Chapter 139: The Liberation of Ancient Law Town
“Good! That’s great!” Rowe said excitedly.
“All of you are the heroes of our Army!” Said Romon, smiling as he looked at the Nameless Soldiers below.
Following that, Dali spoke again.
“Apart from that, in this battle, the Empire’s warlord, Val, was also killed!
“I think it won’t be long before the lackeys of the Empire will sweep in again.
“These people are simply rabid dogs!”
Romon looked at the somewhat angry Dali before him and said, “There’s no need to be so angry! Dali, we’ve already done very well!”
Hearing Romon’s comforting words, Dali gradually started to find a sense of calmness again.
At the moment, all Dali could think about was what had happened in the past.
He had witnessed countless battles between the Empire and his own people before.
As the leader of the 2nd Legion of the Lieluo Army, he had returned to the battlefield after hiding for many years.
After witnessing such an overwhelming victory, Dali was finding it hard to calm down.
Romon then spoke to the soldiers outside the city gates.
“Soldiers, listen up! Let us enter the city!”
Following that, the valiant and mighty Nameless troops of the Lieluo Army walked towards the city gates.
Within the Ancient Law Town, countless commoners started to welcome the arrival of the soldiers.
The loud sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers were heard all over.
Everyone’s faces were filled with happiness.
Rowe and Romon rode on large horses at the front of the group.
Behind them were thousands of soldiers from the Lieluo Army.
Just then, an old man with an angry expression appeared in front of everyone, blocking their way.
Romon looked at the old man in confusion, before speaking.
“Old man, why are you blocking our way?”
When he saw Romon address him, the old man replied.
“Many of the old people in our Ancient Law Town were taken away by Lecter. My wife was among them!”
After the old man had spoken, Romon turned to question General Lecter.
“General Lecter, where did you take these old people?”
A look of embarrassment appeared on General Lecter’s face when he heard this. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
“I didn’t hurt these old people. They are still in the woods not far away from the Empire’s army camp!”
As soon as he heard this, Romon gave an order to General Lecter.
“In that case, you should hurry and release those people!”
“Okay! I’ll go now!”
With that, General Lecter quickly mounted his horse and rode towards the forest outside the city gates.
The old man who was blocking the road was still stubbornly refusing to move.
Seeing this, Romon opened his mouth to speak.
“Old man, I’ve already asked General Lecter to go and release them! Why don’t you let us pass?”
The old man remained in the middle of the road, unwilling to leave.
“No! I won’t leave until I see my wife!”
Romon looked helplessly at Rowe who was beside him.
Rowe shook his head, indicating that Romon should bear with it.
Romon was a little helpless, but he continued to endure it without exploding.
Shortly thereafter, General Lecter finally brought all the old people back to Ancient Law Town.
When the old man who was blocking the road saw his wife, he ran to her excitedly.
“Finally, you’re back! I really missed you!”
The old man said excitedly.
The old man’s wife looked at him with tears in her eyes as she spoke.
“There’s no need to worry about me. I’m fine!
“General Lecter treated us well. We weren’t hurt at all!”
“Really?” The old man asked.
The old man’s wife happily reassured the old man.
“General Lecter fed us well with good food and drinks. We thought we were sure to end up dead, but we didn’t expect that General Lecter had only taken us to ask some questions.
“After getting the answers that he wanted, he didn’t hurt us at all!”
When the old man heard this, he walked toward General Lecter with tears in his eyes.
He grasped the General’s hand and thanked him profusely.
“Thank you, General Lecter! Thank you!”
General Lecter was stunned by this sudden scene.
But soon, Lecter also held the old man’s hand and spoke.
“Old man, in the past, our positions were different. I had no choice but to follow orders. In fact, I was originally from Ancient Law Town, so I didn’t want to kill anyone!”
After hearing General Lecter’s words, everyone present began to speak up for him.
“Yes, yes, General Lecter is right. It seems that he has never thought of hurting us. Every time that he led an attack, he always stopped it before it any harm was done!”
“That’s right! Didn’t I say so long ago? General Lecter was originally from our Ancient Law Town. Naturally, he wouldn’t do anything to harm our Ancient Law Town!”
“Previously, General Lecter had no choice but to stand on the side of the Empire because of the situation he was in. Now that the crisis has finally been resolved, we are all one family! Everyone can finally be reunited!”
General Lecter listened to the words of the crowd. He smiled gratefully as he spoke.
“Everyone, you don’t need to worry! I, Lecter, will definitely protect everyone’s safety from now on! No lives will ever be forcefully uprooted here again!”
When everyone heard General Lecter’s words, they began to chant his name.
Rowe, Romon, and Mike, who were standing at the side, could not help but sigh when they observed the scene in front of them.
“General Lecter is really something. Who would have thought that with just a few words, the people who originally viewed him as an enemy would start to support him instead!”
Romon smiled at Rowe and said, “Big Brother, I think we should give the jurisdiction of this Ancient Law Town to Lecter. Maybe this place can become a future military fortress for our army!”
Rowe nodded before speaking.
“Ancient Law Town is indeed the most important pass in our current war.”
“If we hold Ancient Law Town, then it’ll be equivalent to holding the entire south area! I also feel that it’ll be more reliable to hand Ancient Law Town over to Lecter!”
Mike stood at the side, listening to Romon and Rowe’s discussion, and said with a smile.
“In my opinion, this Ancient Law Town should change its name!”
Romon said, “Indeed! Actually, the scale of this Ancient Law Town is very large. How can it continue to be called a town?”
Rowe turned to Mike, “Brother Mike, do you have any good ideas about changing the name?”
Mike said with a smile.
“In my opinion, let’s call it Lecter City!”
