Chapter 251: Response
Nadia's fate is unknown outside, and her own side lacks enough weapons and manpower, and Wallace outside may rush in at any time, Leah has never faced such a dangerous situation.
At this moment, a lot of things flashed through her mind, and she also thought of the words that Lola had said to her before, but even now she still does not regret her decision to save Daisy and Nadia, but she feels a little guilty about Laura on the side, it is her insistence that puts the latter in danger now.
Laura gritted her teeth, her face was full of unwillingness, but now there was no point in complaining, she could only clench the dagger in her hand and snort coldly, "Don't say I didn't warn you, you won't want to know what will happen when you are caught, so the best way is to wait for them to come in and die with them, even if it is better to die than to be caught." ”
Leah nodded her head and poured the gunpowder into the powder pool with trembling fingers.
The next moment, there was another gunshot outside the door, and everyone in the torture chamber suddenly became nervous, but after waiting for a while, Wallace and the guards outside did not rush in.
Leah immediately realized that they had fought with someone else, and that the group had gone elsewhere to cause a commotion had returned.
Among them, there were not only the remaining black maids, but also many strong male black slaves who joined in halfway, and when they saw Wallace and others surrounding the torture chamber, they immediately launched an attack on them.
Leah and the others did not miss this opportunity, and took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the torture room, and the leading male black slave ran to the front waving the pitchfork in his hand.
Leah came to the place where Nadia was lying for the first time, but found that the latter's chest was red and no longer breathing.
Leah's heart was sad, there were fewer and fewer brothers and sisters in a tribe before, but she didn't have much time to be sad, and in a short time, two black slaves fell there, and Wallace and the others took this opportunity to reload their bullets.
Leah knew they had to leave, but what she didn't expect was that Laura, who had been the fastest runner before, suddenly stood there, motionless, and handed Daisy on her back to another black maid.
Leah followed her gaze and saw Wallace, the butler, not far away.
There was anger burning in Laura's eyes, except for the time when she undressed, Laura kept silent about the scars on her body, and she didn't say how they came about, but seeing her now, Leah already understood everything.
"Don't be stupid, they have five guns over there, and even if you kill him, you won't be able to come back!" Leah said hurriedly.
A look of hesitation flashed in Lola's eyes when she heard this, and at this time the two of them had already distanced themselves from the person in front of them, Lola suddenly approached Leah, took advantage of the latter's unpreparedness to snatch the short musket in her hand, and pulled the trigger on Wallace, but the two sides were separated by more than twenty meters, and Lola had never practiced marksmanship, and this shot deviated from the target without accident, but it hit the arm of another guard.
There was a look of hatred on Laura's face, but she didn't delay any longer, and as they had just left on their front feet, Wallace had loaded his bullets and started shooting at them, and Leah saw a black maid who had come to meet them get shot in the cheek.
Leah and the others retreated with the wounded, but Wallace didn't dare to push too hard, after all, there were only five of them, and one of them was wounded in the arm, if they really fell into hand-to-hand combat, the casualties would definitely be not small.
So Wallace could only watch the gang of black slaves disappear into the night.
On the other hand, Laeri also drove the carriage to the gate of the manor, accompanied by Cauchy and several other negroes, all of whom came from different places, sailors, fishermen, slaughterhouse owners, etc., but all of them had been slaves in the colony, or had escaped, or had been invaded by pirates, and finally all of them were freed.
Because of the same experience, they all had a general sympathy for their fellow citizens on the island's plantations, and a group of people led by Cauchy even established a secret organization to help the runaways from the plantations, so when Laeri found them, they offered to help at the first time.
But after all, they are all serious people on the island, and in order to avoid being tracked down and retaliated against afterwards, they all covered their faces when they started tonight.
Led by Cauchy, they quickly took out the guards at the door.
And at this time, Leah and the others also ran over, Laeri was stunned, he found that tonight's movement was a bit big when he fought before, but when he received it, he found that this time the number of people was much more than expected.
Fortunately, in order to prevent accidents, they had two extra horses, and the slaves in the stables also drove Malcolm's two carriages out.
However, the pursuers behind him also came quickly, Cauchy and the others jumped out of the car, and shouted at Laeri while looking for cover to fight back, "You go first, I will help you buy time, I am not a slave on the manor, as long as I run to a place where no one is and throw away the gun and the face covering, they can't do anything to me." ”
Another black man who worked as a sailor on a pirate ship also said, "I am a member of the vanguard on the Lion, and if they dare to touch me, I must be careful of the revenge of my brother on board." ”
Now is not the time to be polite, not only the guards of Terence Manor, but also the reinforcements of several nearby manors are already about to arrive, and Laeri nodded at Cauchy and the others to express his gratitude.
Seeing that the appointed time had arrived, although there were still some people behind him, Laeri did not intend to wait any longer, and decisively pulled the reins of his horse, and six carriages full of black men broke through the darkness and drove towards hope and freedom ahead.
…………
Zhang Heng did not go to the beach, but chose to stay with Anne and Karina, waiting for the final news, he had done almost everything he could, and the rest could only depend on the situation on Laeri's side, of course, he did not put all his chips on the black gladiators, Zhang Heng also prepared for Laeri's defeat.
However, this will undoubtedly complicate things, and in addition, Zhang Heng also noticed that Karina on the side was a little absent-minded tonight.
"Didn't you take a break during the day?"
"I ...... I can't sleep a little. The businesswoman smiled a somewhat reluctant smile.
Zhang Heng handed the brewed coffee to Karina, who thanked him, took the coffee, and before he could say anything, the sailors who came to report rushed in, "Captain, Mr. Billy has received someone, and the Jackdaw has left the port!" Also, this is what the people over there asked me to bring to you. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out five letters from his bosom.
