EWT, the Emperor's Wallet. Compared with other secret agencies of the empire, the existence of EWT is more vague and more like an urban legend.
As a secret government agency, they will investigate and collect information on illegal activities of some companies, but at the same time, more rumors are circulating that they steal corporate secrets.
Just like their name, illegal companies were confiscated because of them, they also collected technical information from various industries for the empire, and they made countless fortunes for the royal aristocratic faction headed by the Senate.
If they are not caught in the act, they are just a bunch of civil servants.
If caught in the act, they could also be legal thieves.
"Be careful! It's a vampire!" With the help of others, Toby got rid of the riot net and shouted loudly when he stood up.
Something happened in Bear Pig Town. Two thieves who stole from the Spring Branch hid among the crowd in the town to avoid being hunted by the academy.
Although they were good at hiding and disguising themselves, they were eventually discovered by the women in the town. As the townspeople deliberately targeted them, they were rounded up by the young and strong men in the town.
Irwin Farm and Gena Lumberyard mobilized personnel to organize a manhunt, and with the cooperation of the townspeople, facing the ubiquitous cold guns, it was almost certain that the two thieves would be caught.
However, perhaps they were well prepared. Two sudden vampires tried to help them escape from the town, which resulted in the current situation. Dozens of young and strong men drove vehicles, carrying weapons and swords, and started hunting them down.
"Tread~step~"
“Buzz~buzz~buzz~~”
Amid the roar of the locomotive engine, the wild horse stamped its hooves anxiously.
Stun guns, net guns, live ammunition firearms, chain javelins, and all kinds of weapons with restraint effects were pointed at the two vampires in an orderly manner.
Two vampires were trapped in the crowd. They were breathing heavily and had ferocious expressions, but facing the encirclement more than ten meters away, they did not dare to act rashly.
Dodging the electric locks shot out from the crowd, the net guns pointed in front made the vampires dare not advance easily.
The dozens of net guns surrounding them were enough to cover all angles of escape for the two vampires.
These riot nets made of alloy wire can easily cut into the skin of a struggler. Even two vampires with a level of 300+ dare not be tied up by such riot nets.
Because they didn't know what type of exorcism bullets these damn townspeople were using, and they didn't want to be pierced by those chained spears.
Throughout history, humans have been summarizing their experience in hunting creatures with greater power.
It’s just that some people give up those experiences and complacently accept a life where they are protected in all aspects by others.
But there was no doubt that the two vampires, including the two EWT members held on their waists, had no doubt that the other side had regarded them as prey when facing the young and strong men around them who were shouting and coordinating with each other.
Yes, prey. These young men were obviously more interested in the two vampires than the two thieves.
Vampires of level 300+ are a deadly threat to them.
But at the same time, the two vampires can also provide them with a lot of level experience, which is simply a real tonic. The most important thing is that they broke the law first.
There was a strange light flashing in the eyes of the young man holding the weapon, but facing these ants, the vampire couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The two men seemed to see themselves being entangled in wire mesh, bound by iron chains, electrocuted, shot, and impaled on wooden stakes by the crowd. Amid the cheers of ants, they were burned into abstract mummies by flames.
"Damn it, think of a solution quickly! Kill them and you will be responsible!?" The two trapped vampires said to the two EWT members among their opponents.
The weapons in the hands of these humans pose a threat to them, but these humans themselves are too weak, so it is not impossible for them to break out.
However, if they were to use their extraordinary powers to carry out a massacre here and if no one were to cover for them, they would probably face a hunt even more brutal than they are now.
"No, your mission is to help us evacuate. We don't hire killers!" The faces of the two EWTs changed suddenly. Although the people around them looked like thugs, they were all citizens of the empire. They were all citizens who had conflicts with the thieves. They could not bear the responsibility of massacring civilians in public.
"Give up resistance and raise your hands! Put your hands where we can see them!" When the two vampires were angry, shouts came from the encirclement.
"Stop! What are you doing! Anton! Hansen! Frank! Put down your guns! You are committing a crime!" Toby followed with a stern rebuke.
But outside the encirclement, Toby, dressed in police uniform, was scolding several young men holding large-caliber guns.
But in the eyes of the four people who were surrounded, the security team member looked furious, but the bastard even put away his gun and kept shouting, but he was always wandering around the periphery. It would be better if his pretentious attitude was not too obvious.
"Toby, they invaded the academy, they stole Mu Hua's things, and these bastards also injured Mrs. Ording. What are the guards doing? We are helping you!" A middle-aged man in the crowd, holding a weapon similar to a spear gun, shouted to Toby.
"Shit! Put your hands up!" Very good, following the middle-aged man's shout, Toby actually drew his gun, but the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the two vampires. His quick reaction made the four surrounded people's eyelids twitch.
As the two sides confronted each other, more onlookers gathered on the street in the distance. Amidst the pointing and talking, some young boys who came too close were scolded and driven away by the riders. Some older townspeople around even tried to maintain order in the surrounding area.
"What should we do?" After putting down the two EWT members, a vampire looked around and asked.
"Wait a moment, until more security teams arrive, we can communicate with the sheriff here." Dragging an injured leg, the brown-haired middle-aged man said, holding his companion's shoulder.
The guards are civil servants, the EWT are also civil servants, and they all benefit from the state budget. Compared with the civilians in the town, to some extent, they and the guards are one and the same.
Although the guard named Toby seemed to be unruly, if a sheriff came instead, he would probably do his best to protect them. Even if he was arrested and imprisoned, it would be better than letting them fall into the hands of a group of unruly people.
At this point, the two EWTs made it clear that they were not afraid of being caught, but they just didn't want to fall into the hands of the townspeople or the academy.
But as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the expressions of the two vampires changed.
"No, we are still on the list of the fallen, and the blood clan here will not let us go." A vampire's eyes flashed coldly.
"So what do you want to do? Fight your way out? Don't forget, there are still Night Hunters here! If you want to leave, go on your own and don't involve us!"
An EWT supported his injured companion, and while speaking, he raised his arm, distanced himself from the two vampires, and signaled to the people around him that he was harmless. (End of this chapter)
