Chapter 019: Blue Flame
The Ironmen of Karta City returned triumphantly, Nina stood on the castle tower without surprise, and Kenny rode Uyang through the ancient city gates and back to his palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's been two days since Lawrence came to Calta City, and Kenny has been gone for half a month, and he sent a letter to Lawrence before he left, hoping that he would come to Calta City to discuss how to deal with Bill. The two who haven't seen each other for a long time hug each other, and this meeting is very much like a pair of brothers who have just met each other.
Kenny informs Lawrence that Luke, Lord of Sainte, has probably died at Marcy's hands, and although he didn't see the body with his own eyes, he is almost certain that this is already a fact, because the countless white crows he let go out have not returned, and with the character of old Luke, even if he had worked for Bill, there is no reason not to reply to his 'neighbor's letter.
Lawrence was silent after hearing this, he has always praised old Luke, this old guy has served the city of Shots all his life, although it seems that the city of Shots has not changed now, at least his efforts are obvious to all, except for getting out two mentally handicapped sons, this old guy is still very respectable.
After briefly mourning Luke Sr., Lawrence told Kenny that he had received two letters, one from you, inviting him to come to Karta City to discuss the crusade against Bill, and the other from Nina, saying that you had sent troops south of the Angolan steppe to help Mike, who was 'affected'.
After receiving the letter, Lawrence then sent his troops to the halfling-infested area, and he followed the heath all the way east, then scattered all his cavalry, and searched Kenny and Mike's troops in a carpet search, only to find miles of potholes along the Menu River, full of charred halflings.
Lawrence couldn't imagine what was going on here, but judging by the battlefield, it seemed like he was late.
"By the time I arrived there with my troops, you were gone, and I had almost killed an old halfling man with antlers at the edge of the pit. Lawrence said proudly, as if he had dug the holes, the blue fire had been planted by him, and the halflings had been killed by him.
"Antlers, halfling, old man, Lawrence, tell me the truth, did you kill him?" Kenny looked at Lawrence incredulously.
"Why are you looking at me like that, do you know something? Okay, I'll be honest, that old man is so powerful that he caught me with a shot, but fortunately he didn't fight back, otherwise I don't think I would have been able to sit here and talk to you. But he's not human, so it's normal that he can't fight, and I don't feel ashamed. "None of the faithful Namu believers seem to be fit to lie.
"We met this old man, to be exact, we went to him, his name is Negar, right?" Kenny looked upset.
"Yes, the old man told me that he was a prophet, and that a prophet was something, and he told me..."
One of the guards rushed in, "Oh my lord, on the streets south of the city, our guards are all crazy, and they are crazy to slaughter the inhabitants of the streets. ”
Both of them were stunned by the guard's words, the guards of the city slaughtered the residents, how could this be possible, there must be something wrong with it. Kenny and Lawrence immediately led a group of guards and hurried to the scene of the accident.
On the streets of Xicheng, nearly thirty guards wearing standard armor frantically chased a group of unclothed people. There were already several corpses on the ground of the street, and the vendors and storefronts on both sides were all closed for fear of causing death, and the guards had no intention of stopping.
Kenny and Lawrence rush to the scene of the accident, their eyes covered in blood confirming that the soldier's words are true. He tries to give the order to the frenzied soldiers to stop, and the soldiers do stop when they hear the order, and Kenny looks at the soldiers in line, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with them.
"Which detachment are you soldiers in, your duty is to guard the city, not to massacre its inhabitants, and your family lives in the city, are you all crazy?!Which of you is the leader of this madman squad, stand up for me!" Kenny angrily scolded the soldier in front of him.
"My lord, the leader of my squad, we are the guards of the prison, belonging to the city guard of Karta, we did not massacre the inhabitants, we killed the prisoners who escaped last night. A soldier of medium stature stepped forward.
Kenny looked at the corpses on the street, all the dead were unclothed, the soldier didn't seem to be lying, and on second thought, there was something wrong, all the prisoners had conspired to escape en masse?
"You are the guards of the Iron Man Legion in Karta City, a squad of nearly thirty people, iron cages and iron gates, all the prisoners are kept separately, outsiders need to be personally approved by the Minister of Penal Punishment for entry and exit arraignment, and now you tell me that all the prisoners in the entire prison have escaped, and you lead your team to cut people all over the streets of Xicheng, you really should all be hanged in the prison you guard. Kenny angrily reprimanded the guards in front of him, after all, Lawrence was also here, and the incident made him lose face.
"My lord, please listen to my explanation, although it sounds a bit absurd. This morning we were doing a routine inspection in the prison, and suddenly all the soldiers fainted as if they had fallen into an evil spirit, and when we woke up, the prisoners in the prison were gone, and we did not dare to report it, so we had to go to the streets to search for the prisoners, and we found these prisoners under the bridge in the west of the city, but they all resisted arrest and attacked, and we slashed them in the street. The squad leader looked serious, but that explanation did sound a little inappropriate.
"Is there anything strange about it other than evil?" Kenny believed the explanation that sounded like an evasion of responsibility.
"No, no. Oh, by the way, my lord, yesterday we took in a young man in the prison, he was caught by the owner of the restaurant for stealing a large amount of bread, and he was sent to the prison, the young man looked different from a normal person, and when the minister interrogated him, he didn't say a word. ”
Kenny listened to the captain of the guard, if it weren't for the rice buckets lying, the young man might have been able to use it.
He began to investigate the matter himself, and then rushed to the restaurant where the young man was arrested, and the owner of the restaurant said that the young man was caught in the back kitchen, when he was dressed as a pig feeder to collect the leftovers that the restaurant did not want, and his movements were very slow, and he did not look at all like a pig feeder who often worked, and a cook accidentally bumped into him, and a lot of bread fell out of his wide clothes, and then we sent him to a prison in the city.
Kenny listened attentively to the restaurateur and didn't want to miss a single detail.
Suddenly, a drunkard slammed into Kenny's back, and he squinted his blank eyes and said to Kenny, "My lord, I know where the kid you're looking for is, if you give me a gold coin, hehe..."
