A warm current comes...
Russell silently said, thank you, system.
But Brother Nayantu Lu was suspicious and cunning, so he made a new request.
"You have to leave your troops here. How do I know if you can come back within 3 days? If you are killed by the wanted criminal who is running away, you have to compensate for the time I wasted.
Let's do this, if you can't come back, your troops will be my slaves from now on! Of course, if you come back, but you don't bring back the damn head, they will also be my slaves. It will be agreed in 3 days
It’s noon, right here in Amashico, fair enough, right?”
"Brother Yan Tu Lu, you are really... really smart."
The "shameless old Yinbi" sentence that was about to be cursed was finally suppressed.
"Hmph, there is no need for you to say anything against your will. Let me tell you one last thing. This wanted criminal is called Brad. Go quickly!"
Russell looked at Safiya, and everyone could see the worry in his eyes.
"It's okay, you go ahead. Owens is here to take care of me. It's okay."
"I...I'll be back soon."
So, Russell alone set off on a starry night journey to Uruzdak Fort...
Seeing Drasel's figure fading away, Brother Nayantu Lu could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.
His laughter aroused goosebumps in Safiya. "Big Beard, why are you laughing?"
"This kid is really stupid. I came back from Uluzdak Fort.
According to the tip, the wanted criminal Brad escaped and came here, hahahahaha!"
"What!? You bad guy, scumbag! Owens, go and recover De Lacey..."
Before Safiya could finish her words, Brother Nayan Tulu gagged her mouth with a cloth.
"I don't want to cause any trouble with the Kingdom of Swadia. It's too early to touch you now.
After all, he is also a noble of the kingdom and a lord. When he comes back, as agreed, I will take care of you."
Having said this, Brother Yantu Lu seemed to be full of confidence, as he was sure that Russell would not be able to catch the wanted criminal.
Next, Safiya and the remaining soldiers of De La Serre, along with Owens, were captured and imprisoned.
At this time, Drasel was still rushing on his way when suddenly the system came online.
【new task】
[Capture the wanted criminal Brad, the latest report, he is in the village of Amashico.]
"Oh no, this shameless old guy actually lied to me!"
Fortunately, there was a prompt from the system, and Russell realized that he was too unconscious.
It was obvious that it was that guy's little trick, so why did he act blindly without thinking more about it?
Still lacking experience, this continent is also full of intrigues.
At this moment, Russell was so angry that he immediately turned around and rushed to the village of Amashico.
And this back and forth wasted a whole day's work.
After returning to the village of Amashico, Drasel found that Brother Nayantulu had kept his promise.
There are currently no forced taxes and farmers are still in a safe and peaceful state.
But he could not find the whereabouts of his troops and Safiya.
That night, everything was silent.
He quietly reached the village chief's home. The village chief's family was relatively wealthy and was lighting candles.
There was still a dim light in the house, and suddenly I saw a shadow that flashed past and was in front of me.
The village chief was startled by the sudden appearance of the baron and almost rolled off the bed to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to ask you, where are Safiya and my soldiers?"
"Honorable Earl de la Serre, you have been kind to our village, and I am willing to tell the truth.
They were imprisoned by Lord Nayan Tulu, but they were not harmed."
This news made Russell frown and furious.
"Haha, does he think that I will definitely not be able to catch the wanted criminal?
So he has treated my troops and my people as his private property?"
"I don't know about this, Lord Yantu Lu doesn't trust me.
You don’t usually communicate with me too much, but I know where the wanted criminals are."
Upon hearing this, Russell suddenly beamed.
"How did you know?"
"Baron, I have lived here for more than 50 years, and I clearly remember every visit to the villagers.
Suddenly a stranger I don't know comes here, how could I not see that he is here now..."
"Okay, thank you for telling the truth, village chief."
The village chief nodded to show respect and replied: "You are so polite, Baron. I would also like to thank you for killing the beast for us."
According to the village chief, the wanted criminal Brad is currently hiding in the village stables, trying to survive the night.
In the time it took him to burn an incense stick, Drasel tiptoed to the stable.
"Damn it, the smell here is really bad, and this guy can really endure it."
Between a few horses, there was a poor young man lying there, exuding a terrible stench.
