Chapter 408: Night Walker Organization
The city lord nodded and said with a head full of cold sweat, “I also just received the news from the Imperial Capital. When I received the news, even I was shocked.”
A n.o.ble said with trepidation, “What does His Majesty the Human King look like? City Lord, you were also in the Imperial Capital at that time. Can you tell us? Is there anything we need to be afraid of when meeting His Majesty the Human King…”
Now, the reputation of the Human King had spread throughout the entire human race. People were talking about the deeds of the Human King all over the continent.
Especially the ma.s.sacre of 100,000 orcs and the rescue of 100 cities of the human race.
In the past few days, they were most worried about the n.o.bles who belonged to the former Empire.
Now was the time for the change of the dynasty. No one knew whether the Human King would purge them or not.
The city lord of Moon City wiped the cold sweat off his head and said, “His Majesty the Human King is a…”
Before he could finish his words, the sound of something breaking through the air suddenly came from the sky.
The city lord’s face immediately turned pale. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted, “The city lord of Moon City greets His Majesty the Human King!”
The surrounding n.o.bles all felt their legs go weak and knelt down with a plop.
“Welcome, Your Majesty!”
In the sky, Su Han heard the voices here. With a slight movement, he landed in the City Lord’s Mansion with a bang.
There was a very eye-catching sign in the courtyard. Su Han had specially asked them to do it so that he would not be unable to find the direction.
“Get up!” Su Han waved his hand.
Only then did the n.o.bles and the city lord stand up in panic.
Those n.o.bles quietly raised their heads and looked at Su Han’s appearance. Instantly, their hearts were shocked.
This was youth! Was this youth their Human King?
No matter how hard they tried, they could not a.s.sociate the Human King who ma.s.sacred 100,000 people with this youth in front of them. In their imagination, the Human King should be a person who was powerful without being angry… He should be an ambitious figure who could make people tremble with just one look.
The city lord of Moon City sneaked a glance at the expressions on the faces of the n.o.bles. If the Human King was not here, he would have wanted to give them a slap on the face.
What kind of occasion was this? What kind of expression was that?!
He quickly went forward and said, “Your Majesty, I am the city lord of Moon City. May I ask what I can do to help Your Majesty?”
Su Han waved his hand and said, “Since you are the city lord here, I have something to ask you.”
The City Lord quickly said, “Your Majesty, Feel Free to say it.”
Just as Su Han was about to say it, he noticed the people around him. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Who are they?”
Those people’s bodies trembled. When they met Su Han’s gaze, they instantly felt cold sweat all over their bodies. They no longer had the slightest doubt about Su Han’s ident.i.ty.
The incomparable domineering and regal aura contained in his eyes was not something that ordinary people could possess. At that time, only those who held high positions and could decide the life and death of hundreds of people with a single hand could cultivate this aura.
With just a glance, they felt that their breathing became somewhat difficult, as if they were about to die.
They were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down.
Seeing this, the City Lord hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, they are the n.o.bles of Moon City. When you sent the news, I was approaching them.”
Su Han understood the situation, turned around, and returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, saying, “Let them in. Since they are locals, you might be able to help me with something.”
The surrounding n.o.bles felt the pressure on their bodies disappear, and only then did they hurriedly stand up.
The Human King actually didn’t have any bad att.i.tude just because they were old n.o.bles. The Human King’s heart was really extremely broad!
At this moment, their hearts were already filled with tears and grat.i.tude, and they had already prostrated themselves to the Human King.
After arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, Su Han sat on the main seat and frowned.
“I came here this time because I have some important matters to deal with. Do you all know about the Night Walker Organization?”
After hearing ‘Night Walker’, the expressions of the few of them changed slightly.
The City Lord hurriedly went forward, he said, “Your Majesty, the Night Walker Organization has always been active in a few cities in the south of us. They are very mysterious. Their members are all a.s.sa.s.sins and bandits. We have specifically targeted them several times, but in the end, they all ended up in vain.”
Su Han nodded. He already understood these things.
A n.o.ble came forward with trepidation and said, “Reporting to your majesty, I know some information about the Night Walkers.”
Su Han said, “Speak.”
The n.o.ble said, “Previously, I heard that at the beginning of the year, the upper echelons of the Night Walker Organization seemed to have stolen something extraordinary from the Elf Empire in the South. In the end, they were hunted down by the Elf Empire, and they also compressed their forces into the border. After that, for a very long period of time, the Night Walker Organization was very cautious, and there were almost no other major movements.”
The City Lord hurriedly said, “Yes, back then, the Elven Empire once sent an envoy to meet with me. They requested the Empire to carry out a full-scale encirclement and suppression of the Night Walker Organization. At the same time, they requested that they be able to send their own people to enter the Empire’s territory to chase after the things they had lost.”
“I promised them that I would carry out an encirclement and suppression of the Night Walker, but I rejected their request to enter the Empire. At that time, the situation in the Empire was extremely dire, so I naturally did not dare to invite a wolf into the house. However, it was precisely because of this that the relationship between the Elven Empire and us deteriorated.”
Su Han nodded and said, “What other news do you have after that?”
He had basically understood that the people who had stolen the Northern Land Bead back then might be the Night Walker Organization.
That n.o.ble said, “Because the Night Walker Organization is very active in my territory. In order to maintain order, I once had some of my people infiltrate their inner circle. Before the ma.s.sacre, I received news that the Night Walker Organization seemed to have received two very mysterious people from the North. After they arrived, the entire Night Walker Organization became even more cautious.”
“Also…” The n.o.ble paused for a moment and said, “Before the ma.s.sacre, the troops at the border had completely retreated. The Southern Elves had once sent troops and stepped into the borders of our human race. A conflict broke out between them and the Night Walker Organization!”
Su Han narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Then what about the Night Walker Organization now?” Su Han asked.
The City Lord stepped forward and said, “After the ma.s.sacre, I heard that the Night Walker Organization suffered great losses. There is relevant news saying that they temporarily left the Empire from the southern border. As for where they went, there is still no more accurate news!”
The surrounding n.o.bles also scrambled to reveal the relevant information that they knew.
However, in summary, there were only a few points.
The first point was that the Night Walker Organization had received two mysterious people from the North.
The second point was that a portion of the Night Walker Organization members had left the human border.
Just as the meeting was about to end, a n.o.ble seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said,
“Your Majesty, my people know a stronghold of the Night Walker Organization. They didn’t seem to follow the higher-ups of the Night Walker Organization down south.”
