The mercenaries of the armed regiment of the trading house were still surrounding five four-wheeled wagons full of goods, and Surdak walked to the side of the four-wheeled carriages, and watched as one of the wagons was filled with barrels of black fire oil that exuded a strange smell, and the nearly six-meter-long carriage was almost fifty or sixty barrels, and the oak barrels were covered with a thick layer of rainproof tarpaulin.

Surdak walked over and uncovered the rainproof tarpaulin, the oak barrel was still covered with the seal of the city guard brigade, he turned his head to stare at Captain Hans behind him and asked: "Captain Hans, where are you going to transport these black fire oils, do you know that you have misappropriated war materials without authorization, and you have to be investigated by the military court of the military department of Bena Province?" ”

Then he walked to the second four-wheeled truck, opened the corner of the tarpaulin of the carriage, and inside was a heavy wooden box, Surdak drew a red crescent, and slashed a sword at the corner of the wooden box, the corner of the wooden box was directly cut off, and the heavy crossbow arrow made of stainless steel was dripped down with a loud bang.

Captain Hans stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, hurriedly ran behind Surdak, and said with a weak heart:

"Commander Surdak, please listen to my explanation, these supplies are not owned by the city guard brigade, these materials are ......"

Captain Hans looked at Mayor Marko as his Adam's apple twitched, his eyes full of pleading.

Mayor Marco took two steps forward, coughed, and said: "These combat materials were originally purchased by Dodan Town for the City Defense Guard Brigade, and since Commander Surdak has taken over as the commander of the City Defense Guard Brigade, do you also want you to prepare the combat preparation materials for the City Defense Guard Brigade?" ”

Surdak stood next to the four-wheeled wagon, stared at Mayor Marko and said:

"Mayor Marco is really calculating, you applied to the town of Dodan to purchase a batch of war materials, but did not pay the payment to the traders, and now you want to transport this batch of war materials, do you want to pay off this batch of materials to the trading house before the beast tide is coming, so as to smooth off the previous arrears?"

The townspeople who were watching around heard Surdak say this, and all eyes were fixed on Mayor Marko.

Everyone is not stupid, if they really wanted to pay off the arrears of the trading house with supplies, the mercenaries of the armed regiment of the trading house probably would not have blocked the door of the city guard brigade and detained the five four-wheeled trucks.

It was clear that the mayor of Marco wanted to transfer the supplies, and the trading house was worried that the arrears would become a dead debt, so they blocked the five four-wheeled carriages in front of the door of the city guard brigade.

"Ahem......" Mayor Marco didn't know how to explain for a while, standing in front of the gate with red ears.

Anthony, the head of the trading firm, winked at the mercenary captain of the armed regiment.

"Roll off the carriage with a few of you." The captain of the mercenaries understood, and instructed the mercenaries of the armed regiment in the cargo compartment.

The mercenaries who climbed onto the carriage jumped out of the carriage one after another.

With a straight face, Surdak instructed the coachmen who were driving the wagon: "You transport these war materials back to the warehouse." ”

"We have to recheck the list of accounts in the warehouse, since it is war materials, the town hall of Dodan Town has no right to transfer them at will." Surdak first glanced at Mayor Marco, and then said to the head of the trading firm: "Anthony, I don't think the trading firm should mind if this payment is delayed for a few more days, right?" ”

"Of course, there is still a little bit of patience in the trading firms." Anthony, the head of the trading firm, said with a smile.

Several coachmen raised their whips, turned the four-wheeled wagons, and drove back to the city guard brigade.

Surdak then said to Mayor Marko:

"Mayor Marko, I hope there are no problems in this account breakdown, and I will submit an application to Wilkes City Quartermaster Logistics to review the accounts. Now, these supplies cannot be transported out of the city guard brigade......"

Several guards next to Mayor Marco stood up and tried to stop the four-wheeled carriage in front, but before the driver in front could walk in front of the carriage, he was kicked away by Andrew, who rushed up diagonally.

"Commander Surdak, what are you doing here?" Mayor Marko questioned Surdak.

Surdak stared at Mayor Marko and said coldly to him, "I hope you can sort out the town's accounts recently......"

After speaking, he turned around and walked into the courtyard of the city guard brigade.

Mayor Marko's face was pale and red, but he didn't have the confidence to follow Surdak into the city guard brigade again, so he just snorted and returned to Dodan Town angrily with a group of servants, not even wanting to look at Anthony, the head of the trading house.

Anthony, the head of the trading firm, glanced around and said lightly to the mercenaries of the armed group: "Let's go!" ”

The group of people surrounding the city guard brigade dispersed in an instant.

Only Hans stood in the doorway, sweating profusely, and watched with a bitter face as Mayor Marko led the men away, and could only return to the courtyard of the city guard brigade.

……

Nearly three hundred city guards stood in the courtyard, and when they saw Surdak walking in, they hurriedly moved out of the way.

The lightly armored guards were mostly young men from the town of Dodan, most of whom were natives of the town, and they stared at Surdak with a look of fear, and Surdak stopped in front of them, his gaze grazing across the faces of each guard like knives.

Surdak stood in front of the crowd and said loudly:

"Look at your faces, young, full of vitality, you have the responsibility of guarding the town of Dodan, the town is inhabited by your family and friends, this wall is only the first barrier against the tide of beasts for Wilkes City, but for Dodan Town, those monsters will rush into the town if they climb over the wall, I don't want you to be cowardly and selfish warriors with no blood at all."

After saying these words, some of the guards consciously raised their heads, their chests puffed up, and their eyes became determined.

"Just like today...... People are blocking the gates, and they almost spit saliva in your face, why don't you beat them out? Surdak scolded: "As a city defender, I am ashamed of you for being blocked by a group of local armed regiments. ”

These city guards were all young people, and they were all red faces when they were scolded by Surdak.

Surdak shouted, "If this happens again in the future, I hope it will be before I arrive...... Either you have defeated all those mercenaries, or you have been defeated by all those mercenaries after trying your best, if the former is the former, I will personally award you a reward, if all of you are defeated by the mercenaries, I will get the field back for you, instead of the cowardly appearance you are now! ”

"Except for the people who are on duty on the city wall tonight, everyone is running circles around the courtyard for me, and I am not allowed to stop until dark!"

After Surdak finished speaking, the squadron leaders of these city guards actually gave orders one after another, and ran in line on the playground.

Captain Hans cautiously followed Surdak, who ignored him, still holding the parchment book in his hand, and walked directly to the warehouse under the city walls, where the five four-wheeled wagons were still parked at the door of the warehouse, and the goods were not unloaded.

There are a total of ten warehouses renovated from the city wall holes under the north city wall, and the doors of these warehouses here are iron doors more than four meters high, and the iron locks hanging outside weigh dozens of pounds.

A fat man in leather armor came running briskly from the side of the warehouse and stood in front of Surdak with a look of humility, his eyes still aimed at Captain Hans behind him.

Surdak asked him, "Are you the storekeeper of the Guard Brigade?" ”

The fat man in leather armor nodded again and again, and said, "Jeremy, the storekeeper, has seen the commander!" ”

Surdak commanded, "Go and open the warehouse!" ”

"Oh!" Administrator Jeremy hurriedly ran back.

With a rumbling sound, a man pushed open a large iron door four meters high.

As the big iron door was pushed open by the administrator, Surdak saw the slide rails hoisted on the lintel of the door, no wonder such a heavy iron door could be opened by him so easily.

Jeremy, the caretaker, stood at the door of the warehouse, and Surdak and Andrew walked over and looked inside......

The entire warehouse was empty except for a rat that slipped away in the corner.

Andrew and Surdak looked at each other, and didn't know what to say for a while, and Surdak said coldly to the storekeeper Jeremy: "You go and open all the doors of the other warehouses." ”

Thundered......

Thundered......

As the big iron was pushed open, the ten warehouses were empty.

Surdak's scalp was numb, and he saw stacks of heavy crossbow arrows piled up in the courtyard of the city guard brigade on the city wall, and the wooden shelves on the wall were full of rolling stones and other materials, and he thought that the city guard brigade had too many materials to fit in the warehouse, so he piled these three-meter-long heavy crossbow arrow shafts in the courtyard.

In any case, I didn't expect that Mayor Marco and Captain Hans were so bold, the beast tide was coming, there were no reserves in the material warehouse, and the last batch of reserve materials in the warehouse was also transferred.

"Where's the stock in these warehouses?" Surdak walked into the empty warehouse, turned to Captain Hans standing at the door, and asked, "What are the only ones left in the truck?" ”

His voice echoed through the empty warehouse.

Captain Hans followed behind him, bowed his head and said to Surdak: "Oh, even the supplies on the truck outside belong to the town of Dodan, and since I was the captain of the city guard brigade, I have not given a copper plate to the city guard team. ”

Surdak asked Captain Hans, "The City Guard Brigade has been using the taxes from Dodan Town to maintain daily expenses and material reserves?" ”

"That's pretty much it, the taxes in Dodan Town have not been very good in recent years, and the nobles in the town don't need to pay taxes to the town, and those aborigines are so poor that they can't wear pants, and the biggest commercial tax is the town's trading firm, but they are always trading in private, and tax evasion is the norm." Captain Hans complained to Surdak.

Seeing Surdak standing silent in the warehouse, Captain Hans said again: "Mayor Marko also has his difficulties, but if you want to take charge of the city guard brigade, we still support it. ”

Surdak walked up to Captain Hans, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a soothing voice: "Before I came to the Bailin Plane, I had been serving in the Hylanza City Guard Battalion, do you think I don't understand the operation system of the City Guard Brigade?" ”

Captain Hans looked aside and said, "I'm just the captain of a small town's city defense guard, I don't have much knowledge, I only know that the garrison of the Langdon Legion also gave up the military power of the city defense guard team because of this, I should have your own choice." ”

Surdak said: "The military department requires each town to withhold a certain amount of tax every year to support the local defense garrison, no matter which town it goes to, no matter the daily expenses, or reserve materials, there is a minimum amount of depreciation replenishment every year, and now the town of Dodan has been evading this expenditure for so many years, this lawsuit goes to the House of Representatives of Wilkes City, and it is estimated that the title of the noble baron of the mayor of Marko will not be able to keep him......"

Surdak walked out of the warehouse, looked at Captain Hans with a look of pity, and said:

"You can say so justifiably in front of me, it seems that you really don't have much knowledge and don't understand anything!"

Captain Hans heard Surdak say this, and he only felt that his legs were a little weak.

After a pause, Surdak asked him again, "Are you married?" ”

Captain Hans shook his head and said, "Not ...... yet"

Surdak smiled slightly and said:

"That's fine, at least your child won't be implicated by this."

Captain Hans sat on the ground with his buttocks, and suddenly there was a hot current in the crotch of his pants that could not be stopped by any means......
