Early in the morning, the labor prisoners in Wolf Town were taken to the ruins of the church and cleared the ruins under the supervision of militia.

The militia not only were responsible for supervision, but also participated in reconstruction work and did some relatively easy work.

The charcoal mud and black ash must be shoveled away, the overfire of the scorched wood must be cleaned, and the stone slabs and bricks must be picked out and taken to the river to clean.

Wolf Town is very small, and the buildings can be counted with one hand.

The church became lively, and the town center was like a busy construction site.

Building a church is a grand event wherever it is, and for many believers, it is even more sacred and glorious than building water conservancy and paving roads.

So everyone works extremely hard, even the "slave labor" that is forced to work.

However, on such a major occasion, the garrison of Montagne did not appear.

The commander on the scene was his deputy, Mr. Mitchell.

It wasn't Winters deliberately avoiding it, but because the fire had already hit his eyebrows and there were more urgent things to deal with.

While everyone was burying their heads to clear the ruins, in the Lang Town military camp across the road, a man with blood on his clothes was awakened by a bucket of cold water.

"Name, belonging." The interrogation voice was very cold, not even like asking questions.

The man hasn't come back to his senses, and his eyes have not yet adapted to the light.

He looked at the interrogator in a daze, and immediately took a punch under his ribs. Only then did he realize that there were two other interrogators in the dim room.

"Name, belonging."

The man was so painful that he gasped in a cold air. He spoke hard and said intermittently: "I am...I am Sergeant Gulahi of the Revodan garrison..."

"Evidence." The cold voice continued to ask.

"Sir...how could you not recognize my identity?"

The light was poor, but Gulahi could still see that the other party was wearing an officer's uniform.

In fact, he had already recognized the uniform when the battle last night.

The most important thing is that Gulahi has been a soldier for more than ten years, and he can recognize the tone, attitude, accent and style of the other party's speech at a glance.

Because I have lived in the Union Province all year round, orthodox officers will unconsciously bring out a little accent in front of the mountain when speaking, which is impossible to pretend.

Even Gulahi couldn't recognize this. He just listened to the other party and was in the officer's "tongue".

"Clothes can't tell anything." The officer was unmoved: "Bandits can wear officer armor. Who is the commander of the Revodan garrison?"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Gulahi's heart. If the other party is not a bandit, he still has a way out: "It's still Major Ronald, it's always been."

"Everyone knows Major Ronald."

"And Captain Epel! Lieutenant Arcos! Lieutenant Elek!"

“Affiliate.”

Gulashi tried hard to report all the information that could prove his identity: "The military police of the Revodan Gendarmerie, my name is Gulashi, and many people know me..."

The interrogator waved his hand, and the person next to him punched Gulahi again.

Gulahi was almost convulsed, and now he was even more sure that the other party was an officer. And he was a serious officer, not a wild way.

"What do I ask, what do you answer."

Gulahi nodded desperately.

"You are a military policeman."

"Yes." Gulahi didn't dare to speak more.

"You are a military policeman, what are you running for?"

"I..." Gulahi felt a little aggrieved, and he said carefully: "You chased me first, and I ran away..."

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

And it sounded very convincing, and Winters had the idea of ​​killing him out--he was also very hungry.

In troubled times, human life is really not as good as grass.

"No." Winters patted Samujin on the shoulder: "We are not bandits, we are the army. Even if we want to kill, we must kill in the right place and openly. Without the reason for food, we cannot reach the death penalty, and it is even more untenable. There are only three, so let's keep it closed first."

"Yes." Samujin was very focused.

He didn't quite understand what the centurion meant, but he did whatever the centurion said, without hesitation at all.

Winters had some inspiration and said with a smile: "Since you can't give them iron tools, just give them a few bales of straw and straw branches. Let them weave baskets and straw sandals, and don't give them food if they don't weave. People who don't work can't eat it! I'm going to pull a big saw and chop wood, but they can eat for nothing. It's really unfair."

Samujin also smiled, revealing two rows of untidy teeth: "Yes, I'll do it."

"Don't set your goal too high on the first day." Winters smiled and asked, "Go ahead step by step, slowly build up."

"Yes, I understand, don't worry." Sa Mujin smiled like crescent moon and agreed.

Samujin left, leaving Winters alone in the tent.

Winters' mind was filled with many things that were not related to each other and involved, and he needed to sort out his thoughts little by little.

In the border town where there was no strange face for several months, three groups of people suddenly came in one day - to be precise, four groups of people.

It was enough for Winters to take out each group of visitors alone to have a headache for a long time, but fate is so ruthless. Not only did they come, but they also rushed to the same place.

The most infuriating thing was that Revodan's reconnaissance cavalry, the military police of the garrison chased Wolf Town all the way, but fortunately they were discovered by the post arranged by Winters.

First, there was a battle of lightning, and then a pursuit all night long. Winters finally solved all the six scouts, without any of them running away.

Through interrogation and the previous broken information, Winters inferred two points:

First, the political stance of the Xinkendi Legion was ambiguous, and they did not choose Blue Rose or Red Rose. The province of Xinkendi has not yet been divided and still gathered under the banner of the Xinkendi Legion;

According to the news that Winters found out, a total of three teams entered the Xinken Land to collect grain and seize wheat fields. Winters was still very surprised at that time, who was the third party outside the Red and Blue Rose? Now it seems that it is General Adams's Xinken Land Legion.

Second, Rewodan has not noticed the abnormal movements in Langtun Town yet, and he doesn't even know that he is still alive, so he naturally has no plans to attack Langtun Town - for the time being.

Winters' actions were very cautious. Except for the "ambush grain collection team", nothing he did exceeded the power and responsibility of the "town officer".

Militia?

The officials stationed in the town have the right to summon militias.

Suppressing bandits?

The officials stationed in the town are already responsible for public security and combating bandits.

Let the bandits be subject to hard labor? Public trial of the bandits?

Local judicial power is also in the hands of the town officials.

Cross-border law enforcement?

This Revodan really doesn't care. Hei Shui Town has to file accusations first, but Hei Shui Town is too happy.

On the land of the Palatu military, the officers stationed in the town had the status of feudal lords, which is not a false statement.

Based on what Winters did, Revodan should not only not punish him, but also gave him a one-ton medal - not including the robbery of the grain truck.

At present, the conflict between Winters and Gervodan only occurs at one point: Gervodan wants food, but Winters doesn't want to give it to, and if he gives it to the people, there is no way out.

In fact, there is another point of contradiction that is difficult to detect and does not directly confrontation: the land of the Palatu military was sent to the refugees for reclaiming.

As for when will Revodan discover that the robbery of the grain collection team is related to Wolf Town?

Winters thinks it's a matter of time sooner or later.

The convoy was walking on the main road and it was impossible not to leave any traces. The villages and towns along the way were witnesses.

But Wolf Town is too remote, and Winters is "inflicted" and is careful, so it has not been exposed yet.

Recently, when Qinghuang was not in the process, Rewodan did not send a grain collection team to Wolf Town again, so it did not trigger a second confrontation.

Moreover, according to the confession of the military police sergeant, the robbery of the grain collection team had happened more than once, and other cases distracted Revodan.

However, Winters had met the officers of the Rhodean garrison.

He visited Major Ronald's home, and Captain Epel and other seniors warmly welcomed him.

Those alumni are smart people, all received the same education and training as him.

Sooner or later, they will eventually notice the abnormalities in Wolf Town.

They might pretend to be confused, maybe they want to expose it gently, or they waved their punches and smashed it down, and Winters didn't know what to welcome.

But Winters already has some plans, thanks to Father Kaman.

The information Carman brought back was very valuable. He had been with the remnants of the Expeditionary Force before, so...Winters had to go to Revodan.

As for Father Kaman's church, its importance is slightly higher than "finding some milk-inducing food for Mitchell's hunting dogs", and far less than "the charcoal in the blacksmith's place has not been enough to burn", so Winters threw it directly to Pierre for the responsibility.

Just as he thought of Pierre, Pierre came.

"You need to go there on the church." Pierre rarely talks nonsense now.

"What's the matter?" Winters didn't care: "Will you just build a wooden shed and use it for Kaman first?"

Pierre smiled: "You still have to come to the groundbreaking ceremony."
