Chapter 49: Ambush
Arno watched the last carriage drive away, turned to look at Meghan and James father and daughter behind him, and raised his cane helplessly: "Gentlemen and ladies, it's a pity that because of the imperfect planning of a certain colleague, there is no place for us in the carriage, it seems that we need to walk back to the castle." ”
Megan squinted at Arnold: "That's really sorry, because of my mistake, I have to embarrass Your Excellency Mentor to run away with us." ”
The corners of Arnold's mouth hooked slightly: "I accept your apology, but I hope that you will think more about various emergencies before planning actions in the future." ”
With that, Arno raised his hand and shot a rope dart, and the recovered rope was quickly pulled up to the roof.
Meghan grimaced and looked at Arnold who was waiting for them to go up on the roof: "Damn, when will this thing be configured for me!"
James and Sevilla stood behind Meghan without saying a word, completely unable to mingle in the conversation between the two brothers.

"Da! Da!"
Donner sat in the driver's seat, holding the reins, and spurred the carriage in the direction of the castle.
Aris stood on the pedals outside the carriage door, looking warily at the dimly lit streets.
"Phew~"
Donner suddenly pulled back the reins, stopped the moving carriage, looked at the alley in front of him with a solemn face, and whispered to Aris, "Aris, I think we're in trouble!"
Aris stared at the eagle eye and looked at the alley where Donner was looking, "Damn...... That's how many people ......"
"Aha, good evening, rats in the sewers, now, please drop your weapons and get off the wagon!"
Out of the dimly lit alleyway, a man in a black top hat and a black tuxedo walked out, holding a revolver, aiming at Donner in the driver's seat, talking to them as he walked.
As the man walked out of the alleyway, more than a dozen people of all kinds with long-pole muskets followed out, and they all raised their muskets and aimed at the carriage.
Donner's expression hidden under the hood gradually became ugly: "Damn, maybe we can only choose to drop the weapon now......"
Aris looked at Donald in disbelief, "What stupid are you talking about?"
A laugh came from Donner's mouth: "Aris, if I were you, I would have firmly grasped the carriage door frame now, and then it was drag racing time!"
Aris didn't react for a moment: "Hmm, what are you talking about? Oh, damn it, you mean ......."
"Drive!!"
Before Aris could finish speaking, Donna threw up the reins, and the reins slammed into the horse.
The horses, who felt the severe pain, howled, and with the exclamations of the children in the carriage and the screams of Aris, the horses spread their hooves and galloped forward with the carriage.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Looking at the carriage that suddenly began to run, the man in the top hat shot at the speeding carriage, and the subordinates behind him also pulled the trigger.
Perhaps the group didn't use their muskets very often, and although there were more than a dozen muskets firing at the wagon, only a few bullets hit the wagon.
The carriage passed the crowd of gunmen and sped off into the distance.
The man in the top hat even saw the assassin in the driver's seat and raised a middle finger at him!
"Ahh
The man in the top hat roared angrily at his subordinates: "What are you doing standing here! Ride a horse to chase after you! There are so many people in their cart, the horses can't run fast under this weight! They can't run away!"
"Yes, Mr. Grywin!"

"Damn, I almost fell off the carriage!" Aris clung to the doorframe, yelling at Donner.
"Drive!" Donner didn't look back, and continued to wave the reins: "I've warned you!"
Aris snorted heavily, "Maybe you should give me a few more seconds to bring me back to my senses!"
"Don't complain, the carriage is too heavy to run fast at all, I think we should be prepared, they estimate that they will catch up soon!"
"Da! Da!"
As soon as Donner finished speaking, seven or eight men appeared behind the carriage on horseback, approaching the carriage quickly.
Donner glanced back, "Damn, it's here just after that!"
Aris reached out and grabbed the eaves of the carriage, turned over and jumped on the roof of the carriage, drew his revolver from behind his waist with his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and popped out two wooden bars under his armguards, and stroked a small bow and crossbow: "You concentrate on driving the carriage! I don't want to fall off the high-speed carriage!
"Bang!"
Aris aimed at the nearest horse and pulled the trigger.
"Boom!"
The bullet hit the horse's left eye, and it howled and fell to the ground with the rider on its back.
When the other riders saw their companions fall, they raised their guns and pulled the trigger and began to shoot back!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Donner looked at the smoking gun holes and roared at Aris in the carriage, "Damn! they almost hit me!"
Aris shoots down a rider with the Phantom Sword (a small bow under his wrist), bouncing back two sticks of wood and pulling out a throwing knife from his waist, the Phantom Sword can only shoot once, and after the shot needs to be manually reloaded to be used again, he has no time to reload now
"If you keep the carriage steady, I don't think they'll have a chance to get close to us!" Aris shouted with a frown.
"Drive!"
One of the riders suddenly accelerated to the side of the carriage, raised his revolver, and pulled the trigger on Donner.
"Bang!"
Donner jerked his head and dodged the rider's gunshot, and at the same time drew the revolver behind his waist and struck the rider on the horse.
Aris looked at the riders who were almost about to arrive at the carriage, and he took an iron ball from his bosom and slammed it into the ground.
"呲~"
As the iron ball smashed on the ground, a large cloud of white smoke erupted from the mouth of the iron ball, filling the street, and Donner controlled the carriage to turn the bend of the street at the same time, driving at a rapid speed.
Several riders on the horses did not pay attention to the sudden appearance of white smoke and rode their horses into the smoke.
"Ahem!ahem!ahem!"
With violent, incessant coughing, the riders slowly drove their horses out of the smoke, coughing and choking on tears.
Aris saw that there were no horses around the corner, and with a slight sigh of relief, he rolled over and jumped from the roof of the car to the driver's seat, and sat down next to Donner panting: "I think we should get rid of them......
Donner shook his head, pointed to Aris in the distance, and said, "No, I think we're in more trouble!"
Aris looked in the direction Donner pointed, three carriages were firmly blocked in the street, and a group of men armed with muskets and weapons appeared in front of the carriage: "Damn it...... I think we're going to die!"
