Chapter 80: The Dirty Guard
"Stand in line, count your belongings, and don't bring weapons into the mine!"
A group of mine guards laughed and walked out, and these civilians looked to them like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Götze was stared at by the greedy gaze of the maned dog staring at the delicious fresh meat, trembling with fear, and subconsciously looked left and right, wanting to find the townspeople to take care of it, but at this time, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, who had the leisure to care about others.
The townsfolk formed a long line in front of the gate, their mouths shut, their heads bowed, silently under the inspection of the guards.
"What kind of mess is this?"
The guards are wearing white armor, and when they walk, they will make the sound of metal rubbing, coupled with the sound of swearing, which makes the atmosphere even more solemn.
As long as the townsfolk handed in the required amount of silver, the guards did not bother to rummage through the packages they carried, with the exceptions of course, if they were wearing newer clothes or more luggage, they would also be found out and searched again.
Naturally, this is not for the sake of safety, who dares to make trouble in the duke's dagger mine? It is purely because he does not want to live, look at the wooden shelves erected at the door ten meters high, on which more than twenty tattered corpses are hanging, which are swaying slightly with the breeze.
The unlucky guy who was found out had to hand over a few more silver coins, and if he couldn't get it, he would be beaten up immediately.
Two guards walked to the back of the line, and one of them looked at one of the townspeople and spat in his face.
The guards laughed uncontrollably, and the townsfolk lowered their heads.
"Downton?" Götze subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Downton pleadingly.
"Don't be afraid, just give him the money later, don't say anything. Downton pulled out five silver coins and shoved them into Gotze's hand.
The distance was too close, only ten meters, and the guards did this all day, their eyes were too sharp, and they stared at Downton all at once.
"What's in the backpack?" the scumbag-faced guard stabbed Götze's backpack with a leather whip.
"It's food and clothes. Götze completely forgot Downton's advice, he didn't open his mind at all, the guard asked for money, so he obediently handed over the silver coin, and this honest answer directly made the guard rude.
The stubble guard lifted his leg and kicked Götze hard, knocking him to the ground, then approached and kicked him in the stomach.
The townsfolk are not surprised, beating the freedmen who come to the mine for the first time is routine entertainment, in addition to the fact that the guards like to abuse people, but also to let the newcomers understand the rules and not do anything out of the ordinary.
Götze's screams were particularly piercing, and he held his head in his hands and curled up on the ground like a helpless green worm.
The townspeople from the same place as him looked away, they were not qualified to care, they couldn't care, and if they talked nonsense, they would get burned.
"Enough fighting, just stop!" Downton couldn't stand it anymore, he remembered the first time he came to the dagger mine when he was thirteen years old, and the guards at that time did not open the net because he was young, but beat him harder, Zuihou snatched all nineteen silver coins from him.
It was my sister Elaine who secretly stuffed it into her backpack, and if the mine food was not good, she wanted her brother to buy some food.
"Yo, look, there's an enthusiastic teenager here. The short-haired guard teased, suddenly raising his leg and kicking Downton's stomach, "Do you still have the leisure to care about others?"
Downton dodged, dodging the beating of the guards.
"Heh, it's been months since anyone dared to make trouble, and today another one is bold. Before the short-haired guards could finish speaking, the other guards had already left the townsfolk around them and gathered around, and some of them even drew their long swords.
The rules of the mine are very simple, if they see disobedient, they will immediately give violent suppression, so that they can understand who is the owner of the mine.
"Don't you have the money to help others? If you can't get ten gold coins today, don't even think about going into the mines. "The stubble guard is the captain of this ten-man guard, and as he spoke, he gave his subordinates a 'hands-on' look.
Before the words fell, the guards had already sneered and pounced on Downton, the captain's words, just to let this kid relax his vigilance, in the past, when he encountered this kind of thing, he was directly beaten up, and then took away every piece of his luggage, turned into a pig, and threw it into the mine.
"Don't rob it, his leather armor is mine. ”
"I want those boots!"
The guards are unscrupulous and have already begun to divide up Downton's stuff.
Downton was no newcomer to the rookie, he was familiar with their style, and the moment the short-haired guard pounced, he grabbed the strap and slammed his backpack out.
Bang, the short-haired guard was hit on the bridge of his nose and fell to the ground with a nosebleed.
Downton stepped back quickly to avoid being surrounded, and his backpack was rounded into a windmill circle to prevent them from approaching.
One of the guards approached Downton, and before he could make a move, he was kicked on the knee by his military boot, and he fell directly to the ground.
"Let's go up together and beat this kid to death. "Captain Hu was going mad, drew his sword, ran over, and slashed.
Downton dodged sideways and kicked the captain in the waist, causing him to stagger back.
The townspeople didn't expect that kid to dare to make a move with the mine guards, and after being stunned for a moment, they hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would be affected.
Gotze was lying on the ground, unable to get up in pain.
Downton didn't want to expose his hole cards, so he didn't use martial arts, and it was all ordinary dry fighting, but it was enough to deal with these ordinary guards who were not magicians.
"Kill him!" the short-haired guard was furious, brandishing his long sword, he really wanted to kill Downton, anyway, when he threw it into the mine afterwards, he said that he had been eaten by the cave snake, and no one had a problem.
Throwing away his backpack, Downton no longer retreated, and the main attack met him, grabbing the wrist of the short-haired guard with his right hand, clenching his left hand into a fist, and hammering fiercely towards his right armpit.
The short-haired guard howled miserably, unable to hold the sword anymore, and fell off his hand.
Another guard swung his sword and slashed at Downton's right arm, intending to depose him.
Downton grabbed the hilt of his sword with a blow, and after parrying the guard's blade, he laid the sword flat and used it as a plank in his face.
Bang, the guard's mouth full of teeth was about to be shattered, and he swirled and fell to the ground.
Downton raised his knee and slammed it, the short-haired guard took a heavy blow to the abdomen, spat out stomach acid, bent over, flew out, and crashed away from his two companions.
Captain Hu was killed, but after the two encounters, he was under the blow of Downton, holding the long sword in both hands, struggling to support, and constantly retreating.
"Go and shout!" Captain Hu let out a terrible roar, about to pee, and every time the blade of the sword slashed, he felt that he would cut off his own head.
The guards on the watchtower were giggling and waiting to see their companions clean up the boy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but after less than a dozen breaths, they found that something was wrong, and most of the guards were actually beaten and lay on the ground, so they hurriedly blew the horn.
The townsfolk were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect the kind-looking young man to be so fierce, but as the mine gate opened, a group of guards with heavy swords and longbows appeared, and they quickly knelt on the ground.
"Get down on your knees!" a middle-aged man roared, "or I'll give the order to release the arrows." ”
The guards mounted their arrows, drew their longbows, and aimed at Downton.
Downton suddenly exerted his strength, shattered Captain Beard's sword, and then stepped forward, kicking him over, and then pressing the tip of the sword against his eye socket.
"Don't kill me. "Captain Stubble begged for mercy.
"Let him go, or I'll shoot you." The squadron leader was furious, "Do you know what kind of place this is?
"It's okay to collect black money and beat people, isn't it a bit unreasonable to kill people?" Downton snorted coldly, "We are free people, not slaves. ”
"Whether you want to be a slave or not, you can't help it, let him go quickly. "The squadron leader is impatient, and as soon as there are no hostages, he will immediately give the order to shoot this guy into a sieve.
Downton knew that it was useless to say anything, these guards were lawless, they didn't care about the lives of the freedmen, and here they were the law.
Götze was frightened, looking at the murderous guards, he didn't dare to have anything to do with Downton, and completely forgot that Downton was targeted because he was talking for him, the boy who had left home for the first time, crying and climbing on the ground.
"Waste one, drag him away. The squadron leader spat at Götze and looked at Downton, "You're relenting now, it's still too late." ”
"My name is Downton, and I'm sure someone has mentioned it to you. "You can't leave the mines, and Downton doesn't want to be an outcast and a robber, so he can only be hard and fight a way to survive with his fists.
"Huh, you're from Morningfog Town?" the squadron leader's expression changed slightly, the regiment commander had instructed the captains a few days ago to let them clean up a free man named Downton, but everyone searched for a few days, but they didn't find this person.
"Yes. Downton was testing, and if he admitted it, it would mean that Liszt had set it up, but he apparently got a bad answer.
"Let's go inside!" the squadron leader waved his hand, and his men put away their longbows.
"Squadron leader, you can't let him go, the brothers have been beaten. As soon as Captain Hu shouted, he was slapped in the face by Downton with his sword and knocked unconscious.
Throwing away his nosebleed sword, Downton picked up his backpack and walked to the mine gates.
"Have the guts, I hope that in five days, you will still be so tough. The squadron leader whispered a sinister grin as Downton passed by.
The townsfolk didn't understand that Weishenme Downton was going to go in, and in the style of the guards, he would definitely be killed in the mines.
"Liszt is here to get the Ripping Dragon's Teeth, and perhaps also space equipment and soul mounts, so they're not going to kill me lately, but they're going to find all sorts of excuses against me and force me to tell my secrets about them. "Downton's brain was thinking quickly about how to break the game.
Seeing Downton ignore the sinister gaze of the guards, straighten his back, and walk past them without the slightest fear, the squadron leader frowned, this guy is a hard stubble, and this mission seems to take a little more effort.
