A strange world

Chapter 1012 Section 243. He still has to say thank you

Crack——

The first door opened, and the husband who lost his wife rushed towards the knight with an axe in his hand.

The second door, the third door...

More and more residents rushed out to find their loved ones, release the neighbors in the prison car, and vent their anger on the dead knights and horses.

"We won." Annan said softly.

The city guards at the city gate stood outside the street, not daring to come in.

Annan asked his captain to negotiate with them and seize the time to fabricate evidence: search the evidence on the Free Blade members and stuff it into the knights' bodies, and then tell the residents: "They are undercover agents of the kingdom, who broke into the suburban slums to search for the Free Blade, but were discovered by the Free Blade who mixed into the Knights."

After throwing dirty water, Annan returned to the city guards with all the bodies and residents whose families died in the massacre.

This time it was no small matter. The massacre on the streets and the annihilation of the Knights were not a small matter... More and more people knew that the people behind the Knights broke a bunch of expensive teacups after knowing this.

Annan did not go anywhere, waiting for trouble to come in the city guards, and deepening the soldiers' impression that "the Knights are the Free Blade".

These corpses cannot be collected for the time being, but the temperature in the dungeon is not high, and it will take three days for them to rot.

Standing in the room where the Free Blade corpses were placed, Annan said softly: "Sorry, I need to use your bodies. After the end, I will take you back to Free City and bury you in the cemetery of the warriors."

Coming out of the cell, the clerk asked if he wanted to ask a mage to purify the dungeon. There are too many dead bodies, which are easy to breed undead creatures.

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Undead creatures have nothing to do with them when they were alive." The clerk explained in confusion.

Isn't Young Master Olme a mage? How come he doesn't even know this?

"Okay, I'll do as you say. But forget about the Knights." Annan said, "I want to kill them again."

Three hours after the tragedy, the nobles behind the Knights of Sesu came to the door.

Viscount Lien, with his personal guards and mages, angrily broke into the city guards, wanting to avenge the executioner who killed his Knights.

As soon as Annan saw him, he shouted coldly: "Catch him! All the members of his Knights are Freeblades, and he can't get away from it."

Viscount Lien, who was a step late, laughed in anger: "You dare to catch me?"

"Your men are all Freeblades, what's wrong with arresting you?"

"You said my men are Freeblades?!"

This is a false accusation! This is an unwarranted accusation!

"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it? Otherwise, you don't think that a small city guard officer like me dares to deal with the Knights."

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on Viscount Lien's head.

He came to question the culprit three hours later because of this... How dare a mere city guard officer destroy a knight order and go against him?

Then he found out that the military minister was behind Olme. Renato was indeed capable of doing this, but why?

"Want to know the reason? Follow me."

Annan turned and walked towards the dungeon.

Viscount Lien followed him without saying a word, taking his guards with him.

They came to the dungeon, and the knights who were thrown into the cells casually and still wearing armor made Viscount Lien's eyelids twitch: "Are you provoking me?"

Annan did not speak, but continued to move forward, came to the corpses where the Free Blade was placed, pointed at one of them and said: "He is Chalkin, one of the traitors planted by the City Guard in the slums. After your Knights appeared, they cut three wounds on him without saying anything."

"He is Brant, one of the traitors, and your Knights used a sneak attack to pierce his chest from the back. He is Hoss, who was grabbed by the hair and cut his throat by your Knights when he had already revealed his identity and begged for mercy. He is Max... He is Jack... He is Ron..."

What he said seemed to be true. Did the Knights really kill their own people...?

But no matter what, Viscount Lien would never admit it, and Annan would never let it go.

The two sides found a balance and gave up killing each other, but maintained the intensity of "finding an explanation".

Viscount Lien thought Annan was not qualified to talk to him, so he went to the sheriff to ask for an explanation, but the sheriff kicked the ball back to Annan: it was Young Master Olme who did the action, and the city guards were not aware of it.

They argued all the way to the Minister of Military Affairs.

"Sir Renato, you have a good nephew." Relying on the loss of a Knight Order, Viscount Lien sneered.

"I think so too. Uncle Renato, I eliminated a Free Blade lurking in the Knight Order. Can I get a promotion?"

The Minister of Military Affairs looked at Annan, then at Viscount Lien, and said a fair word: "Whether they are Free Blades or not, whether they have betrayed the kingdom, we will know by investigating what they have done."

Viscount Lien's face turned pale.

He sent people to investigate. They may be Free Blades... No, they must be framed, but the massacre of innocent residents must be true...

"My men just suspect that they are Free Blades." Viscount Lien said without blinking.

"Is that so? Article 15 of the Kingdom Law states that any citizen is protected by the Kingdom, and anyone who harms them will be considered an enemy."

"What is Article 38?" The Minister of Military Affairs suddenly spoke up.

"Nobles who kill or harm civilians must pay a ransom." Annan deliberately memorized the law for dozens of minutes to deal with Viscount Lien: "But the Knights are not nobles, they are not eligible to pay a ransom."

Viscount Lien remained silent, and Annan took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Viscount, if I were you, not only would I not raise an army to punish the crime, but I would also thank those who helped cover it up."

"Because the Knights must die. Only when they die can I spread the word that it is the Free Blade that is killing people and committing crimes. The Knights all sacrificed themselves to protect the residents. If they don't die... then you will be the sinner who condones your subordinates and kills civilians and undercover agents."

Viscount Lien was sweating profusely, not because of Annan's words, but because the Minister of Military Affairs was holding this evidence to hold him accountable...

By then, not to mention acquitting the Knights, even he himself would be trapped in the vortex.

"Do you understand, Viscount Lien." The Minister of Military Affairs spoke.

"I understand..."

Viscount Lien could only swallow his anger and take this big loss.

In contrast, the name of Olme jumped into the eyes of the big shots. They couldn't help but wonder what Renato's intention was in letting his nephew firmly oppose the Free Blade.

On the other hand, although Annan "made great contributions", it was difficult for him to be promoted to sheriff... After all, he had not been in office for a week.

However, a turning point came on the third day - news came from the palace that the king appreciated Olme.

Clo did not react to Annan's promotion. Clo did not see him during the king's pilgrimage, but he killed the Free Blade when he saw it - which made Annan enter Clo's sight.
