“What?” Jasmine was shocked as his expression turned shocked.
The City-State Union was in disarray with many stray mercenary regiments of all sizes. Some mercenary regiments were too small to take on enough tasks to support themselves, so they sometimes partook in bandit raids.
Jasmine knew about these too, but he had no idea someone would be so bold as to raid Dorodo‘s town and kidnap the poor residents!
“Why hasn’t Quentin contacted me? Doesn’t he…”
Before Jasmine could finish his sentence, the phone on the desk rang suddenly. Needless to say, it must be Quentin on the phone.
Jasmine answered the phone immediately, and Quentin‘s voice came through the phone.
“Commander Astor, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the poor people who went out to work in the fields through the west city gate were arrested by a gang of…”
“I’ve heard of it. I’m preparing to deploy soldiers to exterminate all stray mercenary regiments… No, stray bandits in the vicinity of Dorodo. I will also bring back all the poor people who have been captured,” Jasmine said solemnly.
Quentin was relieved to hear Jasmine’s promise but said, “Hurry, Commander Astor. You must hurry! Those who went out to work in the fields are basically women with no protection. The consequences would be unimaginable. ”
“I see. I’ll hurry.”
Jasmine hung up and ordered Nirina to gather the city defense soldiers.
According to the information Nirina had gathered, about 20 poor women were captured, and there were 40 to 50 stray bandits armed with weapons and fast horses.
The west city gate was now closed. With 200 city defense soldiers, Jasmine rode fast horses out of the east city gate and searched the wilderness for traces of the stray bandits.
“Come on. Let’s go after them!” Jasmine ordered, waving his hand.
200 city defense soldiers followed Jasmine and Nirina and galloped toward the direction the bandits had left.
Jasmine and the rest caught up with a stray mercenary regiment after about an hour.
Jasmine frowned and ignored the regiment, continuing the chase with city defense soldiers.
While chasing, Jasmine told Nirina to take some beans out of a bag and sprinkled them on the ground.
