Tom looked at the distant backs of the black-armored cavalry for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and he quickly opened the door of the carriage, and saw the little maid in the back seat with her eyes closed and motionless.

The captain of the Black Dog Guard placed a finger under the little maid's nose, and only then did his heart relax when he felt the latter's steady breathing.

Then a wave of exhaustion came over him, and Tom sat down on the floor, gasping for air.

When the smoke cleared further and everyone else gathered around, Tom saw Golden Pupil and the other Black Dog Guard he had left behind on the other side of the street.

Both of them were also safe and sound, and there were a lot of blood stains on the golden pupils' bodies, but it seemed that they were all left on the other side.

Truth be told, the battle over there ended much quicker than Tom expected.

At first, Tom thought it was the harassment of the people who stayed behind, but when he asked, he realized that the lizardman warrior didn't have time to make a move.

In terms of despicable golden eyes, he was no better than Tom, and he shouted a fair one-on-one battle, but he sprinkled lime on it first.

It's just that Li Yu is not here, otherwise he must ask to see if Jin Tong is a master surnamed Wei.

The poor butcher still wanted to compete with Jin Tong after his martial arts advanced, but he didn't expect to be blinded by the opposite side before he could fight.

Masters compete, the victory or defeat is already in the millimeter, let alone such a big debuff, and the golden pupil has no guilt at all after the butcher.

While his opponent was still roaring angrily, he had quietly left his previous position as he waved his weapon indiscriminately, went around to the butcher's side, and gently stabbed his long sword forward, and stabbed it into his opponent's throat.

The whole battle ended quickly, and in just three or two breaths, Jin Tong had already eliminated the person with the biggest threat on the opposite side.

The scene of the battle that everyone expected did not happen at all.

After hearing this, Tom was also secretly glad that he had won the golden pupil by sneak attack, otherwise there would really be a battle, and he didn't know how many people he would have been killed by this guy.

Although Clara was found, the group did not celebrate.

They were still in a safe situation at this point, and they had to leave the City of Scales before dawn.

The pass order must no longer have worked at this time, and the group of black-armored cavalry just now ran in the direction of the city gate, and may have already told the defenders at the gate of their whereabouts.

Therefore, after only a short rest, Tom organized his men and prepared to break out, trying to rush out of the city before the other side could react.

The group was ready for another fight, with Tom still having four smoke grenades left on his body, as well as a three-eyed bird to distract the defenders if necessary.

But when they arrived at the city gate, the scene in front of them made everyone confused again.

Because there was already a fight here, on one side were the Mai men of the new army, and the other group, although they were smaller in number, were significantly better equipped and better trained.

At present, it has gained the upper hand, and has been pressing those Mai people to fight.

At first, Tom thought it was Martina's advance army that had entered the city ahead of time and was seizing the gates, but then the golden pupils recognized the identity of the group.

"It's the guards of the Raimundi family, and it seems that the lord of the city is not as weak and incompetent as the outside world says."

Tom's heart changed when he heard this, and at this time, two waves of people who were fighting not far away also discovered them.

The atmosphere became a little eerie for a while.

Obviously, the two waves of people didn't know where they came from, but compared to the new army, which was about to collapse, the guards of the Raimundi family were clearly at ease.

A team of people was also divided to guard against the people of the Shuangxiu Sect.

Jin Tong lowered his voice and reminded, "Whether you are preparing to fight or fleeing, it is best to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise when those people solve the scum of the new army, it will be our turn next." ”

Tom took a deep breath when he heard this, then took the initiative to put away his sword, took two steps forward, and said, "We are mercenaries in the Cyclops Tavern, entrusted by the son of the sheriff, Constantino, to capture the gangsters who are causing trouble in the city. ”

A middle-aged man dressed as a knight also walked out of the crowd, his face softened slightly, and he looked Tom up and down, "You are from Ashurav?" ”

"To be exact, we are only accepting a commission from his son." Jin Tong said to the side.

"What about that girl, what's going on, is she also a mercenary?"

The knight gestured to Clara on the back of a lizardman warrior.

"No, she's just an innocent citizen we saved from a group of thugs halfway through."

"I didn't know that mercenaries like you also had the spirit of hoeing the strong and helping the weak." The knight snorted, "In that case, let's help us kill all these hypocrites who have been bewitched by Herodotus." ”

"I refuse." Tom said.

The knight's face turned gloomy when he heard this, "You seem to be in the same league with them as you are prevaricating like this?" ”

"You misunderstood us, it's not that we don't want to work for you, it's just that we've already taken money from Master Constantino."

Tom looked as usual, "According to the results of Lord Constantino's investigation during this time, this riot in the city tonight was secretly instigated by a group of thugs in black armor, and we were chasing them before, and only by catching them can we get the remaining half of the bounty." ”

Since the Raimundi family chose to send troops at this time to seize the city gates, it is clear that they have made up their minds to betray Herodotus and take refuge in Martina's side.

In this way, as long as those black-armored cavalry are not stupid, it is impossible to reveal their identities, and those corpses under the city gate are the best evidence.

Tom had already seen the corpses of several Raimundi family guards, as well as the bodies of two black-armored cavalrymen.

If nothing else, the two sides have just played each other.

That's why Tom dares to make up such a lie.

Sure enough, the knight heard Tom's words and muttered for a moment, but instead of forcing them to attack the remnants of the new army together, he waved his hand.

"Those guys you want to chase have run out of the city, if you want to catch them, you can chase them yourself, if you can catch them, I can add another reward to you."

"Thank you, sir."

Before Tom could rejoice, he heard the knight point at Clara with his whip and say, "Leave that girl behind." ”

Seeing that the people of the Shuangxiu Sect were motionless, he said impatiently, "Why, you still want to take her to chase people, let her go here first, and when I solve those hypocrites, I will naturally send someone to send her home and hand her over to her parents." ”

Tom and Golden Pupil glanced at each other, sighed and said, "That can only be wronged by you." ”
