Chapter 16: The Thief and the Musket

In the town of Southsea, there is hardly anyone who does not know the name Syndicate.

This is the largest gang of thieves active in the South Sea Town and Talenmere area, and even dares to rob openly in some remote areas, and it is also the biggest threat to the merchants who come and go in this area.

Song Zheng's understanding of these syndicate thieves is basically due to the game.

In World of Warcraft, this syndicate of thieves was founded by the old nobles of the former kingdom of Alterac, and its leader was none other than the former King of Alterac, Aiden. Pernord.

These old nobles of Alterac did not want to leave Alterac after the fall of the kingdom of Alterac, so they relied on disguised as thieves to rob the surrounding merchants for a living, but they were obsessed with the life of the old aristocracy, so after robbing enough money and goods, they would often return to the Alterac Mountains and continue to live a noble life, and after squandering the stolen or looted property, they would again disguise themselves as thieves and go down the mountain to rob and steal.

In fact, the reason why those adventurers in Nanhai Town were able to receive so many escort missions was mainly because of the existence of these syndicate thieves.

"Yo, there is a beautiful knight, this is a rare thing, I have been lonely in the mountains for too long recently, so I just took her back and enjoyed it." When the eyes of the two syndicate thieves fell on Bridget, they immediately showed greed, and there was no taboo in their words.

Song Zheng had killed many syndicate thieves in the game for the prestige of Ravenhold Manor, but the two syndicate thieves in front of him seemed to regard him and Bridget as mortals.

"You thieves, I will give you the punishment you deserve on behalf of justice today!" Brigitte was already enraged by the other party's frivolous words, and immediately rushed at the two syndicate thieves with her sword.

However, although her speed was fast, the speed of the two thieves was a few points faster, and it was very easy to parry the long sword in her hand, and it seemed that there was still strength left, and with the cooperation of each other, Brigitte could only keep defending.

Seeing that Bridget was at a disadvantage, Song Zheng couldn't help but start to worry a little in his heart, the strength of this syndicate thief was obviously stronger than he expected, and his thief profession only had one 'stealing' skill, and he was not the opponent of these syndicate thieves at all.

Fortunately, perhaps the power of faith had been restored somewhat, and Bridget's armor lit up with a golden glow again, and as those mysterious runes began to light up, her strength was visibly increased.

"Holy Light?" The tall and thin syndicate thief couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the sudden light that lit up.

"It's a paladin! Those guys deceived us, and they even gave us five hundred gold coins, and we have to charge them at least two thousand gold coins to kill a paladin! Another syndicate thief yelled in exasperation.

After receiving the blessing of the power of the Holy Light, Brigitte finally relied on the suppression of her strength, and the knight's sword in her hand opened wide, forcing the two syndicate thieves to retreat again and again.

However, with her previous experience, Song Zheng knew that the power of the Holy Light in her body didn't seem to last long, and if she couldn't solve these two syndicate thieves during this time, she would probably fall into crisis again.

Despite knowing that he was invincible, Song Zheng eventually rushed forward to help, trying to contain one of them in order to create an opportunity for Bridget.

After seeing Song Zheng participate in the battle, Britst really increased the power of her attack, preparing to quickly deal with one of them.

However, when several swords in quick succession forced the tall and thin syndicate thief into a desperate situation, the long sword was cut off, but when it touched the head of the syndicate thief, it suddenly hovered.

"Don't hesitate!" Song Zheng desperately dodged the attack of another syndicate thief on the side, and when he saw her hesitant appearance, he hurriedly shouted and urged.

"I ...... I've never killed anyone......" Brigitte bit her lip as her hands finally began to sink.

However, the tall, lanky syndicate thief, after getting a respite, took advantage of Bridget's hesitation and waved his hand and sprinkled a handful of powder in her face.

Bridget hurriedly dodged, but her face was still stained with a lot of powder.

But the sword in her hand had left a long wound on the syndicate thief's body in a hurry, stretching from her left shoulder to her abdomen.

Song Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to want Bridget to hurry up and deal with the enemy who was frantically attacking him, but he saw that the long sword in her hand suddenly fell, and then the whole person fell to the ground.

"Oops, is that powder some kind of poison?" Song Zheng was suddenly shocked, he was originally just that the weapons in the hands of this syndicate thief in the past were quenched with poison, but he didn't expect that they still had poison on their bodies.

"What about the paladin, it's not that he can't withstand my bag of poison." The tall and thin syndicate thief smiled proudly while bandaging himself, and then looked at Song Zheng and them, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Peter, haven't you caught that kid yet, remember to live, or it won't be worth much."

"I almost forgot ...... if you didn't say it," the syndicate thief who was attacking Song Zheng smiled, and actually put away the long knife, and at the same time his fingers were like claws, and grabbed Song Zheng's arm and snatched the dagger from his hand.

Just as he was about to grab Song Zheng's other arm, Song Zheng had already quietly added a musket in his hand.

The syndicate thief was visibly stunned when he noticed that the musket was pointed at his head, and then instinctively tried to dodge.

However, at such a close distance, the musket in Song Zheng's hand was almost attached to the syndicate thief's forehead, and thinking of what happened to Bridget just now, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

'Boom' a gunshot, and since there was no silencing device, the sound of the dwarven musket was very striking in the jungle.

But what was even more striking was the power of the musket, and the syndicate thief was blown upside down by a single shot, and blood and brains flew everywhere, and when it fell, only half of his head was left.

"...... in the middle of the eyebrows" This surprised Song Zheng, the power of this dwarven musket was far greater than he expected.

The syndicate thief, who was bandaging his wounds, immediately let out an exclamation of surprise.

Song Zheng hurriedly aimed the musket in his hand at the injured syndicate thief.

The syndicate thief was obviously unfamiliar with the dwarven musket, so he didn't know that the musket needed to be reloaded every time it was fired, and when he was too frightened to care about his wounds, he immediately rushed into the jungle.
