Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

Orleans Island.

Hughes and the two saw a small warship moored at the pier, and there were many naval soldiers patrolling the shore.

In order to avoid trouble, they landed in a remote area on the side of the island.

After arriving on the island, the two made some disguises and rushed to the central town carefully and quickly.

After entering the town, they felt a heavy atmosphere permeating the entire town.

Although several days have passed since the tragedy, the grief and fear it brought to people are far from dissipating.

They spent some time finding out where the mayor lived.

If anyone is said to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the tragedy, the mayor is the most likely person.

for a long time.

"That's it."

Hughes and Ed stopped in front of a building that was much more ornate than ordinary residential buildings.

jingle jingle~

Hughes rang the doorbell.

They are visiting as bounty hunters. If they are discovered or the other party does not cooperate, then they will have no choice but to use force.

Soon, a butler poked his head out from behind the door.

When the housekeeper heard the guest's intention, although he didn't completely believe it, he welcomed the two people in politely.

He didn't dare to anger the people who were hanging out at sea. These people were moody and would swing their swords at them if they disagreed.

tata tao~

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, the two Hughes met the mayor of Orleans Town, an energetic middle-aged man.

"You go out first."

The mayor waved away the butler and made a secret gesture.

Hughes also noticed it and kept a careful eye on it.

"So..." the mayor asked: "What are the two Mr. Hunters looking for me specifically for?"

Hughes didn't talk nonsense and asked straight to the point: "I want to know the specific information about the tragedy a few days ago."

The mayor looked at the two Hughes in silence, thinking about the gains and losses in his heart.

For a long time, just when Hughes thought the other party would refuse, he suddenly heard him say loudly: "Okay."

The mayor slowly talked about the circumstances of the tragedy, including some details that the two of them did not understand.

For a moment, Hughes frowned and said, "Mr. Mayor, can you tell me the key points, such as the information and clues about the murderer."

Although the old man talked about details that were not published in the newspapers, they were of no importance.

One has to suspect that he was stalling for time. Coupled with the previous secret interaction with the housekeeper, Hughes guessed that they might have been discovered.

Thinking of this, Hughes said with a hint of threat: "Mr. Mayor, I hope you will cooperate."

"Right now, right now, young people just don't have the patience."

The mayor wiped away his sweat and told some important information.

"Actually...there were witnesses on the night of the crime."

"The witness was a little girl who hid and saw some of the footage."

"I was just too scared, so I didn't say anything until yesterday."

"She saw a man with wings grabbing a monster and flying away."

Hughes perked up and immediately asked: "Do you know what the man with wings looks like and what the monster looks like?"

The mayor shook his head, indicating that the little girl only knew so much.

"By the way, there is another situation. After we sorted out the victim's information, we found that the body of one person was missing."

"Or maybe the town citizen is not dead at all but missing."

"Aware of this, we once again analyzed the list of victims."

"It was later discovered that almost all the victims had had friction or verbal disputes with the missing town citizen."

"..."

Hughes learned about the missing townspeople, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The man with wings...

Lafitte's figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

Could it be this guy?

With this guy's bad character, he is capable of any kind of tragedy.

There is also the missing town citizen. Although it is not sure what role he played in it, he is definitely involved.

After a moment, Hughes raised his head and asked, "Did you tell the Navy about this information?"

The mayor nodded: "I said it."

Not only did he say it, he said it directly to his old acquaintance, Major General Burke.

Based on the seriousness of this incident and the fact that Orleans Island is the opponent's hometown, Major General Burke decided to personally lead a team to handle this matter.

Counting the time, it's almost here.

......

a few minutes ago.

The waters near Orleans Island.

Three large warships sailed at high speed in the shape of wild geese.

On the deck of the warship in the middle.

A sturdy man with gauntlets on his hands and a uniform of justice stood quietly.

This person is none other than the prestigious Rear Admiral of the Navy Branch, Doyle Burke.

Burke stared blankly in the direction of Orleans Island.

When he thought of his relatives and friends whose blood had been sucked out and whose bodies had become shriveled, grief and anger surged into his heart unconsciously.

At this time...

Burke's deputy, Brigadier General Balor, helped a man with bandages wrapped around his body and walked to Burke's side.

Burke looked at the bandaged wounded man with a worried look on his face.

"Rister, how are your injuries?"

"It's okay, I can't die."

Lister said guiltily: "I neglected my duty and failed to stop Baker Hughes."

Burke waved his hand, "It's not your fault, it's because the Blood Sword is too strong."

When I saw the dying Riester, I thought he would not survive.

suddenly...

A soldier trotted up.

"report!"

"After receiving a communication from Orleans Island, two men claiming to be bounty hunters broke into the mayor's house."

"One of them is suspected to be "Blood Sword" Baker Hughes! "

When the three generals heard this, their expressions changed.

After learning the details, Major General Burke issued the order.

"Let the people over there not be impulsive, don't provoke each other, and wait for us to arrive!"

"Notify, go full speed ahead!"

"Yes!"

......

the other side.

The two left the mayor's house and walked towards the direction where the boat was parked.

On the way, Hughes pondered the information about the tragedy.

Although they knew some details, they had no good way to find the perpetrator.

Suddenly, Hughes thought of Lafitte.

Although he was not sure that the man with wings was Lafitte, he could only start from this point.

blu blu~

Hughes took out his phone and dialed the "Secret Garden" communication.

"Boss lady."

"Brother Hughes, do you have any advice?"

"Can you help me collect information on the whereabouts of Devil Sheriff Lafitte?"

Hughes added: "Money is no object."

"Well...it's a little difficult, but you can try it."

"Thank you."

"Don't skip the account."

After hanging up the communication, Ed next to him glanced at both sides of the street and reminded: "Hughes."

"I know." Hughes nodded slightly.

"They'll pop out on their own pretty quickly."

He had already noticed that someone had been secretly following them since they came out of the mayor's house.

No need to think about it, the mayor and the housekeeper must have done something about it.

Soon, they exited the crowded area and stopped.

Because a dense wall of people in front blocked their way.

tata tao~

Hughes looked around at the soldiers who surrounded the two of them.

"Not only the navy, but also the guards from the city are here."

Ed pulled off the chains on his body and got into a fighting stance.

Hughes also held Xia Chan and the Blood Sword in his hands, and the situation was about to break out.

for a long time.

The soldiers continued to besiege and did not attack, making no other moves.

Hughes suddenly blurted out: "They're buying time."

"Get started, carve out a passage to break out of the encirclement, don't get entangled."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hughes rushed forward.

Two sabers swung out afterimages, cutting down each soldier to the ground.

Ed swung the chain to block the incoming bullet and followed closely behind Hughes.

At this time...

A dense sound of footsteps came from a distance, from far to near.

"trouble..."

Hughes felt a headache when he thought about the steady stream of troops rushing towards him.

"Single scabbard!"

The single sword scabbard instantly understood, and after being sheathed, it floated up.

boom!

Hughes jumped up and motioned to Ed.

swoosh~

Ed quickly threw the chain.

After Hughes grabbed the chain, he stepped on the scabbard of his single sword and took Ed flying up, trying to directly cross the encirclement of soldiers.

At this time...

Major General Burke has led the army not far away.

Seeing Baker Hughes trying to fly out of the encirclement with his accomplices, he stepped on it and disappeared immediately.

shave!

moon step!

Major General Burke quickly reached above Hughes in a few flashes.

Then he raised his armored iron fist and slammed it down from above!

"Don't try to escape!"

Hughes reacted quickly and held the good sword Xia Chan in front of him.

boom!

He blocked the attack.

But the plan to fly directly away from the combat area also came to nothing.
