"Gashhhh

Braderidley's festering mouth let out a grotesque scream that made the roots of his teeth sore, and the broadsword in his hand flicked to block the blow that Trofeld had struck at his throat. But Trofil didn't give up on that, and he used the rebound in his hand to turn and sweep, hitting Bradidley in the neck again.

"When" Braderidley resisted directly with a handguard made of stainless steel.

Trofeld only felt as if his sword had slashed against a hard wall, and his hands were numb from the force of the shock, and before he could react, he felt a pain in his waist and abdomen, followed by a feeling of weightlessness. When he woke up, he found that he had been knocked to the ground, and the burning pain of the cartilage in his abdomen made him realize that the other party had pierced his stomach.

As soon as the heart-rending pain came, Trofil felt his eyes go black and a broad, bloodstained sword aimed at his chest.

The "poof" sword struck the heart of Trofil's chest in Trofil's desperate gaze.

"Ahh

In the next moment, all the carved magic patterns on Trofil's body were activated, and the crimson flames suddenly burst up, covering Trofil's entire body in the blink of an eye!

The scorching flames caused the surrounding undead soldiers to instinctively take a step back.

A guard in a blue cloak grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand, grabbed a magic scroll and shouted, "You should never dream of enslaving our bodies!"

In an instant, even more intense flames began to rise, and as the undead soldiers kept retreating, they soon covered most of the corpses around them.

"Bastard! bastard!" Bradedeley slurred his words to vent the anger in his heart, and the piercing screams caused most of the undead soldiers around him to scatter in fear.

...

May 18,

The day after the city of Karon in the Duchy of Rigrock was captured by the undead legion, the other kingdoms on the continent learned of the news under the notification of the elves.

Sook City,

The largest city of mankind, the glory and splendor of the past have long been far away from this city, but the prosperity is still there.

The lack of the suppression of the old imperial class, the free and chaotic city-state system, and the increasingly prosperous trade economy of the port elves of Yekjar and the kingdom of Misha, made the original infrastructure of Suk City burst into a strong development momentum in an instant.

But behind this prosperity is endless chaos and a growing crime problem!

And now, there are evil believers wreaking havoc in the city, and the officers of the security department, with the help of elven magicians, have arrested more than 300 people in the last three days, and cracked dozens of evil sacrifice ceremonies.

Lion Castle... Inside the Yuris Hall,

The Golden Throne is gone, and the statue of Locke-Danediv the Great is preserved in the museum of the University of Youen, where the only thing that remains of the Old Empire is the name of the hall and the statue of the Grand Duke of Patved.

The city council replaced the Council of Nobles, and Penny Regan, as city consul and general of the council (Danediv in her surname was stripped at the request of the council) sat in a chair under the statue of Archduke Patwild.

In front of her, there was a large circular conference table, around which the members of the parliament sat in a circle.

"The last three days of law and order problems in the city have been very serious. Archon Woz Pedro looked at Malek, the chief of the security service across from him, "Your funding is increasing every day, but the crime rate and the crime solving rate are stretching to two extremes. ”

"We have less than two hundred real agents, but we are facing the city of Suke, which has two million citizens. Malek said helplessly: "Our laws are too lenient, the cost of making mistakes is too low, and a few months in prison can be exchanged for a large amount of krona, and everyone is willing to take risks." ”

Woz-Pedro's tone froze, and he quietly glanced at Fipnato, the prefect of the nearby prefect of the city's law court, who obviously wanted to say something, but kept his mouth shut.

"Then improve our laws as soon as possible. "Woz Pedro, the chief of the city garrison, doesn't think that much.

"This set of laws has been perfected for more than three hundred years, and we..."

"Are you joking?" said Marquis Nepodo-Quint without hesitation, interrupting Fipnato, "that law was for the nobility of the old empire, and you would be foolish enough to apply it to the citizens. He pointed to Phipnato's head as he spoke, "Your head is full of shit!"

Fipnato was so angry that he trembled and raised his finger to point at Nepdo Quint, opening his mouth to say something, but Penny Reagan in the first seat coughed softly before he could speak, "Ahem... We've been talking about policing since last month, maybe... I think it's time to come up with a workable solution. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Woz Pedro in the first place.

Woz-Pedro and Fipnato obviously wanted to express their opinions on the issue, but Penny preempted the two of them and said at a very fast pace: "In the last few days, I have looked through all the case files submitted by the police department in the past three months, and there are tens of thousands of cases recorded, but less than a third of them have been solved, and the rest have been sealed as unsolved cases..."

"Among the tens of thousands of cases, robberies and thefts are the most numerous, and there are a lot of gang fights. Penny looked at Malek, "Although I don't know how to handle cases, I know very well that cases like this should be avoided. ”

"Of course, some means are needed, but..."

"I propose that the following decree be enacted in the name of the City Council—" Penny waved her hand to stop Malek from continuing, and she looked around at everyone at the conference table and said:

"First, the robbers will be sentenced to more than five years in prison with no bail, second, citizens convicted of theft will be expelled and prohibited from entering the city, and third, the city defense will begin to suppress the gangs within the city and investigate the supporters behind them. ”

"You... What do you think?"

The council members looked at each other, and Stu-Gala said as the crowd 'pondered': "Gang power has always been the biggest problem in our city, but this problem is not easy to solve, the cost of making the city defense force operate is too great, occasionally it can be, and the cost will be astronomical in the long run. ”

Penny looked at Stu Gala with an inexplicable smile, "I've never thought of using force to solve the problem of city gangs, and I don't care who is behind them, I just want them to know who has the final say in this city!"

When Stu Gala heard this, he said without much thought: "If this is the case, I agree to the issuance of these three decrees. ”

"I agree!" Nepdo Quint followed, "I don't think the security department is too small to deal with the daily surge of cases... So I'm proposing to amend the bill to encourage citizens to defend their property themselves, and I think the Kingdom of Kruria has done a good job of that, and their current law allows citizens to take out thieves while defending their property without any liability. ”

"Yes!" "Yes," Malek and Nepdo-Quint looked at each other and then looked at Penny, "In the Kingdom of Kruria, under all these preconditions, even ordinary citizens can kill a nobleman... It's all right!"

"Pedy Reagan must have been annoyed by their aristocratic council. Stu Garra's voice was questioning.

"In fact, the Kingdom of Kruria has long since dissolved the Council of Nobles. There was a hint of admiration in Malek's tone, "Pedy Reagan even abolished the 'Covenant of Ancestors' that the Crewe people had followed for generations, and promoted the reform of the Bill of Nobility, and now in the Kingdom of Creura, although the title of nobility is important, it is not everything. ”

"That..."

"Everyone, let's put aside the affairs of the Kruria Kingdom for now. Penny interrupted the conversation, "I accept the advice of His Excellency Neptor to encourage citizens to protect themselves... Vote on it. ”

"I agree!"

Malek, Nepdo-Quint and Stu Gala voted almost simultaneously.

The merchant representative, Templeto Bob, looked at Woz Pedro, Fipnato, Bailly and the others who were thinking, and whispered softly: "Chamber of Commerce trade also needs a stable security environment, and I agree. ”

Temple-Bob's statement made Woz Pedro and others subconsciously set their eyes on him, with obvious incredulity in their eyes. Although Temple-Bob's words are bright on the surface, in fact, many of the city's shady deeds are almost all related to some of the chambers of commerce he represents.

"Perhaps, it's really time to change our bill. Woz Pedro looked at Penny, "Let's start with these bills... I also agree. ”

"Amending the Constitution is not a simple matter. Fipinato frowned, "I reserve my opinion. ”

As the president of the court, the ruler of the law chose to be neutral in this crucial matter!

Soon, other parliamentarians also expressed their positions,

Perhaps it was the growing chaos on the Suk Plains that the decree that had been entangled for months passed with a high number of votes.

"Good. There was not the slightest joy on Penny's face, "Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, these decrees will be promulgated in the name of the city council, and in three days... That is, it will officially take effect at one o'clock in the morning on May 21st!"

The parliamentarians' faces changed slightly when they heard Penny's words, they didn't think that Penny would be in such a hurry, and that the decree would be promulgated within one day and implemented within three days!

But such doubts were only thought about in their hearts and not raised in person.

"Now, let's talk about the legions of the undead wreaking havoc on the outskirts of the city. Penny sat up straight, "That's what elves call those monsters, right?" she looked at Bailly, who was sitting not far away.

"Yes. Bailly grimaced, "In the regular meeting a few days ago, the elves made it very clear about the origin and dangers of these undead creatures... In their words, 'this is a war on the whole continent'. ”

"I've seen some of the magical images that came back from the Duchy of Rigrock, and some of the monsters are even taller than the Giants!" "Nepdo-Quint looked around at everyone present, "If they spread to the Suke Plains, we might just have to sit idly by." ”

"Do you think you're still the Empire's War Secretary?" Woz-Pedro couldn't help but sarcastically, "There's nothing we can do about what happens in the Duchy of Rigrock, or rather, we don't have anything to do with it, we just need to protect the city under our feet." ”

"Everyone," Bailly interrupted, "the Duchy of Rigrock has been captured by the Legion of the Undead, the Grand Duke of Trofil has been killed in battle, and the military and civilians of its northern territory are retreating towards the northern entrance to the Suke Plains. ”

"How can it be so fast?" Nepdo-Quint couldn't help but exclaim, "How could it be so fast! There are at least 10,000 soldiers stationed in Karen City, and there are so many supplies in the city that can be used to defend the city... I remember how long it has been since the Undead Legion arrived on the outskirts of Karen City seven days ago?"

Bai said in a tone of extreme affirmation, "But this information is true and confirmed by the elves!"

"Is there a specific battle report?" asked Penny, suppressing the shock in her heart, in a slightly trembling voice.

Bailly shook his head regretfully, "No, neither on the elf side, it seems that Cullen City was occupied by the undead army overnight, and they blocked the area within a hundred miles of the city, and the living can't enter at all!"

"Didn't you say that the main army of the elves had already left for the northern territory of Feld's territory, and they didn't support the war in Cullen?" Woz Pedro leaned back on the edge of the table and looked at Bailly with an incredulous expression.

"We don't have the intelligence of the main elven army, and it's impossible to find out. Bailly explained, "The elves have revealed their battle plan before... Without absolute certainty, they will not fight the undead legion head-on. ”

"So, the main army of the elves, just as Feld led the nearly a million civilians of the Duchy of Rigrock to be devoured by death?"

"If the intel about the Undead Legion isn't wrong, I don't think the elves are wrong in their current choice. There was no joy in Penny Reagan's words, "This war is unlike any we've ever had before... The elves have warned us that we must not fight the undead until we have the absolute strength to destroy them, or we will have to sacrifice the lives of our soldiers in vain. ”

"That's millions!" repeated Nepdo-Quint in a low voice.

"Yes, that's millions!" Penny repeated, looking around at the crowd, "There are more than two million people in and around Suker waiting for our decision!" she pressed her hands to the edge of the table, her palms white, "We can't let the tragedy of Cullen City repeat itself in the city beneath our feet. ”
