A group of ghostly vampires, tempted by a large amount of money, set off from the capital of the Goa Kingdom overnight to Windmill Village.

Fearing that the march in the middle of the night would attract unnecessary attention, Richard, a veteran tax collector with extensive tax collection experience, chose the shortcut route that required the 'uncertain object terminal', but chose a slightly more risky path that could be attacked by wild beasts and would take an extra hour to travel, but almost no one would choose to travel through the woods at night.

The beast is certainly a certain threat, but after getting the thirty regular soldiers of the city defense army supported by his brother-in-law, Richard, who is strong in his own force, can't care too much about carrying the torch and taking the lead into the forest.

Perhaps the beasts in the forest were well fed today, or they were indeed frightened by the fanfare of the humans, and the fifty or so tax-collecting troops led by Richard encountered a few bighorn deer in one night, and easily drove them away with a few casual swings of torches, and the group actually arrived at the entrance of the windmill village before the sun rose without paying any casualties.

There were no casualties, but after tossing all night, whether it was the soldiers of the city defense army who had a bright appearance, or the members of the tax collection team who were accustomed to showing off their might to the villagers and had not been seriously trained for a long time, they were tired enough, and after seeing the big Dutch-style windmills on the outskirts of the windmill village, they said that they would not leave anything, and they had to rest for a while before they were willing to continue moving forward.

Although Richard, who was tempted by gold like a hundred claws, was anxious, he also knew the truth that speed is not enough, in order to be able to suppress the swordsman who might exist, (according to what the dead informer said, Richard guessed it himself!) Asking the soldiers to rest before they had enough strength to complete the task, Richard had to patiently allow the group to rest in the adjacent windmills for half an hour.

Fortunately, it is too early at the moment, except for a few night owls, most of the villagers have not yet gotten up, and there are windmills to rest temporarily, and there will be no suspicion of startling the snake in a short time, so that Richard can feel a little more at ease.

The morning in the seaside village always comes very early, the hour hand has just crossed four o'clock in the local time, and the first rays of naughty sunlight have already been unbearable loneliness, breaking through the darkness and jumping out of the horizon, and the day is ......!

Richard, who had been delayed in the windmill for more than half an hour, couldn't wait any longer, and even kicked his group of dogs lying on the floor out of the windmill first, and then found the henchmen sent by his brother-in-law to lead the team, explained the stakes, and said that this group of pampered goods on weekdays gathered the team again to find the new mansion that the informant had said.

Although he only comes down every three months to collect a round of taxes, Richard is still a little impressed by the basic situation of the windmill village, and besides, the fishermen around him are not as capable and free as Wu Liang, not to mention that after building a mansion, they also use thick logs to enclose themselves with an area that is about to catch up with the stadium-sized courtyard, so there is only one such conspicuous building in the entire windmill village, which is very easy to find!

----------------------------------------------

was sleeping at home with his head covered, and felt that Wu Liang was awakened by a loud knock on the door, and it didn't take long for someone to come to the door just after dawn, this is the first time in half a month, could it be that something unexpected happened, could it be that the pirates came in? (The courtyard seems to be a little too big, which makes Wu Liang's passive perception talent a little out of order!) ）

Wu Liang, who was wearing only a pair of loose beach pants, grabbed the palm tree pattern shirt hanging at the head of the bed and put it on his body, and appeased the poison island and Sakura Reiko, who were also startled from the bed and reached out to take out a long knife and whip for the first time, Wu Liang opened the window and jumped down from the balcony on the second floor, and walked towards the door that used the thick wooden stake of the basin as a latch and died at the back.

"Woooo It's noisy early in the morning, don't knock again, what's the situation? While yawning, Wu Liang walked briskly towards the door, and with great difficulty, he kicked open the log latch that had become much tighter due to the continuous slamming of the door, and was so sleepy-eyed that he opened the door a crack and shouted out of the door.

"Damn pirate, your identity has been revealed, so die obediently!" Richard, who was hiding behind the soldiers of the city defense army in a fancy dress, couldn't help but be overjoyed to see the door open, and immediately beckoned his subordinates to hack him to death while the network was defenseless.

"I've been talking in my dreams early in the morning, saying who are the pirates!" The snow was so bright that the sword light made Wu Liang, who had just gotten up, completely sober up, and jumped back a few steps in a row to easily avoid the long sword that stabbed at his upper body, but he also put a group of people of unknown origin gathered at the door into the courtyard.

It's only been a few days since An's birthday has become a lot sluggish, and human beings really need enough pressure to progress, and they should be taken as a warning!

"Since you dare to resist, then I approve the killing of the pirates on the spot, shooting!" This is what Richard wants, it is best to directly kill the bitter master, in Richard's opinion, even if a swordsman who can cut off the neck of a tiger with a sword, encounters a salvo of thirty muskets, it will only result in hatred on the spot.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! With Richard's order, the dense gunfire immediately rang out, and the thirty city defense soldiers were still fine with the most basic musket salvo, even if they were fancy, and after rushing into the spacious and somewhat frightening courtyard, they immediately lined up in two rows, the front row half squatted, and the back row stood upright and prepared to fire a salvo, Richard aimed at Wu Liang and pulled the trigger as soon as he gave the order.

The salvo of the old flintlock muskets that still used black powder and fired round-tipped lead bullets would inevitably produce a burst of spicy smoke, and the denser the formation, the thicker the smoke, and the more these embroidered pillow-like city defense soldiers did not notice that the wind was blowing outside when shooting, and the smoke generated by the salvo directly covered their own formation, and even Richard and his group of dogs in the back did not run, they were all surrounded by irritating smoke, and they were choked with tears and coughing for a while.

Wu Haohao is also an old bird traverser who has experienced the three worlds, how could he be hit by a group of miscellaneous soldiers so easily, as early as the moment the gun rang out, he stomped his foot and kicked up the thick log on the ground that had been used as a door bolt to block it in front of him, becoming an excellent cover for himself!
