Chapter Seventy-Eight: Action
News of the burn of the banquet supplies soon reached Ravenwood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Highness, most of this was done by Shure's gang. When the Knight of York heard the news, someone popped into his mind, and he couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing.
According to the news that came back, because of the timely firefighting, the entire hull did not suffer much damage, but the fire in the cabin burned all the materials inside, and the crew also found the lock at the hatch, which must have been opened and thrown there, which obviously indicates that someone deliberately set fire.
Now the only person who is secretly doing such a thing is Shure, who is the most suspicious.
"I agree with Lord York, too. Chris's face turned a little pale, because there was so much to be done in one theft. Shure's movements were too big and too fast to be a little unexpected, but judging from the style of acting, it was indeed what Shure would do.
Leon didn't speak, he already had the answer in his heart, and now he needed to figure out a way to solve it, and he had to act on Shure's provocation.
There was silence in the administrative hall, and the two of them looked at the prince, unable to think of a good countermeasure for a while.
"York, you go get all the patrolmen back, and then train for a day. Leon thought quietly for a moment, and after careful consideration, he had an idea in his heart.
The town's troops are not much, except for the archers and castle guards, the patrol team is only ten people, and they are all local townspeople, under the one-year training of York, everyone has more or less some combat effectiveness, although it is not as good as the regular soldiers, but it is more than enough to deal with the ruffians, Leon does not need them to kill, just need to stop most of the ruffians, he and York are the main force.
"Your Highness, this ......" York probably guessed the prince's thoughts, this time he summoned the people back halfway, and had to train for another day, in order to restore their combat effectiveness. This is something that the Yorkie Knight has been looking forward to for a long time, and now that it has been realized, I always feel a little strange in my heart, because it is a choice that I have to make out of desperation.
"That's right, I decided to go to White Mist City to teach these ruffians a lesson. Leon spoke his mind directly.
Now the town needs a stable environment, he doesn't want to provoke others, but others provoke him, Leon can't ignore it, Shure people will not stop because of this move, if he doesn't take any action, Shure will only become more and more arrogant, and what he will do in the end, no one can predict, the best way is to hit him hard now.
To do it, it will definitely attract attention. Leon's second purpose is also to make it for others to see. If a ruffian can bully the town at will, what will the Earl think, whether he will help or take advantage of the fire, I'm afraid the latter is the only one the Earl will choose, and the life of the town will be even more sad.
"Your Highness, now that our relationship with the Count is so stiff, although the patrol is not a regular soldier, he will definitely bite this matter, it is too risky to do so. The knight of York disagreed, the prince was going to White Mist City in person this time, and it would definitely be okay to teach Shure a lesson, but the earl would not be so good at talking, and once caught, all the prince's plans would become a bubble.
"York, we can't stop doing this because it's dangerous, and if we don't bother with it, what will happen next?" Leon explained his reasoning.
York knew exactly what was going to happen.
"Then I'll just go, I didn't give him a long memory last time, and this time it will definitely not happen again. York thought for a moment, as long as the prince was not caught, even if he was caught, it could only be regarded as a crime of hurting people, and it was a big deal to stuff some money into the jailer, and this matter would be solved.
"If only it were that simple. Leon shook his head, Shure had suffered a loss once, and he would not make the same mistake again. What's more, if he dares to set fire, it shows that he is ready, and there will definitely be many people around him, and going alone with York will only increase Shure's arrogance.
Leon asked York to get the patrol back, so that they could lure the people around Shure away, and leave the rest to the two of them, without any problems at all, and even if they moved quickly, they could finish everything before the soldiers arrived.
"Is that really the decision, Your Highness?" asked York one last time, knowing that once the prince had made up his mind, he would not change it.
"It's decided. Leon did not hesitate in the slightest, he had a roughly feasible plan, the patrol would put on the clothes of his townspeople, carry no weapons, and if any soldiers arrived on the way, they would leave in the crowd, and even if they were caught by the count, they would not be charged with invasion.
York didn't say much more, and after leaving, he went directly to find the patrol back and hurry up the training, although he hadn't used a knife or gun for a while, but he already had that habit in his bones, and now he just needed to warm up.
At dinner, Riley and Emma both learned about the event.
"Your Highness, I'm going. Riley said his thoughts very resolutely, this trip to White Mist City will inevitably cause people to be injured, and with her present, at least everyone can be safe.
"Yes, I'm going too. Emma chimed in.
"No, you can't go, this time it's not to play, it's to fight, and there's no one to protect your safety. "The knight of York disagreed, fighting is a man's business, even if they are witches, they are women, and they should stay away from such occasions. In addition, the situation in the slums is complicated, and there are many more ruffians than them, and it is better to say that they have a little martial arts, and a weak person like them will only cause trouble for everyone.
Leon nodded in agreement, it was not a good fit for them to go.
"I don't need your protection. Emma retorted. Her abilities allow her to attack enemies from a distance, and if the scene is chaotic, she can hide in the shadows, which is much safer than a knight fighting them head-on.
"I don't need your protection either, I'll stay away from Emma and I'll come out when someone gets hurt. Riley also found a reason, just like usual, she waited in the lumber yard, and someone was injured and then went out for treatment, and she didn't say that she would always wait in the mine for someone to get hurt. In this way, she is indeed safe.
"Your Highness, you can't agree. York suggested as he looked at the Prince.
Riley and Emma stared at him expectantly.
"Okay, you can go, but everything must be subject to the arrangement, you can't make your own decisions, and safety must be the first priority. Lyons eventually agreed to both of them's request, and in some ways their abilities helped the operation.
"Be careful yourself, there's no one to protect you over there. York had to accept the result and said to Emma.
"We'll see. Emma and Riley laughed happily.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Leon felt a little complicated.
