Chapter 43: Coercion

"Father, that's my brother, that's my brother!" A little girl suddenly ran over and knelt in front of the person in charge, her hands raised high, blocking the range of the crossbow, and her mouth kept dissuading. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In normal times, Angelina and the rest of the members might have spoken out to stop the person in charge, but when she learned that Draenor had betrayed the Treehouse Tavern and killed so many former brothers and sisters, Angelina just stood aside and watched coldly, as for the rest of the people, no one would take the initiative to dissuade them, anyway, because of Draenor's selfishness, so many people died, and the Treehouse Tavern actually existed in name only.

Even if it can avoid this catastrophe, the treehouse tavern does not have the strength to fully entrust it, except for some of these members who are seconded from other branches, most of these members are selected from the slums, and they have been cultivated since childhood to the present, because of the betrayal of the son of the person in charge, they have seen God, and now looking at the hesitation of the person in charge, several people have already begun to retreat.

Instead of following this kind of courageless person in charge, it is better to go out.

At this moment, Angelina was worried about Murong Tao in her heart, just now in order to return to the Treehouse Tavern, she didn't have a chance to say a word to him, and when she turned around again, there was no shadow of Murong Tao. Someone in the tavern said something strange, saying that Murong Tao had escaped when he saw the opportunity, but Marcus immediately retorted, with Marcus, who Angelina knew well, it was not easy to convince a person, and being able to get someone like Marcus must have something special about him.

Behind Marcus, Melody had woken up, not as calm as the rest of the children his age in the tavern.

"Lilisa, get out of the way!" The person in charge pushed away his pleading daughter who was in front of him, and slowly pointed the crossbow at Draenor who was getting closer and closer, and with a single touch of his finger, a crossbow arrow would pierce Draenor's head, preventing him from moving on.

"Honey, that's Delaenor, your only son, are you crazy?" At this time, a woman stepped forward and blocked the crossbow arrow with her body and said, "Are you going to kill your own son with your own hands?" ”

"Get out of the way! Do you know what that brute did? The person in charge wanted to push his wife away, "He betrayed the tavern and caused so many excellent children to die like this, and you are still here to intercede for him?" He doesn't deserve to live in this world anymore! Get out of the way, get out of the way! ”

"If you insist on killing him, kill me first!" The woman does not care about the face of the person in charge, she only has her own children in her eyes, where does she care about the life or death of others, no one can say anything about it, this is selfishness as a biological parent.

Draenor's body suddenly stopped, only to see an arrow stuck in the back of his neck, the person in charge and his wife were stunned, the woman actually pushed her husband away, and rushed at her dead son like crazy, however, in front of her was only an emotionless bullet.

The woman's chest was covered with a mist of blood, and she collapsed to the right side of Draenor's body, her eyes still open, apparently dead.

The person in charge raised his right hand crossbow, and did not aim, but aimed at the mercenary who shot with an arrow.

How do you think that it is impossible for this mercenary to be attacked by that crossbow arrow in the tricky position where the mercenary is hiding, but the mercenary still fell slowly, and an arrow appeared on his temple, obviously this arrow is not the one shot by the person in charge, but at this moment the scene is extremely chaotic, who cares which arrow is shot by whom?

The Buckley slave group encountered Murong Tao's sneak attack when they all withdrew from the treehouse tavern, and there were less than ten people left in the team of more than fifty people at the moment. Those slaves are as if they have seen an enemy, one by one is a killing move, without any pity, as for Murong Tao, killing people has no psychological burden on him at all, anyway, the opposite side is an enemy, and the move is clean and neat.

"The other party's reinforcements are coming, withdraw them!" Barkley was also stunned, looking at the corpses all over the ground, he returned directly to the periphery of the Treehouse Tavern in a panic, and when he saw Renard, he said in a trembling voice, "The reinforcements from the Treehouse Tavern have arrived, more than half of my people are killed and wounded, what is the situation inside?" ”

Renard had been overwhelmed by the sneak attackers hiding in the shadows, and then he heard the bloodied Barkley say that reinforcements had come from outside the Treehouse Tavern, and he suddenly lost his confidence. Could it be that the Duke of Loire's own soldiers have arrived? Besides, who else will come to the aid of the Treehouse Tavern?

"How many reinforcements are there?" Renard asked.

"More than half of my men were killed or wounded, and I estimate that there are at least a hundred!" Buckley is just a slave trader, it is his job to catch some slaves and betray slaves, as for his subordinates, they are nothing more than some wine bags and rice bags, relying on the tactics of the sea of people can also threaten the opponent, compared with the wolf mercenary group, the overall strength is not a little bit worse.

However, although Barkley's statement is exaggerated, Reynard believes it a little at this moment, even if the waste guards of those slave regiments are rubbish, they can confront their own subordinates, and more than half of the casualties are just a face, so the other party either has a large number of firearms, or there are really so many people.

"There is no other way now but to take the Treehouse Tavern as soon as possible to survive!" Renard said in a deep voice, "There are less than ten people in the Treehouse Tavern at most, and we have more than forty people here, so it won't be difficult to take it." If we continue to delay, when their reinforcements come in, we will all die here! ”

Barkley was frightened by Renard's words, although he said that more than half of his men were killed and wounded, but only he knew his own affairs, and what followed him could be said to be his only remaining strength, but only 7 or 8 people, plus more than 20 people on Renard's side, at most 30 people, if there were still about a dozen people in the tavern, if they relied on natural barriers to block their side, it was really difficult to say whether they would win or lose.

Moreover, after Murong Tao cleaned up the battlefield with his people, he continued to approach, and Barkley could already hear the shouts of killing from behind him.

"Damn, are your people all straw bales? There are only so many people left who died so quickly? Renard didn't know that he was put on a hook by Barkley, thinking that the other party was strong and had already killed him, so he immediately organized the mercenaries under his command to turn around and attack from behind in a low grade.

This instead gave Popoca and the others who were hiding in the shadows some live targets, and fired three rounds of attacks in a row, this time even Barkley was not spared, an arrow pierced his left shoulder blade, fortunately he dodged in time, otherwise the arrow would have pierced his heart.

Barkley, a slave trader, had suffered like this, and the pain in his shoulder made him sweat coldly, but now no one cared about his life or death, and the only few diehards behind him were also killed under a round of attacks. At this moment, he finally realized the fear of death, although Renard reached a temporary agreement with him, but it was a temporary compromise on the number of his subordinates, and now there is no one under his command, he is now a bare-bones commander, is it possible that Renard will not take the opportunity to kill him, you must know that there are not a few contradictions between these interest groups, and there are constant frictions, and now it is not easy to encounter this kind of good opportunity, no one is a fool.

"Renard..."Barkley only felt a cold light flashing in front of him, he instinctively subconsciously rolled on a lazy donkey, and he could avoid the fatal blow from Renard, Barkley flashed like this, and fled in the opposite direction towards the wolf mercenary group, but crashed head-on into Murong Tao's arms, and at this moment he found out that those so-called 100 reinforcements were just those slaves who were controlled by himself before, and the number would not exceed 20 people, or even less.

More than fifty guards under his command failed to make it to a round in the hands of more than a dozen other people, and Barkley was bitter at the moment. Moreover, he found that the eyes of these slaves looking at him were very unkind, or angry, so he grabbed Murong Tao and asked for protection loudly.

Murong Tao kicked it to the ground, "Tell me your identity, and give me a reason not to kill you!" ”

"My lord, I'm the boss of the Buckley Slave Regiment!" Barkley said the back, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and the words "slave group" were deliberately hidden by him, just for fear of angering those slaves, "I was instigated by Renard, the leader of the wolf mercenary group, to attack the Treehouse Tavern!" As long as you can get around my dog's life! I'll pay you 10 gold louis as a reward! No, 20 gold louis! ”

"The boss of the Slave Regiment? A slave boss is worth 20 louis? Murong Tao snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you sell more than this number of slaves for a boatload, right?" If you don't want to die, you just hand over all the money, and if you die, what's the use of holding on to those money? ”

"But... But I now have only 20 louis, and the rest of the money, I promise, I swear to God, I will pay you in full! In his opinion, as long as he can go back alive, these people have nothing to fear, even if the money is blackmailed today, he can find a way to get it back, and at the same time, he will let these guys who dare to threaten their lives die!

"A blank check? Are you stupid for me? Murong Tao stepped on Barkley's left shoulder, causing Barkley to let out a miserable howl, "If you don't want to die, tell me where you hide your money, give me the key or something, otherwise, I don't mind handing you over to a few of them, I think they are very willing to have a deep communication with you now!" ”
