In Hopelander City, the Helis family is located in the wealthy area on the west side. This is the place where the nobles lived in the early years. Later, after the independence of the business alliance, it became the gathering place for the rich of the big chamber of commerce.
The Karites Chamber of Commerce is located on the north side in the middle of the city. Because it is a new rising star, there is not much vacant land on the west side, so Angus simply bought a large piece of land in the center and north of the city. as the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Nissos family is in the east. Although this is not a wealthy area, it has a different meaning to the family, because the ancestor of the Nissos family was a fruit seller, and he bought it here when he settled in Hopeland. He bought the first house, and later did not move out even though the Nissos family developed.
The current situation in the city is as follows: Three houses on the west side, Agnemi, Helis, Tisifone, Karites in the middle, and Nissos on the east side.
The city gates and city walls in the west, north, and east directions have been closed by Anemii, Tisifone, and Nissos, while Helis and Carites are trapped in the city. The home and the other two are relatively close, and the situation is particularly critical.
The streets that used to be spacious and tidy have completely changed. The blue slate bricks are full of debris. Wooden boxes and fences have been erected and placed in the middle of the street, blocking the space for communication. Standing on both sides of the street Facing the crowd, they held torches, wore armor, and held weapons, confronting each other.
The faces under the firelight were so familiar. They were both employees of a large chamber of commerce. They were very close to each other. Cattle.
If it weren't for this sudden accident, no one would have thought that they would fight against each other tonight. I am afraid that only they themselves know the complicated feelings in this.
The salary of a large chamber of commerce is much higher than that of a small chamber of commerce. In addition, there are many benefits, which are relatively stable, so over time, it is basically working for generations. For example, when a grandfather retires, his son is hired, and when his son is old, his grandson is hired. Some positions even form hereditary.
For example, the gardeners of the Anemii family have three generations of their ancestors as gardeners for the Anemii family. They have dealt with other members of the chamber of commerce since they were young, and their grandparents and fathers all worked in the chamber of commerce and were very familiar with each other.
In this era, the accumulation and inheritance of experience is very important. From father to son, from son to grandson, handing down a craft will definitely be much better than those who change careers on their own. Therefore, these old employees and backbones are also the backbone of the big chamber of commerce. The trusted confidant of past generations of patriarchs.
And the big chamber of commerce is no longer limited to a money-making organization, it is also an interest group, which is why these employees are so loyal, even if they pick up a knife and fight, they will not reject it, because their own interests are closely related to the chamber of commerce of.
Ruining people's fortunes is like killing one's parents, not to mention this kind of thing that directly smashes the bowl and ruins the family.
But after all, the people on both sides of the confrontation know each other. Under the inertia of the past, you said that it is still a little difficult to let them fight for life and death suddenly.
The brazier supported by the wooden pole was burning vigorously, and from time to time there was the sound of sparks bursting, and the two sides questioned and cursed each other.
A considerable part of the Tisifone family went to the city gate and city wall on the north side, so most of the people who confronted the Helis family on the west side were from the Anemii family. In fact, the employees at the bottom were also a little confused. The opponent fought.
It can be said that the Hellis family is for self-protection, while the Anemii side is quite confused.
At this time, several messengers rode their horses through the crowd and walked to the confronting street. These messengers wore three micro-chambers respectively. They were composed of three companies. They held a document notice in their hands, and then read aloud. :

[Residents of Hopelander, there is an instruction from the General Guild of the Vilgar Business Alliance. The Helles family and the Karites Chamber of Commerce colluded to rebel against the West Wind, intending to rebel.
Now grant the Tisifone Chamber of Commerce, the Anemii Chamber of Commerce, and the Nissos Chamber of Commerce the right to special operations to assist the Hopelander Branch to capture the traitors of the Helles and Carites families.
However, because most of the employees of the two chambers of commerce do not know about it, it is hereby announced that those who put down their weapons and join forces with others can be forgiven for their sins, save their families, and ignore the past.
If you are still stubborn and continue to resist, you will be killed without mercy! ]
The loud voice spread far in the middle of the night, and there was silence everywhere. After the reading was finished, the shrill voice of discussion slowly resumed.
"Let me tell you, they really have a problem, otherwise Lord Noyce suddenly called us up." An Anemii guard said.
"I really don't know what the Hellis family thought. They actually hooked up with the rebels in the north. Did you forget that even now, Verga is still a vassal of the West Wind in name?"
"Who knows, I just want to go home and sleep quickly, it's too cold at night."
"Hey, I don't know if the chamber of commerce will give out more money this time, standing with a gun for one night. My wife gave birth to another one."
"You are also fierce enough, this is the third one."
"Of course, I'm super fierce."
Everyone in the Anemii family felt relieved after listening to it, and they even started chatting leisurely. In their opinion, the General Guild of the Alliance has ordered, and there are still three joint actions. The righteousness is suppressed, and the opposite side will surrender sooner or later. something happened.
And the people in the Hallis family on the other side also began to shake as expected. After all, treason is too heavy for ordinary people to bear. Even the eyes that look at the opposite side are not as calm as before.
And some members of the Anemii family also began to persuade them to surrender.
"George, don't stand there foolishly, come here quickly, I will tell the steward about your situation and make sure you are all right. You still owe me money. If it's gone, who will I call to collect the debt."
"Yeah, come here soon, George. You don't even think about your mother and sister. You are still relying on you to support the family. If you are gone, what will they do? I still want to be your brother-in-law."
A young man with a bow from the Helis family stood under the brazier, hesitant. The people next to him looked at it and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he sighed and said nothing. They are unable to protect themselves, what qualifications do they have to persuade the people next to them, aren't they hesitating themselves.
If the Hellis family is really over, where should they go in the future, who doesn't care about it, and who doesn't want to live.
George turned his back and leaned under the big wooden box, his emotions tumbling in his heart. His grandfather was an old employee of the Helis family. His father went out to fool around when he was young and didn't work in the chamber of commerce. Later, he got married and had children. The same was true until he died in the street because of drunkenness and fighting with others a few years ago. .
Last year, before his death and retirement, my grandfather asked the housekeeper to let him take his place, working in the chamber of commerce, and thinking about his old relationship, the housekeeper agreed, and he also lived a better life than his peers. Grateful and proud.
After entering the chamber of commerce, the housekeeper took good care of him. He was fortunate enough to meet Miss Mei Lu once, and she also praised him for his good bows and arrows, which made him excited for a long time. But now he said that he wanted to make him a traitor and leave the Hellis house, and he really couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.
Just as he closed his eyes and hesitated, a rush of hooves sounded from the other side of the street. It was also a small group of horse-riding messengers. They had micro-signs of lacquer night flowers and camellias on their chests, and they held up the documents in their hands, with black pens on them. The announcement was clearly written, and there was a bright red seal underneath.
[The children of the Vergar Alliance are now at a critical time of survival. Tisifone, Anemii, Nissos, the three chambers of commerce colluded with the Green Empire, intending to use Hopelander as a springboard to lead the imperial army to invade and destroy Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua.
In order to break this evil and crazy conspiracy, the people of the seven kingdoms in the city are invited to assist us Helis and Karites to eliminate the evil spirits and defeat these rebellious evil people who have sealed the city.
Following the ancient covenant between the seven countries, long live the Xuehua United! ]
