Chapter Thirty-Eight: Attacking the Lair
With a few waves of the custom-made double skull, Liu Zheng paid the balance satisfied.
This special weapon is about 1.4 meters long, with bones and steel tips at both ends, and the chain mail can be broken when poked below, and the plate armor will be broken and broken with a hammer, which can be called a battlefield killer.
Back at the Prancing Horse Hotel, Sherwood was already waiting at the door, changing into new clothes and recovering a lot.
took him to see Yun Feng and told him about the situation.
Although Yun Feng was not very indignant, he did not object to taking Sherwood down.
After all, having an indigenous person as a helper can indeed play a lot of roles.
The first job given to Sherwood was to keep an eye on the thief Jett, and Yun Feng had almost died of his snoring in the past few days.
Just as Sherwood had arrived, he hastened to open another room for him to go with Jet.
Time passed, and on the afternoon of the seventh day, Amberi returned.
"There were probably sixty or so people in the lair, all lightly armoured, with a lot of crossbows and bows, but no heavy weapons. There are only two roads to go up, a large road heavily guarded, and a small road with only a few guards, but very narrow. Ambori finished the information in one breath.
"Good, it's your added bonus." Liu Zheng gave Amberi another 500 dinars.
"Thank you, sir, are we free?" Ambery asked cautiously.
"Of course, but after beating the nest. You don't think I'm going to let you go right now, do you? Liu Zheng looked at him strangely, as a person in the gray area, he shouldn't be so naΓ―ve.
Also, if you were yourself, you can't just let them go now. Amberi actually knew that it was just a test time.
Once you've figured out the situation, it's time to go to help.
Liu Zheng took Amberi to the largest tavern in the area, the Headhunter Tavern.
"Drink your wine, I don't like people staring at me." Liu Zheng glanced at the person who was looking at him.
Everyone looked away, the name of "Swift Wolf" had spread, and no one wanted to provoke him for such a trivial matter.
Liu Zheng walked to the corner with a few people wearing leather chain mail with nails, this should be the Buckley mercenary that Yun Feng said.
Originally, Yun Feng was going to come, but considering Liu Zheng's strength and fame, it might be useful, so he gave Liu Zheng a science popularization and let him come later.
"I have a job, are you interested?" Liu Zheng asked.
"In fact, my mates and I were looking for a captain. If you are willing to pay 900 dinars, my 6 companions and I will be willing to obey your orders. The Buckley hoplite, who was in the lead, said, with a glance.
"What's your name?" Liu Zheng asked.
"My name is Bakzan, sir." The Buckley hoplite replied.
"It's too little, if you can reach out to more companions, I can pay you extra." Liu Zheng skillfully uses the "money ability".
Bakzan's expression moved, it seemed that it was a big business, and he said cautiously: "My lord, if you are willing to give me three days, I can gather no less than 20 more companions. β
"40, I'll give you another 1,000 dinars personally. There was no need for cavalry, mainly sappers. Do you have a supply convoy?" Yun Feng has already listed the recruitment plan.
"We have a cooperative supply caravan." Bakzan replied.
"Then I'll use yours again, and I'll leave in three days."
"Okay, Captain, follow your orders." Bakzan decisively changed his tune.
Three days later, in the morning, Liu Zheng set off for Raven City with Bakzan and his 46 companions.
On the way, he also encountered a group of caravans that were robbed by bandits, and Liu Zheng changed to new equipment because of itchy hands and rushed up on the spot.
The broken weapons in the hands of the bandit did not pose any threat, he was like an elephant rushing into the crowd, with a nose, oh no, a hammer is a thief falling to the ground.
"I don't think our captain needs to hire us." Another Buckley mercenary leader was dumbfounded as he watched their employer hammer people himself.
"Maybe Lord Wallace wanted to take some of the audience with him." Bakzan has a good sense of humor.
After hammering the bandits, the caravan gave 1,000 dinars as a thank you and offered to hire them to escort them all the way to Raven City for 1,500 dinars.
Anyway, by the way, Liu Zheng, who was bleeding heavily in his wallet, of course would not refuse.
The next road was calm, after all, more than forty Buckley sappers armed with crossbows, even the rogue knights would not want to provoke them.
The escort caravan slowed down, and the next night, the group arrived at Raven City.
Without an order, mercenaries generally settle the problem of food and lodging on their own.
Liu Zheng asked Bakzan to take people to move freely, and he would just go to the outside of the city on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
He didn't worry that the mercenaries would drink too much or do other things that would affect their combat effectiveness, Yun Feng had told him that Buckley's mercenaries were national and very professional.
Although with the political sensitivity of the Chinese, Liu Zheng felt that Barkley sent mercenaries to the Pande countries to show his unease and kindness, but he was not a king, so he did not worry about it.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Zheng left Sherwood and a Buckley infantry behind, watched Jet, and then marched with Yun Feng and his troops towards the mountains to the west.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Liu Zheng called Bakzan over: "You take someone to follow Yunfeng to attack from the main road, and then choose the two who shoot the most accurately and follow me on the path." β
Bakzan nodded, and called two sappers out of the group.
He looked at Yun Feng.
"Don't worry, Brother Dao, I'm lucky enough to have four missions, and I promise that I won't delay things." Yun Feng patted his chest.
Liu Zheng gave a cheering gesture, and then took Amberi and the two sappers to the path.
The trail is hidden in the taiga, and there is a large area of bush that cannot be found if Amberi had not led the way.
"How did you find out about this path?" Liu Zheng couldn't help but be a little curious.
"There's a prostitute named Lena, and she has an old client who belongs to the Red Brotherhood, and I paid 800 dinars to buy this news from her." Ambori was still a little distressed when he thought about it.
Sure enough, it was much more convenient to have natives to help, and it was not good for him to inquire by himself, so he gave a thumbs up to his own inspiration.
The path is difficult, but Liu Zheng is in good physical condition, and the Barkley sappers are running all year round, which is not hard, but Ambery is so tired that he rolls his eyes.
Finally, when they were about to reach the intersection, Liu Zheng made a gesture, and the four of them stopped.
"I count 321, you shoot the one on the left, you shoot the one with the horn, Amberry, you shoot the one on the right." Liu Zheng looked at the guards at the intersection and arranged.
"Yes, Captain (sir)." The three of them whispered.
"3, 2, 1, shoot!" Liu Zheng let out a low roar.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounded almost simultaneously, and the three Red Brotherhood guards fell in response, leaving only one guard shocked and dazed.
It wasn't until he saw Liu Zheng and the others appear that he remembered to pick up the horn on the ground.
However, it was too late, and Liu Zheng brandished a double-headed cane, stabbed his hand bones with the tail of the stick, and knocked him into the ribcage with another stick.
Without looking at the guards who were still twitching on the ground, Liu Zheng listened to the horn of the Barkley mercenaries to attack, "Quick, rush in, and fight them inside and out." β
"Your command! My lord. "The two sappers had never seen such an employer, they didn't seem to be mercenaries, but tool men for cheering.
But this feeling is unexpectedly good.
