Release that Witch - Chapter 468
[Chapter 461 Respective Beliefs]
This is the strangest team Ryan Meade has ever seen.
On the square table in the hall on the first floor of the castle, there is a detailed map of Longsong Fortress.
And there were six people around the square table, they were Iron Axe, the commander of the First Army, Vader, the police captain from Border Town, Ripper, the current leader of the Raging Fire Gang, Nightingale, the head of the Security Bureau, Ashes the black-haired witch, and For Earl Elk himself.
Ren never thought that he would need the help of mice one day, let alone cooperate with the witch.
“My lords, there are about seven or eight gangs of all sizes in the fortress,” Cracked Bone showed a flattering smile, bent over and said, “The most members are the Sickle Gang located in the northern part of the outer city, with about five or six hundred people, but The strongest is the death knell in the inner city. Most of them are fugitives and mercenaries. They hardly accept ordinary civilians. They have a lot of weapons and armor. The fattest location.”
“The east of the city is the territory of the scavengers and the vulture gang. With the convenience of the dock area, they mainly do slave trade and dreamland water, and their methods are particularly cruel. I heard that these two rat organizations Standing behind are the Benlang family and the Maple Leaf family, but when they were beaten by our Fire Gang a few years ago, no big nobles came out to help them.” He said a little proudly.
“As for the west part of the city, the gangs are much more complicated… because they are all small gangs, and I have only dealt with their leaders at most. They are—”
“The news of the gangs is not important, so there is no need to go into details here Having said that,” the tall Mojin tribe interrupted, “I just want to ask, can you take us to the dens of these underground rats?
” Nodded, “As the saying goes, rats build a nest, ten dens and nine holes. I know the main gathering places of various gangs, but it is impossible to know every refuge of them, especially those hiding places built with dry wells and basements , only the leader and his cronies know the exact location.”
“He’s right about that,” Ren sighed. “The rats are vulnerable to a head-on confrontation, but if you want to wipe them out one by one, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
“If you attack suddenly There is still a little chance, but now that the notice has been issued, those bosses should have been hiding by the time of action.”
“Hiding?” The black-haired witch sneered, “Unless he hides in Chishui City, as long as he Still staying in the fortress, there is no one we can’t find.”
“Yes, you are right.” Liangu wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped arguing.
The pressure on this witch named Ashes is astonishing. Ren has been on the battlefield and fought against evil beasts in Hermes. He knows what a real warrior looks like… But even those who have experienced many battles The Judgment Army will be eclipsed in front of her.
The other party doesn’t need to put on any scary appearance, just standing there can make people dare not look directly at them easily.
There is no doubt that she has not only seen blood and taken the lives of enemies, but also hovered on the edge of life and death, so she can have such an overbearing aura.
“According to His Highness, we still have three days to prepare. After the first batch of rations are distributed, the army will start from the north city gate and wipe out the rat gangs in each area one by one.” Iron Ax said in a deep voice, “This strike is only For the organizers, try to disintegrate the black street in the shortest possible time.”
“But… will this really work?” Seeing the other party walking towards the entrance of the hall, Ren couldn’t help asking, “There has never been a city that can be destroyed. Rats, as long as there are people, they will not be cut off.”
Iron Ax turned his head and glanced at him, “That’s right, there are no rats in Border Town.”
…
After everyone left, only Vader remained.
“My lord, has anyone reported to the city hall for a police position?”
“Not yet… But I heard from Pei Luo that dozens of people from the Second Army have signed up.” Ren sat down slowly while leaning on the square table, the words of Iron Ax still echoing in his mind.
After a while, he whispered, “Is there really no rats in the town?”
“If we talk about black street organizations in the usual sense, there really aren’t any,” Vader shrugged, “there is no shortage of food, no worries about housing, Both men and women can find a suitable job. Even as a handyman, the salary is enough to fill their stomachs. To be honest, before I came to Border Town, I would not have believed that such a place existed in the Kingdom of Graycastle.”
“Why? “Ren couldn’t help asking.
“I don’t know, my lord…” Vader spread his hands, “What His Highness Roland has done is far from any nobleman I have ever seen.”
“Don’t call me your Lord,” he waved his hand, “Your Highness, let us work together To deal with this matter, you can put the title aside in private.” The
other party nodded without refusing.
Such a straightforward character made Ren quite appreciate, “Do you think His Royal Highness can really eradicate all the rats in the fortress and turn the entire western region into a pure land?”
“I’m not sure either.” Vader’s answer made him I was a little surprised, “After all, I was a patrol captain before, and I have dealt with mice for several years. Their existence is like shadows in the sun, and it is difficult to use strong methods alone. It is His Royal Highness. As I said, if it is a big city with a million people, he may not be able to manage everything thoroughly, but if there are only 100,000 people, it is not impossible to clean up these bottom-level scum. Simply put, it makes the people feel that the price of becoming a mouse is too high. There are many more suitable alternatives.”
“Is the price…too high?” Ren automatically skipped over the statement that a city with a million people, just one hundred thousand people is already an incredible and magnificent city, “This is amazing It
’s not something that can be done in a short period of time.”
“That’s right, cracking down on rats, or cracking down on crime is definitely not something that can be done overnight,” Vader nodded, “The police is the agency established by His Royal Highness Roland for this matter. It and the patrol team Quite different, I’ve told you that.”
It is indeed completely different. They receive the salary of the city hall, rather than obeying the orders of a certain nobleman. They maintain the law and order of an area, rather than cooperating with criminals.
“Moreover, the most important thing is that His Highness UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com also said something to me.”
“What words?”
“Actually, I mentioned your doubts to him before,” Vader laughed. He smiled, “Your Highness told me, if you can’t do it, why don’t you do it?”
Ren Meade suddenly felt a sudden movement in his heart, as if something suddenly became clear.
Why don’t you just do it if you can’t do it? If that’s the case, he won’t be running on the road of knights forever.
Although he has taken over the earl now, it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from the life he likes, but as long as he can continue to fight on the battlefield of protecting the people, he will not be far from the path in his heart.
Instead, it just gets wider and wider.
“I see…I see.” He took a deep breath.
“I was also quite shocked at the time,” Vader said with emotion, “It’s just the last sentence His Highness said. I still don’t quite understand what it means.”
“Is there any more?” Ren asked expectantly.
“Well,” Vader recalled, rubbing his chin, “after drinking this bowl of chicken soup, you will feel extremely full. But…what does this have to do with chicken soup?” (To be continued.)
