The First Order Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184 - You should be glad

This was not Wang Wenyan’s first time in the Kingdom of Sorcerers. The last time he was here was when Wang Shengzhi rescued Ren Xiaosu by the river.

At that time, he had been traveling with Wang Shengzhi. When they arrived at the valley, he crossed the Northwest’s borders alone and continued advancing towards the Kingdom of Sorcerers.

People like Wang Shengzhi and Qing Zhen had always preferred to take a prospective view of things.

Therefore, before the Central Plains’ Wang Consortium established trade relations with the Northwest, Wang Shengzhi had to be prepared and figure out how to keep their northwestern neighbor in check.

Just as P5092 had said, the Northwest’s greatest danger right now was facing a pincer attack by the Magi and the Wang Consortium.

Regardless of the Kingdom of Sorcerers’ strength, Fortress 178 was not capable of fighting on two fronts. Therefore, this problem had to be resolved.

Of course, Wang Shengzhi would have thought of this as well. Moreover, the Qing Consortium’s consolidation of the valley bandits had also given him some inspiration. In the end, the Wang Consortium formulated a new strategy.

If Zhang Jinglin were willing to take over the Central Plains and complete the unification of the entire Alliance of Strongholds, there would be no need for this step.

But if Zhang Jinglin were unwilling, the war between the Wang Consortium and the Northwest would be unavoidable.

Wang Wenyan had come to the Kingdom of Sorcerers again with the mission to form a mutually beneficial relationship with the House of Berkeley. Only by sending weapons here to help with the unification of the Kingdom of Sorcerers could it become a threat to Fortress 178 once more.

Meanwhile, it was obvious the Berkeley family’s patriarch was only making use of the Wang Consortium. He might already be harboring murderous intent for the Wang Consortium at this moment.

Wang Wenyan was not bothered by this. With his power to turn into black mist, no one could kill him unless Wang Yun were present. This was the reason Wang Wenyan was still secretly active in diplomacy.

However, when Wang Wenyan heard about the train that appeared out of nowhere and the armor that could be instantly activated, he immediately wanted to turn around and return to the Central Plains.

He was only here to deliver weapons, not to get killed!

“Your Excellency,” Wang Yun said in a low voice, “I have something else I need to attend to. Why don’t we meet again another time?”

The Berkeley family’s patriarch’s face stiffened. He was not dumb, so he immediately asked, “Why does Mr. Wang want to return to the Central Plains the moment I mentioned this person who can control a train? Who is he exactly? I’m sure you know, Mr. Wang, so please enlighten me.”

Wang Wenyan hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and said, “Lord Michel, why don’t you tell me what he’s done in the Kingdom of Sorcerers first?”

The Berkeley family’s patriarch related to him the incidents in Winston City, such as the massacre at Winston Manor, the two steam locomotives that brought down the buildings, and how strong the other party was.

Wang Wenyan said with a sigh, “It’s indeed him. Your Kingdom of Sorcerers has been dealing with Fortress 178 for more than a 100 years. The person who conducted a killing spree in Winston City is the next commander of Fortress 178.”

The Berkeley family’s patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly. “Oh, I see. I just didn’t expect the Central Plains to have changed so much. There’s actually powers that transcend the mundane now.”

He looked at Wang Wenyan and said with a smile, “Mr. Wang, why haven’t you mentioned this to me before?”

Wang Wenyan replied with a smile, “Such incidents have only occurred in recent years, so it wasn’t worth mentioning.”

The emergence of superhumans was definitely worth mentioning. After all, the strength of some superhumans these days was extremely terrifying. Take Ren Xiaosu for example. He could even kill the leaders of the consortiums with such ease, so how could that not be worth a mention?

But the Kingdom of Sorcerers was only a tool to the Wang Consortium. No matter how stupid Wang Shengzhi, Wang Wenyan, and the rest of the Wang Consortium were, they would only provide them with weapons. They would definitely not sell out the Central Plains.

Once Fortress 178 was taken care of, the Wang Consortium would, sooner or later, deploy their troops to the Kingdom of Sorcerers to exterminate this deep-seated problem.

Wang Wenyan and the Berkeley family’s patriarch smiled at each other tacitly. The Berkeley family’s patriarch suddenly said, “By the way, Mr. Wang, I have another question. Have you ever heard of anyone with the power to slap people’s faces through a Shadow Door?”

“Huh?” Wang Wenyan was stunned for a moment before saying, “Lord Michel, based on the description you gave, that’s still the future commander of Fortress 178….”

The Wang Consortium had already identified Ren Xiaosu as a key figure to watch. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu had been observed in battle in the various strongholds on so many occasions that the Shadow Door was no longer a secret.

The Berkeley family’s patriarch was livid. In that case, the farce at Vaduz Cathedral and the incident this morning were all orchestrated by this person. Was he deliberately targeting the House of Berkeley?

The Berkeley family’s patriarch frowned and said, “Mr. Wang, do you know why that person is always going against our House of Berkeley?”

Wang Wenyan thought for a moment and said, “Based on my understanding of him, I think he might have nothing better to do.”

The Berkeley family’s patriarch was speechless. How could there be someone so bored in this world?!

But what Wang Wenyan could not figure out was why Ren Xiaosu did not directly stab the Berkeley family’s patriarch to death. Since he could activate the Shadow Door and slap his face, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to stab him in the back, right?

A moment later, Wang Wenyan, who was pondering with his head down, suddenly looked up. He realized Ren Xiaosu intended to sit back and watch the civil war in the Kingdom of Sorcerers take place before coming out to clean up the mess.

If the Berkeley family’s patriarch died right at the start, the civil war would not happen.

A person like Wang Wenyan was extremely quick-witted. Otherwise, he would not be able to single-handedly take charge of the Wang Consortium’s fieldwork.

“Lord Michel,” Wang Wenyan said in an unusually solemn tone, “I personally think that even though a civil war is imminent, I hope you can understand one thing. Your eventual opponent is definitely not the House of Tudor and the House of Norman. It’s the future commander of Fortress 178.”

The Berkeley family’s patriarch said with a frown, “Is Mr. Wang so afraid of him?”

“I’m not only afraid of him.” Wang Wenyan shook his head and said, “Let me put it this way. The moment I heard he had come to the Kingdom of Sorcerers, my first reaction was to run away! It’s not that I’m a coward, Lord Michel, but if you knew what he did in the Central Plains, you’d be glad that your Vaduz City and Winston City are still standing on these lands.”

“That person actually has such a reputation in the Central Plains?” the Berkeley family’s patriarch asked calmly.

Wang Wenyan sighed, “If you call that a reputation, I guess you’re right.”

“What’s his name? Mr. Wang, can you provide me with a portrait of him so I can issue an arrest warrant?” the Berkeley family’s patriarch asked.

“His name is Ren Xiaosu. I can provide you with a portrait, but I sincerely suggest that the House of Berkeley don’t go after him.” Wang Wenyan said, “What you guys should do now is think of how to make the Houses of Norman and Tudor go after him instead.”

“Wait, Ren Xiaosu?” A paladin next to the Berkeley family’s patriarch wondered, “Isn’t that the name of Melgor’s steward?”
