Chapter 246: The Head of the City (Part II)

Kylelius turned his head to look behind him and said with some embarrassment, "Well, it seems that our shadow friends are preparing to cause chaos for us internally. ”

As his words fell, a soldier of the garrison hurriedly ran up and reported loudly to Rick, the mayor of the town: "Your Excellency, the garrison has received reports from several government offices and important facilities or gathering places in the town just now, and some adventurers of unknown origin have started all kinds of illegal actions, which have caused great panic and losses. ”

"What is the captain of the garrison doing? What's the use of sending you here if you don't hurry up and find a way to control the situation? Once my order is spoken, the whole town is finished!" Rick yelled angrily when he heard the news.

As the mayor here, something like this happened during his tenure, and it was also a critical moment for the Red Robe attack, which would leave a huge stain on his resume.

Although he is the second heir to the ducal family, he is not worried about the next achievements. But this incident will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the other nobles to laugh at him and the entire Luxembourg family, which is a gaffe that the arrogant man does not allow to appear.

The soldier who gave the order was almost frightened by Rick's angry shouting, but after a while, he came back to his senses and replied, "The chief is organizing people to eliminate the troublesome adventurers, but ......"

"But what, say it quickly!" said Rick, who was extremely impatient in his heart, and when he saw him spitting, he couldn't help but reprimand him in a loud voice.

The herald said with some embarrassment, "However, our strength is not enough to suppress all the crime locations. Therefore, Your Excellency Governor asked me to come here to ask for reinforcements, and I hope that Your Excellency will allocate some of your men to quell the civil strife. ”

Rick's whole body trembled with anger when he heard this, and the anger in his heart made His Excellency the Viscount couldn't help but slap the soldier's helmet head hard, accompanied by a muffled sound of "bump!", the soldier was knocked out two or three meters away by the huge force, and fell headlong on the ground of the stone tower.

Fortunately, there was a helmet defense, otherwise the soldier would have been killed directly by Rick in a fit of rage. Rick took two steps closer, grabbed the soldier by the collar, brought his bloodied face close to him, and roared angrily, "Hear me. Go back and tell your captain. I don't have a single soldier here. If he can't suppress the chaos in the city, he doesn't want to live to see the sun tomorrow. ”

"Get out!" he said, throwing the badly wounded soldier to the ground.

At this moment, one of the only people present who could speak, the Earl, suddenly stepped forward and suggested, "Your Excellency Rick. I think it's better to be cautious in this decision. Don't jump to conclusions. Let's talk about it again. ”

Although it is said that it will be discussed again. But Rick knew that the Earl of Dao actually did not agree with what he had just said. Moreover, the opponent is the Earl, who now has the greatest armed power, and he is inferior to the other party in terms of strength and title, so Rick patiently listens to the Earl's advice.

He forced a smile. He said to the Earl, "Well, since you said it, Earl, then let's discuss it." ”

The two walked to the side, and Rick said, "Count, what do you think about what just happened?"

"Hehe, it's a little bit of an idea. The Count said with a smile. He didn't seem to be anxious about the situation at all.

"Speak. Rick said anxiously.

"Your Excellency Knight Rick, if you think about it, you'll know it. The affairs in the city must be suppressed as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be allowed to go on in chaos, and it will be much more difficult to end up than it is now. The Count said with a smile still on his face.

Rick, who also has a high IQ, thought for a while when he heard this, and finally reflected. The Earl is right, don't look at the fact that there are not many adventurers in the city now, it seems that as long as a part of the army is mobilized, they can be wiped out in a short time.

But this is not the case, and as the adventurers' rebellion lasts longer, the number of people involved will only increase.

You must know that most of the people in Ludao City who have combat effectiveness are lawless guys, and when these people see others enjoying blood and spoils of war, the government does not kill them in the first place, which will naturally fuel all kinds of thoughts in their hearts.

Since it's okay for others to burn, kill, and loot, I can do the same. That's what these guys have in their minds, and they're very action-oriented, and they're going to act on what they think about at the same time.

As mentioned earlier, adventurers, whether they are mercenaries or thieves, are a bunch of people who put their own interests above moral principles. Therefore, when encountering such a thing, if you don't suppress it at the first time, then more and more people will be involved, and it will be difficult to end it at that time.

Viscount Rick, who understood this, nodded and was about to agree with this point of view, but suddenly he thought of another question: "We sent people to suppress the chaos in the city, what about the enemies outside? Now even with your escort, the defense power here can only be regarded as barely enough, if some of it is transferred, then what will happen here?"

The Earl was obviously prepared for this question, and he said confidently: "There is no need to worry here for the time being, the enemy outside the city will still need some time to enter the range of engagement at the current speed of movement, so we still have a little time." I think as long as the chaos in the city is cleared up during this time, there will be no problems. ”

Rick thought for a moment and agreed to this opinion, and then asked the Earl, "How many people is the Earl going to send to quell the rebellion?"

"I think four hundred men will be enough, and the remaining half of the men will be able to resist for a while even after the enemy starts attacking, and I think these times will be enough to calm down. The Count replied without hesitation.

"Okay, that's it. I'll get the garrison to cooperate with you, who are you going to send?" asked Rick.

"I'll let Rouse take the guy out later, I think he's good enough to do it. The Earl said.

Next, after the two decided, they began to act. Rick sent someone to follow the soldier he had mortally wounded to deliver his orders. The Count, after giving a few words to Tassere, told him to set out with four hundred guards in full gear and set out to 'put out the fires' in all parts of the city.

So the people returned to the city, watching the enemy who was getting closer and closer. (To be continued......)
