Outside the imperial capital, a skirmish ended quickly, and the black-clad warriors besieging the guards were in front of the twenty heavily armed cavalry guards at the guard's office, and in just a few moments they were crumbled.

Except for the three living mouths that remained, the others were killed.

In the bushes in the banyan grove in the distance, two middle-aged men, also dressed in black, held binoculars and squinted into the distance.

"There's only one left, what to do? Moreover, they captured our people alive. One asked.

The other looked at the more than a dozen black-clothed warriors behind him, "They have a paladin and two magicians, and twenty guards armed to the teeth, what do you say?"

"Retreat?"

"If you have a better idea, you might as well say it!"

......

The bald middle-aged guard's name was Jenon, he squatted weakly on the ground, staring at Peidi with half-squinted eyes, "I am the guard of Tyr Town, and we were attacked by this group of people when we were escorting two important witnesses to the imperial capital with a chief from the imperial capital. ”

"The guards from the Imperial Capital?" asked Pedi, "is it called Owa?"

"Yes, it's him, our sheriff calls him Sergeant Owa. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"What about others?"

"I don't know, we broke out separately. Jenon said, "Which of you knows Sir Pedy, the sheriff south of the imperial capital?"

"I am!" Pedi was stunned.

When Jenon heard this, his eyes moved to the identity crystal pendant on Pedy's chest, there were three in total: the paladin's, the sheriff's, and the nobleman's.

After confirming Pedi's identity, he shuddered and took out a blood-stained strip of cloth from his bosom.

"What else do you know? Like those two witnesses. Harus next to him asked.

Jenon shook his head, "At the time of the breakout, Sergeant Owa gave each of us a piece of this cloth, and the things explained were the same, and the rest was only known to Sergeant Owa himself and our sheriff. ”

Pedi flipped over the strip of cloth.

There was a strange pattern drawn on it, which Pedi did not recognize, and had never seen before, and he thought for a moment and handed the strip of cloth to Harus. The officers of the Operations Division are generally trained in professional reconnaissance and are very familiar with the markings inside the Security Service.

"This is a kind of temporary marking, and if our guards encounter an emergency when handling a case, they will generally hide important things in one place, and then leave a mark that only our security personnel can understand. Harus explained.

"Can you understand?" asked Pedy.

Harus shook his head, "It's a temporary mark, I suppose if guard Jenon wasn't lying, this should be a hiding place for something." ”

"Interrogate those three live mouths as soon as possible, you only have half an hour, and after half an hour, we will leave. ”

Harus nodded and walked over to the three captives with the magician Tep.

"I asked, you answered, understood?" said Harlens to one of them.

The man looked away, apparently he wasn't going to cooperate.

"Poof!"

A dagger sank between the man's shoulder and collarbone.

"Ahh

The prisoner rolled to the ground in pain, blood gushing out of the dagger's blood groove.

"Sir?"

Harus looked at Pedi.

Pedi frowned, although he was a little unaccustomed, he didn't say anything, he nodded.

The moment Harus smiled and pulled out the dagger, the holy power of Pedi's control slowly flowed through the prisoner's wound.

In a few seconds, the wound heals.

"I asked, you answered, understood?" Harrens asked, playing with his dagger, again. Every time he shook the dagger, the prisoner's body trembled subconsciously, but he bit his lip and didn't speak.

"Oh, it's a hard mouth!" Harus smirked contemptuously, and his dagger stabbed out.

This time, he pierced the joint of the opponent's inner thigh.

"Ahh

The cry was like the cry of a ghost in the middle of the night.

After a few seconds, the person twitched twice, and a foul odor emanated from his lower body.

Harus pursed his lips, drew his bloody dagger and wiped it in a clean place, and said to himself, "It's too much to toss, I fainted so quickly." ”

As he spoke, the dagger slashed across the other party's neck.

Death woke him up, but he could only do his last struggle before he died...

Harus stepped on the viscous blood, stared at the other two captives and asked, "I asked, you answered, understand?"

"Understood!"

After two seconds of silence, the two nodded desperately in Harus's impatient expression.

Harus and Tep apparently do this all the time. The people in the Operations Division are not responsible for handling cases, they are talking about efficiency, so they can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

In just five minutes, the remaining two people explained everything.

But unfortunately, the two don't know much.

However, the identities of these people are clear, they are a group of mercenaries who take people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

"Iron Tooth Mercenary Regiment?" Pei Di didn't have any information about this mercenary group in his mind, and he instructed Harus next to him, "Send out the Blood Eagle and ask the headquarters to help arrest all the members of the Iron Tooth Mercenary Regiment... Also, have someone go to the headquarters to check this guard named Jenon to see if there is any file on him. ”

"Understood. Harus nodded.

......

The land around Suker City is very old, dating back to the nomadic period of man.

The cemetery of the ancestors, the legendary birthplace of human civilization.

Scattered blood stained the nearby inscriptions, and dozens of cold corpses told of a recent skirmish. The breeze blew, making Pei Di feel a chill in his bone marrow under the scorching sun, as if there were countless unjust spirits swimming around his body.

Sergeant Owa's body lay quietly on a grave, his fatal wound in the chest, presumably pierced by a spear or other weapon, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Pedi looked at all this in disbelief, he even thought it was a dream, but Sergeant Owa's empty eyes and his gaping mouth that seemed to be silently screaming made Pedi feel so real again.

From the footprints around him, Sergeant Owa was facing a siege of at least five men, and the several bodies dressed in black that lay next to the corpse testify to how heroic he was in the last moments of his life.

"At the very least, you used your death to prove that you were not wrong in the direction you were tracking. Pedi said to herself. With that, he stretched out his hand to help the sergeant close his unwilling eyes.

"Thirty-one corpses, eleven of them belong to our guards, their identity crystals are still there, and their identities are not difficult to identify! Eighteen of the other twenty corpses belong to those black-clothed soldiers who have just fought with us, and two corpses should be the witnesses that Guard Jenon said. Harus stared at Sergeant Owa's corpse, reporting the results of the preliminary reconnaissance, and there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Protect the site. Pedi said with a sigh.

As soon as the words fell, a group of fast horses galloped over, it was the guard who stayed on guard on the perimeter, he approached and said, "The people from the headquarters are here, and Chief Hanina personally leads the team." ”

Pedi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had called reinforcements from headquarters.
