Chapter 42: The Strongest Murderous Attempt

"Ignite the fire!" the hyena turned pale.

Damn, I didn't notice that I had been dragged on by this idiot for so long, the patrol had already arrived, and the deadly arrows were whistling in the night sky, and if you moved a little slowly, you could be killed on the spot!

"Poof!" As if a bag full of milk had been punctured, the hyena's companion stood in stride, a glittering arrow piercing his back, and he looked down in disbelief at the blood-stained arrow on his chest, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth.

He staggered down like a drunken drunkard and never got back up.

The hyena turned and ran towards the torches.

Just give me three more seconds and I'll be able to make everything irreparable! Once the fire is ignited, I can take advantage of the chaos to escape!

The hyena's eyes showed a strong desire to survive, and he caught it right away, and he caught it right away!

The world in front of him suddenly swirled, and the object seemed to be reversed in an instant, and after a while, the hyena's body fell heavily to the ground, and the clear touch made him realize that it was not the world that was turned upside down, but himself.

"Don't ...... I want to run......" Van Sai lifted his bloodstained face, his arms tightly wrapped around the hyena's calves, and a mocking smile appeared on his face twisted by pain.

"Get out of here, get out of here!" the hyena went crazy and kicked Versailles in the shoulder and neck with her right leg, and Versailles let out a howl of pain, but the power from his arms did not diminish.

"If you let go of your hand now, you'll fall short, and there's no point in me rushing out. "Versailles was well aware of the situation, and he mustered up the courage to run out to fight the hyenas by his fate, and he must not be escaped at the last moment.

And deep inside him, there is a force supporting him.

After losing my livestock, I was a homeless man, and it was the silver coins and bread that the lord gave me to survive, and I had nothing to repay the lord but this life.

Even if you die, you won't let go of those who are enemies of your lord!

That's what Versailles thought.

That's what Versailles did.

It's that simple.

The quality of loyalty that Payne had mentioned was most strongly demonstrated in this moment.

As the fire drew closer, the hyenas finally despaired.

......

In the dimly lit dungeon, the hyena was stripped of his armor* and hung on the torture rack, he was covered in blood, all whip marks and burns, and the warden carried out the execution himself, a treatment rarely seen in the history of the empty ferry territory, which shows how strong Rand's hatred for the hyena is.

As Rand guessed, in order to limit the authority of the lord, the nobles led the whole family out of the Kongdu Territory at the same time, and sent hyenas and another companion to make some trouble for Rand, burning weapons and armaments, if they succeeded, once the soldiers' weapons were damaged, they could not even replace and repair them.

And more importantly, tens of thousands of arrows that have been made overnight recently are stacked there, which is the main force against the beast tide, and if it is burned, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The thought of some horrific scene sent a chill down Rand's back.

"Hyenas are hateful, but the most important thing is the aristocratic forces behind him, they are the masters of all this conspiracy, we must arrest them and come back to the empty ferry to be convicted!" the warden gasped.

Could the mastermind be Baron Batu? He is a very scheming old nobleman, and it may be difficult to make the nobles confess their guilt based on the hyena alone, and as nobles, they can completely use money to atone for their crimes, as long as they pay a certain price, let alone go to the gallows, and may not even have to squat in the dungeon.

Rand has long discovered the shortcomings of this world system, the class hierarchy is too serious, the nobles enjoy all the privileges, and the commoners live worse than pigs and dogs, no wonder there are poor riots everywhere every year.

In this world, there is something very important, and although Rand also finds this idea a little ridiculous, he always feels that he should do something.

It should bring something different to this era, such as freedom, such as peace, such as ......

Equal.

"Still won't say?" Rand asked, frowning.

"His mouth is very hard, and no matter how I beat him, he won't explain. The warden's fat body made him very tired once he exercised, and at this time he wiped the beads of sweat on his head and reported to Lante: "Hyenas are professionally trained, and in terms of endurance, he can definitely pass the assessment of the Holy See Paladin." ”

Rand narrowed his eyes, there is no need to make more effort about the fact of the hyena's crime, the reason why he interrogated the hyena is mainly to learn the evacuation route of the nobles from his mouth, so as to pick an easy area to start, speaking of which, although the distance between the air ferry and Lindong City is not far, in addition to the main road that usually passes, there are no less than seven or eight other transportation roads and paths explored by the herdsmen, in case Payne chases the wrong direction, it will be in vain.

The main thing is that if he can get a specific route, Payne can choose a suitable place to ambush them one step ahead, and in terms of mobility, only the cavalry team is far more than the heavy horse caracity.

"Hyena bastard is very clear-headed, he knows what we want to do to the nobles, he is still lucky, as long as Batu can successfully reach Lindong City, he can come up with a sum of money to ransom him, or to dredge Ron's men, let Ron put pressure on you, in order to achieve his goal. "The warden has been dealing with criminals for many years and knows very well what they think.

"He dreamed. Rand said calmly, "The soldier who killed me with the intention of burning the ordnance betrayed the lord as a nobleman of the Kongdu Lord. Either way, I won't let him go. ”

Rand has never hated it so much, even when the drawings were stolen, he was not as angry as he is today, Batu and the hyenas belong to the range that cannot be forgiven, if he succeeds, then the entire defense force of the air crossing territory will be paralyzed, and all the foundations that Rand has built and accumulated will be destroyed, not to mention that there are thousands of lives, this is not thousands of domestic animals!

"I've heard that my father killed many nobles before he was even a nobleman," Rand muttered to himself, then looked at the warden, "the kind that cut off his head or hanged himself at the gates without being convicted of a trial." ”

"This ...... But the situation was different at the time, Lord Duke was expanding the chassis, and he needed an iron hand to deter those disobedient subordinates," the warden felt his throat a little dry, and he could hear the undisguised murderous intent in Lante's words.

"How about looting and killing these nobles on the way?" Rand asked with a blank face.
