The recruitment plan for the territory from the White Stone Territory has ended. A total of 300 recruits were called into the army. Allen divided them into three squadrons, the 1st Battalion 6th and 78th Squadron of the Green Wasteland Knights. Since they were all newly recruited recruits,
The most important thing now is training.
Allen was just about to visit the new recruits' training when he received the information brought by Andy.
The entire village of Yuantu Village in Bicao Territory was massacred!
Allen paused in his heart, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Andy, what do you think of this matter?"
"Lord Baron! The massacre of Yuantu Village occurred at dawn today. After investigation, the Shadow Branch detectives found that most of the people in the village were mutilated, which looked like the work of wild beasts. However, my subordinates guessed that this was done by humans!"
Andy secretly thought that when the Shadow Branch agents arrived at the scene, they were shocked by the scene. The entire village was slaughtered and the corpses were scattered all over the village.
"But there is a doubt!" Andy added.
"Oh! Tell me."
"That is, when the spies observed the corpses, they found that most of these corpses had obvious marks of being beaten with blunt instruments! This is probably the cause of death of these people, but my subordinates don't understand why the murderers dismembered the corpses! If they want to cover up the cause of death
, that shouldn’t leave traces of being beaten with a blunt instrument!”
"Dismemberment?" Allen's heart palpitated immediately. He was using blunt weapons to kill enemies and also liked to dismember corpses! The use of blunt weapons showed that the killer should be a humanoid with flexible hands. In addition, he liked to dismember corpses after killing people.
Lun had some guesses.
Gnoll!
I am really not very familiar with the Jackal Allen. I only found a few words from Viscount Bernard's library and the family study. In the family study, it was mentioned in a travel book that Jackals like to use blunt weapons.
After the death of the enemy, they took great pleasure in dismembering the corpse, which corresponds to what happened in Yuantu Village and is very consistent.
The reason why Allen did not guess that it was caused by humans is that Yuantu Village is close to the sea. In addition to the sea route, Yuantu Village can only be reached from White Stone Territory and Bi Cao Territory, and White Stone Territory and Bi Cao Territory are Allen and Buzz.
In the Baron's territory, a group of people passed through the territory, and there was no way to avoid the detection of Allen and Baron Butz.
In addition, most people are not bored enough to dismember a corpse, so the answer is obvious.
Thinking of this, Allen was slightly worried. If his guess was correct, then where did these jackals come from? How did they get to the Green Grass Territory? What is the purpose of coming here?
There have been no gnolls in the Principality of Kane for many years. The information he knew about gnolls was from books. Allen didn't even know what a gnoll looked like. A black dragon mountain range combined gnolls and Kane.
The principality is blocking both sides!
There are only three ways for the gnolls to reach the Principality of Kane. The first is to cross the sea and bypass the Black Dragon Mountains to reach the Principality of Kane.
The second is to cross the incredible Black Dragon Mountains to reach the Principality of Kane.
The third type is sold as a slave to the Principality of Kane by human traders.
However, since the Principality of Kane refuses foreign caravan trade, no caravans from other countries have come to the Principality of Kane for many years, so the third option is out of the question.
However, judging from the current situation, only the first two are most likely. However, even these two methods are extremely difficult. There are storms, sea monsters and pirates on the sea, and there are a large number of Warcraft living in the Black Dragon Mountains, and the forests are tall and dense, making it difficult to
Identify the direction.
But now these jackals have disappeared. Allen suspects that they have hidden in the Black Dragon Mountains and no traces can be found again.
However, these jackals are indeed a hidden danger to the Qinghuang Territory. No one knows when they will attack the Qinghuang Territory. Allen does not want a village to be massacred in his territory.
However, since these jackals could not be caught for the time being, Allen could only ask the Shadow Division to set up secret sentries around the Qinghuang Territory, and the Qinghuang Knights patrolled near the border of the territory every day.
"Then Sir Baron, do we want to give Baron Butz a shout?" Andy asked.
After all, Yuantu Village and the White Stone Territory are quite close. From a geographical point of view, only the White Stone Territory can bypass Bicao Town and launch an attack on the Yuantu Village. It is estimated that the White Stone Territory was the first one Baron Butz suspected.
"No need, since Baron Buz can think of joining forces with us, it means that he is not stupid, and he will definitely not suspect that it was me, Qinghuang Leader, who did it." Allen narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
…………
At this time, in the Fishing Castle, the angry Baron Butz was staring at Osmond who was below him.
Buz said bitterly: "Osmund, when I returned to Fishing Castle, I gave you the green grass collar to guard, but look at what you did! A village! A whole village was wiped out! What a mess!
Now people in the Green Grass Territory are in panic!"
"Lord Baron, this is a dereliction of duty on the part of my subordinates, and I, Osmond, am willing to punish you!" Osmond lowered his head and said in shame.
"Alas!" Butz sighed, it was useless to punish Osmond now, what happened has already happened.
"How's the investigation going? Have you found out who did it?" A cold light flashed in Baron Butz's angry red eyes.
"Sir, no, the murderer can't be found at all. Judging from the specific circumstances, the only suspect now is... Baron Allen!" Osmond said uncertainly.
"Alan? No, it's impossible!" Buz didn't quite believe that this was Allen's doing. After all, it was a time when the two territories were joining forces. Allen couldn't do anything to a small village, let alone massacre the village. This pair of
No good for Ellen!
"That could also come from the sea?" Osmond said with some doubt.
"Sea? Siren? No, Yuantu Village is far away from the sea. Although the Siren can walk on land, it can't go that far at all!" Baron Butz denied.
"Sir, there are not only sea monsters but also pirates on the sea!" Osmond reminded.
"Pirates!" Buz was shocked. This thing might really be the work of pirates. Pirates are murderous. Pirates often do this massacre of villages.
Buz shook his head helplessly. If this was really done by those pirates, then it would be difficult to avenge him!
When pirates plundered, they always fled in boats after the robbery. Now these pirates have probably returned to the sea. With the strength of the fish harvest leader, they can't be found at all. How can I take revenge?
Seeing that there was no hope of revenge, Baron Butz could only keep this matter in mind, put it down, and see if he could catch this group of pirates in the future.
"The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation in the Bicao Territory. Osmond, please spread the word about the pirates' attack on Yuantu Village, but tell the citizens of the Bicao Territory not to panic. The pirates have been defeated by the warriors in the territory.
, was driven back to the sea!" Now Baron Butz had no choice but to take this approach in order to stabilize the situation in the Green Grass Territory.
"Yes!" Osmond nodded in response and hurried to the Green Grass Territory.
