Garden Mansion, the Inner City of King's City, Kingdom of Graycastle
Since Roland Wimbledon's surprise attack on the palace which successfully destroyed the Hall of the Sky Doreatly ireat respect, and this intelligence organization was finally established
Along with several core personnel, Theo could also affect Skeleton Fingers' decisions as a result of his contributions over the past six e of the activities of the other Rats' organizations, since he had informants in both the patrol teaed information only for the money, and they did not care at all who they worked for However, his gold royals still could not buy his way into the circle of the upper nobles, who cared h his connections with the heads of the Rats, who had close relationshi+ps with the great nobles, he et some less important information now and then
For exa a platoon of 500 men to block the Redwater River?” Theo tapped on the ar to do that?”
”Yes,” Rockhill answered, ”half of his platoon will be Blood Sail Rats That's what the boss said hiht each other over it, and several of theot injured or killed”
”Indeed, it's profitable,” Clohistled and said ”Just think about it What will they block in the river? Thethe king's ban? Confiscating the cargo and i a fine! Who can do a better blackood at it?”
”Half of theuards,” said Hill Fawkes cal, there were four hawk-headed shi+ps in the harbor”
Theo could not help but frown The hawk-headed shi+ps were high-speed, inland river warshi+ps that had slender hulls, with sails and oars, as well as embolons below the water and iron hooks on both sides Once they caught up with their target, they could be tightly hooked together to enable the soldiers on one shi+p to easily ju it difficult for merchant shi+ps to escape from them
”Based on all the inforoing to send a fleet of four warshi+ps carrying uards, to block the Redwater River” He sighed inwardly, thinking that it was really bad news
They had got wind of Timothy's intention to block the Redwater River trade route before the Months of Demons, but ht he would only set a blockade in the canal of King's City nobody believed that he would dare to set a blockade between the Western and Central Region to declare an econoer the lords of Silver City and Redwater City, ould never allow this ban to cost thereat economic loss
However, noith four warshi+ps that could easily block merchant shi+ps anywhere they wanted, Timothy's situation was different, as the other lords could not coh this blockade would turn the lords against hi could shake his resolve to defeat Roland
Theo looked at Hill, who nodded at hihts, ”Timothy may not set a fixed blockade on the Redwater River He'll just attack any caravan he spots, and his troops will act as pirates on water and bandits on land An eneht so, he'll probably succeed in cutting off the Western Region's supplies”
”We have to report this to His Highness as soon as possible,” Theo said in a deep voice
