"Tonight, we must catch the murderer and solve this case!"

At the location of the security forces in Puerto Ancona, the new sheriff Alicia is mobilizing her militia.

A sheriff with silver-level strength, and nearly a hundred professional militiamen of varying strength, this is the main combat force of the security team. If war breaks out in the port, then with the professional militia as the core, all the residents in the port can be organized to form a huge force! However, in non-war times, the 100 people in front of them are all the combat power of the port.

In normal times, these 100 people will be distributed in various points in the port to maintain law and order in the city. However, with the emergence of a "powerful murderer" in the city, which seriously threatens the lives of everyone, so today the militia gathered and tried to unite to arrest the "murderer".

The female knight was scrappy and confident about tonight's action, but the militia below were a little uneasy about it.

"Captain Alicia, the enemy is the monster that killed Captain Sfit! Or wait for General Thomson to send someone to deal with it. One of the militiamen suggested.

"We're vigilantes!" The female knight looked at the team members in front of her indifferently, "If the security team can't even maintain law and order, then there is no need for the security team to exist." I can go back to being a regular civilian, but all of you will have to go home and take the kids!" ”

Hearing the words of the female knight, all the militiamen were stunned: "Captain Alicia, is it possible that the higher authorities want to deprive us of our autonomy?" ”

"Huh! ~" The female knight sneered, "Now, are you still going to say that you will hand over that monster to the military?" ”

Although the salary of the militia is not high, it is also a decent job, so after hearing the words of the female knight, everyone quit. The morale of the militia was instantly high.

However, there are some things that cannot be solved by fighting spirit alone.

"But Captain Alicia, the enemy is a monster that even Captain Sfield can't defeat, how are we going to defeat it?"

Captain Sfield is a former sheriff, and in order to capture the murderer, he was killed by the murderer instead, and he is a warrior with silver-level strength.

"I will lead the battle team to deal with the enemy, and the other teams will be mainly responsible for blocking, ambushing, and setting traps. Still have questions? ”

Seeing that the sheriff led the team in charge of the combat part, the rest of the team members naturally had no opinion.

After some discussion and preparation, the members of the security team drove to the target location, the southern part of the port.

The scope of the murderer's murder has been in the southern area of the port, and the security team has investigated the residents of the southern district door to door before, and found no suspicious people, and this is the reason why the female knight is sure that the murderer is not a human - if it is an intelligent creature, it is impossible for the security team to stay where it is when they find that the security team is investigating. Since "scaring the snake" is ineffective, it naturally shows that the "murderer" should be an unconscious and immobile existence. After that, all kinds of intelligence were added, and then there was a plan of action for this time.

On the streets of the southern part of the port, a woman in leather armor walked aimlessly through the streets and alleys, almost as if she had the words "come and attack me" written on her face.

……

On a three-story residential building, Green was sitting on the roof, squinting his eyes, sensing outwards, sensing the movement around him. And Thousand Shadows also knelt behind Grimm, his eyes closed, sensing the information around him.

According to previous investigations, the cursed doll only attacks pedestrians on the road, and does not enter houses to attack residents. If the cursed doll appeared and attacked passers-by, the movement would definitely be not small, and in the dead of night, it was unlikely to hide the powerful perception of the thousand shadows.

Suddenly, Chikage opened his eyes: "Master." ”

Green also opened his eyes: "Hmm...... Found out. ”

Green turned around and pulled something out of the duffel backpack behind him that looked a bit like a periscope.

"Nana, you stay and take care of the luggage." After giving Belladonna an order, Green ran along the roof of the building and with Chikage to the target location.

After arriving at the roof where the crime occurred, Green was surprised to find that there were already people on the roof!

A squad of five, mostly warriors and archers, heavily armed, looking a bit like adventurers, but their helmets and standard half-body armor reveal their identity: guards of the security forces of the harbor!

The sudden appearance of Green and his party startled several guards who were in ambush! Without hesitation, several guards drew their weapons and aimed them at Green.

"So you're the real culprit behind it!?" A warrior with a shield roared and slammed his shield into Grimm!

Shield Strike!

There wasn't much space on the roof, seven people were crammed into the roof, and there wasn't much room for Green to dodge. However, Green could only see at a glance that the group of people in front of him was nothing more than a group of black iron.

The same black iron, compared to those adventurers who lick blood from the knife all day long, the combat experience of these militias is not at all to worry about.

"Strengthen!" Green raised his fist and threw a punch at the shield!

"Bang! ~" With a loud bang, the charging shield warrior flew back upside down at a faster speed, smashing into the archers who were aiming behind him!

"Wow!" With a burst of screams, the archers fell from the roof.

"Arthur!" Because his teammates were used as buffers, the shield warrior who did not fall from the roof of the building looked at his teammates who fell downstairs with a sad and angry face, and then turned around and looked at Green with anger on his face, "You killed Arthur!" ”

"No, he was knocked down by you." Green couldn't help but complain, "I say, why do you soldiers always like to cut people as soon as they meet?" Did I provoke you? ”

"Murderer! You can't fool me! You've been responsible for the recent murders in the port, right? The shield warrior said as he cautiously backed away, seemingly ready to flee at any moment.

Green couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Are you idiots?" Why do you think I'm the murderer? I'm also here to catch that murderer, okay? ”

Hearing Green's words, the shield warrior stopped and blinked, "Is there something wrong with your brain?" Why do you want to do this? ”

"Because of curiosity!" Green gave a thumbs up.

The shield warrior's expression was slightly distorted: "Curious? Do you think I'll believe it? ”

"Are you sure you're going to fight me here? I seem to be able to smell a whiff of blood, so it should be your teammates, right? Are you deliberately cheating your teammates? ”

At this moment, a roar of anger came from the alley downstairs: "What are you bastards doing up there!?" Hurry up and help! ”

Hearing that voice, the militia on the roof reacted. Hurriedly turned around and looked down.

In the alley, the archer who had fallen before fell fell in the corner, his fate unknown, while the female knight was struggling to dodge the attack of a cursed puppet.

At this time, several militiamen finally couldn't take care of Green, and hurriedly picked up the kettle under their feet according to the plan, and began to pour water below!

The kettle contains holy water that is very effective against the undead and various cursed items. The glowing holy water passed through the shower at the spout of the pot and turned into droplets of water in the sky, and sprinkled into the alley, and the whole alley was filled with holy light.

Bathed in holy water, the cursed puppet suddenly burst into black smoke! Cursed figures that are immune to physical attacks have completely negative resistance to holy water.

The battered Cursed Doll did not hesitate to abandon the female knight and pounce on the militia on the rooftops - the hatred shifted.

After the cursed puppet left, the female knight finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reserves, don't hurry up and save people!" The knight yelled at the nearby residential building, and at the same time, she quickly pulled up her clothes, took out a bottle of healing potion, wiped it on the wound on her waist, and bandaged herself.

Soon, a squad of militiamen ran out of the nearby residential building and went straight to the archers in the corner and began to treat them.

After bandaging the wound on her waist, the female knight rushed directly to the side of the residential building, grabbed the window of the residential building, and crawled towards the roof like a monkey.

On the rooftop, the cursed puppets are fighting with the militia.

All of the weapons and equipment in the hands of the militia were smeared with holy water, successfully negating the cursed puppet's "immunity to physical damage". Relying on equipment restraint, the four militiamen managed to drag down the cursed puppet!

Green and Thousand Shadows were watching like a crowd eating melons.

When the female knight climbed onto the roof, she looked at the young man and the maid who were watching from the sidelines, and was stunned for a second, and then turned her attention to the battle on the field.

"Is this the real body of a murderer?"

The female knight looked at the elusive doll, picked up the kettle filled with holy water at her feet, smeared some holy water on her weapons and equipment, and then rushed towards the doll with murderous anger.

"Let me come!" In order to lure the puppet out, the female knight did not carry holy water and did not wear armor. Now, the female knight who has coated her weapon with holy water intends to take revenge on all her previous revenge!

Physical immunity is a disgusting ability, but without the physical immunity, a cursed doll wouldn't be much stronger than a goblin.

Soon, the cursed puppet was killed under the siege of the militia!

Looking at the cursed puppet that disappeared into mid-air, the militia cheered.

"Victory!"

"We're going to kill that murderer!"

……

Looking at the cheering militia in front of him, Green was a little puzzled. It's just a doppelganger, is it worth being so happy?

It was at this moment that the female knight at the head finally shifted her attention to Green.

"Who are you? Why is it here? The female knight walked up to Grimm.

Green blinked and gave a thumbs up to the female knight: "I'm a hero of interest!" I heard that there were murderers here, so I came to investigate. ”

"A hero of interest?" The female knight looked at Green and the others with a strange expression.

At this moment, the shield warrior suddenly came out: "Captain, it was they who suddenly attacked just now, so Arthur fell." ”

The female knight raised an eyebrow.

Green couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Obviously, you guys did it first, okay?" And that archer was also knocked down by you. ”

"If it weren't for you, how could Arthur have fallen!?" The shield warrior said angrily.

"Tsk!" Green felt that this shield warrior could not communicate, so he pursed his lips, turned to the female knight and said, "By the way, what you just killed is just a clone, do you know where the body of the cursed doll is?" ”

"Doppelganger?" The female knight's eyes widened, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart, "You mean the cursed puppet...... Not dead? ”

"Yes." Green nodded, a smile in the corner of his eye, "You don't think that is the main body just now, do you?" ”

Hearing Green's words, the female knight's expression was very bad: "You...... How do you know it's a doppelganger? ”

"Because I've killed it once before." Green spread his hands, "And as an adventurer with interest, I still have this vision." ”

"Didn't you just say that you were a hero?"

"It's pretty much the same." Green smiled.

The female knight lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head: "Then this hero who is interested, I wonder if you are willing to assist us in arresting the cursed doll that disturbs the security of the city?" ”

"Oh?" Green blinked, a smile on his face, "I'm interested in the nature of that cursed doll, and if you allow me to take it away, it's not impossible to cooperate with each other." ”

"You want the doll's body?" The female knight was a little surprised, "What do you want that to do?" ”

"Does the reason matter?" Green asked, tilting his head.

Hearing Green's words, the female knight laughed: "Indeed, as long as you can restore stability to the city, it doesn't matter. ”

Greene: "So, happy to work with?" ”

Female Knight: "Happy cooperation!" ”
