Snowbird Port Offensive and Defensive Battle, A New Scene in Life

Cong Mang's eyes were bloodshot.

The explosion at the City Lord's Mansion directly caused him to lose the vast majority of his men.

"There are bombs inside the City Lord's Mansion!?"

Cong Mang had brought men here to plunder, not to throw away his life.

The combat losses of the Vegetable Basket Pirate Crew were quite severe, not only suffering a sharp seventy-percent drop in troop strength, but even several headmen and elites had perished.

Even Cong Mang's deputy, the pirate crew's first mate, was among the fallen.

The only thing that gave Cong Mang some relief was that there were still some pirates outside the City Lord's Mansion, and they were all capable hands—among them the Bachelor Battle Team. Their duty, just like Cong Mang's, was to hold off the Snowbird Port City Lord, the City Guard, and other forces, fighting bitterly on the outside.

Because of that, they managed to escape disaster.

The Snowbird Port City Lord's face was illuminated by the fire burning after the explosion, his expression somewhat vacant.

A conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy in this! he roared in his heart after snapping out of it.

He was certain that he had not set any alchemy bombs inside the City Lord's Mansion; that simply wasn't his style!

Neither would the pirates blow themselves up.

Tan Mo? He was consumed by greed, and his attack on the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group was to seek wealth while having signed a contract—why on earth would he blow up the foundation of his allies?

Coupled with the previous coincidence at the Mage Tower, this made the Snowbird Port City Lord conclude that a third party force was definitely operating in secret.

The gold-rank individual who previously appeared in the Mage Tower is very likely that third party force.
