Chapter 461: Their own beliefs
This is the strangest team Rennes Med has ever seen.
On the square table in the lobby of the first floor of the castle, there is a detailed picture of the Long Song Fortress.
There were six people around the square table, namely the Iron Axe, the police captain Vader from the Border Town, the current leader of the Fire Gang, the Nightingale, the Black-haired Witch Ashes, and himself, as the Earl of Elk.
Renn never thought that he would need the help of a mouse one day, nor did he think that he would cooperate with the witch.
"My dear sirs, there are almost seven or eight gangs in the fortress at present," Liebo smiled flatteringly and said, "The most members are the Scythe Gang located in the north area of the outer city, with about five or six hundred people, but the strongest one is the Death Knives in the inner city. Most of them are composed of fugitives and mercenaries, and they hardly accept the joining of ordinary civilians. There are many weapons and armor. Of course, if this is not the case, it will not occupy the fattest position."
"The east of the city is the territory of the rotten worms and vulture gangs. With the convenience of the dock area, they mainly do slaves and dream water, and their methods of doing things are particularly cruel. I heard that the two mouse organizations are standing behind the Wolf House and Maple Ye Family, but when we were beaten up by our Fire Gang several years ago, no great nobleman came out to help them." He said a little proudly.
"As for the west part of the city, the gangs are much more complicated... Because they are all small gangs, I have only dealt with their leaders at most. They are respectively."
"The news of the gang is not important, so there is no need to explain it in detail here," the tall Mojin member interrupted. "I just want to ask, can you take us to the nests of these underground rats?"
"Ahem, this adult..." Liegu nodded at him, "As the saying goes, mice build nests, nine out of ten holes. I know the main gathering places of each gang, but it is impossible to even know every shelter in them, especially those hiding places built using dry wells and basements. Only the leaders and confidants know the specific location."
"He was right about this," Renn sighed. "The mice were vulnerable to the head-on battle, but it would be difficult to clean them up one by one."
"If an attack was launched suddenly, there would be a chance, but now the notice has been issued. By the time of action, those leaders should have been hiding."
"Hide?" the black-haired witch sneered, "Unless he hides in Chishui City, as long as he stays in the fortress, there will be no one we can't find."
"Yes, you said yes." The cracked bone rubbed the sweat on his forehead and stopped arguing.
The pressure this witch named Ashes puts amazing. Rennes went to the battlefield and fought evil beasts in Hermes. He knew what the real warrior should look like... But even those battle-hardened judges will be overshadowed in front of her. The other party does not need to show any scary appearance. Just standing there can make people dare not look directly at it easily.
There is no doubt that she not only saw blood and took the life of the enemy, but also wandered on the verge of life and death, so that she could have such a domineering momentum.
"According to your Highness's wishes, we have three days to prepare. After the first batch of rations are distributed, the army will start from the North City Gate and clear out the rat gangs in each area in turn." Tiefu said in a deep voice, "This strike is only aimed at the organizers, and we will strive to disintegrate the black street in the shortest time."
"But...will this really work?" As the other party walked towards the door of the hall, Renn couldn't help asking, "There has never been a city that can destroy rats. As long as there is a people, they will not stop."
Iron Axe turned around and looked at him, "Is that right? There are no rats in Border Town."
...
After everyone left, only Vader stayed.
"Sir Earl, has anyone applied for a police position to the Town Hall at present?"
"Not yet... But I heard from Perro that dozens of people have signed up for the Second Army." Rennes sat down slowly with the square table, and the words of the iron axe were still echoing in his mind. After a while, he whispered, "Is there really no rats in the town?"
"If it is said that the Black Street organization in the usual sense does not have it," Vader shrugged. "There is no shortage of food, no worries about housing. Both men and women can find a suitable job. Even a handyman can pay enough to fill his stomach. To be honest, I would not believe that there is such a place in the Gray Castle Kingdom before I went to Border Town."
"Why?" Ren couldn't help asking.
"I don't know, sir..." Vader spread his hands, "What His Highness Roland does is far from any noble I have ever met."
"Don't call me lord," he waved his hand, "Your Highness let us work together to deal with this matter, and we can put the title aside in private."
The other party nodded without refusing. This straightforward personality made Rennes appreciate, "Do you think His Highness can really eradicate all the mice in the fortress and turn the entire Western border into a sluggish land?"
"I'm not sure." Vader's answer surprised him a little, "After all, I used to be a patrol captain, and I have been dealing with mice for several years. Their existence is like a shadow under the sun, and it is difficult to play any role by means of tough measures alone. His Highness once said that if it is a big city of millions, he may not be able to manage everything, but if there are only one hundred thousand people, it is not impossible to remove these underlying slags. Simply put, it is enough to make the people feel that being a rat is too expensive, and there are many more suitable alternatives."
"Is the price too high?" Rennes automatically skipped the city of one million people. One hundred thousand people alone is an incredible magnificent city. "This is not something that can be done in a short period of time."
"Yes, fighting rats, or crimes, is never a matter of overnight," Vader nodded, "the police are the institutions established by His Highness Roland for this matter. It is completely different from the patrol team. I have already told you this."
It is indeed completely different. They received the salaries of the town hall, rather than obeying a certain noble, who maintained the order of the area and did not join the criminals.
"And, most importantly, Your Highness said something to me."
"What's the matter?"
"In fact, I mentioned your doubts to him," Vader smiled, "and his Highness told me, "If you can't do it, don't you do it?"
Rennes Med suddenly felt a sudden thunder in his heart, as if something suddenly became clear. If it weren't possible, he wouldn't have been running on the road of the Knights. Although he has taken over the throne of the Earl and seems to be getting further and further away from the life he likes, as long as he can continue to fight on the battlefield that protects the people, he will not be far away from the path in his heart. On the contrary, it will only become wider and wider.
"So that's it...I understand." He took a deep breath.
"I was also quite shocked," Vader sighed, "but I still don't understand what the last sentence said by Your Highness."
"Is there any?" Renn said expectantly.
