Chapter 239: Prisoner Robbery (3)
When Moratti was woken up by his assistant, it was about three o'clock in the morning, and he slapped the scribbled piece of paper in his hand on the table and said, "Let Loos, Brenner, Green, and Boz all go to the war room and wait for me." ”
More than ten minutes later, several key members of the Independence Army gathered in the operations room.
Moratti hurried into the room and said bluntly: "I think you know a little bit about what happened, and I will explain it briefly."
Three captives escaped, including the most important Vanessa Kusman, the sister of Hoffa Kusman.
Seven of our men died, four of them in the cesspool and three in the barracks. From the time of death, the first four died a little earlier, and I judged that they happened to meet the person who rescued Vanessa and were killed.
The last three died in the first half of the night, although the methods are different, but it should still be the same people, who warned us.
Let's take a look at this. ”
Moratti handed a piece of paper to the others, each with a solemn look on their faces.
Moratti continued: "Don't worry, I'm not someone to compromise easily, they certainly haven't gone far yet, I'll fight back immediately.
Los, you and your men have worked hard for more than ten days, and you don't need to go to pursue them, so keep the camp these days.
Brenner, you led the reserve team to patrol the surrounding mountains and forests to prevent the camp from being attacked again, and make it normal, our defense is still too lax.
Green, Boz, the two of you and I each led a part of the Iron Cavalry, and the soldiers went in three ways to pursue the group that rescued Vanessa.
I'm not going to let them out of the Draenor Mountains!
Well, go their separate ways. ”
......
The valley at night is never quiet, the constant wind rattling the plants, interspersed with the shrill birdsong that spreads through the valley, and the occasional dull roar of beasts.
A burst of horses' hooves, eager, fast, just suddenly joined in.
More than 20 horses, all in a sturdy posture, galloped along the road in the valley under the light of the source stone lamp.
Mixed with the sound of horses' hooves was a crisp woman's voice: "One more move!
The other person took the time to reply: "Okay, my eldest lady, I know it's wrong! ”
"You can't say it! We have so much trouble, isn't it all caused by your troubles! If you ...... Hey......"
Another female voice said, "Sister Marianne, don't blame Jacques, I begged him to help the others." ”
Marianne said: "I don't blame him for helping others, but I blame him for not using his brains to do things! If he quietly saves seven or eight people, I have nothing to say, saving three is also saving, even if he saves ten more people, our horses will be enough."
It's good for him to be clever enough to threaten others, and if he kills anyone, he will kill ten times as much as he will repay him.
Wouldn't anyone think that you would have to escort Vanessa back to Yorktown?
The urgency to destroy you now is higher than capturing Vanessa. ”
Fabian asked: "I still haven't figured it out, if we rescue Vanessa, those rebels will have surrounded and intercepted us, and it doesn't matter if Jacques kills people or not." ”
"Stupid, there is a word called morale, do you understand? If you don't get rid of the assassins, the news will get out, and the morale of the rebels will plummet.
If Jacques can sneak up and kill a grandmaster, they will obediently admit it and provide those people with good food and drink.
He only cut down three ordinary rebels, and there should not even be a plastic powerhouse among them, what does this mean? His sneak attack methods are good, but his actual combat power is not good.
This kind of threat of Jacques is still effective for small organizations, and it is useless to face a military organization like the rebels with thousands of transcendents occupying two thousand miles of Drano Mountain!"
Jacques was speechless, and as soon as Marianne reminded him, he realized that he had made a mistake, and that his so-called threat was actually urging the rebels to use all their strength to pursue him.
Now we can only compete with the rebels, all the way south, to see who can reach the Empire-controlled town of Nome first.
......
After running non-stop for a day and night, Tuddek, who was familiar with the environment of the Delaenor area, finally spoke: "There are still more than thirty miles to reach the town of Nome, but fortunately we walked fast and were not blocked halfway." ”
Everyone was also in high spirits, no longer pitying horsepower, and ran all the way.
Due to its proximity to the mountainous area where exotic beasts are frequent, the town was protected by a wall that was twenty meters high and could be seen from a hillside a few miles away.
As soon as the horse team rushed down the hillside, more than a hundred horsemen rushed out of the town, polishing the shining Mithril armor, which shone like a rushing silver stream.
Tudyk suddenly grabbed his horse from his crotch and shouted in a torn voice: "Run! It's the Iron Cavalry!
Paul, who was silent all the way, motioned for everyone to stop their horses and said, "Don't run, they are waiting for us here for a long time." ”
"But ......"
"Brother Tudyk, come with me to meet the other party's grandmaster. ”
With that, Paul rose from his horse and drifted toward the opposing side. Tudyk had no choice but to leave the ground and follow Paul.
The silver-armored knights also stopped their horses' hooves at a distance of a few hundred meters from Jacques and the others, and three people also floated up, and they met Paul in the air, and the five of them landed together.
The leader of the Iron Cavalry was none other than Moratti, who stepped forward and took off his hat and bowed slightly, and then said: "Two gentlemen, I am Moratti, the general staff of the Independence Army. ”
"Paul, just a mercenary. ”
Moratti said, "Mr. Paul, if I'm right, Miss Vanessa Cussman is in your team, right?"
"That's right. ”
Moratti kept smiling: "Then can I ask Vanessa to go to the mountains with me for a few days, because the reception was not good before, and she ran away for no reason, so I brought the boys to greet her." ”
Tudyk eagerly asked the question in his mind: "How did you get ahead of us, how did you know we were coming to Nome?"
Moratti replied: "We've lived in Draenor for almost 100 years, so we always know some time-saving paths. If you choose to go to Brutetown or Hlaheim, the Iron Cavalry is waiting for you. ”
Paul said: "I really calculated that we will find a town to rest when we leave the mountains of Delanor. But what if I don't hand it over?"
Moratti said: "Mr. Paul is a mercenary, why don't you listen to my offer? You have worked hard this time, and I won't let you run in vain, how about 300,000 silver coins? Hofa Kusman should not be willing to give you so many silver coins." ”
Paul said slowly: "Mr. Moratti is indeed more generous than Mayor Hofa......"
Hearing this, Moratti smiled even deeper at the folds on his face.
"Hoffa didn't even pay me a single penny. ”
Moratti's brows furrowed.
Paul continued: "It's just that the unfilial son of my family has also been invited by you to be a guest in the mountains, and I have taken him back. And Vanessa, that little girl, saved my son. The life-saver wants to go back to Yorktown, and I can't leave her behind, so I take her back by the way. ”
Moratti's tone changed, and his words were cold: "Is this impossible to talk about?
Paul laughed, "You can also try to do it, but please bear the consequences." ”
