Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 345: Heaven and Earth Net (Subscription Request)
When something is both morally high and profitable, the enthusiasm shown by the public is absolutely beyond imagination.

That same evening, the strong men drawn from various major forces arrived in place.

Most of the troops from the Seventh Mixed Legion are magic gunners who are proficient in long-range shooting. Each of them is equipped with a magic rifle, and it is easy for them to take someone's life within three or four hundred meters.

At this distance, even a third-level extraordinary fighting spirit slash cannot reach it.

Of course, in addition to the magic gunners, there is also a group of knights with thick skin and strong bodies, equipped with heavy armor, who can break the teeth and claws of vampires.

The people coming from the Church of the Seven Gods are a combination of priests and temple guards.

With the presence of a priest, life is protected, and with various divine arts, the restraint on vampires is also obvious.

As for the temple guards, regardless of their individual strength, they are best at teamwork, and the formation they form can also summon divine protection.

It is not easy to kill a pure-blooded marquis, but even if the pure-blooded marquis wants to kill them, it will not be done in a short time. The restraining effect is quite obvious.

As for the Philante School of Magic, it directly maintains the critical state of the Mage Tower.

A group of mage apprentices are assisting, and two third-level extraordinary mages are in charge. They really need to seize the opportunity.

All kinds of high-level magic are cast down, and even a fourth-level natural disaster will be in trouble!

Of course, when so many forces come together, the most troublesome thing is actually to organize them effectively.

However, this is when the role of the Police Department comes into play.

After working overtime all night, the director of the police department came up with a complete plan.

They divided the entire city into nine areas based on the existing outposts in the city.

Patrol teams in these areas are led by police, accompanied by priests and guards from the temple, and soldiers from the Seventh Legion.

As for the magic gunners, they occupied high ground, formed cross fire, and monitored all directions.

In addition, a group of powerful warriors were drawn out, all of whom were combat professionals of level two or above, accompanied by high-level priests, and led by a level three transcendent.

There are three such teams, each responsible for three adjacent areas. As soon as they receive the signal, they will rush to provide assistance.

And this signal is divided into three levels!
The first level, suspected vampires, supported by a team.

At the second level, the enemy is strong and all three teams are surrounded.

If it reaches the third level, it means the identity of the vampire is confirmed, and all the strong men in the city will be mobilized, and whoever grabs it will own it.

It was not just honor and fame, but also 10,000 gold tyres from the Roy Fitz Group, which was actually delivered to his hands.

It can be said that this set of strategies is like an airtight net that covers the entire city of Auckland.
That pure-blooded Marquis, even if he was a moth, would eventually be caught if he were allowed to flutter around.

Of course, the most active are the people of Auckland.

On the day that Loy made the announcement, a group of well-informed people took complete action and reported all the places where insane people were running around in Oakland.

The funniest thing is that there are many gang members among these people.

Some of them thought that their boss was acting sneaky, so they sold out their boss.

Although none of it had anything to do with pure-blooded vampires, the Police Department did gain a lot of extra benefits.

The next day, when the newspaper was spread and the news spread completely, the whole city of Auckland was in an uproar.

I don't know how many people said that money doesn't matter, but the face of the people of Auckland cannot be lost.

So, now everyone they see is suspicious.

Even if it is a dog on the street, you have to kick it a few times to see if it is a vampire bat transformed.

This is of course disadvantageous. Too much messy information can easily disrupt your vision.
But the benefits are also obvious, that is, some things that were really wrong have been uncovered.

There is always darkness beneath the light.

Especially in the old continent which has been passed down for who knows how many years, there are definitely many strange and evil things, demon messengers, devil believers, etc.

With the full-scale search these past few days, those who were originally hiding can no longer hide.

However, with the full cooperation of many forces, the enemy was strangled cleanly.

In just a few days, several murder cases were solved, three devil followers were arrested, and five devil messengers were killed.
We even found a believer in the god of death, the necromancer.

In fact, it is not true that these people are that strong. They just occasionally get some evil items, are contaminated by evil auras, or are tempted and corrupted.

Their greatest characteristic is secrecy. They can naturally hide in the dark without anyone knowing.

But once they are exposed, they become lambs to be slaughtered.

However, although there is a lot of information about vampires, there is really nothing to discover.

But everyone still showed considerable enthusiasm. There was no other way, Luo Yi gave too much.

When they came, they had never thought that there would be money to be made for such patrols.

Luo Yi was generous enough. He gave ten gold Tiers to third-level extraordinary people a day, five to second-level extraordinary people, and one to first-level extraordinary people. Everyone would have one and they would be given it after get off work.

This kind of work can earn them a month's salary in three to five days. How can they not be happy?
Besides, those cases related to evil things that were discovered before, although they had nothing to do with vampires, Roy still gave rewards.

There are rewards for reporting, rewards for investigating, rewards for handling cases, and even more rewards for fighting...

Luo Yi used his actual actions to tell everyone that he never brags, because his bragging can always come true. The result is, tiredness?
impossible!

Enthusiasm can last forever!
The turning point came on the fifth day, when a drunkard saw a man passing by him in a daze.

Normally, it shouldn't be too common for people to pass each other by, but this person covered it up too well.

He was wearing a grey coat with the collar turned up, covering the lower half of his face, and a black hat with the brim pulled even lower.

At first glance, it seemed as if not even a bit of skin was exposed.

The drunkard yelled almost without thinking: "Vampire, stop!"

His voice was not loud, but in the quiet night, it could be heard from far away.

The man accelerated almost instinctively, like a phantom, and cut the drunkard's throat.

But the sound had already been transmitted, and the patrol team at the corner of the street just arrived and encountered the scene of murder to silence the witnesses.

Without any further ado, a flare was fired.

Then, the temple priests began to chant, the knights of the Seventh Legion were in the front, and the temple guards held spears and surrounded from both sides!
Even the policemen were holding their batons, looking excited to try.

There's no way around it. Being a spectator and going up and waving a few batons at them have two different prices.

After seeing this scene, the man no longer had any thoughts of fighting and turned around to flee.

He was extremely fast, his movements were like a ghost, and he was accompanied by many phantoms.

But after running a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

Then, there was a gunshot, and a bullet passed by him, making a small hole in the ground.

That was the magic gunner standing on a high place in the house who made the move. Few people were willing to withstand the power of the magic rifle.

At this moment, a divine light descended from the sky and landed on him. Then, an evil light suddenly lit up, causing everyone's charging movements to come to a halt.

The first thing this temple priest from Torm, the god of justice, prayed for was a detection spell called: Detect Evil!

As the name suggests, it is used in the name of God to distinguish whether the recipient is evil or good. Sometimes, it is also used to solve cases and distinguish true from false.

However, this magic also has its shortcomings, because evil and killing cannot be equated.

For example, there is a battle-hardened temple guard who has killed hundreds of demons and pagans, but to say that he is evil is biased.

Therefore, even within the church, there are many considerations and controversies regarding the use of this divine art.

Of course, there has never been a better time than now.

A 'Detect Evil' signal was sent out, and the evil aura coming out of the man meant that at least hundreds of people had died at his hands, and it was recent.

At this moment, everyone realized that they might have found the real culprit.

It was just a moment of hesitation, and everyone charged forward even faster.
Everyone seemed to be the bravest warrior, with yellow and orange gold flashing in their eyes.

At this moment, the man knew he could no longer hide it, and he unleashed his true fighting power.

Even when surrounded by a crowd, he was able to move freely thanks to his speed, and his body was covered with blood light that could corrode weapons and armor.

From time to time, he would cast one or two strange blood spells, either to control, or to stun, to weaken, or to cause blood to flow backwards, which frightened everyone.

The combat power he displayed naturally did not reach the level of a pure-blooded marquis, but it was at least at the level of an earl, comparable to a third-order transcendent.

The patrol team was able to maintain its status thanks to the priest's magic and the constant sound of gunfire from above.

But getting hurt is inevitable.

At this moment, they were even risking their lives to drag the vampire until the support team arrived.

The support team was led by a third-order transcendent who was from the Seventh Mixed Legion and followed the path of a magic gunner.

He held a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other, and he attacked quickly and strangely, thus limiting the man's speed.

Without the advantage of speed, he was surrounded, with magic gunners waiting for an opportunity to shoot, and with divine suppression...

At this moment, even if he had the third-level combat power, he was still rushing left and right, surrounded by danger.

However, they failed to capture the vampire after all. Seeing that things could not be avoided, the vampire directly used the forbidden technique of the blood clan, and endless shrill screams were heard.

Everyone just felt a headache, their faces showed pain, their movements became sluggish, and they couldn't even hold their weapons.

Even the third-level extraordinary being staggered and kept retreating.

Fortunately, the vampire did not continue to attack, but turned into bats and fled quickly.

This battle ultimately allowed the vampire to escape, but everyone's spirits were still high.

Because once the vampire reveals his true colors, it won’t be long before his lair is discovered.

The Police Department immediately made arrangements. They conducted a carpet search five kilometers outward with this location as the core.

The target is not only the buildings on the ground, but also the underground secret rooms and drainage pipes.

The focus of the investigation is not the civilians, but the wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families in the area.
