Chapter 70 Damned Beastmen
The sound of chaotic hubbub and footsteps rapidly approached. Lieutenant Colonel Walter and Baron Mirro hastily stood up. Those Dunerk leading figures also moved aside one by one while the family bodyguards behind them held their weapons firmly as they formed a tight defensive formation in front of their masters.
The door was pushed open. Outside was a big group of people who were shouting very loudly in high spirits; there were official soldiers of the defensive army, Dragon Cavalry and Copper Hats, also Dunerk militiamen with black uniforms and iron helmets. They were escorting ten sturdy militiamen with tattered clothings whose bodies were filled with wounds and blood while filling the doorway with loud clamor.
The ten sturdy militiamen with bloodstain all over their bodies clearly just experienced a big battle. They were impressively Black Tiger Family’s hired thugs who Lin Qi called over a moment ago. When these faithful subordinates of Black Tiger Family wore night clothes, they became robbers; when they wore militiamen uniforms, they became guardian heroes; the people were the same, yet their identities constantly changed along with their clothings.
They truly were Dunerk militiamen, after all Black Tiger Family was an aristocratic family in Dunerk whose hidden power was the most formidable; they played an active role in the establishment of militia troops.
Take for example, every year Black Tiger Family would donated a huge amount of gold coins to the city hall for their expenditures, Black Tiger Family also purchased large quantities of cloth for Dunerk militiamen to make into uniforms, even their armors, swords, and bows and arrows were goods which shipping was controlled by Black Tiger Family.
Logically, from the 50 thousand-men militia troops in Dunerk, the commanders of 25 of them were Black Tiger Family’s die-hard core members, furthermore among Dunerk militiamen, there were over twenty thousand who directly answered to Black Tiger Family.
After all, the majority of Dunerk militiamen were selected from valiant sailors, dock porters, and waiters from lower class shops. The majority of these people made a living the Black Tiger Family’s territory so they naturally listen to Blackbeard’s commands.
The core strength of Black Tiger Family stood in front of the door while panting and respectfully bowed towards Lieutenant Colonel Walter and Baron Mirro.
Standing in front of them was the tall Tie Chui who was wearing a special militia uniform. His body was nearly covered by a layer of blood. Dozens of light-green heads with sinister appearances were hanging from his belt. Each of his hands was also carrying dozens of ugly heads tied together with long hair.
Tie Chui was gasping for breath as he saluted the two leading figures of Dunerk military and government and said, “Sir Mayor, Sir Lieutenant Colonel, we overtook this group of damned things and got rid of them!”
Once Tie Chui relaxed his hand, over twenty heads rolled onto the ground. The heads were sinister and ugly. They had a 30 percent resemblance with a human appearance, but the rest still maintain the characteristic of a beast. They had pointed ears that protruded nearly 17 centimeters. Their mouths were filled with sharp white teeth. Their dim-green eyes made those who looked at them palpitate. Under the flame’s illumination, their dead pupils shone with faint red light.
“Werewolves!” Lieutenant Colonel Walter firmly gritted his teeth.
“Damn them!” Baron Mirro subconsciously retreated several steps. He was a civillian court official while Lieutenant Colonel Walter was a military leader so in the face of the bloody, sinister, and ugly heads, naturally it was Lieutenant Colonel Walter, the military leader, who stepped forward.
Lin Qi walked to the side of the door with Blackbeard’s support. He said through gritted teeth, “Lieutenant Colonel, it was precisely these damned beastmen. After Maritime Unicorn used the whale-hunting prong to get rid of the Heaven Knight, they were so frightened they fled everywhere. I and Enzo chased after them and fought with them all the way. In the end when we almost couldn’t take it any longer, these valiant militiamen rushed over and saved us!”
Baron Mirro widened his eyes in astonishment. “Lin Qi, you and Enzo chased after them! Over one hundred beastmen, you chased after them!”
Gasps of admiration sounded all around. Everyone whispered praises to one another for Lin Qi and Enzo’s heroism.
Lin Qi’s face blushed. He tightly grabbed Blackbeard’s hand and said through gritted teeth, “My father taught me since I was young, we have to devote everything for the empire and its people! That damned Heaven Knight was dead, but these savage beastmen, we absolutely cannot let them charge into downtown and harm the commoners.”
Enzo said in a heavy tone, “That’s right, respectable Sir Mayor, respectable Lieutenant Colonel, we were clearly aware that we aren’t a match for them, but we had to chase after them because we had to keep an eye on them and not let them leave our line of sight. We had to buy some time for reinforcements to arrive. Before reinforcements arrived, we couldn’t let them escape, we had to know where they ran to, this way they can be catched in one swoop!”
Lieutenant Colonel Walter resolutely waved his hand. He shouted in a deep voice, “Valiant young men, this is what an Imperial Army Academy student should do! I will request the military department to award you with medals of honor, you are a pair of wonderful youngsters!”
Baron Mirro looked at Lin Qi and Enzo with incomparable praise. He said in a deep voice, “Bring us to see those damned beastmen, to see what they did.”
With the support of numerous passionate people, escorted by everyone, and under the protection of a big group of soldiers, Lin Qi and Enzo slowly walked to the small dark alley that was filled with the smell of blood.
There was blood everywhere on the alley, the walls were filled with traces of swords and axes, while a huge amount of corpses littered the ground. Distorted, sinister, terrifying beastmen corpses!
Over one hundred corpses of beastmen spread from the entrance of the alley for several hundred meters, with one beastman almost every five to six steps. Next to the beastmen, there occasionally would be several gold and silver coins spilled on the ground; they were obviously the spoils the obtained from somewhere after the rebellion. What was even more wonderful was that the gold coins weren’t merely Gaul Empire’s currency, but also included currencies of dozens of other countries on the continent.
Particularly, what made everyone’s expression change was that inside the pocket of a particularly tall corpse were dozens denominations varying from ten to thirty thousand. They were similarly golden notes written by well-known bankers from various countries on the continent. The total sum of money was over three hundred thousand gold coins!
From the huge amount of money acquired from Ya and Ling, Blackbeard didn’t mind using three hundred thousand gold coins to resolutely frame the beastmen.
Lieutenant Colonel Walter roared in anger, “These damned beastmen, they definitely didn’t commit crimes only in Dunerk, they should have committed similar crimes in other places! Heavens, so much cash, so many golden notes, How many pitiful people had they harmed?”
Baron Mirro said to Blackbeard with exceptional seriousness, “Mister Tiger, you have a good son, you should be proud of him! I think you are the most suitable candidate to be Mayor of Dunerk!”
Blackbeard humbly lowered his head. Lin Qi and Enzo similarly lowered their heads with modesty.
Everyone crazily cursed the damned beastmen while simultaneously expressed enthusiastic support for Blackbeard.
