1083. The Dark Night of Mucuso

At night, three knights of the guard battalion on war horses walked along the long street.

The horses' hooves clamed on the stone slabs, and the crisp sound of tapping spread far and wide, as if even the noise on this side of the square could not be concealed.

Charlie turned his head to see the guards battalion knights, his eyes immediately flashed with light, and after seeing these guards battalion knights, he felt that he had found a way out of his predicament.

He couldn't wait to run towards the three guards knights, but Harry pulled him by the hair and pulled him to his side savagely.

Luke and a group of villagers try to rush to the rescue of Charley, but are stopped by a group of city guides who are constantly shouting.

The two groups almost pressed their chests together.

These local guides are better at fighting, and each of them has an outlaw air on them.

The group of craftsmen behind Luke seemed a little loud at this moment, although there were many people, but they were much weaker.

The two sides were at a stalemate on this long street, and the guide Harry had an arrogant and confident smile on his face, grabbed Charley's hair with one hand, patted his cheek vigorously with the other, and asked with a cruel smile:

"What, you're going to call the knights of the guard battalion?"

He leaned down, then raised his head very arrogantly, and raised one arm very highly, like an opera orchestra conductor, with a kind of fascination and narcissism, and said to Charlie with contempt:

"Come on, friend, I'll shout for you!"

Then he put it in Charley's ear and whispered in a very small voice:

"Do you say that these guards camp knights in the city are familiar with you hillbillies, or are they familiar with me?"

There was still a hint of hideousness on his face, but the moment he raised his head, he instantly became very humble, stood respectfully in front of the knight of the guard battalion, and said in a loud and polite voice:

"Good evening, Chapman Knight! Amos Knight! Claude Knight! ”

The three knights of the guard battalion came on horseback, and the crowd took the initiative to split a way, and when the tall horse approached Harry and Charley, the knight of the guard battalion in the center glanced around and asked calmly:

"Harry, why are you doing your job here again?"

"I don't, didn't I just recruit a group of bricklayers from Highlandsa City, and I'm about to send them to the sewer main line project!"

Harry, the guide, let go of the hand that was holding Charley's hair, wiped the sweat from his palms on the hem of Charley's shirt, and said very flatteringly.

The Chapman knight frowned, and scolded in a deep voice: "There are so many carriages, they have seriously obstructed traffic, hurry up and take them away!" ”

Harry nodded hurriedly and said that he would leave immediately, and then said to Charley and Luke arrogantly, "Come with me, everybody!" If you don't want to be beaten, you know each other......"

The second half of the sentence is low and very fierce.

The Chapman knight on the side raised his chin high, pretending not to hear, and was about to pull the reins and turn away......

Charlie straightened his clothes, he took a step forward, stopped in front of the Chapman Knight, and shouted, "Lord Chapman, please wait a minute, we are a living artisan from the city of Highlandsa, we don't know this man at all!" ”

Charley pointed at Harry, the guide, unconvinced.

Chapman Knight suddenly had a headache, he hated this kind of hillbilly who couldn't see the situation in front of him the most, he didn't know each other at all, he couldn't control the situation for so long, and he was a little disappointed, he rushed over with two knights from the guard battalion to help, but he hadn't completely bluffed these foreign craftsmen, and it was the mud that couldn't support the wall.

However, the Chapman knight can only complain from the bottom of his heart.

Harry was about to go crazy, he didn't expect that he had been bluffing and scaring for a long time, and the hillbilly on the other side didn't listen to it at all, and actually stood up in public to stop the three guard battalion knights.

Harry pounced on him from behind and slammed his fist into Charley's head.

Charley is knocked to the ground by a sudden punch, and Luke and the other villagers rush to save Charley.

The other guides saw that they had already done it, and rushed up in a swarm.

A scuffle suddenly broke out on the street at the west exit of the central square, and Chapman's face was so angry that his face was distorted, and he quickly pulled out his chest. The whistle in front of the mouth was blown fiercely.

He took out a short whip from his waist, rode on the horseback and smashed it at the crowd of scuffles, and the two companions behind him also used the whips to whip the crowd that was torn together, so many people were scuffling, no one dared to do anything to the knights of the guard battalion, they lowered their heads and resisted the whips that kept falling above their heads, and pounced on the other party's crowd.

More often than not, the whip in the hands of the Chapman knight fell on these strangers, and although he knew what kind of people these guides were, he had to eat in Mukuso anyway, and those strangers might run away in a few days, and he had no reason to offend the natives because of them.

Especially these guides who do things without any bottom line, theft, fraud, intimidation, fighting, there is almost nothing they don't do, but they have an extremely clear understanding of the punishment of the Green Empire, and they will not make too serious mistakes, and the prison of the guard camp is more like a hotel with difficult conditions......

The brawl subsided as a group of knights from the guard battalion who were patrolling nearby arrived one after another.

Everyone at the scene was suppressed by the horsewhips of the knights of the guard battalion and squatted on the ground.

"Arrest them all...... Take it all away! ”

Although the Chapman knight had a headache, and so many people were involved in this fight, he still commanded his subordinates beside him.

At this time, Harry got up from the ground, wiped a handful of nosebleeds from his lips, and said again with a hippie smile:

"Knight Chapman, we can reconcile privately, so we don't bother you to prepare so many rooms, in fact, they were recruited by me, as long as they ......"

Generally speaking, if the scene is so big, and it is so troublesome that they will go to prison, these craftsmen who are helpless in Mukuso City must choose to give in, if they really live in prison, these four-wheeled carriages are not in charge, if they really starve to death a few horses, it is far better to spend a little money to settle the matter.

A Guboren horse is now worth at least 20 gold on the market.

Before the guide Harry could finish speaking, Charley, who was beaten by Harry and had a blue nose and swollen face, and who spoke a little uncomfortably, actually raised his head stubbornly, stretched his neck and shouted:

"Knight, I don't agree to reconcile, we ...... with him"

The Chapman knight was eager to stick a carrot in Charley's mouth and shut up the stubborn hillbilly immediately.

"If there is a dispute, go to the guard camp to solve it! Take all ...... away"

The Chapman knight's voice was a little hoarse.

He sat on his horse and glared at Harry angrily, his eyes full of 'this is not a one-meal solution'.

Harry immediately straightened up, let the money bag hanging on his waist be exposed, and patted it cryptically.

Knight Chapman's face was a little pale, and he commanded several knights under his command to escort all these out-of-town migrant workers back to the prison of the guard camp.

As for the group of guides who also participated in the fight, they stood under the street trees on the side of the street at this time, and actually giggled as spectators.

Seeing that things had deteriorated to this point, Luke tried to tell the knights of the guard battalion several times that he knew Lord Surdak, the commander of the garrison of Mukuso, but he was whipped by the knights of the guard battalion......

This left Luke without finding a chance to speak.

……

Three hundred of the bricklayers of the village of Wall, who had been beaten badly, were escorted overnight into the prison under the guard camp, and all twenty carriages were driven back to the guard camp by the knights, each with two Gubolai horses, and when they arrived at the guard barracks, only one of the twenty wagons was left.

Charlie and Luke are shoved by the Guards Battalion Knights and into the barred prison.

The prison was dark and damp, the walls of the corridors were covered with torture instruments, and several Wallvillage craftsmen were scared to pee their pants on the spot.

The bald uncle Santo carried his wet pants, crawled to Charley's side, and said to Charlie with a sad face:

"Charlie, didn't you say that Duck helped us find a job? How could this still happen? ”

The villagers who were leaning against the stone wall next to them also said in frustration:

"I didn't expect that the first night we came to the dry cloth plane, we would sleep in the cell of the guard barracks."

"If this were in Highlandza, no one would dare do this to us." Other villagers also complained.

Charlie sat against the wall, as the other villagers did, examining the abrasions on his body, and said with some depression:

"Maybe I got the time of arrival in Mukuso wrong, I didn't expect the journey to be so smooth, half a day earlier than expected!"

"I was too careless, we should have driven the carriage a little further when we came out of the portal......" Luke said as he leaned against the wall, a little remorseful.

"What do we do now?" One villager couldn't help but ask.

Charley and Luke glanced at each other and comforted the villagers, "Don't worry. Duck is the commander of the garrison here, so let's go out first. ”

"When they offer us terms tomorrow, we'll promise to come down first, and we'll clean them up when we find Dark!"

Luke muttered to Charlie.

……

In recent days, Surdak's schedule has been very full every day, with a regular meeting at the city hall in the morning, and now the progress of the works in various parts of the city has been delayed again and again. The money spent in Huton's hand has not decreased.

After breakfast, Surdak asked Thea, who was eating fried fish with her head bowed at the table:

"Thea, what's the arrangement for today?"

Thea raised her head and pulled her first-class loose wavy curls behind her ears, she flipped through the notebook in her hand, and said at once:

"In the morning, there will be an auction of the fifteen to twenty houses on the central street, and you said that you would go to see it after the regular meeting, and you will also summon the mayors of seven small towns in the southwest region, and in the afternoon you will inspect the progress of the renovation of the northern city wall, and you will also go to the free market to investigate the prices in the city, oh, by the way, I heard you say a few days ago that people from the village of Vol will come to Mukuso today, let me remind you......"

Surdak patted his forehead, and if Thea hadn't reminded herself that Charlie and Luke would be arriving in Mukuso today, she would have almost forgotten about it.

He instructed Samira, the half-elf archer, who was also eating fish with his head stuffy:

"Samira, you know Charlie and Luke, and after breakfast, you go to the central square to fetch them back."

"If they haven't arrived, let the guards at the teleportation gate keep an eye on them, and bring them here when they arrive."

"The yard next door is big enough and there are plenty of houses, so I'll settle them there first, and before I leave Mukuso, I'm going to get their work in order, and let Charley and Luke help me keep an eye on the work here."

Samira did not raise her head and agreed: "Oh! Got it. ”
