A biting chill instantly surged into Zeboto's heart, making him feel his entire scalp getting chilly.
It's just some locals making trouble, which is not terrible. As long as the other party offers conditions, it proves that there is room for negotiation.
But once a dead person appears, they are two completely different things.
The Dero people have always been known for their unity and xenophobia. Now, at this time, such a murderous incident occurred, and the murder weapon was obviously a magic repeating crossbow from the mine guard. In other words, this is a new flying The Chamber of Commerce kills people first!
Faced with this situation, there is no need to guess how the Dero people will react!
Sure enough, as soon as the screams came out, the crowd that had been dead silent a moment ago suddenly boiled up, and the faces of countless people who were still restrained were now completely replaced by anger.
"Kill these foreign bastards!"
"Kill them all!"
"kill… "
…
The crowd who were stunned by the blood had no sense at all. Although the fifty guards were still holding magic repeating crossbows to block the gate, they did not dare to continue firing the repeating crossbows, so under the impact of nearly a thousand people , they didn't even block it for a blink of an eye, and the blockade was broken by the tide of people, and they all poured into the mine.
"That guy over there is the leader of the mine, beat him to death!"
Suddenly another shout broke out from the crowd, and then the people who were pouring into the mine like headless flies all turned to look in the direction of Zeboto and Abach. After staying for a while, they turned this way. They rushed over together.
Abach's face turned pale instantly and he pulled Zeboto forcefully.
"Let's go!"
Zeboto staggered two steps after being pulled by Abach. After regaining his composure, he threw away Abach's hand and shouted loudly: "You are the person in charge of the mine, how can you run away at this time?" !”
Abach glanced at Zeboto in astonishment and said eagerly: "Do you still think these madmen can't be reasonable? Run first! In the worst case, we will let the guards take back the mine later. Leave quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Zeberto angrily threw Abach's hand away again.
"As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, running away at this time is abandoning the trust that the Chamber of Commerce has placed in us!"
After that, Zeboto ignored Abach's loud shouting behind him and walked towards the rushing crowd.
As he walked, he raised his hands high and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please calm down! I am..."
"Whoosh—"
Several crossbow arrows were shot out from nowhere. One of the bullets just penetrated Zeboto's neck, instantly blocking the rest of his words.
Zeboto touched his neck with a look of astonishment and fell to the ground.

The severe cold in the winter of 3802 in the continental calendar has not completely passed. A shocking news has spread throughout the continent of Sainz, adding a chill to the entire continent.
Mid-March. A conflict between the local Dero tribe and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mine suddenly occurred in a mine located in the northwest of the Dero Kingdom of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This is no ordinary conflict.
In this conflict, three people of the local Dero tribe died directly, more than ten people were seriously injured, and hundreds of people were slightly injured. It can be said that the consequences were extremely serious.
However, compared to the losses suffered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the losses suffered by the local Dero people were nothing at all.
During the conflict, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mine was completely occupied by the rioting local Dero tribe. Almost all the equipment in the mine was damaged to varying degrees, resulting in direct and indirect economic losses of at least tens of thousands of gold coins.
However, compared with the economic losses, the real serious ones are the human losses.
in conflict. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce employees in the mine were directly attacked by the rioting local Luo tribe. In the end, as many as ten Xinfei Chamber of Commerce employees were killed on the spot, and the remaining more than 40 Xinfei Chamber of Commerce employees suffered varying degrees of injuries. injured and subsequently disappeared.
Among these casualties, the most serious one was the captain of the mineral transport fleet sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for the major minerals of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Wales and surrounding countries. He was also responsible for the inspection and liaison work of major minerals. Zeberto was also directly killed in the conflict.
This is the highest-ranking person in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who died in this conflict, and also the highest-level person who died in an accident in the more than 20 years since the establishment of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as the incident occurred, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce immediately issued a public statement. It strongly condemned the atrocities committed by the local Dero people and issued a serious warning to the Dero Kingdom.
At the same time, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stationed near the city of Dero, King of the Dero Tribe, set off immediately to the site of the incident to handle follow-up matters. At the same time, attempts were made to rescue more than 40 Xinfei Chamber of Commerce employees who had lost contact.
After the news was voluntarily disclosed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the first reaction of almost everyone else was that the Dero Kingdom was doomed this time.
During the riots in the Dero Kingdom a few years ago, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce unceremoniously sent out escorts and gained certain control over the Dero Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Now something like this happened again within the Dero Kingdom. It simply gave the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a great excuse once again, allowing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to more confidently strengthen its control over the Dero Kingdom.
Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing, the Dero Kingdom may be destroyed.
With the powerful combat effectiveness of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escorts, no one doubts that they can do this.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the incident and warned the Dro Kingdom, the Candela Empire suddenly issued a statement through its official newspaper.
In this statement, the Kandela Empire stated that in the bloody conflict at the Namtso mine, it was not the locals of the Dero ethnic group who took action first, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mine guards who shot and killed one of the conflicting people first, which triggered the crowd's anger. Riot, in fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should bear the main responsibility for this incident.
Moreover, the person who was shot first was not actually a local Dero tribe, but a Kandela tribe!
As soon as the statement from the Candela Empire came out, it immediately caused a shock.
People were shocked not by the so-called "truth in the conflict" announced by the Candela Empire, but by why the Candela Empire made such a statement.
Although this bloody conflict was serious, before that, it was just a matter between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Dero Kingdom.
With the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and what happened during the previous riots in the Luo Kingdom, no one thought that the Luo Kingdom could withstand the pressure of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time. In the end, they could only lower their heads and let Xinfei. The Chamber of Commerce handles this matter.
But now the Candela Empire suddenly jumped out and revealed that the most critical one among the conflicting people who was shot and killed was actually a member of the Candela Empire. What does this mean
Could it be that... the Candela Empire really wants to get involved in this matter, and even... have a head-on confrontation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
If this matter is just a matter between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Dero Kingdom, then it doesn't matter which party takes action first. Anyway, the Dero Kingdom has no way to resist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But if that person is a Candela person, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce kills him first, then it gives the Candela Empire a good excuse to intervene in this matter.
Moreover, the Candela Empire unexpectedly chose to intervene, which really surprised everyone.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with the Candela Empire's approach.
People from the Candela Empire were killed by guards from a chamber of commerce in other countries. As a motherland, of course we should stand up for this person and find out the truth.
But in fact, the Candela Empire has been cooperating closely with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in recent years, and the relationship between the two parties is almost as good as glue. The Candela Empire has also made many concessions in front of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so in everyone's eyes, the one who was the first to be attacked in this matter Even if the person killed was really a Candela, the Candela Empire should not come forward.
Even if the Candela Empire has any objections to this, at most they can discuss it privately with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the two parties secretly reach an agreement to ask the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to make compensation or understand the matter.
As a result, the Candela Empire now disclosed this matter in public, and even directly accused the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce of maliciously fabricating facts, which was too disrespectful to the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.
Could it be that... there are any cracks in the cooperation between the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
On April 2, half a month after the bloody incident in the Namtso Mine, the Kandela Empire announced that it would send an investigation team into the Dero Kingdom to investigate the specific circumstances of the bloody conflict.
The day before, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stationed in Luo City, the royal capital of the Luo tribe, had detached a team of 500 people and entered the Namtso mine to investigate the incident and try to recover what had been lost. Enter the mines controlled by the local Dero tribe.
At the same time, the Dero Kingdom officially issued a statement that it was willing to actively cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire to conduct a detailed investigation of this incident.
Officials from the Dero Kingdom stated that they are willing to help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce find out the truth of the incident and try their best to ensure the safety of employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, if the investigation results show that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually the fault party, as the Candela Empire said, then the Dero Kingdom will lodge a serious protest with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and seek justice for the local Dero people.
This official statement from the Dero Kingdom also caused various doubts from the outside world.
Since the riots in the Dero Kingdom a few years ago and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suppressed it, although the Dero Kingdom has not been destroyed, it has been suppressed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In the past few years, it has not made any voice of its own. .
However, at this important juncture, the official of the Dero Kingdom suddenly jumped out and claimed that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would give justice to the Dero people...
Who gave them the courage
Is it the Candela Empire
With such doubts, the entire Sainz continent's eyes instantly focused on the small Namtso Mine. (~^~)
