"Captain Han?" Not only were Long Yuehong and Bai Chen surprised, but even Jiang Baimian was rather surprised.
She remembered that she had found many corpses strewn on the ground and blackened spots everywhere when she and Shang Jianyao returned to the defensive line that Han Wanghuo was in charge of.
In such an environment, Han Wanghuo could've died at any moment. Like the other town guards, his luck wouldn't be better just because he was a sheriff.
If he had sold the information regarding Bishop Renato's return to headquarters to the merfolk and mountain monsters, there would've been no need for him to be at the frontlines. He could've found an excuse to move to a relatively less vulnerable spot.
Not only was this akin to tying the noose for himself but also sticking his head inside.
