Chapter 22: He's a tough guy
Sarah apparently saw the little white face too, and rode over to Leon and said, "That's Juan!" Leader of the Red Brotherhood...... My lord, he is a rogue knight hidden in the shadows of the Horton family—Forschel sent him to keep an eye on me before......"
Yo, that's a coincidence!
'Rogue Knight' is not a title or a type of troops, but specifically refers to those textbook-level old hooligans who do all kinds of evil under the nobles, and they are usually really lower-level knights, but they generally do not have fiefs, and they are considered scum among the nobles.
Knights with fiefdoms don't have that much to do as hooligans......
I underestimated this little white face before, but I didn't expect it to be a nobleman.
Probably because of his acting skills that screamed and rushed out of the tavern, he was really good.
But was Juan hunting down the skin at the behest of the Red Brotherhood or attacking him at the behest of Duke Alma?
Or ...... Both?
"Sarah, the Red Brotherhood of Lion City are all Duke Alma's men?"
Sarah nodded, then shook her head again: "Not the Duke...... To be precise, they were all Foscher's people. Forcher is the patron behind the Red Brotherhood in Lion City, and has been dealing with those shady things for Duke Alma, and Juan is considered Forscher's right-hand man. ”
I see, that illegitimate son turned out to be an underworld boss!
Or rather, the umbrella behind the underworld!
No wonder Duke Alma took such a fancy to that bastard.
Leon was a little impressed by a little Forscher. The guy who looks stupid in the arena probably has an extraordinary ability to deal with some of the on the dark side of society.
Anyone is always useful.
Why is Leon Griffin being hunted down by the Red Brotherhood of the two continents?
Li Ang has thought about this question many times, but he has never had the opportunity to verify it.
And now, looking at the battlefield with all the advantages, Leon feels that this is a good opportunity to ask for clarification - always try to solve this problem, and it is not comfortable to be secretly watched by a group of killers for a long time.
Looking at the battlefield, their side had already gained the upper hand, and Klose and the others had begun to surround the few remaining infantry on the other side.
It is estimated that the battle will soon be over.
"I've got to have a good talk with this guy...... Sarah, stay safe yourself, I'll catch that Juan. ”
Li Ang turned around and quickly put on his helmet.
He took out a hammer from his saddle bag and planned to rush over and knock the little white-faced Juan directly so that he wouldn't be run away by the other party again - in Lion City, this guy's extraordinary way of running away made Leon remember it vividly.
The reason for using a blunt weapon instead of a long sword - Leon didn't want to kill him by mistake.
Sarah saw that Li Ang rushed up directly, "hey" but did not stop, then gritted her teeth, pulled out the flying knife at her waist, and rode behind Li Ang.
Sarah probably thought that Leon was standing up for her, and looked at Leon with a warm look in her eyes.
After all, Leon was leading the troops into battle, but as soon as he heard that Juan was Forcher's man who was staring at Sarah, he immediately charged bravely without hesitation, which did seem very chivalrous......
Juan was looking around in panic when he soon saw Leon rushing towards him.
He only glanced sideways, and began to gallop with amazing reflexes, knocking over the two of his own people in front of him without hesitation, causing a few wails and curses—the kind with a lot of motherhood.
This added some obstacles to the chasing Leon, because it made Klose and the others pounced, and the hammer-wielding macho men blocked Leon instead.
Leon took a circle to avoid his men, and was run away by Forscher.
The camp was naturally walled, and Juan quickly fled outside the camp, and the direction of his escape was also clever, and he kept running along the gentle slope near the river to the nearby hill.
There are no roads, and most of them are barren mountains, which makes it difficult for Leon to play with his remarkable riding skills.
In terms of running, this guy Juan is indeed outstanding, and Li Ang will not be able to catch up for a while.
Behind her, Sarah came from behind—she weighed less, her horses carried less weight, and were much faster on the hillside.
Twenty or thirty meters away from Juan, Sarah threw two throwing knives directly as she galloped on horseback.
One of them hit Juan in the hip with precision......
And the other one, stuck in the horse's buttocks.
The horse was in pain, and Juan was thrown to the ground and ran away.
Juan lay on his back on the ground and let out a howl of pain, struggling to get up, but he couldn't seem to even roll over.
Li Ang whistled in admiration, looked at Sarah's heartfelt praise: "It's really amazing!" This kind of flying knife technology is rare! ”
Indeed, at a distance of nearly thirty meters, riding on a bumpy horse, facing an enemy who is constantly fleeing, it is possible to hit such a precise double shot with just a casual throw!
And both throwing knives hit the most scientific place - not to cause too much damage to kill people, but also to make the other party lose the ability to escape.
Li Ang even wondered if Sarah Zushang was also surnamed Lee?
Sarah was a little embarrassed: "Uh...... I'm aiming at his neck......"
Okay, that's the son of luck, and luck is also part of ability.
Why is it that all of his men have better luck than themselves?
Leon felt that this was very unfair......
But in any case, the person was caught, and Leon was in a good mood.
Leon rolled over and dismounted, walked over to Juan, who was howling, and gestured in front of Juan's eyes with a mace in his hand.
Juan's eyes showed a clear look of fear, and he gradually stopped howling in pain.
"You're from the Red Brotherhood, right? If you don't want to suffer, answer my questions well. ”
Li Ang didn't want to talk too much nonsense, and said straight to the point.
Juan's eyes purred, and then he saw Sarah walking by.
"Sarah! …… Sarah is the fiancée of Master Forscher! You actually kidnapped her? You also attacked the territory of the Horton family! Have you considered the consequences! You will be caught, subjected to all the terrible tortures in the world, and then crushed like a worm......"
Yoh?
How dare you scare people in this situation?
I didn't expect this guy to hide a tough guy's heart under his fierce and introverted expression?
Leon looked at Juan in amazement, took his hand and placed it on a stone, and then smashed a hammer on his little finger......
The fingers visibly flattened to the naked eye, and the sound of broken bones and the sharp and painful cries sounded one after another, startling the birds in the mountains one after another.
Sarah watched the play with great interest and seemed to appreciate the scene.
"I don't know if I'll suffer all the tortures in the world, but you'll be able to enjoy it soon...... Do you say it or not? ”
Leon raised his hammer again.
Juan's eyes burst into tears, his whole body convulsed and continued to howl, shaking his head frantically: "No...... Don't ......"
Hey?
What a pure man?
Leon even admired him a little.
There was no way, the interrogation always had to continue, and the hammer fell heavily again, this time even heavier than before, Juan's ring finger was flattened, and blood even splattered from the cracks of his nails.
This is by no means a torture that ordinary people can endure.
Juan's whitewashed face was covered with tears and sweat, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and his whole body tensed.
Li Ang couldn't help but be stunned for a while, this kid can really resist ...... The hooligans of the Red Brotherhood turned out to be real men like iron?
Isn't that scientific......
Just as Leon shook his head and raised the hammer again, Juan finally broke down—probably finally relieved, and cried and desperately protected his hand: "No...... Don't do this...... What do you want me to say? …… You ask!! ”
Well?
Looking at Li Ang's bewildered eyes, Sarah praised beside her: "My lord, your interrogation method is very special......"
Leon scratched his head and grinned.
I don't think I asked......
