Chapter 19: Good Luck?
My hand hit the trigger and I was ready to fight. At this moment, the other party suddenly stopped. They stopped moving forward, just pointed their guns in our direction. This made us hesitate when we were ready to make a last-ditch effort.
"John, Gypsy. Don't be nervous, these are Pablo's people. A familiar voice came from the woods behind the men.
"Is it Walker?" John looked at me and said.
I could tell it was Walker, but at this moment I wasn't sure if it was Walker who was forced to say after being subdued. So I didn't put down my gun and still aimed at the target in front of me. John also didn't dare to hold it up, and he didn't put down his gun, keeping his mind ready to shoot, waiting for the other party's action. I think that at this time, as long as there is a person on the other side, especially the person I am aiming at, who tries to pull the trigger, I will not hesitate to pull the trigger and pull him to reincarnate together.
The gunfire was getting closer and closer, the form was very bad for us, I was getting more and more irritable, and this stalemate was an ordeal for me. The back and forth began to come to mind: "Pull the trigger and shoot." One hundred".
"All right, gentlemen. I am Mr. Balcas's butler. If you are really here to save Mr. Balcas, please come out immediately, okay? We don't have time to appreciate each other here. "As a distinctly accented English came out, an elderly man appeared in front of us, and at his side was Walker, who was being held by a drag bottle.
"Hurry up, guys." Walker beckoned to us.
John slowly lowered his gun, "It looks like our day of going to hell isn't here yet. After that, he looked at me and chuckled and walked out.
The men lowered their muzzles when they saw John put down their guns and walk out, and I put them down when I saw them relax. Then he got up and held up little Bill behind John, and we walked towards Walker.
As we approached, Walker saw little Bill's face, and his expression of joy at seeing us all alive dimmed instantly. Even though he could see that little Bill was no longer alive, he looked at me as if to ask me if he was wrong.
I shook my head gently to show that he was not mistaken, that little Bill was dead.
Walker muttered a whisper, reaching out and touching little Bill's pale face as if to say his final goodbye.
"Where are they going? How did you meet them? John broke the silence and said.
Walker sighed, quickly adjusted his mood, pointed to the rear and said, "Northeast." They still have some people outside, with cars. The leader was a woman. The tomb robber fled with me on his back, perhaps because of the tomb robbery, the place where he crossed the river was not difficult to walk, but he didn't go far to meet these people. ”
John listened to Walker's words, looked at the oil bottle and said, "It seems to be somewhat useful." ”
At this moment, the sound of people shouting came from the woods. I followed the sound and saw a few people running through the woods. At the head of the list are Pablo and Códobá.
The man who claimed to be Pablo's butler seemed excited, and immediately beckoned people to surround him. He ran over and hugged Pablo excitedly, and then walked over to us as he spoke.
"A couple of gentlemen. Please come out of here with us. "A group of people gathered around Pablo as they passed by us, Mr. Butler said to us.
And just as we were about to leave with them, a familiar voice came from the woods across the river, the same one that had shouted at us the previous night after we had been chased to the dirt bag, the same wizard who had pursued Pablo all the way here.
But this time he didn't use English, but in Spanish, and John listened to what he said as he translated to us.
"Gentlemen. Don't be nervous, this is the end of this battle. My men advised me to continue, but I knew we had missed the best time and place, that your follow-up support had arrived, and that my men were exhausted. So I congratulate you Pablo? Congratulations, Mr. Balcas, on escaping with a gang of mercenaries. Originally, you were supposed to stay with us, or even stay here forever, but now that you managed to escape, then you can only say that Lady Luck is on your side. But this time I still have a lot of gains, and the first people to pick you up should have paid the price. But when it comes to the cost, your men are heroic and tenacious, and we have suffered a lot of casualties. Of course, that made it more interesting for me to deal with you, and I decided to do something for you and those who have already died. I have decided to return to you all the bodies of those of you whom I can find, and I will arrange for them to be returned to you, and may these heroic dead be laid to rest in peace. That's all I have to say, Mr. Balcas, I wish you a smooth journey, and I hope you will have such good luck when we meet again. ”
As John finished translating the last sentence, there was no movement from the other side. The rest of us looked at each other, some of us looking blank, some of us relieved and glad we had survived, and some of us looking angry.
It was Pablo who appeared angry. His anger is completely understandable, after all, he was taught a hard lesson, and he was also beaten by the other party to beat the rabbit and put some important people who answered him in. Although he ran out, and although the wizard's words saved him or for us, the operation was a very unsuccessful one. The reason is very simple, the people who came to meet Pablo, except for those important people, should be the best players on his side as far as the guards are concerned, including the ones encountered on the river beach later, these good men were almost lost in this night plus a day and a half, and the blow to Pablo can be imagined. And those important people who are killed will certainly magnify the negative effects of these losses, such as the instability or even reshuffling of the entire faction, and whether Svis's death will cause an ally to distrust him or reassess the value and necessity of uniting him.
Although the wizard had withdrawn, Pablo's team, which was also retreating, did not dare to relax too much. At the urging of the housekeeper, they made their way through the woods as swiftly as frightened birds to a convoy.
The fleet has more than a dozen vehicles, including pickup trucks and off-road vehicles. There were about twenty people guarding the convoy, they were heavily armed, and after seeing the retreating procession, a man jumped out of one of the off-road vehicles in the convoy. Although this person was wearing a camouflage uniform, it could be seen from her body shape and movements that she was a woman.
The woman quickly greeted Pablo and hugged each other, both of whom seemed very happy.
I didn't have the heart to watch their reunion, I looked at the butler and said, "Mr. Butler." Which car are we in? ”
The butler looked at me, then at Pablo, who heard me speak, as if waiting for Pablo's decision.
Pablo looked at me and said, "You and your boss are in a car with me." ”
"Nope." I immediately vetoed it, and I pointed to the wounded Walker and the dead Bill Jr. and said, "I still have brothers, and they must stay with me." ”
Without waiting for Pablo to speak, Córdoba beside him said unceremoniously: "It's not up to you to decide here." You guys.. Before he could finish his sentence. John, who was next to me, leaned over and punched Córdoba in the face, knocking him to the ground.
In response to such a change, the people around us raised their guns and pointed them at us, but I had already raised my gun and aimed it at Pablo when John was moving. The same goes for Walker, who has a leg problem behind me.
"Don't move. Don't move. I said slowly as I aimed at Pablo.
John didn't stop us because of the confrontation with Pablo's men, he continued to smash Bill Jr. in the face with punch after punch, and talked as he fought back.
"Let's be back-to-backs."
"It's up to you here. I'll let you speak. Say it. ”
Códoba initially tried to fight back, but quickly lost his ability to resist after being hit hard in the face by a few old punches, much like those in mixed martial arts who are incapacitated by heavy blows from their opponents. But this is not a game, no referee will pull it, and Walker and I are not ready to stop it, so if we continue to play like this, I think Córdoba will definitely die. But fortunately, John, who has been tossing and tossing since yesterday, doesn't have much strength anymore. After beating himself out of breath, he moved sideways from Códoba's body and sat on the ground, panting as he looked at Pablo.
The butler next to Pablo immediately beckoned the people around him to take the cordobara away for treatment after seeing John stop, but I didn't want these people to move, first of all, to prevent them from playing any tricks, and this cordoba should indeed teach a good lesson.
"Don't move. I'll shoot whenever you touch him, I'm not kidding. I picked at the muzzle of my gun and motioned for them all to step back.
Pablo looked at John, who was sitting on the ground, and after a moment he sighed heavily and spoke in Spanish to the people around him. The meaning of this sentence should be to make his people put their guns down, because after he said this, those who pointed their guns at us put their guns down.
"I just feel like this companion of yours needs some treatment, and the one you've been carrying needs a place to lie down. The most important thing is that I want to discuss some issues with the two of you, about here, about that wizard. I didn't need to discuss it with you.,But your contact over there wasn't already last night.。。 Has it already been killed? So some of the words, whether they are useful or not, can only be discussed with the two of you for now. Pablo said.
