Chapter 144: Modified Again, Capturing Marcy Alive
"Master, aren't we going back? It's dark......"
Erica bit her lip and looked at Zhang Feng.
"I'll talk about it later, we have a car anyway, what are we afraid of!"
Although it was completely dark now and it was still snowing heavily, Zhang Feng didn't care at all.
To have a car is to be capricious.
Of course, Zhang Feng's ability to ensure that he will not lose his way in the snow is key.
"Hmm~"
Since Zhang Feng said so, Erica naturally didn't say anything anymore.
Although her first time was so exciting, she didn't have any complaints for the sake of her master.
Zhang Feng didn't say that he had to do anything in this kind of place, just because, he said that he was here to experience the steam car, but it has been half a day, and he hasn't experienced it well.
There was water in the car, the two of them simply washed it, and after getting dressed, Zhang Feng opened the sunshade.
Through the thick bulletproof glass, coupled with some lights around the car, he could see the wind and snow howling outside.
After feeling it carefully, Zhang Feng estimated that the speed of this car should be able to run about 80 to 100 per hour, although it is not very fast, but it is already good.
And Zhang Feng's steam car is very stable, because he knew before that the steam car at the beginning was very slow, and after walking for a while, it was necessary to stop and heat the car, so it can be said that the efficiency is not as high as the horse-drawn car.
But Zhang Feng's car is different, he not only added a gearbox, but also strengthened the car with gold from the inside out.
Although it cost a lot of gold coins, the stability has improved a lot, and Zhang Feng estimates that this car will definitely be able to run faster, and it should be restricted by some design problems and gearboxes.
After all, these things are all researched by Zhang Feng, and they are not very professional, so it is very good to be able to run.
opened some windows slightly, a gust of cold wind blew in, Erica shivered meaningfully, Zhang Feng felt like he was holding her in his arms when he saw this? After all, Erica is just an ordinary person? The physical fitness is not as good as Zhang Feng.
After some strange smells in the car dissipated, Zhang Feng spoke.
"Been testing a car for so long today? Not bad? I'm satisfied, let's go back! ”
Zhang Feng patted Erica's buttocks.
"Huh? Listen to the master! ”
Erica agreed with a red face, she always felt that Zhang Feng was referring to something? But again there is no evidence.
"Let's go back to Momiji City."
Zhang Feng picked up the communication device? Open to the cab.
There were three soldiers in the cab, one was the driver, and two were Zhang Feng's personal guards, one man and one woman.
For Zhang Feng's orders, they are naturally very good at executing.
Let him drive? He's just going to keep driving? There is no parking at all, and now even the driver himself doesn't know where to run, but he doesn't have to worry, there is a compass in the car, and they just drove all the way to the south? Just keep heading north for a while.
Just, just stopped the car? When you're ready to make a U-turn, you suddenly find out? On the white snow in front of me, there seems to be a dark shadow!
The three soldiers instantly became nervous? Someone reported to Zhang Feng.
"My lord? There is a case ahead! ”
A soldier's voice came from the intercom? Zhang Feng's eyes froze.
You won't encounter anything strange on this big night, right......
……
With his stealth ability, Rat Daqiang escaped from Silver Pine City very smoothly.
However, this is also a situation in which Earl Longman's defense is not very strict, after all, they could not imagine that in such bad weather, someone would go out of the city alone.
After escaping from Silver Pine City, Rat Daqiang took out the map, took out the compass, found the right direction, and plunged into the snow again.
Soon, the day passed.
On the edge of a dry tree root, a rat pops up.
At this time, although he was fully armed and covered himself tightly, the air outside was still too low, and his eyelashes were covered with ice.
Rat Daqiang took out a small bottle of liquor, took a sip, and suddenly felt a fire drill into his stomach.
It made him feel better.
After eating something briefly, Rat Daqiang looked at the compass again, gritted his teeth, and got into the snow.
Half a day later, it was already dark, and Rat Daqiang came up again, he was dressed roughly, looked at the map, looked at the location of Red Leaf City, and suddenly smiled a little bitterly.
If you are not mistaken, now that you are almost within the scope of Zhang Feng's territory, as long as you hold on for a day, you should be able to see Red Leaf City, but Rat Daqiang shook his head helplessly.
His stamina is already overdrawn!
Rat Daqiang is not an orc who is known for his physical strength, if it is ordinary, it is better to say, after all, he is an orc, no matter how poor his physical strength is, he is a little better than ordinary people.
But now, in this bad weather, his physical exertion is several times higher than normal, plus he barely stays and has been running at full strength, and his physical strength has long been overdrawn!
It was all strong before, but now, it can't hold on.
"Marlowe Knights...... I'm sorry, I went through ......"
"Lord of the Castle...... Sorry ......"
Rat Daqiang trembled and took out a small bottle of liquor, but he didn't even have the strength to unscrew the cap.
"Heh......"
Rat Daqiang finally gave up, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the bottle fell into the snow.
"I didn't expect it...... I'm a big ...... How can you die like this......"
Although he is usually very timid, after death really comes, he finds that he is unexpectedly calm.
Rat Daqiang felt that he was getting more and more sleepy, he forced his eyes open, but his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
"That's it, it's dead...... I hope the lord of the castle can avenge us......"
He was very unwilling and reluctant to close his eyes, but the moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly saw a touch of orange light.
Vaguely, he heard the words "Lord of the City".
When Rat Daqiang opened his eyes again, he was lying on a soft bed.
"I'm ...... He's dead? ”
He was still a little confused, when a soldier next to him spoke:
"Mr. Rat Daqiang, you're awake!"
"Huh? Am I not dead? ”
Rat Daqiang still couldn't believe it, but when he heard "The city lord has arrived", he instantly understood that he was not dead!
Zhang Feng and the two fox-eared girls pushed the door in together, and saw Rat Daqiang, who was trembling and about to get up. He hurriedly spoke:
"Daqiang, don't move yet!"
After Rat Daqiang saw Zhang Feng and Fox Ear Niang, he put down the last bit of heart, then tilted his head and fainted.
"Uh...... This? ”
Seeing this, Zhang Feng was startled, but fortunately he tried it, he was still breathing.
"It's okay, he just fainted, do you want him to wake up?"
The fox-eared lady spoke.
"If it doesn't make a big difference to him, let him wake up, I want to know what happened and why he was in that position."
"Good!"
After the fox-eared mother agreed, she then walked to Rat Daqiang's side, and saw her reach out and press Rat Daqiang's forehead.
"Ahh
Rat Daqiang opened his eyes violently, his face frightened.
"Isn't this just waking up!"
The fox-eared girl looked at Zhang Feng with a smug face, but Zhang Feng was a black line, although he didn't know how the fox-eared girl did it, but looking at the situation, he didn't think that it had any big impact on Rat Daqiang.
But now that everyone is awake, Zhang Feng doesn't care so much, he directly said to Rat Daqiang, who was still a little frightened on the bed:
"Rat Daqiang, what's going on? Why are you there? Marlowe: What happened to them? ”
Zhang Feng asked directly.
After Zhang Feng's inquiry, Rat Daqiang had come back to his senses, he grabbed Zhang Feng's arm, and said with some tears:
"Lord Zhang Feng, our caravan is in trouble! I walked for two days and two nights to report back to you, and I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see you again......"
Seeing that Rat Daqiang's spirit was a little wrong, Zhang Feng didn't ask again, first comforted him for a while, and after his mood stabilized, Zhang Feng asked again.
At this time, Rat Daqiang had calmed down a lot, and after listening to his hateful story, Zhang Feng and Fox Ear Niang's faces became solemn.
"You're saying that our caravan is being targeted by Count Longman, the lord of Silverpine City, and is likely to do something against them?"
"Yes! I don't know what happened to them now, and they've even been poisoned......"
Rat Daqiang's tone was a little sad, he originally thought that he was the most dangerous one, but he was fine now, he was very worried about Marlo and them, after all, he had also lived in Red Leaf City for so long, and everyone got along with each other.
"By the way, how is the strength of Silver Pine City?"
People, Zhang Feng must be saved, although he knew from Rat Daqiang's words that before he left, they had not encountered substantial danger, but now that three days have passed, no one knows whether that Earl Longman has poisoned or not.
"I heard that Silver Pine City is the largest city in the north, and their strength must be very strong! According to Marlowe, they should have tens of thousands of soldiers, and there should be at least thirty to fifty knights! ”
These are naturally analyzed by Marlowe.
"So strong!"
Zhang Feng was shocked, 10,000 soldiers were fine, but these thirty to fifty knights were a bit exaggerated.
You must know that there are only two knights in Red Leaf City!
As if seeing Zhang Feng's shock, Rat Daqiang hurriedly spoke:
"Lord Zhang Feng, Knight Marlo said that he asked me to come back to report the news not to ask you to send troops to help, but to let you know who did it to us, as long as you know that there is such a person, it is not too late to take revenge in the future!"
Hearing Rat Daqiang's words, Zhang Feng was a little relieved, but he was not this kind of person who swallowed his anger.
If he didn't know about this kind of thing, Zhang Feng might be more cautious and wait until the matter was investigated, but since he knew and knew who was going to be unfavorable to his own people, Zhang Feng naturally wouldn't look at it.
Really, I'm a bully in Red Leaf City?
"How many orcs do we have with knightly combat power?"
Zhang Feng turned his head and asked Xiang Fox Ear Niang, who knew more about the strength of the orcs.
"If you take the Marlowe Knight as a standard, we have about five people with this kind of combat power, and if we take the Baker Knight as a standard, we have about fifty people."
The fox-eared lady thought for a while and said.
Although she has dealt with knights, the strength of knights also varies from high to low, and she doesn't know what level the knights of Silver Pine City are, but judging from the name of it being the largest city in the north.
Their knights must not be weak, and the lowest must be at Baker's level, or they may all be like Marlowe knights.
As for those orcs who are weaker than Baker, Fox-Eared Niang didn't count, after all, these orcs are too weak to be included in her calculations.
"In this way, our strength is not too bad, but the gap between this soldier is a little too much......
Zhang Feng frowned.
The soldiers on the other side are tens of thousands, and the residents of Red Leaf City are only more than 2,000 in total, and the soldiers are only about 500, which is the premise that he has been expanding.
If the knight's strength is about the same, his soldiers are no match for the other side at all.
"Are you worried that your strength is not as good as the other party?"
The fox-eared lady asked curiously.
"Well, we still have too few soldiers......"
"What if we don't fight each other head-on? After all, our goal is only to save people......"
Hearing the words of the fox ear girl, Zhang Feng's eyes lit up.
That's right, he doesn't have to fight the other party head-on, if it's just to save people, or can hit the other party by surprise, then it is more appropriate to have fewer people.
"And Zhang Feng, don't forget, our soldiers in Red Leaf City are different from the soldiers in other places, we have powerful crossbows, we have sharp swords, and we also have wolf cavalry! I don't even think that the soldier of Silver Pine City might be able to resist the charge of our orcs! ”
Fox-eared Niang has seen a lot of human cities, and she has a rough estimate of the combat effectiveness of human soldiers, and she knows that those human soldiers will definitely not be able to stop the orcs.
But after all, she had never seen Silver Pine City, and this largest city in the north was really a bit bluffing, so she spoke a lot more modestly.
"You're right!"
Except for Red Leaf City, Zhang Feng has never seen other cities, he has no concept in his heart, he doesn't know what the strength of this largest city in the north is, so he is a little cautious, but after listening to Fox Ear Niang's words, he feels that it is not just a Silver Pine City, whether it can win or not, you have to try it to know!
Rat Daqiang, who was still lying on the bed, listened to the two of them talk about attacking Silver Pine City, and he hurriedly spoke.
"My lord, no! The strength of Silver Pine City cannot be underestimated, and now it is not only the problem of Silver Pine City, the biggest problem now is the weather, in this bad weather, we have no way to march at all! ”
Even if it is a strong orc, it is impossible to say that it is safe and secure in this weather.
What's more, there are not many orcs in them, and the total number of orcs with combat effectiveness is only more than a hundred.
Hearing Rat Daqiang's concern, Zhang Feng smiled and said:
"Do you remember how I brought you back?"
"I ...... I don't remember ......."
Rat Daqiang scratched his head, he only remembered the orange light at that time, and he didn't remember the rest.
"You'll find out soon!"
Zhang bought a pass, and after he told Rat Daqiang to have a good rest, he took the hand of the fox ear girl and left.
"Zhang Feng, are you going to drive the 'Red Leaf Steam No. 1'?"
The fox-eared lady knew what he was thinking.
"That's right, in this weather, only the steam car can be unimpeded!"
His small car could run freely outside the Red Leaf Castle, and he didn't believe that the bigger steam car would be stopped by heavy snow.
But just in case, Zhang Feng had to make some modifications.
After leaving Rat Daqiang's ward, Zhang Feng summoned the workers of the factory and called Erica to modify the "Red Leaf Steam No. 1".
First of all, the tires, although the tires of this car are very large, but in this kind of snowy day, there is still the possibility of sinking in, Zhang Feng's first thought is to install snow chains, but when he turned over the warehouse, after seeing the tracks he had prepared in modern times, Zhang Feng changed his attention.
If you want any snow chains, you can do it in one step.
Then this car has to be lengthened, before it was designed to carry wolf cavalry, but now it is definitely not enough to rely on wolf cavalry, it has to be lengthened and bring more people!
As for on-board weapons or something, there is no way to do it for the time being, this idea can only be said later.
The last is the armor, this car Zhang Feng's capital in the snow is not to be lost, although he is very confident in his car, but he still added a lot of thick steel armor to the outside of the car!
He didn't believe anyone could shoot through those few centimeters of steel!
In fact, Zhang Feng wanted to strengthen this car from beginning to end, but alas, this is too much gold, even if he has money, he also feels stretched, so he can only settle for the second, and after strengthening some of the core parts and easily damaged parts with gold coins, the rest of the places can be directly put on the steel plate!
Since it is a modified finished car, coupled with the simple structure of this car, it is not difficult to transform.
After using the power of humans and orcs, the entire car was modified in just half a day.
Although the height of the vehicle has not increased much due to the limitations of the factory, it has been lengthened and widened a lot, and with the exaggerated tracks, this is a real giant!
Seeing that the vehicle modification was completed, Zhang Feng was a little excited, this time he wanted to drive in person!
It was only at this time that Rat Daqiang saw this behemoth.
He was a little confused, why had he only been away for a few days, and this monster appeared in Red Leaf City?
Especially when he saw that after the car was started, it could move forward without manpower, which made him even more dumbfounded.
At this time, he finally understood where Zhang Feng's confidence came from.
There is such a big guy, even if he can't win, he can retreat calmly, he doesn't believe that in this environment, someone will chase after him.
Besides, with such thick armor, like a turtle shell, they just can't catch up, and they may not be able to break it!
After understanding this, Rat Daqiang's eyes were a little excited, he knew that Marlowe and they were saved!
"Hold on!"
……
At this time, Marlowe was not doing very well.
"Can I go out?"
Marlowe asked.
Abbe shook his head.
"No, this hotel has been sealed off by them, there are people watching every place, when our people go out, someone will stop us in the name of searching for assassins, and don't let us go out, by the way, in our hotel, the other guests have already left, only us are left."
"Huh, what a lame excuse? Assassin? ”
Listening to Abbe's words, Marlowe asked one of his subordinates with a frown.
"How much food do we have?"
"At present, with us people, it is no problem to save a little and eat for a month."
The subordinate looked at the ledger and said.
In addition to the food they brought with their caravan, many of their goods were grain and food, after all, the various foods in Red Leaf City were so delicious, and selling food was also a good business.
They have a lot more food in store than they seem.
However, this is not the way to go.
Although in the past two days, the other party only surrounded him and did not make too radical moves, but Marlowe knew that this Earl Longman would definitely not give up.
It is only a matter of time before the two sides clash head-on.
After Marlowe's analysis, they are definitely not opponents of each other, after all, the difference in numbers is too great.
If the opponent doesn't have too many high-level combat power, Marlowe and Abbe may have the possibility of breaking through, but the others will definitely not be spared.
Even Marlowe occasionally wondered what would happen if he had caught the Earl of Longman at the banquet, after all, the knights at the banquet were all strong.
But there is no if, since it has been encountered, it can only be faced.
"I don't know what happened to Rat Daqiang, I hope he can meet the city lord and bring the news here to the lord......"
"Hey, it is estimated that he is also very lucky, it doesn't matter if we die, but if Lord Zhang Feng doesn't know, then it will be too worthless for us to die!"
“……”
Although Marlowe is also worried about Rat Daqiang, I don't know if he can meet the city lord, but now he doesn't have time to sigh, as long as there is still a chance, they will not give up.
"How sure do you think we are if we break through?"
Marlowe asked Abbe.
Only the two of them are the strongest here.
"I don't think there's much of a chance, because I want to protect Miss."
Marlowe nodded.
The other party has people who must be protected, and if this happens, the combat effectiveness will definitely be somewhat reduced.
And Marlowe couldn't have left his soldiers behind.
In this way, there is no hope for them to break through.
"Are we all going to die?"
Anne looked at Abbe pitifully, she didn't want to die, but if that time really came, she felt that she would not be afraid.
"Maybe there's a silver lining ......"
The glimmer of life that Abbe said, Marlowe probably understands.
It's just that the blizzard suddenly stopped, and then they took advantage of its difficulty to launch a sneak attack, maybe so that they could leave.
As for the possibility that Rat Daqiang sent the news to Zhang Feng and moved to the rescue, everyone almost never thought about it, after all, Silver Pine City is so far away from Red Leaf City, and there is a snowstorm outside, even if Red Leaf City has this combat power, it will not be able to get by.
Anne gave Abbe a look.
The two walked to the corner together, and Anne groped for a golden token from her body and whispered to Abbey:
"Do you think if I take this thing out, the other party will let us go?"
Seeing the token, Abbe's expression was not surprised, and she shook her head.
"If you weren't involved, he might be jealous, but you've been involved, if the other party knows your identity, I'm afraid he will do it directly, after all, he has offended you, and if you go back, he will be in big trouble in the future......"
Anne thought of Abbey's words, but she still had a glimmer of hope, but now it seemed that it still wouldn't work.
Abbe felt that Anne's luck was too much.
With her identity, if she dies here, it will really be ...... Unlucky!
Anyone will be unlucky, including Count Longman!
……
While Marlowe and the others were discussing countermeasures, Silver Pine City was also not at peace.
In the castle of Silver Pine City.
Longman said angrily:
"The assassin hasn't been found yet!"
"I didn't find ...... yet."
"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!"
Longman directly picked up a vase on the table and smashed it on the head of this subordinate, and the other party did not dare to dodge at all.
"Adults are angry~"
Marcie hurried over and gently hugged Earl Longman's arm.
"Whew~ What a bunch of rubbish! Obviously he was locked up in a dungeon, but he still let him run away, forget it, he dared to come back and attack me, do you know, I almost moved my head! ”
Listening to the roar of the Earl, the people below trembled, and even Marcy did not dare to speak.
After all, it is true that they are not strict in guarding this matter, and they have a lot of responsibility.
Of course, if this matter is really said, it will be blamed on Count Longman, but this must not be said.
If this is said, I am afraid that it will not be directly beheaded by the angry Earl Longman!
"Get out, get out, check for me, you must find out where he is!"
"Yes!"
The subordinates retired.
"Wait!"
Earl Longman suddenly stopped them again.
"What happened to those merchants in Red Leaf City?"
"Back to the Earl, they came out a few times before, but after being stopped by our people, they stopped going out."
"Huh? They don't go out? Haven't been out? ”
"Yes, sir."
"And where does their food come from? I remember that I had already ordered that the guests and the owner of that inn were all gone, and the food was taken away, could someone smuggle food to them? ”
In the end, Count Longman had a bad look in his eyes.
"No, my lord, it's because they're all merchants and they've traveled long distances, so they bring a lot of food with them, and a lot of their goods are food, so ......"
The subordinate hurriedly explained:
"So what?"
Count Longman's eyes were unkind.
"So if we want to trap them and make them surrender because they don't have food...... It may take a long time. ”
Some of his subordinates were trembling, for fear that the earl would come again.
"How long does it take?"
Count Longman's face was ugly, but this time he calmed down a little.
"Marcie? What do you think we should do? ”
The other party had plenty of food that Count Longman didn't expect, and Marcy didn't expect, so she spoke directly:
"I thought, why don't we just do it? The more you delay, the more you agree that there will be variables! ”
Hearing Marcy's words, Count Longman was still a little hesitant, if he could get these goods without blood, it would definitely be the best, but judging from Marlowe's attitude, it was obviously impossible.
In that case, don't blame him for being embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'll let those soldiers obey you, as for what to do, I don't want to know, I just want to see the gold coins! Go ahead. ”
"Yes!"
Marcy answered, then slowly stepped back.
"Marlowe, hmph, you wait!"
"Guys, hurry up and find the assassin for me! If you can't find it, don't come back! ”
"Yes!"
When everyone had retreated, Count Longman lifted his clothes and sat down slowly in his chair as he looked at the long bandaged scar on his belly.
"Wait until I find you, huh......"
……
"Someone's coming!"
In the hotel, the soldier who was staring outside suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Someone's coming? ”
Marlowe walked to the window and looked down, and could see a group of soldiers walking towards the hotel, and the person at the front was none other than Marcy!
"Huh! Is this already unbearable? ”
Marlowe turned to the crowd and said:
"Earl Longman has already sent someone over, although I don't know what to do this time, but it's definitely not a good thing, everyone pay attention, it's best to stay in the room and don't come out!"
After listening to Marlowe's explanation, those merchants who had no ability to fight naturally hid in their rooms.
The rest were soldiers, and some of their own bodyguards.
Anne didn't go in, Abbe held her hand tightly, and Abbe felt safer to keep her by his side.
Knock knock~
Soon, footsteps could be heard outside the door.
With a few knights, Marcie swaggered over to Marlowe and the others.
"Hey Marlowe, are you having a good time in Silver Pine City these days?"
Marcy spoke deliberately.
"Good."
Marlowe was equally concise.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Marlowe's face did not show any panic, regret and other emotions, Marcie was a little disappointed, but she didn't care very much, because it would be there later!
"There is an assassin in our Silver Pine City, and someone sees him coming to you, I think you outsiders are very suspicious, you say, do you give me an explanation?"
Marcie said with a smile.
They came to buy and sell by force, but now there is an assassin who simply takes advantage of this, to put it bluntly, this reason can be justified, and the reputation of the Earl will not be greatly damaged.
"I can't."
Marlowe is still a treasure trove of words.
"You!"
Seeing Marlowe's reaction, Marcy's face turned a little blue with anger.
It's hard to die when it's over!
"I'll be straightforward, on the orders of Lord Earl Longman, search for you outsiders, and if you find any suspicious people or things, bring them back to the City Lord's Mansion immediately!"
As soon as Marcie's words fell, several knights behind her instantly stepped forward, and some of them even placed their hands on the hilt of their swords, as if they might draw their swords at any moment.
Not to be outdone, the soldiers behind Marlowe also stepped forward.
Neither side seems willing to back down.
Marcy was a little surprised, she didn't expect that at such a time, Marlowe was still so tough, he was really not afraid of death?
"Against Lord Earl in Silver Pine City, you are looking for death!"
Marcy didn't give up, if she could get these things just by words, she would definitely be rewarded by the city lord, she originally wanted to work hard, but now it seems that Marlowe has no idea of giving in at all.
"And then?"
Marlowe's tone was a little confused.
"And then? And then you will die! ”
Marcie doesn't understand where Marlowe's confidence comes from! She spoke viciously.
"Oh? Is it? But you seem to have forgotten one thing. ”
Marlowe's voice was a little cold.
"What's the matter?"
Marcie spoke meaningfully.
"You're too close to me!"
Not good!
When Marcie senses something is wrong, she immediately wants to back off.
She was indeed a little carried away by the fact that she was so close to a knight, and this knight's name was Marlowe!
But her speed seemed to Marlowe in slow motion.
Marlowe reached out and grabbed Marcy's neck with precision, then pulled out the knight's sword at his waist and pressed it against Marcy's neck.
It's all in between the lights and the fire.
By the time the knights on the other side reacted, Marlowe had already captured Marcy, and as long as she moved, Marcy would be in a different place!
"Let go of Marcy!"
There were knights roaring, but their hearts also trembled a little, because they didn't see Marlowe at all!
If Marlowe hadn't come to deal with Marcy, but to deal with any of them, he would have died a long time ago!
It's all knights too, why is there such a big gap!
In the face of these knights, Marlowe didn't look at them, but said to Marcy:
"You said you died first? Or do I die first? ”
"You!"
Marcie couldn't have imagined that she, who was still arrogant just now, would become Marlowe's hostage in an instant!
"Tell Earl Longman that if he wants to do business, we will welcome it, but if he wants to rob, then he will be embarrassed!"
Seeing that Marlowe didn't have the slightest intention of letting go of Marcy, the knights glanced at each other and immediately slowly retreated.
They knew that Marcy was not something they could save, and that they should go to the Earl rather than spend it here.
Although I may be taught a lesson by Lord Earl, if I stay here, I may die!
"Hey! Don't go, save me! ”
Under Marcie's desperate gaze, the knights left.
"How can this be ......"
She just came to test Marlowe's bottom line, if his attitude was really tough, then she would have resorted to violent means, but she didn't expect that this temptation would try herself.
"Tie it up!"
With a wave of her hand, Marcy was thrown out by Marlowe like a chicken, and the soldier immediately stepped forward and tied her with a rope.
"Marlowe, if you dare to offend me, you will die! I'm a celebrity in front of the Earl, and if you don't let me go, I'll let the Earl kill you!" ”
"You haven't figured out your situation yet."
Marlowe shook his head, then ignored her.
He didn't expect Marcie to come over in person, and even scream in front of him, so Marcie caught him, but honestly, it didn't help.
Because he knew that it was impossible for Count Longman to let go of such a large fortune because of a woman, and most importantly, even if Count Longman let him go, where would they go?
The current situation is that going out is death, and staying here is also death.
However, Marlowe is not the one to sit still, and now that the two sides have torn their faces, it will not be a few knights who will come next time.
He needed to do something.
"You're going to capture Earl Longman!"
Hearing Marlowe's plan, Abbe's eyes widened.
I have to say, it's a crazy idea, but when you think about it, it seems to be really doable!
Because if they want to leave Silver Pine City safely, they must wait until the blizzard stops, and Earl Longman will definitely not let everyone wait, so he can only capture him, and he has to be willing if he is unwilling!
It's just that this idea is a bit difficult, after all, the castle is the most severe place, even if Marlowe wants to kill it with a suitable difficulty, he doesn't think that the castle is also this kind of new knight.
To say that there are not many powerful knights in Silver Pine City, he doesn't believe it.
Marlo and Abbe discussed and prepared to attack the City Lord's Mansion before the other party could react, but the plan could not catch up with the changes.
This area is surrounded by soldiers!
"How could it be, how could they be so fast!"
Marlowe was a little incredulous.
You must know that he counts the time, and he didn't kill those knights because he let the other party know that he is strong, and then he has scruples, and when he comes again, he will definitely be very prepared.
And in this time of their preparation, Marlowe has every time to attack the City Lord's Mansion!
Although it may not be successful, there is still a chance to try, but now, looking at the thousands of soldiers outside and looking at the more than thirty knights, Marlowe feels that his best chance is gone.
Outside the hostel.
Several knights were exchanging ears.
"Seriously, the assassin really escaped to this hotel?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"This ......"
The knight was a little confused.
He had just been frightened by Marlowe, and Marcie had been captured, and he was about to go back and report the situation to the Earl, reassess Marlowe's combat effectiveness, and then send more soldiers and knights over again.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he ran into the knights who had captured the assassins.
Because the Earl hated the Assassin so much, he devoted almost half of the city's strength to frantically searching for the Assassin.
Some time ago, everyone finally discovered the figure of the assassin, and they mobilized troops all the way to force the assassin into the encirclement, that is, this hotel.
You say, it's not a coincidence!
The knight, who had just been almost scared by Marlowe, instantly held his head high.
"Brothers, it just so happens that the assassins are inside, and those merchants from Red Leaf City are also inside, they have a very powerful knight, we rushed in and served it!"
The other knights already knew about Marcie's capture.
Someone went to tell the Earl, and now everyone is a little hesitant to rush in, after all, the other party has hostages.
At this time, a middle-aged knight in the team spoke:
"Rush straight in, the assassins will be caught, and these merchants will be caught! Rest assured, Lord Earl will not blame us! ”
The middle-aged knight knew Earl Longman very well and knew that he would definitely give up on Marcie in the face of this situation.
Hearing this knight's words, everyone instantly relieved their hearts.
This is the strongest of them all! His words can replace the words of the Earl to a certain extent!
"Attack!"
Someone gave an order.
Knock, knock!
The soldiers at the front, holding shields and long knives, shrank neatly to close the encirclement.
The spearman in the back set up the spear, and the cold and shining spearhead made people shudder.
And the most terrifying are the archers at the back, who bend their bows and arrows, just waiting to enter the range, it will be a stormy blow! The wooden inn will not be able to carry these arrows!
As the saying goes, when there are more than 100 people, there are thousands of soldiers here, and the psychological pressure caused by the joint attack makes the merchants in the hotel dare not breathe.
Marlowe and Abbe also stared out the window with solemn eyes.
This stop is inevitable!
Seeing that there were a thousand archers on the other side, Marlowe commanded:
"All the merchants came to the middle, and the soldiers were armed with crossbows and steel shields, and stood on the perimeter, raising their shields, and arranging their formations!"
"Yes!"
The merchants felt trembling and came to the middle.
The soldiers immediately opened several marked cargo boxes, each containing several silver half-man-high shields and several crossbows.
Some soldiers skillfully wound their crossbows, others held their shields in their hands and knelt with other soldiers holding them.
Click!
The shield is jammed.
A shield wall appears.
There was another shield stand on the shield wall, and in the blink of an eye, a shield ball like an upside-down bowl was formed, enveloping everyone inside!
Meanwhile, upstairs from Marlowe and them, in a darker room.
The faint smell of blood wafted in the room, a thin figure half-kneeling on the bed, she moved her pointed ears, heard the movement outside, quietly came to the window, did not make a trace of footsteps, and secretly opened the window with her tail, waited, and found that she was not attacked by arrows, then she dared to stretch out her head and aim.
Just seeing the thousands of soldiers below, her face was ugly.
"It's over!"
