"Who are they?" Ilea asked.
"The residents of the city," Ferdinand said, "Sir Judith suspected that they had connections with Herodotus and were spies of the Blood Moon Society, so he arrested them and their families."
"Are all these people spies of the Blood Moon Society?" The female lord was startled.
"Of course it's impossible," Ferdinand shook his head and said, "The Blood Moon Society is well-organized and secretive, making it difficult to be caught. Moreover, the believers are all fearless of death. Even if they are caught, they will not reveal others. Most of these people
Just ordinary civilians.
"Maybe he drank too much in the tavern, casually said a few nice words for Herodotus, or complained about the Malir family and was arrested.
"Sir Judith's uncle died in Rock Snow City, and then lost one of his sons in Teacup Castle. He hated Herodotus and the Blood Moon to his bones, and put a lot of pressure on the people below, asking them to stay in the city.
We can catch enough people in a short period of time, and if the people below can’t do it, we have to use civilians to make up the number.”
"Won't something happen if this continues?" Ilea frowned.
"Who knows, I stayed in this city for a day, and I can feel the resentment accumulated in it. But after all, the Marier family is a famous family in the West. Their ancestors built this city and have been ruling it since.
More than two thousand seven hundred years.
"It is true that we have not encountered more serious crises than this during this period, but now they are still the masters of the city in the lake."
As Ferdinand was talking, more than twenty masked men wearing gray linen and holding butcher knives suddenly rushed out of a butcher shop across the street.
The leading masked man shouted, "The blood moon has appeared to purify the world! Don't be afraid, don't shrink, pick up weapons and defend our brothers and sisters together! The goddess will be with you and me!!!"
While he was killing the guards of the Malir family who were escorting the prison van.
And his companions behind him also launched a charge with him. Like hungry wolves, they rushed towards the prison car one after another!
The guards of the Malir family did not panic when they saw this. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, only half of the opponents, they also drew their swords from their waists and prepared to fight.
The leading captain should also be part of the Mariel family. His pupils are much wider than the average person, and his eyebrows are raised to both sides.
He was the only one among the guards who did not draw his sword immediately until the masked men on the opposite side were almost rushing in front of him.
He sneered, stepped forward instead of retreating, and took another half step forward. Then the female lord saw a head flying up!
Surprisingly, it was the masked man who shouted earlier, and then the guard captain raised his sword and chopped down two people in a row.
His bravery inspired other guards of the Malir family, and they soon fought together with the group of men in black of unknown origin.
The battle only lasted less than five minutes, and all the masked men were killed. Half of the street was stained with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Four of the Malir family guards were also injured, but only one was seriously injured.
Jude only glanced twice at the beginning of the battle, then lost interest and directed other Black Dog Guards to carry the salute into the hotel.
And Thomas still led people to guard the female lord's side.
"Go and report to the Sheriff that we have killed twenty-three more heretics from the Blood Moon Society."
The leading guard captain pulled over one of his guards and ordered, "In addition, find out who owns that butcher shop, and arrest any friends and relatives he has in the city."
After saying that, he suddenly looked towards the people in Luye and said, "You look a little embarrassed."
"Why, are outsiders not allowed to enter Lake City City now?" the female lord said calmly.
"Of course not. We welcome guests from far away, as long as you abide by the rules here." The captain of the wide-eyed guard took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hands.
He was a little surprised. After witnessing the bloody scene just now, most of the people on the street had more or less physiological reactions, and there was a faint hint of fear in their eyes looking at him. Only the group in front of him acted very...
It's calm.
This made him a little curious about the identities of Ilea and others.
At this time, a guard hurried over and whispered something in his ear. After hearing this, the wide-eyed guard captain's expression changed slightly.
"Sir Ferdinand, I didn't know you were here."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just staying here for one night. I will leave the city tomorrow and continue my journey." The head of the Bathory family said.
"I hope you and your people can enjoy your time in Lake City. I have some errands to attend to, so I'll excuse you now."
After speaking, the Kuantong guard captain left with the guards and prisoners.
Although there was a small episode, the female lord and her party finally arrived at the hotel smoothly.
Ferdinand has it all covered.
Ilea was tired after traveling for a few days. She was about to eat something and go back to her room to rest when she saw Jude coming down from upstairs, carrying a boy about twelve or thirteen years old in his hand.
The latter was struggling fiercely and said at the same time, "Let me go, let me go quickly! I'm not a thief!!!"
"Then do you want to explain why I found you on the wooden frame behind the window sill?" Jude said.
"I was just taking a nap there to bask in the sun! That's what I did before you guys came. Angie, the owner of the hotel, can testify for me that my father is Habifu, the butcher at the butcher shop next door."
After the young man said this, he found that the hotel suddenly fell into a strange silence, and no one spoke for a long time.
"What's wrong?" The young man didn't know what he said wrong. "You should just say something. I'm warning you that if I don't get home before sunset, my father will go to the security team for help. Then you can
It will be bad luck."
"What should I do?" Jude asked this question to the female lord.
Ilea coughed twice, but before she could speak, she heard a voice, "Please, adults, please save this child!"
The person who spoke was the hotel owner Anji, a dwarf who runs the hotel with his wife and two daughters.
"Save me? Why do you want to save me when I'm fine?!" The young man said in confusion, "Uncle Anji, you don't have to beg them, I don't believe they still dare to attack me in Lake City!"
"Shut up, Albus!" the dwarf, who always welcomed guests with a smile, suddenly turned serious and scolded.
Then he continued to plead with everyone, "I don't know why this child's father is so obsessed with things, but I can guarantee that this child is innocent and he knows nothing."
"Who said that, I know a lot of things!" Albus protested loudly, "I can clean the room, make honey apple pie, and feed the horses. In the future, I will become a squire of a knight!"
