18 Secret arrests

It's not disrespectful to Viscount Li, but he really didn't learn the lesson of losing one of his arms, there are still many relatively closed alleys in Fengxing Town after many expansions, and some can only accommodate two or three people passing side by side, if someone wants to create an ambush, it can be said that it is quite convenient. The stability of law and order in Windrun Town made the viscount not particularly concerned about Erin's safety, but for Erin, the danger did not come from the outlaws, but from the people who guarded the law.

The secret agents of the Sprelet Empire belong to this group of people.

On the afternoon of October 2, 1805, Erin had just finished her bookkeeping work in the warehouse, and she made a special detour to buy some daily necessities, but she happened to be blocked in a narrow alley.

There were four people who came, one of whom was dressed as a mercenary and was obviously the leader of the four, and the other three were no different from ordinary merchants, except that they did not carry large quantities of goods with them.

"Miss Erin Akayi, please stay." After blocking Erin's way, the "mercenary" showed her identification, which was printed with the Spleit royal family crest, the Cracked Sun Crest, to prove who they worked for, "You must recognize this, I won't introduce myself, and please cooperate." Standing next to him was a spy dressed as a merchant, who did not speak, and tapped his hand on the baggage he was carrying, making the sound of metal striking - inside was a weapon. Erin looked at the entrances and exits on both sides of the alley, which had been blocked by two other agents, and the people around her seemed to be avoiding this place as much as less, and in their eyes, there might just be some business disputes in the alley.

"We're just sending you back to Split, and we're not interested in what to do with it there, so please don't blame and complete the mission." The agent pretended to be polite, but was ready to take Erin's hand so that she could control it.

"Can I refuse to cooperate?" Erin said calmly, but her heart was beating a drum.

"As far as I know, it's better not to do it." The agent's tone began to become low, "The initiative is ours, there are many ways to take you back, and it is better for us to choose the one that does not bleed." ”

Erin looked back and forth again, and she did notice the predicament she was in.

"Also, there is no requirement for life or death on the wanted notice."

This sentence worked very well, and Erin originally wanted to shout loudly, but now she was in danger of even opening her mouth.

"Does the Empire allow arrests to be carried out outside its borders?" Erin asked pretending to be calm, actually trying to delay some time.

The agent saw through Erin's thoughts, "Please be sure to cooperate with us to avoid the pain of flesh and skin." After saying that, he was about to step forward and make a move, and several spies next to him also approached.

Erin understood that resistance was useless, and she didn't know what to do, so she tried to scream, but the agent had covered her mouth with her hand, and she couldn't make a sound at all, she wanted to give up, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed......

The agents took out ropes and shackles and prepared to arrest Erin—

"What people!"

One of the agents suddenly screamed, and before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground. The other spies were originally focused on Erin, but the changes behind them made them instantly overwhelmed, and when they saw their companions fall to the ground, they immediately put down Erin and concentrated on dealing with the threat from behind. But the moment they turned around, the agent with the baggage was also knocked down, and the weapons in the baggage were scattered to the ground.

Erin immediately knew that someone had come to save her, and immediately picked up a short sword and stepped on other weapons with her foot to prevent the agents from picking them up, and then she also saw that the person who came to save her was actually Milo.

Both sides of the alley began to crowd in.

The "mercenary" recognized the current situation of stealing chickens and rice, and stopped Milo's next move with his eyes and gestures, indicating that there was still room for negotiation - Milo understood what the other party meant, so he beckoned: "Come here, Erin, behind me." Erin took her sword and ran up behind Milo.

The two spies who fell to the ground stood up in embarrassment, and the crowd around them saw the ropes and shackles in their hands, and for a moment they were furious—thinking that they were going to plot against the pretty girl, several of them were ready to throw stones and sticks at the spies.

Melo stopped the angry crowd just in time, and took Erin's short sword and threw it at the agent's feet. "I don't think I need to do anything, if you don't leave Fengxing Town, the people here will be unkind to you, please think about your own safety." Milo said coldly, not deliberately raising her voice, but it made the agents feel a unique power.

"We're here to arrest the assassin ......," one of the agents tried to explain their purpose, but was stopped by a "mercenary" next to him.

The "mercenaries" understand that even if the truth is told now, there are all kinds of uncertainties and dangers in this place that is not under the jurisdiction of the Empire. "Let's go right away, and we'll leave Windwalk." He said, motioning for the mercenary next to him to pick up his weapons on the ground.

"Leave the weapon here!" "Don't leave without weapons!" "Never come to Windtown!" The angry crowd let out all sorts of roars.

"I suggest you do it, the people here do what they say, and we're not interested in what will happen to you, so please don't blame you." Milo said that the last two sentences were imitations of the way the spy spoke to Erin just now, and Erin suddenly understood that Milo did not save her by chance.

The agents had no choice but to give up their weapons, look at each other, and walk out of the alley in the opposite direction from Milo and Irene. The crowd automatically gave way and looked at them with angry eyes.

"I have no weapons, and I am being targeted by the locals, so I can't do it if I don't leave." Said the agent dressed as a businessman.

"Damn, I thought a woman would be easier to deal with." Another agent dressed as a businessman added.

The "mercenary" did not show any disappointment: "No way, who let us meet Milo Entekoman." ”

"Sure enough, it's him." The other agents were not surprised, they were already guessing Milo's identity when they first saw him. "Boss, with your skills, you can obviously subdue them there, why ......"

The "mercenary" interrupted this question with a gesture, showed a subtle but natural smile, and said to himself: "...... The Entekman family, the Akay family...... It always feels like things aren't that simple......"

On the other side, Melo in the alley calmed the angry crowd and persuaded the people to disperse and go about their business.

"Are you okay?" Mello asks Erin. At this time, Erin had recovered from the panic just now, but there were still many beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Well, it's okay." Erin said, her voice weak from the fear she had just had, "...... Thank you for saving me. ”

"It seems that the matter of your presence here is still known to the Empire's spies." Milo didn't respond to Erin's thanks, and as she spoke, she picked up the weapons scattered on the ground, collected them and gave them to Erin, "Pick one you're good at." ”

"Oh......" Feeling embarrassed, Erin didn't get a response to her own thanks, and hurriedly picked a dagger and pinned it to her body.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the fortress." After Milo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the alley, and after a few steps, he turned back to confirm that Erin was following, but only saw Erin stunned in place.

"Let's go, keep up." Mello spoke again, and the tone of his voice did not change.

Erin was awakened by the call, "Well, here we are. She replied and followed Milo in the direction of the fortress.

To the west, the sun is setting, and the four secret agents of the Sprelet Empire are heading towards their country in disappointment, they are just doing their job, and this result will obviously not let them give up, maybe the next group of spies will soon set off.

And on the roof above the alley just now, a canary shook its head very spiritually, looking at the sunset. The canary saw everything that had just happened, and she flapped her wings a few times and flew towards the fortress, thinking as she flew:

"I can rest assured."
