Chapter 1373: The Taste of Blood
"Where does the name come from?"
"Nolan, this is my brother, Bunos, and we're from Frozen Town. β
When questioned by the checkpoint inspectors, Negan Murray replied casually.
Although the two had already inquired before arriving at Sinking Pond Bay that it was better for the censors facing the Grey Keep to be honest, otherwise they would likely run into big trouble when they arrived in the south, they had no intention of going to the Grey Keep in the first place.
As long as they pass through the cage mountain, they are the territory of the Dawn Kingdom, where there are large villages and towns where they can hide, and with their own strength, the two of them are not worried about their future lives.
Therefore, it is less noticeable to disguise themselves as commoners along the way than nobles.
Even they had already agreed that they could usually get a position as a guard or patrol member with the lord, and they would have a decent status during the day, and the night would be their time of freedom. As long as you stay at those remote crossings, you won't have to worry about finding a lonely escapee.
Just like they did in Eternal Winter.
"Oh, it's quite far from Sunken Pond Bay," said the inspector as he took notes, "has the news of the devil's defeat spread so quickly? There are really few northerners like you among the fugitives. β
Negan was slightly shocked in his heart, the other party was clearly an ordinary person from the perspective of appearance and clothing, and most of the ordinary people he had seen only knew the place he was in, and the word "well-informed" had never been related to them. But the people of Grey Castle in front of him not only knew about Frozen Town, but also said the distance of this little-known town!
"Yes...... I also heard from a businessman friend that it won't be long before the number of people coming from Yongdong increases, right?"
As he answered, he was also secretly glad that the town he chose was not far from the wolf's heart, and if it was Snow Castle located in the north of Eternal Winter, I was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of the other party.
"I hope so. The inspector looked at Talos Murray, "By the way, can you lift your turban's turban from your brother's face?"
"He's been scratched by wild beasts, so it's not too convenient to show people......"
"I'm sorry, but it's the rule, if there are obvious features, I have to write a report. β
Negan frowned.
Damn, it's just a watchdog.
The eldest brother is a knight who has been officially canonized!
If he was in the wild, he would have pulled this guy's tongue out alive!
"Well, no big deal. Talos Murray replied coldly, "It's just a glance." He lifted the face towel, revealing the curled and twisted cheeks underneath, probably too frightened, and the inspector couldn't help but take a step back, and the people around him let out a gasp. But even so, the Grey Castle people persistently completed the record.
"So...... This is your nameplate," he said, handing Negan two pieces of metal, "as the only proof of exchange for a new identity, remember not to lose it." Now let's go to the detention area and wait. β
This guy is scared.
Negan took the nameplate and sneered in his heart.
The eldest brother's expression seemed to be bland, but in fact he had moved his murderous intent, and the momentum tempered by this kind of sword struggle was not at all something that civilians could bear. Coupled with his current hideous appearance, the deterrent power has multiplied several times, and the other party has already performed well without sitting on the ground.
Unfortunately, this is never a place to make a big fuss, and there are soldiers from the Gray Fort with guns at the checkpoint, and no matter how good they are, it is difficult for them to avoid the invisible iron crossbow.
"Let's go. Talos lowered his bandana and nodded.
"Yes," Negan pushed through the crowd and made the first to enter the harbor terminal. Soon, however, his pace slowed down. "Brother, they're going to take them all away......"
Talos also took note of the arrangements of the Grey Castle people.
The original plan of getting through the checkpoint and finding a chance to act alone sounded good, but the other side did not give the refugees a chance to disperse again. From the checkpoint to the detention area, they are basically surrounded by strips of brightly colored cloth, and the seemingly sparse refugees will be guided into the pier and board the big ship docked on the shore as long as they follow the strips of cloth.
The strips of cloth didn't have any restrictive effect, but the patrolling Greykeep soldiers didβthey wandered around the streets, and if the two of them crossed the strips to break away from the crowd, the guys wouldn't turn a blind eye.
The biggest gap from the idea is undoubtedly the city itself.
The core area of Sunken Pond Bay is full of ruins, not to mention the residents, and not even a single intact house can be found, which not only makes it impossible for them to blend in with the local people, but also makes it extremely difficult to hide their whereabouts.
This is completely different from Eternal Winter!
Obviously, they are all occupied by the devil, but whether it is Snow Castle or other cities, they are basically intact, but I didn't expect it to change completely in the south.
"What are we going to do?" Negan couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety, once he boarded the ship, the rest of the matter was left to fate. If they go straight to the Grey Keep, won't there be nowhere to escape?
Staying where they are is obviously not the way to go, and for the fugitives, they want to leave the devil's infested territory as soon as possible, and if they do not move forward, they will also be targeted by the patrols.
"You are just too impatient to never be canonized by Your Majesty. Talos Murray exhaled, "Go slowly, don't stop." The docklands are so large that it is impossible for the Grey Castle people to be seamless, and just look at their number, there are no more than a hundred at most. As long as we look carefully, we will definitely have a chance to get out. β
Hearing his brother say this, Negan gradually calmed down.
No matter how crazy the eldest brother was when he killed someone, he was as calm and composed as ice until he enjoyed the victory, and as long as he did what he instructed, there was no threshold that he couldn't cross.
Half an hour later, Negan Murray saw an opportunity.
"Brother, look there!" he exclaimed in a low voice.
β...... Incredible. Talos observed for a moment and nodded in agreement, "I have to say that the people of the Grey Castle are indeed extraordinary in terms of crooked ways, even carrying carriages to such an extent. β
I saw that in the corner of the wharf, there were more than ten four-wheeled carts, their size was extremely amazing, and the goods carried were not comparable to ordinary carriages. They seem to have provided the food and other supplies needed by the refugees, at least as there were porters shuttling between the docks and the four-wheeled vehicles, carrying bags of goods to the ships.
The number of people there is more chaotic and overlapping with the detention area, so it is not too difficult to get close to the vehicles.
However, even if they are next to the car, it does not mean that they can escape the control of the Grey Castle - unless they can run past the firearms, they will be caught up by the reacting patrol sooner or later.
The only viable way is to carjack and escape.
Although these four-wheeled vehicles were large, they still needed to be driven by people, and unlike horse-drawn carriages, the coachmen seemed to be encased in the front of the carriage. In other words, they have the opportunity to hijack the driver while keeping themselves undetected.
Negan and Talos glanced at each other, instantly confirming what was in each other's minds.
Using the cover created by the huge hull, find the vehicle ready to leave, then aim the dagger at the driver's throat, and the rest is a matter of course.
The two of them sprang into action.
And the whole process can be described as thrilling.
Although many porters noticed the two people who were getting farther and farther away, at most they reminded them of the direction of boarding, and no one came up to check them. They also pretended to be attracted by the giant vehicle at the right time, and easily fooled the busy crowd - after all, everyone has their own business to do, and no one wants to cause more trouble.
As soon as they entered the blind spot, Negan and Talos quickly bent down and ran fast against the body, and soon approached the loaded and unloaded vehicles on the periphery.
Seeing that they are only one step away from the success of their plan.
At this moment, a curious inquiry suddenly came from behind the two.
"Who are you?"
Negan felt a chill in his hairs stand on end.
He jerked his head back, only to see a woman in a cloak behind him.
The other party tilted his head, and the drooping eaves covered most of his face.
He reached out to his waist, but was secretly held down by Talos, "I'm sorry...... We are refugees from Frozen Town, and we wanted to get up close and personal with these amazing creations, but we didn't expect to make it all the way here. β
"I see, refugees......" the woman smiled, but had no intention of leaving, "but why does the smell of blood on your bodies be so strong?"
