Chapter 484: When I Practiced Chivalry
For the appearance of paladins, the people in the manor were not mentally prepared at all, they didn't expect these paladins to "break into the house" at all, but it was too late to react. At first, there were some people who relied on the paladin to dare not kill and sent people to try to resist, but the paladin who received the order of "kill without mercy" didn't care about this, and if someone dared to resist, they would cut it down directly, even if they couldn't kill it, they would cut you down. These paladins are almost unburdened to do this kind of thing, they have already blown up their lungs when they see those girls being hung on a stake like livestock, and those who can do this kind of thing must be some extremely vicious people who have not run away, and those who dare to block themselves from doing justice are even more evildoers, although paladins do rarely kill people, but if you can't cut you to death, it's no problem to cut you, anyway, the priest has healing skills, as long as you can't cut it to death, you can save it, do you care about this?
In a way, it's more brutal than hacking.
Although these strongholds also have their own guards, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of paladins after all, plus most paladins have their own holy shields, and it is impossible for ordinary guards to break through their defenses, so the scene is naturally one-sided.
Of course, there is no shortage of vicious people who do this kind of business, and the last thing the paladins are afraid of is the most vicious people. Although there are a few strong people, but to deal with the evil people, the paladin does not pay attention to the rules one-on-one, and if he can't beat it, he will directly rush up, so he will naturally take it easily.
It's no wonder that these people are too slow to react, but it is the paladins of the Templar Order who acted too suddenly, including the God of Harvest, the God of War, the Mother of Greatness, the Temple of the Sun, and the Goddess of Water. The True Eye and the Seven Temples of the Silver Saintess attacked at the same time, except for the Emerald Goddess and the Forest Goddess, who were difficult to mobilize because they were located in remote areas, Jenn almost used his authority to mobilize all the paladins who could be mobilized. And he cunningly did not gather these paladins, but let them lead their own teams to defeat each one. Although the number of paladins must be overwhelmingly small compared to the guards of the stronghold, these paladins were also outnumbered by one against ten when they exterminated the bandits. They have long been accustomed to this kind of situation of fighting more with less, and they are more than the "regular" cultists they have surrounded and suppressed. These bullying guys are easier to deal with, so basically rushing in is a tiger into the flock, and you don't know how to come out without killing a few back and forth.
And for these people who are the minions of the lion, they are also blinded. It's no wonder that the lion minions, as one of the three major chambers of commerce on the Eagle Plateau, have a very good relationship with those nobles. If there is any change in something, they will be given a message so that they can take precautions. Either the security is tightened, or the people are simply removed for safety reasons.
But the problem is that Jenn is very decisive. As soon as you make a move, it will bloom everywhere, you must know that the secret strongholds of the Lion Minions Chamber of Commerce are all over the Eagle Plateau, including the Pawood family, there are more than ten territories in total. And Jenn directly mobilized the paladin this time without warning, and even the information and location of the target were only known to the paladin captains of each temple and church, and they took people out in the name of patrolling. This kind of thing is very common everywhere, and most people don't suspect it, and wait until they reach their destination. They only explain the objectives of the operation, and then when the time comes, they start to act. During this period, there is no opportunity for others to contact them. So much so that even if someone finds out that something is wrong with these paladins, they don't know what they are going to do.
And it wasn't until the paladins made a move that they realized that they were coming for themselves. But unfortunately, it was too late, and the defensive line formed in a hurry could not block the impact of the paladins at all, and they were directly attacked. Coupled with the fact that the slave traders' goods were human, this thing was not as easy to hide as gold, silver, and jewelry. So a group of big living people, you just killed them all and there are no corpses? So it's basically all stolen goods, without any exceptions.
As for those paladins, at first they didn't know what their captain was bringing them out for, and then when they heard that they were going to attack the stronghold of the Chamber of Commerce, they were more or less drummed in their hearts. After all, paladins still pay attention to the rules of order. Most of the opponent's strongholds are legal facilities, and as a paladin, you can't break into it without anything. However, the captain had already spoken, so he could only rush in. And when everyone got the stolen goods, these paladins became much more courageous and fought more fiercely. And the guards in the stronghold are not elite, where can they block the attack of the paladins. If you take the game as a level, then these stronghold guards are at most a one-star brass level, and the paladin is at least a two-star silver, with two levels in between.
"Wooh!!"
With a scream, one of the guards fell to the ground like this, holding his bleeding arm and crying, and looking at his miserable appearance, the paladin led by him snorted coldly and was completely unmoved. He could see very clearly that just before he came, this fellow was standing on the high platform with a leather whip whipping the girls who were not in their own arms, and it looked as if they were whipping toys. And to deal with such a person, according to his usual opinion, he will be directly hacked to death. If it weren't for being a paladin......... Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and forcibly held back the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Captain, what's next?"
And at this moment, another young paladin also came to his side and asked. Due to the suddenness of their arrival, these people did not react at all, so they were all stolen. In addition to these maidens who were hung from stakes outside, they also found dozens of slaves in the shed behind the manor where they raised their livestock. Most of them were chained and dirty, and I don't know how they got them. In addition, these paladins also searched the secret room of the manor for several transaction lists, among which there were even prominent local figures, which really surprised these paladins.
But how to investigate those guys and wait until we get back, it's the people in this stronghold that matter now. Including the slaves who were imprisoned, and the stewards of this stronghold and the guards, it was not a small number. These people need to be dealt with, but how exactly these paladins are not known.
Luckily, Jenn had already given a solution, so the paladin led by him thought for a moment after listening to the report, and then quickly replied.
"Put those people in cages, and as for the poor victims, investigate them first, let them go if they are here, and take them into the church temporarily if they are not. Then tell them that they can choose to return to their homeland, or they can choose to go to Passus, where the lord will take them in. ”
"Okay."
The paladin may be rigid, but he is not a fool, and since the captain said it so clearly, he naturally understands that the above has obviously prepared countermeasures for a long time. You must know that in the past, most of them did this kind of thing step by step, and sometimes they didn't know what to do when they saved people, in fact, when they first saw those slaves, the paladins were also very worried, these people were brought by those slave traders by various means, and generally speaking, they could not be locals. And as paladins, they couldn't have left these people to fend for themselves. And at this moment, I heard that everything has been arranged, so naturally there is nothing to say. The lords of Passus are famous, and they naturally know about this lord. I also know that Passus has taken in a group of refugees, and to drive a sheep is to herd, and to put a flock of sheep is also to herd, since the lord has spoken, most of these refugees have been sent there. So they all nodded, and then turned to ask the slaves.
But before the results came out, it didn't take long for someone to find them.
"Captain, there's someone from the garrison."
The Templar Order was playing so big, and naturally it would alarm the members of the town guards, who at first didn't know what was going on, and only thought there were robbers. When he saw that it was the paladin of the Templar Order, he was dumbfounded, what was going on? Paladins turned bandits to break into empty doors?
When they learned that this was a lair of slave traders, the garrison suddenly couldn't stay idle, although they didn't know what this group of paladins was crazy about, but everyone had stolen money, and it was difficult for them to say anything. I had to be in charge of guarding on one side and greet me on the other. Most of the members of these garrisons are old oilmen, and they naturally know that the Lion Minions Chamber of Commerce has a lot to do with their lords, and now the Templar Order has broken into the stronghold to arrest people without even saying hello, and they have also arrested them. Then it's useless to say anything on your side, so you should immediately notify your superiors and ask if there is anything you can do to help. For example, search evidence, search evidence, and search evidence.
Of course, God knows whether those things can be searched or not, and where they will be found.
"Hand this over to the garrison, and we'll take those people with us."
Jenn's plan was so thorough that he even thought about how to end it up in the end. If the garrison appears, then except for the most heinous ones, the rest of the shrimp soldiers and crabs will be handed over to the garrison guards, and these paladins are not stupid, knowing that this time the matter is already a big trouble, if the nobles are detained without authorization, there may be some trouble. Although deep down they also despise the practices of these nobles, they are not really dead-headed. Now that the victim has been rescued and the first evil has been caught, the rest of the people will be let go for the time being, anyway, they are all local nobles with heads and faces, and they are not afraid that they will run away. So after it was confirmed, the captain of the paladin didn't talk nonsense, and just turned around and left with people.
They walked neatly, but the guards who came in a hurry stared at each other and didn't know what to do, but the paladins didn't say much, just said that they took those poor slaves away, and the rest were tied up inside, what do you like, these evils we suspect are connected with the cultists, and they should be brought back for interrogation first, and then turn around and leave. Poor these guards hurriedly received orders and ran over, but nothing was done. In desperation, he had to stay and wipe the paladins' butts, and at the same time sent someone to hurry back again to report.
Before dawn the next day, the entire Eagle Plateau shook. (To be continued......)
