Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 291 [Typhoon Approaching]

Breaking news from the capital: Crown Prince Havensius's press conference will be held tomorrow.

The latest news is that key figures involved in the assassination will be present at the press conference to share their secrets.

It is said that the person was an insider of the Kingdom Security Bureau.

This clearly indicates that this matter is not only related to bandits like Johnny Blackbird, but also to people within the kingdom.

As for who it is...

Actually, everyone knows the truth.

What a dramatic palace intrigue!

However, the other protagonist doesn't seem to be in the capital right now. Is this a one-sided war?

Besides this grand spectacle, the second biggest news in the capital is naturally the approaching typhoon.

Previously, this was merely a meteorologist's speculation, but as the waves on the Sea of ​​Gold grew increasingly high and turbulent, such winds also reached the capital.

People no longer consider typhoons as mere imagination or speculation, but as an imminent reality.

Today's newspapers and radio stations are already warning people to be careful of the typhoon and to avoid going out in the evening and at night.

According to observations, the typhoon will arrive tonight, make landfall, and sweep across the entire capital.

People don't seem to have much fear about typhoons, since no typhoon has ever hit the capital before and they don't know what it's like.

Most people are just curious.

Furthermore, even if the typhoon were to possess great destructive power, this is the capital city, the city of ten thousand cities, and we would absolutely not allow the typhoon to cause any real damage.

Some pubs, restaurants, and even theaters have launched typhoon viewing events and prepared special packages such as typhoon dinners.

In no time, people flocked to it.

Meanwhile, while the whole city was immersed in the novelty and excitement of the impending typhoon, some people were quietly moving towards the western district and gathering there.

These people are, of course, believers of the Church of the Sea God.

Their attitude towards typhoons is much more reverent.

They believed it was a sacred wind, the will of God.

Especially when the precursors of a typhoon keep sweeping through the streets and alleys of the capital, they will kneel down in the shadows in devout prayer.

It is the hand of God that is caressing them.

Feeling this caress, they gradually made their way to the West District.

This movement was naturally detected by the Royal Guard.

As the captain of the Fifth Division of the Kingdom's Security Bureau, after returning to headquarters, Bauer managed to snatch a group of people from the Third Division after a series of difficult struggles. These people were tasked with monitoring the people of the Sea God Church, and at the same time, he was prepared to launch a crackdown immediately should anything happen.

But this obviously caused conflict with the three places.

Especially Trafford.

Trafford already had a presence in both the West and South districts.

He is now certain that the person is in the South District, Martino family territory, but he also needs to prevent the person from escaping and entering the West District.

By deploying defenses on both sides, a complete defensive line can be formed.

Now, Bauer's sudden involvement has completely disrupted his plans.

In particular, not only did Bauer abduct many of his men, but he also brought a large number of believers from the Church of the Sea God.

This undoubtedly complicates the situation in the West District.

"What exactly happened? Why are so many people in the West District?"

Trafford was getting irritable; too many things had happened recently that were beyond his control.

Just when he had finally caught a clue and was about to capture the fugitive, this happened.

"It must have been caused by the typhoon, after all, the sea is their faith."

Trevor, however, felt nothing about it; he wasn't agitated at all, in fact, he was quite pleased. Because things were progressing exactly the way he needed to.

He had always coveted the southern district, and now, the other party had openly appeared within the Martino family's sphere of influence.

He doesn't even need to search anymore; he can just attack directly.

Moreover, this time, he doesn't need to send too many people; he also has the help of the Kingdom Protection Bureau and the Old World immigrants.

That's right, this time, former allies will also be participating. That old man Shiwen has finally agreed to come out of his little Ibia.

Of course, they weren't working for nothing; they wanted half of the southern district.

Trevor agreed.

He doesn't have that many men. Even if he forcibly takes them over, if he loses too many men, Xi Wen will take the opportunity to erode his forces. It's better to bring them along, which will also deplete their manpower.

As for who will own the South District in the future, that's still hard to say.

"You're familiar with the West District, have your people keep an eye on things, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Trafford doesn't care about anything else right now; all he cares about is taking down the Martino family as soon as possible, then finding West, Johnny Blackbird, and that Earl Jacquard.

If he hands these people over, his credit will be secured, and he can return to the Royal Guard whenever he wants.

When should we make our move tonight?

Trevor didn't say anything about Trafford's instructions. He had been running the West End for many years, and it wasn't something outsiders could easily shake.

Those members of the Church of Poseidon are nothing to fear; his eyes are only on the Martino family.

Now, the entire territory where the Martino family resides is completely surrounded, although from the outside it seems that nothing has happened.

However, if anyone comes out of that area now, no matter which direction or angle they come from, they will be immediately stopped and even killed.

Undercurrents are already surging rapidly.

Just like the typhoon that's about to hit tonight.

"Just when the typhoon was coming."

Trafford said slowly.

Despite his overwhelming advantage and the large number of players he had assembled for the attack, Trafford still wanted to find a good opportunity.

He will never forget his defeat in the South District.

Last time, it was precisely because we placed too much faith in the power of karst that everything began to fail.

If he had been careful enough that time, he wouldn't be in this predicament now.

"Won't the wind be too strong?"

As Trevor said this, he lowered the brim of his hat as if the wind was already blowing.

same moment.

Inside the sanctuary.

Vasini was staring out through the stained-glass window.

Outside, all was calm, but he already knew that disaster was imminent.

It wasn't just reports from subordinates, but also revelations from the divine.

God told him that a huge storm would strike tonight, and if it failed, everyone would die.

However, if he can hold out until the power of God descends, then he will have everything.

Vasini always believed in God, so his heart remained unwavering; he was simply waiting for the storm to come.

"Valenzo, go see your daughter again."

This is the final farewell.
