It was a dark night and dark clouds covered the stars.

A certain town currently under the king's control.

Haiao Town.

In Orange, a small town like this would be guarded by five to ten knights.

There are six knights guarding Haiao Town, and the leader is a mid-level knight, Seagull Knight.

The current situation in Prussia is strange and complicated. Small towns like this are often attacked by thieves and the tentacles of the Shadow Council, so the atmosphere in Haio Town is very depressing.

It seems like every day is the eve of an attack, and every day is a war.

In order to avoid being defeated one by one, the knights were concentrated in a villa in the town, and there were people responsible for guarding it day and night.

"I really miss the peaceful life before. Damn the New Party."

The one on guard at the moment was the Seagull Knight. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, flicked away the rest, and cursed at the sky.

The king's direct territory implements the system of governor and city lord, and the garrison knights belong to the security department.

The Seagull Knight is forty-two years old this year, with a very ordinary but very tough-looking face and a sturdy and powerful body.

Before that, he worked as a mercenary in another country. His career as a mercenary made him a mid-level knight, leaving him with many scars and saving a lot of money.

He was tired of living on the edge of a knife. So more than a year ago, he returned to his hometown, Haiao Town. He applied to join the security force and became a knight guarding the town.

The Seagull Knight originally planned to live a peaceful life, marry a beautiful girl, and pass on his bloodline.

But before the Seagull Knight could start living this kind of life, the war broke out.

The new party attacked a small part of the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Shadow Council and ordinary thieves began to wreak havoc, and there was a lot of news.

A city was massacred.

A town was wiped out.

The news made the whole town panic. The middle class in the town wanted to flee to the capital or other big cities, but they were worried about being attacked by thieves on the way.

Even the knights didn't dare to step out of the town.

The whole town became an isolated island.

This is the most common situation in towns of this type in the kingdom.

The entire king's direct territory, ten provinces, and four or five hundred million people were all in turmoil. Although the New Party claimed to be the party of the civilian knights, in fact, many civilian knights hated the New Party.

“Woof woof woof!!”

The captive hunting dog suddenly started barking wildly, which was so abrupt in the dark night.

"There are thieves?!"

The knight's nose was more sensitive than a dog's. Before the hounds barked, the Seagull Knight smelled the scent and saw several figures in the dark.

"Captain, are there any thieves attacking?"

A moment later, the other five knights rushed out of the villa and looked around nervously. Some were young, some were old, but they were all junior knights without exception.

Soon after, about twenty figures gathered towards the villa.

The atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense.

The Seagull Knight also heard the sound of a young knight beside him swallowing saliva.

"Rookie." Seagull Knight thought helplessly.

A moment later, a man walked out from the other side, a middle-aged man with a knife scar on his left eye, but the eye was not injured.

"I'm the thief Buick, and I don't want to fight with you. So just stay here and I won't attack you."

Buick's voice was a little low and full of threat.

"We are the defending knights. If we don't take action now and the news gets out, we will be derelict in our duty and will also be punished. Of course, we can also escape, but in the end we can only be thieves." The Seagull Knight said helplessly to the young knight.

So, the Seagull Knight drew his knight's sword and said nothing, but his attitude was very clear.

The young knight swallowed his saliva with a "grunt".

"What a shame," Buick said.

Just when the situation was about to break out, a group of people arrived silently.

"One, two, three, four, twenty-five thieves in total. Their number is much greater than the intelligence indicated." A cheerful voice sounded in the darkness.

It's like a farmer who grows crops and gets a good harvest.

"Who is it?"

This time, it was Buick and the other thieves who broke out in a cold sweat. How could this group of people come here without making any noise? Did this group of people lie in ambush here, or was it because the other party's level was much higher than theirs?

"Thieves, you are surrounded. If you don't want to get hurt, surrender and I will guarantee your lives."

Luther was standing on a roof, with the little fat dragon Alena beside him, but in human form. She was looking around, looking very restless.

Surrounding him were ten senior knights including the Battle Axe Knight and four junior wizards.

"Don't listen to their lies. If we are caught by the authorities, the only thing waiting for us is hanging. Divide into two teams and break out in the north and south directions." Buick's face changed drastically and he said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Buick immediately turned around and broke out to the south. The thieves around him reacted quickly and immediately followed.

"Capture them alive." Luther sighed helplessly. Can you escape?

Prisoners.

"Shadow Tentacles!" A wizard instantly cast a spell, and a black tentacle immediately wrapped around a thief.

The thief immediately panicked and shouted, "There's a wizard."

The combat wizards quickly controlled five or six thieves, and the Axe Knight and others also fell from the house. The Axe Knight held his giant sword and attacked Buick.

The scorching flames of fighting spirit boiled up in an instant.

"Senior Knight." Buick's face changed drastically. He didn't even have the mind to fight back. He immediately turned around and tried to escape, but was kicked away by the Tomahawk Knight.

The battle has begun and the battle is over.

That's all.

A total of twenty-five thieves were captured alive.

"Thieves, I declare you under arrest now. But I still say that I will guarantee your safety and will not send you to the gallows. So squat down with your hands clasped behind your head."

"If you run away, I'll cut off your legs."

Luther announced loudly, much like a law enforcement officer in a movie.

Soon after, Luther left with the captured thieves. I came and I left, taking many prisoners with me.

"Who are you?" Seagull Knight and others were stunned. It was not until then that they reacted. Seagull Knight couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Gentlemen, please don't take it too seriously. We are just passing knights. If you really care, please call us Batman."

Luther didn't even turn his head, he raised his hand and waved it casually, leaving the name of Batman.

"Batman?!!!"

Seagull Knight and others looked at each other with question marks on their faces.

What the hell.
