Chapter 732 - 388: The Country Where Death Is No Longer Respected_2
Ivita looked at Knight Robinson. "No, you haven’t. Mr. Robinson, we are heading to the capital of Lombardy, to where the Iron Crown lies. Taking her with us would only lead to her death."
"Although it sounds pitiful, in truth, staying in this lawless port city teeming with people is her only choice."
A look of regret crossed Knight Robinson’s face as he patted the little girl’s head. "You’re right, I didn’t consider thoroughly."
After giving the girl some food and water, Ivita and his party left the port city.
They rented the six finest horses from an inn in the city, replenished their conventional weapons at a blacksmith’s shop, and then headed to the tax station of the port city.
To unravel what happened in this city, they need to go to the capital.
Once they reach the capital, the whereabouts of those inexplicably conscripted but then disappeared soldiers can be easily figured out.
And also why this city lacks the protection of law.
But who would have thought that when they arrived at the tax station of the port city, ready to leave, they found the missing soldiers right there.
The soldiers barricaded all routes out of the port city, not allowing anyone, including the overland traders, to leave it.
Even a great witch, clad in a witch’s robe, blocked the road with a magic wand in hand, seated on a huge rock in the middle of the city gate, not allowing anyone to force their way out.
