Chapter 23: The Ending

Led by Panda and the others, the army of Pollock City soon came to the place where they had discovered Alan Vena and his disciples.

On the way, they naturally passed by the battlefield just now, the vines generated by Cervantes' magic power have not completely dissipated, and the corpses killed by those traps on the ground are still lying there in a row, looking at these corpses dressed in black, Sheriff Ron's eyelids jumped several times, and he was secretly glad that he had not acted rashly before.

Although after meeting Lulu and Io, after questioning, he has determined that it is not a peerless master who committed the Seahorse Gang's extermination case before, but a group of elite killers, but for him, this is actually worse.

The peerless master is of course terrifying, but unless this master is crazy, or has a compelling reason, he will definitely not challenge the entire Pollock City on his own. Maybe he is very strong, strong enough to kill all the troops of Pollock City with one person and one sword, and kill Pollock City into a sea of blood, but behind Pollock City is the Molai Federation, and the Molai Federation and the Terella Kingdom are reliable allies who have been married more than once, how can he fight, can he still fight against two countries on his own?

In this world, it is not a very new thing for the strong to kill people and sell goods, and even to destroy the door and slaughter the village, but the "slaughter of the city" is a forbidden area, and no one can violate it.

There must be many rich and powerful people living in the city, and these people often have friendships and relatives with other rich and powerful people, and slaughter a city, not knowing how many rich and noble families they will offend, how many nobles and how many masters they will offend.

A good man is hard to beat with his fists, and he is remembered by so many people, even if the life of a legendary strong man will not be easy.

But if it's a group of elite killers, it's a different story entirely. Behind this group of killers, there must be an extremely large force - perhaps Thrace, which is at war with the Federation. They don't have any scruples about doing things, let alone killing all these soldiers, even if they really massacre the city in Pollock City, it's not impossible.

Ron was a hard-working man who read a lot of books, especially history books. He looked at the history of the war in the past, and the records of the massacre of the city in it were not uncommon!

So when he asked Lulu and Io, he hesitated a little, wondering if he should continue to pretend that he didn't see anything and forget about it.

He thought about it, and felt that if the other party was hostile to Pollock City, even if he pretended to be a turtle, it would be useless. On the other hand, if there is no real hostility on the part of the other side, then it may see the arrival of the army and retreat directly.

So he finally made up his mind, gathered all the manpower he could command, and nearly three hundred people hurled to the dock area, ready to rely on the advantage of numbers to force back the group of killers.

Although he had already made up his mind, he really didn't have much confidence. At this moment, seeing the corpses of the group of black-clothed killers, I suddenly felt a drum in my heart, and I had to take deep breaths one after another, and keep saying to myself, "Don't worry, it's okay", so that the panic in my heart was suppressed.

Of course, the main reason why he didn't panic so much was because these people were dead.

There is nothing to be afraid of a dead person, let alone just a group of killers, even if it is a legendary powerhouse, it is just a corpse when it dies.

Well, forget about the legendary powerhouse, maybe he can turn into a necromantic creature or something......

Ron was a little cranky, and his steps followed closely after the bloodied adventurer "Mr. Bear", carefully traversing the area covered in vines, taking care not to let the seemingly spiritual vines entangle him.

He recognized that it was a druid's spell, could it be that one of the four druids was not low?

Forget it, anything is good, as long as they can fight, whatever!

He looked at Mr. Xiong with some concern, this poor orc warrior with an ugly appearance was covered in blood, the blood had not dried yet, it was dripping, and it exuded a pungent fishy smell, which made his heart beat a drum.

What kind of battle did this man go through to get to this point?

Is the blood on his body his own or someone else's?

I didn't see a corpse covered in blood just now, could it be that the person who was cut by him fled?

Considering the damage to his clothes, or was he injured but healed by that druid?

With such a serious injury, even if it is cured, it will be greatly damaged, can he fight again?

One question after another surfaced in Ron's mind, constantly undermining his confidence.

But in the end, he was determined and did not back down.

People are mixed in the rivers and lakes, and they always want to save face. He was also the sheriff of Pollock City, and if he had pretended to be stupid before, now that he had made up his mind and entered the sewers, there was no room to retreat.

Even if you die, you must die face forward, and you can't be hurt in the back!

Ron gritted his teeth and took deep breaths, his steps finally calming down.

But his determination was in vain.

When the Pandas led the soldiers of Pollock City to the place where they had met the Thracian Assassins, they saw a secret underground base, but the building was empty.

They searched inside and out, only to find hundreds of nezumi corpses piled up in the basement, and a tunnel leading to a secret dock outside the city, but nothing else that could explain the identity of the group.

These people were very cautious, and took all the materials they could, leaving not even a single piece of paper, or a single piece of jewelry, weapons, or anything like that.

And those Assassins who died in the trap also had nothing on them to prove their identity.

At noon, after a detailed search, Ron finally determined that this trip was almost in vain.

...... In any case, from the available evidence, it is enough to prove that the group of black-clothed assassins are the murderers who committed the Seahorse Gang murder, and even enough to prove that they are not good.

So when he went to the Earl's Court to report, the report said: The identity of the enemy has not yet been determined, but it can be determined that it comes from a large organization, and it is very likely that it is at the national level. Because of the rapid dispatch of the army, they had to retreat in advance, and no matter what conspiracy there was, they could not be carried out in time.

Count Pollock was very pleased with this, praised Ron, and gave each of the soldiers a gold coin to the soldiers, and of course he did not forget to give Panda and the others a rich gift.

After deciding these matters, he wrote a letter to the messenger to hurry to the Norma Line and deliver it to his son, who had brought the main army of the Pollock family to battle.

In this letter, he introduced the risks encountered by Pollock City this time and asked his son to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.

At the end of the letter, he said: "Dear Simon, the Norma Line is Federal, and Pollock City is our own, and in order to defend the Norma Line, so that Pollock City is empty, and even encounters this danger, the gain outweighs the loss. The army of the Pollock family should be used to protect the Pollock family themselves!"
