Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 852: Reunion with an Old Acquaintance

Marquis Doug was on the verge of collapse when facing the small nobles.

Marquis Barton stood in the Fifth Princess's Airship, watching happily: "It's so satisfying. They were so eager to chase me away, and now they have to take the blame themselves?"

Qing Chen stood beside him without speaking, because only he knew that the blame for Marquis Doug was far more than that.

There was also a very fatal pot.

A pot big enough to kill a Roosevelt Kingdom Marquis without bloodshed.

In the dungeon of Outpost 9.

Six giants were still whispering in a strange language, plotting something.

They occasionally looked at the guard soldiers, secretly listening to the soldiers' conversations, having the giants who understood translate them, and then checking if there was any information that could be used.

However, to their disappointment, the soldiers' conversations were all about "the new commander taking office" and "the previous commander digging a big hole for the new one", and they didn't mention anything about the Giant Dynasty.

There was nothing they could use.

The soldiers were far from the steel gate and refused to get close, even using robots to deliver meals to the giants, giving them no opportunity.

Moreover, Qing Chen had also added more personnel here, doubling the number.

At this time, Francisco, one of the guards, walked in with six cups of coffee. He smiled and said, "Brothers, the coffee is here. The coffee in the cafeteria today is quite good. Since Marquis Barton reorganized the base, even the food has improved. Praise Marquis Barton, cheers."

The other five guards raised their cups together and drank the coffee: "It's a pity that Marquis Barton left just after reorganizing this place. However, I may miss the days when there was more oil and water. Marquis Barton leaving is a good thing, at least everyone doesn't have to live in fear every day."

"Makes sense," Francisco said with a smile.

However, as soon as the five guards drank the coffee, they immediately felt some difficulty breathing, and a sharp pain came from their hearts.

They fell to the ground in shock, looking resentfully at Francisco's boots.

Francisco took a sip of coffee and licked the brown foam on his lips: "You should thank Marquis Barton. If it weren't for him, you would have died when the storm came here."

The giants in the dungeon fell silent, they silently watched Francisco kill his companions, and realized that the chance to escape had finally come!

Francisco looked up at the dungeon, he believed that no one in the base should have time to pay attention here now, everyone was busy dealing with those troublesome small nobles.

He walked to the cell and said, "I'm from the Rebellion, and I'm going to let you out. Listen to me, after you get out of the dungeon, just follow me, there will be "Ai Ai. Yun' to meet us."

The giants' eyes lit up.

Francisco opened the cell and turned to rush out with the giants.

At this moment, Marquis Doug had just calmed down the small nobles. He sent the small nobles out of the office building and patiently said, "First, this matter is indeed not done by me, and second, the Third Division has already signed the acceptance letter, and I am powerless to change this situation, but I will do my best to protect your interests. All those who have suffered losses will go to a relatively safe unit...Whoa!"

Marquis Doug was talking outside the office building when he suddenly froze.

All the small nobles followed Marquis Doug's gaze and looked to the side, then everyone exclaimed, "Whoa!"

They saw six giants, led by Francisco, sneaking out of the dungeon exit, then tiptoeing north, like six giant thieves who had just stolen someone else's watermelon.

Marquis Doug and the small nobles were stunned!

They didn't even react in time. Did the giants break in?

No, it was the giants they had captured who were trying to break out of prison!

Gradually, Francisco ran faster and faster, and the giants ran faster and faster, until they ran to the soft ground at the edge of the outpost base, and a huge crack suddenly appeared on the ground, swallowing them.

Along with Francisco and the six giants, they disappeared into the crack.

Soon, the crack was like a black big mouth, opening and then closing again, as if nothing had happened.

Too easy, this escape was too easy!

Marquis Doug was stunned for a few seconds before shouting, "Quick, someone!"

He never expected that just one hour after he took over as the commander of Outpost 9, the six most important prisoners in this base would run away right in front of him!

They just swaggered away!

Marquis Doug roared at the soldiers: "What's going on? Why didn't the Metal Storm on the city walls react?!"

The soldiers explained: "After the base was attacked, the Metal Storm's ammunition was all used up, and it hasn't been replenished yet."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, why didn't you replenish it earlier?" Marquis Doug roared again.

The soldiers explained: "Sir, the procedure for receiving ammunition from the armory is very complicated, and it must be ordered by the Marquis himself. From the attack to now, everyone has been busy rescuing those Airships and repairing ground cracks in the base, and they haven't had time yet."

In fact, Qing Chen's meticulous orders in the past two days had made the soldiers of the outpost base accustomed to not thinking.

They didn't need to think, Qing Chen would tell them what to do. As for what Qing Chen didn't order, they didn't bother to think about it.

Therefore, Qing Chen hadn't "had time' to tell them to refill the Metal Storm's ammunition, so there was no new ammunition in the Metal Storm.

Marquis Doug was desperate. He knew very well what kind of trial and accountability he would face after this incident.

The key is that this incident may lead to him being charged with treason, which is too serious!

He had thought of appealing that Marquis Barton deliberately left loopholes, but the problem is that he himself rushed to drive Marquis Barton away on the orders of Storm Duke.

According to the normal handover procedure, the handover should take at least a week, including the handover of inventory, soldier roster, and military equipment.

If he hadn't driven Marquis Barton away, all this should have happened during Marquis Barton's tenure.

Now, Marquis Doug couldn't even explain clearly. When he went to the Military Commission to complain about Marquis Barton, Barton could even ask back: "I originally planned to refill the Metal Storm's ammunition immediately. Outpost 9 is in ruins, and I'm already very busy. I've done a perfect job, but you suddenly rushed over to chase me away and said that you can safely hand over the outpost to you. What are your intentions?!"

Doug couldn't explain it at all! At the same time, he couldn't even judge whether Barton did it on purpose, because if he hadn't driven Barton away, this pot should have been borne by Barton himself!

It's over!

Marquis Doug reported the situation in despair. On the Storm, an Airship immediately flew down and took him away, and sent him directly to the Royal Capital.

Such a major mistake, possibly involving the crime of treason, even Storm Duke chose to protect himself, without any intention of protecting Doug.

He just stood in the dark room of the Storm, overlooking the ground outpost through a holographic projection.

And thinking, is this a pit deliberately dug for him by Barton.

You know, Doug is a talented person under him, who has followed him for 16 years, and worked hard to become a Marquis Level 1, but now he suddenly fell because of this inexplicable matter.

This is too inexplicable.

"Barton" Storm Duke muttered in the dark.

Opposite him, Black Widow knelt quietly, her back already torn and bloody.

Fifth Princess sat on her Airship, looking at the recent gazette from the Royal Capital, and raised her head in surprise to look at Qing Chen: "The giants in Outpost 9 have escaped!"

Qing Chen was also shocked: "The giants in Outpost 9 have escaped?!"

Fifth Princess carefully discerned Qing Chen's expression, trying to see if Qing Chen was pretending, but she couldn't see anything. The big steward opposite her was really shocked.

At this moment, Marquis Barton was still in the Virtual Realm, making an appointment with the Home Families to level up, and he didn't know what happened outside.

Fifth Princess dismissed the subordinates in the command room and looked at Qing Chen, frankly saying: "I've investigated you. When you were with Marquis Kennedy, you were also responsible for many things, but your reputation was not good. Many slaves said you were a very perverted person; I also know your conflict with Chixue Squad, so you transferred them to the Third Division; and your management ability wasn't as outstanding as it is now."

In fact, Qing Chen has already been very restrained and hasn't maximized his abilities, but in Fifth Princess's eyes, he is still an invaluable talent.

Fifth Princess said: "I don't mind your private hobbies, and I don't mind your use of Barton's power to avenge private grievances, I can tolerate it."

Qing Chen thought for a moment and explained: "I"

At this time, Fifth Princess interrupted him: "You don't need to think of some lies to deceive me, I don't really care either. In the fragments of fate, you can help Barton become a Duke, which shows that the ability you have shown now is still just the tip of the iceberg. The Duke is an unattainable title, even I can't imagine what kind of achievements can help Barton reach that step, but you did it."

Fifth Princess continued: "Don't hide your talent anymore, help Barton well, you will get your due reward. By the way, Francisco is the one you transferred to the dungeon, right? I won't pursue why you transferred him among the six people, but you transferred him in Barton's name, so I can only help you suppress the suspicion. Remember, don't use this kind of cleverness anymore, and don't think that you are the only smart person in this world. Rebellion has no future, but I can give you a future."

Qing Chen was somewhat startled. He thought that the other party had become suspicious and wanted to kill him, but this Fifth Princess had a great vision. As long as he helped Barton well, she wouldn't mind his suspicious identity.

But the problem is that, although this Fifth Princess is already very daring to imagine, she still hasn't linked his Joker identity together. The other party now thinks that he is a member of the Rebellion and plans to recruit him with courage, means, and interests!

Of course, getting rid of identity suspicion also has Dayu's contribution.

In the past two days, Dayu has killed seven barons in Storm City according to his method, and three times have been extremely secretly captured by surveillance.

Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the kingdom all know that Joker is causing trouble in Storm City and are very troubled. At this time, unless King Roosevelt, this Demi-God level Fate Weaver, opens the God's perspective to see the fate of the kingdom, no one will think that the real Joker is actually 600 kilometers away.

But it costs too much for a Fate Weaver to use God's perspective to investigate something.

Fifth Princess looked at Qing Chen: "Go and get busy. Not only are those transferred experts under your command, but the Firewall Squad will also obey you. Manage the Third Division well for Barton, fate will give you the answer."

Fate will give you the answer, this is the catchphrase of all Fate Weavers.

Qing Chen left the command room, and the Fifth Princess behind him notified another person to come in.

When he was about to go to the hangar to manage those B-level experts, he suddenly saw a young man in a slim-fitting black jacket and a fisherman's hat walking in front of him. The other party looked slightly haggard and lowered his head to pass by him.

Qing Chen recognized this young man, but the other party didn't recognize him. Nine Provinces, He Jinqiu!

No matter how Qing Chen thought about it, he couldn't figure out why this Boss He suddenly appeared on Fifth Princess's Airship!
