Chapter 111 They are all acquaintances
The lives of "Flying Knife" Gore and "Father" John Peake are not so bad.
The army has announced a reward for the crime, dead or alive.
But of the other two gang thugs, one looked to be in critical condition, and the other was seriously injured and disabled.
Even though they were the first to use bows and crossbows to shoot, Ina was acting in self-defense.
Even if their resumes were sufficient to sentence them to death after investigation.
Now Ina still has to go back to the military camp with them to wait for the decision of the city court.
Even Flynn, one of the patrol captains, was powerless to change this.
Their soldiers are the maintainers of the city's order and need to give a legal explanation to the civilians present.
"Well, Miss Wester has been to the barracks."
Yake responded quickly without thinking.
"Have you been to the military camp?"
Flynn frowned.
Military bases are not urban areas that citizens can enter whenever they want.
As far as he knew, there were usually only two types of people who could enter without being soldiers.
One type is famous businessmen and aristocrats whose social status brings privileges.
The other type is the relatives of non-commissioned officers.
Like the residences of nobles and wealthy people in the core area, military camps are also places that need to be kept secret.
However, the former is more related to the private lives of nobles and wealthy people, and to prevent theft and other behaviors.
The latter is for safety.
If the white-haired girl was a noble or wealthy person, Flynn wouldn't take it to heart.
They can easily use many channels to get the girl acquitted or released on bail.
For example, hire emerging professions that are only available in big cities: defense lawyers, find excellent detectives, and bounty hunters to find evidence to sentence gang thugs to death.
Afterwards, even if they put pressure on the defenders, it would not reach him.
If it is a relative of a non-commissioned officer, things will be very troublesome.
As far as he knew, there were only two non-commissioned officers of half-elf descent in the city legion.
One is the deputy commander of the city wall garrison, and the other is even more important...
William Silver Drow, deputy commander of the army.
"Whose relative is she?"
Flynn was silent for a moment, then asked.
He planned to find out the truth before arresting them. At least this way he could communicate with the two of them when he returned to the barracks.
So as not to make things awkward, we can do it within the limits of our authority.
This Miss Wester will probably be able to avoid going to court.
Besides, the girl's behavior was more like an official bounty hunting target and excessive self-defense than a crime...
As long as the evidence is complete, she will most likely only have to pay a certain amount of compensation according to the laws of the kingdom.
"Brother Gesk said that was Mr. Lake. By the way, he also chatted with Commander Naiheil at that time."
"Rake? Instructor Rick?!"
Flynn's expression suddenly became very interesting.
Even his voice was raised several notches, causing several soldiers behind him to turn their heads and look at their captain.
The swordsman with unfathomable strength also enjoyed an extraordinary reputation in the military camp.
Every once in a while, he would come to the military camp to teach new recruits and soldiers swordsmanship.
Teach and correct their respective methods of fighting and resting exercises.
No compensation at all.
Lake's guidance is always brilliant and direct.
It is almost as good as the curriculum training of the Kingdom’s First Army Academy.
In the past seven years, the number of soldiers in Leishi City who became professional level warriors has almost tripled.
Most of this was undoubtedly due to Rick's efforts.
Even a few days ago, the soldiers defending the city were able to cooperate with the Kingdom Knights to complete the suppression of the southern area with few casualties.
Indirect factors also play a role in this.
Flynn’s awakening of combat power was inseparable from Rick’s help, so Rick was half his instructor.
The defenders of Lei Shi City owed him dozens, or even more, of their soldiers' lives.
Both publicly and privately, he did not want to, and could not, confront Rick in court over two vicious thugs.
As for what Yak said, Rick was chatting with Naiheil.
Flynn had no doubt about it. All the veterans in the camp knew that Instructor Rick, Corps Commander Nahale, and Deputy Corps Commander William had a good personal relationship.
"Goddess, from now on, I will go to your church to pray more often before I go on a mission."
Flynn muttered under his breath.
Decided not to get involved in this mess.
Anyway, the two legion commanders will definitely do their best to protect the girl, so I just need to find someone to write a detailed report.
The army will then issue a notice that will convince civilians.
Ah!
They have turned a blind eye to many of the human trafficking, homicides and missing persons cases in the slums and other unsolved cases.
The Blood Gang, other gangs can buy their lives with money and be protected.
Can’t the defenders show leniency to the benefactor’s relatives?
Are the lives of a few bastards more valuable than the lives of dozens or hundreds of soldiers guarding the city? Pah!
"For Mr. Lake's sake, you don't need to cooperate with us. What's your name?"
"Ina West."
Ina exhaled. When the soldier called her, she subconsciously prepared to bribe him...
Or go to the barracks and seek William's private help.
She thought that dealing with John Peake would be an accident and would violate the law.
But she couldn't give up.
She couldn't give up. This might be her last chance to deal with the other party with her own hands.
"However, this leading soldier actually knows me, and he seems quite surprised and respectful. Could it be that I know a high-ranking NCO in the army?"
"What a wide network of connections! No, Uncle Shu Xi was also introduced to me by my uncle. He is also the president and a noble..."
Ina felt that since she embarked on the path of an adventurer, she had a deeper and more three-dimensional understanding of everything around her.
He also increasingly felt the power of the cheap Rick who took care of him.
After briefly listening to the two soldiers' reports, Flynn sheathed his sword.
He handed Ina a patrol soldier's badge and his expression softened:
"We will send the bounty of "Flying Knife" Gore and "Father" John Peake directly to the guild. It will take about a day to apply for confirmation. You can use this to prove your identity."
"Originally, they were going to deduct 20% as compensation for the disabled thug and the other family member, which is about fifty gold coins."
"But...how about this, you can take that magical weapon."
"Let us take care of the rest of Gore and John Peake's belongings. In return, you don't have to pay the compensation. How about that?"
Is this what they call taking it back into the kingdom's possession?
Ina had this offensive thought in her mind, and immediately said:
"can."
Anyway, she had no idea how much the things on the two people were worth, and she had no means to sell them.
These are all the belongings of the two Blood Gang leaders.
Formal channels can easily bring disaster to purchasing merchants.
"Very good. I like sensible little guys. They are completely different from this brat."
Flynn laughed heartily.
He hugged Yak beside him and punched him twice on the uninjured part of his chest.
Fortunately, Yak is tall and strong, and is a high-ranking professional, otherwise even an adult would have to take a few breaths.
