THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 234: THE RAT TRYING TO ESCAPE?
It is not only the home of the mayor of Rumerk City that has been subjected to large-scale arrests and searches, the homes of most officials as well as other wealthy merchants believed to be cooperating on criminal acts have been arrested.
The purpose of the search was to retrieve the evidence, Myro could not kill someone carelessly.
Although Myro killed them though, Myro would not get into any trouble because they were wrong and Myro's status as their superior allowed Myro to punish them even to death.
But Myro planned to throw them to court and imprison them, all the actions they did must be enough to get them sentenced to prison for a very long time, at least 20 years because Podocheong and the Praetorian Guard must have found evidence of their crimes.
Moreover, Myro was not interested in being considered like the 7th prince, a cold-blooded and ruthless leader.
Although Myro's loyal followers certainly did not consider it that way, but when he killed hundreds of officials, mayors and merchants along with their families who committed crimes then many residents certainly consider Myro as a bloody leader.
Therefore, let them be settled through the law. Not to mention that King Azeroth V attaches great importance to the existence of a just law throughout the kingdom, Myro's actions using a court of law certainly contain King Azeroth V increasingly supporting Myro.
Now Myro is in Loth City with Ren, Feld, Lopen and Chi Sang Li.
Dozens of birds continue to fly towards Loth City today, they have prepared a rat capture plan for 1 full week, now is the time to see the results.
Lopen, Feld and Chi Sang Li who opened the letters from the birds continued to report successful arrests in various areas.
Hearing all the reports that there had not been the slightest failure, Myro smiled. Apparently they succeeded, all the rats were captured using 1 move.
Lopen took the last letter and read it, but while reading halfway through, Lopen's face turned as white as paper.
Everyone was aware of Lopen's change in face, so Myro said "Lopen, what's wrong? Has anyone managed to escape? You don't have to panic until then, we can deploy the troops we've deployed to stand by to catch the rats that managed to escape".
Lopen took a breath before kneeling before Myro "Master, sorry for Lopen's failure, I'm ready to accept any punishment for any stupid mistake I made!".
Myro's face became cautious, Lopen up like this which showed how difficult the problem had been "Why? Explain the circumstances to me?".
"Report to sir, there's a mayor who managed to escape! Based on the reports I received, he escaped through the help of a law enforcement force I recruited! Moreover through the traces that the Praetorian Guard found in the traitor's room, it is most likely that he was the 7th accomplice of the prince in our territory. The mayor he helped escape was most likely also a follower of the 7th prince, he brought all the treasures they had!", Lopen shouted "All the law enforcement forces who are on duty this time already know the deployment of the troops we are doing!".
"So most likely they know the troops we let on standby to catch the fleeing rats! All of this is my fault to the point of letting a rat escape, Lopen is ready to accept any punishment!".
"Well, thank you for your kindness!", said Lopen very grateful, however he had made a very fatal mistake, the 5-month salary penalty was still very light which made Lopen thank you for the opportunity that Myro gave "Master, let Lopen chase after the rat who tried to escape! I must have caught it for the master before they met the 7th prince again to make up for the mistake I made".
Myro waved his hand "No need, from the start I thought of the possibility like this would happen. However you tried to build a law enforcement force alone from the start, it was not strange that some of the recruits were spies. Therefore, in addition to the troops on standby, I actually prepared another army to move if there were rats that managed to escape. The existence of this secret army, I did not tell you or the Li so that the news would not fall into the hands of enemy spies".
Lopen asked curiously "Decisive forces? Who's who?".
"Isn't it clear? The secret troop I sent was-" Myro told Lopen.
...----------------...
Near the border of Victory Province, dozens of luxurious horse carriages escorted by hundreds of soldiers were moving away from Victory Province.
If one knew what was in each horse-drawn carriage, they would be surprised because most of it was gold coins or jewels and gems.
Except in the front carriage which was the carriage of the owner of all these treasures with his family, the other carriage was filled with treasures.
The man in the front carriage was a man in noble clothes with short black hair, he opened the window on the horse carriage and stared at a soldier in front of the window "Thank you for your help, if you don't tell me about the massive capture of the Victory Count, I'll end up just like the other mayors".
The soldier shook his head "No need to thank me, I just did the task that master gave me. From the very beginning I served as a law enforcement officer in Victory Province to protect you, however you were the master's secret hand in order to take away much of the wealth from Victory Province".
"But to my surprise, you actually managed to disguise yourself as a member of the Victory Province law enforcement force. Moreover according to the information I have, all the generals under the Victory Count have very skilled abilities be it fighting or seeing the disguise of the enemy" said the man on the carriage.
"I was almost known several times by the head of the law enforcement forces, fortunately I was a small soldier who made us rarely meet. If we were to meet more often, my disguise's whereabouts must be known-", the soldier did not finish his words but rather his face turned into panic.
The soldier jumped off his horse without hesitation and hid behind the carriage.
Simultaneously with his hiding self, thousands of arrows appeared above the sky instantly knocking out half of the enemy troops.
However, the arrow attack appeared too suddenly so that the enemy troops did not have the slightest chance of defending from the arrow attack.
