Chapter 299 Scout

North Wind Castle, Town Hall Square.

"Dear citizens, please abide by the kingdom's order!"

Mantou rode his flying dragon around the city again and again, shouting through a loud speaker, occasionally attracting envious or awe-inspiring glances from the people below.

As the number of players increases rapidly, the ways they use to cause trouble increase, and they can even find loopholes in the laws of the kingdom to do some outrageous things.

As a sheriff, Mantou's workload has become unprecedentedly heavy. The southwestern urban area under his jurisdiction now has a population of more than 30,000, including nearly 5,000 players.

"Hey! Over there, don't take your clothes off in public!"

"Want to escape?"

Mantou rode the flying dragon and dived rapidly.

The wyvern stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed a naked player who was trying to disrupt social order from the ground.

Mantou turned sideways and saw the familiar face.

"It's you again, Brother Shengguang. This is the third time this month that you have deliberately exposed your body in public. Do you have anything to say to quibble?"

Brother Shengguang was naked, showing off his body curves in the air, and said calmly:
"I am just following the way of nature. Everyone is born naked. Why should we let the clumsy creation cover our bodies? In my ideal world, everyone can be honest with each other."

Mantou forced himself to suppress his desire to complain and waved his hand.

"Stop it now!"

"Citizen, you have violated Article 23 of the Kingdom's Public Security Punishment Law. You will be fined five gold coins or detained in prison for seven days. Choose one."

Mantou controlled Feilong with just his legs. He took out a small notebook and a feather pen from his backpack and began to take notes.

Brother Shengguang still replied calmly:
“Rather than paying the price for a false charge, I would rather spread the way of nature in prison and let more people understand the beauty of freedom.”

"."

"You are invincible."

After a long silence, Mantou finally uttered a few words from between his teeth.

After sending Brother Shengguang, who looked calm, to the Kingdom Prison, Mantou continued to patrol over the city.

As the city's sheriff, he not only has to manage the citizens, but also has to search for unidentified outsiders and be wary of spies sent by forces such as the northern countries, the Harpist Alliance, and even the Fadlan Empire.

Looking down at the people coming and going, Mantou let out a long sigh.

"There are so many things going on lately - it's really annoying. There are so many trivial things like this everywhere. There's no reward and it's a waste of time."

"Ouch~~"

The noodles sitting under him howled in affirmation.

The two-legged flying dragon also missed the days when it stood guard at the palace gate and ate white rice in its nest.

"Damn, the air quality is getting worse and worse. I feel choking."

"Forget it, let's continue with the mission."

Mantou stroked Noodle's slender and smooth neck, and continued to patrol the sky above the city with the Red Scale Conqueror's [Aerial Reconnaissance] skill. Icons appeared above everyone's head on the ground, indicating their name, level and even camp.

【Citizens】

【Worker】

【scholar】

Tiefling Guards

【Wealthy businessman】

Mantou looked down at the ground, and his eyes were numb from seeing all those densely packed names.

"There are more than 30,000 people in the southwest city. Catching a spy is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'm going to die of exhaustion if I keep checking them one by one."

"Wait, this is-"

Suddenly, in the crowded crowd, the eye-catching red font caught his attention.

[Bosk Principality Scout (Challenge Level: 3)]

He was a man in ordinary clothes, not very noticeable in the crowd, just like any other ordinary citizen. In the chaotic Beifeng Fort, no one would doubt his identity. It was a pity that he met a player who was cheating. Mantou suddenly became excited, he leaned down slightly, and even white smoke came out of his nostrils.

"Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Aren't gold coins and contributions coming soon?"

"Noodles, that's the guy."

"Ow~"

The wyvern nodded slightly and flapped its wings faster.

The scout on the ground seemed to have noticed the flying dragon in the sky as well. He quietly quickened his pace, trying to turn into the street corner under the cover of the crowd.

However, Mantou in the air saw it all clearly.

How could he let the duck that was right in front of his mouth fly away?
"Damn it."

The scout turned his head to look at the huge black shadow that was gradually approaching, and realized that he might have been exposed. He hurriedly took out some powder from his clothes, created thick smoke, and also created considerable chaos in the city.

"Ahem, what is this?"

"Where does the strange fog come from?"

"Is there an enemy invasion?"

People immediately started talking and were unable to open their eyes because of the smoke.

Seeing that the man's footsteps were getting faster and faster and he was about to completely merge into the crowd, Mantou whispered an order.

"We can't wait any longer, Noodles, Dragon Roar Charge!"

"Roar--"

Together, they let out a terrifying dragon roar.

At the same time, the wyvern spread its wings and swooped down rapidly from mid-air.

Under the effect of the dragon's roar, most people were frightened and stood still or even fainted on the spot. The scout's hope of escaping in the chaos of the crowd was shattered.

Even the scout who had undergone special training began to stagger under the might of the dragon's roar. After running a few steps, he stumbled and fell into a roadside stall.

Mantou shouted loudly:

"Red Scale Conqueror is on a mission! Unrelated personnel, please get out of the way!"

"He is a scout sent by the enemy!"

Running on two legs is not faster than flying on two wings, not to mention being affected by the dragon's roar.

In just a few breaths, the wyvern flew over the scout and grabbed him in mid-air with its huge claws.

"Wuhu, take off!"

Mantou rode the flying dragon and shouted happily in the air. What he caught was not only the scouts, but also a lot of gold coins and contributions.

"Damn dragon minions!"

The scout continued to struggle in mid-air.

However, the dragon's sharp claws dug into his flesh and gripped him tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.

Within a few breaths, the wyvern had already reached a height of hundreds of meters in the air. The scout calmed down, took out the hidden arrow, and wanted to use it to pierce the wings of the wyvern, hoping to take the dragon rider with him before he died.

"Die, dragon minions!"

The scout raised his right hand high and aimed at the dragon's wings.

However, the knight on the dragon's back had been paying attention to the scout's movements.

"Shh-"

The moment he stretched out his hand, Mantou swung his sword cleanly and cut off the arm along with the sleeve arrow.

Mantou wiped the bloody sword and said calmly: "Since you've been caught, isn't it okay to just surrender?"

"You still want me to crash the plane? You want to force me to hurt someone, right?"
