The reason why Allen gave the order to stop the pursuit was that in the attack just now, the escort team fell into chaos in the sneak attack, but the casualties were not serious, Allen and their manpower was too limited, plus the private soldiers secretly recruited by Steven were more than thirty people in total, if the church guards of more than 100 people were blocked in the hole, there might be a chance to wipe them out, but in this open environment now, it is almost impossible to annihilate them all, most of the guards have already broken out and either grabbed the horses and fled, or scattered and ran into the wilderness, if you want to not let go of an enemy, it is impossibleOn the other hand, Allen, the three targets of their operation have all been caught, and they don't care about the lives of the others, this ambush mission has been successfully completed, and now is the time to consider retreating.

"Alan, what's next?"

It wasn't until the Holy See's guards had escaped cleanly that Elvis asked, now that four of the five murderers had been caught, the mission was basically completed from the perspective of revenge. The Holy See guards who escaped in the battle just now will undoubtedly go to Lua City to report the news, and Bishop Dennis, who got the news, is probably furious, and the surrounding area of Lua City will face a big sweep, and the regular army of Higg and the Knights Templar stationed nearby will be dispatched, which is not as easy to deal with as the church guards, so they must decide to withdraw as soon as possible.

"Take the leather goods and go back to Lua City. ”

Alan thought about it for a moment and then made a decision.

"I'm afraid that the church and the Higg military will want and arrest us everywhere, wouldn't it be too dangerous to go back?"

Harvey asked, puzzled.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place, the next target of the Holy See's search will be the horse bandits led by Emaar, we have nothing to do with the horse bandits, and there is no similarity, we will be very safe to stay in Lua City, no one will suspect that the horse bandits are a group of us Yus people pretending. And our revenge is not yet complete, there is another enemy in Lua, and this man is the leader of the five, and we must capture him together. ”

Alan explained his decision, and the group had no more objections, and returned to their makeshift camp with the three captives, where Steven and a few men were still guarding Lawson.

After returning to the camp, the group did not stop long, and that night the four captives were drugged, packed in a box prepared in advance, and immediately set off to drive the car back to the inn where the leather goods were stored.

"Coming back from what happened here, I believe that the inspection of Lua City will be very strict, and we are afraid that we will have to find a way. Allow, Alan, what do you think? Did you hear what I said?"

After dinner, several people sat down in chairs to rest, and Elvis said worriedly. The mission of catching the murderer has been smooth sailing so far, but the next step may be full of uncertainties, and you must plan in advance, but he found that Alan next to him was a little absent-minded and didn't seem to listen to him at all.

"I've already thought about this, Steven has arranged for someone to go into the city to contact Taylor, the Hepburn family's business agent in Lua City, and he will help us get this shipment to the city without a problem. ”

Alan kept looking out the window in a daze, and only when he heard Elvis calling himself did he retract his thoughts and tell his plan.

"The Hepburn family's business agent has so much energy? I don't think that Gerald has any other skills than a little more tricks. ”

Elvis was clearly unconvinced.

"In the ancient city of Ao, the influence of the Hepburn family is indeed limited, but here his words are only more effective than the city lord of Lua City. ”

Alan affirmed that he was right, and the next evening, the messenger returned, along with a few of Taylor's cronies.

"In order to prevent the horse bandits from mixing into the city to make trouble, the gates of Lua City have been put under martial law, and the people and vehicles entering the city must go through a strict check, Lord Taylor said that if he is not accompanied by his people, we will not be able to enter the city at all. ”

The messenger reported to Steven.

"Tell them that we're going to go into town early tomorrow morning. ”

The next day, as soon as dawn Allen and they drove thirty carriages on the way into the city, along the way they had already seen several batches of heavily armed troops, the army when passing by the convoy, they all observed them with suspicious eyes, and even someone intercepted the convoy to prepare for inspection, at this time the value of the people sent by Taylor was reflected, they walked to the officer who led the team, and showed the pass with the seal of the Hepburn family, the officer took it and simply glanced at it, and when he saw the seal on it, he immediately returned it to them respectfully, and waved it away。

In addition to the army on the ground, they also saw two griffin knights flying by one after another, and the knight's spear hanging from the griffin's back glittered in the sun, giving people a sense of majesty and solemnity.

"It looks like the Knights Templar are alarmed as well. ”

Alan put his hand on the pergola, looked at the back of the griffin who was quickly moving away, and said, "Only the Templar Order has griffin knights in this world, so the griffin knights who appeared at this time must have been sent by the God of War Wings Hussar Regiment stationed nearby under the Templar Knights to assist in the search for horse bandits."

"Looks like we've got a lot of trouble this time. ”

Elvis laughed.

"Let them toss outside the city, we're going into the city. ”

Alan withdrew his gaze and continued to ride his horse.

In this way, walking and stopping, in the afternoon, the gates of Lua City appeared in their field of vision again, and in the distance, Alan had already seen the city walls lined with swords and guns, flags fluttering, rows of soldiers patrolling above the city walls, and all the war equipment was guarded by people nearby, a tense atmosphere of the great enemy. The pain that Higg's civil strife had brought to the city had faded, but they had not lost the sense of crisis back then, so when they heard that the horse bandit Emaar had appeared nearby, the city immediately became tense again.

When Allen's convoy arrived near the city gate, the pedestrian vehicles waiting to enter the city in front of them had already formed a long line, and it was close to evening when it was their turn, and under the leadership of Taylor's men, the inspection procedures for them entering the city were much simplified, and the soldiers in charge of the inspection only observed and screened the group, and asked each of them to say a few words, and when they heard Allen and them all speak with a thick Yuss accent, the soldiers who checked boldly let them go.

After entering the city, you can still see a lot of patrols with guns and armor on the streets, although there are still many pedestrians on the streets, but there are fewer than in the previous days, it seems that the horse bandits have not only affected the security outside the city, but also the atmosphere in the city, and Bishop Dennis, who was about to celebrate in a big way, does not know how to be angry now.
