For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 30

A moment later, Beavery stood in Hank's room, staring at the box on the table, silent for a while.

The box had been opened, and inside was Garen's head.

Like Merrick, Hank also takes up the issue of using ice and snow to avoid spoilage.

Of course, this can't last long. According to the next arrangement, Cedar Town will soon arrange a celebration to announce the death of Garon the Rigid Body, and give the people who have trembled under the pressure of the bandits a chance to be released.

At that time, Garen's head would also be thrown into the fire and burned to death.

Hank's previous arrangement was to let Xia En and his party attend the celebration and accept the gratitude and admiration from the residents of Cedar Town, but Xia En refused.

"Uncle Beavery, are you... all right?" Seeing that Beavery hadn't moved for a long time, Shane asked cautiously.

"What's the matter with me?" Beverly came back to his senses suddenly, and laughed, "The enemy is dead, what's the matter with me? What are you talking about!"

"That……"

"I was thinking about how you became so powerful." Beverly smacked his lips, and looked Shane up and down for a while, "I used to beat a direwolf to death, but now I beat Garen and his It's all sorted out..."

While talking, he waved his hand and walked out of the room, "Okay, Garen is dead, so I should go back and get drunk!"

It's just that his footsteps were a little staggering, and he couldn't see the previous free and easy appearance at all.

Hank watched Beffley's figure leave, and it took him a while to react, and he slammed his palm, "By the way, Shane, one of your companions came to me very early and said that he should be here Waiting for you."

"I just sent someone to call him..."

Before he could finish speaking, a surprised voice came from outside, "Merich? Why are you here... umm!"

Then, the door was pushed open, and Meric walked in led by a guard.

The kingdom knight with a calm expression clapped his hands, "That guy outside has a big mouth, so I'll let him be quiet for a while."

He glanced at Xia En and nodded, "I believe you got up early today...you have already gained a lot."

"Of course." Shane smiled, turned to look at Hank, "Captain Hank, about what you said before..."

"It's like this. We can't explore the changes of the Holy Cult garrison. What everyone in Cedar Town can do is to build some simple fortifications and strengthen security and training."

Hank shook his head, "And these things, the guards have been doing these things before to defend against thieves."

"Then what about the suspected series of bandits? Can Cedar Town solve this problem?" Xia En nodded and changed the subject.

"This matter can only be entrusted to the Adventurer's Association." Hank's expression collapsed, "Since the lords disappeared three years ago, there have been fewer and fewer capable people in the town guard."

"Up to now, I can't even find a single capable person. I can only rely on the guards to practice hard to barely guarantee combat effectiveness."

Sean frowned.

Hank's words, the first half actually has a background.

In the area of ​​the northern border, there are three ways to master or spread abilities.

The "Life" path, the "Throne" path, and the "Civilization" path.

For example, Xia En, who used to be a "life" path, was a pure beater, but now he became a "civilization" path shooter, and he immediately became very good at hitting.

But the problem is that the "civilization" path is a lost path. If it weren't for the moth of the second week, it would be impossible for Xia En to switch to this path.

And the "Throne" path...

For some reason, the number of ability users of this path is very small.

However, under the deployment of the northern lords, most of the areas can still have one or two ability users in charge.

But now, Hank actually said that the lords in the north disappeared?

You know, the thirteen lords in the northern border formed the Lords Council in order to face the holy religion in the north, but to advance and retreat together!
Thirteen lords disappeared at the same time, this is simply a big joke!
"Captain Hank, what does it mean that the lords disappeared...?" Xia En asked seriously, "I have been in the secret realm for the past three years, and I don't know what happened outside."

"No one knows the real situation, but there are rumors that traces of the Holy Light appeared in the castles of the lords, and they disappeared because of this... It's just that the Holy Church firmly denies these things."

After a slight pause, Hank continued, "And after the lords disappear, each town will manage itself, except that there is no need to pay taxes to the lords."

"What about the army?" Meric asked proactively.

As a knight of the Holy Kingdom, he doesn't know what's going on here.

"Some were recruited by various towns, some merged into the rebel army, and some fell into bandits and became people similar to Gallon." When Hank said this, his expression finally became a little ugly, "Otherwise, Cedar Town could still be The banditry we have to deal with won't be so big in three years!"

Shane didn't speak again.

According to Hanke, it is very likely that the Holy Cult raided and captured or simply executed the thirteen lords... But it is not easy to jump to conclusions.

After that, the army directly collapsed to various places because there was no tax to support them.

This is quite reasonable.

As for the autonomy of the towns below... Not to mention whether the lord's power can penetrate the town, after the upper center collapses, if no one repairs or establishes another center, then the power will naturally be grasped by the local tyrants.

Coupled with external threats such as banditry, self-government is really a normal thing.

However, there is a vacuum of power at the top and the decentralization of administrative power. However, the autonomous towns are unable to deal with real threats and can only linger on.

The current situation in the North is really bad.

"Okay, Shane, let's not talk about these things." Facing these things, Hank took the initiative to change the subject, as if unwilling to talk about these sad things again, "You are going to the Adventurer's Association with me next. ?"

"The thieves are connected in series. I have to try to issue a mission to them to see if any adventurers can bring useful news."

"As for the bounty and supplies promised by the town, I think... maybe it would be better for you to talk to them in person." Hank said sincerely, "For them, lending money to Cedar Town may be more than a simple loan , it may also be an investment in you."

"Captain Hank, you've already said that. If I refuse again, I won't appreciate it." Shane responded with a smile, then turned to look at Meric, "Melic, you come with that adventurer guard." Remember to communicate more with him..."

"it is good."
