Sheriff: (ΩДΩ)
"What?!"
The Sheriff suddenly stood up. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide as he looked at the "old friend" who had known him for eight years, an honest and good-natured Guart farmer standing in front of him. It has been eight years since the Sheriff came to Washiu Town. Eight years ago, the Sheriff of Wasiu Town was killed by several gold diggers outside the town. The state government transferred a new Sheriff here, who had just graduated one year ago. With their longings and dreams for the future, young people embarked on a swamp-like journey, and finally got deeply trapped in this place.
Although those gold diggers said that their heads had been taken off by another group of gold diggers in exchange for a bounty of fifty yuan, their mission was far from over. The state government told him that when he was forty-five years old, You can apply for early retirement at that time. At that time, he will honorably leave his current position, receive the same pension as those who retire at a normal age, and enjoy the retirement benefits that others can enjoy.
There are too many dotted settlements in the western wilderness, they are too far away, and most importantly, they are too dangerous. Gold diggers, wild predators, robbers, and bandits are all dangerous factors that seriously threaten the life safety of the Western Sheriff. This is a lawless place. In addition to respecting the peacekeepers who voluntarily come to work in the west, they also consider that once the peacekeepers get older and their physical fitness declines, it may arouse the desire of gold diggers to commit crimes. All western state governments give The remuneration and benefits of peace officers are far superior to those of police officers in other places. I hope that more people can contribute to the society in the west.
The Sheriff was almost thirty-three years old at this time, and he would have to stay here for twelve years before he would have the chance to return to his hometown. Perhaps he would never be able to go back in this life, because he was married. His wife is a woman from the town, and he has a family here, children, and a very kind "father and mother." He might not be used to returning to another world, and he even thought this place was actually pretty good.
But now, a turning point has occurred. Once a sheriff has made great achievements, he can actively apply for transfer or retirement. This is also a benefit that only Western Sheriffs have.
What has had the biggest impact on the West in recent times has been something about the Freedom Front. That group of thugs has massacred three mining areas and killed thousands of people. Some portraits have appeared on the wanted list. The state government has told these peace officers that if someone can perform meritorious service, find the Freedom Front camp or capture the key personnel, then they can retire earlier and enjoy the goodwill of the state system towards them. You can also choose to go back to the prosperous world and leave this damn west.
The Sheriff rushed out from behind the table. He grabbed the middle-aged man in front of him by the collar very roughly and asked loudly, almost face to face: "Repeat yourself, what did you just say you found?"
The farmer whose collar was sealed by him swallowed a gulp of saliva, and leaned back with some fear, trying to get his face further away from this guy. The spittle with the smell of bad breath made him feel sick, "I said today The gold diggers who entered the town seemed to be members of the Freedom Front... "
An excited smile immediately appeared on the Sheriff's face. He paused after letting go of his hand, then straightened the farmer's collar that was messed up by him, and kept repeating "That's it." He turned around and walked behind the table, took out his police badge and hung it on his chest, and then prepared to dial the number of the nearest city. That city is more than 150 kilometers away from here. If they use a temporary artificial rail car to come there, it will take about two hours.
By then, no matter what these gold diggers know or don't know, his credit will be enough for him to leave this hellish place.
stay
That's impossible!
Just after he picked up the phone and dialed two numbers, he stopped again. His questioning eyes rested on the farmer's face, "How did you know they were from the Freedom Front? I made this call and Won't be in any trouble for me, but if they weren't, you'd be in big trouble!"
Then the middle-aged man told the sheriff what these people said when they passed by him while he was sitting and napping in front of the tavern. They said they planned to rob the town and they needed to find out if there was any hidden danger here.
The Sheriff pressed on the farmer's shoulder and said in a passionate voice: "Everyone in Wasiu Town will thank you. Believe me, I will call you now. Even if it is wrong, I will help you exonerate you." ." After saying that, he dialed the last few numbers. It wasn't that he believed the farmer's words completely, but he felt that it was very reasonable.
Since the Freedom Front broke through three mining areas, the impact has gradually gone beyond people's predictions of this organization's "small trouble". Even the military has taken the initiative to take the initiative to carry out the important task of annihilating the Freedom Front in advance. In this case, with the joint intervention of the government, capitalists and mine owners, cities everywhere began to shrink the shipments of daily necessities and food. The commander of the Western Military Region formulated a very simple but very effective strategy and tactics to force the Freedom Front to take the initiative to stand up and fight with them, just like his predecessor did more than ten years ago when he forced the anti-government armed forces called the "Scarlet Legion" and They fight the same.
This method is very simple, that is, no one, including any group or enterprise, is allowed to sell any food, medicine, or daily necessities to those in the Freedom Front. Every large-scale shipment requires applications and certificates submitted by both the supplier and the buyer, and will be accompanied by the military throughout the process. The purpose of this is to push the Freedom Front into a corner and force them to climb a dangerous wall.
Now it seems that this trick is very effective, and just as the commander thought, after being cornered, the Freedom Front people will consider whether to rob villages and towns. Once they choose to do this, they will completely expose their whereabouts, and the military will be able to quickly locate them and then eliminate them. As for whether their looting of villages will bring danger to residents living in the west? The answer is yes, but the state government and officials believe that these western cowboys, in order to protect their lives and property, will let those in the Freedom Front know what the "West of the Empire" is.
This call was quickly contacted to the nearest city and the military. After knowing the news, the commander of the Western Military Region did not hesitate too much and immediately issued his order. Then the Western Military Region assembled a legion of troops and rushed towards Wasiu Town.
At this time, two hours away from Wasiu Town, Amon had returned to the camp. Fenrir greeted him as soon as he returned to the camp. Fenrir knew that Amon was going to see Dulin, so he didn't interfere too much, just like he didn't like Dulin and wanted to continue to interfere and control his future. life like that. But Amon has no idea of talking to Fenrir. In his view, Fenrir is a faithless person who is corrupted by selfish desires, and is a devil who will eventually sink to the bottom of hell. He will not talk to such a person. People have too much involved.
Seeing Amon's attitude, Fenrir did not say anything further. He knew very well that the split of the Freedom Front had begun, and the moment it started, it was the moment it ended. These people do not believe in illusory things such as pursuits, dreams, and beliefs. They only believe in the weapons in their own hands and the interests that exist in their own eyes.
"Want to talk to him again?", Fenrir was asked.
Fenrir shook his head, withdrew his gaze from Amon, turned and walked deeper into the camp, "Let him go, we are not the same people. It will be better if he leaves, at least now the purpose of all of us is the same." Unified. Let the leaders below come to my camp for a meeting. We have to plan our next move... "
Amon immediately summoned people who trusted him and had the same ideas and pursuits as him, and left immediately with these people without notifying Fenrir. This was something Dulin told him. When Dulin knew that a group of southerners headed by Fenrir did not intend to abide by their agreement, he made the final decision. He can pull up a group of unarmed slaves who can only be used as livestock, and he can also hold down this group of free and armed militants again!
His original idea was to create a news bomb through public opinion, letting everyone in the empire know that there were still slaves in the western part of the empire, something that would shame the empire and regress civilization, resolve the panic caused by the Freedom Front, and whitewash them. He still plans to do this now, and doing so now can achieve better results, but all of this has a prerequisite, and that is to sacrifice those people headed by Fenrir.
At that time, there will be one more point of criticism in public opinion - the western military and the state governments of the three western states tried to conceal such appalling things and completely eradicate these people before the public knew about it, and they did so. Unfortunately, they were not foolproof, because some members of the Freedom Front organization composed of slaves escaped and exposed this shocking secret to major newspapers.
Look, what a perfect solution, how much people hated the Freedom Front, one of the main culprits of the unrest in the West, before they knew the truth, so now they will have so much compassion for those who died and those who were alive . Death does not make the taste lighter, but makes the taste more intense, so intense that it is pungent. Only the sacrifices of these people can set off the cruel attitude of the Western World of the Empire towards these "slaves" from top to bottom!
Those social activists who stand on the moral high ground may be too busy to drink water in the coming period.
