Chapter 270
Darkness still enveloped the castle of Raging Fire, but the castle was glowing gloomily in the night like a firefly.
The news regarding the death of the castellan was spreading fast in the castle. From the slaveholders to Skywalkers, from Skywalkers to slaves, men, women, everyone was anxiously waiting in the dark and no one dared to sleep.
Those spies of the castle of Snowstorm were very excited. The power struggle in the castle of Raging Fire and the death of Lei Ming was huge news to them. They couldn’t even imagine what kind of prize they would receive.
However, they still needed to stay hidden. The lockdown hadn’t been lifted yet, the new person who was in charge of the castle at the moment might also carry out a search during the night, so they needed to be extra careful.
At the moment, in the palace of the castle of Raging Fire, many slaveholders were gathered in the hall of the palace waiting to meet Chamberlain and the fire messenger. Everyone was whispering nervously to each other in small groups.
Those who used to have a good relationship with Lei Ming were all planning how to give excuses to the fire messenger and to tell him that they had nothing to do with whatever Lei Ming was doing.
On the other hand, the slaveholders who were not on good terms with Lei Ming all secretly happy about what happened to Lei Ming.
The happiest person would be Cao Zhengyi, who was originally the lowest-ranking slaveholder amongst them.
“Huh!? You don’t want it?! You don’t want to work for the fire messenger!?” Chu Yunsheng’s face dropped.
“No… no… It is just that it happened too sudden… I don’t know if I am capable of doing it….” Cao Zhengyi couldn’t organize his thoughts properly, he was murmuring and thinking what to say at the same time.
“What do you guys think!” Chu Yunsheng looked at the 7 high-level slaveholders and said coldly.
Everyone was looking at each other in confusion. Of course, no one would think Cao Zhengyi was capable of doing it. The most suitable candidate should be the second General – Luo Hengshen. However, all of them still remembered what the fire messenger said, so no one dared to express the second opinion, “We all think Chamberlain is right!” The 7 high-level slaveholders quickly said.
“Then, that’s it. Also, Luo Hengshen contributed a lot to this investigation. So the fire messenger has personally awarded him a set of cultivation methods. He will still remain as the deputy castellan,” Chu Yunsheng said.
“Castellan Cao, from now on, you are formally the second castellan of the castle of Raging Fire. I hope that you can do your best to help the fire messenger,” Chu Yunsheng took out the castellan token that he found from Lei Ming’s pocket and passed it to Cao Zhengyi.
Cao Zhengyi used his shaking hands to take over the token and said respectfully, “I will do my best to help you and the fire messenger”
“Okay, now I am giving you your first task, let’s see what your performance is. Your first task is to prepare the entire castle for the possible incoming battle,” Chu Yunsheng took a sip of water and said calmly.
“Prepare for the battle?” Cao Zhengyi instantly raised his head and looked at Chu Yunsheng. All the slaveholders were also confused.
“Yes, get ready for the battle! I need a detailed report for the forces we have. As soon as possible,” Chu Yunsheng said. He needed the castle’s statistics so he could analyze the information to see if he could fight the castle of the Snowstorm and the divine realm.
“Yes… I will do it right now,” Cao Zhengyi nodded his head and said.
“Also, lift the lockdown. Let the news regarding what happened tonight spread in the castle as fast as it can. In terms of how you are going to deal with those spies, you can discuss with Luo Hengshen and other slaveholders,” Chu Yunsheng simply said.
