Chapter 0176: The Chase
Downing's idea was simple, to have a huge misunderstanding between the paladin and the Holy See, which would make it easier for the paladin to do things for him, so he gave the musket to the other party instead of doing it himself.
Cybertron killed ten people, the musket ran out of bullets, pulled the trigger, it was already useless, he put the musket away, the people of the church had already fled in all directions, and he quickly fled along Downing's path.
When he arrived at the car shop at the foot of the mountain, Downing saw Gerald, the car was still being repaired, the horses were still tied to the stable, and when he got closer, Downing wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Gerald, we need to get out of here. ”
Gerald didn't understand why he was in such a hurry. "But the vehicles were not yet maintained, and the horses were not fed. ”
Tang Ning walked straight into the stable, took a batch of sturdy horses, and threw them to an employee of the car dealership who came over with ten gold Caesars. "I need this horse. ”
He strapped his horse to a brand-new carriage and jumped into it. "Gerald, hurry up and get in the car. ”
The paladin's actions are quite crazy, killing people in broad daylight, not only the people of the church, it won't be long before the local sheriff's office will definitely dispatch a large number of sheriffs, and it will be even more troublesome when the time comes, so you must leave as soon as possible.
Gerald didn't know what was going on, but it looked like he had to do it, and jumped into the carriage when he got to it. "I'll drive. ”
"No, you have to sit in the car, now I'll come. The situation was critical, and Downing had to drive the carriage himself, and he watched as Gerald made it to the cart, and saw Cybertron who was also rushing after him.
The carriage sprang out and headed the paladin up, and as he passed, Downing reached out and dragged Cybertron up. "Sit down, we have to leave. ”
A number of sheriffs and paladins from the church chased after him, and Downing quickly turned the carriage around and left down the narrow street.
However, his route was not to leave the Rock City, but to go around these flat roads at the bottom of the Rock City, and at the foot of the Rock City was a circle of roads around the city, and there was no uphill or downhill, which was a good place to go around in circles.
Gerald saw the sheriffs and paladins struggling to chase after him, and panicked, "What did you do?"
Cybertron glanced back, sneered, and said, "Don't worry, it's just killing a few damn guys, there's nothing to be sorry about." ”
Gerard was frightened and looked at the paladin beside him. "Mr. Cybertron, you killed someone. ”
"That's right, I don't mind telling you that I killed a lot of people. Cybertron is now like a madman, smirking and saying, "It's exciting to blow their heads out." ”
He patted the roof of the car. "Man, we need to get out of here, the game is getting out of fun. ”
Downing took a black bag out of his arms and threw it into the car. "I think we have to go on, there's a friend who hasn't come here yet. ”
The paladin didn't know who it was, he took the black bag, opened it and saw that it was the ammunition for the musket, reloaded it into the musket, and then protruded through the window.
Every time a gun is fired, someone falls, which makes the chasing guys suffer, and the sheriffs hide where everything is hiding. "Hide, they're quite dangerous. ”
At this point, there are certain points on the hill that can be seen from a high vantage point, and visitors treat it as a game, applauding every time they see the paladins knock down their pursuers behind.
Soon Downing saw Stark coming down the mountain trail on horseback, and he whistled so that Stark could see him, and then turned off the side of the trail and followed it out of town.
Soon after, the curtain finally came to an end, and the carriage was waiting somewhere outside the city, and Downing got out of it and stood aside. "Man, your marksmanship is good. ”
Cybertron returned the musket to Downing and jumped out of the car, looking at the city of rocks in the distance, his face suddenly lost his smile, and he fell to his knees in pain, pounding the ground. "Why, I just want to prove my innocence. ”
Tang Ning looked at the back of the paladin, what a poor fellow, the reason that prompted him to do that just now was probably because of the anger after being disappointed in the Holy See again and again, now that everything has calmed down, his anger has subsided, and only despair remains.
He patted the paladin on the shoulder. "Don't be discouraged, man, there's hope, there's always a church that can prove your innocence. But he thought to himself, "Maybe only heaven can satisfy you." ”
Cybertron wept bitterly, his emotions almost collapsed, Downing felt the need to give the other party a little personal space, let the carriage be a little farther away, the sound of horses' hooves, it was Tom Stark catching up.
Tom Stark, who had changed into bounty hunter gear, hurried his horses to the front, looked at the kneeling figure in the distance, and asked Downing. "What's going on? What's going on?"
"It's just a little game, now it's time for us to go. Downing explained to Tom Stark, before returning to the paladin. "Well, we'll go to the next place next, do you want to go with us, I'd love to give you a ride, cheer up. ”
Cybertron's mood was quite low, but at least a bitter cry stabilized his mood temporarily, he got up and looked back at Tang Ning, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I don't seem to have any other plans than to accept your proposal." He had to continue his journey to the church in the next place.
After several people left, the city of rocks entered a state of emergency, and the local sheriff's office immediately conducted a damage assessment of what had happened earlier, and thirteen papal personnel, as well as four sheriffs, were injured, and many others were injured.
"Mr. Kono, the gangsters are quite vicious, they do not care about the existence of other people, they commit murder in broad daylight, they defy the law, they should be punished. "An officer from the Department of Justice reported to the head of the Department of Justice.
"Do you know what the gangsters look like?" As the head of the Sheriff's Department, Kono can't be indifferent, he has to take practical measures as soon as possible to avoid the loss of the local tourism industry, of course he doesn't care about the income of the residents, but every month he can collect a large amount of kickbacks from some local entertainment venues, such as erotic places for tourists to enjoy and casinos, which is a lot of money.
"It's a paladin. The Sheriff's Department explained to Kono. "Maybe we should inform the Holy See about this. ”
Suddenly, someone pushed the door open, and a subordinate interrupted the conversation between the two. "Chief, there is a person from the Holy See who wants to see you, and he says that he is from the Holy City. ”
John Wilson had missed his goal, in fact he was quite fast, and after walking for a while, he finally got a ride to the City of Rocks, and if it wasn't for the ride to the City of Rocks, he would still be on the road by now, and he had heard about those things when he got to the city, and he didn't have to think that those two guys must have done it.
In order to understand the specific situation at that time, he had to first find the Sheriff's Office, and the people who had now met the Sheriff's Office announced that he would take over the matter.
With the help of the Holy See, of course, this matter will have a faster result, which is very good for Curno. "No problem, we'll make it easy for you. ”
Now that John has taken over the case, he asks a little about the situation, and the church in the city of rocks still has some alive, and he goes to the church to calm down the rest of the church before leaving.
As for the so-called help from the Sheriff's Department, he was not interested at all, and there were some things that John did not tell the head of the Sheriff's Department, because those words might make Curno quite faceless. He would rather believe that the devil would do good than the sheriff who sits in his office all day and only knows how to eat sandwiches and read the newspaper. ”
Soon he learns that the guy had met a local carpenter, who then rode away from the city of rocks.
Following the news, John went to the carpenter's house and knocked on the door, a housewife with three children and a baby in her arms, this is the carpenter's family.
"Hello, ma'am, I'm a paladin of the Holy See, are you Mr. Stark's wife?" John looked polite, trying not to offend the other party.
He left and took up a job with a gentleman, who paid him a large sum of money to do some carpentry work. Stark's wife had heard about what had happened, but he didn't know it had anything to do with the kind young man he had met.
"Is that what the young man is?" John described it roughly.
Stark's wife nodded, excited, "You know him?"
"Yes, I'm a good friend of his, could you tell me what the gentleman is going to do your husband's carpenter's work?" John had to get closer, for he couldn't think of what those fellows were going to do when they got a carpenter.
"Stark didn't tell me. Mrs. Stark shook her head.
"Well, how long has your husband been a carpenter, has he had any side hustles, or has he had other occupations before. John had to keep digging and maybe find some connections.
"Stark has been doing this for a long time, and before that he was a soldier...... Or sheriff......" Mrs. Stark explained, "He served the country. ”
John's eyes showed excitement, and it seemed that those guys hired Stark to have something to do with Stark's previous profession, not his current carpenter's profession.
"Did they say where they were going?"
"No, I should have asked about these things, but I seem to have forgotten. "Mrs. Stark was a little sorry that she didn't even know where her husband had gone.
"Okay, Mrs. Stark, I need to go find my friend. ”
Bidding farewell to the city of rocks, and getting out of the city, John looked around, there was a fork in the road, which would lead to two different directions, using the Holy Light to investigate, he had memorized the breath of the paladin, and soon the Holy Light gave guidance, and now he got a new horse, and ran after it.
He was still wondering what they were going to do by hiring this former soldier or sheriff to increase their leverage in order to destroy the next church? As for why they wanted to go against the Holy See, it was not on his mind, he just had to kill these guys, and he shouldn't have to go against the Holy See for any purpose.
