Wang Xiaohai knew that he was surrounded without going out.
"Everyone inside the house, listen to me. You have been surrounded by us. Please raise your hands, cover your head and walk out the door. Otherwise, we will use violence to break down the door, and we may use uncivilized methods to enter the house." A person shouted with a loudspeaker.
"There's no one inside, look somewhere else." Wang Xiaohai shouted from inside the house.
"Do you think we're idiots?" Blackheart Billy shouted from outside the house. "Why are you making noise when no one's around?"
"I am a tape recorder." Wang Xiaohai said.
"What chicken? I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, we'll count to three. If you don't come out, we'll rush in!"
Wang Xiaohai found it interesting and quickly set up some decorations in the house.
"It's time to count to three." Wang Xiaohai said.
"Everyone charge!" Blackheart Billy said outside, but he himself did not rush in. The soldiers of the Bestan Border Guard who came with him rushed into the house where Wang Xiaohai was with long spears. The spears were ancient muskets with a long line of fire at the back. Before shooting, they needed to ignite and then aim.
In this era, even flintlock rifles were not fully popularized. But think about it, the warriors are so powerful, guns are used to deal with ordinary people, and ignition guns can also kill ordinary people. There is no need to research more advanced weapons. No matter how advanced the bullets are, they cannot threaten the knights.
Just as the captain of the border guard team pushed open the door, a bent bamboo behind the door suddenly straightened with a snap, and the rebound force hit him in the face, knocking him unconscious. Then a beech board on the door fell down and hit him on the head with a thud, knocking him unconscious instantly.
A soldier who was rushing from behind paused when he saw this. An oak headboard that was hanging from a beam and was swaying on it happened to swing over and hit him in the chest, knocking him back. He fell into a ball with several border guards behind him. Everyone was in a panic for a while.
At this moment, Wang Xiaohai was taking out a roasted leg of lamb from his ring, tearing off a piece of meat to eat while watching these people make fun of him. He was also holding a cup of tea in his left hand to moisten his throat.
The captain of the border guards scrambled to his feet, took out a pack of matches from his pocket, struck a match to light the fuse of the musket, and then aimed at Wang Xiaohai's head: "You forced me to do this!"
The fuse was emitting flames and thick smoke with a "hissing" sound, and was about to burn the gunpowder of the musket... Wang Xiaohai flicked some tea off the surface of the teapot, and the tea flew out quickly, pouring accurately on the burning part of the fuse, extinguishing it immediately.
"You!" The captain of the border guards struck another match, but he didn't expect that the fuse above could no longer be lit after being wetted.
"This is the weakness of ancient guns. You're useless when it rains," Wang Xiaohai said. "Where are you from? Why are you following Blackheart Billy to capture me?"
"Border Guards, I heard you were going to rebel, so I came here."
"Oh, it turns out he is a brainless guy who arrested people based on one-sided testimony." Wang Xiaohai said.
"I'm not stupid!" The captain of the border guards handed his rifle to the team member behind him, then snatched the rifle from the team member's hand. "You are rude and arrogant. You are obviously not a good person!"
"Oh, you're not stupid, you just accepted the dirty money from Black-Hearted Billy." Wang Xiaohai understood. "Now that you're here, are you ready to accept the lesson I'm going to teach you?"
"What lesson?" The captain of the border guards had just finished speaking when he saw Wang Xiaohai take out the Sword of True Awareness, "This... this is the light of a knight's sword!" Although he didn't know what level of knight Wang Xiaohai was, he knew that the knight's sword had a special light. The major general of their border army had a glowing sword, but the color of the sword's light was different from Wang Xiaohai's.
"You're quite discerning even for an ordinary soldier," Wang Xiaohai said. "Should I chop off your left foot or your right? Choose one."
"Sir, spare my life!" The captain of the border guards slumped to his knees. "Blackheart Billy deceived me. He said you were just an ordinary person, powerless and could be arrested at will."
Wang Xiaohai didn't say anything, but just turned the sword in his hand around like a pen.
Sweat streamed down the captain's forehead. "Please give me a chance, I'll give you an explanation!" He shouted to the guards in the back, "Quickly capture Blackheart Billy and shoot him to death. This guy has the nickname Blackheart, so he must be no good. I don't know how many people he has betrayed. He deserves to die!"
The border guards didn't have to spend much effort to deal with Blackheart Billy, an ordinary person. Thirty seconds later, Wang Xiaohai heard three gunshots outside the house. He put the unfinished roasted leg of lamb into the ring.
"Take me to see the highest leader of your army." Wang Xiaohai walked up to the border guard captain and ordered in an unquestionable tone.
"The highest leader of our border guards is Marquis Idan, the Major General of Bestan. I'm not very clear about other legions." In fact, the captain of the border guards also knew the information of the leaders of other legions, but he didn't dare to say it. If he told it, not only his life would be lost, but that of the entire family!
"Where is he?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Major General Itami is in the mansion in the center of this city, in the tallest and largest room!" The captain of the border guards spoke the truth. After all, this was not a secret, and almost everyone in the city knew about it.
"Let's go together." If Wang Xiaohai went alone, he might have to fight again and explain himself, which would be very troublesome. Taking this team with him would save him a lot of trouble.
"Please... may I ask what you want from Major General Itami? I can tell him for him." The captain of the border guards was afraid that Wang Xiaohai was an assassin or something like that. If he brought him along, it would not only harm himself but also the entire family.
"That's fine. Let's work together on one thing." Wang Xiaohai said, "It's a win-win situation. It's also beneficial for you if you take me there. If you don't take me there, I'll go there myself and tell him that you asked me to kill him. Then I'll chop off his hand and let him go. Guess how he'll retaliate against you?"
The captain of the border guards felt a tightness in his heart. He knew without thinking that the outcome would be extremely tragic, so he had no choice but to agree to Wang Xiaohai's request.
A few minutes later.
The group headed towards the Marquis of Itami's residence in the city center.
Wang Xiaohai pondered on the way, "Daily must know someone in Bestan, otherwise she wouldn't have to travel so far. Besides, her father used her as a tool for a marriage alliance, and the target of the marriage was also Bestan. So, there must be a big shot in this country who has connections to Lorraine. Otherwise, there are thousands of countries on the mainland, so why single out Bestan?"
"We're here." The captain of the border guards stood in front of a castle. The castle covered a vast area, with tall towers standing in rows and windows reflecting the sunlight. There were several patrol teams patrolling back and forth in the castle, making it look even more majestic and solemn.
"This Marquis Idan thinks of himself as a little king! He makes a marquisate look like a palace." Wang Xiaohai sighed.
