Chapter 642-Death of Di Da

In the morning, Ouyang Shuo opened his eyes.
His wounds were carefully bandaged; even the Tianmo Spear was cleaned and placed by his side. As a result of the night's rest, his injuries had mostly healed.
Ouyang Shuo raised his head and looked around.
The wooden room was rather narrow, and the floor was covered with items. Despite this, the items were placed in an orderly matter. A bed and a table were the two most prominent items in the room; evidently, the owner was not that well off.
The linen blanket emitted a nice scent.
Ouyang Shuo thought back to yesterday and was started to recall the series of events. As he thought back to the assassination attempt, he could not help but frown. Thinking clearly, this matter was extremely serious.
Firstly, the route that he took should have been secret. Weirdly, the black clothed men were waiting in ambush, and they even considered the alleys.
The only explanation was that his path was exposed.
Apart from his Personal Guards, only the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group would know. However, just thinking about that, things became weirder and weirder.
Secondly, the strength of the black clothed men had far exceeded his expectations. Although they were all elites, they were also good at assassination. Under the cover of such a dark sky and a geographical knowledge advantage, they caused more damage than elite troops.
Apart from normal bows, they even carried hidden weapons. Obviously, the enemy had researched his strength and knew that he possessed strong martial arts skills.
As a result, Ouyang Shuo fell to a disadvantage.
This assassination scheme did not seem like something that was just thought off; it was more like a carefully planned scheme. With Di Da's skill, did he truly have the ability to set this up in such a short time?
Ouyang Shuo doubted it.
Most importantly, Di Da lacked the motive to take such extreme action.
As the head of a guild, Ouyang Shuo did not believe that Di Da was truly stupid. Di Da definitely knew that regardless of whether the assassination attempt succeeded, the Fly Mercenary Group could not handle the aftermath.
Furthermore, Farrah had already made things clear. Would he drag his entire mercenary group down into the abyss for just face? Anyone with a brain would not do such a crazy thing.
Last night, Ouyang Shuo felt certain that Di Da was behind this but now it did not seem like the case. On the contrary, Ouyang Shuo believed that the spy in the alliance army started this.
Only that spy who had not showed themselves would have the motive to get rid of Ouyang Shuo.
Furthermore, Di Da had angered Ouyang Shuo, and his rash personality made him the best person to push the blame onto. If the person was Ouyang Shuo, he would also grab this chance.
However, Ouyang Shuo did not understand the reveal of his route. Was the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group involved in this matter? Thinking about it, it did not seem likely.
The entire matter became more and more muffled and confusing.
This was the worst situation that Ouyang Shuo had gotten in. Luckily, his luck stat did not cheat him once more, and he met a lucky star. If not, the following journey would not involve him any longer.
Creak!
The door was opened from the outside and a young lady with a great body entered. She held a bowl of porridge in her hands; she was Karina, the bar lady that had served him at the inn.
"You're awake!" Karina was delighted.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, standing up and bowing, "Thank you, miss, for saving me!"
"Drink the porridge first!" Karina laughed and avoided the topic
It was a complete coincidence. The place where Ouyang Shuo collapsed from his injuries was only 200 meters away from where Karina lived. The inn had naturally closed late, which was why Karina had met him.
The moment she saw him, she was shocked but happy.
This mysterious man possessed an indescribable charm that attracted her. That night, she guarded by his side and slowly fell asleep.
Ouyang Shuo's manly scent attracted this gypsy lady. However, their statuses were significantly different. Just thinking about his, Karina could not help but feel a pain in her heart.
It's just a dream in the end! Karina warned herself, The story of Cinderella and her prince is only a fairytale.
Although the porridge was the most common banana porridge in Somalia, Ouyang Shuo felt that it was exceedingly tasty. He was also rather ravenous, so he finished it up in a jiffy.
"Slow down; there's still some more in the kitchen." Karina was amused.
However, Ouyang Shuo grabbed the Tianmo Spear by the bed, and he once again cupped his fist and said, "I have to go. Your saving grace is something that I'll never be able to repay. As he spoke, he took out a wooden box and placed it on the bed, "This is just a small thank you gift, please do not reject it."
"You!" Karina wanted to say something but stopped.
Ouyang Shuo sighed and left. He obviously saw through her love for him, but it was impossible, so why would he leave any false hopes for her?
"Can you tell me your name?" Karina chased after him.
When Ouyang Shuo heard this request, he turned around and said, "Qiyue Wuyi!"
Karina looked at the slowly disappearing figure in shock. When she returned and opened the wooden box, she could not help but covered her mouth to dampen her screams. In the box, she found one thousand gold and a book.
This book was a secret manual that Ouyang Shuo had especially chosen for her.
As they say, the man is not at fault, but him having a treasure is.
Ouyang Shuo naturally did not hope for her to get into trouble because of a sum of money. With a secret manual, she would have the ability to protect herself and a chance to completely change her destiny.
As they say, rather than giving someone a fish, why not teach them how to fish?
"Qiyue Wuyi!" Karina carved this name into her heart.
Alliance base.
The chaos at night had terrified everyone.
The Lord had not returned, and his life or death remained unknown. The furious Divine Martial Guards brought 10 thousand navy soldiers and surrounded the entire camp. The thousands of members of the Fly Mercenary Group were all taken down by the Divine Martial Guards.
Even the calm and gentle Zheng He was enraged at this time, questioning Farrah, "Guild Leader Farrah, you have to answer to us. If not, we will act ourselves."
"I've already said it was not me, what else can I say?"
Di Da, who had returned drunk when he heard the news, was also furious.
"You still trying to deny it? In Somalia, apart from you, who else hates my Lord?" Zheng He understood the entire situation from start to end.
"Do you have proof?" Di Da retorted.
"When Shanhai City does things, we do not need proof." Zheng He's attitude was resolute.
"You!" Di Da was furious; he could not control his rage any longer, "I already said it was not me. So, what if it was! You're so arrogant and deserve it."
"...."
Di Da's words had completely ignited the rage of the Shanhai City Army.
"Kill him, take revenge for the Lord!"
The furious soldiers could not hide their killing intent.
"Sorry, Guild Leader Farrah." Zheng He's expressions turned cold as he turned around, "Execute him!"
"Yes, admiral!"
Four Divine Martial Guards walked up and took Di Da down, holding a Tang Blade to his neck.
"What are you all doing?" Di Da had been drunk for the entire night; he was still was not clear-headed, so how would he be a match for them? Struggling was just useless.
Weirdly, during the entire process, none of the members of the alliance army helped out; they just looked on.
When Di Da saw the situation, he felt that things were unusual, so he looked at Farrah with unease, "I’m innocent, Farrah. As a commander, are you allowing them to do as they wish in our base? Do you not have any spirit?"
His words caused a commotion in the alliance army.
Farrah knew that, and he had no choice but to make things clear, "Di Da it is not that I'm not helping you, but you went too far. You actually sent men to kill our allies. If I help you, how would others look at us? How would they look at Somalia?"
"I'm innocent!" Di Da cried out.
Farrah shook his head, unwilling to waste his breath; he turned to Zheng He, "General, go ahead. I only hope that this matter would not affect our cooperation."
"Since the Lord wanted this cooperation, we will follow through with it." Farrah had given Shanhai City enough face, so Zheng He obviously had no need to cause problems.
"Execute!" Zheng He ordered.
"Kill!"
All of a sudden, a thousand heads fell to the ground. Including Guild Leader Di Da, the rest of the members of the Fly Mercenary Guild had died; no one survived.
Looking at this bloody scene, the base fell into total silence.
Farrah's facial muscles could not help but twitch.
The alliance army soldiers all had weird expressions. Some respected them, some were unhappy, and some were angry. Shanhai City's actions were like a slap to their face. However, they did not dare to take any action.
Without mentioning the fact that they needed help for the pirate clearing operation, just the cannons that the squadron had placed at the port were enough to raise fear in their hearts.
They did not doubt the fact that the Shanhai City forces had the strength to destroy the port. Even starting a full-scale country war was possible. The fate of Singapore was a clear sign of the things that could happen.
A strong army was the best ticket and protection anywhere. As a result, Ouyang Shuo had not expected that someone would try to assassinate him.
"Goodbye!"
After killing the perpetrators, Zheng He led his troops and left, ready to continue their search for the Lord. At the same time, they left some space to allow for Farrah to deal with matters.
……
The dust only settled when Ouyang Shuo appeared at the port.
Things were just so weird.
The Lord was fine, so the Shanhai City Army naturally cheered. When the alliance army heard the news, they were filled with various emotions. No matter how they saw it, they felt that the members of the Fly Mercenary Guild were wronged.
As expected of Farrah, he brought a bunch of gifts over to apologize. He did not even mention the execution of the Fly Mercenary Guild members.
The two sides once again walked onto the path of close cooperation.
