The chaotic crowd limited the pursuit of Avery and others.
By the time dozens of Munich City Guard knights arrived, the remaining four murderers had already taken advantage of the chaos and disappeared into the intricate alleys of the city.
On Nanmen Street, there were only a few burnt carriages, scattered flour, corpses scattered everywhere, shocking pools of blood, and shoes and other debris that were lost in the chaos, telling the story of the fierce battle just now.
.
The medical officers who came with the team quickly began to treat injured civilians and soldiers. The wounded were carried under the eaves of the street and discharged for dozens of meters. The sounds of pain, groans, and crying could not be heard.
Groups of Munich City Guard soldiers arrived one after another and blocked the entire street with murderous intent. The knights in the group were sprinkled into the city like beans, and a search was launched. Martial law was ordered at the four city gates, and strict inspections were carried out regardless of entry or exit.
, and sent five times more guards.
For the Principality of Lullian, this is definitely a provocation and insult of extremely egregious nature.
During this period of time, various forces gathered in Lulian, and the undercurrent was already raging and ready to move. It was only because of the fear of Archduke Adolf that they restrained themselves.
If this matter is not brought to light and these people are allowed to go unpunished, then there is no guarantee that some people will think that Lulian is weak and can be bullied and follow suit. By that time, Lulian has made countless sacrifices, and the peace and tranquility he has just gained
, will be destroyed again.
This is something every Lurian doesn't want to see.
At this moment, on Nanmen Street, groups of heavily armed soldiers formed two rows of human walls to separate the crowd. In the open space in the center, there were the bodies of several attackers. Commander Fano of the Munich City Guard who was present at the scene
and Kahn, Archduke Adolf's personal guard, were listening to Avery and Todd's report with serious faces.
"So, the carriage is only loaded with grain?" Kahn, with a gray beard, frowned as he stared at the charred carriage and the goods such as flour, smoked fish and bacon that were messy with mud, footprints and blood on the ground.
He frowned and asked, "How much is it worth?"
"There is a shortage of food now. These goods were bought from Gaolong Port in the south. If you include the cost of traveling and hiring mercenaries, they cost almost 50,000 gold royal langs." A clerk in charge of statistics replied.
"But that's not the point," Fano said to Kahn. "The point is, these grains belong to the dwarves."
"Oh?" Kahn's eyes swept over the several dwarves who were being questioned, and he seemed to understand something. He nodded solemnly.
"I heard from Todd that this convoy was attacked on the road. And the attackers were soldiers pretending to be bandits." Fano sneered, "It seems that our guests are preparing to drive the dwarves to a dead end and force them to
Just give in."
"Tens of tens of thousands of gold coins are probably not enough to kill a dwarf..." Kahn looked at Fano and said slowly.
"This is the report we have received in the past few days. There are more than one such case. However, this is the first time that someone dares to do something openly in Munich." Fano handed a parchment to Kahn.
.
Kahn unfolded it and took a look. Not only was he furious: "These bastards are simply lawless!"
"This kind of thing..." Fano sighed, "If it were normal, we would have fallen out directly. However, now that the demons are invading, from a human standpoint, even the Grand Duke would turn against him. After all,
, when the demons come and blood flows, no one will care about these things."
Kahn was silent. He turned to look at a few dwarves not far away who were dejectedly responding to the clerk's inquiry, and said: "I will report this matter to the Grand Duke. I don't care what these people want to do, but they are doing it openly in Munich."
Killing someone violates our bottom line."
He snorted coldly: "It's time for them to wake up. Don't think that they can do whatever they want in Lulian!"
"Of course!" Fano also had an iron-faced face, looking coldly at the captured magician and the seriously injured Glory Knight, and said, "Since they dare to provoke Lulian's law and order, they must pay the price.
Get ready. If you don't show them how powerful we are, they will think that our Munich Guard is just for show!"
"That's it," Kahn nodded, turned to look at Todd, smiled slightly and praised, "Colonel Todd, you did a good job. It seems that you have gained experience in the battle in the fjord."
"I just did what I was expected to do," Todd looked ashamed. "Moreover, when we arrived in Munich, we had people destroy the convoy. The battle just now had no effect. It was all thanks to Mr. Avery and
Mr. Leo..."
"Leo." Kahn and Fano chewed on the name and turned their attention to the young mercenary not far away.
"Is he really just a knight of justice?" Kahn asked doubtfully.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with the four battle rings," Avery said. "It is the level of the peak of the five-star justice. However, the real combat power can only be described as unfathomable. No ordinary glory knight can be his opponent!"
"Oh?" Kahn and Fano looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Through Avery and Todd's previous reports, they learned that if this young man hadn't taken action in today's attack, the gang of thugs would have escaped unscathed.
Among the twelve thugs, he killed five, seriously injured one Glory Knight, and captured a magician alive. It can be said that these thugs fell completely into his hands.
What is surprising is that in terms of fighting spirit, he is just a just knight.
It's not like we have never seen someone kill someone by leapfrogging their rank. But it's really rare for someone like Leo to nearly crush a Glory Knight with four more battle rings.
This is enough to show that his combat skills, body movements, footwork, and combat experience are far superior to those of ordinary impartial knights. He even exceeds them to such an extent that he can ignore the gap in fighting spirit.
"If I'm not wrong, this Mr. Leo is probably a genius who came from a wealthy family to gain experience," Fano sighed. "Since the invasion of the demons, the younger generation of strong men have emerged in endlessly. They are really the best among human beings."
Fortunately, we may not lose this battle."
When it came to the demon clan, everyone was silent for a while.
Todd asked: "Sir, the demon army going south is now..."
"The Anxia County in the center of the Cannotti Province of the Pompeii Empire has been conquered," Kahn said. "The defenders collapsed at the first touch and almost couldn't wait to open the way for the demons to go south."
Fano nodded, confirmed Kahn's statement, and said: "His Majesty has ordered the deployment of troops to the north. Once the demons cross the border of Saint Solan, they will be attacked head-on. The southern part of the continent is the last line of defense for mankind. No matter what, it cannot
Let this demon army march straight in."
"Hmph!" Avery couldn't help but snorted coldly, "It's a pity that there are always some people who don't understand this truth. Seeing that our Solan Empire is far away, I always feel that they have suffered a disadvantage and that we have taken advantage. I wish I could kill all the demons.
Bring it here. When the Fei Lie Empire invaded, who stood by and even planned to take advantage of it?"
"There is no point in talking about this now," Kahn shook his head and said, "The demons are the life and death enemy of all humans. Your Majesty also takes the overall situation into consideration, hoping to unite the three empires to fight against the enemy. This battle is related to
Humanity's survival is at stake, if we continue to fight among ourselves, we may not be far from destruction."
After saying that, Kahn flipped his horse's head: "Okay, I will go back and report to the Grand Duke first. You will carefully investigate the identities of these people. If you find out, no matter who they are, they will give us Lulian an explanation. Huh, here.
In this land, it is not their turn to be so reckless!"
He looked at a few dwarves, thought for a while, and said: "General Fano, after all, this convoy was attacked in Munich. I suggest that we should compensate for the losses. Their situation is difficult, the Grand Duke
In fact, I can’t bear it. We can’t do anything else, so we can only make up for it in this way.”
Fano nodded and said, "I understand."
Kahn rode away, and Fano waved his hand to signal the troops to retreat. Groups of soldiers lined up neatly, escorting the prisoners, and headed towards the South Gate Military Camp.
Avery and Todd walked beside Roy at the same time.
"Let me formally meet you," Avery smiled and bowed slightly to Roy, "My name is Avery, deputy commander of the Knights of the Munich City Guard."
"I have long admired your name, General Avery. It is my honor to meet you." Roy returned the greeting with a smile, "Leo."
"Why have you admired your name for so long?" Avery sighed with a wry smile, waved his hand, and said mockingly, "If you hadn't helped me just now, I, the newly appointed deputy commander, would have been completely humiliated.
They went wild on the territory and killed and injured so many of their subordinates, not even a single one of them could be caught."
"Who are these people?" Roy asked curiously, "How dare you be so arrogant in Munich!"
Avery smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"And," Roy asked curiously, "why did they attack a convoy transporting food? Food is so scarce now. What's the benefit of burning the food? It can't be taken away."
I don't know if it was because he was grateful to Roy for helping or for some other reason, but Avery felt very cordial to the young mercenary. When he heard the question, he looked around and whispered: "Leo, you are probably the third mercenary."
Come to Munich once?"
"Yes." Roy nodded and added in his mind, "This is the first time in the past two months."
"If you've been here, it wouldn't be surprising," Avery sighed. "Do you know why these dwarves don't go all the way to the south to buy food?"
Roy shook his head. Although he had some vague guesses in his mind and learned some details from the dwarf, he needed Avery's confirmation.
"Because in Munich, no one will sell food to them." Avery said, "Not only the dwarves, but also barbarians, elves, dwarfs and other foreign races."
