Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 90 The snipe and the clam fight
In White Bear Town.

With Raphael's appeasement and the title of the Duke's eldest son, the 500 guards of Shiraki City took off their armor and settled down.

But the stability was short-lived.

First of all, White Bear Town is just a medium-sized town. It’s okay in the short term, but over a long period of time, it simply cannot afford to support so many guards.

Secondly, most of the relatives and friends of these guards are in Baimu City. If the Duke's eldest son can speak out immediately, they may be able to maintain their enthusiasm for suppressing the rebellion.

If the Duke's eldest son acts like a dead man and does not show up for a long time, they will definitely become disloyal and will not be able to exert much strength even if they are sent to the battlefield.

All in all, White Bear Town cannot fight a protracted war.

Otherwise they had to fight quickly and take over Baimu City.

Otherwise, if we confiscate the equipment of these guards and let them go, we can save a lot of supplies.

Ron chose the former.

Including Silver City, there are only six large towns in the Thorn Territory. It is easy to imagine the influence of those who control one of them.

Only by allowing the Tiantu Mercenary Group to capture Baimu City can the situation in Thorn Territory become chaotic more quickly.

……

The dusk was like blood, staining the white wooden city.

At the Public Security Department, Sheriff Singh, who had been waiting for a whole day, finally received the battle report from White Bear Town.

300 guards from White Bear Town, 500 guards from White Wood City, and 50 cavalrymen, led by Raphael, attacked the Tiantu Mercenary Group.

Judging from the literal data, this is a battle that cannot be lost.

But many times, the outcome of a war cannot be judged from literal data. There are too many uncontrollable factors on the battlefield, and a slight carelessness may lead to counterattack.

A minute later, Singer frowned after listening to the news brought back by the scouts from White Bear Town.

He wasn't surprised that Raphael lost.

White Bear Town’s request for help was inherently suspicious.

But it was a little unbelievable that Raphael surrendered without a fight.

He knew Raphael's character, he was tough and unyielding and would rather die than surrender.

What did the Tiantu Mercenary Group say to Raphael that made him surrender without a fight?

Singh thought for a moment, puzzled.

He stood up and planned to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the matter with the City Lord.

However, not long after he walked out of the security office, his attention was attracted by the movement on the eaves of a house not far away.

The sky had darkened, but his keen senses still allowed him to catch a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by quickly.

Sensing his considerable strength, Singh restrained his aura and followed quietly.

I followed the shadow through several streets, and finally the shadow went into an abandoned clock tower.

As Singh approached, he moved slightly closer to the window and looked inside.

Besides the black shadow, there was another person in the bell tower.

The moonlight penetrated the broken carved window frame, revealing the face of the man under his cloak.

Singh's pupils shrank slightly.

That person turned out to be the new mayor of Baimu City.

"Lord Chesper, the Tiantu Mercenary Group has persuaded Raphael to submit to Lord Ian."

The shadow knelt on the ground and reported.

"You guys did a great job."

Chesper nodded with satisfaction.
"Please give the next instructions."

"Don't act rashly for now. I will report this to Master Ian and transfer the sheriff who supports the Duke's eldest son." Chesper said.

"Once I take control of Baimu City, Young Master Ian will be able to completely control Thorn Territory. By then, even if the Duke's eldest son escapes again, there will be no need to worry."

He smiled smugly.

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Don't worry, I'll take credit for your work when the time comes...Who's out there?"

Chesper was halfway through his words when he quickly walked to the window and looked out.

But no one was seen.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

After turning around and returning to the clock tower, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

……

At this time, in the city lord's mansion on the other side.

Chesper, who had just received the battle report from White Bear Town, smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and water stains and porcelain fragments splashed all over the study.

That good-for-nothing Raphael actually surrendered to the Skywalker Mercenary Group with his 500 Whitewood City guards. And without a fight at all!

"Go and get Singer!"

he roared.

These are all guards trained by that idiot Singh!
"Yes."

Konoe left the study.

About ten minutes later, Konoe returned to the study.

Chesper was about to start cursing, but Singer was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Excellency, I have not seen Lord Singh." The guard replied hesitantly.

"He's not at the Sheriff's Office?" Chesper frowned.

"When... I just happened to hear it when I was passing by..."

"What did you hear?"

"I heard Lord Singh say that he would have the Tiantu Mercenary Group attack tomorrow and take over Baimu City with the help of both inside and outside forces..." the guard said tremblingly.

"What! How dare he..."

Chesper's eyes widened in shock and anger.

Suddenly he understood a lot of things.

It turned out to be the case.

The Tiantu Mercenary Group and Singer are both supported by the Duke's eldest son. No wonder Raphael surrendered without a fight. It turns out that they had colluded with each other long ago.

These damn bastards!
We must not let them succeed.

Chesper immediately gave the order and summoned the guards.

To strike first, he must get rid of Singer before the Tomorrow Tiantu Mercenary Group arrives.

……

Public Security Department.

Singh sat in the office with a serious expression.

In his mind, he thought of the conversation between the city lord and the Tiantu Mercenary Group.

The city lord is the Duke's second son's man?
Silver City is controlled by the Duke's second son?
What about Master Leo?

Was he killed?
Singh's thoughts were a little confused.

If Master Leo has been killed, the Duke's second son's succession to the throne will be recognized by the royal family.

In this case, should he submit to the Duke's second son?

Just as he was worried, there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" he asked through the door.

"Lord Singh, the city lord suddenly summoned a large number of guards and rushed towards us." The guard outside the door replied.

At this time?
Singh was silent for two seconds, then stood up and walked out of the room. He asked the guard at the door to gather his confidants while he waited on the street in front of the Public Security Bureau.

Soon, the city lord Chesper came with hundreds of guards.

"Singer, you colluded with the Tiantu Mercenary Group and intended to rebel. Today, I will execute you, the traitor, on behalf of Master Leo!"

Chesper came up and immediately charged Singer with a crime.

When Singer heard Chesper turning the tables, his face suddenly darkened.

"A lackey of the Duke's second son, are you so eager to get rid of me?" He looked at Chesper coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chesper's angry expression froze slightly.

Singh saw his reaction and became more certain of his judgment.

"Guards of Whitewood City, this man is not the city lord appointed by the Duke's eldest son. The Duke's eldest son has been persecuted by the Duke's second son and is trapped in Silver City. This man was sent by the second son to deal with those of us who support the Duke's eldest son!"

Singh's voice was loud and clear, reaching the ears of everyone present.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, kill him!"

Chesper yelled.

Hundreds of guards rushed forward.

"Everyone, follow me to defend the Duke's eldest son's last barrier!"

Singh drew his sword.

Behind him were hundreds of guards who were also loyal to the Duke's eldest son and him.

The sparks from the clashing blades tore through the night, and the roar of magic and the roars of the guards resounded throughout Shiraki Castle.

Everyone in Baimu City focused their attention on this, but no one noticed that the city gate of Baimu City was opened at some point...
