With Old John, a ranger who was familiar with the Apennine terrain, joining the team, Ladislaus and his party went south quite smoothly in the next few days, but after all, they had to worry about supplies and taking hidden routes.

Fugitives, after all, still have a huge disadvantage compared to pursuers who can get strong assistance from governments along the way and move as quickly as possible.

Knight Cassano and Miss Anna, who wasted two days chasing each other in the Apennine Mountains northeast of the Ligurian city, realized that if Ladislao did escape from this direction, they should leave some traces anyway, and on the third day they conducted investigations.

Turn around and pursue south.

However, due to the delay in time, Knight Cassano had no hope of catching up with Ladislaus. Who knew which mountain pass Ladislaus would take in the Apennine Mountains?

It was decided that the entire elite team must catch up with him so that we can be confident that we can deal with him.

Once the pursuit breaks out, it becomes a food delivery.

Now it is only because of Anna's insistence that the pursuit team continues to move south. Along the way, Anna forced officials to mobilize a large number of horses and prepare a large amount of supplies beyond the need in order to seize the time. The place was in chaos, but no one could

I dare not touch the bad luck of Miss Anna Sieber, who has lost her brother.

The turning point came when they met the mayor of Apple Town who was asking for help from Liguria. On the handkerchief he was carrying, Pastor Steve wrote a briefing in blood, which quite accurately described a person who could use level 4 orbs.

The caster of Ice Storm and a one-armed, one-eyed servant, the whereabouts of the fugitive were finally clearly exposed.

Of course, even Miss Anna did not believe the envoy's oath that the two gangsters "colluded with the Cancer Mage". Ms. Plague was the enemy of all order, and Habsburg was the undoubted beneficiary of the current order.

and supporters, will help Lady Plague, unless the brain-dead plague got into Ladislaus's head first.

Even so, Captain Cassano immediately sent envoys to instruct the surrounding towns under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Liguria to make every effort to arrest the "most dangerous criminals against humanity". He was already eager to return to the colorful world of Liguria City.

The warriors of the Xibo family promised three guarantees, promotion and salary increase, and a house.

In the name of the consul family, Anna also offered a bounty of 10,000 talers to several good players from the local shadow union in Liguria who were also pursuing the pursuit. Leaders including the leader of the thieves, the priest Musk, even received a bounty that could expand the gold.

The promise of finger formation and range of motion.

The chasers, who were in high spirits, rushed to Apple Town that night.

But when the Ligurian pursuit team entered the trade road town, Pastor Steve was leading a few law enforcement warriors left behind by the escaped mayor and dozens of strong men he had temporarily organized to hold on to his "bloody battle"

Where is the town hall that was recaptured?

Pastor Steve, who would shine brightly in the future, was indeed extraordinary. As soon as the encounter in the tavern was over, he realized that the warlocks or mages who could use such powerful arcane spells as ice storm were unlikely to be specially used to deal with him.

The believers of Lady Night who robbed rather than organized also confirmed his suspicion.

So even though the mayor heard him say that a powerful cancer mage who believed in Tarona, the Plague Lady, was ready to raze the town and immediately - this was really immediate, he said that he was listening to the content after the three words "cancer mage" as he walked.

Better yet, immediately set off to the Ligurian city to request an army. In the short three minutes it took Pastor Steve to write the blood letter, he urged him no less than ten times.

Pastor Steve did not run away, but encouraged several of the mayor's guards to go with him to defend his home.

As Ladislaus left the chaotic town, Pastor Steve reorganized the force left behind after the mayor escaped and fought back to the town hall.

When he returned home, he saw an empty treasury and wailing family members. He calmly sounded the alarm first, organized all the men from dozens of families who usually tended to him, and distributed them with wooden sticks and pitchforks.

Weapons. The intention is to start to eliminate the gangsters and thugs who are seeking revenge and making money without revenge in the small town.

A few lazy idlers who took advantage of the chaos and wanted to make a fortune were hanged from the crooked-neck tree in less than half an hour.

The Church of Shar was somewhat organized. After hearing the alarm, a few people who did not want to run away immediately gathered at the tavern where they usually communicated. Under the organization of the tavern owner, some of the dozen thugs temporarily took a few short bows.

Or the sling can double as a projectile, and it wouldn't be too bad to use it against those strong men who are not even militiamen.

Encouraged by Pastor Steve, he reluctantly launched a charge into the tavern, but the momentum was lost just because of the wailing of two strong men after bleeding. When the tavern owner led a few warriors and rushed out of the tavern with a roar, Steve

The priest could only take a few warriors and a dozen strong men back to defend his town hall in the chaos.

Fortunately, the Shar believers had no intention of attacking the town hall, which was actually somewhat defensive, and instead began to rob the wealthy merchants in the town. Pastor Steve only persisted until reinforcements arrived.

As early as half a mile outside the town, Anna's Pohnpei spiritual pet had already informed the Xibo family team about the situation in the town. Obviously, there would be no one among the thugs who were busy robbing who would not participate in the robbery.

As a sentinel, the pursuer team, led by Knight Cassano and Pastor Musk, entered the town in battle formation.

I never expected that the Ligurian crusade would be so powerful and so fast. Facing enemies wearing fine leather armor or even chain armor, the robbers instantly collapsed. Only a limited number of two or three of them had such a piece of equipment.

Tattered leather armor. It is natural for most thugs without armor to be shaken when facing enemies with armor, not to mention the heavy armor equipped by Cassano and Pastor Mask.

Anna's flaming arrows destroyed the confidence of the last few Shar followers who relied on their own strength and wanted to cause some trouble.

Less than an hour after this overwhelming force entered, order was restored in Apple Town.

Most of Lady Night's followers were hacked to death or hung from trees, while a few fled into the nearby forest.

The mayor and Pastor Steve who were accompanying him had even prepared a banquet before nine o'clock. It was not a sumptuous banquet, but at least it contained enough white bread.

The pursuit team, which had only used knives and met with blood, was already mixed with good and bad. After drinking a few glasses of ale, they actually asked the ladies and ladies of Apple Town to come to the banquet.

If the visitors are all members of the Sibo family of the Republic of Liguria, then it would be a good thing to get in touch with them. However, how could the leading figures in the town fail to see that some of the noisy pursuers are not tall, handsome, or rich people?

Naturally, they didn't want to let the family members who had been in panic and fear all day have to be harassed by these guys. Besides, the most senior consul lady didn't even plan to eat, and wanted to immediately pursue the escaping Ladislaus.

My own female relatives are even more unable to get into it.

In the end, of course, it was Knight Cassano and Pastor Musk who suppressed the excitement of the entourage after seeing blood and Anna's impetuous request to pursue overnight.

Of course, Pastor Steve shuttled through regardless of the tiring day, and even the absent-minded Miss Anna was deeply impressed by his alertness and ability.

The group of people decided to rest for a day at the town hall of Apple Town and continue the pursuit the next day. In any case, they still had an advantage over the group of escapees who wanted to camp.

But Ladislaus probably won't regret it, because fighting and then winning is something that no one should ever regret.
