Chapter 62: Little People, Big Secrets
The dungeon was destroyed, dozens of captured invaders, and there was nowhere to hold them.
Garrison Officer Mantha White was forced to separate two squads of guards to keep an eye on them. This invisibly wasted a lot of combat power.
At this time, a large group of goblins gathered outside the level, eyeing the enemy, could attack at any time, and at that time, the power to guard them will only weaken again.
And they are all strong and healthy, and their combat power is good. As long as they are not careful, once they are allowed to get out of trouble, the guards will be exposed to the enemy, and the future will be endless.
Before falling asleep, Yun Lang deliberately ordered them to be executed, which was already in mind. He was afraid that Mansha would have scruples and would not dare to do so, so he gave this order so clearly.
Of course, Mansa is also in favor of this....... However, after all, she is not too cold-blooded, and it is a matter of life and death for dozens of people, so she has to be extra cautious.
When Mansha got closer, she noticed that most of the captives were tied to the pillars, and a few of the stronger ones were still in cages. This is probably enough to deal with ordinary ordinary people, but they are all second-order or even third-order powerhouses!
After a cursory inspection, Mansha was quite satisfied. Before leaving, he called the two squad leaders who were in charge of guarding the prisoners.
"You two, cheer me up, don't make a hole at this time. If they dare to disobey orders and try to resist, you can be put to death. At this point, she had to give more freedom.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that we will act with caution and will not be merciful!" one of the squad leaders solemnly assured.
Mantha nodded, lowered her voice again, and said to the two, "If the goblins start attacking the level in a big way, you guys will go according to the plan. Then, immediately rush to the front for reinforcements!"
The eyes of the two suddenly froze, and they all received their orders.
Just as Mansha was about to leave, a guard guarding the captives came running briskly and whispered something to his squad leader. Then, the squad leader called out to Mansha.
"Your Excellency, please stay. Just now, one of the captives claimed to be from the White family, and he said that there are some things to say to you, do you gradually ...... him" Although the team leader just paraphrased, there were many other meanings in his tone.
When Mansha heard the news, she hesitated for a moment and wanted to go and see. Accompanied by the squad leader, she quickly met the captive.
The captive was already older, forty or fifty years old, his hair was already gray, probably because of his good diet, and his complexion was quite good, a little younger than his actual age.
He is a second-order warrior, and he should still be a pampered figure.
He seemed to know Mansha, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly struggled and cried out, "Mansha, it's me...... I'm Iruka, Baron Jester's Guard of Honor, and I spoke to you at a banquet at the White House a year ago. ”
Mansha thought about it carefully, vaguely remembered this person, and nodded slightly.
"Your Excellency, now that you have recognized me, you should understand what Master Jester meant. You probably don't know that this new lord has offended a great man, a terrible being that even the Baron cannot provoke...... His fate in the future will certainly be very miserable, and I suggest that you quickly draw a line with him, and it is best to assist the Baron to get rid of him together. In this way, if you can get the appreciation of that big man, maybe you will be able to soar......"
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't say any more, because Mansha's smile had made him stop unconsciously.......
"Mansha, what are you laughing at? If it weren't for the White family's affection, I wouldn't have told you this...... Hmph, in the near future, if you provoke that big man, your branch of the White family will be cut off forever!" Although his face was bruised and staggered, and although he couldn't even move now, as soon as he talked about that big man, he would be extremely excited and his self-confidence surged.
“....... Haha, that's it?" Mansha asked, holding back her smile.
"More than 20 years ago, I also fought side by side with your father, and I am also your elder, so your attitude is really ...... Lack of upbringing!" Iruka gasped with anger on his face.
"I just let you finish your words because of the familiar situation, and if it were someone else, I would have ordered you to be executed......"
"You...... I am Baron Jester's Guard of Honor, your father's friend......"
"That's enough!" Mansha was a little impatient and roared, "Not to mention, since you already know that the new lord is staying here, but still attacking, these alone are enough to put you on the gallows." What's more, you are still my prisoner, and it is reasonable for me to directly order you to be executed. The reason why I kept you was not because I knew you well, but because the lord didn't give an order!"
"Mansha, I advise you to be sober...... What if he is a lord, this is Shining Gold Town, without the consent of the three barons, he is a foreign lord, just a good-looking vase! You don't know, the previous lord did not die of illness, but ......." His mental state seemed to be a little bad, and in a hurry, he said something that should not be said.
"What? What do you mean...... Didn't the previous lord die of illness?" Mansha stepped forward in shock, her eyes widened with anger, and she asked.
"I ...... I...... This...... I said something wrong, I don't know anything......" For a moment, he was sweating and panicking.
"Say!" Mansha roared, "I don't want to torture you for the sake of knowing you, but if you don't want to speak, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Previously, he was older, and he was a member of the White family, and the guards still took some care of him, after all, he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, Mansha was there, and the guards couldn't blame the guards for thinking too much.
When the guards interrogated the captives one by one, those who were not very honest were beaten until they were honest. He is the only one who is an alternative, the guards don't ask him too much, and even if he has any requirements, as long as it is not too excessive, the guards take special care of him.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be able to easily see the busy Mansha.
It was this preferential treatment that gave him the illusion that Mansa White, the garrison here, must have known about him and taken special care of him.
In particular, after he secretly compared himself with the other captives, he seemed a little detached, and he was secretly a little proud...... So, in the fluttering, he got a little carried away.
What's more, he took it for granted that Mansa was afraid of Baron Jester, and then he was also afraid of him...... In his opinion, as long as he explained that he was powerful, and then hinted a little, this "little girl" would have to obediently do what he wanted. In this way, you can be regarded as a member of the White family......
However, when Mansha showed obvious disdain, not only was he still greatly disappointed, but it also deeply pierced his self-esteem, and he said something irrelevant as soon as his mind was hot......
"I ...... I can't say...... Mansha, don't ask any questions, this is for your own good, but also for the good of the entire White family, after all, you are a member of the White family, don't ......." He disregarded his demeanor and pleaded.
However, Mansha did not stop asking, took a step back, glared at the two guards on the side, and then reprimanded coldly: "You have disappointed me so much, I said that I would interrogate every captive carefully, can't you even do this thing?"
"Your Excellency...... Please forgive ......." The two squad leaders were panicked and also broke out in a cold sweat.
"This is the last time!" Mansha didn't want to hold them accountable in public, so she ordered instead: "In half an hourglass, I want to know all his secrets, and I can't kill him, if you don't have enough healing potions here, you can go to your squadron leader and apply for more!"
Mansha's order made the two squad leaders a little creepy. However, they still gritted their teeth and received the order in order to make up for their mistakes.
This matter is getting more and more difficult.......
If the previous lord was really murdered, and the White family was also involved in this matter, then Mansa would have to think about it first and change her surname as soon as possible......
