Chapter 5 Robbery
The conductor in the cab also felt the vibration of the car, and at the same time heard a loud noise from the first car behind him, he immediately called the guards on the train, "Captain Cam......m! Forehead ......"
"Roger, I've taken action. Cam and the other stood behind the conductor with a smile and struck the train driver unconscious with a knife, "Leave it to me!"
In front of the train is a railway fork that goes to River City on the left and north on the right. Just after the train driver was knocked unconscious, Captain Cam took over and changed direction and traveled north. At this time, the three Bell had rushed to the carriage that made a loud noise, and found that there were four people in the carriage, one of whom was very eye-catching, because he had an extraordinary beard, and from a distance he looked like a hedgehog hanging upside down on the lower half of his face, and his body shape was like a balloon ready to go, and he felt that he could soar into the sky with a slight jump. Of course, Mr. Balloon's real eye-catching move is that he immediately throws a wooden stick at the three Bells.
"Are you a fired train mechanic?" said Fred, dodging the stick and looking at the big hole in the roof of the carriage.
"Get out of the way!" said the bearded man, glancing at Fred, fiercely.
"Uncle, if you have something to say, the young boss of the train company happens to be there, don't make such a big noise!" Bell touched the roof iron sheet on the floor with great pity, and secretly put one of the golden soup spoons scattered on the ground in his pocket.
"Hehe, then you can go and pass a word to that young master, find the gem called Crimson Star and give it to me!"
"What's the Crimson Star?" said Garay, looking dazed.
"I don't know, those who don't know, don't talk nonsense! Be careful of Lao Tzu blowing your heads!" The bearded man pointed at the three of them with a mace and said, "You three, if you want to die, get away, have you heard of the Cassidy Thieves Regiment? Lao Tzu is the leader of the Casties!" As soon as the words fell, another person ran from the cab in front of him and said to Cassidy, "Boss, Cam has taken over and turned to our preset track!"
"Okay! Then we'll go down the carriage, hmph, do you think we'll be fine if we hide behind?" Cassidy pointed to one of them, and it was only then that Bell realized that the man was a boy who had been held hostage, his eyes glazed over, apparently frightened. "Little melon, come with me to get the gems!" Cassidy patted the boy on the face and swaggered towards the rear compartment.
"It's the Cassidian bandits, the bandits that specialize in attacking the trains!" Fred said after a moment's thought, "but they disappeared a long time ago, so why did they come out again?"
"Oh, do you know them, and what is that Crimson Star?" said Garay.
"Trump has said before that there is indeed a carriage that has been wrapped down to carry a valuable, presumably the Crimson Star. At first, everyone thought it was in the first class, but they didn't expect it to be quite clever to mix in the back!" Fred put away his repeater.
"Train...... Bell looked out the window and said helplessly: "The cab has been taken over by their people, and it seems that the escort team has become an internal ghost." Hey, I was secretly glad that I chose a labor-saving way, but I didn't expect to kill such a character halfway!"
"What a headache! I don't know what the strength of the person transporting the gems is, if he doesn't defeat Cassidy, he'll be in trouble!" Fred worried.
"You say, could this be a test arranged by the Academy?" said Garre, thoughtfully.
"Can this also be arranged?" Bell looked up at the clear sky, then picked up a famous painting that had fallen to the ground and was already damaged, and said, "The price is too great!"
"Where did a group of fierce ...... come out," Trump, Amu and others also rushed over, but they were obviously stunned by the embarrassing scene in front of them, "This ...... What's going on?"
"A gang of thieves who fell from the sky, this train has been robbed. Fred shrugged.
"Thieves?"
"Yes, it's also controlled by their men now!" Bell pointed to the cab.
"What about the Guards?" presumably because the assets of the family business have suffered, especially in front of everyone, and Trump must have a response from the less in charge. So he immediately grabbed his weapon and ran to the cab in a rage. Although Trump's strength in the academy is not top, he is also a leader after all, and his combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed.
"Leave it to him over there in the cab, this guy's hair is on fire!" Fred said, smacking his lips as he looked at Trump's back.
"Of course, if it's my train, I'll have to pull out Cassidy's beard!" Bell said, shaking his fist.
"You have it first!" Gary glanced at Bell, "The escort team can't be relied on now, let's go and see the situation over there!"
"Can't you think about it!" Bell muttered, and ran with the others to the back carriage.
The carriages passing along the way were in shambles, littered with scattered luggage, mixed with the low sobs of the women and the indignation of the men, but none of them dared to really step forward to stop it. According to the traveler's description, at first a man as strong as an ox stepped forward, only to be grabbed and thrown out by Castilly like a chicken, so that no one dared to stand up and resist.
As they approached the last carriage, Bell and the others saw that Cassidy's men were already blocked in the passageway, and everyone stopped in unison, because after passing through these carriages, it was enough for them to feel that they had met real robbers......
Back in the last carriage a few minutes ago, a middle-aged man with glasses and messy hair was holding a box and looking out the window, looking like he was thinking about something, and on another table, three guards with swords, fists and staffs, and identical badges on their arms, apparently a knight on a mission.
"Raj," the gauntlet-clad knight drank and seemed slightly drunk, "this time the client is so low-key, it's really calm along the way!"
"We have earned money this time, although we don't know the identity of the client, but with such a generous commission, I really hope to serve the client well, and there will be opportunities to make money in the future!"
"You two, don't take it lightly! That client obviously has his own power, but this time we hired unrelated ones to protect Dr. Dogg......" Raj looked at the middle-aged man and continued, "It means that if something happens, we don't want to get involved with ourselves, so let's be careful." After saying that, the middle-aged man, who was Dr. Dogg in Raj's mouth, trembled visibly, and the other two looked at each other and fell silent.
Suddenly, there was a "boom", and the train shook violently, and Dr. Dogg nearly fell to the ground, and the box in his hand also fell.
"Don't go out, protect the doctor!" The sudden unknown situation made the knight wearing the gloves want to rush out to find out, but was stopped by Raj with a shout, "Don't care about the situation outside, remember the first task!"
After a while, the cacophony of other carriages and the screams of passengers began to sound, and Raj clenched his sword as if he were facing a great enemy, but his heart was very calm, and for knights, accidents during missions were commonplace. He immediately ordered the other two to protect Dr. Dogg while he stayed on the side of the carriage passage.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the door of the carriage was kicked open by Cassidy, "Where are you hiding! When you meet me, Castilly should immediately surrender and obediently offer the crimson star with both hands!"
"Don't think!" Dr. Dogg cried out excitedly, hugging the box containing the Crimson Star.
The two knights on the side reacted very quickly and immediately surrounded the doctor, "Where is the thief, meet our Wolf Tooth Knights, get out of the car yourself!"
"You actually call Lao Tzu a thief? When the Cassidian thieves call for wind and rain, you are still playing with mud!" Cassidy narrowed his eyes and said, "What kind of dogtooth knights, I have never heard of it!"
"Whoosh", with the sound of breaking the sky, Raj didn't say a word, drew his sword and stabbed it. Seeing that the opponent was the first to attack, Cassidy did not dodge, but looked at Raj with his hands crossed, and did not make any move.
Hearing only a "poof", Raj stopped in mid-air with his sword, his eyes wide and looked back incredulously, "Carlo!
"Surprised?" Carlo smiled sinisterly, and suddenly withdrew his bloody fist gloves, "I only joined your team after the Boss disbanded the thieves a long time ago; as for Ari, ......" With that, Carlo's fist pointed at Ari, who was holding the staff, and slowly, the fist turned into a palm and landed gently on his shoulder.
"Eri, even you ......" Raj looked at the two in disbelief, his heart swelling with anger.
"Raj, look at the tasks you usually accept, follow your side, sooner or later you will starve to death!" Ari looked at Raj, who had grown up together, but his eyes were very flat.
"Dog, take the Crimson Star!" Ratje made the right decision in an instant after being betrayed by his companion and seriously wounded, and he no longer thought about the reason for the betrayal of the two, but endured the severe pain, and threw himself at Dogg with all his might, trying to escape by jumping out of the car, but at a much slower speed.
There were two more "poof" and "poof" sounds, and a person next to Cassidy quickly threw out two throwing knives, and Raj finally mixed with unwillingness, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.
"Boss, where have you been all these years? When I got this instruction, I couldn't even believe that you were back! Now I can see with my own eyes that the blood of the past is flowing back into my body!" Carlo wiped his bloody gloves, looking very excited.
Cassidy didn't say anything, just patted Carlo on the shoulder, and then turned his gaze to Ari to the side.
"So you're Cassidy, and you live up to your name!" said Ari with a salute to Cassidy.
"Well......" Cassidy looked at Ari and suddenly laughed, "You've done a good job, you'll be rewarded for doing this well!" The bandits chatted casually, not paying any attention to Dr. Dogg on the side, as if he were a lamb to the slaughter, and sooner or later he would turn into mutton and fall into the mouths of these beasts.
"You! if you dare to come near me, I'll destroy it!" Seeing so many changes happening, Dr. Dogg's mind went blank, and he subconsciously raised the gem box and said loudly, "I installed a mechanism in the box, as long as it ...... As soon as I press it, the mechanism inside will turn the scarlet ...... Crimson Star crushes! You ...... None of you can think of it!"
"Daddy!" the boy was thrown in from outside the car door and fell to the ground.
"Hugh!" Dogge's raised hands suddenly stopped, he didn't expect these bandits to be so powerful, even his own children were found and fell into their hands. The already chaotic thoughts in Dog's mind were like intertwined strings, which were forcibly torn apart by external forces in an instant. He had no choice but to put down the box slowly, his eyes were red, and he trembled and shouted in a low voice, "You guys...... You've kidnapped a child!"
With a "snap", Cassidy kicked the boy so hard that he curled up in pain, and opened his mouth twice, but he didn't make a sound. "Don't educate Lao Tzu, what is it to kidnap children? Back then, Lao Tzu could scare you out of with a random story!" After that, Cassidy lifted the boy, "Hehe, little melon, let you try to destroy the Crimson Star?"
"Ahh!!h
"Don't be afraid! I'm here!" Dr. Dogg cried, his helpless body trembling and the contradiction in his heart like two brute bulls fighting fiercely. If you hand over Crimson Star, that's ......
"Don't hurt him!please!I'll give you the gem!" Eventually, the boy's helpless look made Dogg relent. Just as he handed the jewel to Cassidy, there was a loud bang, and a large hole was smashed in the roof of the carriage, and a rope made of smoke quickly stretched down, lifting the boy and the doctor up, and at the same time, Bell, Fred, and Garley fell from the sky and blasted the thieves away.
"My Qiqi is amazing, no matter how hard the steel is, it can be bitten open quickly!" Amu stood on the roof of the car, proudly introducing his squirrel Qiqi, the monster sharp-toothed squirrel was also on the side, but the original small cute thing had disappeared, replaced by a fierce beast with sharp fangs and fierce eyes.
"Dona's magic rope isn't bad, oh! I'm able to lift the weight of two people quickly!" Sophia poked her head out in admiration.
It turned out that Bell and the others concluded that Cassidy's gang were real thieves, and they could not contact the railway guards at present, so the train that had deviated from the track would stop at some point, and if they did not recapture the train control room, they would definitely make it impossible for everyone to arrive in time to Baicao Forest. So the two groups decided to work together to defeat the thieves and get the train back to its original direction at the next fork.
Now that Trump has rushed to the cab, Fred has Tucker and Zell in the same group to help, and Alice, the only healer in the two groups, to stay in the car to respond, and the other six will face off against the Cassidy Thieves.
However, at this time, Bell was a little unhappy in his heart: Fred has selfish intentions and excludes all his team members, but we are all fighting against the thieves. So Bell looked up and said, "Amu, Sophia, Dona, you escort these two to Alice's side, and we will deal with it first!"
Fred scolded in his heart, but he dragged Bell and Garay down, thinking of this, he immediately smiled again: "Uncle, we learned that trick just now!"
"It's the three of you again!" Seeing that the chips in his hand were gone, Cassidy's face was still calm, "Cut them for me!"
"Slashing, you don't have me!" Garley drew his broad-bladed sword, and the swaggering would-be knight disappeared in his place, replaced by a swordsman on standby.
Orders were given on both sides, and the first battle of the Knight's Way was on the verge of breaking out in cramped carriages.
