Chapter 904: Battle Reaction (Part 1)
Every evening, it was time for Vader to go out on patrol.
Most of the time, he would take two or three of his subordinates around Neverwinter, and occasionally he would act alone—theoretically speaking, he is now the Minister of Police and the third in command of the Kingdom Security Bureau, so he does not need to personally carry out patrols tasks, but he prefers the feeling of going to battle in person rather than sitting in the office to make overall plans.
It has been a year and a half since he came to this city in the western region, and he has two biggest feelings. One is that the city is expanding at an alarming rate. Originally, it only took him half an hour to circle the city, but now it costs at least twice as much, not including the seaport in the south and the farmland in the east.
The second is that the law and order in Neverwinter City can be described as unbelievable. The most common crimes are theft and fighting, and these two are the most serious. Crimes such as murder, robbery, and kidnapping are rarely seen once a month. It cannot be said that there is no such situation at all, especially after a large number of refugees flooded into the city, the law and order once deteriorated, but with the coordinated efforts of the police department and the Witch Union, the crime trend was quickly curbed.
His Majesty's emphasis on breaking a case is not a lie here. Faced with Asha's retrospective ability and Vanilla's tracking ability, no one who breaks the law can escape punishment. Due to the extremely high risk and cost of crime, coupled with zero tolerance for black street rats, safety is an improvement that is visible to almost everyone.
He insisted on patrolling every day because he wanted to feel this peace—seeing everyone walking the night road with relaxed expressions and the trusting eyes when they saluted him, Vader always felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.
It turns out that I can also become such a person - a respected law enforcement officer, not a scolded villain.
This is an experience that has never been experienced in the previous patrol team.
Obviously, the original intentions of the two constructions are exactly the same, and the methods and tasks are also similar, but they have created completely different effects.
In the final analysis, it can only be said that the lord can make a difference.
"Boss, do you need me to follow?" When passing the city hall, the whistle who just came back from outside the team greeted.
"Oh? You don't have to accompany that girl today?"
"This...you know it all," the whistle blushed suddenly, "Actually...you don't have to stay together every night."
This remark caused some spectators to laugh.
"Then you have to be careful, don't let someone snatch it away."
"Shut up, shut up!"
Vader smiled and shook his head, "I can go alone today, you pack up and go home first."
"Then... ok, thank you boss!"
Looking at the excited back of the whistle, he felt a little emotional. He was alone when he left Jinsui City, and he thought that this life might go on like this. How could he expect to have the achievements he has today. Perhaps after helping Papa Kakushim buy an adjoining house, he should also find another companion.
However, just as Vader walked out of the city hall, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded over the city.
"Woo———————————————"
His face changed suddenly.
This sound is completely different from the alarm bells used before, from dull to high pitched, repeated and continuous, once you hear it, you will never forget it - it represents the highest alert level in Neverwinter, even in the long demon moon None of the . In fact, he has only rehearsed relevant aspects during the exercise, and this is the first time he has heard of it.
According to the regulations, when -- 0 --- 0 --- small --- say --- this is a gorgeous dividing line -- let go of that witch. 00 novel netizens please remind: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time. 00 novels recommended reading: Ghost King Absolute Favorite: Heaven-Defying Useless Concubine-0--0---Small--Speak--This is a gorgeous dividing line---When the highest alert rings, Neverwinter will implement martial law . The city gates had to be closed, the police cleared the streets, and the First Army marched to the defenses.
"Boss!" Several people including whistle rushed out of the office.
Vader turned around and saw that the entire city hall had come to a standstill, and everyone stood there stunned, as if at a loss.
His Majesty is currently leading an army to recover the Kingdom of Graycastle, so this cannot be an exercise!
What happened to make the garrison issue such a stern warning?
Damn it, but now is the most empty time for the defense of Neverwinter!
He gritted his teeth and yelled, "What are you doing in a daze, move for me! Whistle, call all the people on vacation here! Huotou, take the rest of the people with me to the city wall! What do you do during the exercise?" Do what you want to do now, understand!"
This thunderous shout woke not only the police officers, but also the administrative officials in the hall.
"Yes, I understand!"
The city hall became busy in an instant, but Vader was in no mood to take care of those civil servants, and rushed out of the castle area with a group of policemen.
Seeing the confused residents on the street, he suddenly felt as big as a bull.
Since the highest alert number was only established this year, it has not even conducted a city-wide drill. Perhaps His Majesty Roland, who formulated it, did not expect to encounter such an emergency situation so soon, but since it happened, it is obvious that this matter It became a mistake of the garrison. If it was him, he would definitely ring the alarm bell at the same time, and let the city residents wandering on the street evacuate quickly.
But now is not the time to complain, Vader clapped his hands, and focused the attention of the surrounding residents on him, "Listen up, everyone, go home immediately and don't stay on the street! This is an alarm for enemy attacks, repeat , go home now!"
"Go home immediately, don't stay!" Huotou and others also shouted.
Fortunately, the police department is usually trusted by the residents, and the municipal department has also popularized the response methods for routine alarms many times. After hearing the warning, everyone began to move to the residential area.
In this way, a group of people rushed to the border city wall while shouting.
Soldiers ready to take position can be seen everywhere on the top of the wall, and the banners stand facing the afterglow of the setting sun. The cannons on the high platform have also taken off their gun covers, and their long barrels are facing the vast grassland ahead, as if waiting for them at any time. Give the enemy a hard blow. Seeing this scene, Vader couldn't help but calm down a lot.
As long as there is the First Army, no matter how many people there are, it will be an indestructible line of defense.
This is the result of many battles.
Soon, the police were involved in maintaining security and order at the scene... But what puzzled him was that even though the highest alarm was still echoing over the city, why was there no sound in the direction of the grasslands and jungles in the western region?
Enemy - where the hell?
At the same time, in the meeting room of the lord's castle, another group of people started arguing.
"The highest alarm was set off because of a babble from a witch who didn't know the details?" Barov looked at Wendy with disbelief on his face, "Do you know how much trouble and loss this will bring us? Regardless of whether this woman named Lorgar is reliable or not, if I heard you right, your basis is only her dream talk when she was unconscious! Just like this, it is too exaggerated to shut down half of Neverwinter City! You cannot complete the scheduled mission If so, how do you want me to explain to His Majesty?" 21071
