Chapter 18: The Collapse of Maple Leaf Town and the Second Combat Experiment
In the castle of Peter's territory, Sunan invited the guild leaders and wealthy businessmen who had fled here to have dinner together.

The servants passed dishes of exquisite thick soup to the dining table one by one, and fragrant steaks and lamb chops, crispy roasted potatoes and corn were also served on porcelain plates.

Several guild leaders and wealthy businessmen have not enjoyed the warm feeling that stability has brought them for a long time.

They quietly looked up at Su Nan who had been silent.

More than five years ago, Su Nan was just a young boy, but now, sitting in the main seat, Su Nan has an outstanding temperament. Although he has not spoken, he gives people an unknown sense of stability.

They didn't know that this was just a small side effect brought about by Su Nangao's mental strength.

Su Nan glanced at these people and found that those who fled here were mainly leaders of three guilds, namely the Fur Guild, the Carpentry Guild, and the Textile Guild. They were also the most powerful commercial forces in Maple Leaf Town.

In addition, among the wealthy businessmen, apart from those middle-class businessmen, there is a wealthy businessman named Pig. He opened a hotel and a warehouse for storing supplies in Maple Leaf Town. Therefore, he is the richest businessman except for the mayor.

The Guild represents the workers of Maple Leaf Town, while Pig represents the merchants of Maple Leaf Town.

Since they have all fled Maple Leaf Town and come to his side, it can be seen how powerful the mayor of Maple Leaf Town, Gus Pasha, was, who was forced to invite him under pressure from the werewolf messenger he sent out. He almost took away half of Maple Leaf Town's assets.

If this kind of person touches any good thing, the value of that good thing will be greatly reduced.

Pige was at the dinner table and saw that Sunan didn't say anything. Everyone was a little embarrassed and didn't want to speak because of various reasons from the past.

So he hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Sunan, I was taken in by your father when I was displaced, so I stayed in Maple Leaf Town to create wealth for your father."

"I didn't expect that now, I would be taken in by you again."

"I was once a believer in the God of Law and a commoner in the Eastern Empire. Later, I converted to the God of Storms. In short, if it weren't for the old baron, I would have died at the hands of those Avar barbarians in the north."

Suddenly, the three guild leaders started talking.

"Lord Sunan, you don't know that Gus Pasha, that guy with a head full of muscles, actually slaughtered vendors in the street."

Sunan raised his eyebrows. "Why?"

The president of the textile guild was a middle-aged man. He explained to Sunan, "You know, although vendors have to clearly mark prices when doing business, there are still some things that may not be very particular about doing business."

"Gus Pasha spent several times more than the price of a product he bought from a vendor because he didn't pay attention to the discount information. After being reminded by a soldier, he was furious and tore the vendor to pieces on the spot. He also ordered his soldiers to massacre half of the merchants on the street."

"When your father was ruling the territory, he had hurt people many times due to his fits of rage, but I didn't expect that after so many years, he hasn't changed at all."

The leader of the Carpenters Guild was a neatly dressed woman wearing men's clothing. Yisi told Sunan, "Besides that, in order to make sure that there were no people who opposed him in Maple Leaf Town, he controlled public opinion and killed anyone who even slightly opposed him."

"Maple Leaf Town is an important commercial town in the surrounding area, but under his control, it has been the most depressed in the past decade. We wanted the mayor to kick him out, but who knew that the cowardly bastard mayor betrayed us. Fortunately, we escaped in the middle of the night."

"Gus Pasha ordered his pursuers to hunt us down, so we fled in a hurry. We originally wanted to go to the territory of another official knight in the territory, [Mel Barragan], but we were worried that Mel Barragan would not accept our surrender, so we ran to you."

"Thank you for taking us in."

President Yis said to Sunan sincerely, "It seems that Maple Leaf Town really needs a true ruler. That weak mayor may only be suitable for doing business, but not for being our protector."

Sunan raised his brows.

Escape in the middle of the night?

The Storm Riders have a physique three times that of an adult who exercises non-stop throughout the year and has peak physical strength. If Gus Pasha really wants to catch them, it would be impossible for these people to escape in the middle of the night.

The only possibility is that Gus Pasha was unaware of their escape.

But that’s not right either.

Gus Pasha has sent people to hunt them down.

That means Gus Pasha let them escape on purpose. Sunan thought about it and felt that this was not surprising.

The character portrait of Gus Pasha is very comprehensive in my opinion. He is a person who can solve problems by force and will never use other means.

He was too lazy to appease the leaders of the Maple Leaf Town Guild whose interests were damaged because of him.

He must want to replace a group of guild leaders, and he deliberately let these people go, which might be some kind of test.

I just don't know whether he is testing me or other official knights in the territory.

I'm afraid the latter is more likely.

Sunan thought about it for a moment, but he was too lazy to think about it any further.

He is just a mortal knight who wants to usurp the territory.

This guy's real target should be himself, or rather, his baron title of the Storm Kingdom.

Sunan began to think about how to test the actual combat capability of the current werewolf troops.

President Yis looked at Sunan and said tentatively: "Lord Sunan, thank you for taking us in. Now that the bandits in the territory have disappeared, should we tell the royal family about the current situation? Don't you still have the main branch of the Peter family in the Holy Empire to the west?"

"You can ask them for help."

"As long as the Peter family can send enough knights to help you, the problems in our territory will be solved."

Su Nan glanced at her and the others, said "hmm" casually, and without saying anything else, left the table and went straight to the attic.

He is now thinking about how to use Maple Leaf Town and turn their troops into testing material for his own werewolf army.

President Is was at a loss. She looked at the other guild leaders and the wealthy businessman Pigg, then looked at the old butler Warwick and said, "Mr. Warwick, what does Lord Sunan mean by this?"

"Shouldn't we at least spend money to recruit some soldiers? If you're worried about money, we have it. It should be easier to recruit and hire soldiers with the money from the baron. Maybe even hire wandering knights."

The old butler Warwick smiled and replied, "Perhaps there is another possibility."

"It is in Peter's Castle right now. There is no shortage of military forces."

"Gus Pasha has never been a problem in the eyes of Lord Sunan."

"Moreover, you turned a blind eye when you should have given the money. Now, you want to please Lord Sunan, but it's too late."

President Yis was stunned, and the other presidents were also stunned and somewhat unable to understand the current situation.

The most cunning man from the Eastern Empire, the old merchant Pig, suddenly had his eyes shining. He sensed some key elements from the old butler's words.

He whispered to the valet beside him, "Take out the five hundred gold coins in our inventory. And arrange a beautiful virgin tonight. I want to present these things to Lord Sunan."

"Although it's a little late, we still have the opportunity to choose!"

……

Sunan returned to the attic and discovered through the wolf pack effect that the werewolf hounds at the border of the manor had smelled a large number of strangers and weapons.

Sunan used the wolf pack effect to give the hound an order. "Go ahead. Bite."

"Let me see your current strength."

"Intelligent brain, use the wolf pack effect to record relevant actual combat data and record it as Wolf Pack File No. 4."
