Although Humpty Dumpty was still alive, his face was pale, his hands and feet were weak, and he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

The militia pulled open the robe on the other man's body and found a round blood hole in the man's chest, and a projectile had hit the ribs.

"This kind of gunshot wound with only import and no exit is troublesome, much worse than penetrating wound,

The lead bullet hit the bone, released a lot of energy and then stopped at the superficial part of the wound, and the sharp fragments of the ribs must have cut some organs inside, causing severe internal bleeding, and I don't think this child will live long. He said to Victor next to him.

Something unexpected happened, and Humpty Dumpty, who fell to the ground and was dying, seemed to understand these words, and he muttered in the lingua franca of the continent of Ulassis, "No...... No...... I don't want to die...... I made money...... It's not fair to not be able to go back......"

"Oops! This kid can actually speak the lingua franca! The militia exclaimed.

"Hahaha!" Victor smiled very happily: "Great, I have left the most useful mouth!" ”

In order to let the dying stranger hear his words clearly, he squatted down, approached and said, "Answer my question honestly, or I will torture you and make your life worse than death!" ”

"Don't ...... Other...... Please...... I've been in pain enough, every breath hurts, I'll give you everything, I just beg you to spare my life. ”

"It depends on how much information you can give, tell me first, what's your name?"

"My name, my name is Rakutu Alimanana, which is an ancient Ceylonese name, which translates into your text as Freman, which means free man,

Because I was born as a slave, but I was not reconciled, and later earned money to redeem myself as a free body, so I had the right to use this name. ”

"Well, well, I'll call you Freeman!

Your country is really backward, our Empress has long since outlawed slavery in the Scales and its colonies, and in our Valstad, it is a capital offense to be involved in human trafficking. Naturally, a tragedy like yours is very difficult to play out.

"Hey...... I'm so envious...... If only I were a Valstadian, your Emperor...... She must be a great monarch......"

"Well, slapping you won't fool you around, son. I ask you, are there any of your men in the stone gate? ”

"I didn't ...... Gone...... Our group of thirteen, all but me, is dead. ”

"It's yours." Edgar walked over, put the muzzle of the gun to the opponent's forehead, pulled the hammer, and threatened, "Humph! Now let's enter this stone gate, and if you dare to lie, I'll blow your dog's head off!" ”

"This time, change me! You can't always bother Your Majesty and the Princess. One of the militiamen recommended himself, and then stepped forward,

He didn't expect that the seemingly heavy stone door had been pushed open halfway without much effort, and it was estimated that it had been loosened, and then, holding a kerosene lamp, he looked inside:

"Looks like this Humpty Dumpty isn't lying...... Inside is a hall, with kerosene lamps on the walls and torches on the pillars, and it's quite bright, but I don't see anyone......

Wait a minute...... That's what it tastes like...... It's really ...... Oh my god! Ahem, ahem! ”

The militia coughed violently, then covered his nose and pushed the stone door completely open with his back.

An indescribable stench gushed out.

"This taste...... It reminds me of the stinking ditch on the ragged street of Scales, where no one cleans it......" said Young Master William, covering his nose.

The brave militiaman took a few more steps inside, then suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said, "There are some strange things in here, but it should be safe, you can come in and have a look." ”

Victor saw a huge oak shield hanging on the wall next to him, he reached out and took it off, blew the floating earth on it, and then dragged the dying Humpty Dumpty to the shield, and said:

"Use this as a stretcher, come and help me carry the other side, be sure to be light, this guy is very weak and can't afford to toss."

When they all entered the stone gate, they found that there was a hole in it.

This hall is much taller and more open than the previous one, and the decoration is also very luxurious.

Inside, there are many colonnades in the classical style of the ancient Valstad Empire, and the flower panels are covered with decorative pieces made of jade, and the wooden wainscoting has long since decayed, revealing the rough granite stone walls.

Due to the geological changes over the years, it is inevitable that the ground will be deposited and uneven, and the marble floors on the ground will all crack.

Three portable kerosene lamps were hung in three corners of the hall, and several flaming torches were inserted on several pillars, so that the whole hall had a faint light source.

There was a huge stone square table in the middle of the hall, which was blocked by pillars, and it was difficult to see, so I took a closer look;

Several butter candles were placed in the four corners of the table, illuminating the red circle on the table, apparently painted with live blood, as several corpses lay flat on the floor next to the table.

When the militia saw the corpse's face, his emotions quickly became out of control, and he fell to his knees and wept bitterly:

"Oh, that's miserable! Sergeant Simchel! "Big Dick and the Dick brothers, and old Schmeichel! They're all here! ”

Victor walked over and found that the skin of several corpses had turned unusually pale, apparently drained of blood:

"This is the member of our Fog Pine Town Patrol?" He asked.

"Right...... They have ...... All dead! ”

The militiaman wept, then became furious, and he turned his head and walked towards the dying stranger lying on his shield:

"It's all these gringos! These mad brutes! Bloodsucker! I'm going to cut him alive with a knife!" Avenge your brothers! ”

Viktor hurriedly stretched out his arm and stopped the militia who were out of control:

"Calm down! Your friends have already gone to the church, and killing this guy won't save them, so you might as well keep him and ask for some useful information. ”

The militia could not listen to these words, and he tried to break free a few times, but Victor's arm held him firmly in place like an iron pincer, and the militia limped weakly, fell to his knees, and sobbed:

"Your Excellency...... Don't stop me! I...... I want to avenge my brothers!

Woowoo...... We're old colleagues, and we've worked together for half our lives.

Especially Sergeant Simchel, who ...... His son had just gotten married...... He and I are old neighbors, and before leaving, I promised his family to take him home safely, but now...... Ay!

How am I going to go back and talk to his family? ”

"It's all over, friend, life has to go on, let's see it." Victor patted the other man on the back, trying to reassure him.

Suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, and found that the other two militiamen were also glaring viciously at Humpty Dumpty Freeman on the ground, and the vigilante and gendarmes also had the same expressions, as if they were about to eat each other in one bite, and he quickly realized:

(These people have a good relationship with the deceased and want to avenge them...... This is not going to work, we must not let this only captive die, or we will lose all our efforts. ）

Thinking of this, he shouted, "Edgar, help me protect the captives on the earth!" Don't let these angry locals kill him! ”
