Chapter 17: Vader, a one-man battle

Zoze and Vader followed Barnes Jr. through the alleys of the dock area, a maze of twists and turns, with occasional fires illuminating the road ahead from the low wooden houses on both sides, and walked for nearly ten minutes until they arrived at the door of Chopper's house.

"Grandpa Chopper, are you there? I'm Barnes Jr. Barnes Jr. said as he knocked on the door.

After a moment, Chopper carefully looked at the three people outside through the crack in the door, and did not open the door until he saw Little Barnes, and said in a low voice, "Oh, the God of Justice is above, it's great that you're okay, Little Barnes, your father was taken away by several professionals at the docks this afternoon, and I didn't see him come home until dark, I hope he can return safely." It's so late, what are you doing with me? You're hungry........"

Listening to Qiao Ba's chattering question, the time was urgent, Zuo Ze couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Hello, old man." I'm an adventurer, and I heard Barnes Jr. say you have a boat and I want to buy it. ”

Chopper was interrupted by Zuo Ze, turned his head to look at him unhappily and said, "My fishing boat? That's my lifeline, I don't sell it. ”

"Fifty platinum coins! I think this money is enough for you to buy a new boat. Zuo Ze continued.

Chopper looked at Zuo Ze and the three of them, especially after Barnes's red eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, then come over tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to get the boat." ”

Zuo Ze shook his head and said calmly: "I want a boat now!" It's fifty platinum coins, and I'm going to need all the food in your house, so you can take it out and tell Barnes Jr. where the boat is. ”

Chopper heard Zuo Ze's words, thinking about what happened to Barnes today, and he nodded helplessly, turned around and went back to the house to get food.

When Chopper moved all the food out, Zuo Ze put them in the dimensional bag, and finally handed the money bag to Chopper, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Chopper." But you should know that something has happened to the little Barnes family, in order to avoid trouble, you had better leave tomorrow and go to Silvermoon City, with this money, I think you can live well in Silvermoon City, remember to leave as soon as possible, you have never seen us. ”

After Zuo Ze finished speaking, he turned around and left, and followed Barnes Jr. to the dock to find a boat.

At the same time, Woolford stood at the Landil Hotel, where the fire had just been extinguished, and asked in a cold voice, "Haven't you caught the assassins of the Masked Mage Regiment yet?" Did the two high-level professionals find their information? ”

The head of the MI was sweating profusely and replied nervously, "I'm sorry, Lord Hughes. The Assassin has run out of the encirclement, and the City Guard has sacrificed a squad to catch him, and we are tracking him; As for the two high-level professionals, only one of them is known as Vader, who came from Outpost Town to kill a masked mage agent there, and the rest of the information cannot be collected at this time. ”

After hearing this, Woolford shouted angrily, "Waste, spend so much money on your military intelligence every year, you tell me this!" What about the purpose of the two high-level professionals coming to Nessham? Where are they from? You don't even know, so what's the use of what I want from you? With that, Woolford killed the head of the MI with a wave of his hand.

With a casual swing, throwing the blood from the knife on the ground, leaving a trail of blood, Woolford ordered to the soldiers around him, "Seal the city gates, I will keep them out of Nessam City!" You, yes, it's you, now you go tell the rats in the city, find me the damn assassins, I'm going to kill them all, the majesty of Neverwinter is not to be provoked! ”

The surrounding city guards took the order, and one of the officers who was called out went to find those gang members with a sad face, for fear that he would be slashed by the city lord if he didn't do a good job.

When Zoze and Vader found the fishing boat, they happened to hear the sound of slogans and footsteps coming from the inner city; Vader said with a serious face, "My lord, go quickly!" The soldiers of the city began to come. I'm going to open the water gate now, and you pay attention to the cold arrows and protect yourself. ”

Zuo Ze nodded, kept untying the cable in his hand, and said, "I know, you also have to pay attention to safety!" Out of the city, along the river 300 meters cross. ”

Vader pushed the fishing boat hard against the shore, watching as Zoze and Barnes Jr. rowed towards the water gate. Turned around, picked up the ice shield and started a one-man battle! The corners of Zuo Ze's eyes were a little moist, stabilized his mood, and paddled hard with the oars.

Fifty meters away from the water gate, Vader charged. Tonight's chaos made the officer in charge of guarding the water gate a little nervous, and he didn't know what was going on, so he had to stand on the city wall and look at the city, and tell the soldiers to be on guard. When he saw Vader appear and charge, the officer, who didn't have time to think about it, shouted, "Enemy attack! ”

Vader didn't think about quietly opening the water gate, the bigger the commotion here, the higher the security on Zuo Ze's side, as a summon of the brigade mage, it has become his instinct to protect the safety of the brigade mage.

"Drink!" At a distance of fifty meters, Vader rushed over in just a second, knocked over four or five soldiers in succession, and rushed to the camp of the city guards to kill, blocking, rushing, shield strikes, and backhand assaults...... Vader, who uses various martial arts, kills the city guards, and the soldiers who are the highest mid-level professionals (silver level) can't stop Vader's footsteps at all.

Rushing up the city wall, a whirling shield slashed, emptying the soldiers on the wall of the water gate, Vader handed the ice shield to his left hand to defend, holding the winch of the water gate in his right hand, and began to turn vigorously. The soldiers of the city guard were already frightened by Vader's ferocity, and when they saw Vader start to open the water gate, they only dared to surround him, and did not dare to come forward to attack.

The soldier was stupid, it didn't mean that the officer was also stupid, seeing that the water gate was being opened, he had to shoot Vader with his bow and arrow, and at the same time let the soldier come forward to attack, once the attacker was released, the city lord would not let him go.

"Attack, everyone attack! Give it to me, don't let him open the water gate, you should know the anger of the city lord, if you don't want to affect your family, just give it to me, kill him, the city lord will definitely have a reward, hurry! Reinforcements were coming right away. ”

Vader ignored the chaotic shouts of the officers at the city gate, and only wanted to open the water gate as soon as possible so that he could protect Zuo Ze.

The morale-boosting words of the city gate officer still worked, and the soldiers surrounding Vaderda finally began to attack, and the shield on Vader's left hand kept blocking the weapons around him, only occasionally fighting back.

The city guards saw that Vader's attacks weakened, and they became more emboldened, and the frequency of their attacks increased; The ice shield can no longer defend against all the attacks, Vader has to defend the vital points, and the rest of the attacks can only be passively received with his body, and ordinary steel weapons are not good for Vader's attacks, basically only cutting through his skin, like a knife on an old cowhide.

While the battle between Vader and the city guards was at a stalemate, Zoze and Barnes Jr. finally rowed the fishing boat down the current. At the same time, the city guards also discovered Zuo Ze's boat, knowing that this was the attacker's accomplices, seven or eight archers opened their bows and arrows at the fishing boat, seeing this situation, Zuo Ze had no choice but to let little Barnes continue rowing, standing in front of him himself, and intercepting the bow and arrow with his blade cloak.

Vader's self-safety winch finally opened the fence of the water gate, and the hope of breaking out of Nethamm was in sight.
