In Bailong County, the massive encirclement and suppression campaign between the Batian Gang and the rogue army has attracted close attention from the entire county, especially the official.
Led by "Shi Yuande", the governor of Bailong County, all the military and political officials of Bailong County, large and small, maintained a "wait-and-see" attitude towards this matter.
They neither praised nor denounced the Batian Gang. They had a vague intention of using the Batian Gang as a pawn to contain the rogue bandits in the county.
However, Sheriff Shi never dreamed that disaster would come from heaven while someone was sitting in the mansion.
Tonight, Sheriff Shi, who was undressing and undressing his concubine in the seventh room in the wing, preparing to show off his talents, suddenly received an emergency report.
Suddenly, a large number of bandits gathered in the east, west, north, and south of the Sheriff's Mansion, and they were rushing towards the Sheriff's Mansion at full speed.
There are a huge number of these bandits, and they are now no more than a hundred miles away from the county governor's mansion.
Suddenly hearing this urgent report, Sheriff Shi was so frightened that he almost forgot to put on his pants, so he dressed up and went out in a hurry.
The so-called "prefecture's mansion" is also comparable in size to a city, but there are more troops than civilians in the city, so it is the concentration point of a county's military strength.
But now the county governor's office has sent more than 80% of its troops to station in various cities in the county. Now is the time when the city defense is "empty". How could Sheriff Shi not be surprised when he first heard that rogue bandits were invading the country.
He rushed to the office lobby in the north of the city overnight and quickly summoned all his officials to discuss the matter.
The civil servants and military officers of all sizes in the county governor's mansion were summoned here from their beds in the middle of the night. They all looked confused and didn't know what happened.
When it was revealed that Sheriff Shi had gathered the bandits and approached the Sheriff's Mansion, all the officials in the hall were immediately shocked.
They all know that the current military strength of the county governor's mansion is weak and the internal defense is empty. Once the army of rogue bandits gathers to kill, the county governor's mansion will be in a worrying situation.
However, there are some generals who are dismissive of this.
At this moment, a general who was as tall as an iron tower and wore a suit of armor stood up and spoke.
"Sir, don't worry. These bandits are just a group of stragglers, and they are not many in number. When they gather together, I think there are only one or two thousand people at most.
There are still 2,000 troops in the garrison of our county governor's mansion. With the governor sitting in charge and relying on the city, it can be said that it is impregnable and there is no danger! "
After hearing what the general said, everyone in the hall suddenly felt at ease.
After all, the two thousand men and horses left behind in the governor's mansion are all elite soldiers and brave generals. In addition, the governor Shi Yuande is a star-level powerhouse. The defensive power of the county governor's mansion is much stronger than that of Bailong County.
However, just when everyone was relaxed and felt that this matter did not constitute a crisis, another whistleblower came to report.
The person who came was a Sentinel Qianhu, but he was carried into the hall on a stretcher.
This Qianhu was covered in blood at the moment, his body was covered with bandages, and his hands and feet were also splinted. He was obviously seriously injured.
Seeing this situation, everyone in the hall was shocked. Sheriff Shi's round face also tightened slightly, and he frowned and stared at the man on the stretcher.
"Di Qianhu, why did you do this? Didn't I order you to lead two hundred sentries out of the city to collect intelligence?"
Recently, the dispute between the Batian Gang and the bandits has intensified in Bailong County. Sheriff Shi has already sent people out of the city to collect relevant intelligence every day.
After hearing Sheriff Shi's inquiry, the man on the stretcher said feebly.
"Lord Sheriff... His subordinates are incompetent, and all of his subordinates... are all dead?"
"Huh...?" Sheriff Shi was shocked.
"what happened?"
The man immediately reported what happened tonight intermittently.
It turned out that Di Qianhu led two hundred sentinels out of the city today and dispersed to collect information. Before nightfall, everyone gathered together and planned to enter the city to report.
Unexpectedly, when they returned to the city, they encountered an accident.
When they left the city, in order to conceal themselves from others, these sentries changed their attire, wearing soft armor on the inside and animal skins on the outside. They were dressed very similar to those of the bandits.
It was precisely because of this that it caused trouble for them.
On the way back to the city, they encountered a group of bandits, who directly asked them for the "secret code".
Di Qianhu and others knew something was wrong, so they acted decisively and wanted to wipe out the opponent.
Unexpectedly, this group of bandits was not ordinary. When the two sides fought, Di Qianhu and others not only did not take advantage, but gradually became frustrated.
To make matters worse, the other party mistook them as members of the Batian Gang and fired a signal flare on the spot, followed by an army of rogue bandits from all directions, surrounding them like a tidal wave!
Seeing that something was going wrong, Di Qianhu immediately ordered everyone to break out in order to pass on information.
But the rogue bandits were so powerful that in the end only Di Qianhu survived and escaped back to the city.
After hearing Di Qianhu's story, Sheriff Shi and all the officials in the hall looked sulky.
"These thieves deserve to die!"
The general who had spoken earlier stood up angrily and said, "My lord, the general is willing to lead a thousand troops to fight out of the city, wipe out the gang of bandits, and avenge our brothers!"
Sheriff Shi frowned and waved his hands.
"General Lu, don't be anxious. Let Di Qianhu explain what is going on outside the city now?"
Di Qianhu endured the pain and reported: "Master Sheriff... the situation is extremely bad. It doesn't matter that the people of the Batian Gang fled all the way, but these bandits were all led to the vicinity of the Sheriff's Mansion from all over the place.
According to the intelligence collected by his subordinates and brothers, nearly ten thousand bandits have gathered within a hundred miles of the county governor's mansion. "
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, Sheriff Shi and all the officials in the hall were shocked.
And Di Qianhu continued: "Sir, these bandits are amazingly powerful. I heard that they are led by at least ten strong men from the False Star Realm, and they are coming with great force. Sir... we must be careful!"
When everyone in the hall heard this, it was like a ladle of cold water was poured on their heads, and they were all stunned.
There are nearly 10,000 rogue bandits, and there are ten fake star realm experts leading the team. This kind of lineup is simply unbelievable. It is actually a group of rogue bandits who are making trouble. This is obviously a large army pressing down on the border.
Even Commander Shi, a star-level expert, couldn't help but change his expression after hearing about the enemy's strength.
Star powerhouses are not invincible. They are also unable to withstand thousands of troops.
What's more, how could he conclude that the enemy did not have a star-level expert to take the lead?
Moreover, the opponent is now approaching a hundred miles away from the county governor's mansion. Their intentions are dangerous and they must be guarded against.
For a moment, Sheriff Shi's eyes turned to General Lu, who had previously volunteered to exterminate the bandits.
"General Lu, did you just say that you would personally lead troops out of the city to suppress the bandits?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, General Lu, who had previously been full of momentum and fearless, appeared.
At this moment, his expression suddenly became stiff, and his feet couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Are you kidding me? There are ten fake star realm experts and nearly ten thousand troops on the other side. If you lead a thousand troops out, you are not going to "suppress the bandits", you are simply going to "actively disarm"!
"Ahem... Lord Sheriff, I will admit that I was a little impulsive just now.
According to General Yimo, this matter is far from reaching the point of sending troops out of the city. "
"Oh... General Lu, what do you think?"
"Eh..." Lu Pian turned his eyes and said immediately.
"Reporting to the Sheriff, as the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. The reason why these bandits gathered here is just to wipe out the Batian Gang. What does it have to do with my Sheriff's Mansion?
In my humble opinion, we should stand still at this moment. When these bandits destroy the Batian Gang, they will naturally disperse! "
General Lu Pian was somewhat witty, and as soon as he said this, he instantly won the approval of many people.
Everyone more or less knew the details of these bandits, and naturally they were unwilling to take the initiative to provoke them.
However, at this moment, the dying Sentinel Qianhu spoke again.
"County... Lord Sheriff, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, the Batian Gang disappeared without a trace after entering a hundred miles of our Sheriff's Mansion.
And... the leader of the Batian Gang, "Long Aotian", spread the news that he has led all the Batian Gang into the county guard's city. "
"What!"
After hearing the news, the hearts of everyone in the hall, who had just relaxed, suddenly rose to their throats again.
Seeing the Lord Sheriff's eyes looking back at him, Lu Pianjiang secretly cursed the eighteenth generation ancestor of "Long Aotian" in his heart, while speaking seriously on his face.
"Don't be anxious, Lord Sheriff. As the saying goes, "to behave upright, sit upright," the Sheriff's Mansion has never housed a single soldier of the Batian Gang. Even if Long Aotian wants to divert trouble to the east, someone must believe it. That’s it!
Furthermore, if you, Lord Sheriff, are in charge of the Sheriff's Mansion, these bandits will never dare to attack the City Lord's Mansion.
From the general's point of view, we still have to remain unchanged and adapt to changes. "
"Well..." Sheriff Shi couldn't help but nodded slightly after hearing these words.
"General Lu's words are not unreasonable. In that case, we might as well wait and see what happens before..."
Before Sheriff Shi finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted outside the hall.
"Repay...!"
A soldier rushed into the hall anxiously, knelt on one knee and said.
"Report to the Governor, the North City Tower has just been attacked by the enemy!"
Sheriff Shi was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but ask: "Oh...could it be that there are rogues invading?"
The soldier shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like it was done by rogue bandits. The other party knocked out the guards on the tower and then hung dozens of heads on the tower."
"Head?"
When everyone was confused, the soldier had already reported to the police: "Well...according to the findings of my subordinates, these heads seem to be those of rogue bandits and leaders of each squad!"
"What!"
Sheriff Shi and others were once again taken aback, feeling a faint sense of "conspiracy".
And the soldier reported: "By the way, Lord Sheriff, when we found out about this, we also found a message written in blood outside the city wall."
"What kind of gift?" Sheriff Shi asked immediately.
"Uh... it says..."
"I would like to congratulate my brother Shi Yuande on his sixtieth birthday with the head of a bandit. I wish brother Yuande to kill the bandits and make great achievements!
Brother, Long Aotian's own handwriting. "
Hearing the soldiers say the words of dedication on the city wall, Sheriff Shi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Long...Long Aotian!"
Sheriff Shi's face turned red with anger. If he didn't know at this moment that the Tyrant Gang came thousands of miles away just to put a huge "shit basin" on his head, then he would not be worthy of being the Sheriff. .
Although he was filled with hatred for the leader of the Batian Gang whom he had never met before, Commander Shi kept his head and gave the order immediately.
"Take off the head immediately and remove the writing on the city wall!"
However, the soldier said with a bitter look on his face.
"Reporting to your lord, those heads have been discovered by a group of bandits, who shot them down with bows and arrows and took them away.
He also threatened... that he would break into the county governor's mansion, take down the county governor, you and Long Aotian, skin them and cramp them, and cut them into pieces with a thousand cuts...! "
Hearing these words, Sheriff Shi was completely "broken"!
"Long Aotian... belongs to your uncle!"
Sheriff Shi was so angry that his face became ferocious and his whole body was trembling. He wished he could capture Long Aotian, eat his flesh and drink his blood.
At the same time, he also understood that this time it was really "yellow mud fell off his crotch, it was either shit or shit", and the county governor's office was definitely taking the blame!
After the rage, Sheriff Shi gradually regained his composure.
Although according to his true intention, he was not willing to fight head-on with these bandits, but now that the enemy was approaching the city, a big battle was inevitable.
Cursing Long Aotian and the Batian Gang a thousand times in his heart, Sheriff Shi finally gritted his teeth and ordered.
"Li...immediately summon Lieutenant Wu and the garrison troops from various cities to rush to the aid of the governor's mansion!"
