The battle that broke out on the night of the last day of February in the year 795 of the New Calendar came to an end silently, because even Duan Qing did not expect that the man who had been chasing after him the night before finally came to an end.

The heavily armored man who even severely injured himself has such a powerful appeal.

The loud shouts of death throughout the city began to subside as the sound echoed, and the several leaders-looking people standing in front of him slowly gave up their intention to continue fighting.

"Is this the answer you gave the city lord?"

Retracting his gaze from the night sky far away in the city, Reiner, whose face was still covered by a pair of heavy armor, said in a deep voice: "In this way...to solve the problem between you?"

"You didn't seem to object to this before, Reiner." Old Joel, holding a gun in one hand, raised his hand and looked at the man on the roof indifferently: "Last night, you personally dealt with a

people……"

"That was the city lord's order." The heavy-helmeted man replied in a low voice: "It was an act authorized by Master Fan Gaal. That matter..."

"How can it be compared to what you are doing now?"

"...Well, this was all Huskar's idea."

The old Joel was silent for a while, and finally chose a temporary compromise: "We just agreed to his conditions for the sake of our old friend..."

"Conditions?" There was a hint of surprise in the heavily armored man's voice: "That giant ax Huskar?"

"I know this is surprising, at least it was when I heard it at the time, but...whether it was taught by others or learned by himself, he has now learned to negotiate terms." Old Joel spread his hands and smiled.

: "Perhaps what happened last night overstimulated him. Not to mention the honest Huskar, even I...after losing half of my territory, I probably wouldn't be in the mood to argue with the city lord.

.”

"That is also the grudge between him and Eduin. You should not have interfered." The heavily armored man with his arms folded replied in a loud voice: "Your sin of breaking the rules will not disappear because of this."

"Hey, the Throne War was not started by a few of us, why don't you go find them." Pointing to the direction of another main battlefield in the north of the city, the smile on Old Joel's face grew bigger and bigger: "

There are other people... they are also people participating in the battle."

"I have not exempted them from their responsibilities. Everyone must go to the city lord to atone their sins."

Looking down at the unconscious black figure in the corner, Reiner's voice gradually became serious: "The casualties of candidates for the throne who are not caused by legitimate reasons... cannot be recognized."

"Galo is not that easy to die, and the same goes for Eduin."

Pointing to a tall, thin man surrounded by iron chains who was gnashing his teeth not far away, the smile on Joel's face slowly disappeared: "Some are just guys who want to take advantage of troubled waters, and adventurers who like to cause trouble...

You should understand, right?"

"The adventurer is the real murderer who caused this casualty... You want to use this as a shield again, don't you?"

Lowering his head and pondering these words, Reiner shook his head slowly, but his eyes followed the crowd that was gradually dispersing, looking towards the players from several major guilds who were still entangled in the distance: "Only the dangers

Sex, those adventurers are indeed much higher than you. Although they are lacking in strength, no matter how ruthless they are in dealing with their enemies and their various methods, they are not much different from old gangsters like you... Ha."

"I'm very happy...to see the results of this time come out." The heavily armored man's voice suddenly brought a slight smile: "After all, there are not many people who can teach you guys a lesson...there are not many people left.

.”

"...I will also report clearly to the city lord about the adventurers this time."

A tired voice came from the direction of Eduin, who was holding his arm. However, it seemed that because of the previous battle, this voice also lost its original harshness: "In the name of the city lord, these guys should accept the freedom of the city."

Punishment! You, that adventure group named No. 2 in the World, and those sneak attackers, don’t even think about it in the future... Huh?"

His gaze paused for a moment, and then suddenly appeared at the wall under Reiner's feet. With the whistling sound again, the chain on his hand was pulled towards Duan Qing's position: "This, this is fake!

He ran away! When did he run away!"

"...The smell of those companions has also disappeared." Stark, carrying a giant hammer, also appeared on the street not far away: "When did they escape?"

"Can someone who can take one of Reiner's moves without dying and suppress Garo in that situation still be afraid of you guys?"

Holding the cowboy hat on his head with one hand, Officer Ricas blew out a big smoke ring into the dark night: "I have told you many times not to underestimate those adventurers. This time, I am just a very good person."

Lessons learned...next time, you might not be so lucky."

"It's not your turn to scold us, Ricas." Old Joel, who was holding a long gun, leaned sideways and squinted his eyes in the direction of the police officer: "It's better to look down on us with your eyes that are worse than a Bismon.

, it would be better to talk about something more useful...who are they?"

"A few adventurers who have just arrived in this city, that's all I know."

The corner of his mouth holding the pipe in his mouth twitched to the side, and Ricas raised his head with a smile: "They appeared here inexplicably, and were chased from one end to the other. Along the way, they not only saved my life, but they were also almost killed by someone.

Some people died in Jialuo's domain...what, am I wrong?"

"...I just didn't take action just to avoid misunderstanding."

Seemingly remembering his act of standing by and watching in the previous battle, Old Joel lowered his head and touched his nose: "But in the end, it was okay, and it gave them a chance to prove their strength..."

"I'm afraid those who claim to have seen them last night don't have such a small idea, right?" Likas grinned even more exaggeratedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity... I'm afraid your recruitment plan is going to go to waste."

"It doesn't matter, hunters are always the most patient people."

Carrying the spear at his side behind him, Old Joel turned his head and glanced in the direction of the dock: "What's more..."

"The focus right now is probably not their turn."

"...As for the relevance of the Restoration, I will formally question the Regicide."

Under Eduin's eyes full of resentment, Reiner on the roof seemed to understand what Old Joel meant, and then lowered his arms and spoke lightly of tonight's verdict: "Explanation about that power

, will soon appear in front of everyone, and the owner of the fifth throne of the Twelve Thrones... will also accept the fate he deserves."

"I promise you in the name of the Silver and Black Knight." He looked around at the people around him, and his voice returned to its usual calmness: "This trial... will be accepted by everyone."

"Hey, you say that every time..."

"Stark doesn't believe it, but Stark listens to you."

"Hmph...you are the boss, you have the final say."

"I'm afraid one of the Twelve Thrones will be vacant again..."

"I said, the adventurers' matter...is this the end?"

Amidst the murmurs of several people, Old Joel, who was carrying a spear, looked at the sky in the distance and suddenly asked a question in a low voice: "Anyway... they will have a share in the result of tonight's battle, right?"

"The city lord makes his own decision."

The sound of metal friction sounded again as the heavily armored warrior turned around, heading towards the far side of the alleyway: "But according to my understanding... the result this time is probably the same as before."

"Free City never interferes in any way with what adventurers do, whether in the past or in the future... This will not change."

The voice gradually faded away, and finally disappeared in front of everyone: "The reason for this..."

"No need to explain it below."

"Hey……"

Seemingly confirming the disappearance of the man, Ricas exhaled while pressing his hat, then snapped his fingers at the others present, sheathed his sword and walked into the distance of the night: "I'm sorry, old guys,

It looks like you are going to leave empty-handed tonight."

"...Aren't you going to have a drink or two? Are you in such a hurry to leave...do you still have to rush to the show?"

"Alas...you are right."

Pointing to the north of the city without looking back, the police officer turned around gracefully, and then under the gaze of others, he waved to them with his back: "Sheer Street over there..."

"There is another mess waiting for me to clean up."

****************************

"It's really hard to deal with now."

Panting, Duan Qing sat down in the corner of the alleyway. Duan Qing put down a hand that was supporting Wu Yu Liu's mouth, and then while looking at the clear night sky, he murmured to himself: "In order to give you vent, I provoked you."

Such a big group of people..."

"The weak will eat the strong, and the strong will be respected... There is no other place on the Free Continent that believes in this more than the Free City." The blue-haired woman who looked very weak replied in a low voice: "This time... maybe there will be one

What a good harvest.”

"That's not necessarily true. After all, we are provoking the center of power in this city." The woman in the black cloak looked back from time to time, as if to help warn of the movements behind her: "Did you not notice those people just now?

The look in their eyes...they want to eat us all."

"So this is the reason why I want to take the opportunity to run away." Duan Qing wiped his mouth and replied: "If I am surrounded by those guys who have stopped, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape."

"By the way...how did you deceive them?"

"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning... Hey, where are you touching?"

"Check your physical condition...you, you, don't always like to be a hero, okay?"

"It's okay, I haven't exceeded the limit of this body this time...wait a minute, I asked for your permission before rushing forward, okay?"

"Am I overdoing it?"

"There's none?"

"No, absolutely--no--no."

"Oh, so when it comes to creatures like women...hey, hey, don't pinch, don't pinch, be careful of losing too much blood and dying back to the city."

Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was carrying his back, stood still for a while, and his body slowly became stiff. In the end, he still couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart, and turned around with a frown: "You two... still want to
