Chapter 327: The Second Most Wanted Prisoner of the Empire

"That's what this guy is, don't take it personally. Murphy glanced back at Rogge's departing back and gently patted Catherine on the shoulder and comforted.

"It's nothing, he's right, it's my own personal vendetta, I have the power to take revenge now, it's up to me to do it myself!" Catherine said to Murphy as she helped the boy to her feet, her expression resolute.

"That's not your business alone, I'll go with you. Murphy said to her firmly.

Catherine nodded gratefully, and with Murphy and Monica, she led the boy out of the alley, where they found the largest inn in town, rented two horses, and took the boy to chase his brother who had been taken away.

The two horses galloped along the road west of the town of Willis, the trees and fields on both sides of the road rapidly retreating backwards in the sun, and after more than an hour of riding, they saw the convoy in the distance.

A large wooden cart drawn by ten tall horses slowly moved along the island, accompanied by dozens of heavily armed soldiers, and the boy told them that his brother and other orphans who had been sold were in the car, and that he had seen them being escorted from the back street.

"I'm going to get their attention, and you're going to save people!" Murphy turned back to Catherine who was walking forward, and Catherine held the reins in one hand and the silver gun in the other, and nodded slightly and told Murphy, "They are all holding firearms, be careful!"

"Don't worry, the hydra lair has survived, and a few soldiers won't kill me!" Murphy pulled out the lightning sword and accelerated his horse, but Catherine reduced her speed, put away the silver gun and took down the super fire gun, let the boy hug his waist, raise his gun and get ready, and watched Murphy approach the carriage.

The soldiers behind the carriage heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a man in white clothes galloping with a sword in one hand, and before they could react to what was going on, Murphy raised his sword and swung a series of dazzling electric currents, and several soldiers and horses fell to the ground with convulsions.

The soldiers hurriedly removed the muskets from their backs and shot at Murphy, but the bullets hit him to no avail, and Murphy punched one of the soldiers in the chest, and the soldier fell from his back with a scream.

Another soldier raised his gun from the other side to aim at Murphy, suddenly heard a gunshot behind him, the soldier screamed and fell off the horse, the rest of the soldiers hurriedly looked back, Murphy's lightning sword arrived early, and the flying lightning knocked a soldier and his horse to the ground, and the overturned horse knocked down another horse next to him, and for a while the person turned on his back.

Murphy jumped and knocked a soldier off his horse, jumped on his horse and swung his sword into the soldiers, the soldiers hurriedly threw away the fire in their hands, drew their swords and fought him hand-to-hand, Catherine, who was following behind, took the opportunity to raise her gun and aimed at the driver in front of her from the side, with a loud bang, the driver screamed and rolled over, and the carriage that lost control immediately rushed into the wilderness by the roadside.

"Monica, stop the car!" Catherine, who was following behind, said loudly to the little flower spirit on her shoulder, Monica agreed, stretched out her little hand and chanted a spell, and the bright green grass everywhere in the wilderness rolled around the speeding wheels.

Soon, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and the hooves of the galloping horses were caught in the grass and had to stop, Catherine rushed to the side of the carriage, broke the lock on the door with one shot, and opened the door to see a group of trembling young men crowded inside the carriage watching her.

"Come out and come with me!" Catherine beckoned to them, and the boy behind her shouted into the car, "Brother!"

The boy's elder brother heard his brother's voice and hurried out of the car, and the brothers hugged each other and wept, and the other young men got out of the car, when several soldiers noticed the situation and turned their horses and rushed towards them.

"Stay here and don't move!" said Catherine, turning and drawing another silver gun from her waist, she turned her spear and turned it towards the rushing soldiers, the muzzles of which burst into flames, killing all the horses they sat down on.

The slain horses suddenly overturned during the rapid run, and many soldiers were thrown from their horses, and the dead horses fell heavily on them, and they immediately bled to death from their mouths and noses.

The soldiers, who had not been crushed by the horses, got up from the ground, and before they could raise their guns and aim them at Catherine, the girls had already broken their heads with silver guns in both hands, and the rest of the soldiers were so frightened that they turned and fled in the direction of the town.

Catherine hesitated for a moment not to kill them, then turned back to the rescued youths and asked if they were all here, and the youths told her that the men that Baron Hood had bought from the orphanage were here, but that some of the girls were not with them.

"Those girls must have been left alone by Hood!" Catherine said through gritted teeth.

"I've heard that the underground brothels in Willis are Hood's property, and the women in them are all bought and toyed with by him, and then sent to the brothels to help him make black money!" said the boy's brother indignantly to Catherine.

"There are also a few nearby mines," said another young man, "all the miners are homeless and bought orphans from the towns by Hood, and many of my friends in the orphanage have been taken there, and their lives are still unknown, if I can hope to save them!"

Catherine nodded silently, and then there was a sound of horses' hooves, and she looked back to see Murphy reining in his horse not far away, jumping off his horse and coming to the front and asking, "How is it, has the person you are looking for been found?"

Catherine told him about the conversation she had with a few young people just now, and Murphy frowned when she learned about it and said, "I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky, with just the two of us, it's easy to intercept this car, but to go to brothels and mines to rescue more people, I'm afraid we need help." ”

"We need to go back to Mr. Rogge and convince him to help us!" Catherine looked up at the sky and said to Murphy, "Let's go to the inn now and find him, and save the girls first!"

"And what about these people?" Murphy asked, looking at the young men beside Catherine, "They can't go back to town, and they can't leave them here, Hood may send troops to hunt them down." ”

"I can hide them in the root passage for the time being, prepare some fruit for them to feed their hunger, and when the matter is settled, we will come back to them and help them arrange their way out. Monica suddenly interjected.

Catherine and Murphy thought this was a solution, and immediately asked Monica to do it, and the little flower spirit cast a spell to dig a root passage in the ground, so that everyone could hide in it, and then resealed the ground with dirt and turf, leaving only some ventilation holes, and there was nothing unusual on the outside.

After arranging everything, Catherine and Murphy got on their horses and returned to the town, where they first returned to the inn to ask the boss about Rogge's whereabouts, who told them that Rogge had not come to the inn and that they had to wait for him in the lobby of the inn.

Time passed little by little, and Rog never appeared, and Catherine sometimes got up restlessly to look at the door, and sometimes returned to the table and tapped her fingers on the table worriedly, knowing that the more time was delayed, the less chance those girls would be safe.

Seeing that it was getting dark, and Rogge still didn't show up, Catherine couldn't sit still, and she got up and asked Murphy to work with him to get the girls out first, make sure they weren't hurt, and then discuss the matter of the mine.

The two of them inquired secretly and found this place in a remote and gloomy alley, and unexpectedly, the door was open, and a large man with a fierce face lay on the ground, with a bright red blood mark on his neck.

Murphy and Catherine looked at each other in astonishment, and walked past him, through a small deserted courtyard, into a large, foul-smelled room, and they walked through the corridors, through the doors of the messy and filthy rooms, and found that there was no one there.

Just when the two of them were full of suspicion, in a large room at the end of the corridor, they met a charmingly dressed old woman, who had one of her ears cut off by someone for some reason, and her face was covered in blood and crying, and several dead strong men fell on the ground around them, and the floor was stained red with blood.

Murphy stepped forward to grab the bustard, and asked him about the whereabouts of the girls sent by Baron Hood, and the bustard trembled and told him that a man in a tuxedo had just broken in and rescued them all, and that he had killed all the people in the house.

"Men in tuxedos?" Murphy looked back at Catherine in surprise, and the girl shook her head blankly.

Murphy pushed the bustard away and looked up into the room, and suddenly found a shiny card embedded in the wall, with a blood stain on the edge, he stepped forward to take the metal card off, looked down, and suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect this guy to be here, this thing seems to be getting more and more interesting!" Murphy muttered to himself as he stared at the card, he put it on his body, turned around and hurried out of the place with Catherine.

The two avoided the soldiers of the security team who rushed to the street after hearing the news, and hurried to the direction of the hotel, but halfway through, they suddenly saw the crowd in front of them commotion, only to see a large amount of white paper floating in the sky, and the people on the street reached out curiously to pick it up, and the scene became a little chaotic for a while.

Murphy picked up a piece of paper from the ground and found that it was a letter, signed by Baron Hood, and the recipient was the director of the orphanage, and talked about some details of their purchase and sale of orphans, including the bargaining between the two sides.

He handed the letter to Catherine, looked back at the crowd around him, and saw that the expressions on people's faces had changed from curiosity to surprise to anger, and many began to shout at Hood and the orphanage, and the angry crowd ran in the direction of the orphanage.

"I think I know who did it, let's go back to the inn!" Murphy told Catherine to throw the letter away, and dragged her back to the inn, and as soon as they entered, they saw Rogge sitting at a table in the corner of the inn lobby, which was full of hearty food, and the little furball was sitting beside him, eating his face full of oil.

Opposite him, a young man in a black tuxedo and a high hat sat with a fair face and a shaved chin, the opposite of Rogge's painting style with a beard and a dusty face.

Murphy took Catherine to the table quickly, pressed the metal card on the table without waiting for them to speak, looked at the two of them and said in a low voice: "I really can't imagine that the first and second most wanted criminals on the Imperial Wanted List will appear here at the same time!"

He turned his head and looked at the face of the man in the tuxedo, and smiled meaningfully, "Isn't it?"
