chastise”, which lessens the severity greatly.
Not only Franken; Grace’s expression was also very calm as she looked at the city lord, “I agree with Magister Franken’s views.”
City Lord Claude had long guessed that Franken and Grace would have this kind of reaction.
He stood up and formally said to everyone, “In that case, why don’t those of us present join forces and go to Unicorn Town tomorrow morning to warn Tina Garcia against reckless behavior. What does everyone think?”
Upon hearing Claude’s stance, the nobles present immediately responded enthusiatically:
“I support His Lordship!”
“I also support!”
“Commander Garcia must pay for her violations!”
Both Franken and Grace raised their eyebrows while the nobles were frenziedly agreeing.
They both didn’t really want to rashly oppose Tina, as opposing Tina, a being on the same level as them, would definitely have great risks.
When their family’s core interests aren’t being damaged, they only want to verbally condemn Tina and verbally support the City Lord, without intending to carry out any substantial actions. This is also known as――”When it’s free, it’s fine, but not when there’s money involved.”
But if all the city’s nobles go to Unicorn Town together to confront Tina with the Lord leading the way and they only stand within the crowd to boost morale, it seems like it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Having comprehended this, Franken was the first to say, “Lord, I am willing to go to Unicorn Town with everyone else.”
Grace hesitated, “As the former commander of the Unicorn Knights, it’s inappropriate for me to stand opposed to the army, so I can’t go. However, my brother Kerton Windsor will go in my place.”
“That’s settled then!” Claude, having achieved his goal, revealed a slight smile, “Then, tomorrow morning at ten, everyone will meet at the North Gate of the City and head to Unicorn Town together!”
“Your orders shall be obeyed, my Lord!”
Sky Dragon and a few other players stood in the back and watched coldly.
They transmitted everything happening inside the city lord’s manor to the outside world via private message.
Even a live text thread appeared on the forums, reciting the exchanges between the powerhouses word for word.
Su Yu was in Unicorn Camp playing chess with Tina. He read the meeting contents recounted by Sky Dragon while playing chess.
After reading, Su Yu stroked his chin in thought.
How should he deal with this group of nobles when they come tomorrow?
After about two minutes.
Just as Su Yu was thinking of telling Tina about the contents of the city lord manor’s meeting, he suddenly received a message from Sky Dragon: “Nemesis, about the thing you promised me—you would become my boyfriend four years later—is it still valid?”
Su Yu: ” ”
Sister, Skuru is now at our doorstep and you’re still thinking about this?
So he replied: “Of course it counts. As long as I’m not dead four years later, it counts.”
Sky Dragon: “Oh.”
No more messages after that.
The next day at 10 am, which was Tina’s 46th task phase, City Lord Claude led the city’s nobles in a line of over a hundred horse-drawn carriages in an impressive procession up to Unicorn Town to confront Tina.
Tina, who had known about the city lord manor’s meeting from Su Yu early on, had already thought of a strategy in response.
Tina’s strategy is to “fight fire with fire”, using roundabout methods to achieve her planning.
At 11 in the morning, the huge cavalcade led by the city lord arrived at Unicorn Town.
Tina floated in the air, smiling at Claude, Franken, and the rest of the similarly floating 5th-rank powerhouses in front of her.
“Gentlemen, what brings you to Unicorn Town this time?”
