Chapter 104 Arrogance
In the woods outside the fence of Stewin Farm.
Willen's face was full of anxiety.
Just now, he thought he could not only save his daughter, but also destroy a child trafficking den.
As a result, as soon as they came into contact, seven or eight of them were beaten back by the other side's two gatekeepers.
Yes! Just the gatekeepers.
This made Willen suddenly realize that the enemy inside was very strong. What he found was probably not a den, but an important base or even a nest of the other side.
So, he immediately sent the short man Matteo to report to Lord Hamilton and ask for help.
"Boss, look, two carriages came out of the back door of the farmhouse!" A night watchman in charge of observation whispered to Willen.
Willen immediately looked up and saw two black carriages with large carriages slowly driving out of the farmhouse.
Each carriage had two horses in a row. In addition to the two people driving the horses, who seemed to be the guards who had fought with them, there were four or five fully armed mercenary-dressed people guarding the carriages.
In addition, the other party had obviously discovered them, and at this moment, they looked at them provocatively, curled their lips, and seemed quite disdainful.
"Abby must be on the carriage." Thinking that his daughter was on it, Willen slapped the tree trunk heavily, his eyes red.
Suddenly, he rushed forward and rushed to rescue.
But the two elite Night Watchmen on the side immediately grabbed their captain tightly.
"Wait, Captain, you are going to die. The two guards on the other side are so strong, and the strength of those people must be stronger!"
Willen looked intently, and saw that the other people were either plate armor or chain mail, and their equipment was stronger than their elite Night Watchmen.
"Yes, let's wait a little longer. Lord Hamilton should be here soon."
"Boss, if you die, what will happen to Abby?"
"Even if Lord Hamilton rescues Abby in the end, how sad she will be if she knows you are gone!" Another elite Night Watchman also came over to persuade him.
Hearing this, Willen's struggling body stagnated slightly.
"Yes, if I die, Abby..." The redness in Willen's eyes faded a little.
"However, I will wait for five minutes at most. If Lord Hamilton doesn't come in another five minutes, don't stop me."
"Okay, Captain, if Lord Hamilton doesn't come in five minutes, we will accompany you." A passionate Night Watchman said.
This moved Willen very much. He patted the young man on the shoulder and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Time passed by every second!
Soon, the seven or eight mercenary-dressed people on the opposite side seemed to be ready for everything, so they planned to drive the carriage away from Stewin Farm.
Willen was anxious for a moment.
"I'll go first!" Willen's face was serious, and he turned his head to look at the other night watchmen and said.
"The enemy is very strong, I will stop them first and block them. You follow from a distance and let Lord Hamilton avenge me!"
"Captain!"
Just as Willen was about to go forward, the elite night watchmen on the side shouted excitedly: "Lord Hamilton and the others are coming!"
I saw a team of cavalry approaching rapidly from the south, but almost at the same time, a man in a black robe slowly walked out of the second-floor farmhouse.
The other party walked very slowly, giving people a calm and composed feeling, as if he was walking in his own back garden.
As if he noticed something, he raised his head slightly and looked to the south.
"Finally here, a formal knight, this is a little troublesome. I just don't know if the other party will accept my kindness." The black-robed man named Morte said to himself.
Then, he waved his hand, and a strong man in plate armor came out of the farmhouse, dragging two men who were crying and begging for mercy.
After Hamilton and Ryan arrived, they first had a quick look with Willen. After Willen explained the situation, everyone looked at the black-robed man at the door of the farmhouse.
Hamilton looked at the middle-aged man in a black robe with a serious face, and stayed on the other's cuffs and collar for a few seconds, and said: "Black Flame Monk?"
Ryan could feel that Hamilton's left hand holding the shield tightened. Obviously, this so-called Black Flame Monk was very strong, so strong that even Hamilton was afraid.
"Hey! You actually know us? It seems that you are not an ordinary knight?" The black-robed man finally looked at Hamilton a little seriously.
"This is our sheriff of Goldshire, Lord Hamilton!" Matteo, a small man on the side, seemed a little indignant at the other party's attitude and said loudly.
Hamilton did not speak, but recalled the brief fight with a black flame monk in the county city before.
The other party had a strong body at the level of a formal knight, plus a strange and powerful black flame, which made him suffer a big loss.
In addition, since that battle, his position as patrol captain in the county city was also adjusted, and he was transferred to Goldshire Town as a sheriff.
This also confirmed his guess from the side that the other party had a deep network of connections in the noble circle of the county city, and could actually affect the job adjustment at his level.
And Ryan also saw the other party's face clearly at this moment, with narrow and long eyes, giving people a sharp feeling like a venomous snake.
"Your Excellency the Sheriff, I have a suggestion that is more beneficial to both of us. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it." The Black Flame Monk said slowly, as if he represented the official of the Empire.
It was the first time that Ryan saw such an arrogant guy!
"You say." Hamilton frowned when he heard this, but it seemed that for some reason, Hamilton had to suppress his anger.
"These two are the murderers of child trafficking. I will hand them and this base to you. In this way, you will not have made a wasted trip. In addition, you can add a merit to your resume." The Black Flame Monk glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground and gestured.
"Then, we will leave separately. A perfect plan, isn't it?" The Black Flame Monk said with a smile.
"Don't even think about it! My daughter is still in your hands, you scum!" Willen couldn't help but roared.
"Oh? Is that so?" The Black Flame Monk was obviously stunned, and then he laughed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to kidnap the wrong person. Um... What's your daughter's name? She will be released immediately." The Black Flame monk seemed a little embarrassed, and he bowed slightly like a gentleman, smiling.
"Abby!" Willen's eyes flickered, he stammered twice, and finally said the name.
Hamilton still didn't say anything, but his face was as gloomy as water, staring at him closely.
"Kev, go and bring a little girl named Abby here." The Black Flame monk said loudly.
Then, the other party turned to Willen and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your daughter will be back to you soon."
His expression and attitude were extremely natural, and he didn't think that he was abducting children in violation of the imperial decree.
Ryan knew that this was actually a kind of arrogance, so arrogant that he despised all the imperial law enforcers present.
The Black Flame monk in front of him obviously thought that he had made a very big concession by releasing the little girl Abby.
The heavy hammer man on the opposite carriage shouted: "Yes, sir!"
The other party lifted the black curtain at the back of the carriage and asked loudly: "Who is Abby? If yes, nod!"
Although the carriage was not close to Ryan and others, it was only a few dozen meters away, so almost all the night watchmen could clearly see the scene in the carriage.
The carriage was densely packed with children, with their hands and feet tied and cloth balls stuffed in their mouths, as if they were pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
"It seems that they are not in this carriage." Just as the heavy hammer man named Kev muttered about lowering the black curtain.
Suddenly, a little girl whimpered a few times, and then nodded quickly, with joy and fear in her eyes. If you follow her eyes, you can see that the person she is looking at is Willen.
It turned out that the little girl Abby didn't understand the situation at first and didn't dare to admit it, but through the gap in the curtain, she saw the familiar figure of her father, and then nodded repeatedly.
At this time, the other children's eyes, filled with desire and expectation, were wide open, looking at Hamilton, Ryan, Willen and other night watchmen in uniform.
They seemed to be looking forward to being rescued like the lucky girl.
This made the faces of the elite night watchmen change, their eyes slightly red, and they seemed to feel a sense of shame.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" The heavy hammer man sneered, and picked up the little girl Abby, like a light chicken.
And took her directly to the side of the Black Flame Monk.
The Black Flame Monk glanced at the excited Willen and said, "It seems that this little girl should be here, Kev, don't let go and let her go."
Kev smiled, pulled out the cloth ball stuffed in the little girl Abby's mouth, and untied the rope on his body.
Willen burst into tears of joy at the recovery of his daughter Abby.
"Your Excellency the Sheriff, look, we can go now!" Mort narrowed his eyes and smiled. At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling the man with the giant hammer and another strong man who was guarding the two gangsters to go first.
Although he was asking, his tone and actions were more like a notification, rather than really asking Hamilton's opinion.
The other party's "reasonableness" made Hamilton hesitate for a while.
First of all, the other party is very strong. If they really fight, there will be heavy casualties. At the same time, I don't know how many of the more than 20 children can survive.
But it's really hard to let them go like this!
"As a lord and sheriff appointed by the empire, I actually watched the other party take away more than 20 children. Hamilton felt that he would never get over this hurdle in his heart."
Perhaps, this is also because he himself was born a commoner, not a noble!
"I'll hold this guy back. Can you kill those guys and save the kids?" Hamilton turned to look at the night watchmen and whispered, but his sharp eyes through the mask stayed on Ryan the longest.
Ryan nodded, and when he was about to say something, I don't know which night watchman said it first:
"The long night is coming. I am the sword in the darkness and the shield that protects the empire."
Following him, the other elite night watchmen also whispered together, ". I am the lighthouse before dawn, illuminating the tranquility of the night."
The voices are getting louder and louder!
"Whenever danger comes, I am the horn that awakens the battle. I will be loyal to my duties and not afraid of life and death."
At this time, the voices of the twenty or so night watchmen present had merged into a torrent. It might not be deafening, but the firmness revealed in their voices made people look sideways.
