Bankin stood in front of the window. The twilight left a thick shadow on his face, just like his depressed mood at this moment.
From here, he could see the direction of the barracks. On the drill ground of the camp, Bankin saw a domineering figure nailed into the barracks like a nail. There were many people lying at her feet, making that figure even more dazzling.
That woman had arrived at the barracks not long ago and brought out the name of that lord. No one dared to stop her. As a result, as soon as she arrived at the barracks, she threatened to challenge all the people who could be called. At first, no one was willing to accept the challenge, but in the end, this woman pulled out the sword on her back and wanted to cut off the camp flag. Under her provocation, a squad leader finally stood up. Now, there were already five squad leaders and three squadron leaders lying at her feet.
During the entire process, the woman\'s sword was stabbed into the ground. No one saw her swing her sword, but the strong men in the barracks had fallen to the cold ground. As long as the sword was still stuck there, the men in the barracks would not be able to raise their heads.
Bankin snorted and shouted, "Has Lord Wyft not replied yet?"
Behind him, his clerk said with a bitter expression, "Not yet, my lord."
Bankin sighed. When he became the Governor of Security, he had never thought that he would be involved in such a thing. In Duruf\'s time, Bankin was just a small sheriff. At that time, there were only a dozen or so people in his hands. Until Duruf died in battle, the small army of Fenrir City was not organized and ended up dying in name only. Later on, the remaining soldiers were scattered into the city guards, under the command of Jeff, the former captain of the city guards.
After Oz took office, Wyft found Bankin and promised to help Bankin to a prominent position. The price was that Bankin had to obey and support him unconditionally. For Bankin, who was living in poverty at that time, this was a profitable deal, so he immediately agreed. As expected, Wyft kept his promise. Within two months, Jeff mysteriously disappeared, and the city guards and security system were reorganized. Bankin jumped from a small sheriff to a security governor, in charge of the security team and the city defense force. He could be said to be a person with great power.
The organization of the City Defense Force was also changed. Previously, there was only a general position of City Defense Captain. Now, it was divided into teams of 10 and platoons of 100. The previous City Defense Captain was renamed to City Defense Chief. The Commandant is in charge of the Guard and is responsible to the Governor of the Peace. Fenrir City no longer had a legion, so the only armed force was in the hands of Bankin, or rather, Wyft.
Originally, with the size of Fenrir City, it was impossible to have the title of governor. Therefore, Bankin, the governor, was still mostly empty, and there had been a lot of empty positions like this in the past six months. Those who were supported to these positions were basically Wyft's system. Wyft's goal was obvious. He wanted these people's vanity to expand, and he kept promising a bright future so that Bankin and the others could work for him.
In fact, Bankin did the same. He could no longer leave Wyft. But now, he didn't get any response to Wyft's request for instructions. The most deadly thing was that the woman carrying the flag of Allen had already knocked down quite a few people in the city guards. If Bankin couldn't come up with a countermeasure, his image in the hearts of the soldiers would definitely plummet.
At this moment, the clerk reminded, "Sir, you have to prepare."
Bankin naturally knew what to prepare. In front of the desk in his office, an invitation letter from the City Lord's Mansion was placed in the middle of the desk. Bankin rubbed his forehead with a headache. Someone coughed softly and said, "Lord Bankin, let me go."
The one who spoke was the city defense chief. This man was personally arranged by Wyft. A Level 15 expert was nominally a subordinate of Bankin, but in reality, Bankin knew that his true loyalty was only to Wyft. Placing this man in the position of city defense chief was nothing more than to weaken Bankin's power and prevent him from becoming arrogant with his power. Bankin sighed, "How confident are you?"
"Half?" Obviously, the city defense chief didn't have much confidence. He had seen the entire process of that woman beating up the captains of her subordinates. The chief asked himself that even if he made a move, he wouldn't be able to do it so casually. But at this time, Wyft didn't say anything, but he had to stand up. Otherwise, if the flag were to be cut down by that woman, not to mention Bankin's face, Wyft would also be ashamed.
Bankin exhaled and waved his hand, "Then you go."
After the chief left, the governor snorted, "Prepare a carriage for me."
A moment later, a carriage drove out of the Security Department and headed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Bankin was sitting in the carriage when he suddenly heard a low, melancholy cry coming from the direction of the barracks in the distance. His heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but hold the edge of the window and look back, but he could only see the setting sun shining blood.
The carriage gradually moved away.
The barracks was completely silent.
The sword was still stabbed into the ground, and the city defense chief was lying not far from the sword. The guards on the drill ground didn't dare to breathe. It wasn't until the woman gently pulled out her sword and silently turned around to leave that the soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. However, just as the woman's figure left the barracks gate, the camp flag hanging above the barracks suddenly fell on its own and fell onto the muddy ground.
As night fell, the City Lord's Mansion was dazzling with gold and jade.
The original council hall was used as the venue for the banquet tonight. The tables and chairs in the hall were removed, and a few sculptures were used as partitions at the entrance. Behind them, there was a band playing a low and melodious tune. In the middle, there were a few long tables lined up side by side. On them were sumptuous food and wine for the guests to take.
Not long after Wyft arrived, the banquet had just begun. At this time, Tian Tian arrived at the right time. Coming early would seem to lower his status, and coming at night would be disrespectful to that lord. Wyft, who had always been meticulous, would never make such a low-level mistake. Only one female companion accompanied Wyft to the dinner. His female companion was very young, at least much younger than Wyft. The woman was wearing a backless dress with a V-shaped neckline decorated with a piece of fine jewels. Even though there was only one decoration in the entire skirt, it successfully attracted the attention of the men present. However, he didn't know if the man's gaze fell on the gem at the collar or the woman's faintly discernible ravine.
Or was it both?
