At dusk, it was time for Vader to go out on patrol.
Most of the time, he would walk around Neverwinter with two or three subordinates, and occasionally act alone. In theory, he is now the Minister of Police and the third-in-command of the Kingdom Security Bureau, and he does not need to perform patrol tasks in person. But instead of sitting in the office and making plans, he prefers the feeling of being in the battle in person.
It has been a year and a half since he came to this city in the west, and he has two biggest impressions. First, the city is expanding at an astonishing speed. Originally, it only took him half an hour to circle the city, but now it is at least twice as much, not including the seaport to the south and the farmland to the east.
Second, the security of Neverwinter City can be described as incredible. The most common crimes are stealing and fighting, and these two are the most serious. Crimes like homicide, robbery, kidnapping, etc., are rarely seen once a month. It cannot be said that there is no such thing as no, especially after the large influx of refugees into the city, the law and order also deteriorated for a time, but with the coordinated efforts of the police department and the Witch Union, the crime trend was quickly curbed.
His Majesty's emphasis that a case must be solved is not a false statement here. In the face of Axia's backtracking ability and Vanilla's tracking ability, no one who violates the law can escape punishment. Due to the extremely high crime risk and cost, coupled with zero tolerance for black street rats, safety is an improvement that almost everyone can see.
He insisted on patrolling every day because he wanted to feel the calmness. Seeing everyone walking at night with a relaxed look, and the trusting look in his salute, Vader always felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.
It turns out that he can also become such a person, a respected law enforcer, not a villain who is scolded by everyone.
This is an experience that has never been experienced in the previous patrol.
Obviously, the original intention of the two constructions is exactly the same, and the methods and tasks are also similar, but they have created completely different effects.
In the final analysis, it can only be said that there is a difference in the talents of the lord.
"Boss, do you need me to follow?" The whistle who just returned from outside the city hall greeted.
"Oh? You don't have to accompany that girl today?"
"This... you already know," whistle blushed suddenly, "actually... you don't have to stay together every night."
This caused laughter from some onlookers.
"Then you have to be careful, don't let anyone take it away."
"Shut up, shut up!"
Vader smiled and shook his head, "I can go alone today, you can go home after you pack up."
"Then... ok, thank you boss!"
Looking at Whistle's excited back, he was quite emotional. When he left Jinsui City, he was alone, and he thought that this life might go on like this. How could he have expected such achievements today. Perhaps after helping Father Kakusim buy an adjacent house, he should also find another companion.
However, just as Vader walked out of the city hall, a terrifying alarm suddenly sounded over the city.
"woohoo"
His face changed suddenly.
This sound is completely different from the alarm bells used before. From dull to high-pitched, it goes on and on and on. Once you hear it, you will never forget that it represents the highest alert level in Neverwinter, even in the long demon month. Not once. In fact, he only did relevant rehearsal during the exercise, and this was the first time he heard it.
According to regulations, when the highest warning horn sounds, Neverwinter City will implement martial law. The city gates had to be closed, the police cleared the streets, and the First Army marched to the defense lines.
"Boss!" Several people, including the whistle, rushed out of the office.
Vader turned around and saw that the entire city hall was stagnant, and everyone stood there dumbfounded, as if at a loss.
His Majesty is currently leading the army to retake the Kingdom of Greycastle, so this cannot be an exercise!
What happened to make the garrison issue such a stern warning
Damn, but now is the most empty moment for the defense of Neverwinter City!
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you still doing, move me! Whistle, call all the people who are on vacation! Huotou, take the rest of you to the city wall with me! What are you doing during the exercise? Do what you do now, understand!"
This thunderous rebuke woke not only the police team members, but also the administrative officials in the hall.
"Yes, I understand!"
The city hall became busy in an instant, but Vader was no longer in the mood to take care of the civil servants, and rushed out of the castle district with a group of police.
Seeing the confused residents on the street, he suddenly felt as big as an ox.
Since the highest alert number was only established this year, it did not even have a city-wide drill. Perhaps the maker, His Majesty Roland, did not expect to encounter such an emergency so soon, but since it has happened, this matter is obviously It was a mistake of the garrison. If it was him, the alarm bell would have been sounded at the same time, and the city residents wandering the streets would be evacuated quickly.
But now is not the time to complain, Vader clapped his hands and focused the attention of the surrounding residents on him, "Listen, everyone, go home now, don't linger on the street! This is the warning of an enemy attack, repeat , go home now!"
"Go home immediately, don't stay!" Huo Tou and others also shouted.
Fortunately, the police department is usually trusted by residents, and the municipal department has also popularized the response method of conventional alarms many times. After hearing the warning, everyone began to move to the residential area.
In this way, a group of people rushed to the border city wall while shouting.
Everywhere on the top of the wall can be seen soldiers ready to take their place, with flags standing in front of the setting sun, the artillery on the high platform has also taken off its cannon coat, and its long barrel is facing the vast grassland in front, as if waiting at any time. Inflict a thumping blow to the enemy. Seeing this scene, Vader could not help but calm down a lot.
As long as there is the First Army, no matter how many people there are, it will be an indestructible line of defense.
This has been the result of many battles.
Soon, the police threw themselves into vigilance and order protection at the scene... But what puzzled him was that even though the highest alarm was still echoing over the city, why was there no sound in the western grasslands and jungles
Where is the enemy
At the same time, in the conference room of the lord castle, another group of people quarreled.
"Because of a babble from a witch who doesn't know the details, the highest alarm is set off?" Barov looked at Wendy with disbelief, "Do you know how much trouble and loss this will bring us? Whether this woman named Lorgar is unreliable, if I heard correctly, your basis is only her babble when she was delirious! It would be too exaggerated to stop half of Neverwinter just like this! If so, how do you ask me to explain to His Majesty?" 21019
