Chapter 44: Riots

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, it was his deputy, "How is it, have you found out?"

The deputy shook his head with a serious expression, "Not yet, but our people found out that it was not a fire caused by nature, and there were traces of spell casting." ”

"This can basically be judged to be man-made, and the crowd on the dock has been evacuated. ”

Hearing the deputy's report, Gerry couldn't help but ponder. The ship that caught fire in the distance, the fire had been extinguished in time, and it no matter what conspiracy the other side had, it no longer mattered.

He's going to stay here.

At this moment, dozens of boats in the entire dock area suddenly caught fire. The fire spread and spread to other ships at once.

The fire was raging, and a layer of heat was floating on the surface of the sea.

Gerry's heart sank, and he immediately said to his deputy: "Hurry up and send half of our people out, hurry up and put out the fire, otherwise it will soon spread to our ship." ”

"Inform the people on the dock and tell them to quickly inform the City Lord's Mansion why no one has come yet. ”

Suppressed the roar, after the deputy left. I had some bad premonitions in my heart, and the reaction speed of other people was too slow.

Now the situation, if by the end the fire spread to the ship. Then he will have to order someone to move the important things.

He couldn't help but want to curse a few times, if it weren't for the problems within Andrew's family. How could these things have been stranded here for so long?

His eyes narrowed slightly, "I hope this is not what I thought it would be." ”

In the dock area, the garrison has blocked the entire dock, and the people who are here now are their people. Even the people were not allowed to approach the docks, and all of them were dispersed.

The leader of the garrison was waiting anxiously, he looked at the spreading fire from time to time, and roared at the deputy who met him: "Why hasn't anyone come here yet, have you invited those spellcasters?"

"Aren't they very good at making water, hurry up and let them put out the fire, and notify the others?"

The deputy hesitated a little, but stopped talking.

The leader of the garrison immediately shouted angrily: "If you want to say it, you can say it." ”

The deputy nodded hurriedly and motioned for the leader to come to a corner with his back to everyone.

The leader looked at the fire, commanded the others, and followed the deputy.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Chief, it's the City Lord's Mansion that refuses to send someone over. ”

The leader was shocked: "How is it possible?"

"As you know, the situation is a little bit less clear right now. ”

The deputy cautiously suggested, "Otherwise, let's put these things on the city guards?"

"Don't say that again. "The chief's stern warning.

"Yes, yes. ”

When the leader heard the news, he was a little irritated and kept pacing back and forth.

Suddenly noticed a dark shadow in the dark corner, "Who is it?"

He immediately drew his sword and raised his vigilance, this leader was also a transcendent.

The leader rushed forward, suddenly inhaling a slightly fishy smell of powder.

"Not good. ”

A gust of wind approached behind him, and he tried to react, but he couldn't use his strength.

Laugh at!

The dagger grazed the neck.

In an instant, the leader collapsed to the ground.

The figure in the dark corner came out, and it was a fish-man, with blue skin standing out in the moonlight.

The deputy nodded to the fishman, flipped the dagger, and gave himself a knife. Bleeding profusely, he covered his abdomen with his right hand and shouted loudly: "Someone attacked!"

The people guarding the garrison not far away reacted and quickly ran over. Seeing the leader lying on the ground and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and the deputy was also seriously injured, he was a little overwhelmed.

"Still stunned for what, the other party has already run away. ”

At this time, everyone reacted, and they could only see each other's flashing backs.

A few people were left in place to take care of the deputy, and the rest of the people immediately went after the figure.

Because most of the people went after the enemy, the order on the docks was already unattended, causing a lot of people to mix in. Ordinary people did not dare to cross the line, but just looked at the distant firelight and whispered discussions.

But a transcendent like Horren naturally had no scruples, and the guards on the dock were lax and immediately blended into the dock.

Horren had seen some of the fire below and felt that something was wrong, and it wasn't until the fire suddenly spread and grew larger that he came to the docks.

At that time, it was already blocked, and I could only watch the excitement from the pier.

He saw several people infiltrating it, sneaking into a cargo ship from the side. It's a long way from the fire, so you don't have to worry about being affected.

Upon entering the cargo ship, it was empty. He lay down in a mezzanine on the deck, and if anyone was there, he would just squat down and immediately put on the top of his head.

"Such a big fire, if it is not stopped in time, this piece of cargo ship will definitely be burned out. ”

At this time, the city guards finally used their tools to divert water to extinguish the fires of several ships. Seeing that the form was good, everyone was more active in extinguishing the fire.

Gerry stood on the deck expressionlessly, and his deputy stood next to him, just bringing very bad news.

The leader of the garrison was assassinated and killed on the spot. The deputy was also seriously wounded, and there was no news of the reinforcements he had been waiting for.

On the contrary, now there are some riots on the dock because of the negligence of the garrison. The deputy was trembling on the side, and he, who was familiar with Gerry's personality, could feel the anger that Gerry was trying to suppress at this time.

"Master Gerry, what should we do now?"

"According to this form, the fire will be extinguished immediately, and we can think about how to deal with the aftermath. ”

As soon as the words fell, an exclamation came from a distance.

It's the city guards who are putting out the fire.

It was supposed to be possible to extinguish the fire, but when several of the burning ships were extinguished, the fire suddenly became more violent when it encountered water, and the guards reacted immediately.

Someone has done something on these ships, and there should have been a spellcaster here who would not be so embarrassed. But now there are no reinforcements coming, so they can only use ordinary methods to extinguish the fire.

When the deputy saw this, his heart cooled, "Lord Gerry..."

The light of the fire shone on Gerry's young and resolute face, and the light and darkness were uncertain, "Abandon these ships!" and tell the others not to put out the fire, and to move all the contents of the hold to shore. ”

"Yes. ”

Without hesitation, the deputy immediately went down to carry out the order and recalled all those who were fighting the fire.

Gerry had been standing on the deck, staring at the others carrying the cargo.

"Speed up and get these things to the docks before the flames come over. ”

Gerry put on his helmet and turned into the hold to avoid anyone fishing in troubled waters.

As a traveling knight, coming to Siwa City has helped him a lot in his experience. But no matter what the reason was, the rejection of reinforcements made him very disappointed in Andrew's family.
