344.Chapter 342 341 What? Where are these unruly people from? How dare you do that in Transylvania?
Chapter 342 341.What? Where did the unruly people come from? Daring to find trouble in the Transylvanian savage’s territory!
“What a hell of a place! I really believed those assholes, saying that after fighting in Transylvania you’ll get a reduced sentence and release? Ugh! This hellhole is worse than the sewers of Northwind Castle.”
On the streets of the small Transylvanian border town of Batasin, a fellow in a loose Yankee uniform sat on the side of the road with a face full of displeasure as he nibbled on hard bread with added wood shavings. He stared at everything around him with a cynical look, and the scars on his face with that fierce expression meant that he was not a man of charity and peace of mind.
The intricate black tattoos on his wrists, which are occasionally revealed with special meanings, point to his other identity than that of a normal human being.
This is a “mafioso”.
Well, at the high end of the scale, and at the low end of the scale, it’s an organized gangster.
The tattoos on these guys’ hands and bodies aren’t random, each design has a unique meaning, and few people other than them can understand the complexity of these messages, but there are people in Transylvania who can, such as Ms. Dorothy, the leader of the Blood Rats.
Her series of tattoos on her arms, shoulders and back all represent that although Dorothy is now the big sister of Murphy’s gang, she used to be in these “black forces”, but now she has become a good woman. Of course, if you look at it from another perspective, joining a vampire clan and becoming a middle manager is basically a typical step up in the mafia.
In that sense, Dorothy’s luck is really good.
“Boss, we’re going to gather in a bit, are we going?”
Beside this guy there were three other run-of-the-mill guys, although they were all wearing Yankee uniforms but that punk ass stance couldn’t be hidden.
One of the guys with a mohawked haircut looked viciously at everything that came near them as if he was going to kill these pesky assholes with his eyes, then spat on the ground and asked his own boss:
“Those officers who escorted us said that once we reach Transylvania, they won’t care about us anymore, this is the last gathering, after that we’ll be free.”
“Free my ass!”
Another shorter and older guy said with a sad face:
“The Transylvanians are going to use us as cannon fodder for the war, and that b*tch . Wolf Woman sold us here as merchandise, and those shit officers can’t wait to kick our asses right now. They don’t bother with us, they send us here to die.
The way I see it, why don’t we run away?
Didn’t a lot of people run away on the road? I don’t see anyone specializing in catching them either.”
“Bullshit, those who run away before reaching Transylvania are stupid, their status of being caught within the country is still that of a prisoner, but as long as we get here, we can get rid of the past for a while.”
The scar-faced boss, who hadn’t said a word, stuffed the last bite of hard bread into his mouth as he patted the crumbs from his hand and swept a grim gaze over the surrounding streets at the people who were surveying them, and any locals who came into contact with his menacing eyes twisted their heads in fear.
This timidity from others was so enjoyable to him that he rose and said:
“Come on, gather up and let’s find a place to restart here after those dog shit officers leave, I’ll see if I can get in touch with Papa John’s and grow the family’s power here. The Transians have been at war for ten years now, and although this place is poor, it doesn’t have the power of any other gangs, so we might be able to do something big here.”
“Hey, Boss is right!”
The three minions immediately followed, and the four of them walked down the street lined up, strutting around and simply taking up half of the street.
They paid no attention to the whispers of the people around them, and prepared to head to the barracks for their final assembly as the “Nordoff Border Guard Pioneer Pioneers”.
This so-called pioneering regiment was formed only half a month ago, and its members are all “Jianghu heroes” like these four guys, to be honest, in order to gather 6000 prisoners for Murphy, Her Majesty’s officials really put in a lot of effort.
Because of this “war aid” makes the number of prison inmates in North Windsor Fortress reduced by half overnight.
The officials there are still waiting for the follow-up news, if Murphy is satisfied with this model, then the prisoners in the prison system across the country will be “blessed”.
Just by doing this, Governor Murphy will have enough manpower to deal with the Black Plague, Her Majesty the Wolf Girl will have honored her political agreement, the prisoners will be able to get their sentences reduced by participating in the war, and the North Windsor Police Department will be able to make this year’s report a little more impressive.
It was simply a good deal that killed four birds with one stone.
Sometimes you have to admire the “creativity” of the feudalistic bureaucrats in this regard, and whether or not these ex-convicts are going to make a mess of the current lack of order in Transylvania is not something that the bureaucrats need to worry about.
That’s not a question for the bureaucrats, who have no intention of bringing them back.
It was clear that they wanted Murphy to send these dregs of society away as cannon fodder, so that everyone could relax and enjoy themselves, and absolutely no one would say anything on a moral level.
This group of prisoners who were half forced and half tempted to be sent to Transylvania were also aware of the trouble they were facing, so as in front of them, these four jianghu heroes already had plans on the way.
Expecting them to clean up their act and become good people would be better than expecting a dog, and they had no intention of honestly obeying Governor Murphy’s orders.
Just wait for the domestic escort to leave, then the sea is wide by the fish leap, the sky is high let the birds fly.
“Boss, look!”
These four heroes were walking on the road, when Mohican’s little brother suddenly pointed to the street ahead and whistled like he had discovered a new continent, and exclaimed:
“There’s a superb one over there!”
“Huh?”
The boss who was interrupted from thinking about how to make it big in Transylvania and create another glory was a bit annoyed.
He thought that all the little brothers he found on the road were all little caramels, who had never even experienced the style of the red light district of the North Wind Castle, and knew what was meant by “the best”, ah?
But he patiently swept a glance over there, then stared round eyes.
Good guy!
It’s really a very good thing.
Right on the roadside in front of these four magnates’ eyes, a woman wearing the robes of a nun of the Church of Avalon was leading a group of noisy small children to buy food on the street.
Those children surrounded her side chattering, and the woman’s figure is so exaggerated that this self-proclaimed “knowledgeable” boss looked straight in the eyes, he remembered in a trance when he was still in the family, listening to his own godfather occasionally said that in other realms there is a kind of female devil who uses beauty to seduce men.
He originally did not believe in this, but at this moment he believed.
This woman tsk tsk.
Seeing that the boss was looking straight, the three little Karami minions immediately heatedly laughed and stepped forward to block the way.
As the children backed away in fear, Mrs. Water, who was talking to a street merchant in a not-so-skilled Transylvanian accent, looked back in surprise and saw a big bald man with a scar on his face trying hard to show a little bit of “manliness” in front of her eyes.
Mrs. Water blinked.
Well, is this the legendary “robbing people’s women”?
My own precious husband always used this kind of thing to scare himself, always saying that if he went out alone, he might be snatched away by bad guys to become a concubine, and used this as an excuse to hire a few bodyguards for himself.
I didn’t expect that he had really been right.
Wow, what an exciting feeling.
“This lady, I’m suddenly interested in the faith of Avalon, so can I invite you”
The big brother whose mind was thinking about robbing sex would want to yank a text this time, but before he could finish, Lady Water fell and patted the dust in her hand, smiling and saying:
“Okay, go to the alley next to it, okay? Don’t scare the children.”
“?”
The big brother who had also done the bullying of men and women more than once froze.
It was the first time he had seen such a calm beauty who was about to be robbed, looking at the other party’s smile that could almost charm all beings, he suddenly shivered, always feeling that the “best” in front of him seemed to have suddenly grown two devilish horns in a trance just now.
Ten minutes later, Mrs. Water brought her chattering children back to the Silver Moon’s Pride’s temporary quarters in Batasin City, and in this specially rented compound there were already several carriages ready to travel.
The girls had just arrived in the small town when they realized that they actually didn’t need to be reminded that the Batasin Chamber of Commerce had already begun the operation of collecting stragglers in the Kavhoka region, and Lady Parian was even appreciative of the Silver Moon Regiment’s assistance.
In this small town, there were already more than thirty exiled families who were eager to return to Transylvania to settle down, counting the children, the number of people successfully exceeded two hundred, as long as they brought these people back to Scarlet Fortress, they would be able to get the first construction points in the “Hundred Days of Great Construction” activity.
However, children can’t hide things, after they came back, the news about Mrs. Shui’s encounter soon spread all over this courtyard.
Lumina, who had heard of the state of affairs, immediately rushed into Mrs. Water’s room as she exclaimed: “You just got molested on the road? Holy shit why didn’t you call someone? You didn’t get taken advantage of, did you? You hurry up and speak, don’t keep giggling, if your husband knows about this we’ll be finished.”
In the face of her concern as well as questioning, the fine-branched Mrs. Water seemed to have remembered something funny and laughed, finally nodding her head in a serious manner and saying:
“I have to say, the Transylvanian local prejudice against the Nords is still quite deep-rooted, at least as far as I’m concerned, I think those Yankee gentlemen are still quite gentlemanly, see all that food I brought back?
They paid for it, they couldn’t bear to see the stragglers suffer in the outlying villages so they donated all their extra money to the children who were in dire need of help.
They’re really enthusiastic.”
“Huh?”
This storyline was not exactly what Lumina had imagined as “robbing a woman by force”, she said skeptically:
“Then what did you pay for? You didn’t really trade your innocence, did you?”
“What are you talking about?”
Lady Water hummed, tilted her head to make a very cute expression poking her face to think, then said with a smile:
“Do four beginner human charm spells count as my payment? When Sister Marianne taught me this spell, she said that I was really talented at it.
This is the first time I’ve used it, but the results are really surprisingly good!
They willingly did whatever I asked them to do, even including such outrageous requests as jumping into the river outside the city for a swim on this already cooler day .
Those Northland gentlemen also agreed with smiles on their faces yet.
Oh yeah, those four Excellencies are quite rich.”
Lady Water took out a bag full of gold coins from her psychic bag and threw it to Lumina, saying:
“It’s true that you can’t tell the difference between people, that Mr. Scarface obviously has a face that wouldn’t even survive an episode in an anime, but I didn’t expect to be carrying thousands of gold coins with him.
Tsk, the Northman is really rich.”
“You got thousands of gold coins in one trip out?”
Lumina said with a shocked face:
“You really ran out to rob no, robbing can’t be as fast as you can get money like this! Wait, there’s a letter in this pocket, let me see it.
“From the godfather of the Snegov family.
Well, this seems to be a letter from a gangster family in Northwind Castle to another gangster family in the Kaphok Plains area, which says that they intend to take advantage of the channel of the Northmen sending prisoners to Transylvania to join the army to transfer some of the members of the family to this side to ‘open up business’.
So, is this a spinoff plot made by the development team in imitation of the Mafia?”
“Fight in! Come on in! Lumi-san, bad guys are coming in!”
Before Lumina and Mrs. Water’s conversation was over, a frightened little girl with braided hair rushed in, clutching an apple, and shouting with a face full of panic:
“A bunch of Yankee soldiers are rushing in, and they want to arrest a witch! They want to arrest a witch! They say the witch has cheated them out of their money, so go out and see!”
“Where did those bastards come from that dare to break into our Silver Moon’s Pride’s compound? So arrogant! I’ll shoot you!”
Outside the door, the screams of little Vikrama and the ear-piercing sound of gunshots rang out, followed by chaotic shouts and roars and the sound of swords and spears being unsheathed.
Lumina covered her eyes in pain, if it wasn’t for the fact that Orchid was going back to her home country today and couldn’t be online, she really wouldn’t have arranged for Little Vikram to do the “hospitality” work.
“That… Did I get us in trouble?”
Mrs. Water asked in a small voice with an anxious look, and Lumina immediately comforted her:
“It’s nothing to do with you, these bastards were originally felons released from prison by the Yankees specifically sent to Transylvania as cannon fodder, the fact that you weren’t taken advantage of is the most important thing, those bastards will be left to Little Vikrama to clean up.”
Said, Lumina turned out of the house and in the arithmetic treasure pearl contact here do not know where to go walking pomegranate sister hurry back to “rescue”, she saw the yard bullets flying, blood flow all over the ground scene is not afraid, see a bald man trying to use hand axe sneak attack small reed name, then immediately drew his sword a flash to go out and also joined the battlefield.
In the room, Mrs. Water maintains a subtle expression on her face, reaching out and gently hitting on her left hand, she said:
“Alas, why can’t I control my own hand? I can’t handle the beginning and end of things, now I’ve caused trouble for the others ah.”
With those words, she reached into her psychic bag and took out the exaggeratedly shaped Soul Snatching Scythe that Reed had ordered for her and held it in her hand, and again, like a cleric of the highest standard, she closed her eyes and chanted:
“Merciful Avalon, forgive me for this little mess I’ve caused today, but I think you, as wise as you are, can see that a lesson to these soldier ruffians is the only way to make Transylvania’s cause better and smoother.
This killing is for the greater good, and it is a killing that must be done for the greater good.
Of course if you still want to blame me be my guest, if you can’t even see through this then that means you are neither omniscient nor omnipotent, and are even less qualified to receive the embrace and love of so many.”
After she finished speaking she waited patiently for a few seconds without seeing the God of Avalon descending divine punishment, so Lady Water understood that the God she chose to believe in the game had already acquiesced to what she, a proper clergyman, had done today.
See, what an enlightened deity!

“What do you say? Thirty people deserted and went out of the campground only to not return until now?”
A few hours later, in the makeshift barracks outside of Batasin, the Yankee officer in charge of escorting the prisoners received the bad news, and already slightly drunk, he got up in a hurry to straighten up his instruments and lead his entourage into the city.
He was going to seek out the Blood Wyvern vampire currently in charge of receiving prisoners in Batasin City to ask for clarification on the matter, and Maxim, who was sitting in on the ground, gave a fairly straightforward answer on the matter.
“Lost soldiers so they’re going into Batasin City to search? NO! I will not allow it, it is not in our agreement.”
Maxim, who wore the robes of a blood vulture, said without lifting his head as he dealt with the roster of armed blood servants presented to him on the table:
“Moreover, according to my subordinates’ returns, we did not see any soldiers from your side wandering around the city today, but instead caught a group of thugs armed with swords and injuring people in broad daylight, numbering in the thirties.”
“Yes, that’s them.”
The officer cursed inwardly, then replied:
“You have to hand them over to me, or of course you can not. Anyway, once midnight passes today, they will be your soldiers.”
At this point in the conversation, Maxim stopped the quill in his hand, and he looked up with a subtle look at the Yankee officer before him, who was eager to shake off his responsibility.
After a few seconds he said:
“I can only give you back twenty-three men.”
“Why?”
The Yankee officer asked curiously, and Maxim shrugged and got up, leading him out of the office to the rear yard.
Lined up on the gallows hung twenty-three bodies swaying in the wind, the loose Yankee uniforms they wore would have looked particularly harsh.
Next to them were seven black body bags.
As the officer watched, his hair standing on end, Maxim sighed quietly and said:
“You can take the 23 intact bodies with you now, but you have to understand, Your Excellency, that Batasin City is only a small town, and the doctors here are too limited in their skills to put the remaining seven bullet-riddled corpses back together for you in a short period of time.
As I’m sure you’ve heard, we Transylvanians do occasionally do things a billion times more violently, and your soldiers were unfortunate enough to encounter what would be considered a wild bunch even among Transylvanian barbarians.
I have learned the cause and effect.
My subordinates handled it properly without any rudeness, so all I can say about the matter itself is that I regret it.”
“You guys . You’ll make that group of criminals blow up if you do that!”
The Yankee officer took a step back as he snapped:
“I can’t discipline them.”
“But it was never your responsibility to clean up that mob …”
Maxim’s gaze swept over the hanging bodies, and he said in a low tone:
“You brought those guys to Batasin, so your honorable mission and heavy duty to Her Majesty, the Wolf Woman, has been completed, so let us take over next. I’ve heard that the criminals of Nordtorf are good at talking with their fists?
What a coincidence!
So are we Transylvanians.”
