When it comes to speed, that's not my strong point.

But we have someone who's good at it, isn't that enough?

In just a second, two figures dashed to Sir Tian's front, one from the left, and one from the right. Yes, it was Oyado and Bai Yueguang, these two individuals.

"I'm too tired, you take over," Oyado said.

"So why did you chase after him?" Bai Yueguang said, but still swiftly appeared in front of Sir Tian, stabbing at his abdomen with the hilt of his knife, then pivoting to kick his knee, causing him to kneel.

"I just came to make sure he doesn't escape," Oyado shrugged.

"You're blatantly disrespecting me, aren't you?" Bai Yueguang chuckled, then grabbed her by the back of her collar and, as her legs buckled, pushed her back to us.

Now, more onlookers crowded around.

It's understandable; it's akin to the governor getting beat up on the street, a spectacle no one wants to miss.

"Pl... please, spare me, I was wrong..."

As Sir Tian was dragged in front of us, he pleaded intermittently. I walked up to him, staring at his face.

"Spare you? We didn't do anything to you in the first place; you had your subordinates come after us, didn't you? If we weren't capable, we'd surely have been caught by you, tortured in some dungeon by now, right?"

"Yeah!" Kaliyah chimed in.

"I've seen this kind of thing many times, but my master used to advise me to act discreetly, so I didn't intervene. But now, it feels relieving to intervene for once."

Hey, you're talking as if it's none of your business, are you not one of the parties involved? And you didn't do anything just now, right?

"Well, I'm just curious about the marine creatures."

Mary said this, then walked over and asked me to step aside.

"Um... can you please not ask questions here? Let's... let's go back to the Governor's Manor. I'll do my utmost to answer your questions there."

Sir Tian said with a bitter expression, his eyes still scanning the surrounding crowd.

"Oh, now you're feeling ashamed." Mary forcefully kicked him.

"Did you not feel ashamed when you had over 200 people going after only 17 of us? Huh?"

Then she stomped hard on his shin, causing him to yelp in pain like a slaughtered pig.

Well, I'm not worried that Mary will kill this guy off; after all, his HP bar is quite visible, almost like a stamina gauge.

"Mercy, noble lady! I'm sorry! Okay, okay, just ask whatever you want after you let me go, anything as long as you release me."

He's such a wimp, I shook my head in resignation and walked over to Dale.

"Hey, get your drones to check how many troops are around here. It won't be fun if we get surrounded later."

"No worries."

Dale looked relaxed.

"I've already set up stun mines around the city perimeter with the drones. If they surround the city, I'll activate the mines; that experience will definitely be satisfying."

"So you had a plan from the start... Speaking of which, we did defeat a few hundred people; why didn't we see any battle results?"

"Probably because the governor didn't faint, so it doesn't count. Or maybe there are still people hiding nearby that I haven't detected... but that's unlikely. I've improved our system's enemy detection device, so there should be no escapees."

"Alright then."

I nodded.

"I-I-I-I'm also doing this for the good of the citizens! If we anger those sea clans, we won't stand a chance against them!"

While we were still chatting, Ms. Mary's interrogation had already begun.

She summoned an ice spike and pressed it against Governor Tian's thigh, asking questions with force, causing blood stains to appear. The person doing the laundry for Governor Tian today would probably have a headache.

"So, you're indifferent even when citizens are being attacked?"

This time, before Ms. Mary could use force, Hei Luoli rushed over and punched the other side of the ice spike.

"Ah!!"

Governor Tian cried out in pain, tears and mucus streaming down his face, teeth clenched as if they were about to break.

However, this guy was indeed of a higher rank. Despite the pain, he still managed to nod.

"Your Highness, this... is also the will of His Majesty. Although you were missing from the country for so long, you know that we do not have many troops in the country. Facing the sea clans... it's not enough."

"Hmph, don't you find it strange? Those sea clans never used to attack people, but they've been coming ashore frequently these days. Do you think they're just here for sightseeing?"

"I... I wish that were the case, but I also know that's not possible."

Governor Tian smiled bitterly.

"If you know that, then shouldn't you have all the people hide in more fortified cities? Those villages outside can't protect them at all!"

Hei Luoli looked very angry, well, that's understandable, it's for her country's people after all.

The surrounding people nodded constantly. In fact, judging by the luggage they carried, many of them were seeking refuge here.

"We were just planning to do so... Speaking of which, we received a report this morning that someone threw a sea clan member back into the sea, dressed in the attire of a Western continent mage. It's probably you guys."

Governor Tian looked at us.

"I initially thought the report was false, but it turned out to be true. It's a stroke of luck. If possible, please protect our coastal city."

We looked at each other and smiled.

"What's the matter... Oh, of course, I won't report anything about the princess, and I will provide you with a generous reward. Please rest assured."

Probably thinking that we would not accept, the other side said so.

"Don't worry, we'll protect you all."

Bai Yueguang said with a smile, of course, I knew he wasn't saying that just to protect the people.

Because in his eyes, I saw the green light of experience.
