Chapter 229: Hostage

The warm spring sun shines on the body, warm and comfortable.

Jacques opened his eyes comfortably, he was lying down, the sun was a little harsh, he wanted to raise his hand to cover it, he wanted to raise his right hand, but he felt something heavy on his wrist.

The two hands were raised together, the sunlight was blocked by a large shadow, and when I looked closely, it turned out that the two hands were cuffed together by wooden shackles.

Only then did he feel that the bed under him seemed to be shaking slightly, and just as he was about to sit up, a pain immediately came from his abdomen.

Oh yes! I took that bitch with a stab yesterday and stabbed it through!

I wanted to see the wound, but I couldn't see it when I was lying down, and I couldn't touch my hand with my hands cuffed. In order not to pull his abdominal muscles, Jacques had to twist his body to the left before he could look down at his wound.

Finally twisting his body to the left, Jacques could see where he was, he was lying on a flatbed truck, someone was pulling the cart along the road, the road was lined with woods and mountains, and there were many young men with wooden flails walking numbly.

More often than not, masked black-clad men on horseback surrounded the refugee-like procession from all directions, occasionally urging them to hurry up.

Looking down to examine the wound, a rag was wrapped around his waist a few times and was soaked in blood. Laboriously picking open the cover with his hands, along the gap in the rag, Jacques saw a pink flower, which was the initial healing of the wound, the new skin was still pink, it seemed that someone had saved himself with healing.

In this way, the injuries to his internal organs should have healed, and he would be able to recover after a few days of rest.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Jacques's movement made the driver feel that he did not stop, but turned back and said, "Mr. Jacques, are you awake, do you feel better?"

Jacques was not familiar with this voice, so he tried his best to look up at him, and the man happened to look back at him, and when he saw this half of his face, Jacques immediately remembered what had happened last night: "Mr. Mark? Did you save me?"

"I don't know how to heal, just a simple bandage, thanks to Miss Vanessa......" Mark said.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. "Jacques knew very well that yesterday's sword would have been fatal if it had not been treated in time.

He then asked, "Are we captured?" and where is Miss Vanessa?"

Mark replied, "That's right, betrayed...... Ah no, captured by the Independence Army. Miss Vanessa was in the car in front and she was treated differently than we did. Don't use the source energy, the shackles on our wrists will sense the source energy and it will grow spikes with paralyzing toxins. ”

"I see. Can you tell me what happened? Oh, by the way, where's my knife?"

"You fainted from blood loss, and while I was bandaging you, another group of ...... came Well, the fighters of the Independence Army, we were captured. But you kept bleeding, but it was good that Miss Vanessa asked them to help you with it. ”

Then Mark whispered, "Your knife is probably still in place, but I blamed the death of those Independence Army on that woman, and they didn't have time to check it at the time, so they should have been mixed up." ”

Jacques turned over, looked up at the sky, and said, "Where are we going, and it should be noon, I slept all night?"

Speaking of this, Mark said with some resentment: "Hehe, why don't you sleep for a day and a half in one night, fortunately, I have good physical strength, and I can persevere, if we fall behind, we will die! ”

Jacques wondered, "They don't want hostages?"

Mark sighed: "They have captured too much, and the important hostages are all locked in the carriage in front, and we can only be regarded as an add-on, and it doesn't matter if there are a few more." ”

After lying down for a while, Jacques said, "Thank you, Mr. Mark, but I'd better go by myself, I think I can still walk, just to bother you to help me up." ”

Jacques looked up at the sky and smiled, knowing that Fat Orange and his friends were there, following the team from high in the sky.

However, he still rejected Fat Orange's proposal to teleport him directly, because he was unconscious and couldn't teleport before. And at this time, he can be transferred to Fat Orange, even if he has a wooden flail in his hand, he can arrive before he is paralyzed and unconscious.

Jacques wanted to find a chance to rescue Vanessa and, of course, Mark, and now that he was in the team, it was convenient for him to act.

Jacques consulted with the others on the airship through Fat Orange, and the airship turned around and sailed back to Yorktown.

There was little point in them continuing to follow, and back in Yorktown, Marianne would be able to mobilize more resources to help with the rescue. And York City should have received the news now, Mayor Hoffa will definitely find a way to rescue his sister, and the same is true for other families, with their strength, they may be able to get twice the result with half the effort. In addition, if Marianne and Graves do not return for a long time, their subordinates will also become headless flies, and they will be overwhelmed.

The airship was gone, and Jacques walked on the road north with Mark's support, he didn't know how far the journey would be, but his eyes were still bright and full of confidence.

......

A day later, the airship finally flew over Yorktown.

The airship traveled along the Lechat River, and no longer hiding in the air, but descending slowly.

When descending to a height of only a few hundred meters above the ground, a man on the south bank of the Lechhardt River took to the air and gradually approached the airship.

Soon the two sides saw each other clearly, and the person who came was a captain of the city guard, and before they could get close, the words of surprise came: "Miss Marianne, you are safe and sound!

Marianne grabbed the edge of the hanging basket and shouted, "Captain Davidson, it's a pleasure to see you, we're fine, you also got the news about what happened in the spring hunting camp, right?"

After Captain Davidson approached, he simply entered the hanging basket directly: "I received the news the night before yesterday that many people escaped from the sub-camp, but you should be the only group of people in the main camp who have not been caught or killed."

Could Miss Marianne please come with me to the town hall and tell us a little bit about the situation?"

Marianne said, "I've been on the road for three days, can you let me go home first, I'll be to the town hall later." ”

Captain Davidson said solemnly: "Miss Marianne, the situation is urgent, please go directly to the town hall." ”

Seeing that his attitude was so tough, Marianne had to trouble Lily to adjust the direction of the airship and sail towards Pioneer Square and City Hall on the south bank.

On the way, Captain Davidson of the City Guard gave Marianne a brief explanation of the situation in York City for the past two days.

The descendants of the upper classes throughout the York region were all captured by the rebels, and it was a bolt from the blue!

This morning we finally received a request from the rebels for negotiations, and now the city hall is arguing.

Marianne and the others appear as survivors, perhaps bringing some information so that the dispute can be stopped as soon as possible and an agreement can be reached.
