Chapter 32: You and I Have No Choice! (Ask for follow-up)
Listening to Lynn's words, Lauder's face suddenly changed, and he secretly cursed Coru in his heart, revealing such important news to a few apprentices, so that he was implicated in his own head.
He didn't think that Lynn was deceiving himself, after all, the movements of the Holy See in the past few days were an extremely obvious signal.
It is precisely because of this concern that he chooses to hide behind the scenes to observe the situation, ready to run away anytime and anywhere, but he doesn't want to be found out.
"The [Boat Gang] has been operating in Harbor Town for many years, so it should be very well-informed, do you know who the person who was arrested by the Holy See?" Lynn asked expectantly.
Lauder shook his head hesitantly, and replied rather helplessly. "Now that the boat gang is being watched, I know very little, but I'm afraid that the archbishop has blocked the news, and now only the priests of Harbour Town have access to such classified information."
It is not easy to corrupt and control a priest, who has powerful magical skills, usually has strong beliefs, and is not short of money, all of whom are extremely hard-core.
Therefore, even though the [Boat Gang] has been operating in Harbour Town for decades, he usually avoids these people and tries not to have any contact with the clergy of the Holy See.
Lynn's brows couldn't help frowning, he wanted to get enough information from Lauder, but he didn't want to even know about the other party, which was completely unexpected.
"Master Wizard, are you planning to rescue the arrested wizard apprentices?" Lauder asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's important to you and me, isn't it?" Lynn said with ease.
"I'm afraid it's hard, there are guards everywhere in Harbor Town now, and they may not be locked up in the harbor prison, even if you manage to get people out, you won't be able to escape from Harbortown." Lauder shook his head and retorted. "Instead of taking this risk, it is better to find a way to kill them, which will be much less difficult!"
Since the other party knows the secret of the [Boat Gang], it is enough to make this person disappear.
It's usually easier to kill someone than to save someone!
Lynn is not surprised by Lauder's ruthlessness, in this dark world, a human life is really nothing, not to mention that it also involves the secrets of the wizarding land.
However, Lynn did not agree with the other party's opinion, and sneered and spoke. "Mr. Lauder, are you still imagining that after this matter is over, the [Boat Gang] will be able to stay in Harbor Town and continue to make money?"
Since Ansulk chose Harbour Town as its station, it must mean that the other party has found some clues, even if the white pigeon and Jonny are dead now, sooner or later they will be able to find Lauder's head.
After all, most of the cargo transportation in the entire harbor town is related to the [Boat Gang]!
Lauder's face became very ugly, and he could naturally think of this, but he was unwilling to admit this fact.
All in all, he's been in Harbor Town for twenty years, and it's safe to say that all the hard work of the second half of his life is here!
"You are a smart man, Mr. Lauder, and the only way for us to survive now is to cross the Sea of Confusion by boat and go to the Land of Wizards, otherwise whatever you do, you will be found out by the Holy See wherever you hide!" Lynn said bluntly. "Now you can take some of the accumulated money with you by crossing the sea by boat, but if you wait for Ansuike to do it first, then you are afraid that it will be difficult for you to even survive!"
Lauder looked at Lynn deeply, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally sighed helplessly. "It's too late to go to sea now! Harbour Town has begun to tighten the control of cargo ships entering and leaving, and today two large ships were supposed to carry goods, but both were arrested. ”
"So fast?" Lynn paused, it seemed that the situation was worse than he had imagined, but quickly regained his composure and asked. "But you always have a way to fix it, don't you?"
In the past few days in Harbor Town, in order to find this old fox, he has almost been dazed by all kinds of true and false news.
If it weren't for the horror of the transformation magic that allowed him to disguise himself as the leader of the [Boat Gang], there really would be no way to find out the other party.
Such a cautious person, Lynn did not believe that Lauder would not have expected the day when he would be trapped in the town by the lockdown of the port, and it was impossible not to make any preparations.
Lynn quickly thought about all the information she had heard these days......
Since the harbor is in a semi-blockade state, the only ones who can leave the port freely during this period are those warships responsible for patrolling the sea area!
"The Holy Spirit, the Sky Dome, the Watcher...... Which ship has your people in it? Lynn asked curiously.
Lauder's face twitched, he didn't expect Lynn to even guess this, he even wondered if someone among his henchmen betrayed him, and he could only admit it immediately. "Yes...... Skydome! ”
Enough is enough!
Lynn was amazed that Lauder's methods were so sure that he could take control of a warship, and he just wanted to deceive the other party.
Lauder said angrily. "It's not as easy as you think, although the captain of the Sky Dome is my man, but every time the ship leaves and leaves the port, it needs to be reported and verified, and once it deviates from the course, I am afraid that it will soon be discovered by the sentry."
In the misty sea, their warships can only rely on long-range bows and arrows or ramming angles to fight in close combat, but the opposing ship has the presence of priests, and even the strongest ships will be torn to shreds after a few magic spells.
And the large-scale transfer of people and materials is not an easy thing to do.
"You don't need to worry about that, when we cross the sea, they won't have time to pay attention to us anymore." Lynn swore by it.
"I have a plan, if it goes well, no amount of troops will be a threat anymore, but this will require the help of the [Boat Gang]......"
Lynn looked at Lauder, waiting for the other party's response, there were thousands of boatmen in the entire [Boat Gang], even if it was just a group of rabble, if it could be used, it would be an extremely huge force.
"You'd better not rely on them to fight against the Holy See's guards......" Lauder sighed, although the [Boat Gang] had a lot of men, most of them were just begging for a living under his hands.
It's okay to engage in gang fights on weekdays, but if you really pull out to fight with the regular army, I'm afraid that before the fight starts, half of the people will turn back on the spot!
"Don't worry, I just need you to do a little thing." Lynn took a piece of parchment from her cuff and shoved it in front of Lauder. "Can you collect these things? The more the merrier! ”
