At this time, the leader of the other party began to make a loud noise, and some strange and unfamiliar language came out of his mouth.

His men pulled out strangely shaped sharp knives and launched a sneak attack, instantly stabbing three of our militiamen.

Sergeant Simchel and one of the remaining militiamen hurriedly fired at each other,

Because it was so close, they were sure that the projectile had hit at least one of them in the chest, but for some reason, none of those guys had fallen!

Sergeant Simchel drew his sword to resist, but because he was outnumbered, he was stabbed several times, and then lost the ability to resist.

The only remaining militiaman wisely threw away his weapon, and under the cover of night, he ran desperately back to the checkpoint and told our men at the sentry all this, and a gendarmerie knight brought the news to the sheriff's office in the town.

And then...... Corporal Stringer, another sheriff in town, decided that the situation was urgent and that the mayor should be notified and put on emergency alert.

He ordered us to ring the old big bronze bell in the attic of the town center hall to alert all the town police to wake up.

Then gather all the vigilantes, gendarmes, and militia, step up patrols, block roads, prevent the town from being attacked by thugs, and begin planning to rescue the survivors of our patrol.

Then I was assigned by the sheriff to patrol this neighborhood of the Crow Inn, and then I met you, my lord, and that's all I know, and I told you all about it. ”

Baron Victor nodded with satisfaction: "Well, your sheriff did a good job and responded very quickly and decently. He turned his head and saw that the princes and princesses were all listening.

William Einfurt said: "I heard it all, and it was shocking that a foreign country would dare to attack our security patrol. ”

"Daring gringos! They must not be spared! Prince Constance said indignantly: "Victor, let's put an end to our outing plan first!" Do your duty and keep the people safe! ”

Victor bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will take care of this matter, don't worry." ”

The gendarmerie knight next to him didn't hear what they were talking about, but he noticed Errao's actions and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He already knew Victor's identity, and it was unimaginable that this high-ranking official from the imperial capital would bow down to the bespectacled man and treat him as if he were a follower.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a vigilante wearing a red armband on his upper arm rode over, "Phew! "He rolled over and dismounted in front of people.

He walked up to the gendarme and said, "Friend, we have just returned from the hill and have found the scene of the incident, found the body of a militiaman, confirmed that he was stabbed to death with a knife, Sergeant Simchel and the two militiamen are still missing, but we see blood on the ground extending in the direction of the castle."

After investigation, it was preliminarily determined that the suspect had taken our fellow supporters to that ghost place.

The sheriff, Mr. Stringer, asked us to return to the town and assemble a detachment, armed as best we could, and then go to the castle to arrest the suspects and rescue our companions.

This operation will be very dangerous! Those gringos are vicious murderers who can come out of any dark corner and stab us out of the blues.

I think it's better to leave a legacy before participating in the action.

Damn it! I regret very much that I signed up to be a vigilante, I shouldn't have coveted that little subsidy in the first place, who would have thought that I would encounter such a dangerous situation in my life? ”

When the castle was raised, the vigilante looked disgusted, and seemed reluctant to mention the ominous place.

The vigilante felt a heavy snort from above, he raised his head, noticed Victor, who had been listening intently, and asked the gendarme, "Who is this big man?" What is he eavesdropping on our conversations? ”

The gendarmerie knight approached the vigilante's ear and told him of the prestigious official position in front of him, and then both stood respectfully to the side.

Victor took out the style of a high-ranking official, and he said in an unquestionable commanding tone: "Take me to your office, the same house where I was imprisoned last time." ”

"Yes, my lord."

"Wait a minute!" Princess Rosemary tugged at Victor's cloak, her uneasy golden eyes showed a frightened emotion, and her aggrieved face looked very moving: "Please...... Take me too, I'm ...... I'm scared now, don't leave me, Vic stop"

William said: "Let's just go together!" It's safer to be together at this time, and our two carriages are parked over there. ”

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the sheriff's office, located in the center of the town.

The gendarme told his boss about Viktor's identity, and the latter's face turned blue,

He looked up at Baron Victor in fear, and secretly regretted in his heart, how much trouble he had done?

He kept such a big man in a cage all night, and this big man was still respectful to his companions, knowing what a prominent identity the girl who was imprisoned with him was, and his position was probably going to be lost.

Victor found a chair and sat down, and lit his pipe: "Look, Mr. Sheriff, what are you going to do?" ”

"Lord Baron, you are now the Supreme Commander here, with our current manpower and experience, we will not be able to deal with the current dangerous situation, please transfer more people to help us."

Victor looked a little embarrassed: "It's the middle of the night, it's still such a remote valley town, where do you ask me to mobilize helpers for you?" ”

Seeing the other party's look of loss and timidity, he changed his words and said:

"But, since I'm here, I have to take responsibility, by the way, look at my brain, I heard your subordinates coming over just now, what's your name?"

"His name is Stringer Ibistol, and he is the sheriff of Fog Pine, with the rank of corporal."

"Well, where is the mayor of Fog Pine Town?"

"Mayor Mare? Oh! Don't count on that old man, he's going around the office right now, or ...... We called him to you, my lordship? ”

"No need! In the current situation, he can't help when he comes. Let's do it ourselves! Just the people in the house, and the militia and vigilantes outside the house, let's get through this together. ”

"What are you going to do? My lord. ”

Victor raised his thick arm and pointed his finger at the other party, "You, Mr. Sheriff Stringer, you are responsible for leading everyone to guard the town of Fog Pine, after all, the safety of the townspeople is of the utmost importance.

So far, your response has been very appropriate, showing good command ability, come on, I will continue to monitor your performance,

In the future, you will be promoted as appropriate, as well as the vigilantes, gendarmes and militiamen, all of you are the same, do not be afraid of difficulties, everyone do their part, His Majesty the Emperor will give everyone the opportunity to increase their ranks, regardless of their origin, as long as they contribute to the empire. ”

Victor's words inspired them and made them all scrappy. The public officials in the office looked at each other and nodded in unison: "My lord, we will not let you down, and we will definitely protect the safety of the town." ”

The sheriff asked, "So...... Your Excellency, you have asked us to guard the town, so who will do the job of arresting the suspects?

Also welcome... Our other magistrate, Sergeant Simchel, and two militiamen are still in the hands of the suspects, both of whom are wounded and must be rescued, and quickly. ”

Victor said confidently: "I'll handle this matter myself!"

Sheriff, I need five volunteers to go with me to the castle, and at least one of them must be a guide, who is familiar with the terrain of the hills and the inner workings of the castle to show us the way. ”

The public officials who were originally a little timid and retreated even began to take the initiative to ask: Take me there, my marksmanship is okay, I will definitely be able to help! ”

"I always go to the mountains to play, I'll show you the way, my lord!"

Soon, five volunteers were assembled, including three militiamen, a vigilante, and a gendarmerie knight.

William Einfurt suddenly asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Sheriff, is that mountain road passable for carriages?" ”

"No problem, sir, although it has never been inhabited, we still go to repair the road every year to remove weeds, and the road is in good condition, but there are some bumps."

"Then take me with you." William said: "I know a little about the language of the tribes of the southern tropical islands, and I have some research on their cultural beliefs, I can communicate with those foreign suspects, at least I can shout for them to surrender." ”

Seeing Victor's embarrassed face, William continued: "I don't want to be a burden all the time, and I want to make some contributions, please take me there." ”

"Hmm...... All right. ”

Queen Edgar Midknight stepped forward and clutched the handle of the wheelchair with both hands: "I'm going too!" I'm going to teach those gringos a good lesson, and let them taste the power of Valsta! The girl of the fighting nation is not easy to mess with! ”

She took off her headscarf and mask, and her face shocked everyone in the room for a moment.

Sheriff Stringer felt an unprecedented shock, and he felt that the person in front of him was by no means an idle person.

This astonishing-looking girl must have been some eldest sister of illustrious origin, and not only that, but she also had an unsettling, strong and wild temperament, judging by her momentum, she was much stronger than all those present combined.

"Sheriff!" She shouted in a commanding tone.

"Yes...... I'm here, girl, what do you command? ”

"When you enter the town, all my gunpowder and weapons have been taken away by your militia, go to the storehouse and return to me the big bag full of guns and ammunition, along with my uniform and boots."

At this point, she tugged at her skirt in disgust: "I'm really fed up with this damn torn skirt!" I'm going to put on my favorite clothes, rush into the castle, and beat those damn gringos to the ground, and that's the fun! ”

The sheriff froze in astonishment, the contrast between the girl's sweet appearance and her reckless speech, and he had not yet been able to get used to it.

"Sheriff? What are you still doing? Hurry up and bring it to me! Edgar stamped his foot impatiently.

"Right...... I'm sorry...... As you wish, ma'am, I'll have my men get your things back. ”
