Chapter 255 - An Invisible Hand (2/2)

“Now, under the name of the Garrisons, I demand you to drop your weapon and come with us!”

“Garrisons?”

Anne was dumbfounded Lize elbowed Anne froli of a con which ordinary Garrisons wouldn’t have Moreover, identical saddles would only appear on one kind of people

And that was the nobles’ private soldiers!

“Drop your weapon now!”

The leader ordered upon Anne’s noncoathered to check on the situation Anne appeared seely like she had the intentions to surrender She stooped over and placed the heavy shi+eld on the ground, but then, she brandished it abruptly

ht and his warhorse flying, and they crashed right into their couard In an instant, the whole group of knights cruhts drew their weapons furiously and charged forward

“Run!”

Anne raised her shi+eld and struck off another knight’s attack Lize dashed into the crohile holding hands with Christie She was deteret away as far as possible

“What did you say?!”

Marlene widened her eyes in disbelief while Rhode said with a frown

“What exactly happened? Explain!”

“It’s like this…”

Perhaps due to the influence of Rhode’s calm attitude, Joey explained steadily

“I was at the Mercenary association on soht with the city guards in the marketplace and many of them were injured I made a trip to the place, but it was completely sealed off Froht with the city guards!”

“… How did this happen?”

Marlene was stunned It was possible for Anne to act rashly, but Lize too?

“When did all this happen?” Rhode said

“Around an hour ago Leader, what should we do? I sent Randolf to gather our o search for theave an unexpected answer

“Joey, get Old Walker here and check on the situation to gather inforather information on the causes, reasons, and results Then, I need you to inforet their men ready to o check it out!”

A putrid stench caround tunnel

“Hu… Hu…”

Anne stooped over and peeked at the situation outside

“Why aren’t they giving up yet? It’s so annoying! Who exactly are they?!”

“They shouldn’t be the city guards”

Lize said softly as she hid behind Anne and hugged Christie in her arms

“And I don’t think they are ordinary private soldiers Usually, they wouldn’t have such ee Besides…” she paused

“daritted her teeth, yet was unable to say anything Originally, the trio had decided to escape to the stronghold, but they didn’t expect that the whole marketplace would be completely sealed off without any way for them to retreat It was due to this that they had no choice but to hide in an abandoned, empty house

“If Sister Marlene realises that we’re not back yet, she will probably come for us”

“Yes… But…”

Lize shook her head as she felt that things weren’t as sihts were definitely not real garrisons One reason was because Lize and Anne had lived here for years and were faarrisons here It raised Lize’s doubts that there were actually people who didn’t knoho they were and they even dared to pass thearrisons and brazenly seal off the entirein trouble?
