Chapter 40: The Prisoner Robbery
"Where did you two come from?" Angelina broke the silence and asked the older brother of the siblings facing her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I... We... We areβ" The boy obviously knew Angelina and knew that it was useless to lie in front of her, how could anyone who knew anyone in the slums know the treehouse tavern not guess that they weren't from here?
"Getting to the point!" Angelina still looked impatient, even in the face of a child of this age, it was the same cold look, which scared the boy a little overwhelmed all of a sudden, and his eyes couldn't help but ask for help in the direction where Murong Tao was.
Angelina was about to say something, but suddenly she was covered by a man's hand, and she thought about struggling, knowing that this was the first time she had been intimate with a man other than her father since she was a child.
"I don't want everyone to die with you, so be quiet!" As he spoke, Murong Tao made a downward gesture towards the rest of the people, which meant that they should not stand at the window and keep their bodies as low as possible.
Soon, there was a cacophony of voices outside, some mercenaries were swearing and shouting, and someone could be heard howling, obviously this person would not belong to the Wolf Mercenary Group or the Buckley Slave Regiment.
"What would you do if one of you was caught by the other person?" After Murong Tao reached an agreement with Angelina with his eyes, he let go of the hand covering her and whispered in her ear.
"You don't have to worry about that, our people are not afraid of death." Angelina snorted coldly and pinned her head to the other side.
"Then there will always be a few people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, right?" Murong Tao's hearing was very good, and the miserable howl from far to near just now was obviously Draenor's.
Angelina turned her head suddenly, staring at Murong Tao with fire-breathing eyes, seeing that the other party looked very serious, she lowered her head and guessed several possibilities.
"Angelina, do you think Draenor was caught by them?" One of those lying on the ground raised his head, his eyes full of panic, "I knew I shouldn't have left him alone, or a few of us cover for you two, and you go and bring Draenor back?" β
"What!" Murong Tao lowered his voice and scolded, "His life is life, isn't your life life?" If you rush out now, I can tell you responsibly that none of you will survive. Do you know that you can't save him, but you still have to catch a few of you? Besides, we have the wounded and children here! β
Several people looked at each other.
"Draenor is the boss's son." Angelina said coldly.
I see.
That's easy to explain, these people would rather risk their own lives than save Draenor.
"That has nothing to do with me, since your boss has taken over my business, my employer's life should be a little heavier." Murong Tao sneered and said, "Even if he is your boss's son, if he takes the initiative to take someone outside to the Treehouse Tavern, will your boss still let him go because he is his own son?" β
A dialog box has already summarized the conversation of outsiders, it is nothing more than that the guy named Draenor abandoned him because of his own people, and after he was captured alive by the other party, he did not use any torture, so he directly said that he wanted to explain the location of the treehouse tavern, and all he asked for was that Angelina was to hand it over to him to dispose of.
Murong Tao waved his hand lightly and slapped the conversation away, he had a general understanding of the character of this person named Draenau.
For the sake of this kind of villain, he will never risk rescuing him.
However, because he was worried about Marcus and Melody, who was staying in the Treehouse Tavern at the moment, Murong Tao still scolded angrily, stood up, leaned against the window and looked outside, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no ambush outside.
"There's no movement outside, apparently everyone has gone to the Treehouse Tavern." Murong Tao's words surprised the rest of the people, Angelina didn't believe that Draenor would do anything to sell the Treehouse Tavern, but the other people did not speak out to refute Murong Tao, based on their character of Draenor who was greedy for life and afraid of death, it was completely possible.
"In the face of the attack of a hundred or so people, even if there are many people in the Treehouse Tavern, it will not help, I will now give the two of you an important task." Murong Tao took out two gold louis from his pocket and handed them to one of the people from the Treehouse Tavern, and the other to the boy, "This is not a reward for you, but a token." Give this to the guards in front of the Doge's Palace, and tell them that if you don't want anything to happen to Melody, give this gold louis to the Duke of Loire. β
The man from the treehouse tavern nodded, then looked at the boy next to him who was only up to his waist, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, did this guy actually expect a child to deliver this gold louis to the governor's palace earlier than himself?
"My ugly words are in front first, if anyone runs away with this gold Louis, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth." Murong Tao's words woke up the man in the Tree House Tavern, who was originally full of greed for Jin Louie, and nodded quickly.
The little boy also nodded solemnly, and then handed over his only sister to Murong Tao to take care of, and after making sure that there was no one outside, an adult and a child rushed in the direction of the Governor's Palace.
"Do you know what you're doing? It was still a little kid, what if he ran into those slave regiments on the way? Angelina asked angrily, "There are several adults here, why would you let a small child do such a dangerous thing?" β
"Sometimes, it's easy for a child to do a lot of tasks that adults can't." Murong Tao said disapprerovingly, "Of course, this can be regarded as a vote of his." If you want to follow me, you have to let me see his value, this little girl has no value at the moment, and I'm not a benevolent person, so I can't go back with two mouths inexplicably, right? β
"I really didn't misunderstand you, you are really a rich bastard like those nobles!" Angelina was very dissatisfied with Murong Tao's reasoning, but the little boy had already run away, even if he could convince Murong Tao now, it would be meaningless, "This matter is not over, if something happens to that little boy, you will have a disturbed conscience!" β
"Conscience? How many gold louis is conscience worth? Murong Tao didn't know what to say about this woman, "If you delay here any longer, I can guarantee that when you return to the Treehouse Tavern, it will be a mess, your people will be killed, and women and children will be put in a cage and become slaves." β
After a brief silence, Angelina rushed out of the hut angrily, and after the rest of the people resettled the wounded, they followed, leaving only Murong Tao behind.
Even without Angelina leading the way, you can see a large number of red dots gathered in a certain area on the scanned sketch, which must be where the treehouse tavern is located.
Circles of ripples rose from those red dots, which meant that there had been a large-scale weapon fight there, it seemed that the headquarters had been attacked, and the scattered subordinates of the Treehouse Tavern had already returned to help, but they lacked the advantage in numbers, and they could only be routed by the two major organizations, or blocked in the one-acre and three-point land of the Treehouse Tavern.
"I knew I should have killed that Draenor just now!" Murong Tao said with annoyance, "Before I was fledgling, it was the first time that I encountered this kind of interception battle, I hope that Melody and Marcus will be fine, especially Melody, with his current strength, he can't stop the anger from a kingdom duke." β
He now regretted that he had brought Melody to the ghetto, and after this incident, no matter how things developed, I am afraid that the Duke of Loire would have some confidence in himself.
Just when Murong Tao rushed towards the area where a large number of red dots gathered, he found that there were some scattered red dots moving in several alleys nearby, and some red dots simply stopped in place, these red dots should belong to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group and the Buckley Slave Regiment, these red dots must have some conspiracy to stop in place, in order to prevent these red dots from gathering with those red dots, Murong Tao decided to clear these red dots first, and then go to the Treehouse Tavern to help.
He visually surveyed the location of several red dots from far to near, chose the one farthest from the treehouse tavern area, climbed up to the roof of the small building full of creepers in a few steps, and climbed over to the other side in a few clicks, which was extremely troublesome for others.
Although the number of people shown by the red dot was not too large, in order not to startle the snake, he stopped before the last step, and condescendingly looked at the team that gradually appeared below, it was a team of about ten people, and in the middle was a wooden prisoner cart, but this time it was no longer women and children who were imprisoned, judging by the color of their skin, it was more like the aborigines from the New World.
How did the natives of the New World end up here?
Don't worry about it for now, let's kill these guards, there is not much time left for me now.
Along the way, the simple darts made by themselves felt good, and although only one of the two test shots hit the target, before the rest of the people could react, five guards had fallen to the ground forever.
Murong Tao jumped up and down with the help of the wooden cell, avoiding the pursuit of those guards, and did not forget to throw a few improvised darts as a result of the enemy, seeing that the number of people on his side was getting smaller and smaller, these guards simply gave up Murong Tao and turned back in the direction of the wooden cell, probably someone had given them an order before, once someone came to rob the prisoner, they would be killed directly on the spot.
