IRON SHELL

Chapter 005: Capital and Town, Sword and Sword

Wu Zheng remained silent, but silence was only temporary. It was not silence that he used to confront the silent wounded soldiers.

Their weapon is the identity of the Expeditionary Army, which represents many things. If we take action against this identity, it will cause sympathy and anger among the people, "he said to himself.

So... "he smiled," as long as we change their identity, everything will be fine

Mori listened quietly without expressing any opinions.

Find some people and pretend to be them, "Wu Zheng pointed out to the team downstairs outside the window." We want them to become thieves, robbers, murderers... In short, we want them to become villains. Then... that's the matter with the Wangdu Sheriff

Yes, "Mori bowed and stepped back.

But these expeditionary forces surprised me a lot, "Wu Zheng muttered

Mori stood quietly, waiting to hear the analysis of the Chief Political Officer. He naturally had some analysis in his heart, but he knew that he only needed to think in his heart, and the wise mind of the chief political officer did not need his own supplementation.

"There must be an old hand behind their back guiding them, even instructing them! "Wu Zheng's face became somewhat unsightly.

"We must teach them a lesson! "He snapped," Dig out the backgrounds of these people, and as for themselves, execute them without leaving any trace! I want all the untouchables who try to take risks to know that against the chief political officials, no matter what kind of backstage they have, what awaits them can only be destruction! Complete destruction！"

Yes, "Mori nodded.

Wu was looking out of the window, pondering the 'veteran' behind the silent wounded soldiers. Political enemies fluctuated in his heart, but he did not realize that the only person who taught the wounded soldiers the code of action was a young man who had just turned eighteen.

He never imagined that the young man was a seed that was about to sprout, and as he grew up, no matter how strong the stubborn stone was, it would eventually be shattered and pushed down.

That night, there was silence around the camp of the silent wounded soldiers.

The security forces imposed a curfew on the grounds of searching for bandits, sealing off all avenues where Wang Du people could meet the wounded soldiers in the camp.

Then, during that night, many shocking public security cases occurred in many parts of Wangdu:

A man with one eye and a tattered military uniform attacked an old woman

Man, he took all the money from her and broke half of her ribs.

A man with rotten legs and old military uniform dragged a girl into a small alley and brutally committed violence.

A man with a missing arm and an old military uniform used an axe to chop open the heads of three young people and steal their valuable belongings.

And so on.

Overnight, Wang Du caused a sensation and the people were boiling with resentment. And the next day, rumors spread in the city - those expeditionary forces who came from afar were not heroes, but villains who, after failing to extort the country, targeted the people of the royal capital.

Some are frightened, some are angry, some are confused, and some do not believe at all.

The next night, many more cases occurred. The men who were beaten, the girls who were insulted, and the elderly who were deprived of their only property crowded the hall of the security forces on the third morning, either shouting angrily or crying in pain, demanding the arrest of the murderer and the return of the king's peace.

At this moment, the silent wounded soldiers were standing quietly in front of the main hall door. Due to the isolation of the security forces in recent days, they have not been able to interact with ordinary people and are unaware of the various malignant cases that have occurred in the royal capital.

At this moment, the Wang Du sheriff, with his army and many angry people, publicly searched the camps of the wounded soldiers. There, they found the valuable belongings of the murdered person, the lost belongings of the robbed person, and even the insulted girl's profanity clothes.

The people were angry, and they didn't expect that the wounded soldiers they sympathized with, loved, and supported would be such a group of extremely evil bandits, hateful hooligans!

At this moment, the sheriff expressed a sense of embarrassment:

After all, they are brave warriors who fought for humanity, after all, they fought for the human race against the demon race and defended their country. They usually seem quite honest and don't have enough evidence. If they are arrested, they may cause dissatisfaction from all the emergency troops

The people became even more angry, shouting and accusing loudly. Given the excitement of the crowd, the security forces were afraid of causing trouble, so from that day on, they began to "protect" the wounded soldiers.

So Qiu Li discovered that from that day on, hundreds of security forces would follow them and prohibit anyone from approaching them. And those who were originally full of goodwill, when looking at them from a distance, showed fear and hatred in their eyes.

Some even curse them loudly, shouting for their blood to repay, or get out of the capital.

He doesn't understand what happened.

But soon, he knew.

A few days later, the grievances of Wang Du's people accumulated to a terrifying extent, with many people running to the public security department to protest and accusing the security forces of inaction. This finally alarmed the daily chief political officer. After understanding the seriousness of the matter, the chief political officer, Mr. Wu Zheng, made a decisive decision and demanded that the security forces arrest the wounded soldiers and treat the people fairly.

The crowd cheered.

So, the team that had previously "protected" the wounded soldiers turned into the team that arrested them, and they charged towards the wounded soldiers sitting in front of the forbidden area of the palace.

No resistance! "Shouted the leader," or else you will be shot to death

What law have we committed? "Qiu Li asked loudly.

You have a plan in your mind! "Shouted the leader.

We just sat here quietly, we didn't break into the restricted area! "Qiu Li shouted. We are soldiers who fought and sacrificed for the human race. Why do you arrest us

You're just a bunch of thugs! "The leader sneered.

There were people watching from afar, shouting excitedly in support of the actions of the security forces. At this moment, several unfamiliar faces mingled with the crowd of wounded soldiers and security forces in conflict.

They also have disabilities, either missing ears or eyes. They wore prepared iron bars on their bodies and beat several security forces to pieces.

So the leaders of the security forces mercilessly began to counterattack, and one by one the wounded soldiers with incomplete limbs fell in the blood.

But the first few people who started, carrying iron bars, quietly disappeared in the alley.

Qiu Li saw those people, but he couldn't stop them from coming, taking advantage of the chaos, or escaping. The security forces seemed to be unable to see those people and only knew how to greet the wounded soldiers with their swords.

One by one, his comrades fell in pain, and Qiu Li was also beaten twice. He finally became angry and shouted wildly, snatching the sword of a security guard.

He who lost his right arm did not lose his strength. His strength was astonishing. Although his left hand was completely inexperienced in using a sword, with his powerful power, he easily chopped down at least six security forces charging towards his comrades in the pool of blood.

Archer, archer! "The leader dared not move forward and called out loudly.

A team of archers who had already prepared rushed over, and amidst the chaos of arrows, Qiu Li half knelt on the ground.

He had arrows in his chest and abdomen, and blood flowed down the wound, accumulating on the ground.

He gasped and saw several security forces charging towards fallen comrades, repairing their swords.

He stood up with a roar and rushed over, chopping down all the security forces to the ground.

That guy is very fierce

In a small building in the Forbidden Area of the Imperial City, Wu Zheng stood by the window, looking at Qiu Li.

I'm afraid it's from the regular army. There's no plan to infiltrate the wounded soldiers of the emergency expedition, "said the Wang Du security officer nearby.

So he must be the leader, "Wu Zheng sneered." Your security forces are clearly not trained enough

The sheriff's face turned red.

He must pay a greater price, "Wu Zheng said." I want everyone to know that those who dare to do such a heinous thing will not only harm themselves

Yes, "the sheriff nodded.

The events that occurred in the royal capital are unknown in the distant town of Shengdun.

A silent young man in a blacksmith's shop spent his time tinkling every day, and in two months, he finally forged a fine edged sword. This sword is not like any sword like weapon of any country on the continent. It is thin and tough, and can be bent into astonishing curves, as if it were not a sword but a willow branch.

The blacksmiths looked at the sword in surprise, unable to believe its destructive power, but when Anwen cut off the bundle of firewood tied to the thickness of his thigh with a sword, the blacksmiths all exclaimed in surprise.

"What a good sword! Strange sword!" the old blacksmith exclaimed.

What price do you think this sword can be sold for? "An Wen asked.

"If you can make the pattern of the hilt better, you can sell it to the rich dude in the town for fifty gold coins," said the old blacksmith.

Can you please help me? "An Wen asked.

"No problem." The old blacksmith nodded. But if the deal is successful, I will draw five gold coins as a reward

Sure, "An Wen nodded.

The sword was finally bought by a rich young man, as the old blacksmith said. Gongzi doesn't need a sword because he has enough bodyguards around him, and he doesn't have to go to the battlefield himself. The reason I bought it was just for decoration, just to show off, to make the beautiful girl look at me more, and to let out a few more exclamations when I waved my long sword and cut off the thick wooden stick.

But those forty five gold coins were enough to make An Wen survive this year's taxes and provide a winter's rations for the Qiu family.

Anwen was overjoyed and filled with longing when he received the money.

The young man looked at Anwen and asked the old blacksmith curiously, "Did he play the sword?"

"Yes." The old blacksmith quickly introduced to Anwen: "This is the son of the sheriff, salute quickly!"

For the sake of those forty-five gold coins, Anwen had to bow to this flashy young master.

Listen, "said the young master," I don't want anyone else in town to have such a sword that can attract people's attention. Do you understand what I mean

Anwen frowned. For fear that the other party might see him, he didn't look up, so his gaze could only reach the position of the young master's chest. He saw the young master wearing a family emblem on his chest, which represented that the sheriff's family was an ancient aristocrat in the local area, and also represented that the other party said that he, as a commoner, must obey unconditionally.

"That's nature," the old blacksmith replied for Anwen.
