Merrick was deliberately silent for a while, taking in everyone's expressions, and as a result, he was very satisfied, there were no such impulsives and stunned young people among these nine people, they were all calm veterans, which made his expectations of the success rate of the attack reach the perfect level, quite a wonderful level. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Nine people, I need nine people to do something that is very dangerous, and then, everyone will be paid a gold coin!" Merrick said in a deep voice that was deliberately low. And he also untied the brocade bag, stretched out his index and middle fingers and pulled out a yellow gold coin.

"We're going to take the job. The three strong men stood up first and walked this way, followed by the others all around.

"Very good, there are ten gold coins in this bag, I will give them to the tavern owner, you can come back and get them after completing the task, I believe this boss will not be mistaken, and the remaining gold coins, boss, even if I give these nine friends the aftermath of the drink money, of course, how much is left is yours." With a flick of the flick, Merrick threw the bag containing the gold coins at the boss behind the counter, who didn't care about him, and the boss didn't raise his head, but only stretched out two thick fingers to hook the bag back behind the counter.

Merik's eyes lit up: "I think you can also participate in the action, and you will also be rewarded with a gold coin." ”

This was said to the boss, but the boss shook his head slightly and did not agree. Merrick said no more, and left the tavern first.

With the memory of the topographical map drawn by Thin's men, Merrick easily led the nine men to the ambush site, and he first observed the entrance of the alley for a while, and soon spotted the figures of two of his men, and nodded slightly.

Then, Merrick turned around and commanded the nine behind him, "The matter is very simple, someone has offended my master, so my master wants to teach the other a lesson. In a moment, a carriage will pass by at the junction ahead, and two of my men will rush out first, and you will rush out first, and you will pretend to be the thugs who are chasing them, and surround them in front and behind, and the rest of the men will quickly overturn the carriage. You deal with the horses and the coachmen, but the man in the chariot doesn't need your hands, and my men know how to do it. Then, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the scene was a mess, do you understand?"

Merrick's sharp gaze shrouded everyone through the darkness, and the nine people all felt a slight chill behind them, and involuntarily nodded slightly to show understanding. However, these people are all ruthless people who are used to licking blood from the knife edge, and the oppression brought about by Merrick's higher strength does not solve all problems, and one of the tall and thin warriors of the nine still frowns and raises his own questions.

"My lord, it doesn't seem like this little task is worth a gold coin?"

Merik's eyes hidden in the darkness narrowed slightly, and he sneered in his heart: It turns out that there are still people who understand here, but it is useless.

"Of course, if it's that simple, I'll only give you ten silver coins," the crowd couldn't see Merrick's expression, and could only hear a low voice from the cloak explaining, "And in fact, the coachman may be a warrior and need to be dealt with by you, the horses can't let it be frightened, and the person in the cart is also a trainee warrior, these three elements together are not easy to deal with." Most importantly, you may find the chariot with the coat of arms of the nobility. ”

As soon as these words came out, the nine people were immediately moved, and the tallest of the three strong men immediately spat on the ground and scolded Merik: "You are crazy, attacking the nobles, Lao Tzu's life is not something that can be bought with a gold coin." Let's go!"

As he spoke, he was about to turn away, but then he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, and his bulky body jumped away like a frightened rabbit and turned around, and the great sword behind his back was drawn in his hand at the same time.

"When~", the two big swords hit each other instantly, and a spark flashed, and the strong man's big sword flew out of his hand, while the tip of the other sword was already pointed at the strong man's throat.

Under the vigilant watchful eyes of everyone, a trace of sweat left from the strong man's forehead, and when it passed through his eyes, his eyelids trembled, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it at all, and his leaning back figure stood there, like a statue.

"There's something to say, sir. The two brothers of the strong man were stopped behind by the strong man's gesture, and he reluctantly smiled and begged for mercy.

Merrick snorted coldly, slowly put his hand away, Sen Han's eyes covered everyone in his vision, and threatened in a cold tone: "Before I finish my words, I don't like people to leave without permission, and if anyone dares to do this, I won't just crash his sword!"

The crowd was already stunned by his skills, and they were silent.

Merrick secretly smiled proudly, and then continued to explain: "Although it is a noble carriage, the person in it is not a nobleman, but just the son of a merchant, and his family is related to the housekeeper of a nobleman's family in Shining City, so he has the opportunity to lend the noble carriage. Now you should understand that the nobles may be angry because of the attack on the family carriage, but they will definitely not make a big deal about it, after all, this is just the private act of the butler, as long as you are not caught red-handed, you will never be implicated. ”

This explanation was very good, and immediately eased the tension among the people, and the strong man even showed an embarrassed smile, and he bowed his head slightly to Merik: "I see, my lord, I apologize to you for your recklessness just now." ”

Merrick was a highly trained official guard of the Marquis's Palace, and as a junior swordsman who had attended a regular warrior academy, how to deal with the relationship between his superiors and subordinates was a must. Therefore, he was very tolerant to express his disdain with his pen: "Hehe, it's okay, sir, as long as you can complete the task well, that gold coin will definitely not run out of your palm." ”

The crowd was momentarily reconciled again, and Merrick led them into the darkness as well, quietly waiting for the signal to move.

A hastily decided attack was carried out in less than an hour by a junior swordsman, receiving orders, planning, finding clothes and people, and ambushing all these arrangements, if not seamlessly, but they were already quite carefully planned.

From these circumstances, it can be seen how powerful a junior swordsman from a regular warrior academy has mastered, and this power is not limited to force, but more of an intelligence.

The Regular Warrior Academy teaches them the most basic methods of judgment and analysis, and the effective process arrangement, which is the essence of the tactical course. Clearly, Merrick is very good at using them, and he is definitely an excellent graduate.

As time passed, the wheels of the carriage pressed against the bluestone-paved road, and the characteristic sound of "pricking, pricking" had reached the ears of the ambushed people.

Merrick's eyes flashed with joy, but then a chill replaced him.

He looked back at the nine men he had bribed, carefully examining their eyes, sword-wielding hands, and thighs to see if they would be frightened into peeing their pants and slumping to the ground as prisoners of others during the momentary attack.

If that happens, he won't hesitate to kill them with a sword to keep the secret.

However, the results of the observation made him satisfied, and the guys who were still sitting in the tavern and waiting in the nine dark nights should indeed have some lives in their hands, and they were very calm, and they just pretended to be drunk and made trouble, and they couldn't even cause a trace of fluctuation in their eyes.

"It's coming!" Still in a low voice, Merrick slowly retreated, "I'll watch in the shadows, and I'll take action if something goes wrong." But don't make me look down on you, there's no more than a fourteen-year-old child sitting in that car. ”

The strong man waved the long sword in his hand vigorously, and the sharp blade made a whining sound when it pierced the air, and he roared in a low voice: "My lord, please rest assured, nine people will dismantle a carriage and capture it!"

"Very well," said Merik, who had retreated into a darkness behind everyone by this time, his voice slightly excited, "the action will begin immediately, but I must repeat, that boy is not allowed to touch any of you, your task is to sabotage the carriage and prevent them from escaping, and my men will take care of the rest, and if anyone disobeys, he will surely taste my sword!"

"Don't worry, my lord, we're going to be fine!" a similar reply drifted into Merrick's ears, and he nodded approvingly and smiled.

The sound of wheels hitting the ground was getting louder and louder, and the carriage was getting closer and closer to here, and suddenly, a hand was raised at the mouth of the alley, and Medek's eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Action!"

At the entrance of the alley, the two men rushed out to meet the carriage, and at the same time waved their hands and shouted in panic, and immediately there was a shout from low to high, as if a large group of people were about to rush out of the alley.

"Huh~!" The coachman was startled by the sudden situation, and immediately pulled the reins with both hands, and the two horses jumped up with a neigh, but fell back to the ground under the pressure of the weight of the carriage, and ran forward a few steps, just half-blocked at the entrance of the alley, and the people in the carriage only felt a strong shock.

"Who dares to rush ......?" the coachman immediately got up, his whip in his hand, and shouted at the figure rushing out.

It's just that before he finished yelling, more people had already rushed out of the alley one after another with weapons in their hands, and the coachman vaguely counted a dozen people in the darkness, which startled him a lot. He immediately threw away his whip, drew a steel sword from under his seat, and leaped onto the roof of the carriage, closely monitoring the situation.

Seeing the panorama this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the car and said, "Young master, please be careful, don't come out, there are two waves of people chasing outside, I will closely monitor them and protect the young master." ”

"Hmm!" came a quiet voice from the carriage, as flat as if nothing had happened outside.

In this carriage sat of course Hughes Horton, the sister-in-law of Viscount Gail Holden.

Although he was only fourteen years old, due to his father's harsh training, he did not pay attention to the noisy activities outside, and he had a natural confidence in his own strength.

At this moment, the carriage was suddenly struck so hard that the wheels on one side were lifted, and then fell down heavily, and the horses were frightened and neighed a few more times, and took a few steps forward.

Standing on the top, the coachman stumbled, and before he could stand firm and open his mouth to curse, a big sword had already slashed at his lower body, and the blade of the sword flickered.

"Get out of the way, damn the carriage!" With a wild roar, the three strong men and three brothers swung their swords at the same time and slashed at the carriage, and two more people behind them jumped up at the same time and stabbed the already angry coachman on the roof of the carriage.

By this time, the operation had all begun, except for the hidden Merik, and all the nine people gathered had already taken action, and faintly surrounded the carriage in the middle.

Two fists are invincible to four hands, although the coachman is extremely angry, and he waved the long sword that emits a faint light in his hand in a loud shout, but he only swept the two people who attacked him and flew back, and the three swords still tore the carriage board violently, and in the piercing friction sound, the cold light slashed directly at the boy sitting in the car.

"Fighting spirit~!" Melik's eyes shrank in the dark, and he involuntarily held his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and he could already feel it from the light on the sword, it was someone stronger than him, although the gap between them was limited.

"Dou Qi! He's a swordsman!" The person who was swept away felt the strength of the other party with his own body, of course, he already understood who they were messing with, and the two who were still flying upside down roared in unison, and then they hit the wall and fell to the ground and fainted.

All the people who attacked were frightened in an instant, although the three brothers were strong but not stupid, they immediately understood that they were tricked by the guy in the cloak, and the object of their attack must be a real nobleman, and a powerful nobleman, otherwise how could he use a junior swordsman as a coachman!

So they used all their strength to collect the swords in their hands, and not only did they no longer attack, but they squeezed towards the gap between the carriage and the wall of the alleyway, and they were trying to escape!

"I want to escape!" the coachman roared, leaning over and swinging his sword at the three men, striking them with a comfortable force.

"Ah~!" With a miserable scream, the sword light broke through the back armor of the two people behind him, and two streams of liquid spurted out. One of them softened at the moment, while the other staggered through the gap, out of the coachman's range, and ran wildly toward the other side of the street, not caring for the other side.

The coachman was condescending, and when he found that there were no thugs at the entrance of the alley, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, abandoned the others, and swung his long sword at the two who rushed first. As a trained swordsman, he had already seen that this was a conspiracy. Now, it's time to put an end to the conspiracy.

The two Hiss guards were so frightened that they turned and fled with a scream.

Just kidding, a formal swordsman who has practiced fighting spirit is not something that a trainee swordsman like them can beat, and the other party can twist the two of them into a hemp rope with one hand.

By this time, Theseus had already jumped out of the other side of the broken carriage. Although he was not afraid of blood, he was still startled by the cold light of the three swords breaking into the car just now, and he instinctively smashed through the left door and rolled down, but except for a little bruise from the collision, he was not injured in any other way.

At this time, seeing that the coachman was in full swing, the hot blood in the boy's body immediately surged up, and he pointed at the fleeing man and shouted: "Catch them, don't let anyone go." ”

The coachman smiled bitterly as he galloped, he was only one person, how could he catch the eight people who had fled in all directions?

So he had no choice but to turn around and shout: "Young master, please take the sword to protect yourself, and I will go and catch the leader." ”

"No problem!" Hughes cried, and pulled his sword out of the broken carriage and held it across his chest in a standard position, excited. After all, he was only a fourteen-year-old child, and he had always lived safely under the strict protection of his family, and although he was strictly trained, he had never experienced a real fight after all. Therefore, this sudden change not only failed to calm him down, but was full of excitement, and he even forgot the elements of warrior defense that he usually strictly observed.
