After that, things were very simple, the mayor's men explained everything, and Geer went to Helan City to report to the city lord's mansion what happened in this town.

With the prestige of emerald sorrow, Helan City's security team took it very seriously, and a team was quickly formed and rushed to Donglan Town before sunset.

It was only after the arrival of a professional security officer with a recruited accountant that Cizer and his family gained a deeper understanding of what was going on in the town.

"According to our investigation, the mayor of Donglan Town illegally mined the magic stone rich mineral source and forcibly enslaved more than 300 civilians, of whom 27 died because of improper protection measures, 4 were executed because they resisted illegal recruitment, and 13 people starved to death because of the lack of labor and lost their economic resources. After that, he transported the mined raw ore directly to the black market for sale, and according to our analysis of the accounts, a total of 57 tons of raw ore were sold, and more than 120 tons were not sold. ”

Cizer and the others couldn't help but grit their teeth, they only now realized that it was too cheap to deal with him so quickly just now.

It's not a pity for this kind of person to die!

It's not too much to cut it with a thousand cuts!

"Because of the rush to sell, the price of these raw ores on the black market has been pushed extremely low, less than half of the average selling price. This time, we paid a total of 170,000 gold coins, of which only more than 70,000 were obtained from the sale of raw ore, and the rest were obtained by various improper means. ”

Cizer never imagined that it would be the first time in his life that he had seen so many gold coins in this situation. At this time, there was not the slightest envy or surprise in his heart, and there was only a faint sadness in his eyes.

Looking at the bags of gold coins behind the security officer, which had to be loaded on a trailer because they were too heavy, and ploughed two deep rut marks on the ground, the people of the town all scolded when they saw this scene.

"Damn, he's got so much gold!

"My family's farmland was also forcibly expropriated by him! Now our family is going to starve to death!"

"He still owes money to our store, and I've never seen him pay it back!"

“......”

However, Anna was obviously not moved by this scene, and had no intention of staying, and after handing over to the arriving security officer, Cizer and the others got on their horses and headed back.

On the way, Cizer couldn't help but ask Anna, "What did you say to that security officer?" As he was leaving, Cizer saw Anna whisper something in the security officer's captain's ear, which made the expression on his face very frightened.

"Nothing. Anna didn't look back, so that Cizer couldn't see the expression on her face, "I'm just telling him to be careful, if that group of people is treated unfairly, I don't guarantee that he won't be treated the same way with me." ”

Cizer was a little confused, he couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence at this time, although he was much more precocious than his peers, but in this world, he still had a lot to learn.

Gell rode forward and patted Cizer on the shoulder with a smile and turned to Anna.

"Captain, Cizer is still a little younger, this kind of thing will always happen after a long life, there is no need to rush to teach him. Gehr's tone was full of helplessness, probably because he didn't know what to do with his unkind captain.

"He asked himself, and I don't think there's anything wrong with understanding it sooner. Anna said coldly, without any tactfulness.

Cizer looked at Gehr a little angrily, he understood what he said, and it was clear that he was looking down on himself.

"Alright. Gehr rubbed Cezel's head, and it was only then that he realized that Geer's neckline was hiding a deep scar, "What Captain Anna wants to say is that this world is not black and white as you imagine, most people live at the junction of gray, and this is not something that people can choose for themselves." When you see more in the future, you will understand the meaning of this sentence. ”

Cizer was silent, and at this moment he suddenly remembered the green-clothed girl in the Tavern of the West Side. The business of selling horses is actually not easy to do, illegal and not very profitable, but she still reached an agreement with herself to exchange a demon badge for a silver coin, for the anger in her heart that will not be extinguished. Although Cizer has not yet encountered such a demon, he has remembered this agreement in his heart, and he has not forgotten the responsibility on his shoulders.

"What's going on with the rebels? It's the first time I've done a mission related to it, and I haven't even looked at the materials about it before. Cizer seemed to understand the previous question, but his question was far from over.

"The rebels are another matter. This time, Gehr's expression was much more serious, "The rebels are a group of people organized by civilians with the intention of overthrowing the rule of the Empire, and they will only rely on the protection of civilian relatives to survive when the Empire does not want to make a big move. ”

It can be seen that Geer has a strong hostility towards the rebels, although Cizer has not contacted them, but the empire is the only obstacle to defend humanity from the invasion of demons, and he also looks down on the group of guys who only know how to hold back the empire in the rear.

If you have the ability to come over and fight the demons, what's the matter with dragging your feet in the rear?

Gehr chatted with Cizer along the way, and for some reason, this guy's energy was always so strong, it seemed like an unsolved mystery.

It's always a boring thing to go back, especially after Anna announces that everyone is going to get back to the Night Castle as soon as possible, and Cezel's inner calculus is completely broken.

"Why is there such a hurry? Don't we have two more days to do the mission?" asked Cezel.

"Something happened to the Night Castle! The demons have a situation of attacking again, all the personnel who are on the mission outside must rush back as soon as possible, and the violators will be dealt with as defection. Anna said coldly, and Cizer suddenly felt a cool breeze blow on the back of his erect neck, and he quickly shrank back.

He had no doubt about the truth or falsity of Anna's words, and no one was happy to joke about this kind of thing, so her sentence "Deal with it as a defector" was naturally true.

Well, it looks like I'll have to come back next time to visit Old Merlin.

Cizer thought to himself, but what he didn't expect was that the situation in the Night Castle was even more serious than he had imagined!

In General Smith's luxurious office, behind the desk that was inundated with piles of papers, a figure flickered, and upon closer inspection, it was revealed that it was Smith signing his name on the document at a breakneck pace.

"Wilson, how much food do we have?" Smith was able to maintain a calm tone even in this environment, except that everything he asked was a matter of survival for the Night Castle!

"It's enough for three months of military rations in the Night Fort, and if there is a real war, it's no problem to eat it for more than four months. The secretary's thoughtful answer revealed a bloody breath.

"Not enough!" Smith frowned, "Take my token, go to Helan City and other towns to recruit, and make sure that there is enough food within a year!"

"Yes!" the male secretary turned and walked away, as another man in the same clothes took his place.

At such times, it is extremely important to ensure that the orders of the Supreme Governor are conveyed in a timely manner.

"Has anyone investigated the movements of the demon army, and how far are we from it?"

"Report! The demon army has reached a hundred and twenty kilometers away, and it will reach the city in about two days. ”

"Two days...... There's still time. ”

At this time, Smith, who was behind the pile of papers, suddenly paused, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"There's a man named Cezel in the Emerald Sorrow, call him quickly, I have a task for him. ”

Cizer had been on a mission to the rear one day, and was currently on his way back to the Night Castle after receiving orders. ”

"What!?" Smith suddenly raised his head, revealing bloodshot eyes, startling the new secretary.

The secretary trembled and repeated his previous words, and in the process, Smith's gaze never took off his face.

"Got it, you commanded him to go down, and as soon as he returned to the Night Castle, you would bring him to me, understand?"

"Understood!" the male secretary walked quickly out of the office, thinking that General Smith was so different from his usual life today. A person who was so calm in the past, but now he is so stern, is it because the big war is coming?

Smith sat down behind the desk, he was really too busy for a while, how could he forget such an important thing!

Alas, it's too late to say anything, so I can only pray that he will be safe.

Smith once again buried his head in the mountains of documents, the night is really a big town, and the vitality of the city is like that of people, seemingly simple, but in fact complex to death. He'd be crazy to expect those guys to run the city all day long.

Smith hasn't stopped rebuilding the town since he entered the Night Keep, but the sudden attack of the demons has forced many of his plans to advance, and some of them have to be abandoned.

"Send me all the equipment that I used to press as soon as possible! In the past, it was to prevent them from causing trouble, but now, let them all move for me! There will be a lot of military exploits to be made immediately, and I hope they will all be excited!"

"Send all the scouts in the city, I want to know the movement of every step of the demon army! Don't let go of even the kind of information that a fly flew into their barracks today! Don't be afraid of losses! The information of the demon clan is completely worth their lives! I will give four times the compensation to all the scouts who died in battle!"

"Isn't the reinforcement of Xicheng over yet? Tell them that if it can be completed in two days, I'll give them double the gold coins! But if they dare to cut corners, pull them out and let the demons tear them apart." ”

"Find me the top fifty legion commanders, I want to assign the military affairs of the city defense, if anyone dares to be absent, I will talk to him about military law!"

“......”

Smith usually seems to be a kind person, and he doesn't seem to care about anything, and everyone is talking behind his back about whether he is in vain.

But when it comes to wartime, then he is the supreme commander of the Night Castle, holding the authority from the Imperial military, and holding the most important border defense line of the Empire.

As long as he looked everywhere, whether it was the unruly Red Tiger or the pretentious Fallen Light, he had to bow his head and obey orders.

If there's a mountain ahead, smash it in one go!

If there's a sea ahead, make a concerted effort to split it!

If there is a crowded demon army in front of you, then it will be better than looking, whose sword is harder!

Smith's cold eyes swept over, illuminating the already somewhat dim office for a moment, and everyone present lowered their heads and held their breath, and no one dared to look up at it.

At this moment, he is the master of the night!
