This is the strangest team Wren Dmitry has ever seen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the square table in the hall on the first floor of the castle, there is a detailed map of the fortress of Changge.

There were six people gathered around the square table, they were Iron Axe, the commander of the First Army, Vader, the police captain from the border town, the current leader of the Fire Gang, Crack, the head of the Security Service, Nightingale, the black-haired witch Ash, and himself, who was the Earl of Elk.

Wren never thought that he would one day need the help of rats, let alone cooperate with witches.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are about seven or eight large and small gangs in the fortress at the moment," Split Bone showed a flattering smile and bent over, "The largest number of members are the Scythe Gang located in the northern district of the outer city, there are almost five or six hundred people, but the strongest is the death knell in the inner city, most of them are composed of fugitives and mercenaries, and they almost do not accept ordinary civilians to join, whether it is a blade or armor, of course, if this is not the case, they will not be able to occupy the fattest position." ”

"The eastern part of the city is the territory of the carrioners and vultures, and with the convenience of the docklands, they are mainly engaged in the slave trade and the dream water, and their methods are particularly cruel. I heard that behind these two rat organizations stood the Wolf Family and the Maple Leaf Family, but when they were defeated by our Fire Gang a few years ago, they didn't see any big nobles come out to help them. He said with a slight smugness.

"As for the west of the city, the gangs are much more complicated...... Since they are all small gangs, I have only dealt with their leaders at most. They are—"

"The news of the gang is not important, so I don't need to go into detail here," the tall Mojin man interrupted, "I just want to ask, can you take us to these underground rats' lair?"

"Ahem, this lord ......" Split Bone nodded at him, "As the saying goes, rats build nests, ten holes and nine holes. I know the main gathering places of the various gangs, but it is impossible to know every one of their hiding places, especially the hiding places constructed from dry wells and basements, which only the leaders and cronies know. ”

"He's not wrong about that," Wren sighed, "and the rats are not vulnerable to a head-on attack, but if you want to get rid of them one by one, I'm afraid it's very difficult." ”

"There was still a chance if there was a sudden attack, but now that the notice had been issued, by the time the time the action came, the leaders would have been in hiding long ago. ”

"Hide?" the black-haired witch scoffed, "unless he hides in Chishui City, there will be no one we can't find as long as he stays in the fortress." ”

"Yes, you said so. Cracked Bone wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped arguing.

The pressure on this witch named Ash was staggering, and Wren had fought the Beasts in Hermes and knew what a true warrior looked like...... But even the battle-hardened Inquisitors would be overshadowed by her. The other party doesn't need to pose for any scary appearance, just standing there can make people dare not look directly.

There is no doubt that she has not only seen blood and taken the lives of enemies, but also hovered on the edge of life and death to have such a domineering momentum.

"According to His Highness's wishes, we still have three days to prepare, and after the first rations are distributed, the army will start from the West City Gate and clear out the rat gangs in each area in turn. Iron Axe said in a deep voice, "This crackdown is only aimed at the organizers, and we strive to dismantle the black street in the shortest possible time." ”

"But...... Will this really work?" Seeing the other party walking towards the door of the hall, Wren couldn't help but ask, "There has never been a city that can eradicate rats, and as long as there are people, they will not be cut off." ”

Iron Axe glanced back at him, "yes, there are no rats in the border towns." ”

......

After the group left, only Vader remained.

"Lord Earl, has anyone declared a police position to the town hall at the moment?"

"Not yet...... But I heard from Perro that dozens of people in the Second Army had already signed up. Wren sat down slowly on the square table, the words of the iron axe still echoing in his head. After a while, he whispered, "Is there really no rat in the town?"

"If you talk about the Dark Street organization in the usual sense, there really isn't," Vader shrugged, "there is no shortage of food, there is no need for shelter, and both men and women can find a suitable job." Even if you are a handyman, the salary is enough to fill your stomach. To be honest, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a place in the Grey Keep Kingdom until I arrived in Frontier Town. ”

"Why?" Wren asked.

"I don't know, my lord......ship," Vader said, spreading his hands, "what His Highness Roland has done is far from that of any nobleman I have ever met. ”

"You don't have to call me sir," he waved his hand, "Your Highness has asked us to work together on this matter, and we can put the title aside in private." ”

The other party nodded, but did not refuse. Such a crisp personality made Wren quite admire, "Do you think His Royal Highness the Prince can really eradicate all the rats in the fortress and turn the entire Western Realm into a clean land?"

"I'm not sure. Vader's answer surprised him slightly, "After all, I used to be a patrol leader, and I've dealt with rats for several years. Their existence is like a shadow in the sun, and it is difficult for them to be effective by forceful measures alone. However, His Highness said that if it was a large city of a million people, he might not be able to manage everything, but with only 100,000 people, it is not impossible to get rid of these low-level scum. Put simply, it is too expensive to make people feel that being rats is too costly, and there are many more suitable alternatives. ”

"The price...... It's too high," Wren automatically skipped the statement that a million-strong city alone is already an incredibly grand city, "this is not something that can be done in a short period of time." ”

"That's right, fighting rats, or crime, doesn't happen overnight," Vader nodded, "The police are the agency that His Highness Roland has set up for this matter, and they are completely different from patrols, as I have already told you. ”

It is indeed quite different, they receive the salary of the town hall, not under the orders of some nobleman, they maintain law and order in an area, and they do not go along with the criminals.

"And, most importantly, Your Highness has a word to me. ”

"What?"

"Actually, I've mentioned your doubts to him," Vader smiled, "and His Highness said to me, if you can't do it, won't you do it?"

Wren Med felt a sudden stir in his heart, as if something had suddenly become clear. If he can't do it, he won't do it, and if that's the case, he won't keep running on the knight's road. Although he has now taken over the position of earl, it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from the life he likes, as long as he can continue to fight on the battlefield that protects the people, he will not be far from the path in his heart. Instead, it will only get wider and wider.

"I see...... I understand. He took a deep breath.

"I was also quite shaken," said Vader, "but I still don't quite understand what His Highness meant by the last words. ”

"Anything else?" Wren said expectantly.

"Well," Vader recalled, rubbing his chin, "and you'll feel filled after this bowl of chicken soup." But...... What does this have to do with chicken soup?" (To be continued.) )
