Before he finished speaking, the responder had already leaped at him.
Walei wanted to draw his sword, but it was too late. His hand had just touched the hilt when the opponent's fist smashed into his face.
Walei saw stars from the punch, screamed as he fell, and felt his throat get clutched while his eye sockets, nose bridge, and cheekbones were pummeled again.
After venting his anger, the responder stood up. He spat, revealing a pair of wolf-like sharp teeth, and laughed fiercely: "Indeed, I'm not here to deliver shells, Provincial Guy!"
But Major Walei couldn't hear or respond anymore; the major had been beaten unconscious, with only a low groan coming from his throat.
The man with wolf-like sharp teeth—Major Seber Carrington—stood with hands on his hips, kicked the major at his feet, and ordered, "Tie up this Provincial Guy for me. Don't let him escape."
Two horsemen immediately ran over, tied the major up tightly, placed him on a horse, and rode off.
