After leaving, Folinic found Kanna.
"When I got this list and plan just now, I had an idea. I asked Anto about it, and she also agreed, so I came to you. What do you think if we do this?"
Folinic had no doubt that Kanna could eliminate all these people without a trace in one night using this list. However, she believed that simply eliminating these people would not benefit Rhodes Island.
Because Tatyana knew these people, even if Wolumonde's public order was chaotic at the moment, the death of so many people at once would inevitably attract the attention of the authorities.
As long as Captain Sefirin investigated a little, he would know that these people had recently clashed with Rhodes Island, and then Rhodes Island would inevitably be a prime suspect.
At a time when official assistance was needed to better aid the Infected in Wolumonde, being labeled as murderers by the authorities would undoubtedly be troublesome and would cause the authorities to lose trust in their side.
So, Folinic's idea was to turn the tables. Since Captain Sefirin was involved in this play, they would bring him along to finish the act, and then present the evidence they had.
This way, Rhodes Island would be in the vulnerable position of outsiders being bullied by the locals. Then, their group would generously reveal the purpose of their visit. At this time, there were many Infected and newly Infected in Wolumonde, and in order to receive treatment as soon as possible, they would inevitably stand up for Rhodes Island.
This way, they would have the advantage in both form and momentum. The merchant representative would have no way to twist facts in broad daylight, and their side would easily achieve victory.
Catching a group of opportunists trying to stir up trouble after the Catastrophe would also be a considerable achievement for Sephyrin.
Then, their group could also use this opportunity to obtain more assistance from Wolumonde's officials.
Afterward, Rope would monitor these people, and if they were found still attempting to plot against Rhodes Island, it wouldn't be too late for Kanna to act preemptively and eliminate them.
The most crucial point was that because Rhodes Island was the victor in the previous incident, there was no need to retaliate against these losers. Even if these people died, the suspicion on their group would be greatly reduced.
This series of convoluted thoughts almost made Kanna dizzy, but she still understood Folinic's meaning.
"So you mean we should act discreetly, wait for the opportune moment, then lure the snake out of its hole to catch it in a jar, and finally, by 'throwing a brick to attract jade,' we crush the opponent while also giving that captain a meritorious deed, right?"
"Although I think your set of Yan idioms seems to have a few minor issues, the overall idea should be correct. I didn't expect Miss Folinic to not only have exquisite medical skills but also be quite adept at planning. I think this plan has good feasibility. Anyway, for us, no matter how we play, we won't lose out, so why not play it to the fullest?
If that Captain of the Guard truly doesn't know what's good for him, we can just fight our way out. We don't have to establish a medical zone in Wolumonde; I see there are quite a few villages around. We can retreat to the villages then. With Wolumonde's meager military strength, even if we act openly, they wouldn't dare to move.
At that point, we could even say that because we received unfair treatment in Wolumonde, we will only treat people outside the city. Then, without us lifting a finger, the Infected in Wolumonde City will take care of those guys."
On the side, she expressed approval for Folinic's plan and pointed out that her side had an absolute advantage in both morality and military strength.
Coupled with these several large carts of medical supplies, which Wolumonde currently needed most, her side originally held absolute initiative, able to advance or retreat as needed.
After making the decision, the group pulled out their plans again to study how to act the next day… Early the next morning, she took the lead to open the gate and found that, just as the unlucky fellow locked in the room smelling feces had said, to prevent their group from leaving that morning, these people had diligently blocked the entrance of the inn since early dawn.
"Didn't you say you left a scout? Why didn't we see him this morning?" When these people arrived at the inn entrance in the early morning, they found that the Rhodes Island group had not left, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the rich merchant had said he left someone to guard here, but they didn't see anyone.
"It doesn't matter. He probably couldn't hold on and went back to sleep. It's good that that idiot didn't do his job well; he won't get his share, and we can split an extra ten percent." At this moment, the rich merchant felt that the person not being there meant less property would be divided, which was a good thing for him.
The others thought it made sense and ignored the person's sudden disappearance.
Upon seeing the inn gate open, these people surrounded it, blocking the entrance completely.
Just as the crowd was getting restless and about to rush into the inn, a greatsword, almost as wide as a door panel, descended from the sky, smashing into the gate's position, instantly scaring away those hot-headed individuals who were preparing for a free-for-all.
Not far away, Sephyrin was leading his men from the direction of City Hall, his face full of rage.
All the way, he cursed these merchants in his heart, who valued money over life. Wolumonde had just escaped the Catastrophe, and everything was in ruins waiting to be rebuilt, yet these merchants, with some nerve disconnected, chose this time to stir up trouble.
When he arrived not far from the inn, he saw a crowd surrounding the entrance, and a massive greatsword was stuck upright at the inn's main gate. Because of the greatsword's intimidating presence, these people only dared to shout from outside, not daring to step inside.
At this moment, Kanna sat on a second-floor window, coldly watching the farce of these clowns below. The others were also fully armed, guarding the stairwell entrance.
This way, even if the opposing side, relying on their numbers, managed to push past her, their group could still rely on the stairwell to unleash a barrage of attacks on the invaders.
"What's going on? Don't you know what the situation is right now! Why the hell are you causing trouble at this time? Do you all want to go to prison to reflect!" Sephyrin, his eyes red, walked to the door, waving his staff.
Since the Catastrophe arrived until now, he hadn't rested. To prevent the disaster in the city from recurring after the Catastrophe, his nerves had been highly strung. As a result, the Catastrophe didn't recur, but these townspeople caused him a bunch of trouble.
"Captain Sephyrin, you've come just in time! I want to report these people, these people called Rhodes Island!" Seeing Sephyrin arrive, the rich merchant, standing behind the crowd, not only wasn't afraid but rushed to his side as if he had found a backer.
Then, with a wronged expression, he indignantly accused the people of Rhodes Island.
