Eve's rescue operation did not go well, and the city of Kyrridan, also encountered an unprecedented disaster. I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, Duke Rum took almost all the guards, and Eve took his own knights, and now Kyredan, can even be called an empty city.

The city had just experienced a turmoil, full of broken buildings, broken streets, and injured citizens. This led to bloodshed in the city, where small traders were robbed of their belongings and young girls were afraid to go out into the streets. The law and order situation was very serious, but Sammer did not have enough manpower to deal with these matters.

Sammer sat in his office, surrounded by piles of papers. Sammer was confident in his talent, but the grim situation was a bit tricky for him. "Sheriff, shouldn't they keep the law and order here, why can't I transfer them?" he kept looking at the papers, and suddenly he realized that these people, who were called sheriffs, were not under his jurisdiction. "You're a foreigner, my lord, and you don't know anything. The sheriff is an organization made up of a group of citizens who are an independent organization and are not subject to the jurisdiction of any liege. An advisor explained to him. "Why is that? Aren't these people a group of hidden dangers?" Sammer wondered, if it were in his homeland, he would never tolerate such a group of people in his own territory.

"Alas, you don't understand, it's a, a matter of history. The clerk sighed, as if he was helpless. "There was a king whose deeds were despicable, and whose people were miserable. Later, a citizen led his fellow villagers and overthrew him. The clerk began to explain the history.

"After that, they shouted the slogan: 'The people protect themselves', and selected some people from among the citizens to become magistrates. They did not meddle in aristocratic affairs and only protected the local commoners. Successive kings have tried to exterminate them, but the citizens are very supportive of them, and if they do, they are afraid that the angry citizens will smash the king's palace. ”

When the commissioner mentioned these people, there was a mixture of disdain in his words. "But actually, as you can see, they don't help much at all, actually, it's getting worse. As a result of their intervention, many prisoners were released without much punishment under the protection of their 'law'. ”

Sammer nodded worriedly, he had understood the sheriff's purpose. At the moment, it doesn't help you. He had to have a reliable force to keep the law. "My lord, if you need manpower, there are quite a few mercenaries stationed in the city, so maybe you can try them. The clerk suggested. Sammer shook his head slightly. "No, don't forget that these disasters are the cause, and I can't trust people who have no integrity. ”

Just as Sammer was at a loss, an attendant walked up to the clerk and whispered a few words. Suddenly, the officer's face became a little ugly. "My lord, Aureus Thord has returned. Oh, forgive me, you shouldn't have known about it. Sammer looked at his face and guessed that this was not a good thing. "But it doesn't hurt to say that. He didn't realize he didn't speak Karadis, but the clerk understood what he meant. "It's a long story," the officer outlined, ...... Aureus as the man who attacked their caravan, and although he was nominally obedient to Eve, his actual loyalty was unknown.

Sammer pondered for a while, this was a matter that needed to be taken seriously, and it was possible if he suddenly turned back after learning about Kyle Redan's actual situation.

But that's all for later, and at this moment, Sammo felt that he would greet him personally, so as not to feel sluggish. When they reached the gates, they met the returning Aureus, but he was not alone, he was followed by a vast crowd of people—old men, women, and children, but fortunately not an army," Sammer thought to himself. Aureus saw Sammer coming to greet him from afar, and stepped forward and said, "These are my brothers' families, settle them down." Obviously, he took Sammer as a subordinate. Sammer didn't break it, he nodded to the commissioner, and the clerk went to settle the old and young women and children.

"I heard that...... Lady Eve is not in the city, who is in charge now?" Orius exuded an air of competence that belonged to a veteran soldier all over his body, and he never dragged his feet in his work. "It's me, my lord. Sammer said humbly. Aureus looked at him strangely, but he felt something familiar. "Are you ......" Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was. “...... It's you. ”

After a brief acquaintance, they arrived at the office, and Sammer unreservedly told him about Kyle Redan's current situation, hoping to get help from him. Aureus fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking. “...... Maybe it's my heart, my lord, but why do you believe in me so much?" he said.

Sammer smiled faintly, looking very calm. "You have shown your loyalty, my lord. Aureus raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?" Thornmer didn't respond to him, smiling politely at him, before continuing, "As both subordinates of Lord Eve, it's our shared responsibility to keep Kerrydan safe, isn't it?"

Aureus narrowed his eyes slightly, the person in front of him was the kind of person he hated the most—the kind of smart person who thought he was in control. “...... I have given my loyalty and my life for the sake of the Earl, not you, and I don't need you to teach me how to do it. Aureus said vigilantly, knowing that such a need to be doubly guarded.

"Of course, my lord, I am just reminding you that the issue of law and order is the most pressing issue right now. Sammer didn't pay attention to his tone, but said politely, and then, as if remembering something, he said to Aureus: "Forgive me, my lord, I remember that I and Lord Francis still have some matters to discuss, please allow me to retire first." He stood up and saluted, which was the etiquette of the southerners.

Aureus watched him walk out and snorted softly. "He sensed my attitude, so he didn't continue to pester me, smart man. Aureus thought with some hatred. And in his heart, there was actually a trace of surprise, he didn't know much about his Earl, but in a short period of time she got a new boost, she was really not a simple person.

He touched the wrist of his right hand, which had a deep scar, which seemed to explain why he held the sword in his left hand. At least not like his old master, who was a lazy piece of rubbish, much to Aureus' comfort.

He got up and went to gather his old department, I don't know how long they had been in prison, it was time for them to move.
