Chapter 160: It's You Who Caught It
"Boss Levins, this is the Hepburn family's warehouse, which is dedicated to the turnover of goods, and it usually stores goods, but recently because the city needs a lot of materials for celebrations, the warehouse has been emptied almost at once. ”
Taylor's men took Allen and their convoy around the city to turn left and right, and finally took them to a remote warehouse in the East Side, and pointed to the empty storehouse and introduced them to Allen.
"Thank you, sir!"
Steven graciously thanked Taylor's man and casually gave him a small bag.
"You're welcome, this place is very spacious, you can park the carriage in the backyard, if you don't dislike it, there are still a few houses in the backyard that are vacant, you can also use them, the hotel in the city is not easy to find now, in a few days Lord Taylor will come and complete the deal with you when he has time." ”
Taylor's man flipped the bag in his hand, and there was a crisp sound of metal colliding inside, which seemed to have an indescribable charm, and immediately put on a smiling face, and said with a pleasant face.
Alan and the others were worried that they couldn't find a place away from the crowd, this warehouse was not only remote, but also idle now, and there were only two people in charge of guarding, which was very suitable, so as soon as they heard what the other party said, they immediately agreed.
After sending Taylor's men away, Steven instructed the coachman to drive the carriage into the courtyard, and then rewarded them with some gold coins, and told them to drag the two men in charge of guarding the warehouse to a nearby bar to drink and have fun, and they were not allowed to come back until dawn the next day, of course it was better to play for a few more days, and then come back after the transaction was completed.
"Get a few captives out!"
Seeing that the idlers were gone, Allen first ordered Sergei and Fresnel to stand guard outside the warehouse before speaking to Harvey and Stanny.
In a daze, Lawson woke up again, he only felt a pain in the back of his head, and it took him a while to wake up, vaguely remembering that he had been caught and interrogated by horse bandits, and forced to write a letter asking for help, and then he was knocked unconscious again. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was no longer in the wooden house he used to be, but a spacious room, looking at the high ceiling, like a warehouse for stacking supplies.
"Deputy Commander, why are you here, didn't you go after Emaar?"
A familiar voice came from the side, and Lawson followed the voice, only to see that there were several people tied to the pillar beside him.
"It's you, why did you get caught?"
Through the dim light, Lawson quickly recognized that the few people tied up around him were the three captains under him.
"Yes, Deputy Commander. We received your letter of request for help and rushed over with our men, who knew that we didn't see you when we arrived at the place, but fell into an ambush by the horse bandits, and then the three of us were also targeted by the horse bandits, the strength of the horse bandits was very strong, and all three of us were caught. By the way, how did you get caught, Deputy Commander?"
A group leader replied. Lawson's eyes swept over them, and he saw that their robes had signs of being torn from the fight, and even blood from their wounds, and knew that what they said was true.
"Don't mention it. Soon after the news was sent, we were spotted by the horse bandits, and then they lured us to a wooded edge to launch a sneak attack on us, as you said, the horse bandits are very powerful, especially the fire great magician Emaar, I led more than 30 people to be wiped out, only I was besieged by them, and finally outnumbered by them. ”
Lawson saw that the three captains did not know that he had betrayed them, and of course he would not take the initiative to say that the letter that attracted them was written by himself under the coercion of the enemy. Although when he wrote this letter, his purpose was not to betray his subordinates, but to save him from the bandits, now it seems that he underestimated the bandits, and not only could he not escape now, but his subordinates also came in to be his companions.
"The rope that binds us is not thick enough for us to try to break free. ”
In order to test the strength of the rope that tied him, a captain shook his shoulder, and the rope immediately made a "clattering" sound, and if he used his fighting spirit, he might be able to break free from the rope.
"Wait! Don't use vindictiveness. ”
Lawson hurriedly stopped the captain's reckless behavior.
"Why?"
The captain asked, puzzled.
"See if you have a few wounds on your body?"
Lawson reminded.
"Commander, I have a small wound on each arm and leg, as if I was stabbed by a sword, but the wound is very shallow, it is not serious, and it does not affect my movement. ”
"Mine too. ”
Soon all three captains found the same wound on their arms and legs.
"I also have it on my body, and the wound really doesn't hurt us much, but there is a premise for this, that is, don't use fighting energy, otherwise it will stimulate the toxins in the wound, so when you break free from the rope, it will be your time to die. ”
Lawson explained in a dejected voice.
"How so?"
Several captains looked at their wounds and said in disbelief.
"Have you noticed that we have so many people, why are only a few of us in charge of officials being captured as prisoners?"
Since they couldn't use their fighting spirit to break free, the topic of several people shifted elsewhere.
"Captain De Yero is not here. ”
Lawson also looked around when he heard this, and found that it was indeed as his subordinates said, only a few of them were tied up here, and none of them were soldiers, but the regimental commander Dejero was missing.
"After receiving the information, considering that there is still a need for someone to be in command in the church, only the three of us came, and Head Dejero remained in the church. ”
A group leader explained.
"Fortunately, you have a hand, otherwise we will all fall into the hands of the horse bandits, and the life of the Bishop will be in danger. ”
In fact, without the captain's explanation, Lawson also guessed that the reason why Dejero was not arrested was not because the horse bandits held him high, but because he did not fall for the trick at all.
"What, Deputy Master? You mean the bandits are here for Bishop Dennis. ”
A group leader asked in disbelief.
"The bandits once told me to my face that they had come to kill Bishop Dennis. ”
"Then what's the use of them grabbing a few of us, do they want to use us as hostages? Don't dream, Bishop Dennis will definitely not give in to a few of us. ”
"Maybe the bandits just want to weaken the guards around the Bishop in this way, so that it will be easier to attack. ”
"In this operation, we brought out more than 100 people, the horse bandits have no ability to eliminate us all, most of the brothers have already broken out, they will definitely bring the news back to Lua City, at that time, in order to ensure the safety of Lua City and Bishop Dennis, General Camp and Captain Stephen will definitely send people to take strict precautions, even if they kill us, they will not solve the problem. ”
Several captains analyzed in a rambling manner.
