Chapter 204: Lord of Heaven?
"General Marit..."
"Captain Riven!"
The soldiers were so frightened that they sobered up.
Especially Crete. When he saw Riven and Marit, he was as nervous as a mouse seeing a cat.
"Crete..." Riven also had mixed feelings.
She didn't expect that she would meet Crete, her fellow countryman and childhood playmate, here.
Although the two were not very familiar with each other, Riven could still remember from her vague memory that Crete was a very honest person when he was a child.
How could such an honest boy become like this within two months of joining the imperial army?
Like her...
Well, it seems that she had only been in the army for two months when she learned how to carry out the three-all strategy in the enemy's territory.
"What is going on?" Riven put aside those subtle thoughts and just asked in a stern tone with an unhappy tone.
Marit closed the shop door and glanced out the floor-to-ceiling glass window, watching out for passers-by standing in the distance and watching.
With so many people watching, General Amistan had just issued an order to rectify the military style and enforce military discipline.
So Marit put on a righteous face and looked at the drunk soldiers with a frown: "Tell me! What are you doing?"
In fact, there is no need to say it.
What else can a Noxian soldier do when he breaks into someone's house? Either he robs them of their money or he rapes them.
Seeing Orianna crying bitterly, Riven and Marit immediately realized that these soldiers were probably robbing them of both money and women.
"My two sirs!" Riven and Marit both looked very good.
Especially Riven, with her sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and heroic face, she looks very decent at first glance.
So when they appeared here, Mr. Colin felt like he had seen a savior.
"Two sirs." He rushed forward and complained: "Please save my Orianna!"
"These soldiers were drunk and broke into my store. Not only did they take my money, they also insisted on taking my daughter away..."
"I see." Marit's frown deepened.
She didn't pay much attention to Colin, but looked at the soldiers with a gloomy face: "Hey, do you want to die? General Amistan just issued an order to rectify military discipline, and you openly disobeyed the order and ran to the street to rob money and women?"
"There are so many people from Piltover watching outside the store now - I say, are you deliberately destroying the image of the Empire?"
"I, we..." The hat is too big for them to wear.
Everyone kept silent, only the old soldier was still trembling in his defense: "General Marit, we...we are not here to rob women, we..."
"We suspect that this woman is a spy sent by the Leader, so we asked her to go back... um... to cooperate with the investigation."
"Oh, really?" Marit asked delicately.
The soldiers were so frightened that they dared not speak any more.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... You guys are really smart to have discovered the 'Wind Leader'." Marit said again.
The soldiers dared not say a word.
Orianna finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This touching scene of punishing evil and promoting good like a great Lord in heaven also made Colin feel extremely grateful .
The soldiers of Noxus may be a little vulgar, but the officers are still reasonable!
He was thinking this...
Suddenly, Marit said slowly, "Since we are investigating the leader, let's check this store carefully as well—"
"Now that there are so many people watching outside, you must check carefully and don't let the leader's spies escape."
"What?" Mr. Colin was stunned for a moment.
Orianna, who had just survived a disaster, widened her eyes in disbelief.
Riven looked at Marit with a hint of surprise, but ultimately said nothing.
Crete and several other soldiers were still standing there in confusion.
"Why are you still standing there?" Marit frowned. "Aren't you going to investigate the leader? Then start investigating!"
"I can tell you this," she said subtly, "if you can't find out anything..."
"Then tomorrow the urban gossip in Piltover will be 'Noxian soldiers abducted women' instead of 'Noxian soldiers captured the Windward spy'."
"I said..." Her voice turned cold: "General Amistan now attaches great importance to the attitude of the residents of Piltover towards Noxus."
"You guys don't want to affect the diplomatic relations between Piltover and Noxus because of your own 'work mistakes', and also damage the reputation of the Imperial Army, right?"
There was a delicate silence.
Mr. Colin realized something with despair.
The old soldier also responded in time: "I, I understand, Master Marit."
"Check—we'll check now!"
He immediately turned around and looked at Crete and the others: "Brothers, search this bandit's den carefully inside and out."
With the veterans taking the lead, the soldiers gradually realized something.
Only the rookie Crete was a little confused: "Hey? Check, check what?"
"Shut up!" The old soldier patted Crete's head unhappily.
He glanced at the passers-by watching from afar outside the window, those Piltover audiences who seemed to be waiting to see the finale, and then he lowered his voice and said:
"Stupid, of course it's 'Cha Leader'."
"As long as we find out that this woman has a relationship with the Leader, then we are not 'robbing a woman', but arresting an enemy spy with justification!"
"This will make General Amistan look good. Got it?"
"Oh..." Crete finally understood.
But he was still puzzled: "But this girl is not a leader either."
"What if we can't find anything related to the Leader in her store?"
"Stupid!" The old soldier slapped him on the head again in annoyance.
If you really want to find out something, is there anything you can't find out?
"If you can't find anything, can't you stuff something in there? If that doesn't work, just use a pen to draw a blue bird emblem of the leader!"
Crete: “…”
He finally learned it.
Although they had these conversations in a low voice to avoid the passers-by outside the store, they did not avoid Mr. Colin and Orianna in the store.
They said these words directly in front of the father and daughter .
"You, you guys?!" Colin's eyes widened in anger: "You are framing a good person..."
"Shut up!" Marit said coldly, "Cooperate well, and I can be kind enough to spare your family's lives."
"If you want to make a big deal out of this and embarrass General Amystan, don't blame me for not giving you face."
Colin was silent for a moment.
Orianna didn't even dare to cry. She pursed her pale, bloodless lips tightly, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall.
She looked very pitiful.
But Marit ignored her.
Riven was about to say something, but she finally chose to remain silent after seeing Marit's determined look.
Anyway, she had seen more pitiful tears, and she had seen a lot of them.
It's nothing.
In this way, time passed slowly in silent tears.
The soldiers who searched the store came back excitedly with the evidence:
"Captain Marit, we found it, we found it!"
"In the trash can behind this workshop, there is a piece of paper that was not burned completely—"
As he spoke, the old soldier took out a piece of paper that was burnt to a charcoal black and brown color.
If you don't look carefully, you really can't see any words on it.
But if you look closely, you will find that on this almost burnt "charcoal paper", you can vaguely make out a word:
"Janna."
"..." Orianna's face turned pale instantly.
Marit took the scrap of paper and examined it carefully, with a look of surprise on her face:
"Oh, you even know how to use fire to make it look old... Not bad, you are quite insightful."
She praised the old soldier generously.
Before doing anything, I know how to think of an excuse and leave myself a way out. When dealing with the aftermath, I know how to pay attention to details.
If everyone can be as organized as this veteran, then the military discipline of Noxus will not be a problem. Haha...
Marit was thinking this.
But the old soldier said excitedly: "No, Master Marit, this charcoal paper was not forged by me--"
"She is really related to the Leader!"
