Chapter Twenty-Three: Greetings from Blackstone Fortress

Mayfi stood on the wall above the prison and watched silently at what was happening below, as he held a piece of cloth with the word 'prison' written crookedly on it.

In fact, the warden quickly discovered the rag on his body, and he immediately informed the knights outside the lord's mansion of the incident, and then the thing was transferred to Mayfei's hands.

It just so happened that at this time, the people under Annellin also came back to report that the people in the casino had some actions, which made Mayfei's immediately link the two things together. He immediately rushed to the prison with knights and mercenary groups to ambush him.

Although the killers below temporarily broke through the encirclement with the flash props, they were quickly hit by the patrols that rushed to support and then scattered and trapped one by one, but they fought back desperately, and none of them laid down their weapons and surrendered.

As a result, most of these killers were slashed to death by the sword, and the remaining one or two people rushed out with serious injuries, but they didn't do much harm.

Mei Fei couldn't be happy at all now, if someone hadn't tipped them off this time, I'm afraid that these killers have succeeded.

He didn't expect this group of people to be so bold and reckless, and even attract the attention of those thieves. If it weren't for the accident of their actions, Blue Water City didn't know what kind of catastrophe it would have experienced at this time.

On the city wall, several more footsteps sounded. Knight Gray, the head of the mercenary regiment, Aman, and the female swordsman Yin came to his side.

"My lord, the identity of the other party has been clarified. These killers were the guards of the original casino, and according to the confessions of the officers, they were all from the Blackstone Fortress, and they were also responsible for most of the capture and transportation of slaves on weekdays. Gray reported briefly.

Was this the order of Baron Babu? Is it for him or for Bishui City? If it is the former, he and Baron Babu have not even met in the past, and there is no grievance at all, will it be with the old duke's side? If it is the latter, could it be that Baron Babu wants to create chaos in the city, and he takes the opportunity to take Bishui City?

Or, maybe someone wants to provoke a conflict between him and Blackstone Fortress so that he can take advantage of it.

It seems that anything is possible...

At present, the situation in the Eastern Regions is also uncertain, and he must be cautious, lest he be complacent if he is used as a gun by others.

"Didn't you catch a single one alive?" said Mayfei, a corner of her eye, and Gray asked lightly.

Gray bowed his head in shame, he had boasted two days ago that he would catch all these minions in the shadows. Now everyone has sent it to the door, but he didn't help the lord get a living one.

"It's not all Captain Gray's fault," Amand echoed, "the only two people alive who escaped with serious injuries, and one of them was forced to a dead end in the alley by me and cut the veins in his neck with a dagger. The other, while on the run, was captured by Captain Gray and swallowed the poison sac that had been prepared on the way back. ”

These killers are far beyond the knowledge of this group leader, and he still has some lingering fears.

But at this time, the female swordsman on the side suddenly spoke: "They, in the middle, and one person, are not dead. ”

Gray and Arman turned their heads neatly and asked the female swordswoman at the same time, "Who?!"

"The owner of that casino. Mayfield glanced at the female swordsman, and she didn't seem surprised.

He could see it clearly from above, and the owner of the casino was already gone as soon as Yin appeared.

Not to mention that Gray and Arman, even the killers who traveled with him, didn't notice that the owner of the casino had fled. And in the chaos that followed, almost everyone ignored the existence of the casino owner.

Yin also nodded.

Amand hesitated for a moment and proposed, "The city gate is guarded by knights, and he shouldn't be able to escape." Captain Gray and I immediately took people from house to house. ”

"No need, I'm afraid I can't find him in the city. Mayfield shook her head.

The female swordsman also explained: "I just now, I have been tracking, his, whereabouts. But still, no, find him. He was, should, already, out of town. ”

Gray knelt down on one knee, "It's my responsibility to get those killers and casino owners out of the encirclement this time. ”

"Although, this operation was all arranged by you. But the flashing props in the killer's hand and the flaws in the mercenary group themselves are not something you can control. Mayfield waved her hand, "You go and tell the knights guarding the city gate to be careful, I always think... It doesn't end there. ”

"Yes, my lord. Gray immediately stood up and took orders.

"Aman, go and contact those mercenary groups again, let them take shifts to be patrols, gather the wounded in the mercenary group to the lord's mansion and let the servants and doctors in the palace treat them, tell them to rest well and be ready to be ready at any time. ”

"In addition, bring the informant who secretly delivered the news to us to the lord's palace for protection. He is an important witness and whistleblower. ”

——————————————————————————————

The next morning, when Mayfield received news of Baron Babu's visit, the Baron had eagerly entered the city with a group of retinues.

At this time, the city of clear water was not shrouded in fear and turmoil as Baron Babu imagined, but it was a piece of prosperity.

The road is not so deserted compared to the last time I was here. Due to the temporary abolition of taxes on the territory, there were more merchants and hawkers talking about buying and selling on the roadside, and more goods and pedestrians appeared on the streets.

The expressions of the people passing by at this time were no longer the same numbness and indifference, and their faces had gradually had a trace of long-lost smiles.

Babu rode slowly through the streets, on horseback. He looked at everything around him without saying a word.

There is no doubt that last night's operation had been a complete failure, otherwise the atmosphere here should not have been like this.

Thinking of this, Babu was inexplicably a little irritable. It shouldn't have been like this, in his plan, the disinherited waste should have died in the turmoil of last night.

And Tababu appeared at this time as the savior of the city of clear water, saving the people terrorized by these thieves and mobs. They should welcome him like a hero.

Damn, what went wrong?!

As if venting, Babu swung his whip and slammed it on the horse's buttocks. His crotch was painful, and he ran desperately on the most prosperous streets of Bishui City, leaving his companions far behind...
