The square suddenly became quiet, and almost everyone's eyes fell on Suldak.
The town officials present looked at Suldak who raised doubts in surprise. Their eyes were very complicated, and some even opened their mouths in an 'O' shape.
Many people at the scene were very unfamiliar with Suldak and wondered how he had the courage to stand up and defend the local indigenous people in the town.
Many aborigines were also discussing among themselves, trying to understand the brave man in front of them.
Suldak stood there and exhaled, looking at Mayor Marco with a calm face, and the smile on his face clearly showed the hateful look of "I'm here to disrupt the situation."
He was planning to tell Mayor Marco that after breakfast, Viru was hunting wanted criminals outside the city.
I never expected that Mayor Marco had planned to find a few scapegoats last night, and was waiting for him to come forward this morning. Everyone would sign and sign together to confirm the charges of these scapegoats, and then send them to the execution ground to end the case.
Finish.
I never thought that the town of Duodan would be in such a state of decay, that they would dare to publicly try these innocent aborigines in the town square, and no one would stop them...
No wonder the cavalry battalion commander of Langdon's Corps couldn't wait to lead his troops to leave.
After Suldak finished speaking, he walked straight to Mayor Marco. Suldak was half a head taller than Marco. However, Mayor Marco had a beard and sharp eyes, and his aura was not inferior to that of Su.
Wardak.
He glared at Surdak and said with suppressed anger: "If Commander Surdak has any different opinions, you can raise them at the town council. Don't waste our precious time now. Since the majority agrees with this proposal, then
I declare..."
Suldak reached out and pressed Mayor Marco's shoulder, and said before he could give the order: "Mayor Marco, we need a fair trial."
Mayor Marco stared at Suldak coldly, waiting for him to continue.
"If they are guilty, I am willing to swing my sword with my own hands and chop off their heads." Suldak said.
He lowered his voice and said: "But I want to know what the crime they committed is. I hope you didn't just arrest a few aborigines in the town... and do it perfunctorily."
The last words he said were only heard clearly by Mayor Marco and a few surrounding officials.
At this moment, the officials looked at Suldak with horrified expressions.
They glanced at Mayor Marco cautiously, fearing that the furious Mayor Marco would also get angry at them, so they all calmly took half a step back.
Suldak stared at Mayor Marco, not afraid of his sharp eyes that seemed to choose people to eat, and said bluntly: "Mayor Marco, please escort these aborigines in the town to the square.
To identify them as the masterminds of the robbery, there must be some conclusive evidence?"
Mayor Marco's forehead had veins bulging, and he said with a gloomy face: "Of course I have conclusive evidence. They are not only collectors in the town, but also secretly colluded with nearby indigenous tribes to form a bandit group outside the town.
Rob the town's adventure group outside the town."
He clenched his fists, resisted the urge to punch Suldak in the face, and continued:
“They gathered information about the adventure group in the town and sent them outside the town in advance so that they could set up an ambush in the forest outside the town.”
“These collectors, with Aung San as their leader, have recently been passing on information about adventure groups outside the town, and have committed crimes outside the town one after another in the past few months.”
“We have enough evidence, including witnesses from the indigenous people of the tribe.”
“In addition, just last night, the city defense personnel also learned the whereabouts of Aung San. He only climbed over the northern city wall and returned to the town last night. Most of these people have confessed.”
Then he turned to Mrs. Luna beside him and ordered: "Mrs. Luna, please take out the confessions of these aborigines and show them to Commander Surdak!"
Mrs. Luna quickly took out a folder in her arms and looked for the confession in which the ink was not even dry.
Surdak glanced at the aborigines waiting to be tortured on the other side of the punishment stone. He did not accept the confession in Mrs. Luna's hand, and said to Mayor Marco: "If I say that slaves were looted outside the city,
There is another person in the group, what would the mayor think?"
Mayor Marco narrowed his eyes and said to Surdak who was very close at hand:
“Then I would like to ask Commander Surdak, what evidence do you have?”
Suldak turned back to Weiru and Andrew behind him and said:
“Bring the box over, open it and show it to the mayor.”
As an indigenous warrior of the Nanai tribe in the Maca plane, Andrew couldn't bear to see this kind of imperial immigrants discriminating against the natives of the plane. Although this kind of thing often happens in the Maca plane, it is not so blatant after all.
Andrew opened the blood-stained lid of the box, and inside were heads soaked in light green tree sap.
Each head has a hideous appearance and is soaked in green antiseptic tree sap, making it look extremely disgusting.
This sap has a pungent and spicy smell that makes officials in the surrounding towns cover their mouths and noses.
Mayor Marco did not expect that Surdak would bring out a box of human heads. He frowned and asked coldly:
“These heads are...?”
Surdak took out a pile of wanted notices on parchment from his arms and placed them on the square table next to him. Then he didn't care about the sticky sap and reached out to pick up the human head soaked in it. According to these
The wanted notice was placed on the table, and the table was covered with sap and blood.
Suldak stretched out his hand to wipe off the sap on the head and face, and then said:
"These people are wanted criminals requested by the Wilkes City Guard Camp and the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group. The parchment notices in my hand contain their crimes and magical portraits, and of course some of their physical characteristics.
Avoid misidentification during the arrest process."
The surrounding town officials saw such a disgusting scene and couldn't help but retched in the spicy and pungent smell.
Suldak, with a cold face, asked the crowd around him: "Has the head of the adventure union in the town come?"
He guessed that there would be people from the Adventure Guild and the Trading Company coming to watch the fun, and sure enough, a middle-aged swordsman wearing exquisite magic-patterned leather armor squeezed out from the crowd.
The middle-aged swordsman kept his posture very low, put one hand on his right shoulder, saluted Surdak respectfully, and then said: "Sir Commander, I am willing to serve you at any time. I don't know what your orders are.
?”
Suldak stood in front of the square table, pointed at the wanted notice on the table, and said:
“You can’t say you don’t know about this, right? I think there should be a copy of this parchment notice on your guild’s notice board.”
The middle-aged swordsman put on a helpless expression and said with a smile: "Sir Commander, Dodan Town is located on a remote border, and the information here is relatively blocked. Many news from Wilkes City cannot be delivered in time.
come over."
Facing the row of heads on the table, his expression was very calm.
“So… is this the reason why you dare to allow them to appear in the Adventure Guild as adventurers?” Surdak pressed.
The middle-aged swordsman said with an innocent face: "Commander, where do we start with this! You said that you have appeared in the Adventure Guild, but I can't know everyone who comes to the Adventure Guild. To me, they are
They’re all new faces!”
Suldak snorted coldly, threw the head into the box again, and asked Andrew to carry it away.
Find a handkerchief and wiped the thick tree sap on his hands, and said to Mayor Marco unhurriedly:
"It was this group of people who robbed an adventure group in the forest outside the town. They were planning to kill the slaves and carry supplies to leave Dodan Town. Unfortunately, they met our cavalry battalion team last night. These wanted criminals were captured by us.
All the people were killed, and the corpses are still hanging in the forest. I think there should be no large carnivorous beasts in the forest outside the town. Those corpses should not be eaten clean by wild beasts in the forest overnight. I rushed to collect the corpses now.
If you have time, you may still be able to find the lost stolen goods at the scene. I think the stolen goods at the scene are the best proof that they robbed the adventure group."
Mayor Marco stared at Suldak and said in surprise:
“You actually found them? Where are they?”
Suldak looked at the trapped Aboriginal Aung San on the other side of the punishment stone and said:
“You can ask the collector named Aung San to take you there. He is more familiar with the forest outside the town. Our cavalry battalion has just arrived. If you let us lead the way, you might get lost in the woods outside the town..."
Mayor Marco’s face was uncertain, but he gave Hans, the captain of the city defense team, a look and asked him to bring Aung San here.
Among the crowd were a group of businessmen wearing gorgeous clothes. Their faces were very ugly at this time. Although they tried their best to hide it and maintained their original composure at all times, not all of them had such good self-cultivation.
He stayed in the square for a long time and then left in a hurry.
Aung San was brought here by the city guards. He did not dare to look at Suldak and Weiru for fear that they would get into trouble.
But I heard Suldak call out his name accurately: "Aung San, I would also like to ask you to take the mayor to the scene and retrieve the stolen goods at will. Do you remember the way?"
Aung San was hesitant, but he quickly reacted and nodded vigorously.
Mayor Marco waved his hand with a gloomy face and asked Captain Hans to untie the cloth and rope that sealed his mouth.
“Lord Commander!”
Aung San prostrates himself at the feet of Surdak.
"Go and lead the way for the mayor. By the way, don't forget to ask for the bounty from them. Go back as soon as possible. Don't delay and lead the way for our patrol. After all, we are new here and we are not familiar with the environment around the town.
familiar."
Suldak reached out and grabbed Aung San's shoulders, lifted him up from the ground, and said in a relaxed tone.
At this time, among the guards standing behind Captain Hans of the city defense team, someone recognized Viru, pointed at Viru behind Suldak, and introduced him to Captain Hans in a low voice: 'That person
This is the person who went into the city with Boss Aung San last night...'
Captain Hans could only look at Suldak with an extremely depressed look, feeling quite resentful towards him.
‘We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, why can’t we take a breath beforehand...?’
Those watching the excitement around the square also saw some clues. Although they were farther away and did not know the specific details, they were able to tell that Commander Surdak was actually the original leader of Dodan Town this time.
Residents come forward.
At this moment, some people in the crowd are happy, some are worried...
…
Suldak did not follow the search team organized by Mayor Marco out of the northern city wall, but Aung San, an aborigine in the town, became the guide.
The aboriginal collectors in front of the punishment stone were also released on the spot, and cheers from some aboriginal people immediately appeared in the square, and the sound was like a wave for a while.
Suldak, Vilu, and Andrew will return to the garrison camp. Wherever they go, the residents of the town will immediately make way for them to leave.
A group of cavalrymen in the garrison camp are doing morning exercises in the yard. They are currently taking the time to practice their riding skills. Under the careful training of twenty-seven local herdsmen, the cavalrymen's riding skills have improved significantly.
Suldak has already written to the elders of Watts Village, hoping that he can send some more men to Dodan Town if possible.
“You have completely offended Mayor Marco this time.” Andrew smiled and said to Suldak.
Suldak shrugged his shoulders, kicked away a piece of rubble on the roadside, and said: "Otherwise, what else can we do to make Dodan Town a mess? I just think this town can still be saved.
one time."
“Besides, I still need to use Duodan Town as a base to continue to expand territory to the north. It is impossible for the town to continue to be chaotic.” Surdak said.
Viru looked at Surdak and said, "You are quite confident about this beast wave."
Suldak said confidently: "There is nothing to worry about. Don't you think that the reason why Marquis Luther sent the Great Swordsman of Chester to Wilkes this time is to deal with this beast tide?"
He thought that if the beasts in the forest formed a tide, he would take out the gunpowder that had blasted through the rock formations of the river and blow up all the beasts into the sky.
Suldak analyzed: "Marquis Luther didn't mention this to me, but he arranged for our cavalry battalion to resist from the front, probably to see the cavalry battalion's defensive capabilities."
Andrew habitually stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ax handle, and said excitedly: "We still have some time to make preparations in advance. The more dangerous it is, the greater the harvest will be. This time I want to go to Invercargill Monster Forest."
look."
“It’s better for me to go. I originally wanted to hunt in the Warcraft Forest, but I didn’t expect to be delayed for three days by this matter!” Weiru continued.
After saying that, he changed direction and walked along a branch road towards the gate of the northern city wall.
Suldak patted Andri on the shoulder and said with a smile: "By the way, at noon, I made an appointment with the tailor shop owner to see the house. I will leave the border patrol to you first..."
