Guru was not exaggerating at all. When Wu Lai arrived at the canal protection site where Baker was in charge, only Baker and a few townspeople who had not yet received their wages were left.

Even Baker's place is like this, so you can imagine what other places are like.

"Baker, where are Sean and the others?" Wu Lai asked hurriedly.

"Lord Wu Lai, they went that way." Baker quickly pointed to the right. After pointing, he was suddenly stunned. He thought, Wu Lai looked so angry, could he have any conflict with Sean and Henry?

After a little thought, Baker felt that this possibility was too great. It was not Baker's style to ignore the excitement, so he immediately ordered people to seal the cash box and the signature box, and he trotted off to chase Wu Lai and Guru.

It was natural that Henry and Hubble had agreed to return to Saltmarsh Town one day apart, and there was more to the agreement.

Sean is Hodge's loyal confidant. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted smoothly from an ordinary military disciplinarian assistant to the deputy general of the South District of the First Legion's garrison in Lunvington City within five years. You know, the South District of Lunvington is the most prosperous place in Lunvington, with many merchants and the most lucrative business. Hodge arranged Sean in the South District, which shows his care for him.

Sean was naturally grateful to Hodge. Not only did he entertain Hodge and show more respect than other district-level lieutenants, he also competed to do things that were not his responsibility, such as finding a woman for Hodge and personally supervising the renovation of Hodge's house.

However, the reason he led his team to Salt Marsh Town today was because of Hodge's instructions. Excluding the fact that Henry was obstructing it, this was almost the common practice in the Assyrian territory - if officials did not know how to "respect" their superiors when they took office, they would easily be given a pair of small shoes by their superiors.

But Wu Lai was an exception because of his special background. No matter whether he was "filial" or not, he would suffer.

Before leaving, Hodge did not give Sean any specific instructions, that is, how and what kind of trouble he would make for Wu Lai was entirely up to Sean, because Hodge believed that his subordinate would not let him down. Of course, this was also to leave some room for maneuver, in case Sean messed up or went too far, Wu Lai and the people behind him would not be able to find fault with him.

Sean is a man who knows how to deal with things and is good at making trouble. As soon as he approached the town, he found a point of entry - the retaining wall was pushed down and trenches were dug around the town. It seemed that he was destroying the "solid defense system and concept" of the city of Lovington.

Then, Sean took action, driving away the townspeople who were working on the project, confiscating tools, and seizing cattle, horses, and vehicles used for transportation. Henry saw how enthusiastic he was, so he quickly asked the driver to call his confidants over. With a few words, he gave them orders, and no matter whether it was coercion or bribery, the Salt Marsh Town militia, which did not want to be heard by Woolley, hurriedly gathered and ran to become Sean's temporary lackeys.

When Woolley caught up with Sean, the arrogant lieutenant was forcing a group of townspeople to fill the canal with soil - he had just realized that he had made a mistake, that is, he should not have driven the people away, but should have filled the soil from the inner bank back into the canal as he was doing now.

You dig, I will fill it up, I don't believe you dare to dig it back. As soon as Sean thought so, he turned around and saw Wu Lai.

What surprised him was that Wu Lai was actually smiling.

"Shouldn't he be angry? Why is he laughing?" Sean was puzzled.

"Welcome Vice Admiral Sean to Salt Marsh Town." Wu Lai stopped a few steps in front of Sean. "Lunwenton is hundreds of miles away from Salt Marsh Town. Vice Admiral Sean must have been exhausted from the long journey. You should at least have a drink to welcome him and let me, Wu Laigelin, show some hospitality. There's no need to rush around like this, right?"

"Yes, Lieutenant General Sean, Governor Wu Lei has arranged for the tavern in the town to prepare rich food and wine for you and your soldiers. If Lieutenant General Sean has nothing else important to do, let's go have a few drinks together now?" Gulu said with a smile.

Sean frowned and thought to himself, you two immature boys are trying to use the same trick on me, huh, it's not working.

After thinking about it, Sean waved his hand and said, "General Wuleglindo, I am a military officer, so let's skip the red tape. Let me ask you, why do you want to tear down the good retaining wall?!"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Wu Lai's eyes, and he thought, if you want to ask, just ask, why are you suddenly raising your voice and scolding me?

Henry, who was standing behind Sean, had a blank expression on his face, as if it had nothing to do with him, but he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking, "You, Wuleglin, are so arrogant, why are you smiling now?" Just as he was thinking this, one of Henry's confidants quietly put his mouth close to his ear and said, "Lieutenant General Henry..."

"Lieutenant General Sean, let's talk about demolishing the retaining wall somewhere else." The smile on Wu Lai's face gradually disappeared. It is always easier to fill a hole than to dig one. In just a few words, the inner bank of the canal dozens of steps long behind Sean had been almost destroyed. How could Wu Lai still laugh when he thought about how much hard work of so many people had been wasted?

"Talk? What's there to talk about?!" Sean glanced at Wu Lai coldly and said, "This wall has existed since the establishment of Salt Marsh Town. I don't know how many generations and how many people have been protected by it. Wu Lai Grindo, you have only been in Salt Marsh Town for a few days, and you have already dismantled the defense line of Salt Marsh Town. What is your intention? Are you in cahoots with the bandit gang?!"

As soon as these words came out, people started whispering all around. Sean's words were very harsh, but Sean's starting point was not to frame or accuse Wu Lai, but to deliberately give him a warning and make him lose face.

Guru frowned and couldn't help but take a step forward past Wu Lai. When he was about to open his mouth to refute, Wu Lai suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"I know you can't bear to hear this, and neither can I." Wu Lai said softly, gave Guru a smile, patted him on the shoulder, took a step forward, and shortened the distance between himself and Sean to two steps.

"Sean." Wu Lai's eyes turned cold as he looked at Sean, and then he said word by word, "If you have the guts, say your last sentence again!"

The moment his eyes met with Wu Lai's, Sean couldn't help but feel a little scared. This feeling made him surprised and suspicious, because he suddenly felt that the one standing in front of him was a killing god, with murderous aura and the roar of a sea of ​​blood and corpses...

For a moment, Sean was stunned. What happened to me? Why was I afraid of him? I am the deputy general of the South District. In terms of rank, I am one level higher than the town governor of Wuleglindo. Moreover, I brought 120 men with me today. I can't lose face in front of them. I can't be intimidated by Wuleglindo's momentum. God, what am I thinking?

Sean came back to his senses, and then he found that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat clearly. Sean knew without turning around that now everyone was focusing their attention on him, holding their breath, waiting...

These traitors, Sean was furious, and immediately pointed at Wu Lai, "What if you say it again? You demolished the wall of Salt Marsh Town, which is equivalent to opening the door to the entire town. If the bandits come in, do I need to remind you of the consequences?"

Wu Lai frowned slightly and raised his voice: "Sean, I was just saying, if you have the guts, say that slanderous thing about me again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Gulu's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he almost laughed. Wu Lai's words just now were obviously a trap for Sean - if Sean said it again, it would be tantamount to admitting that he had slandered Wu Lai. If he didn't say it, he wouldn't have to wear the hat of slander, and the reputation of a coward and loser would spread immediately, and maybe it would spread to the city of Lovington in three to five days.

"Okay! You want to hear it! I'll tell you!" Sean narrowed his eyes and said, "Wooleglindos, 'Are you in league with the bandits?'"

Wu Lai laughed, and as he laughed, he took a step forward and raised his knees.

Sean felt a flash before his eyes, and then a sharp pain in his crotch, the kind of pain that only men can feel. He subconsciously bent over and covered his crotch, when suddenly a strong force from the back of his head pushed him down. His eyes, which had just burst into tears, flashed again, and his forehead seemed to have hit a huge tree. After a dull thud, Sean's body shook and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Sean was knocked unconscious by Wu Lai's blink, and the soldiers who followed him immediately started to clamor. Those who were chosen by Sean to visit the Salt Marsh Town were basically Sean's confidants. They ran hundreds of miles to get food, drinks, fun and things to take. Of course, Sean had to take care of his own people.

The soldiers brought by Sean rushed towards Wu Lai with curses, and many of them even drew their swords. The militia of Saltmarsh Town did not dare to join in, but retreated in twos and threes, each of them wanting to retreat as far as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Henry was also retreating, his eyes full of fear as he looked at Wu Lai. It was not because Wu Lai had defeated Sean so cleanly, but because his most trusted confidant had just reported to him that Wu Lai had led his men to kill dozens of bandits.

"Really?" Henry was full of doubt.

The confidant nodded quickly and asked, "The bodies were hanging on the horse trail less than ten miles from the town. Didn't you see them?"

Henry shook his head. When they rested last night, he and Sean indulged themselves all night and slept soundly all the way. They were woken up by their men when the carriage stopped at the entrance of the town. They had never seen any corpse.

"Lieutenant General Henry, Lord Wu Lai is a tough guy..." The confidant had just said half of his words when Sean fell to the ground with a thump...

"How dare you hit General Sean?! Brothers, surround this guy!" The leading soldiers shouted and incited. They were all civilians and were not brave enough to beat up a noble official, but they always had to show their attitude.

"Wu Lai!" Guru frowned. Although he knew that these soldiers would not dare to act rashly, he was still a little worried. What if some young man got stupid and these hundreds of people swarmed over him and surrounded him, something might go wrong.

"Stop!" The one who shouted was Baker who had just arrived, but he was retreating while shouting because the scene was too scary.

Seeing these soldiers coming towards him in a roar, Wu Lai snorted angrily, reached into his arms, and when he withdrew, he had the tiger-tooth nameplate in his hand.

"Here is the tiger tooth nameplate! Who dares to move it?!" Wu Lai held up the nameplate high. Under the sunlight, the tiger teeth on the nameplate were shining ferociously.

"Tiger Tooth Nameplate!"

"It's really the Tiger Tooth nameplate!"

The soldiers started shouting again. Those in the front stepped back immediately, while those at the back, who could neither hear nor see clearly, continued to push forward. For a while, they bumped into each other and it was a mess. Some of them accidentally injured each other because their swords were too close. Although they only cut the skin and did not bleed, it undoubtedly exacerbated the chaos.

Seeing these soldiers swearing and pushing each other in a mess, with no one even helping Sean who had fallen to the ground, Wu Lai frowned and immediately had an idea.

"The Minutemen! Where are the Minutemen!" cried Woolley.

Guru was startled. Although he couldn't understand why Wu Lai suddenly called for the militia, he immediately followed suit and wished his voice could be louder.

The two shouted five or six times in a row before Henry squeezed into the crowd: "Lord Wu Lai, we are on the periphery and can't squeeze in."

"Then you go out and give the order!" Wu Laiyang waved his hand and shouted, "Surround all these mutinous soldiers! Take away their weapons!"

Mutiny?! Let the militia surround the regular army of the legion and take away their weapons?! Henry was stunned.

"Are you afraid?" Wu Lai frowned and looked at Henry with disdain in his eyes.

Henry was startled again, thinking how could he answer you when you asked him that? If I told you the truth, you would definitely laugh at me, and if I told you a lie, you would definitely say - so why don't you just do it? As he was hesitating, a white shadow flashed before Henry's eyes, followed by a crisp "snap", and then Henry's left cheek turned red and burned with pain.

Henry subconsciously reached out and touched it. Wow, there seemed to be a few swollen finger marks.

Henry was immediately furious and thought to himself, "How dare you, Wooleglindos, slap me in front of so many people. Are you treating me like a slave?"

"Wu..." Henry's eyes widened, and he thought to himself that he would have a good argument with you even if it cost him his life today. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he uttered a word, he found that Wu Lai's eyes were even wider than his.

"What are you waiting for? Lieutenant General Sean is being trampled by the mutinous soldiers! Do you want him to die in your jurisdiction?!" Wu Lai said angrily, raised his hand and slapped Henry again, "Go now!"

Henry was completely confused, but fortunately his confidant who had squeezed into the crowd with him was still sober. He quickly pulled him away and pushed him out of the crowd.

"General Henry, do it first." The confidant glanced at the fingerprints on Henry's face and said in a deep voice.

Not only did he knock Sean unconscious, he also slapped Henry twice. Guru felt that Wu Lai was venting his anger. However, the soldiers had already begun to retreat, and the shouting of the militia outside the circle gradually covered the noise of the legionnaires. He finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Wu Lai, I think you were a bit reckless today."

There was no hint of blame in Guru's words; he just wanted to let Wu Lai know what he thought. In fact, he also felt that Sean and Henry deserved to be beaten.

"Reckless? Well, you're almost right." Wu Lai shrugged and spread his hands, looking nonchalant. "But they forced me to do this. I don't really like using violence because I think everything can be solved through communication. Violence is totally unnecessary."

After hearing this, Guru covered his forehead helplessly. He really couldn't bear to look at Wu Lai's shamelessness.
