Captain Uther glanced at Count Zidar beside him expressionlessly and nodded.
"Okay, here it is for you."
Rezas and Floyd exchanged surprised looks.
In the bloody conflict in Nam Co, in addition to more than ten Xinfei Chamber of Commerce employees who were killed on the spot, and the whereabouts of more than forty employees are unknown, the most important parties involved were the other fifty mine guards who were present at the time.
Because these fifty guards were all local Dero tribesmen hired locally, they basically survived the conflict, and a few even simply defected and blended into the rioting crowd.
Later, Rezas led his men to the Namtso Mine, and after expelling the rioters, he arrested all six mine guards who had sneaked in, and prepared to interrogate them as witnesses.
However, Rezas then received an order from above, asking them to hand over these witnesses to the Candela Empire investigation team that arrived later, and let them conduct questioning and investigation first.
Although Rezas was extremely dissatisfied, he was still forced to obey the order from above and hand the person over, and he was scheduled to come back in three days.
Because these witnesses are the ones who know the most about the specific situation at that time, they are actually very important. Originally, Rezas would have thought that the Candela Empire would not be able to release him so easily.
But he didn't expect that Captain Uther would actually agree when he opened his mouth now.
After being stunned for a moment, Lesas felt a little abnormal, but he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, let's hand them over now, we still have some things to ask."
Captain Uther turned around and told a subordinate next to him, and the subordinate ran into the camp, apparently to make preparations.
Rezas glanced at Captain Uther, who always seemed to have a blank expression, and then looked at Count Zidar who had the same indifferent expression on the side, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
However, he is currently in front of the Kandra Empire's military camp, but he can't do much except wait quietly.
After a while. Two Kandra Empire soldiers drove an open carriage and sped out of the camp.
Rezas' face suddenly darkened when he saw several human figures bulging behind the carriage carriage and a rag covering them from a distance.
When the carriage approached, he strode up. As soon as he opened the rag, he saw six corpses on the carriage piled haphazardly in the carriage, as if they were broken sacks, and they had long since lost any life.
These six corpses were, of course, the six captured mine guards.
Rezas glanced at the six corpses. After confirming that no one was alive, he turned to look at Captain Uther, his face as dark as water.
"How is this going?"
"What's going on? Don't you want me to return them to you? I have already returned them." Captain Uther replied calmly, still expressionless.
"What the hell!" Rezas was furious. "Three days ago, I gave you six big, lively people, and now you give me six corpses? Is this what the hell you call giving them back to me?"
"Captain Rezas, please be careful with your words." Captain Uther's expression showed no signs of fluctuation. "When we made the agreement three days ago, we didn't say whether we would return you alive or dead, so it doesn't count as a breach of contract."
"You..." Rezas pointed angrily at Captain Uther, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Count Zidar snickering beside him and thought for a moment. He put down his hands, took a deep breath, and managed to regain his composure. "Okay, now tell me, how did they die?"
"It's nothing. We used some tricks to extract confessions. They couldn't survive and died. That's it." Captain Uther replied.
"Small means? Good... very good..." Rezas's hands were shaking with anger, and he wanted to punch Captain Uther's wooden face.
These six guards were extremely important witnesses in this incident, but now all of them are dead. Doesn't it mean that the truth of this matter will remain hidden
And in the end, their testimonies were all in the hands of the Candela Empire, so the Candela Empire could fabricate them at will, which would naturally be extremely detrimental to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, this is based on the fact that the Candela Empire really wants to be more serious with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on this matter.
Although this possibility should be unlikely. But if the final outcome of this incident is unfavorable to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will easily affect the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which will be a moderate blow to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking that he had been feeling endlessly aggrieved since these guys from the Candela Empire came here, and now that they had such a result, Rezas couldn't help but feel angry.
Yet he also knew it. He couldn't do anything until there was an order from above.
So he stared at Captain Uther for a while, turned around and left.
Floyd, who stayed behind, coughed lightly, waved to the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce behind him, motioning for them to pull the carriage away, then nodded to Captain Uther, turned and left.
After returning to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort camp, Rezas was indeed waiting for Floyd in his exclusive barracks.
At this time, Lessard didn't look angry at all. His expression was very calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Floyd, do you think something's wrong?"
"Of course." Floyd nodded. "The fact that they killed these six witnesses did not surprise us, but it was a little strange that they did it so simply and obviously without any cover-up."
"Yes. Based on the actions of these guys in the past few days, I even suspect that they are deliberately trying to provoke us. But they have restrained their men and did not have a direct conflict with us. Could it be that... they have been waiting What good will it do to them if we take action first?”
Floyd thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"I don't know. There's too little information to tell."
"That's right." After thinking for a while, Lessard suddenly said to Floyd: "How sure are you that you can sneak in without being discovered?"
"If there are no magicians of level eight or above in the opponent's camp, then I am 100% sure."
"Well, go try it tonight and see if you can find out anything."
"What if the other party has a magician of level eight or above..."
"If you are discovered, you should quit as soon as possible. If you can't, just reveal your identity. I don't believe they dare to do anything to you."
"good."

At night.
A subtle wave of air followed the night and quietly flowed into the Kandra Empire military camp outside the Namtso Mine, heading straight to the center.
This fluctuation did not stop until it reached a camp that was obviously larger than the surrounding tent.
In the shadow of the tent, a vague figure appeared, extremely thin. The figure that ordinary people cannot detect is none other than Freud.
After sneaking into the camp where the commander was supposed to live, Floyd slowed down his movements and tried his best to suppress the magic fluctuations in his body and the surrounding space. Even breathing almost stopped.
As a high-level elven warrior, this is an ability that Floyd's other colleagues in the guard cannot match, and it is also a unique skill of elven warriors.
Because of this skill, when the escort team needs to carry out stealth operations, they will send out elven guards to perform it.
But this time the mission is special. It's also more important, so Rezas asked Floyd to take action in person.
After waiting quietly for a moment and confirming that no one had discovered him, Freud slowly gathered magic power in his ears again to strengthen his hearing.
After a while, various noisy sounds from around the camp reached his ears.
However, after Freud listened for a long time, he discovered that not a single sound was coming from the tent next to him.
Freud couldn't help but wonder.
It’s not surprising that a nasty human noble like Count Zidar would do something at night, but Captain Uther should stay in the camp at night no matter what, so why is there no movement at all
Floyd thought for a moment and held out a finger. Very carefully detect a trace of magic.
However, until his magic touch touched the tent, it still had no change or impact.
It is now certain that this tent does not have any soundproofing magic.
"This is strange. These guys are not staying in the camp. What are they doing?"
Floyd slightly strengthened the magic elements condensed in his ears, further strengthening the magic power and absorbing the sounds of the entire camp.
But even so, he still didn't hear any sounds from Captain Uther and Count Zidar.
What surprised her even more was that the sounds in this camp were obviously much quieter than he thought.
Although there is a lot of noise, it is compared to a camp with two thousand people. But it was much quieter.
But now was not the time to think about this issue. Floyd listened for a while, and after confirming that there were still no voices from Captain Uther and Count Zidar, he hesitated slightly. Lying on the ground, he reached out his hand to open a corner of the tent, leaned over and looked inside.
What you see is indeed a huge tent, and it has been completely lit up by a magic lamp, so you can see clearly.
However, there were indeed no figures of Captain Uther and Count Zidar in the camp. There was only one man in the middle of the camp who looked about sixty years old. An old man wearing a black robe is sitting on the ground.
As soon as Floyd's eyes fell on him, the old man reacted instantly. He turned his head and his eyes shot out with dazzling light, just in time to catch Floyd's eyes.
"Oops!"
Floyd's heart tightened, and he regrouped his magic power without hesitation. His body instantly melted into the darkness, and he turned around and walked away.
Just by taking a glance, he was convinced that the old man in the camp was a powerful magician of at least level nine or even higher, and he was no match for him.
However, as soon as his body moved, he suddenly felt a sudden chaos in the magic power of the surrounding space. A pillar of mud surged up from the ground, directly binding his legs tightly together, making it impossible for him to move at all.
The next moment, the old magician suddenly appeared next to him, looking at him with an interesting expression.
"Elves? Such experimental subjects are really hard to find..."
Freud was shocked, but he lost consciousness instantly before he could utter a single syllable.
The moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly noticed a ray of fire rising into the sky from the distance.
That direction seems to be the direction of the mine... (~^~)
