The Gentlemen Alliance's recruitment order made the north of the city particularly lively tonight.
Because there were too many gentlemen who were summoned, the uneven distribution of criminals was greatly magnified and caused some disputes.
In the southwest corner of the slums in the north of the city, a skinny half-orc with a wretched appearance was curled up in the corner, looking at the dozen or so gentlemen surrounding him with fear.
However, these gentlemen had not done anything to him yet. Instead, they were arguing among themselves.
"Brother, I saw this thief first. He should belong to me," a tall knight said righteously.
"No, no. Everyone has eyes. How can you say that you saw him first? If I didn't yell, he would have reached out his evil claws to that little girl," a muscular demon said while shaking his head.
"I don't care. He was knocked down by my slippers. That's my trophy. You shouldn't fight with me," an orc argued while putting on his shoes.
"I saw him first!"
"I wanted to catch him!"
Everyone was arguing, and the atmosphere was very tense. It felt like they were going to fight to determine the winner.
The orc was stunned when he heard that. How did the world suddenly change? The slums in the north of the city, which had been completely ignored by the city, suddenly had these strange fellows. After a while, he asked weakly, "Can I … go now?"
"Get lost!"
Everyone gave him a kick at the same time and kicked him back to the corner. Then, they continued to fight for the ownership of this stupid thief.
"You … You can kill me!"
After being surrounded and fighting for ownership for half an hour, the stupid thief finally couldn't help but explode. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "I just wanted to snatch a candy … It's just a candy …"
The scene was silent for a moment. Everyone looked at each other.
"You think you're in the right to snatch a candy?" The irascible orc kicked him over.
"Don't you know what you look like? You came out in the middle of the night to snatch a little girl's candy. What if you scared her?" The knight gave him another kick.
"If we didn't appear, you might not have just wanted to snatch a candy. Didn't this knife fall from your body? The smell of fresh blood on it doesn't seem too old. You must have stabbed someone with this knife not too long ago. "An elf picked up a short knife from the ground.
"That … that's just something I picked up." The half-beast man's gaze was obviously evasive.
The horseman stepped forward and looked at the crowd. "Alright, there's so many of us. We won't be able to get anything out of it. We can't just split a leg or a few pounds of meat, right? Let's come up with a list and send this guy to the Gray Temple. They are more experienced than us in interrogating people. "
"Alright."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They found a pen and paper and wrote a name list. Then, two of them tied up the half-orc and sent him directly to the Gray Temple.
The same thing was happening in the dark corners of the northern part of the city. Overall, there was a situation where there were fewer thieves and more gentlemen. Often, a group of gentlemen would argue for half an hour over the ownership of a thief. There were even cases where the thief could not bear the pressure and committed suicide.
Apart from the Gentlemen Alliance that came spontaneously, the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple had also sent a few more patrol teams with prison wagons to make it easier for the gentlemen to directly hand over the captured criminals.
"Captain, the Gentlemen Alliance caught more criminals in a night than we did in a month." A young inspector from the Gray Temple exclaimed to himself as he looked at the three wagons full of criminals.
"These fellows are usually very sly. They know our patrol routes and timings, so it's very difficult to catch them. However, this Gentlemen Alliance that suddenly appeared made use of the human wave tactic to make them unable to hide. It's indeed very effective. " That captain nodded. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at those criminals in the prison wagons. "There are a few big fish in there that have been giving us headaches for a long time. Once we're done with this round, Chaos City will become a lot safer."
"The mysterious person who started the Gentlemen's Alliance is really admirable," the young inspector praised.
"People who can take the initiative to maintain order in Chaos City are all admirable," the captain said with a nod.
…
That night, although many tiles in the old houses in the slums in the northern part of the city were crushed, the people living there had a good night's sleep.
Most of the gentlemen had already left in the latter half of the night, but there were still some who stayed until dawn.
They guarded Chaos City at night.
The morning sun shone on the gentlemen who were curled up on the wall with their eyebrows stained white by the frost. A smile appeared on their tired faces as they got up to shake off the frost on their cotton-padded clothes before disappearing from the wall.
In just one night, the Bastie Prison's cells were already in a state of emergency because of the overcrowding.
…
Meg also stayed up the whole night. When the morning sun shone in through the window, he realized with a start that he had already spent the whole night drawing.
"It's indeed not easy to be a drawing dog and a writing dog." Meg cracked his neck as he cracked his neck. He got up to tidy up the messy drawings on the table according to their order, and flipped through them before putting them back on the bookshelf.
The drawings for the machinery and factory were already done, but the specific process had not been written down yet. He could only take some time out during the day to do that.
He raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already 6am. It seemed like there was no time to catch up on sleep. He stretched his back and warmed up his body. He went straight to the bathroom for a cold shower, and woke up immediately.
Meg now had the physique of a 9th-tier knight, and his body was extremely strong. He had only stayed up the whole night, so he would not be so sleepy.
He went downstairs to prepare breakfast for everyone. Mia and the rest also came to the restaurant one after another. They all had light dark circles under their eyes.
"Why? Didn't you all sleep well last night?" Meg asked with a smile as he scooped porridge for everyone.
"Boss, you have no idea how lively it was in the north of the city last night. Those gentlemen from the Gentlemen's League were so crazy. They simply wiped out all the bad guys and criminals in the north of the city. We searched for the whole night, and only caught two thieves who stole the ceramic vats. We were almost robbed," Yabemiya said excitedly.
"I reckon that they have already caught 70-80% of the bad guys in the north of the city last night. I'm afraid the rest don't have the guts to come out and commit crimes," Camilla said.
"You're a group of 7th-tier, 8th-tier, and 9th-tier magicians, giant dragons, and vampires. Isn't it a bit too much to catch two thieves who stole ceramic vats?" Meg raised his eyebrows. He was a bit surprised by the enthusiasm of the Gentlemen's League. He had originally thought that it would be good enough if there were people who would respond, but the result seemed to have far exceeded his expectations.
"This makes me very troubled. Those bad guys originally belonged to me, but now I can't even compete with them …" Connie sighed. He was a little sad. He thought for a while, and his eyes lit up. "But, can I ask my master to release those bad guys in prison? Then I can kill them one by one."
