Chapter 406: The Rescue Trio (Part I)
Near Stratholme, Tirio Furding was anxiously clutching the bark of a tree, trying to think of a plan to rescue the old orc Itrig, however, to his great dismay, he had no clue now, not even the basics of where and how to carry out the execution, let alone how the execution site would be defended.
Rustling
"Who!" Furding turned nervously, and Richard had appeared behind him.
"You're here. Richard said with a smile.
Furding leaned against the tree and looked at Richard a little nervously, "Why are you here?"
"After the trial, I think you've tried to save your orc friends, and your current identity will be guarded, this is the only forest near Stratholme where you can hide, and if you come, you will definitely be here. ”
"So what are you here for? Get me?"
Richard shook his head, slowly walked to Fordin's side and whispered: "I just want to tell you, don't try to save your orc friend, today at noon, he will be escorted to the central square of the city, when there will be a team of paladins and more than a hundred city defense soldiers to guard the execution ground, you alone, there is no hope." ”
With that, Richard threw a strip of cloth into Fordin's jacket pocket, then patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Ferding unfolds the strip of cloth, a map showing all the trails of Stratholme.
"What are you doing here?"
Richard paused: "It's just the beauty of adults, as I said in the trial court that I think you are not guilty." ”
Furding pondered, his hands clenched tighter and tighter, and finally relaxed: "Lord Richard, I have a request. ”
"Please. ”
"I need your help. ”
Richard looked at him suspiciously, and Fording explained, "I'm going to save my friend, and as you said, I can't do it alone, so I'm going to hire your warriors." ”
"Yes. Richard turned to face Ferdin, "There are different prices for fighters of different ranks. ”
Fording was a little strange that Richard agreed so quickly, and Richard smiled: "I'm a businessman, as long as you can get the price, everything is negotiable." ”
Ferding thought again, now Ferding can be said to have nothing, and he himself doesn't know what else to pay.
"I don't know what price I can come up with, I have nothing right now. ”
"You're so honest. Richard smiled, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I want you to do something for me." ”
Furding suddenly became nervous: "Yes...... What is it?"
"Rest assured, you won't be allowed to do anything that goes against your beliefs. And not now, you're doing it for me when I need it in the future. ”
Fordin's eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Richard, but Richard really didn't just make a request to help him, although he really didn't think about it......
The execution was about to begin, and on the path near the central square, three men with masks and black cloaks were running on the cobblestone road, and there was no one to be seen along the way, and all of them went to see the execution. The three of them found a dark place to hide, kept out of sight, and quietly waited for the orcs to be brought over.
Fording looked around, the people around him kept shouting and laughing, and it looked like they weren't too late and should be able to catch up with the orcs. Relieved, Furding glanced at the third black cloak, due to the urgency of the situation, Richard's designated tactics were very simple and rude, he, Richard and this elf who claimed to be his escort directly robbed the law field, the female elf looked thin and small and really didn't look like a warrior, but Ferding didn't question it too much, Richard personally accompanied him to rob the law field, and Furding felt that he couldn't ask for more.
"Fording, look over there. ”
Fording followed Richard's finger and saw a scaffolding on the other side, next to the road on the other side.
"What do you want to do?" said Ferdin, looking at Richard.
"We'll dive to the scaffolding, we'll climb to the top, and when they'll take it, we'll jump off it, and we'll take it, and we'll break the scaffolding, and we'll block the path, and we'll run from the path. ”
"But how do we get there? we'll be discovered!"
Richard smiled and gestured to the third cloak, "Valera will help us." ”
The self-proclaimed Richard escort was Valeera, Valeera nodded towards Ferdin, and the two followed Valilla quietly towards the scaffolding, Valeera's stealth skills have now reached the height of stealth in a small area, and now the paladin has not yet arrived, and these ordinary soldiers alone have no way to detect them. It went well, and the three of them ran to the scaffolding.
Standing on a high place, the square can be seen more clearly, and a rough estimate shows that there are more than fifty heavily armed soldiers around the square, who are vigilant against these citizens while maintaining order, and they will not hesitate to look at and kill them if there is any sign of riot.
After a while, the crowd became agitated, and a paladin boarded the gallows, this paladin was very familiar to everyone, this was Bathras, the young paladin waved to everyone, and shouted loudly to the crowd, but because it was too high, Richard and they could not hear what Bathras said, Fording was happy about this, he did not have to feel remorse and pain again, Bathras's words must be full of malice and hatred. It's just that to Ferdin's displeasure, this Basshras is about to become the new lord of Hearthvale, which is really unsettling.
Immediately after, four paladins stood in the four corners, eight paladins stood around the gallows, and Fordin breathed a sigh of relief, Richard Richard intelligence was not wrong, and the high lord Da Sohan did not appear at the scene. Buthras didn't know what to say on the gallows, and the crowd gradually regained its calm. After a few minutes, a group of soldiers slowly approached, and the crowd grew larger and more crowded, and even women and children wanted to see what the green-skinned monster looked like. The armor and weapons of the escort soldiers were very fine, and they glistened in the midday sun, and in stark contrast to them, the old orcs in the prisoner car, curled up and languishing, were there still stones thrown in.
That's exactly it.
The team came to a halt directly under the scaffolding, and two men violently dragged the old orc out, and with great force they knocked him down, and the soldier kicked him twice, one of them dragging him to the gallows by one of his arms.
"Fording, it's now!
