"Hmm!" Hearing this, the old sergeant's face also changed, he didn't care about the life or death of these two people, nor did he care about the Zamba knight, the other party didn't dare to deal with him casually, because, after all, they were soldiers of the pro-guard team.

But this is the task after all.

The old sergeant didn't know how important these two men were, but he didn't want a stain on his resume, he was only in his forties now, and judging by Harrrens's current situation, it was entirely possible that he would get a knighthood before he was discharged from the army.

Moreover, this mission was arranged by Lord Viscount.

The old sergeant was well aware of his viscount's temper, and he never looked twice at the incompetent.

What should I do?

The officer's heart next to him also sank, although he was bloodthirsty, he knew the measure, otherwise Ma Lu had already lost his breath just now, and his cold eyes stared at a soldier Xu Wendao: "What's going on?"

"There are three of them, all good hands, and they carry weapons with them, if we don't do our best, maybe we will die!" The soldier was overheard talking to several people, feeling that he might be causing a catastrophe, and he instinctively wanted to explain.

"What are you doing with all this, Baron Tacia won't listen to your explanation, let alone Lord Viscount!I want to ask you, have you forgotten all the orders I just had?" the officer said coldly, and then asked, "Aren't there three people?

"Run, jump out of the window and run! Their division of labor is clear, and under the cover of these two people, we can't stop it at all!"

"Shut up! I don't want to listen to explanations!" the young officer scolded his subordinates for explanations, and he asked the old sergeant next to him, "What should I do?"

"Tell us the truth!" the old sergeant thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of any good way, he walked to the window, "I hope our brothers on the periphery can intercept that person, otherwise even if the Zamba knight doesn't hold us accountable this time, Baron Taqia won't be able to spare us!"

While the men were talking, several groups of soldiers came to report the results of the search.

Within a few minutes of the incident, the room had been completely inspected.

The old sergeant's gaze lingered on Vis for a few seconds, and then he led the man down.

Weiss looked at the departing backs of this group of people, and the breath in his heart finally fell, he had just thought that this old sergeant would put all the blame on him, and then die without proof.

But in the end, the other party obviously had some scruples and gave up this idea at a critical time.

...

In the hall on the first floor of the villa.

Ma Lu was mummified by several guards and thrown next to a couch with ropes.

The old man, who had dominated the slums for decades, had already guessed who he was facing.

Ordinary forces don't dare to come to his villa so blatantly to arrest people, and he has been worried about it since he helped those goblins do those things some time ago.

But as soon as he thought of those nobles in front of him, he subconsciously thought: There should be no problem in a short time.

So he didn't worry too much.

Ma Lu's original plan was to follow the retreating citizens, he planned to avoid the limelight first, but the damned nobles temporarily assigned him a task, so he had to wait until now.

At this moment, he has no intention of resisting, he has been through ups and downs for so many years, he knows the rules very well, and he understands what kind of fate he will get if he resists.

At this moment, he can only wait quietly for his due fate with a bumpy and uneasy mood.

He subconsciously looked to the side, and he knew that there was someone there who would decide his fate.

Beside him, Zamba was listening to the officer's debriefing.

The officer clearly wanted to explain something.

"No need to explain anything!" Zamba didn't want to listen to the useless ones, "We've failed this mission!"

Zamba's face was a little bad, because he had a hunch that the success or failure of this mission would likely have a very important impact on his promotion.

Zamba doesn't want to accept this fact, but the reality is powerless.

"My lord!" Vis was also unwilling, and he cautiously interjected beside him: "If I'm not mistaken, the escapee will definitely escape from the canal, we can search along the river, there is still a certain chance to find him!"

While Weiss was speaking, Zambi was already carefully observing the other party, he seemed to be surprised that the other party could have such an opinion, and a smile appeared on his face, "This is no longer our business, obviously, our head work is useless!"

Head work?

When Weiss heard Zamba say this, a few thoughts flashed, and he understood a little, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: No wonder he didn't show a trace of unworry after the mission failed, but he was a little emotionally lost, it turned out that there were other means!

The old sergeant and the young officer were also stunned, obviously thinking of it, and their faces showed a hint of unwillingness.

None of them guessed wrong.

In fact, outside the current slums, the city defense army led by Baron Arthur has long been besieged.

On the other side of the canal, there was a small fleet secretly dispatched from Colonel Demps to blockade it.

The lord of Seka City has long wanted to deal with the affairs of the slums.

But this land was allocated to several aristocratic families as private property a hundred years ago, and he had no right to manage it at all.

This was a problem left over from the time when the canal was being repaired.

At that time, the handicraft industry was far less developed than it is today, and there was no trade with the goblins, and the city of Seka was of course poor, and the main money of the city was in the hands of the local nobles.

The city of Seca was not planned at the beginning of its construction, and the roads were in very bad condition, not to mention the transportation.

One of the city lords thought of building a canal across the city along the junction between the inner and outer cities to alleviate the problem of increasingly tight roads.

However, the city lord's mansion couldn't come up with the money at all, so he thought about it, so he leased and transferred several wharves along the canal in the outer city to the local nobles in exchange for a large sum of money.

At that time, the De Looney family didn't care about this small city along his coast at all, after all, the city of Seca, although it was called a city, was actually just a slightly larger town.

At the time, the city was simply a supply depot for the Druney family to control the surrounding seas.

So, the Delooni family quickly agreed to the city lord's suggestion.

At that time, the nobles didn't think that this dock was worth anything at all, so they naturally didn't agree, and in the end, the city lord borrowed the power of the Deruney family and threatened those nobles in disguise to get the funds.

The canal was successfully started, but the lord of the castle was not praised for this achievement.

The nobles he threatened banded together to make trouble in Cook City.

In order to appease the anger of these nobles, the Deruney family hanged the lord of the city on the charge of being a traitor.

But the nobles did not stop, and in the end, the De Looney family had no choice but to change the contract that was originally only a fifty-year lease into the private dock of those nobles.

In the human kingdom, the private property of the nobles is sacred, and under normal circumstances, even the sovereign cannot deprive the subordinate nobles of their private property.

That's why Baron Arthur knew that there was a place in the city of Sekka under his jurisdiction that was endangering the inhabitants of the surrounding neighborhood, but he couldn't do anything about it.
