Chapter 104 Arrogance

In the woods outside the fence of Stewin Farm.

Willen's face was full of anxiety.

Just now, he thought that he could not only save his daughter, but also destroy a child trafficking den.

As a result, as soon as they came into contact, seven or eight of them were beaten back by the other side's two gatekeepers.

Yes! Just the gatekeepers.

This made Willen suddenly realize that the enemy inside was very powerful. What he found was probably not a den, but an important stronghold or even a lair of the other side.

So, he immediately sent the short man Matteo to report to Lord Hamilton and ask for help.

"Boss, look, two carriages came out of the back door of the farmhouse!" A night watchman in charge of observation whispered to Willen.

Willen immediately looked up and saw two black carriages with large carriages slowly driving out of the farmhouse.

Each carriage had two horses in a row. In addition to the two people driving the horses, who seemed to be the guards they had fought with, there were four or five fully armed mercenary-dressed people guarding the carriages.

In addition, the other party had obviously discovered them, and at this moment, they looked at them provocatively, curled their lips, and seemed quite disdainful.

"Abby must be on the carriage." Thinking of his daughter on it, Willen slapped the tree trunk heavily, his eyes red.

Suddenly, he rushed forward, just to rush up to rescue.

But the two elite Night Watchmen on the side immediately grabbed their captain tightly.

"Wait, Captain, you are going to die. The two guards on the other side are so strong, and the strength of those people must be stronger!"

Willen looked intently, and saw that the other people were either wearing plate armor or chain mail, and their equipment was stronger than that of the elite Night Watchmen.

"Yes, let's wait a little longer. Lord Hamilton should be here soon."

"Boss, if you die, what will happen to Abby?"

"Even if Lord Hamilton rescues Abby in the end, how sad she will be if she knows you are gone!" Another elite Night Watchman also came over to persuade him.

Hearing this, Willen's struggling body paused slightly.

"Yes, if I die, Abby..." The redness in Willen's eyes faded a little.

"But I will wait for five minutes at most. If Lord Hamilton hasn't come in another five minutes, don't stop me." "

Okay, Captain, if Lord Hamilton hasn't come in five minutes, we will accompany you." An enthusiastic Night Watchman said.

This moved Willen very much. He patted the young man's shoulder and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Time passed by minute by minute!

Soon, the seven or eight people dressed as mercenaries on the opposite side seemed to be ready for everything, so they planned to drive the carriage away from Stewin Farm.

Willen was extremely anxious.

"I'll go first!" Willen's face became serious, and he turned his head to look at the other night watchmen and said.

"The enemy is very strong, I will stop them first and hold them back. You follow from a distance and let Lord Hamilton avenge me!"

"Captain!"

Just as Willen was about to step forward, the elite night watchmen on the side shouted excitedly: "Lord Hamilton and the others are coming!"

I saw a team of cavalry approaching rapidly from the south, but almost at the same time, a man in a black robe slowly walked out of the two-story farmhouse.

The other party walked very slowly, giving people a calm and relaxed feeling, as if he was taking a walk in his own back garden.

As if he noticed something, he raised his head slightly and looked to the south.

"Finally here, a formal knight, this is a bit troublesome. I just don't know if the other party will accept my kindness." The black-robed man named Mort said to himself.

Then, he waved his hand, and a strong man in plate armor came out of the farmhouse, dragging two men who were crying and begging for mercy.

After Hamilton and Ryan arrived, they first had a quick look with Willen. After Willen explained the situation, everyone looked at the black-robed man at the door of the farmhouse.

Hamilton looked at the middle-aged man in black robes with a serious face, and stayed on the other's cuffs and collar for a few seconds, and said: "Black Flame Monk?"

Ryan could feel that Hamilton's left hand holding the shield tightened. Obviously, this so-called Black Flame Monk was very strong, so strong that even Hamilton was afraid of it.

"Hey! You actually know us? It seems that you are not an ordinary knight?" The black-robed man finally looked at Hamilton a little seriously.

"This is the sheriff of our Shining Gold Town, Lord Hamilton!" The short man Matteo on the side seemed a little indignant at the other's attitude and said loudly.

Hamilton did not speak, but recalled the brief fight with a Black Flame Monk in the County City.

The opponent had a strong body of a formal knight, plus a strange and powerful black flame, which made him suffer a small loss.

In addition, since that battle, his position as patrol captain in the County City was also adjusted, and he was transferred to the town of Shining Gold as a sheriff.

This also indirectly confirmed his guess that the opponent had deep connections in the noble circle of the County City, and could actually affect the job adjustment at his level.

And Ryan also saw the other party's face clearly at this moment, and the narrow and long corners of his eyes gave people a sharp feeling like a venomous snake.

"Your Excellency the Sheriff, I have a suggestion that is more beneficial to both of us. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it." The Black Flame Monk said slowly, as if he was the official representative of the Empire.

It was the first time that Ryan saw such an arrogant guy!

"You say." Hamilton frowned when he heard this, but it seemed that for some reason, Hamilton had to suppress his anger.

"These two are the murderers who kidnapped children. I will hand them and this base to you. In this way, your trip will not be in vain. In addition, you can add a merit to your resume." The Black Flame Monk glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground and gestured.

"Then, we will leave separately. A perfect plan, isn't it?" The Black Flame Monk said with a smile.

"Don't even think about it! My daughter is still in your hands, you scum!" Willen couldn't help but roared.

"Oh? Is that so?" The Black Flame Monk was obviously stunned, and then he laughed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to kidnap the wrong person. Um... What's your daughter's name? She will be released immediately." The Black Flame monk seemed a little embarrassed, and he bowed slightly like a gentleman, smiling.

"Abby!" Willen's eyes flickered, he stammered twice, and finally said the name.

Hamilton still didn't say anything, but his face was as gloomy as water, staring at him closely.

"Kev, go and bring a little girl named Abby." The Black Flame monk said loudly.

Then, the other party turned to Willen and smiled and said, "Don't worry, your daughter will be back to you soon."

His expression and attitude were extremely natural, and he didn't think that he was abducting children in violation of the imperial decree.

Ryan knew that this was actually a kind of arrogance from a high position, so arrogant that he despised all the imperial law enforcers present.

The Black Flame monk in front of him obviously thought that he had made a very big concession by releasing the little girl Abby.

The heavy hammer man on the opposite carriage shouted, "Yes, sir!"

The other party lifted the black curtain at the back of the carriage and asked loudly, "Who is Abby? If yes, nod!"

Although the carriage was not close to Ryan and others, it was only a few dozen meters away, so almost all the night watchmen could clearly see the scene in the carriage.

The carriage was densely packed with children, with their hands and feet tied and cloth balls stuffed in their mouths, as if they were pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

"It seems that they are not in this carriage." Just as the heavy hammer man named Kev muttered about lowering the black curtain.

Suddenly, a little girl whimpered a few times, and then nodded quickly, with joy and fear in her eyes. If you follow her eyes, you can see that the person she is looking at is Willen.

It turned out that the little girl Abby didn't understand the situation at first and didn't dare to admit it, but through the gap in the curtain, she saw the familiar figure of her father, and then nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the other children's eyes, filled with desire and expectation, were wide open, looking at Hamilton, Ryan, Willen and other night watchmen in uniform.

They seemed to be looking forward to being rescued like the lucky girl.

This made the faces of the elite night watchmen change, their eyes slightly red, and they seemed to have a sense of shame in their hearts.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" The heavy hammer man sneered, and picked up the little girl Abby, like a light chicken.

And took her directly to the side of the Black Flame Monk.

The Black Flame Monk glanced at the excited Willen and said, "It seems that this is the little girl, Kev, don't let go and let her go."

Kev smiled, pulled out the cloth ball stuffed in the little girl Abby's mouth, and untied the rope on his body.

Willen was so happy to find his daughter Abby that he burst into tears.

"Your Excellency the Sheriff, look, we can go now!" Mort narrowed his eyes and smiled. At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling the man with the giant hammer and another strong man who was guarding the two gangsters to go first.

Although he was asking, his tone and actions were more like a notification, rather than really asking for Hamilton's opinion.

The other party's "reasonableness" made Hamilton hesitate for a moment.

First of all, the other party is very strong. If a fight really breaks out, there will be heavy casualties. At the same time, I don't know how many of the more than 20 children can survive.

But it's really hard to let them go like this!

"As a lord and sheriff appointed by the empire, I actually watched the other party take away more than 20 children. Hamilton felt that he would never get over this."

Perhaps this is also because he himself was born a commoner, not a noble!

"I'll hold this guy back. Can you guys kill those guys and save the kids?" Hamilton turned to look at the Night Watchmen and whispered. However, his sharp eyes through the visor stayed on Ryan the longest.

Ryan nodded and was about to say something when an unknown Night Watchman started to recite:

"The long night is coming. I am the sword in the darkness and the shield that protects the empire."

Immediately afterwards, the other elite Night Watchmen also whispered together, "I am the beacon before dawn, illuminating the tranquility of the night."

The voices became louder and louder!

"Whenever danger comes, I am the horn that awakens the battle. I will be loyal to my duty and will not fear life or death."

At this time, the voices of the more than 20 Night Watchmen present had merged into a torrent. It might not be deafening, but the firmness revealed in their voices made people look sideways.
