Chapter 42: The Choice

With this group of helpers, although language communication is still the main obstacle, fortunately, these slaves are still a little bloody, and there is an imam in command over there, which also helps Murong Tao save a lot of effort. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The man with the cloth strip on his palm seemed to be a commander, and it seemed that he was the spiritual pillar of these people, except for the imam.

The slaves were adept at bows and crossbows, and every time the man raised his bow, one of the hapless mercenaries was killed, and the arrows beckoned to the center of the eyebrows and hearts.

After clearing a red spot, not only a batch of war supplies was replenished, but also a group of slaves were liberated, but these slaves were not from the New World, their complexion was dark, and they could not speak language communication, which was simply an alien language.

Although there are racial differences, everyone has the same goal, to be free, or to take revenge.

Because there was no way to communicate at all, those African slaves just blindly followed Murong Tao and the others, and of course, Murong Tao also distributed some weapons to them for self-defense. There was no such spiritual leader as an imam among these African slaves, the only difference was that there was a woman like a black pearl.

Although her complexion is much darker than that of most white people, she is much fairer than her compatriots, maybe she is of mixed race, right? Murong Tao thought so.

Until the woman spoke, it was actually in English, although it was not very standard, and there were dialects, but at least Murong Tao knew her name, Sera Pasha.

Murong Tao still introduced himself as Rudy, and introduced those companions from the New World, although he had only learned much information from the imam.

Serra, a woman with a magical talent for language, was able to have a simple conversation with the imam after just a few conversations. How many secrets does this woman have, not only English, but also Spanish, which is completely different from the rest of the African slaves.

Serra told Murong Tao that she was a princess of a small country in eastern Africa, and that the Portuguese colonizers had broken their peaceful life, slaughtered her people, and taken her captive, and that these people around her were her guards, all brave warriors.

In fact, Portugal was occupied by Spain from 1580 due to royal succession, and it was not until 1640 that it was declared free from Spanish control. In fact, there is a shadow of the Spaniards behind the current Portuguese colonizers.

Serra shared some of the information introduced by the imam with Murong Tao, who told Murong Tao that these people came from a place called the Aztlan, and some people called them the Aztecs, which were the most numerous branch of the Indians. After being slaughtered and plundered by the Spanish invaders, he was taken captive.

Speaking of which, they share a common enemy.

With Serra's translator, Murong Tao communicated his plans to the imam and the other Aztecs, and he promised that he would do everything in his power to help them find the rest of the clan and find a way home, but with Murong Tao's current strength, the Aztecs must help him become stronger.

The imam hesitated for a moment, but still agreed with Murong Tao's suggestion, in fact, on the continent of Europa, except for Murong Tao, no one would treat them as ordinary people at all, they were just slaves here. Only when both sides cooperate can they have the opportunity to return to their hometown.

Serra secretly told Murong Tao that in fact, the Aztecs were not left under the ravages of a large infectious disease in 1525, and these people may be the only remaining Aztecs.

Murong Tao didn't understand why Serra wanted to help him, but since everyone was sitting in the same boat, it was better to solve the problem at hand first.

The ensuing sweep was much quicker, and most of the captives rescued were women and children from the slums, who were told by Murong Tao to find safe areas to hide, and these people living at the bottom of the slums naturally knew how to hide.

By the time Murong Tao and his two teams approached the area of the Treehouse Tavern, there was already fire everywhere, and the cries of children and women could be heard in the distance, and at the same time, there were a large number of slashing sounds one after another, and it seemed that the battle had entered a state of anxiety.

Murong Tao's side of the Aztecs in addition to the non-combatant imams, there are a total of 12 young adults, and there are only 6 guards on the Sierra side, although compared to the scale of nearly 100 people in the Wolf Mercenary Group and the Buckley Slave Group, it is still a drop in the bucket, but judging from the rush battle just now, these people are all elites, as long as they are given enough powerful weapons.

He assigned two Aztecs to protect the imam to take refuge in the hut near the treehouse tavern, and he originally wanted to let Serra go with him, but he also needed to rely on Serra's language skills, so he had to keep her by his side in order to better command the battle.

As the imam left, he pointed to the tall man, and Serra told him that the tall warrior was named Bopoca, the captain of the Aztec team, and that he had been authorized by the imam to obey Murong Tao's orders.

Murong Tao handed over all the arrows and crossbows collected along the way to Bopoka and some of his men who were good at archery, and these people were arranged to snipe those mercenaries exposed to the air at some commanding heights, while the rest of the people followed behind Murong Tao, slowly approaching the tail of the mercenaries, and waited until the other party was in chaos because of Bopoka's attack, and then entered the opponent's camp to create panic.

Not to mention the strength of the Aztec warriors, Bopoca, who are skilled in bows and arrows, can also play the highest level of wooden bows, and the range of almost every arrow exceeds the limit of the actual range of wooden bows, which can be said to be the role of a hundred steps through the Yang. If this is paired with a special bowstring, I am afraid that the lethality will be even greater.

A round of shooting, none of them missed, and some of the mercenaries who were about to storm the Treehouse Tavern were killed by them as soon as they showed up.

These arrows were fired from all directions, and it was difficult to judge the exact location of Bopoca for a while, so that the mercenaries couldn't stop looking around, but they couldn't find the direction of the sneak attacker.

There was another volley, and several more mercenaries fell to the ground, some arrows were shot through the back of people's necks, some passed through the Adam's apple, and some pierced the temples, making it impossible to guard against.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, pay attention to concealment!" After witnessing the inexplicable tragic deaths of three groups of mercenaries, Renard finally gave the order impatiently, and the dozens of slave guards brought by Barkley withdrew from the Treehouse Tavern early.

The people of the Treehouse Tavern, which had been unable to support it, hid behind the self-made bunker, observing the enemies who scattered like a flood, and some did not know why. On the periphery of the base, which was originally overcrowded, there was only a broken body left struggling there, who was not Delanor?

It turned out that not long after Draenor was captured alive by the mercenaries under Renard's command, he didn't even stage the scene of torture to extract confessions, so he took the initiative to tell the location of the Treehouse Tavern, and at the same time told Renard the information that Murong Tao, the employer, hired the Treehouse Tavern to spy on several slave trading organizations in Cherbourg Harbor.

The naïve Draenor had thought that such important information would bring him safety, and he had no comfort in his heart, including the lives of his father, who was the head of the treehouse tavern, and his young sister.

However, Renard, who was bent on uprooting the entire Treehouse Tavern, still took Draenor hostage, and coerced his father to come out and surrender with all the people in the Treehouse Tavern, otherwise he would cut off part of Draenor in five minutes. Of course, in order to survive, Draenor kept begging his father to do what Renard asked, but his father refused, but fortunately, this father was not stupid to the extreme.

Poor Draenor lost six fingers and an ear in this protracted battle, and he looked horrible and miserable.

At this moment, Draenor could no longer care about the pain, and struggled to use all his strength to move forward. His hands and ears were covered in blood, and he was not as important as his life.

The two closest members, with the nod of the person in charge, rushed out of the tavern, trying to pull the dying Draeno back to the tavern, the two of them suddenly fell in a pool of blood without any suspense.

Although the sneak attack just now made the mercenaries of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group dare not show their heads, they still have a small number of guns in their hands, and it is still easy to hit two big living people at such a distance.

The person in charge clenched his fists and scolded the rest of the members who wanted to go out and pull Delano back to the tavern, obviously using Delano to fish, trying to break them one by one.

At present, in addition to Angelina, Marcus and the other four members in the entire Treehouse Tavern, it can be said that most of the vitality of the entire Cherbourg Port Treehouse Tavern has been consumed, and for the first time, it is thought that there are still some rescued women and children hiding in the Treehouse Tavern. If there were any more casualties, it would not have been possible to hold out until the evening, and the treehouse tavern would have survived in name only.

"But, Draenor—" one of the members replied reluctantly.

"Leave this traitor alone, he brought those people, do you think I can't guess if I keep silent?" The person in charge interrupted coldly, "With his temperament, I am his father, and I know his personality better than anyone else!" ”

Draenor didn't care about the two lives that had been sacrificed to save him, he went straight over the two corpses, just hoping to get back to the tavern as soon as possible, and as long as he got back there, he could save his life.

The person in charge looked at his son covered in blood, and in addition to the heartache, he also felt angry at him for betraying the treehouse tavern, and his hand touched the crossbow on his right hand several times, wanting to use the crossbow to make the final judgment on his only son, but other than that, he was still a father, this kind of thing, he couldn't do it.
