――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
After three days and two nights of rapid marching, the mottled earth-gray walls of Chanda were close at hand.
At dusk, the sky was studded with blood-stained red glow, and the amber sun shone on the city, casting a warm halo.
Alleyne sighed at the thought of having only a few people back here with such a decent team. It's unpredictable.
Cheers can be heard from the arena in the distance, the blacksmith shops near the gates tinkling, and the bustling bazaars on the way to the taverns.
As he entered the city gates, Alleyne entrusted the little girl, Aisha, to his friend Shaw.
At first, Shoy crossed his waist and looked very unhappy.
But when Aisha grabbed the corner of Ellene's clothes and secretly revealed half of her little face, the woman quickly "kidnapped" Aisha.
When Aisha fell into her arms, Ellen saw two heart-beating hearts in the woman's eyes, and happily accepted them while rubbing Aishabeth's tender face.
Then, Xiao Yi knelt on the ground parallel to Aisha in his calves, hugged Xiao Aisha tightly, and said to Xiao Aisha in a very serious tone: "No, I have recognized this brother, it is very dangerous to be a male like him, Xiao Aisha must not contact him again!"
After walking a few steps, Alleyne, who was leaving, suddenly turned his head, and suddenly found that Aisha, who was still clingy to him just now, suddenly clutched her little hand, wrinkled her nose, and pretended to have a stern expression, full of wariness against him.
"Well, delusional? Why do I think ........ this woman is speaking ill of you?" Alleyne touched his head and looked at Xiao Yi and Aisha with a confused expression.
"Boss, who is this beautiful girl?" asked Mo Mocha, who was following him, with a lewd expression on his face. "Could it be your old look?"
Alleyne threatened with some impatience: "Go, what an old man, chewing his tongue, deducting your salary for this month." ”
As soon as he heard that the boss was going to deduct his salary, Mo Cha immediately quieted down, and that obscene and lustful horse face suddenly turned into an honest hillbilly.
After everyone drove into Zenda, Wiggins, the interim commander of this mercenary team of more than fifty people, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, now we can finally get a good rest. I've been exhausted to death for the past few days......" Before he could finish speaking, Wiggins fell to the ground, and no matter what warrior's demeanor, he fell asleep.
At this moment, the door of "Happy Boar" suddenly opened, and Suke stood in the doorway with an expression of disbelief, as if Alleyne was more terrifying than the woman from Shaw.
Alleyne frowned, "How many wine glasses do you have to wipe Sooke?Why do you always appear in front of me with a rag to wipe the table or wine glasses?"
Sook didn't care about any of this, he threw away the rag and grabbed his hand: "Oh my God, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought something was wrong with Ramon." Thank goodness it's great to see you standing here!"
Suke personally poured him a glass of wine and poured himself another glass: "I've been in need of this kind of thing so much lately, I really don't know what my life would be like without wine." ”
Manid walked over with a smile and held up the freshly filled glass on the table, "Hey, old friend, be happy, aren't we here?"
Souk then realized Manid's presence and cursed, "Damn the gods! Why did you goddamn drunkard come back to my roof? Lao Tzu is unlucky enough! You'd better get out of here at once, or I'll drown you in the barrel!"
"Hey, old friend, what's wrong with you?" Manid didn't get out, but sat down in front of Suke. "I've paid for my wine, and your wife can testify. I said, Sooke, what are you in trouble with? I'm here to help you!"
Alleyne smiled and took a sip, "So, what is the reason why Mr. Toramon, who is so anxious as Boss Suke, came to me?"
As soon as he heard this, Su Ke slowly put down his wine glass with a gloomy face and sighed: "That's the case, my sister was taken away......!
"Ten days ago, I went to Sagoth to buy goods, and I happened to meet a group of men in gray cloaks outside the city, and they were tied to dozens of peasant-like men, all the way north, saying that they were going on a pilgrimage overseas. I was a little suspicious, so I quietly followed them, and the more I looked, the more wrong it became. These people ignored everything, and the captives who were tied up by them tried to resist several times, but those guys had an ebony staff in their hands, and I watched them fall to the ground one by one, and the one who led the resistance was directly beaten to death by them. The inhuman bunks buried the bodies on the spot, and then continued on their way as if nothing happened. That's how my sister was taken away, and after all these days, I was afraid that she would end up with those people. Alleyne, I beg you to save my sister! and the ...... They are just ordinary peasants and do not deserve to be treated like this. ”
"The man in the gray cloak, you're not making up a story, are you?" said Alleyne as he looked at Suke with some suspicion, speculating about the truth of his words.
Su Ke hurriedly grabbed his hand: "I swear, if I have half a lie, the sky will thunder! I have begged many mercenaries, but they all think I am making fun of them, you must believe me!"
"Fra**** was captured?" Manid finally got serious, he had a lot of contact with the girl during the time of "Happy Boar", "Who took her? You should go to the sheriff to help you save her!"
"I'm going for the third time today!" Suke said angrily. "I don't know which king's envoy has come to the city, Lord Harrick has been transferred into the castle, and Captain Candida said that there is a shortage of manpower, and tomorrow he will send someone to help me find and save people, ******! Tomorrow? Tomorrow those people don't know where to flee!"
"You're so familiar with the mercenary group, why don't you go to the mercenary yourself?" Manid asked.
Su Ke scolded: "Hell, mercenary group! Now there is only a 'ghost hand' mercenary group in the city, and the leader of the group, 'Blackheart' Gottman, will ask for 5,000 dinars when he opens his mouth! I can't afford to sell the tavern!"
Alleyne lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Well, since you said so, for Mr. Ramon's sake, I'll help you this time." But when we come back from the war, you'll have to entertain our brothers. ”
"Wait, old friend," said Manid with a smile on his face, "then, what about the pay?"
Su Ke nodded repeatedly: "That's natural...... Do your soldiers need to rest? I see they're all out of breath, and many of them have bloodshot eyes, so they can't be sick, right?"
Alleyne raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you tell me to fight those people, why did you care about the physical condition of my soldiers again?"
Suk didn't pay any attention to his taunt and continued, "That's right, those people are walking very slowly because of the captives, and I only saw them pass through Djanda at noon today. My three days of tracking were not in vain, and those men were bound to camp and sleep at night, and at the same time some of them would be sent to serve as sentinels. They won't get up until dawn the next day, so you and your soldiers can sleep without worrying about them running away. ”
Alleyne nodded. "I see, Su Ke, don't worry, this group of people will never be able to escape if they fall into my hands. ”
At dawn, Alleyne crept up to Wiggins' side and nudged him on the shoulder.
Wiggins rolled over, his eyelids slightly rolled, and continued to snore and sleep.
I slept like a pig...... Alleyne bought a glass of wine from Sooke and poured it over Wiggins' face from top to bottom.
Wiggins snorted, turned over, and shouted, "Who?
Alleyne slammed the glass on his head. "Is that how you talk to your boss? And why do you sleep like a pig and can't wake up no matter how you scream?"
Wiggins turned his head to look at his boss and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Ahaha, it turned out to be you, the boss, scared me to death, I thought someone was attacking me." Boss, it's not dawn yet, why did you wake up so early? Do you have any tasks for me?"
Alleyne wondered how he could see him with his eyes closed. "Wiggins, I now command you, wake everyone up at once, and assemble outside the city gates in fifteen minutes! ”
Wiggins suddenly fell asleep, and the excitement of the battle was unreservedly displayed on his face. He hurriedly put on his armor and went to call people one by one.
Mo Cha followed Alleyne to Su Ke's side, and Su Ke told Mo Cha in detail about the whereabouts and distance of the Grey Cloak, and he believed that this guide would find a place for Elle.
