Chapter 1848


    “What?” Jasmine was shocked as his expression turned shocked.


    The City-State Union was in disarray with many stray mercenary regiments of all sizes. Some


    mercenary regiments were too small to take on enough tasks to support themselves, so they


    sometimes partook in bandit raids.


    Jasmine knew about these too, but he had no idea someone would be so bold as to raid Dorodo‘s town


    and kidnap the poor residents!


    “Why hasn’t Quentin contacted me? Doesn’t he…”


    Before Jasmine could finish his sentence, the phone on the desk rang suddenly. Needless to say, it


    must be Quentin on the phone.


    Jasmine answered the phone immediately, and Quentin‘s voice came through the phone.


    “Commander Astor, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the poor people who went out to work in the fields


    through the west city gate were arrested by a gang of…”


    “I’ve heard of it. I’m preparing to deploy soldiers to exterminate all stray mercenary regiments… No,


    stray bandits in the vicinity of Dorodo. I will also bring back all the poor people who have been


    captured,” Jasmine said solemnly.


    Quentin was relieved to hear Jasmine’s promise but said, “Hurry, Commander Astor. You must hurry!


    Those who went out to work in the fields are basically women with no protection. The consequences


    would be unimaginable. ”


    “I see. I’ll hurry.”


    Jasmine hung up and ordered Nirina to gather the city defense soldiers.


    ording to the information Nirina had gathered, about 20 poor women were captured, and there were


    40 to 50 stray bandits armed with weapons and fast horses.


    The west city gate was now closed. With 200 city defense soldiers, Jasmine rode fast horses out of the


    east city gate and searched the wilderness for traces of the stray bandits.


    There were many horseshoe prints on the west of Dorodo.


    Following these horseshoe prints, it would not be difficult to find the gang of bandits who had taken the


    poor women.


    “Come on. Let’s go after them!” Jasmine ordered, waving his hand.

    200 city defense soldiers followed Jasmine and Nirina and galloped toward the direction the bandits


    had left.


    Jasmine and the rest caught up with a stray mercenary regiment after about an hour.


    The stray mercenary regiment was small-only more than 20 people. They were not the gang of bandits


    who had taken the women.


    Jasmine frowned and ignored the regiment, continuing the chase with city defense soldiers.


    While chasing, Jasmine told Nirina to take some beans out of a bag and sprinkled them on the ground.


    These beans had been soaked in a special medicinal liquid that would exude a pungent smell for a


    long time.


    The city defense army’s specially trained hounds could pick up the pungent scent from afar.


    “It’s getting dark…” Nirina said helplessly to Jasmine after looking up.


    “No time to rest. Keep chasing! I don’t believe I can‘t keep up with those damn b*stards!”


    Jasmine rarely used profanity, but he could not help it this time. He was furious at the thought of the


    inhuman treatment those poor women would have suffered at the hands of the bandits.


    As the night darkened, Jasmine and his men saw several bright fires from afar.
