Thomas caught the cultists before midnight, there were three people from the north, claiming to be followers of the god of chaos madorak, their doctrine was to bring chaos to the world, and when the guards broke down the door, the group was gathering to discuss poisoning the well in the city, and they were caught and stolen.

The people on the guard side were excited, because it proved that their captain had been holding on to the right thing before, and they finally succeeded in solving the big case without being favored by the others, and arrested them before the other party could do anything, and the members of the guard couldn't wait to see the wonderful expressions on the faces of the city council officials tomorrow morning.

However, Thomas Ho was never happy, from the moment he caught the group of cultists, his brows never let go again, even the vice captain Damon did not hear the congratulations, the intuition told the captain of the guard that something was wrong, tonight it all seemed to be a little too smooth, after the evil incident in the restaurant, Thomas had speculated that there was a group of cultists lurking in the city, he had been looking for this group for a long time, until now he finally found it, it stands to reason that he should be relieved, but the captain of the guard looked at the three young men in front of him whose faces were full of madness and finally realized where the sense of disobedience in his heart came from。

This group of cultists is so typical, they wear the cultists' favorite black cloaks, paint strange patterns on their bodies, mutter the names of evil gods made up from nowhere, and plan crazy and evil things like all cultists, almost writing on their faces that I am a cultist.

No, this is by no means the group that he has been tracking down in the city before, although he has not seen each other, but after such a long investigation, Thomas has also made a profile of that group, the other party's behavior outside the restaurant that night is undoubtedly extremely crazy, but behind the madness there is caution and restraint, as if a precise loss of control.

And that incident happened, the captain of the guard searched the whole city at the first time, but did not find any clues, Gagarin's whereabouts are unknown, Thomas can accept it, after all, the old magician is also half of Guderis's native, and the other group of cultists who came from afar would never have disappeared so cleanly without the help of local forces.

Thinking of this, the captain of the guard could already be sure that the three young men in front of him were not the group he had been looking for, and a bad feeling appeared in Thomas's heart, if these three guys were just bait thrown by the other party, what was the purpose of the group?

The other party will not give the guard a big gift for no reason, and the uneasy feeling in the heart of the captain of the guard who caught the three cultists in front of him is getting stronger and stronger, the ferocity and cunning of this group of people have exceeded Thomas's expectations, the captain of the guard seems to have thought of something, and his face suddenly changed, "Leave two people in charge of escorting, and the rest of the people will follow me back to the station, immediately!

The members of the Second Guard were still immersed in the joy of successfully completing the capture, and they didn't understand why the captain's face was so gloomy, only Damon, who was closest to Thomas, faintly noticed a trace of uneasiness in the former's words, and then he heard Thomas say, "No, it's too slow to rush back like this, Morell, you are responsible for leading the team, and Daemon and I will go first." ”

The deputy captain nodded, did not ask the reason, just silently followed behind Thomas, he could feel the anxiety in the heart of the captain of the guard at the moment, the latter is a fifth-order swordsman, once he runs with all his strength, it is still a little difficult for Daemon to keep up, fortunately, they soon came to a main road, Thomas stopped a carriage, and the two of them got into the carriage and rushed in the direction of the garrison.

"I may have just made one of the worst mistakes of my life. Thomas in the carriage was silent for an unknown amount of time before finally speaking, "If something happens in the office, I will resign as captain, and I hope that you will remain objective and impartial, and report everything that happened today to the council truthfully." ”

"Good. Despite his surprise, Dimon agreed, but then he finally couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"Remember the group of cultists I told you about before? They're likely targeting the garrison tonight. Thomas said with a solemn expression.

Dimon frowned, "But I don't understand, didn't we just catch those guys?"

The captain of the guard shook his head, "No, it's just some inconsequential little shrimp, it is impossible for those three hairy little imps to force Gagarin to this point, and it is impossible to do what happened that night, we also analyzed that group of people before, at that time you also thought that they had considerable resources in Gudris City, and we even suspected that nobles were involved, so tonight's incident is actually a trap." ”

Thomas paused, then continued, "That group is really bold, the purpose of that letter is to remove our armed forces from the garrison, if their target is the garrison, everything can be explained, so tonight's incident is entirely because of me, you follow my orders, follow me, and the other three teams also believe me, so they participated in this city-wide search, this is my dereliction of duty." ”

Damon fell silent when he heard this, and after a moment he raised his head and said with some difficulty, "You don't have to tell me these things, and you don't have to tell anyone else, we can treat this incident as an accident......

The captain of the guard interrupted him with a calm expression, " Wrong is wrong, since I received the first letter twenty-six years ago, I shouldn't have been lucky, in fact, I know better than anyone else in my heart, there is never a free lunch in this world, but after so many years, I feel that since no one is hurt, then the person who sent the letter must have no malicious intent, and what is even more ridiculous is that I have been deceiving myself to comfort myself, and at the same time swearing that once I find a problem in the letter, I will never follow the above advice again, but sometimes bad things do not always appear bad, just like tonight, I thought I was doing the right thing, but in fact I made a big mistake and became an accomplice of the bad guys。 ”

Dimon subconsciously wanted to refute, but at this moment he heard someone shouting on the side of the road, "Oh no, it's on fire!"

Thomas's face changed suddenly, and he poked his head out of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw what seemed to be a flame burning in the direction of the garrison.
