At this time, more than twenty guards at the gate quickly surrounded and surrounded the three carriages in the middle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The remaining guards immediately sealed the passage with barricades with wooden stakes wrapped around iron thorns, and all the passing merchants were stopped, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"What's going on?" asked the guard condescendingly as a knight with a colored feather on his helmet mounted on horseback.

"Captain," the guard said, "just look at it. ”

The knight followed the direction of the guard's finger and saw three corpses in the carriage.

"Hell!" the knight gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and pointed at Hawk, "You'd better give me an explanation." ”

"I'll explain," Penn jumped out of the carriage and handed over a piece of parchment with one hand, "and you look at this first." ”

The moment the knight saw Payne, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

At the age of about twenty, with fiery red hair and black eyes, he immediately recognized who this person was, "Are you DiCaprio?"

"Yes," Payne said with a serious face, "you know me?"

The knight withdrew his sword, jumped off his high horse, took off his helmet and said, "I don't think there is anyone in the whole of Kulstedburg who doesn't know you, sorry, but my men don't know that this is your carriage procession." ”

"Oh?" said Payne, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and his other hand slowly moved away from the musket.

"You don't have to look at the ultimatum," the knight smiled, then turned to his men behind him and shouted, "Clear!"

I didn't expect that brushing my face was better than an ultimatum these days, and Payne couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"I'm sorry for you. Payne pulled the parchment back into his waist.

"It's nothing, I hope you don't mind," the knight said, "they're just routine." ”

"Understood," Payne nodded, "can we go?"

"Anytime," the knight turned to mount his horse, and then shouted, "let the convoy pass first." ”

By this time, the barricades had been removed, and the guards had dispersed. Hawke straightened his collar and smiled at the guard, then went back to the carriage to re-cover the bed.

Seeing everyone getting into the car, Payne nodded to the knight and shouted, "Let's go!"

The knight looked at the three departing carriages, let out a long breath, turned to look at the guard, and said, "Don't trouble me again, understand?"

"Yes, Captain, there will never be a next time. The guard swallowed dryly.

Order quickly returned to order at the city gate, and most of the pedestrians didn't know what had just happened, but some people saw the whole thing through the guards.

A man in a black hooded cloak grinned, pulled the brim down, and followed the crowd out of the city.

......

"Boss, you were so handsome just now. The man in the car with Payne laughed loudly.

"That's right, I saw that the guard who got Horkla out of the carriage was terrified, his armor was shaking all the time, haha....... ”

"Captain," Morgan looked at Payne, "I saw you were about to draw your gun, aren't you really going to fight the guards?"

Morgan was really scared when he saw Payne put his hand on the musket, you know, these guards are not like demons, behind them are the city lord here, the duke, once there is a conflict, even the mercenary group can't protect their own gang.

Everyone looked at Payne at the same time, and they were all too nervous to notice what was going on in his hands.

"It's called controlling the atmosphere, you know?" Payne said with a smile and raised an eyebrow, "Even if you pull out a gun, it doesn't mean you have to fire, but if you don't do this, they will think you're a bully, and then they will get worse." ”

Everyone nodded, their expressions unclear.

Is that really all there is?" Morgan thought, but he could see the murderous intent in his eyes, and he remembered that when he fed Ahab poison, the captain had the same look in his eyes just now.

'Smack,' Payne clapped his hand on the stunned Morgan's shoulder, "Don't think too much, I'm not going to put everyone in danger." ”

The latter came back to his senses and nodded heavily.

......

Two hours later, the three wagons arrived at Nivelle Manor, north of Kulstedberg, and before they could get there, Payne smelled the rancid stench wafting through the air.

In hot weather, corpses decompose in two days, and now that several days have passed, the extent of the corpse's decomposition can only be described as disgusting.

"Payne," Roy said, "do you need to gather the bodies?"

"No, the corpses now are all poisonous, don't touch them at will, put those three corpses down. ”

The latter nodded, beckoning the crowd to drag the three bodies down.

Payne's goal is to dump the three bodies in the wilderness and leave them dead.

Of course, this is not all for the sake of sacrificing the souls of the dead, he is mostly doing it for the living, but also for himself. -- This is the best way to soothe the soul.

After the corpses were dragged out of the carriage, Payne cut off their heads, then lit three prepared cigars, jumped them with sticks, and inserted them into the ground.

Payne led the crowd to bow to the four directions, and mourned, "Dead brothers, I have avenged you, these three people are the culprits, and their souls will be scorched by the scorching sun, of course, you can also torture them at will, Amen." ”

"Gate A......" everyone said in unison.

The whole process only lasted five minutes, regardless of whether the dead soul would really be relieved or not, but there was finally an explanation. Although the ritual was rudimentary, Payne believed that the resentment of these people in front of him would soon dissipate.

"Alright, brothers, let's go to the castle and see if there's anything we can use. Payne said.

The valuables in the castle should have been looted a long time ago, Payne thought, but some large items were not easy to take, as long as they could be sold for money, he was ready to take them all. Even if it's not good, you can make them happy all night.

His words quickly received an enthusiastic response from everyone.

Coming to the castle of the manor, the previous gate is gone. The doorway had been blown beyond recognition by explosives, the falling masonry was more than five feet high, all the windows of the castle were shattered, and even the walls were cracked.

"The power of this explosive...... It's not small. Penn couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw this scene, and within a radius of ten yards at the entrance of the castle, a large crater was blown out by explosives, and within twenty yards it was razed to the ground, charred and black, and even now he could faintly smell a smell of burning.

"They brought it on themselves. Hawke said.

"If my guess is correct, they must have tried to hide in the castle, but the castle gate was locked from the inside, and in desperation they used explosives, which turned out to be much more powerful than they thought. Payne snorted, "But it doesn't matter now, brothers, try to pick the most valuable." ”

"Okay......!"
