After actually stepping over the dirty ground and the drunken crowd, Alaire walked to Akkad.
The commander-in-chief of the army was currently chewing a pig leg in one hand, while holding a wine glass in the other hand, enjoying the delicious food with a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine.
Surrounding him were the nobles from the Bulgar army, who were also showing a dissolute attitude. The imam who accompanied the army stood aside with a frown on his face. It was obvious that he couldn't stand this scene, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only stand in front of him.
Watch this.
Everyone's words were full of flattery towards Akkad. Occupying Kashen has restored the bad influence caused by his inappropriate behavior. It can be said that his power is now at its peak.
Many people were wearing their best clothes, but now their clothes were stained with alcohol and oil, but no one cared about it. These Bulgar nobles caroused here like barbarians.
Alaire saw everything with his eyes, but said nothing. This was a habit he had developed around Khan. He could just evaluate things in his heart when he saw them, rather than speak rashly.
He walked silently to Akade, and the commander-in-chief who was eating and drinking also noticed his arrival.
"Ah hahaha, Alaire, you're here. How is the mining going? Has the ore been produced?"
On the second day after occupying Kashen, Akade ordered the resumption of production in the Kashen mine. The little silver ore the Russians left in Kashen was not enough for everyone to share, and it still needed to be dug. This is why they came here.
Yes.
So the captured prisoners of war and the remaining miners were driven into the mines and started digging under the whip of the Bulgar supervisor, and Allaire was responsible for this task.
For Akade, Alaire is not one of his own, and will never be one of his own, so he should let him do this kind of tiring work, and his cronies can enjoy it here.
It won't be easy until Bulgar sends professionals to replace him with his own power.
"A lot of ore has been produced, but at the same time there is also bad news. To be more precise, it is very, very bad news."
The words brought by Allaire were like a bucket of cold water, pouring on the commander's face. Akade was still very sensitive to these things, which made his drunkenness dissipate immediately.
Akade squinted his eyes and looked at the Khan's cronies, "What did you find?"
Allaire just bowed again, his tone still neither humble nor condescending, "You'd better see for yourself, I can't explain what happened with words."
Putting down the wine glass and food, Akade looked into Alaire's eyes. He didn't see any joking in those eyes, only seriousness.
The commander of the army sighed, praying in his heart that nothing would be too bad.
————————
Akade, who followed Alaire on horseback to the mine, couldn't help but feel a click in his heart when he saw the sight that came into view.
The heavily armed Bulgar soldiers have blocked the mine. Their hands are on their swords, as if they will draw their swords and fight in the next moment.
No one would be surprised to see this scene, but they were all forcibly ordered to disperse. If they did not leave, they would be severely beaten with scabbards and spear shafts.
"grown ups."
Seeing Akade and Alaire arriving surrounded by a large number of guards, the Bulgar warrior in scale armor immediately bowed to the two of them. His expression was very nervous, and he didn't know what he was wary of.
"How's the situation inside?"
Allaire asked casually as he dismounted, as if he was asking about something ordinary.
"The situation has been handled according to your order, but the water..."
The warrior looked at Akkad from time to time as he spoke, as if he was worried about something, but Alaire just waved his hand to let him go, which made the warrior couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alaire, what are you planning on doing?"
Akade couldn't help but say, his tone was quite urgent, and this scene made him more and more uneasy.
"Emil, you will know as soon as you follow me in. As long as you see everything, you will understand."
Allaire talked about the title of Akade. This title was not used much in ordinary times, but now that Allaire used it, his seriousness could be seen clearly. At the same time, he did not forget to make a gesture of invitation.
With doubts, Akade walked into the mine and passed through the passage supported by wooden supports. The first thing Akade saw was the corpse.
Corpses, countless corpses were stacked there like this. They all had obvious sword wounds on their bodies, and these people had not been dead for a long time, and blood was even still flowing from those wounds.
The Bulgar soldiers were continuously pouring animal fat on the corpses. The spearmen stood nearby and guarded the surroundings. Looking at the corpses' dressing, they were Russian prisoners of war and slaves working in the mine, but now they were killed for unknown reasons.
Witnessing death made Akade's inner alarm ring. What did this guy want to do? Subconsciously, his palm rested on the handle of the knife, ready to pull out the sword at any time and fight Alaire to the end.
What does the Khan's loyal dog want to do? Want to rebel here? When calculating how many minutes it will take for the guards outside the mine to rush in, Emil thought, and at the same time, his eyes scanned the space brightly lit by a large number of torches, looking for
Other opportunities to change the situation.
However, when his eyes saw the passage of the mine further down, he stopped and lowered his stance of drawing the sword.
Because he thought that the mine had been buried by the water, and there were even several corpses floating on it. It looked like they were all Ross miners here.
"What's happening here!"
Regardless of anything else, Akade yelled, his tone full of horror and confusion. What was horrifying was that he saw that the mine was flooded, but what was puzzling was why it had become like this. Yesterday he
During the inspection, it was clear that there were no abnormal noises except for some water seepage!
"Everything is as you can see, Master Akade. We dug the underground waterway, and the water flowed out and flooded the mine. It happened so suddenly, and the water flowed out crazily in just an instant, and even those who ran slowly were submerged.
Died down there."
"As for why I wanted to kill the Russians, the situation at that time was too chaotic. I could only keep it a secret for the time being. You know, this news must not be released. This is why I insist that you come and see it with your own eyes.
If you can't see it with your own eyes, you will never believe anything I say."
Allaire's words were still full of indifference and a hint of schadenfreude, as if it had nothing to do with him.
And this is correct, anyway, the person in charge of this expedition is the noble emir in front of him, and has nothing to do with the Khan, nor has anything to do with him.
"No! No! By Allah, this is not true! This is not true!"
Akade knelt in front of the flooded mine, his face full of disbelief. He couldn't accept all of this. This was not true! This was not true!
