Chapter 380: Local Bosses
Chapter 380: Local Bosses
After chatting for a while, the people in the square began to complain because everyone was standing the whole time.
Although it was already night and there were no scorching suns in the sky, they were already beginning to feel tired from their always pampered life.
Of course, the most important reason is that this square is located in front of the main council hall of the Tamia Kingdom. The floor here is made of magic stones that have the effect of prohibiting magic. If there is no special reaction, the magic stones cannot use any magic.
"Hey!" The fair-skinned man who had dreamed of marrying the female general was the first to lose patience and immediately shouted to the guards beside him, "Why hasn't General Campbell arrived yet?"
The guard was startled by the man's roar. Although he had some connections, they were still far inferior to those of the fair-skinned man. If he offended the dozen gang members in the square, he might lose his job in a few days.
"Lord McGee, General Campbell only told us to stay here and watch over you. We don't know anything else..." The guard said respectfully. His humble attitude was so as not to anger the fair-skinned man in front of him, even though he could knock him out with just one punch.
The guard had worked in Wangcheng District for more than ten years. He knew the identities and backgrounds of all the gang members present. For example, the fair-skinned man in front of him who had indulged in excessive sexual activities was the famous brothel owner in Tamia.
Not to say 100%, but at least the vast majority of brothels in Tamia are McGee's business. His uncle is the distinguished Earl of Tamia, and the actual controller of the brothel business is also this earl.
All the gang members present were related to the princes and nobles of Tamia, even the guard himself, but his backer was not a noble of high rank, so he was just a small guard.
Nepotism is a historical tradition of Tamia, and it is also the price that the nobles often pay for coups.
Before coming to this square, McGee was still lying on a woman's belly working on her. However, after standing for less than an hour, his legs felt weak, and magic could not be used here.
The soreness in his legs made McGee extremely irritated. Originally, he had some interest in Campbell's female general, but now he was only left with resentment.
"Huh, is this the etiquette of the Campbell family? Let the guests wait here like this. Do you really think we are servants who can come and go at will?"
McGee's complaints resonated with several gang members. Nearly an hour of standing and waiting almost wore out their last bit of fear and patience.
Unlike McGee, most of the gang members were still waiting patiently with expressionless faces. They obviously knew more information than McGee, and although they were a little unhappy, they were enduring it.
After more than ten minutes, McGee finally couldn't bear it anymore. He was a local emperor in Tamia's territory and had never suffered such humiliation. Even if the new king was trying to usurp the throne, he had to give him and his uncle some face.
But McGee was not stupid. Having lived for more than 30 years, he began to instigate other gang members. After all, if he was the only one who took the lead, he would most likely be in trouble.
In Tamia, McGee's experience from childhood to adulthood taught him an important truth, that is, the law does not punish the masses. Campbell's female general may use herself as a warning to others, but she will never kill more people.
McGee believes the Campbells will need their local pythons to help manage Tamia.
Soon, a small number of young and energetic gang members were instigated by McGee, and even a few seemingly calm middle-aged men started to make trouble.
Compared with McKee's idea of not blaming everyone, those shrewd middle-aged men wanted to test the bottom line of the female general, or at least raise their own posture.
If I just sit there and let General Campbell leave me alone, I'm afraid she would treat me like a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied, and my life would be difficult in the future.
Just like that, the gang members with ulterior motives started to make trouble, and the guards who were responsible for maintaining order could only persuade them with kind words. They did not dare to take action against these people unless they did not want to continue to stay in Tamia.
Those gang members who were usually calm and composed began to "revolt" after being instigated by McGee with a few words, and McGee naively thought that it was because of his powerful rhetoric that he caused the most trouble.
After a while of commotion, Elsa still didn't come out. At this time, nearly three hours had passed since these dozens of gang members arrived at the square, and most of them began to complain.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, McGee immediately shouted, "Let Campbell's female general come out to see us immediately, otherwise we will go back home immediately. It won't be so easy to see us next time..."
Elsa was still discussing military reform with Bai Hao with great interest, when suddenly McGee's roar from outside the hall came in, causing Elsa to frown.
Immediately afterwards, Elsa heard a lot of obscene words, and immediately signaled Colin, who was on standby, to go out and check out the situation. Bai Hao also heard the noise outside the hall, and was curious about who was so desperate.
Soon, Colin came in, saluted Elsa and began to report the situation. Bai Hao shook his head the more he listened, sighing to himself that the Tamia gang members outside were doomed.
Bai Hao knew very well what kind of person his mother was. She had completely different personalities when she was managing internal affairs in Campbell Territory and when she was on the march to fight. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she had a dual personality.
I still remember that Cullennan once told Bai Hao when they were drinking tea together on a quiet afternoon that Elsa was a natural soldier. The Campbell Army she led was never threatened by anyone. There was only conquest and no compromise.
Sure enough, Elsa's originally gentle expression turned cold in an instant, and the murderous intent overflowing from her eyes made Bai Hao feel a little scared. This was a sign of something that could only be developed from years of fighting on the battlefield.
"Kill the one who makes trouble, has foul language, and says he wants to marry me." Elsa said in a calm tone as if she was talking about something trivial.
"Only kill the leaders?"
"No," Aisha glanced at the thick black clouds outside the palace and shook her head. "Kill them all, leaving only those who can remain calm. Then let them redistribute the territory among themselves, but I don't want to hear any more quarrels."
"As ordered!"
Colin responded respectfully, then slowly left the hall. Soon, Bai Hao could no longer hear the noise outside the hall, and instead there was the unique quietness at night.
Bai Hao looked at Aisha who looked calm and couldn't help but ask, "Will mother go to meet the remaining local gang members later?"
"Haha, what are you meeting? It's a waste of our precious time together as mother and son..." Aisha smiled softly at Bai Hao, then put down her crossed legs and said, "Come and lie on my thighs. I'll clean your ears for you!"
Bai Hao nodded when he heard that, then obediently lay on his mother's lap. In just a moment, Elsa's body fragrance filled Bai Hao's nostrils through the thin armor.
This is the scent Bai Hao has smelled since he was a child, and it makes him feel most at ease.
