"Everyone stop, or I'll shoot him to death!" Jackson pointed the crossbow at Franz.
Quasimodo was the most decisive, grabbing a corpse with one hand and throwing it with all his strength towards the fastest running guard.
boom!
The corpse smashed the guards away, and the spilled blood dyed their bodies red and made them stop in shock.
"Franz, who gave you the courage to take my spoils?"
Downton stood up. Celes wanted to help him, but was pushed away.
"Untouchable, how dare you call my name? I will hang you!" Franz was furious, "I am the mayor of Morning Mist Town, have you forgotten?"
"Haha, the mayor who gives up on the townspeople?" Downton laughed.
"Who said I gave up? Am I not here?" Franz said confidently, but it could not change the contempt of the people around him.
"Okay, even if you didn't escape, didn't you see my regiment?" Downton walked up to Franz and looked directly at him without any hesitation.
This time, Walnut did not hold the flag. Instead, Jackson found the flag with a red cross on a blue background and an abstract fox pattern on it, and then raised it.
Franz looked at the corpses. Needless to say, they must have been caused by hatred. He felt a little timid, but he quickly raised his chest and said, "I am the mayor appointed by the Duke of the West. Do you have the guts to kill me?"
The guards laughed and defended their master, but their voices sounded a little guilty.
Downton also laughed, and then, in full view of everyone, he grabbed Franz's hair, pulled it off, and at the same time raised his knee and hit him in the nose.
boom!
Franz's nose was collapsed, he covered his mouth and fell to the ground, spitting out blood mixed with a few teeth.
Hiss, all the townspeople gasped. Unexpectedly, Downton actually beat up the mayor. This is simply lawless.
"Isn't he afraid of revenge?"
"How to take revenge? Downton is no longer the commoner he used to be, and with Dofink as his backstage, Franz can't do anything to him."
"You're so domineering, you even dare to beat up the mayor!"
The townspeople were talking a lot, and the guards were frightened and drew their weapons.
"I won't kill you. It's not because I don't dare, but because I don't want to dirty my hands." Downton snorted coldly, "This time I brought back the heads of three wanted gangsters, plus Tyson's, what do you think?
Can I get your life back in exchange?"
"More than that, these more than a thousand heads are enough for the owner to be promoted to the position of leader of a thousand people. It will not be a problem to be a sheriff in the town." Abagong came out of the war space and immediately ran to Downton to speak.
, "I can spare any of these heads."
"Downton, you'd better not be so greedy. If you know better, I can arrange a security captain position for you." The Sheriff threatened Downton.
"Only a captain? Huh, even if you give me the title of Sheriff, I won't care." Downton took a step forward, but the Sheriff was scared and subconsciously stepped back.
"You guys, help the master clean up the battlefield." Although Abagong was a goblin, he was much more useful than Jackson. He immediately drove the townspeople and guards to collect the corpses.
Of course some people are unwilling. But Abagong has many ways.
"Quasimodo, please." Abagon pointed, "There are probably spies of the gangsters among these people, and they need to be interrogated."
The threat in these words was very serious, and the townspeople had to obey obediently.
The guards looked at the sheriff.
"Downton, don't go too far." The Sheriff roared, spitting.
"This guy ran away when the gangsters came. It was probably their instigator who arrested him." Downton looked at the Sheriff with disdain. This kind of person was no longer qualified to talk to him on an equal footing.
When the Sheriff saw that Downton was not scared to death, he was also surrounded by hatred. He immediately jumped on the horse nervously, "Just wait and see, I will let you know the consequences of offending me."
The guards wanted to leave, but they were stopped by the abominations, who directly pressed the horse's head and knocked it to the ground.
"Don't be rude. Although these horses are ordinary, they can be sold for hundreds of gold coins each. In order to suppress the bandits, they were all requisitioned." Abagong is very good at calculating accounts. As long as the money in front of him, even a copper plate, will be
Won't let it go.
The guards were beaten up and even their mounts were robbed, but they could only eat the coptis and squat on the ground obediently to collect the corpses.
"Jackson, arrange for your subordinates to keep an eye on it and don't let them hide the loot." Abagon took out a pen and paper from his backpack and recorded the harvest.
"Your financial steward is very competent." Homer secretly praised him. It seems that Abagon was not lying. This kind of quality may indeed be passed down to a wealthy family in the era of hobgoblins.
"Hmph, how could the slave I captured be so bad?" Hutao raised his head, very proud.
Franz fainted and lay on the ground like a stray dog. No one came to help him.
The officers of the border guard were all cunning, hiding outside the town, listening to the noise coming, and then boldly came back.
Some soldiers sneaked into the townspeople's homes secretly and took the opportunity to rob their homes. Some of them wanted to grab the spoils of war, but before they could take action, they were beaten down by the hateful soldiers.
"Master, why don't you hang this guy up as a warning to others?" Jackson pointed at Franz.
"Do you think I'm not troublesome enough?" Downton rolled his eyes. He was not afraid of offending Franz, but he was worried that Dofink would feel that he was too arrogant and domineering.
More and more soldiers arrived, and when they saw the mayor, they were knocked unconscious and thrown aside. They didn't dare to cause trouble anymore and stayed away from here, but they all remembered the fluttering flag.
…
In the brightly lit reception room of Dagger Mine, dozens of representatives were wearing pajamas and making noises with anxious expressions on their faces.
Just now, five urgent Thorn Bird messages were delivered. Tyson's offensive attacked Chenwu Town ahead of schedule. The border guards and police officers were defeated and had to seek support from the mines.
"My lord, we must rescue, otherwise many of the more than 10,000 townspeople will die." The noble who spoke was just trying to save his family, and just found an excuse. Who cares whether those townspeople are alive or dead?
"I can't go. What if I want to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack the mine?"
The person who said this is that his family has left Chenwu Town. They only think about themselves now.
"What the hell, didn't you see what the letter said? More than three thousand gangsters appeared in the town. How could they still have the strength to attack here?"
"Then we can't go. How many militiamen can we muster in the mines? Should we leave the suppression of bandits to the border guards?"
The delegates got into a row, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they even had to perform a full-scale martial arts show.
Dofink sat behind the desk. He frowned and had no clue. Frankly speaking, he wanted to rescue, but he knew what those improvised miners' militia were. They were looking for death. As for the guards,
There are no extra manpower left to guard the mine.
"Chenwu Town, it's over!"
One representative suddenly held his head and sighed dejectedly.
The sound in the living room disappeared, and the representatives suddenly lost the energy to argue. In fact, they understood that Chenwu Town was ruined.
After Rocker lost three thousand-man troops, the troops were already stretched thin. Besides, everyone knew the quality of the border guards. It was simply impossible to rely on those guys with the nickname of the Worms of the West to defend. They only
It can fight with the wind and run faster than a rabbit when encountering strong enemies.
The atmosphere in the living room was very depressing. They felt heartbroken when they thought of their family's losses, and the most important thing was that after this incident, Chenwu Town would definitely no longer be the largest border town.
"Should we move out early? The gangsters who have tasted the sweetness will definitely come to rob us again!" Some representatives began to think about the future.
boom!
The door was knocked open, and the sudden loud sound startled everyone.
"What are you doing?" Dofink looked at the servant standing at the door and was furious. "Someone, drag him out and whip him a hundred times!"
"Sir, wait, it's good news!" The servant was startled and quickly raised the letter in his hand.
"What did you say? Good news? Where is it?" The representatives hurriedly gathered around.
"It's from Morning Mist Town. Downton led his troops to defeat the bandit coalition and beheaded more than 600 people. Tyson beheaded them on the spot!" the servant read loudly. If you bring such good news, you will usually be rewarded.
"What? How is this possible?" The representatives immediately thought of the young man who left in the afternoon. How could he do this?
"Are you sure?" Dofink pushed through the crowd and rushed over, grabbed the letter, quickly read it, and then laughed, "Haha, I really saw the right person."
The representatives were still hesitant, but as letters reporting victory continued to arrive, they finally believed that Chenwu Town was safe, and the bandit coalition suffered a huge setback, and even Tyson died.
Each force that sent the thorn bird message was taking credit for themselves, but they all gave the bulk of the head to Downton, and they were still saying good things for him. There was nothing they could do, who could let others have hundreds of heads of the gangsters?
In their hands, they can only please him. As long as Downton admits that they played a role in the defense battle, the credit will definitely be lost.
"Downton, your position as mayor is confirmed." Dofink was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Downton would reverse the situation, and then he was very interested in how he could deal with the bandit coalition.
"Downton is definitely our number one newcomer on the border!"
"Yes, they are better than Liszt and Eugene. At least they have not contributed to Morning Mist Town!"
The representatives were generous with their praises. They were all veterans. One look at Dofink's expression and it was clear that he would promote that young man. Moreover, after Downton had killed so many gangsters, he would definitely no longer be a civilian.
Selling a favor doesn't cost anything anyway.
"Yes, who is Liszt? He is just the son of the mayor, with no achievements at all. Eugene is a royal pharmacist, but he has not brought glory to Chenmist Town? He has never returned since he left.
My hometown, yes, there is also a Robinson, but he is just a young businessman."
Dofink, of course, wants to praise Downton, which is a gesture of goodwill to let him know that he can stand up to him in public.
"Let's hold a banquet, it should be a celebration!"
Some representatives suggested that when the crisis is over, it is natural to have fun and relax your mood. (To be continued...)
