Chapter 44: The Metal Carriage
In the borescope, an eyeball spins around. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It saw a metal carriage slowly entering the mountain pass surrounded by a group of people. It is striking that there are as many as four horses as the driving force in front, which shows that the carriage is very cumbersome.
Next to the carriage, a dozen or so people were dressed as denim in black leather jackets, high leather boots, and tight breeches. In addition to the spears that are carried on the back, many people are also equipped with revolvers. The horses under their crotches are all plump and elastic with their legs, and they can be seen to be of the highest quality. However, the most conspicuous thing is the shield symbol on the wide-brimmed cowboy hat.
The background color is sea blue, and the bottom is decorated with thorn flowers. A white-feathered seagull with its wings spread.
This group is the personal soldiers of the Pelos family.
As a member of Odin's richest family, this outfit is essential. But despite their uniform dress, they don't look pleasing to the eye at this time. The crumpled clothes and pants were more or less torn, and some of them were sticky with red blood stains that had already faded. There were even people with bandages on their limbs. And they looked very tired, they must have met some outlaws. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain why the number of escorts of the big family was only so small.
"Boss! The Pyros dogleg has arrived, and we're going to fuck him down now!" suggested the minion-looking man beside the "boss". Indeed, the target is in a terrible situation right now, and it is a good time for them to strike!
"Shut up, idiot!" said Fa Ying, putting down the tube mirror in his hand and exclaiming angrily. He turned his head to look, looking for something on the other side of the hill. After seeing the signal of "everything is normal" from the other side, he still couldn't put his mind at ease, and continued to pick up the barrel mirror to observe Pelos's convoy.
Sure enough, it's the Pelos family!
Although their numbers were drastically reduced and they were wounded, the French and British could still see that they were well trained. Everyone in the squad has their own division of labor, and the carriage is shrouded in all directions in their field of vision, and it is not leaky.
On the low hills on either side lay an ambush of hundreds of French and British men, who had been here for two days. It is one of the most dangerous roads leading to the Holy City, and from a topography point of view, such a shallow pass is a perfect place for an ambush. Anyone would believe that if the young master of Pyros had a little brain, he would not take this path of death.
Because other good places have been occupied by others, Fa Ying only came here with the mentality of trying their luck. In fact, he didn't expect anything from his goal.
"Chief, the brothers have waited so long just for now, why don't they give the order to attack?"
"Wait!" Fa Ying waved his hand, too lazy to explain the reason to his men.
The people of Pelos chose this most dangerous path. This made France and Britain very uneasy. The dazzling metal carriage would be a conspicuous presence everywhere. Fa Ying wondered in his heart - they simply wrote on their faces:
Come and ambush me!
Not long ago, summoned by Ode, Papit, the son of Duke Pelos, announced that he would go to the Holy Capital. Hearing the news, Odin's entire underground world boiled. Bounty hunters are pulling out their weapons in an attempt to get a piece of the pie. You must know that on the "Head Bounty Leaderboard" of the black market, Papitt of Pelos has been hanging on it for five years as the number one.
Who doesn't want to get money that they can't spend in their lifetime.
I don't know who was the first to breathe heavily, and the eyes of Fa Ying's men were bloodshot, staring at the carriage, the moving mountain of gold. They found that the horses pulling the cart were dressed in thick armor, which showed its importance. If you want to say that there are no key people in the carriage, you don't believe them to be killed. They wanted to rush down and eat the damn vehicle alive.
The goal is in that wagon!
Ignoring the impatience of his subordinates, the calm French and British saw through a boreoscope that there were dents left on the walls of the carriage. That's what the bullet left behind.
A carriage that can't be shot through?! Presumably, Duke Pelos would certainly spend the most money to build the safest carriage from the most expensive and hard metal to ensure the safety of his heir. At the same time, Fa Ying noticed that unlike the ordinary team members in jeans next to him, the coachman who drove the carriage was actually wearing knight's armor.
The armor covered almost all of the coachman's skin, and judging by the shape of his muscular body, he should have been formally trained in martial arts. The hilt of the broadsword exposed from his shoulders indicates that he is a true knight.
To this day, the knights of the old days still consider fighting with guns an insult to them. This is one of the reasons why there are fewer and fewer knights. Fa Ying believed that he would make him pay a high price this time.
But as a knight, he was willing to be a coachman, which made Fa Ying a little puzzled. Since the other party's helmet covered his forehead and cheeks, he could not see the knight's face clearly. Wait, his helmet seems to have two long, curved horns.
It was a horned helmet. Speaking of Pelos's horned helm......
It seems that the mission information is correct, and the Duke's son is indeed escorted by the six-pointed star of Pelos.
Fa Ying turned to hand the tube mirror to his subordinate who had been noisy just now: "Keep my eyes open and take a closer look! See? That coachman wrapped in armor is one of the six stars of Pelos, the knight Jusis! ”
"Jusses?!I heard that he used to be a royal Knight of the Round Table. "Many of Fa Ying's men have heard of Jusis's name.
"Hexagram...... Boss, you didn't say there would be such a ruthless character in the target before......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the person next to him unceremoniously punched him on the head: "Otherwise, do you expect a kind person to ask you to hunt a rabbit and give you money that you can't spend for several lifetimes?"
Listening to the gossip of several people, Fa Ying signaled silence with both hands and continued: "You know, even the weakest royal knight can be a hundred. So how we deal with him is the key to our success, and I need a little bit of time to think about what to do. "But apart from this famous member of the six-pointed star, the other guards chosen by the Duke must also be the most prominent group of people in the family. And now, there are only a few people left in the convoy, which was selected by the duke's close friends.
Thinking of this, Fa Ying's hands couldn't help but tremble. Bullet marks on the wagon, wounded cowboys...... How many hunters had attacked the convoy in front of him before him?
Do these people who lead themselves really have the ability to eat the target?
"Chief, what are you afraid of? Although I don't know why, I heard that the man named Jusis never used a gun. No matter how good he is, our brothers can each shoot him down!" said one of the minions.
Several of his subordinates also responded. "That's right!"
That's right. In this day and age, as long as you are still flesh and blood, if you encounter a bullet, you will only have a life. Especially in recent years, even among the aristocracy, there is a popular trend of "instead of practicing swordsmanship, it is better to practice marksmanship".
"I'll shoot first later, and I'll use that as a signal. When you hear the gunshots, you can get rid of the jeans first, and then you will besiege the knight together. "The French and British gave the order. One of his subordinates immediately passed on this order, while the other sent a code to the opposite hill that only his own people could understand.
"Chief, your gun. The subordinate respectfully handed over a spear.
Fa Ying took the gun and held it up in front of him in a stance. From the gap in the crosshairs, he stared at the carriage.
He felt that there was definitely something in the carriage that would surprise him.
