Chapter 96 The End
"Lay down your arms!"
Polyester shouted as the sword in his hand stabbed at the shoulder of the grain with unmistakable accuracy. The blade of the sword sliced through clothes, pierced skin, and pulled out blood and wounds.
Looking at the grains carefully, he was now covered with several wounds, and the blood loss was becoming more and more serious.
It can be seen that if it weren't for the two Imperial soldiers who wanted to go back alive, he would have already confessed here even if he had nine lives.
In the face of the siege of the soldiers, Gu Liduo looked at the tattered lute in his hand, gritted his teeth, and threw it away, just holding the slender sword in his hand as the last stubborn resistance.
His gaze swept over the two soldiers, and then fell on Arrow, who had been there for a long time, looking like he was watching a play.
Mixed with anger and hatred, his teeth clenched slightly, suddenly! He reached into the gear pouch around his waist and pulled out a glass bottle of milky liquid.
"You want to arrest me? I'm going to die today! Ariel! I'm going to take you to the funeral too!! β
With that, he flicked the cork off the glass bottle with his fingers, tilted his head, and poured all the milky liquid into his mouth.
"Du Lengjia?!"
As soldiers who used to fight on the front lines, whisky and polyester are no strangers to that strangely shaped glass bottle. The two of them shouted the name of the potion almost in unison!
After taking Du Lengjia's grains, he threw away the bottle in his hand, and then, his body, which was a little unstable because of the pain all over his body, seemed to be re-energized! The slender sword in his hand waved slightly, and the figure also rushed towards Arrow in an instant!
This turn of events obviously surprised Arrow, and he was a little caught off guard. Brad next to him didn't wear leather armor or shields, but he resolutely stood in front of Arrow and raised his arms.
"Grain Lot, Reciter! Explain the origin of your Du Lengjia! Stop your murderous behavior! β
Seeing that the grains took more potions, the whiskey and polyester immediately raised a 120,000-point vigilance, and at the same time as the grains pounced on Arrow, they also guarded in the direction of Arrow!
But at this moment, the figure of many grains is far faster than imagined! As if he was completely unharmed, he turned around halfway and quickly pounced on the townspeople who were still watching next to him.
"Oops! Everybody get out of here! β
Whiskey saw that he had been tricked, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
But there was a smile on the face of the grain that had succeeded in the plan, and as soon as he grabbed a little girl who had not had time to escape, he jumped out of the encirclement of the square, jumped on the roof, and ran wildly towards the south side of the town.
"Damn it! I didn't expect this guy to even have a forbidden drug like Du Lengjia! β
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Polyester complained. Whiskey, on the other hand, rushed out of the crowd non-stop and shouted, "Chase!" This guy has a hostage on his hands now! If he feels safe, he will kill hostages anytime, anywhere! β
This reminded Polyester, and the two soldiers immediately chased in the direction of Gu Liduo's escape.
Here, the people of Merfolk Song watched all this happen, but they really couldn't react.
No, just because there are more grains under Du Lengjia, his movement speed is too fast! Quickly let Arrow, Brad, Cream, Coco, and Parfay have no idea what they can do now.
But after seeing the whiskey and polyester catching up, Arrow immediately shouted, "Let's go too!" β
With that, he pulled his legs and ran. The mermaid song behind him also immediately followed and rushed up.
This is not because of any righteous heart, but because of profit.
Arrow regretted that he had not been able to see that the bard had not wanted to die with him at all.
Sure enough, because he saw that he had now formed a trapped beast fight, he instinctively thought that what he said in his mouth must be what he really wanted to do, but he forgot that what was said in the human mouth and what he thought in his heart could have been two completely unrelated things.
Now, the guy has kidnapped a child.
A guild member of the Mermaid Song kidnaps a Pelican Town child!
If this child is not successfully rescued in the end, then how will his guild gain a foothold in Pelican Town in the future?
A child's life will become an eternal rift between his guild and this town!
Therefore, he must lead his guild to catch up immediately, even if he clearly understands that the strength of his guild's members is completely weak, he must be on top!
In the distance, the two soldiers, one on the rooftop, the other running wildly through the streets, chasing grains that flashed like thunder and lightning.
After taking this powerful analgesic and hyperstimulant, how long can the human body last to maintain this peak state?
Arrow didn't know, but he knew very well that in the blink of an eye, Gu Liduo had already rushed out of Pelican Town with the little girl who kept crying, and ran towards Swan Castle over there.
Running wildly, on this sweeping plain, Airo could see from a distance the grains that were quickly breaking into Swan Castle.
But compared to these warriors, Arrow's physical strength is much weaker. He gasped as he ran, and it was a long time before he came to the castle and gasped for breath.
"Why...... Why...... Don't go in? Yes? β
Finally running to the castle, Airo let his heart beat as much as he could, gasping for breath while resting on the shoulders of the undead soldiers.
Whiskey and Polyester stood in front of the castle gate, looking at the scaffolded building with a small white primer on the black castle, looking a little hesitant.
The two warriors exchanged a glance and began to circle the castle. Not long after, the two of them gathered beside the Mermaid Song again and said, "President Arrow, the situation is more troublesome now. β
"Trouble?"
Finally, Arrow finally regained his breath and asked.
Whiskey nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the castle in front of him and said, "This castle has three entrances and exits, but there are only two of us. If we enter the castle and this guy escapes through another entrance, that's going to be a problem. β
Arrow was slightly stunned, and then raised his head to look at the Swan Castle in front of him.
If you think about it, this time was the time when the Viscount Ruichi was renovating the castle. Since it was a renovation, the stones blocking the other two entrances and exits of the castle were naturally removed. This also restored the original Swan Castle, which had only one entrance and exit, to three, resulting in the current situation of three cunning rabbits.
"This guy's strength is not bad, although in a head-to-head duel, I and any one of Polyester have the confidence to beat him, but once he is in the dark and we are in the light, then we may not be able to escape from the sneak attack by him."
Whiskey looked a little embarrassed, frowning and rubbing his hands, and his steps were a little impatient-
"But if we had two of us entering through the same entrance, the bard would have two ways to escape. In this case......"
He glanced at the people in the Mermaid's Song, and said with some regretβ
"President Arrow, do you think your mermaid song can stop this guy head-on?"
Obviously, no.
Of course, Arrow is self-aware, and knows very well what level his guild is at right now. It's okay to use your guild's current equipment to face those brainless monsters head-on, but if you really want to face Gu Duo head-on, it's not a good idea.
"It's okay."
Arrow snapped his finger and looked at the townsfolk who were coming from the direction of Pelican Town. Especially, it was Viscount Ruichi, who was running at the front and looking out of breath because he was worried about his Swan Castle.
"There are two guilds in this world, one that is good at using power. And our mermaid song~~~"
He raised his hand, nodded his head slightly, and smiledβ
"They are the best at using wisdom."
ββββ
Oops, oops, oops!
It's really terrible!
Why is this happening?
Originally, I thought about it, that woman couldn't have the right to run a guild at all, and this guild should have been captured!
But why? Why is this happening? Why did I think about it for so long, calculate it for so long, and don't hesitate to play the "Good Adventurer" game with those townspeople for so long in order to gain their favorability, and in the end, it would be turned over so suddenly?!
In the castle, the grain gritted his teeth, holding the sword in one hand and the little girl in the other. The little girl's mouth was sealed with strips of cloth by him, leaving her speechless.
In this way, he was able to lean on the edge of the castle window and secretly observe the situation below.
Obviously, the two Imperial soldiers were now very prepared when facing this castle with three entrances and exits, and did not know where to attack from. But it doesn't matter, as long as they dare to rush in, then they can leave through any of the other entrances and exits! If they insist on waiting until midnight, then they can escape from the castle at night. It is impossible for these soldiers to defend all three entrances and exits.
However, the one who made Gu Liduo most resentful was the leader of the Mermaid Song Guild who was talking to the soldiers and townspeople.
Ariel Garcia!
This woman ...... Five years ago, she was just a little girl! At that time, I had learned her intelligence and wisdom.
How can there be such a woman in this world?
How could she have such a vicious heart, such ruthless methods, and such a well-thought-out plan?!
I should have thought a long time ago that a woman who has the ability to disguise herself as a man and open an adventurer's guild without so many people is not an easy target at all, but she is so careless!
In the past few days, even an old man like herself was concealed, and she couldn't see through her weak appearance that she was hiding such a deep scheming!
No...... No, no, no!
Lose? Haha, how is that possible? A dignified grain reciter, the president of the Singing Bird Guild, and a bard! How could you lose to such a little girl whose hair hasn't grown yet?!
Revenge...... I'm going to get my revenge!
After escaping this fate, Ariel, don't be delusional that these soldiers will be able to protect you forever! When you fall into the hands of Uncle Ben next time, you will definitely experience what it is like to be unable to survive and die!
The grain exhaled deeply, trying to restrain his anger a little.
After a moment, he felt his spirit lighten a little, and looked up again, wanting to see what was going on outside.
But at this moment, he saw some scenes that he couldn't imagine!
The townspeople of Pelican Town sprang into action, bringing back some huge stones and dumping them in front of one of the entrances and exits of the castle.
"Oops! They're going to seal off both of the entrances and exits! β
He was not stupid, and he instantly understood what kind of situation he was about to encounter.
Once two of the three entrances and exits are sealed, then as long as those two soldiers guard in front of the only entrance, they will be caught in the urn!
Just as Gu Liduo was nervously thinking about how to deal with the problem at hand, a voice suddenly came up from below-
"Grain Lot, Reciter! You're already surrounded! Please release the hostages immediately, give up your weapons and surrender with your hands raised! Fight for the Empire's leniency! You're just committing some economic crime now, and you're not committing murderous cases that hurt others! I hope you give up resistance now! Don't be obsessed with it anymore! β
A slight probe saw that the tax collector was now shouting at the castle with a large iron horn.
Gu Li thought about it for a while, poked his head out of the window, and shouted at the bottom: "You all stand down for me!" Don't you see that I have a hostage in my hands?! Don't seal the door for me! Otherwise, I'll kill her right away!" β
As he spoke, Gu Liduo lifted the little girl in his hand high over the window, and the little girl saw her feet in the air, and immediately danced in fright.
The crowd below was all frightened to see the little girl struggling in mid-air, and even the townspeople and workers who were carrying the stones now had to stop what they were doing.
Seeing this, Arrow immediately said, "Continue to transport stones to block the door!" He didn't dare to kill hostages, and once he really killed them, he would no longer have any barriers! However, everyone should step back a little and not get too close to the castle to avoid putting too much pressure on him. β
Hearing what Arrow said, the person who was transporting stones to block the door continued to work, and the tax officer also continued to raise the loudspeaker in his hand and shout.
Grain Doll pulls back the little girl and hides under the window again.
He could see clearly that the stone bearers paused for a moment before moving again because of Ariel.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he even wanted to strangle this little girl directly to vent his anger!
However, reason finally brought him to his senses at the last moment.
After all, once this hostage is really dead, then he is really finished. He was naturally clear about the mercy of the two soldiers towards his subordinates, and it was entirely because he had not committed any murderous crimes before, so they couldn't commit a dead hand.
But if they really kill someone, will they still aim to just subdue themselves in the next encounter? It's really hard to say.
Gu Liduo covered his face, because of nervousness and anxiety, his spirit couldn't help but show a little trance.
The tax collector below kept shouting, and seeing that the first entrance and exit had been sealed, people had begun to transport stones to block the second entrance. If this continues, is it true that I am going to die here completely?
Time passed minute by minute.
Seeing that both entrances and exits were about to be completely sealed off.
Gu Liduo knew that as time passed, when those two entrances and exits all became dead ends, his end would come.
What will greet you next?
Prison time? Out of the window? Or even being captured and sent to the battlefield, fighting each other with some strangers for reasons that they don't know at all and don't want to understand, until they die?
In retrospect, why did I run away from a small place in the countryside?
It's to get ahead! To be able to make a lot of money! I don't want to live the same poor life as before!
Finally...... I finally managed to get a little out of it, and I was finally able to make a little money by taking advantage of some loopholes in the rules!
But this damn empire...... These damn royalty! Why do you ask to revise the taxation rules when you are having a good time?! You're royalty! Will you die if you make a little less money? Why don't you want to leave a little way for ordinary people like yourself?!
If you continue like this, you will be completely ruined...... The capital that originally wanted to return to his hometown in fine clothes and dress appropriately to show off is now completely gone!
All this ...... All of this...... All of it!
It's all because ...... That one, woman, man!!
There are many grains, staring at the crowd below.
The sun is setting in the west, gradually hiding on the other side of the Changmian Mountains.
The pitch-black earth began to envelop the world, and everything I was in was dark except for the pelican town in the distance and the little fires burning below the castle.
The two soldiers...... It's supposed to be in, right?
It's right to think that since the two entrances and exits have been completely blocked, it is time for them to do it.
But do you have to be caught like this?
No...... Absolutely not! No matter how painful the situation was before, I crawled over by myself, and I definitely can't sit still because of the current situation!
I still have a trump card, I still have the remaining Du Leng Jia Elixir in my pocket, and I still have hostages in my hands!
As long as you have these two things, who says you can't come back from the dead?!
Find a place to hide...... As long as you can find a place to hide, kill a soldier in an instant in a sneak attack, and then take Du Lengjia, you will have no pain, and you will be completely excited! In such a situation, it may not be impossible to fight a bloody way!
Thinking so, Gu Liduo immediately ran towards the top of the castle.
He needs to find the best terrain to hide, and he needs to find the best place to fight!
He climbed all the way, searched all the way! Soon, he was on the very top floor of the castle!
Afterwards......
He stood in front of the beautifully decorated stone gate.
