Chapter 16 Capture the Thief First and Capture the King
"You want to arrest me first without asking about the situation?" Paul asked, looking at the squadron leader.
"Hey, what do you have to ask? The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group has been in Man City for so many years. They are a legal mercenary group stationed in Man City. How could they cause trouble in their own city?" The squadron leader said as if nothing had happened.
replied.
Paul is not a mercenary, so naturally he is not very clear about the mercenary system. When a mercenary group reaches a certain scale, it can set up a headquarters in a certain city, either in the wild or in the city. Of course, the location of the headquarters needs to be paid for by yourself.
Money buys and builds.
Most mercenary groups will choose to stay in the city. After all, the city is much safer than the wild, and it is easier to contact customers and receive tasks. Once a mercenary group sets up its headquarters in the city, it will be considered a mercenary in the city where they are located.
A mercenary regiment is stationed there.
If a mercenary group that becomes a stationed mercenary group encounters war, civil strife, riots, etc. during the period of stationing, they are obliged to help the city where they are stationed defend the city, maintain order in the city, suppress riots, and other corresponding obligations.
In contrast, during peacetime, the city guards stationed in the city will also provide protection for the headquarters of its mercenary regiments, and if the city issues any public tasks, they will also give priority to the mercenary regiments stationed there, so it can be said that
The city guard and the stationed mercenary regiment are two inseparable entities, separated by mountains and rivers.
In addition, sometimes some matters that are inconvenient for the public will be entrusted to the stationed mercenary group, so the relationship between them can be said to be inhumane.
Although Paul didn't know what the relationship was between the stationed mercenary regiment and the city guard at this time, he could still understand what he was saying, so he sneered and replied: "So no matter what? It's all about first
Catch me?"
"There's so much nonsense, just hurry up and catch him, and you won't have to suffer the pain of flesh and blood." The squadron leader didn't know Paul's strength. In his opinion, such a young man didn't have any fighting spirit fluctuations, so he couldn't catch him easily.
We were notified of a large-scale group conflict, and five hundred people were brought in. It seemed like it was a bit of a fuss.
According to his opinion, when the young man saw the appearance of the city guards, he would immediately surrender. After all, not everyone can break the rules of the entire continent.
However, although not everyone can touch the rules of the mainland, there is one kind of person who is not in this category, and that is the strong.
And Paul is just such a strong man. Although Paul only has the strength of the ninth level, when it comes to actual combat ability, Paul is confident. With his amazing speed and weird moves, he is fully capable of being strong from the Saint level.
The enemy's men retreated completely.
Paul glanced at Cesar the Blood Fox and the squadron leader, curled his lips, and with a trace of evil in his eyes, said: "As expected, we are a family of officials and bandits. Come here and try if you have the ability to see what you can do to me, your young master."
."
What Paul hated most in his life was the collusion between officials and gangsters. He was too lazy to control corrupt officials and could not control them. He had tried countless methods to eliminate corrupt officials in the past dynasties, but none could prevent the emergence of corrupt officials. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty,
Even the "60,000 head sacrifices of corrupt officials" failed to prevent the emergence of corrupt officials. What can he do?
Moreover, the existence of corrupt officials is inevitable. Only their existence can bring out the greatness of honest officials, which is why there are so many legendary stories circulating in the world.
From the perspective of Taoist cultivation, the yin pole generates yang, and the yang pole generates yin. Corrupt officials and honest officials are complementary to each other. As long as corrupt officials do not cause harm to either party, Paul will not bother to care about them, and he is not very resistant to the existence of corrupt officials.
But the nature of the collusion between officials and bandits is different. Officials mainly exist to suppress bandits, to maintain law and order, and to stabilize society. Even corrupt officials will sever ties with the underworld, and will resolutely attack the underworld if they encounter it.
, because once they have a relationship with the dark forces, they cannot be called officials, but thieves, thieves who steal everyone's life support. Such people will not be allowed to exist regardless of any force. Generally speaking, this kind of person
People like this will become the winners of the disaster, so Paul has no good impressions of this kind of people at all, and the squadron leader has now successfully aroused Paul's murderous intention.
The squadron leader did not expect that Paul's attitude would be so tough. As a squadron leader in a medium-sized city, and not yet a strategically important city, the only people who could control him in this city were the few people who could be counted, and the others.
Everyone has to nod and bow when they see him. When have they ever been contradicted like this?
So Paul's tough attitude at this time suddenly ignited his anger. "Come on, catch him alive. I want him to know what life is worse than death." The squadron leader roared.
According to the mercenary rules, once the city guard encounters a mercenary group stationed in the city while performing a mission, the top leader of the city guard can directly take over the highest command of the mercenary group stationed in the city. Therefore, if the squadron leader shouts this, even if it is Sesa
Er knew that the young man in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he had no choice but to rush forward.
Cesar now greeted all the women of this idiot squadron leader in his heart. Although Cesar's full sword just hurt the right hand of the young man in front of him, he still felt that it did not cause too much damage to the young man.
Injury, don't ask him why, this is the intuition of a warrior. Although Cesar has a hot temper and is willing to fight with his life, in fact, he is still extremely sensitive to the feeling of danger. The reason why he usually fights without his life is because he does not feel it.
to the point where his life would be in danger.
But now it was different. Cesar felt keenly at this moment that a dangerous aura was approaching him, and the source of this dangerous aura seemed to be the young man in front of him.
When he saw the murderous intent flashing in Paul's eyes, Cesar even had an illusion for a moment. If he rushed forward now, he would definitely be killed by the young man in front of him in an instant. So the one who rushed forward would definitely be killed by the young man in front of him.
In the process, Cesar gradually slowed down his speed, retreated into the main force, and hid his whereabouts.
Paul squinted his eyes and looked at everything that was happening in front of him. When he saw Cesar disappearing into the crowd, Paul said to himself: This kid knows his name. Then he targeted the man who was still riding the horse.
On the squadron leader.
Paul still understood the principle of catching the thief first. With a "swipe" sound, Paul unfolded his figure, used his big eagle claw hand with all his strength, and rushed towards the squadron leader.
The Eagle Claw Hand can be said to be the most domineering among the ancient Chinese martial arts. Once it is used with all its strength, even ordinary martial arts masters have to temporarily avoid its edge, let alone these ordinary city guards and mercenaries.
.
At this time, wherever Paul passed, miserable howls continued. Anyone who was touched by Paul's hands would have their flesh and blood torn out, or even their arms and legs would be broken.
Fortunately, although Paul was determined not to hold back, facing these city guards and mercenaries who were just following orders from above, he still had a kind thought in his heart and did not make a fatal move. The Eagle Claw hand was not used during the execution.
It didn't hit these people's chests or other fatal parts, it just made them lose the ability to fight again.
As soon as the squadron leader saw the momentum of Paul's attack, he knew that he might have kicked an iron plate today. When he saw Paul heading straight towards him, he was so frightened that he quickly turned his horse around and planned to escape.
It was also the squadron leader who was frightened by Paul's momentum of rushing towards him. He wanted to turn the horse's head in the crowd. He forgot that in this kind of melee with people everywhere, it was better to force the horse's head to turn.
, it would be safer to dismount and blend into the crowd.
Moreover, his movement of turning the horse's head was so obvious that he could clearly see his movements from a long distance away. When Paul saw how his movements could not allow him to do what he wanted, the movements of his hands immediately became a little faster.
In an instant, Paul's hands transformed into claws, which he shot towards the people around him, frightening those who besieged him into retreating.
Paul took advantage of the moment when everyone was retreating and the attack paused, flew up, stepped on the head and rushed towards the squadron leader.
Because Paul unfolded his figure so fast, the people who besieged Paul felt that their eyes were suddenly blurred, and they lost track of him. However, the squadron leader could see clearly because of the distance, and saw the sudden figure beside Paul.
After making a wave of palm shadows, he flew up to the top of everyone's heads, stepped on their heads, and rushed towards him.
Paul's unusual behavior immediately startled the squadron leader, and by the time he wanted to abandon his horse and run away, it was already too late.
With a crisp sound of "Dang~!", Paul fell back into the crowd again, while the squadron leader flew off the horse backwards, spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, and fell to the ground, where he knew whether he was alive or dead.
It turns out that at that moment, although Paul pressed his palm on the chest of the squadron leader, his forward momentum was exhausted and he had to fall into the crowd besieging him. However, Paul was sure that just now
With that blow, even if the squadron leader survived, half of his life was lost.
Just when Paul fell into the crowd and had not yet stood still, a sword gleam mixed with golden fighting spirit shot out from under the ribs behind his right hand. Paul was immediately furious and opened his mouth and shouted: "Seeking death." After saying this,
He didn't even dodge the sword light. He knocked back his right elbow and hit the master who issued the sword light.
At this time today, Cesar has been numbed by the excitement of this young master. First, he used his sword energy at an astonishing speed, and then directly killed the enemy general among thousands of people.
Cesar had been hiding behind the crowd besieging Paul and never took action because he was waiting for the moment when Paul showed his flaw, and just when Paul killed the squadron leader, he was completely castrated.
Just when he was about to land, Cesar knew that the opportunity had come. Because no matter who kills the opponent in front of him, the vigilance in his heart will be relaxed for a moment, so at the moment when Paul's front toes just touched the ground,
, he took action.
The timing of Cesar's attack was not bad. It was at the moment when Paul's forefoot had just touched the ground and his back heel was about to land, making it difficult for his legs to exert force. Cesar was confident that he could severely injure Paul in one fell swoop.
.
Cesar's attack was not perfect, but it was a pity that he encountered Paul, who had extremely rich experience in actual combat. He never expected that Paul would not avoid him, but rushed towards him with his back turned.
He was in a posture of destroying all enemies, and judging from the current situation, even if he could seriously injure Paul, Paul's elbow would hit his chest. He had no confidence in saving his life under Paul's full blow.
So Cesar had no choice but to withdraw and retreat quickly, and at the same time returned his sword to block Paul's offensive, intending to escape into the crowd again to look for opportunities. But how could Paul give him another chance? Taking advantage of the short period of time when Cesar returned his sword,
Quickly turning around in the air, the two pairs of clawed shadows chased Cesar, who was retreating, with a whistling sound that broke through the air.
Paul was now filled with anger. When he saw this kid disappearing into the crowd, he thought that this kid had sensed the situation and knew that it was not his opponent who was retreating. Originally seeing him retreat, Paul had planned not to cause trouble for him, but who would have thought that this was the case.
The kid was definitely planning a sneak attack.
Under Paul's full attack, Cesar's sword defense was broken through in just three or two moves, and his powerful eagle-clawed hand went straight towards his throat. Seeing that Cesar was about to die, Paul
But suddenly he felt a commotion in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, so he immediately stopped his moves and retreated quickly.
The moment Paul retreated, a fireball landed on the spot where Paul was standing. Then the fireballs chased Paul's retreating figure like a machine gun and swept towards him. Until Paul
After exiting the encirclement and arriving at the dilapidated hut from a new station, the machine gun-like fireballs stopped.
In fact, even if the continuous fireballs don't stop, Paul has no intention of retreating. After all, he is the master who can even take a full blow from a seventh-level golden swordsman with his fist. The reason why he dodged just now is because of Paul's knowledge of the magic of this world.
He doesn’t know the characteristics of the girl very well and doesn’t want to take action rashly. Moreover, he has already retreated to the front of the hut. Going back is Sister Lisa’s small shabby house. Even if he wants to retreat now, he has nowhere to retreat, and he can’t.
Retreating.
After the fireball stopped, Paul raised his head and looked in the direction in which the fireball was flying. He saw a great swordsman on the street with four men in robes rushing towards here quickly.
