Pearson Stanford is an elite detective with above average IQ.

He thought on his knees, he knew that if he just took Yang's words over like this, others would have to hold him as a hostage if they didn't turn their backs on the spot...

Considering his own life, the Stanford detectives hoped to have Major Kirk, the captain of the militia, to accompany him—the port guard belongs to the National Guard, and Major Kirk was the National Guard of Dutata City The commander of the port guard is more able to talk to the port guard.

Yang Qiu readily agreed, and asked the Stanford agent to use the walkie-talkie to call Major Kirk from the ship behind.

Ten minutes later, under the protection of Major Kirk, who was leading a team of militiamen, Stanford agents bit the bullet and took Yang's words to the port guard station.

In his early fifties, with a big beard, the captain of the Port Guard of Lars City and an officer of the Rhine National Guard, Philemon Donald, was stunned for a full 30 seconds.

"Talanla's undead, has entered Taqia Territory—?!" Captain Donald swallowed, and looked at Major Kirk in surprise.

The entry of the army without invitation can be regarded as an undeclared war.

They overthrew the regular army of two great aristocrats and one principality, and even went to the middle-earth battlefield to provoke the undead Tarantan of the Kenyan Empire army. The threat is even greater than that of the ordinary army-this thing sneaked in, you guys How dare you just say it so openly? ?

Major Kirk acquiesced in silence.

Captain Donald's eyes puffed up, and he took a deep breath.

"Please keep calm, respected captain." Agent Stanford had to rush out to put out the fire, "Our undead friends have no intention of starting a war, in fact, they are here to eliminate cults, I think you should know, last year There was an outbreak of the 'Eternal Sleeper' cultists in Adlerland—"

"Inspector, you should go down and say this to the lord." Captain Donald interrupted Stanford with a blunt tone, "Lars City is unable to entertain you, please leave your ship as soon as possible, otherwise we will Treat it as a foreign enemy invasion, and take reasonable measures to defend against the enemy."

Lars City is a small city with a population of only 10,000+, and the lord's mansion of Taqia Territory is not here.

Although the city is small and there are few people, it has a favorable location after all—the ships Adler brought were just ordinary inland shipping ships without artillery, and the port of Lars had forts built to resist water pirates.

The other party's attitude was so tough, Agent Stanford couldn't do anything, and looked at the major helplessly.

Major Kirk took a half step forward and said, "Captain, our ship has been docked for more than six hours. Has Your Excellency Lars given any instructions?"

"This is none of your business, Your Excellency Major." Captain Donald's tone was still very strong, "The Adler Command's garrison captain has no right to intervene in the city defense affairs of the Taqia Territory."

"Okay, Captain, let me put it another way." Major Kirk said calmly, "Your Excellency, Lord of Lars City, are you still in the city?"

Captain Donald with a tough attitude froze.

Detective Stanford's expression suddenly became subtle...

"If Lord Lars is not in the city, then who can approve the use of the port fort?" Major Kirk asked further, "If the captain activates the fort without authorization to attack the ships led by Adler, triggering hostility between the two sides and even starting a war, make The flames of war implicate the residents of the city, can the captain take full responsibility?"

"This, this is not something you have the right to ask, Your Excellency Major." Captain Donald was sweating on his forehead and his eyes wandered.

Major Kirk's expression remained unchanged, and his tone remained calm as if he was chatting with someone: "I don't intend to offend, but as a colleague of the National Guard, I just expressed a little concern."

After speaking, the major took a half step back and returned the right to speak to Agent Stanford who acted on Yang's behalf.

Agent Stanford stepped forward confidently.

"Respected Captain, I hope you can believe that we are here for the long-term peace of Taqia Land, Adler Land, and Innadri..."

After a difficult communication all morning, before noon, the Lars port guard finally let go.

When Yang Qiu got off the boat, without saying a word, he led people straight to the city hall of Lars City.

All the port guards who were dispatched and nervously ran to the pier to stare at the "outsider" were dumbfounded.

Wearing a conspicuous caster's robe, wearing a face that has been on the front page of newspapers countless times, and leading a large number of staff and clerks, the black magician Yang Feng walked out of the dock area in a hurry. A group of port guards wanted to stop him, but they didn't dare... …

"Is this what you mean by 'long-term peace'?" Captain Donald looked at Agent Stanford, who was acting as a lobbyist, with bloodshot eyes.

Agent Stanford silently raised his hand and patted the captain on the shoulder.

"On the bright side, man, your choice has indeed brought peace to Lars." Agent Stanford said earnestly.

Captain Donald: "..."

The captain felt bitter and could not speak.

As soon as the four large ships with skulls printed on them entered the port, the guards on duty at the port sent the news to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord of Lars City also reacted very quickly—he immediately packed up his belongings, brought his family's private soldiers and the garrison outside the city, and left the city quickly before dawn, fleeing north.

When the Port Guard bit the bullet and negotiated with the Stanford agents, the nobles in the city who could escape were also fleeing in batches...

The only good news is that because of the skeleton ship blocking the port, those who escaped could only take a carriage and could not take too many people away. Otherwise, the inner city of Lars City would have to be more than half empty.

It is impossible for the port guards to stop the wolf-like undead army, and Captain Donald himself knows this very well.

He tried his best to waste his saliva with Stanford, but he just hoped that the Adler fleet would not waste time in Lars City and go directly to the northern capital—most of the troops of the Taqia Army were concentrated in the capital. If the lord is lucky enough to repel the enemy army, Tachia will be considered as the leader of this level.

I just didn't expect that the other party was not in a hurry at all, and they had to take Lars City first if they said anything-the undead of Tarantan had already entered the country quietly, and the army (militia) had been pulled to the city. letter!

Sure enough, Nightmare Butcher, the mastermind behind the undead army, was on the boat, and he went straight to the city before getting off the boat...Who would believe this man who said he didn't come to grab the territory!

By the time the militiamen got off the ship, led by Major Kirk, they were blatantly lining up on the pier to put on their armor and prepare to enter the city. Captain Donald was already numb.

Major Kirk organized the militia, but he was not in a hurry to lead the troops into the city. Instead, he strode towards Captain Donald who was guarding the entrance and exit of the pier.

"Captain, we need to go to the mountains around Baboba Town to pick up the civilians rescued by the undead. Can we arrange for soldiers who are familiar with the local environment to lead the way?" Major Kirk said politely.

Captain Donald hesitated for a moment before responding: "...huh?"

"I mean, we need a guide who is familiar with the surroundings of Baboba Town." Major Kirk repeated calmly, "The undead of Tarantan wiped out a cult that was entrenched in the nearby mountains and rescued many civilians. We Need to take over and resettle the civilians so that the undead are free to catch the cultists who slip through."

Captain Donald fell into a state of sluggishness again.

Just... you guys are using a cult as a cover? ?

Captain Donald, who thought he had seen through the tricks of these guys, but found that he still hadn't, numbly called out two soldiers from the port guard who were born in Baboba Town, and handed them to Major Kirk.

Major Kirk politely thanked the port guards for their cooperation, mobilized a hundred militiamen, picked up a large box that was unloaded from the ship, and left with the guide.

When the militiaman carrying the box passed by, Captain Donald instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, as if there was something uncomfortable inside.

"What's that?" Donald frowned.

"Zombies from the Undead Chamber of Commerce." Agent Stanford, who stayed on the dock and was in charge of negotiating with the port guards, said.

Captain Donald: "??"

"Don't worry, those are the compatriots of the undead of Tarantan." Agent Stanford knew that most people would find it difficult to adapt to the appearance of zombies in human settlements, so he explained kindly, "Those zombies only deal with the undead of Tarantan, and they don't Show your face to strangers."

Captain Donald: "..."

"Of course, if you encounter a sudden danger, if you can find the hidden stronghold of the Undead Chamber of Commerce, it is also a good choice to seek help from the Tarantan zombies." Agent Stanford continued, "These zombies can understand the common language. , will use the unique contact method of undead creatures to find Tarantan undead to solve problems for those who seek help, and only need to pay a slightly lower salary than mercenaries."

Captain Donald: "..."

Major Kirk divided the remaining militia into several teams and personally led the troops into the city to patrol to ensure that the order in the city would not be affected by the change of regime.

When these militiamen entered the city to take over the law and order, the Stanford detectives kindly invited Captain Donald to enter the city and go to the city hall to register the personnel establishment of the Port Guard.

Captain Donald struggled for a while, but honestly...accepted the invitation.

There is no way, the Port Guard is part of the National Guard, promotion depends on the transfer order of the royal capital, and the salary depends on the local governor.

The city lords of Lars have all run away, and the city hall has been taken over by others. If the hundreds of port guards under his command do not want to run out of food, this waist should be bent...

Detective Stanford, who had experienced such a thing himself, was still comforting the captain of the guard on the way: "It will take about a week for the civil servants who take over the city hall to sort out Lars's government affairs, and it will not affect next month's salary. release."

"The undead consul is not on board, but don't worry, the undead don't need to take the boat slowly like us. If there is no accident, they should be able to take office within a few days. Although Ms. Zhao will not come to Takia, but I heard They said they would send an undead wise man with rich experience in governing..."

Captain Donald: "..."

He really couldn't understand Stanford's tone of "everything is safe with the undead consul".

Lars City, which is only a quarter of the size of Du Tata City, only takes 10 minutes to walk from the port area to the city hall in the inner city.

The City Hall of Lars City is also quite "miniature" compared to the City Hall of Du Tata City... The headquarters of the Night Watchman in Moses Port is a bit more spacious than this place.

When Agent Stanford and Captain Donald approached on foot, the city hall of Lars City had been completely taken over by the Adlers; elite officers and clerks in uniform were quickly gathering the city lord and officials before they fled and destroyed or took them away file archives.

Under the guidance of Agent Stanford, Captain Donald first registered himself, and then received a register that belonged exclusively to the Port Guard, and told him to include himself in the guard, and the secretary's office would review it later.

After leaving the Office of the Secretary Department, Agent Stanford reminded Captain Donald thoughtfully: "It is best to include the facts when registering the roster. The people in the Secretary Department will conduct spot checks from time to time. When the city hall clarifies the local government affairs situation, it will readjust the various departments. It may be reorganized into the Department of Justice by reorganizing the Port Guard into the Department of Justice."

Captain Donald was pleasantly surprised and confused.

The national garrison has stamped the seal of the royal family, and the treatment in various places is often lower than that of the "direct descendant" of the actual local ruler.

The Adler garrison that Major Kirk once commanded received much lower treatment than the Ezekiel family's corps.

Readjusting the establishment and being accepted as a "direct line" means that the treatment is on par with other departments, which is definitely a good thing for the port guards.

But it also means that the port guard surrendered to the enemy unconditionally without doing anything to resist-this is really complicated!

"...Your Excellency, the city lord, ran away with the army, and the mayor, the sheriff, and the consul also ran away. What else can we do?" After struggling for a while, Captain Donald could only comfort himself in this way.

The only remaining leader of the armed forces in Lars City was silently mediating on his own, and the walkie-talkie carried by the Stanford agent rang.

On the other end of the intercom, Captain Mace's voice came: "Detective, please ask the captain of the guard to talk to me."

Captain Donald, who had seen Agent Stanford use this novelty to talk to people several times, took the walkie-talkie curiously, and just as he awkwardly reported his name, Captain Mace’s anxious voice came over the walkie-talkie: "The guard Your Excellency Captain, what happened in Lars City, why is there no night watchman in the city?!"
