"Clay?!" The captain of the city guard was stunned. . . This name is so familiar. . . He is a servant in the house of the kind-hearted nobleman Korup, who is about dozens of miles away from the town. .
"Open the door!" Jess ordered. . . .
The town gate opened immediately. . . Jess led the people to greet him directly. . .
It was then that Jess discovered that it was really Clay. . .
I saw him rushing along the way. . . The horse was already panting. . And his body has started to sweat. .
Clay was also sweating profusely. . . Maybe it's because I'm anxious to get angry. . . There were already some blisters around his mouth. . My lips were also dry and peeling. .
"Captain Jace!! Captain Jace!! Something bad is going to happen...cough cough cough cough..." Clay was too excited. .
I choked on my saliva while speaking. . .
Captain Jace took a kettle and handed it to him and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly..."
How can Clay be in the mood to drink water now? . So he coughed loudly. . . It's finally getting better. . .
Clay said directly: "Captain Jace!! Take the people with me quickly!! A group of robbers came from nowhere... They directly attacked Lord Krupp's manor in the middle of the night... I saw it. Then I sent the letter in advance!!”
Jace couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. . .
robber. . . He hadn't heard of it for a long time. . . But looking at Clay like this, it didn't look like he was lying to him. . . And this Clay is usually more loyal and honest. . . He has been doing this for nearly 10 years at the Kolup family. . So I won't lie. .
Jess quickly asked: "Do you know how many people there are on the other side??"
Clay quickly said: "I don't know the specifics... but I feel that there were at least a hundred people... because it was a bit far away at the time... I only saw a torch in the distance... and the sound of horse hooves was very loud... then Thomas... I feel like there should be hundreds of them..."
Jace nodded, handed the kettle directly to Clay and said, "Be patient... Mr. Krupp's business is our business... But we must tell the mayor first... After all, I am just a human being. The captain of the city defense... he must know about the mobilization of the army... where his responsibilities lie..."
Of course Clay also knew. . . I can only nod my head and hope they can hurry up. . . You can move the reinforcements back earlier. . .
He also knows a lot about Corpup Manor. . . The people in the manor had little ability to resist. . .
A city guard had already rushed back to the city hall to ask the mayor for instructions. .
The result is only 7-8 minutes. . . The city guard came back on horseback. . And there was another person coming next to him. . This man is wearing a purple robe. . He held a purple staff in his hand. . .
Jace was a little strange. . Who is this guy. . He has been a guard captain in this town for at least 5 years. This is the only entrance to this small town. . And there are not many people in the town. . There are less than 10,000 people. . . He didn't dare to say that he could name all the people coming and going. . . At least at a quick glance, you will know that they are from the town. . .
But it seemed like this was the first time he saw the purple-robed mage in front of him. . . It seems that he didn't come in through the city gate. . Otherwise, he is still a mage wearing purple like this. . . He will definitely remember it. .
Clay doesn't care about one more person and one less person now. . . He only cares about what the mayor says. . .
When the guard who reported the news returned, he asked anxiously: "How is it? How is it? What did the mayor say?"
The city guard said: "The mayor has agreed!! Let Captain Jace bring people over for reinforcements... At the same time, the mayor also asked others to notify the nearby Royal Guards... Someone will reinforce you when the time comes... At the same time... This mage is also willing to go together..."
"Great!" Clay was excited when he heard the news. . . At the same time, he was still praying that the manor could last longer. . .
Now the mayor agrees. . Captain Jace quickly counted the people. . Since there are nearly a hundred people on the other side. . So he also brought 100 people with him. . After all, the defenders of this town are not wealthy either. . . Only about 500 people. . .
And as an "official army", if you can't win against the bandits 1:1. . . That's too embarrassing. . . And there will be reinforcements from the Royal Guards. . . Plus this mage. . . How could he easily kill these bandits? . .
Now is the time to race against time. . . So Captain Jace simply took stock. . Then let his deputy be responsible for defending the city. . . .
Clay led everyone to start heading towards the manor. .
At this time, the mage said: "The situation is urgent... Let's speed up!"
After saying this, the mage's body flashed with purple light. . Then he took hold of the staff. . . Purple light balls appeared from around him. . .
But no one knew what he was going to do. . . for them. . . The magician is quite unfamiliar. . . There are not many small border towns like this in the Holy Light Empire. . . In addition, magicians are rare. . Therefore, it has long been divided by those big cities or Holy Light City. . .
At this time, hundreds of purple light balls appeared around the magician. . .
Many guards were looking at the mage. . I also marveled at the magic of magic. . . This is a multi-orb. . Even if you follow him all the time, you won't fall behind. . .
"Go!" The mage shouted softly. . . These purple light balls dispersed directly. . .
It flew directly to the hooves of all the horses. . .
In an instant, the speed of these horses increased a lot. . . The difference is probably between driving in the city and driving on the highway. .
Now this can be said to be getting twice the result with half the effort. . Everyone hurried towards the Krupp family's manor. .
At the same time here at the manor. . . The male host has been controlled. . . He saw with his own eyes these servants of his being slain before him. . . Now he is the only one left alive. . .
And those bandits and bandits who went in have also come out. . .
There were two piles of things placed in front of him. . . The pile was the body of the maid who had been hiding in the house. . . These maids were brutally murdered. . There were wounds all over his body. . . Everyone's expression was one of pain. . It seemed that these bandits tortured them before killing them. . .
The other pile contains several large boxes that were found in his manor. . Both the weight of these boxes and the sound of bells ringing inside illustrate a problem. . . That means there is treasure inside. .
But these boxes are locked. . . And the entire box is also made of alloy. . . There are no such craftsmen who can make it in such a small border town. . . So it must have been brought back from some big city at that time. . .
And these are some bandits and bandits. . So they don't have the tools to open the lock. . .
They were just one horse each. . It's impossible to lug such a heavy box around. . Such a large box would require at least a carriage. . . They are also less likely to return empty-handed. . .
