Chapter 7: Rescue Plan

In the afternoon of the same day, in order to prevent the horses from getting tired, the ten guards walked dozens of miles on the Virginia Plain, and finally came to the gate of the city of Riwa Cheze with great effort, looking at this majestic giant city from afar, from time to time there were patrols in and out, and the high city walls blocked all vision, he wanted to go into the city to find a quiet place to rest for a while, and when he was about to enter the city, he happened to hear several guards at the gate of the city seem to be talking about something, so he planned to go over and inquire......

One of the guards kept wiping the moonblade axe in his hand, and said to another colleague, "Brother, do you think the people of Mariga will also take our jobs...... A lot of guys have been dismissed these days......"

"That guy abused his position to disband the defenders as soon as he took office, replacing the city defense troops with his henchmen, and it's no wonder that the old sergeant major Polis Raoui would leave with his men before he was humiliated...... another guard complained.

"Excuse me...... Is there anything going on in the city?" the Ten Guards cleverly interjected, and successfully began to talk to the two guards.

"Our lord Dalevine died at the castle a week ago, and since the Rivacha is vital to us in Vigia, the king quickly sent a successor, now Lord Mariga......" The guard asked with some simple information, and the Ten Guards asked.

"I've heard about the dismissal of the garrison sergeants, but why?"

The guards looked around to make sure that there were no eavesdroppers, and then whispered to the Ten Guards: "Lord Dalevine has an heir, he is the commander of the defenders in the city and the security team of the town outside the city, Delacro, although he is in his twenties, he is a young and promising noble knight, but unfortunately his whereabouts are unknown now...... Because the soldiers had lost his protection, Mariga replaced all the town defenders with his henchmen. I think it won't be long before both of us lose our janitorial jobs......"

"In other words, the city should have belonged to Delacro, and the intention of dismissing the previous defenders was to completely take the ruling power into their own hands...... It seems that this lord is still a politician. It seemed that the Ten Guards didn't have much of a crush on Mariga, but the guards explained.

"In fact, Delacro has no interest in this title and seems to have greater ambitions...... By the way, the gentleman is going into the city, right?"

Sensing that the conversation was nearing its end, the Ten Guards responded, "Oh...... Yes, I'm here to buy some souvenirs, but my horses are running out of energy and I need to buy a few from the horse dealer......"

The guard was surprised when he heard this, and reminded, "Sir...... The horse market is not quiet today, because a horse thief has been caught...... And the hanged ...... will be carried out at dusk"

"I see, thanks for reminding me, I'll pay attention!" the Ten Guards nodded, and the guards returned to their posts, and let the Ten Guards enter the castle of Riwacheze......

After entering the city, he first inquired about the situation of the horse thief who was about to be hanged, and learned that the horse thief who was about to be hanged was the target of his tracking......

"If he dies, my mission will be a failure, because I don't know where he will hide the horses......" Ten Guards felt helpless, so they planned to rob the execution ground first to save Mo Cha so that they could learn the whereabouts of the horses......

After walking around the city, studying the main routes of the robbery site and the route of retreat, the Ten Guards arrived at a hotel in Zhiwacheze.

A window on the second floor of the hotel overlooks the entire execution site. The execution site was located in front of the Church of Zhiwacheze, intended to cleanse sinners of their sins, close to the city wall, with patrol posts on the city walls that could see all the movements, and the surrounding buildings were very densely built, and there were many houses nailed with axes and shields, most likely a stronghold for soldiers. If you rush directly into the execution ground and approach the gallows, you will immediately alarm the defenders in the nearby barracks and the guards on the city walls at the same time, and there will be no way back. However, if you jump from the window to the nearby roof and make a surprise attack, you can bypass most of the crowd and go straight to the execution ground, but considering that there is still a commission to investigate where Delacro is, you can't fight the defenders in the town, and once you save Mo Cha, you must quickly escape from the city walls......

About an hour later, as the evening sun set over the Sunwager, Jubei had decided to disguise himself and set off through the window and sneak through the roof into the execution ground, where he had asked the mercenary members of the tavern for a crossbow that was about to be discarded due to obsolescence, and a few crossbows and a set of tattered clothes from one of the hunters in the tavern, and the hanging was almost begun, and the streets were already full of people watching the hanging.

A few minutes later, a haggard man dressed in cloth was escorted by the guards to the gallows, although the hair that covered his neck made the man look very sloppy, but he used the Kugit method to tie his long hair into several small braids, which looked very different, and although he had a thick beard on his face, it was very white, so that the whole person looked very vicissitudes. After taking a closer look, Shibei intuitively knew that this person was a horse thief, and felt that it was time to make a move......

He put on a set of torn robes, put a hood on his head, in order not to let the flying needle reveal his identity, deliberately only used the crossbow, he jumped out of the window and landed on the roof of the shop not far away, lowered his body to avoid the view of the patrol post on the city wall, followed the escort troops closely, when the escort team reached the gallows, after the execution officer ordered, the guards tied the noose around Mo Cha's neck, and the hanging was ready......

At this point, the Ten Guards entered the execution ground without being detected by the sentries at the execution ground, sneaked against the wall to the only vantage point, and finally jumped high to avoid the search of the patrols on the city wall and hid in the bell tower of the church, aiming the crossbow at the window to the gallows......

"Execution!"

At the order of the executioner, the executioner was about to pull down the raised floor switch so that Mo Tea would fall freely and be hanged, but just before the executioner was about to reach out and pull the switch, a crossbow arrow was shot at his feet......

"Damn, I didn't shoot!!"

He scolded, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, this old crossbow was completely scattered, and in desperation, the ten guards had to ring the bell, jumped over the window and jumped off the bell tower and fell on the roof of the house, but accidentally stepped through the bricks and fell into the house, and after getting up in the mess, he ripped off his robe, pushed open a door not far away and rushed directly to the gallows......

"The bell has been runged, and the execution ground has been robbed!" shouted the executioner.

With the shouts of the executioner, the nearby onlookers all seemed to see the murderer, and a large number of neatly formed Virginian infantry teams rushed out of the barracks in an instant, dispelling the fear of the citizens and began to search for the outlaw in the crowd.

"Bastard, you actually want to sneak up on Lao Tzu! Let's go together! Kill him!" Somehow, the executioner, who should have been very stupid, recognized the person who attacked him, and with his roar, the defenders surrounded the ten guards, and the executioner himself reached out and picked up the moonblade axe on the side and continued to slash at Mo Cha, intending to die......

At this point, there was no way to hide his strength anymore, in order to escape from here, he took out a flying needle, looked around at the strong enemies around him, and couldn't think of a suitable countermeasure for a while, so he could only take the initiative to attack.

Several flying needles scattered towards the enemy in front of him, but the flying needles could not penetrate the thick scale armor, and the soldiers continued to approach, and he had to give up on rescuing Mo Cha for the time being.

On the gallows, the moment before the executioner's moonblade axe cut Mo Cha's throat, the rope suddenly broke, and Mo Cha fell to the ground and escaped. Next, the shrewd Mo Cha tripped the executioner, shook off the noose around his neck and ran quickly towards the city wall.

At this time, the archers on the city wall instantly locked on Mo Cha, and then several arrows were fired, Mo Cha was slowly suppressed, and at this time, the executioner was rushing towards him from behind.

"Needle Flow! Poisonous Bee!"

Three flying needles shot by the Ten Guards from a distance of one or twenty meters hit the executioner's throat, but they failed to kill with a single blow. Mo Cha ignored this, and just picked up the moonblade axe in his hand and rushed towards the archers on the city wall......

Although he rescued Mo Cha, the Ten Guards had been completely squeezed into the corner of the city wall, and the soldiers guarding it all rushed into a charge, he took advantage of the angle of the city wall to jump onto the roof, and took advantage of the terrain to jump again to launch an attack.

"Meet my Needle Technique!Poison Moth!" came like a rain of arrows, the soldiers were all wearing scale vests, and their bodies were very well defended, but their arms and thighs were relatively weak, and a round of flying caused great damage to the soldiers and suppressed them. Before falling to the ground, he concentrated his strength in his right hand, and his palm instantly concentrated a beam of light, as if there was a continuation move.

"Scorpion!" he spun in the air and landed on the ground, slamming his flashing right palm into the ground, shooting flying needles from the ground in a straight line in front of him.

No matter how strong the armor on the guards was, the leggings on the soles of their feet were leather-bottomed, and they all fell to the ground and groaned after the soles of their feet were pierced by flying needles. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the ten guards broke out of the siege, and at the same time used the flying needle to kill the guards who stood in the way, and broke through a bloody path to the city wall......
