On August 20, 1379, the Glory of Medland, at noon.

The sound of 'rumble' steps broke the tranquility of Mount St. Hilde. The brigade of Imperial Army soldiers wearing iron-gray uniforms were like long gray snakes, blocking the entry and exit passages of Mount St. Hilde.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, several main battleships of the Jiasica Island Squadron were hanging full of sails, swimming in the shallow seas of Qiantan and Houtan areas. All the gun doors were opened, revealing their dark muzzles.

At the entrance of the winding mountain highway leading to the outside of St. Hilde Mountain, two artillery regiments were on high alert, and one field cannon shone with a blue-black cold light in the sun.

All field guns were loaded with shotguns and were ready to be bombarded at any time.

Joe sat in a four-wheeled carriage and poked half of his body out of the window. He held a document with the Governor of the Southern Special Zone of the Delun Empire in his hand, and even more of the official seal of Duke Ross.

A total of ten major generals of the Imperial Army with stars shining on their shoulders, together with a large group of fully armed school officials, rode war horses and surrounded Qiao's four-wheeled carriage galloping along the winding mountain road to the top of the mountain.

The summit area of ​​Mount St. Hilde overlooks the entire Tulum Harbor, and can also cross the Golden Wool Headland and the Silver Cow's Headland, and overlook the sea view outside the Storm Ocean.

If you are in the weather with the best view of sunshine and cloudless, standing at the commanding heights of the mountain top area, you can even see the island of Jiasica looming on the sea.

The mountain of St. Hilde is not large, so the summit area is limited. Those who can own a mansion in the summit area are all the oldest and most powerful nobles in Tulun Port.

Just like the Welles family, one of the seven-member committees of Tulum Port, as the head of the indigenous forces in Tulum Port, the ancestors of the Welles family built a lighthouse with the function of a fortress in the mountaintop area more than two hundred years ago.

As time goes by, the Wells family continues to expand with this small fortress and lighthouse, eventually forming a luxurious manor that is huge in scale and occupy almost one-tenth of the land in the top area.

In the top area, those who are neighbors with the Wells family are all famous figures in Tulum Harbor.

For example, Marquis of Vigral von Hintonburg, the inspector general of the Inspectorate of the Southern Special District of the Dren Empire, was composed of Tren Empire Port and Storm, Claude and Winders; Marquis of the Commander of the Local Governor of the Tulum Port; Major General Longert, the President of the Tulum Port District Court, and Dogram, the Third-level Justice of the Dren Empire...

The natural environment of the mountaintop area is enough to match these famous figures.

Here, the clear springs are gurgling and ancient trees are shaded. The luxurious mansions are like works of art, almost perfectly integrated into the surrounding natural environment.

Walking on the flat street, except for the clean and smooth stone pavement, there is almost no artificial creation. Just like walking in the natural jungle, surrounded by blooming flowers and ears full of clear and pleasant bird songs. Occasionally, in the neatly carved grass on the roadside, there will be clever and cute little animals passing by.

Qiao was like a barbaric black bear, rushing around with a large group of people.

The heavy footsteps of the Imperial Army soldiers burst into pieces.

On the street, several ladies walking together, holding small parasols in their hands and leashes on their wrists. The noble women walking their dogs in the gentle sunlight made sharp screams like frightened quails.

Then, they were quickly scolded by a group of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers and drove them to the grass on the side of the road. The exquisite and expensive women's boots were quickly stained with large areas of mud.

The ladies looked at the Imperial Army soldiers running past them without a look, and watched the cannon trucks rumble past them. The pet dog they held in their hands shivered and kept barking at the passing soldiers.

A larger shepherd dog called out a few times at the soldiers. It turned back to look at its own fascinating owner, opened its mouth suddenly and bit a passing soldier.

‘Bang’!

The soldier raised his flintlock rifle without hesitation and smashed the collie's head to pieces.

Several noble ladies screamed at the same time, rolled their eyes, fainted and fell to the ground a few times. But this time, they did not have the treatment of Miss Virenya. They fell heavily on the muddy grass that had not yet dried. The luxurious clothes were dirty, but no one came to support them.

The four-wheeled carriage was galloping, the war horses were running, the soldiers were sweating profusely, and they ran forward with all their might.

The large group of people rushed forward along the clean road, and soon they arrived at the core of the mountain top area.

"Enclose it, enclose it!" Qiao blew a sharp whistle.

The soldiers quickly spread around and ran quickly along forks, surrounding the entire Wells family's manor in the mountaintop area. Especially the gate and the back door were blocked by dozens of field cannons respectively.

Joe jumped out of the carriage, pulled the uniform on his body, tidied up the sterling silver police helmet on his head, and walked to the thick bronze door of Wells' house, pulled out the lead-filled copper baton at his waist, and stole it on the door for more than a dozen times.

Qiao is very strong now, and the baton is like a siege hammer, poking deep depressions on the half-foot-thick bronze gate, almost making a hole in the bronze gate.

There was a loud noise from the gate, and an angry and messy roar came from the courtyard behind the gate.

Qiao coughed, raised her head and shouted loudly and majesticly: "In the name of the law, I order you to open the door and cooperate with our actions!"

With a 'boom' sound, the door of Wells' house slowly opened.

It is worthy of being the number one rich family in the seven-member committee family. When the gate of the Wells family opened, a clear sound of gear impacts came from the thick door shaft, and a dull "puff" sound of steam sounded underground.

Joe couldn't help but grin. He was so proud that the main entrance of Wells Manor was actually an automatic door driven by the power of a steam engine.

Dozens of Wells' guards, holding more than a dozen grinning teeth, with ugly but huge mastiffs rushed out. A middle-aged man dressed as a native of Jiasica, cursed angrily: "Who is it? You dare to be at Wells' house..."

The middle-aged man couldn't finish his words.

He subconsciously opened his mouth, and the cigarette at the corner of his mouth fell to the ground with a "splash".

In front of him were field cannons emitting metallic cold light in the sun, soldiers standing in a neat manner, ten major generals of the Imperial Army with golden stars flashing on their epaulettes, and a large number of fully armed senior officers.

In the Delun Empire, military rank means strength!

"You..." The middle-aged man's face turned pale. He was old enough, and he inexplicably remembered the past forty years ago. That time, an army once blocked the door...

"In the name of imperial law, under the order of the Governor of the Southern Special Zone of the Empire and the Duke of Gassica, I order you to put down your weapons and not to make any abnormal movements, and let all the people of the Wells family line up and cooperate with our next actions."

Qiao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his heart was filled with inexplicable pleasure.

Dogg Jun Wells, the direct member of the Wells family, the big boss of the Wells family guards, and the "mortal enemy" who has a "deep hatred" with Joe!

When Joe's brother Gorkin took Joe to fight with the dandy members of the Wells family on the streets of Tulum Port, Dog used the big to bully the small and attacked Gorkin many times...

Even Dog once indulged in vicious dogs and almost bite Gorkin and Joe.

Looking at Dogge with a pale face, Joe smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line. He raised the official document in his hand and poked Dogge's stomach hard: "Mr. Dogge... The weather is really good today."

Dog whimpered, covered his stomach with both hands, and couldn't help but bent down.

Qiao's physical strength was more than 100,000 pounds at this moment. With a random poke, Duoge caught him off guard and felt that a hole had been poked out of his stomach, and his internal organs were spasming and twitching violently.

The guards of the Wells family behind Dog, nervously grabbed the handle of the musket hanging around their waists.

But the Imperial soldiers around the gate raised the flintlock rifle in their hands at the same time. Major General Doron and others took a step forward at the same time. An inexplicable pressure came. The guards were stiff and they stood there one by one without daring to move.

"Joe... Master..." Dogge was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth, looked at Joe, and hissed: "I think there must be some misunderstandings. Our Wells family has always abide by the law... Our head of the family..."

"Abide by the law? No, I have evidence provided by the Haydn family, proving that your Wells family is involved in murder, smuggling, rape, undermining judicial justice, providing military supplies to the rebel party, conspiracy and rebellion and other serious crimes."

Joe took out a thick kraft envelope from his pocket and shook it hard: "In addition, you are colluding with heretics... Although those heretics were found in the warehouse secret room of the Kaban family, their confessions include one of your Wells family."

Dog's body shook violently, and he hissed: "This is a false accusation!"

Dogg gritted his teeth and admitted other charges. The Wells family did do these things.

But colluding with heretics... bastards, they really don't!

Joe approached Dog's ear and chuckled softly: "Ah, is it a false accusation? Oh, maybe, but... who cares? Anyway, the confession asked by Archbishop Loren himself, your Wells family is colluding with heresy, and the evidence is conclusive, and you can't escape!"

"Put down your weapon!" Qiao suddenly roared in Dog's ear.

Doge jumped up in fear. Qiao swung the baton in his hand and slashed heavily on his shoulder. With the terrifying sound of bone cracks, half of Doge's body collapsed and he fell to the ground with blood spitting on the ground.

"Advance!" Qiao said in a deep voice: "The Wells family is definitely unwilling to surrender. We must attack!"

"No, Wells, I'm willing to cooperate with your actions."

The crisp, cold woman's voice came from the manor. Wearing a fur-red palace dress, the gorgeous Hennewei raised her hands and slowly walked out of the door with a large group of people.

Hainiwei looked at Qiao with a cold look: "Hisser Qiao, I am amazed by what you did... Very good, very good, I look forward to it. I really want to see if Tulun Port is really lawless and shamed by the imperial laws and regulations."

Qiao looked at Heiniwei deeply, and then smiled without saying a word.

The soldiers took out special steel shackles and tortured the Wells family members one by one.

Under Qiao's leadership, the large group of soldiers went from the top of the mountain to the Banshan District, from the Banshan District to Houtan District, and from Houtan District to Qiantan District.
