Chapter 2 Yiyi: The wolves with broken arms
The time on the contract was three days away, and Merlin and Sheldon had plenty of time to pack their bags. Sheldon mainly buys some clothing, drinking water, and various foods for the two of them.
Merlin's body hadn't swelled lately, but his appetite was still undiminished, and Sheldon's over-care of him had given him a penchant for a little snack from time to time. Nightmare also seems to like the taste of small snacks, especially sweets wrapped in cocoa powder, which he gives the best title of "not annoying".
Sheldon also thought about the safety of the two, this was the first time he had bought a firecracker, and he didn't know if the skins of these orcs would stop these hard bullets. Ordinary magic bullets are less powerful than real metal bullets, and Sheldon can even make one himself with his own magical knowledge, so he didn't even think about wearing a magic bullet.
He didn't think about making a pair of guns for Merlin, children shouldn't touch them, not in any way. Besides, when it comes to critical moments, he can also protect himself perfectly, and his small body contains great strength. Let's hope the nightmare inside him can protect Merlin......
Prilius saw that there was room for expansion in their backpacks, so he also put his own bags in them. Sheldon couldn't believe his eyes when he saw him put a full set of iron armor inside, after all, the people escorting these death row inmates also included government workers, and there was no need to be afraid of this. At best, they're just going through the motions.
"It's going to add a lot of weight to our package, and you don't really have to." Sheldon had to add another layer of gravity-reducing magic to the creeping spell wrap, "Besides, this dude, the orcs have dented your armor with a single palm, is it about the same." β
"I can carry the package, but I can't go out!" Prilius said sternly, "You two are good at traveling, and do nothing as if you were traveling!" β
"We're ready, as for safety, I know it myself, and I don't need you to mix it up here." Sheldon had already figured out Prilius' thoughts, "If there is really danger at that time, you can't even wear armor, I suggest you run away quickly." β
"Cut!" Plylius rolled his eyes and didn't say much.
Three days later, the three of them went together to the square in front of the gate of the Palazzo Pocelona, where they were gathered as escorts in the middle of a large crowd of onlookers. I didn't expect that escorting a group of death row prisoners would have such a solemn ceremony, and it was even worth laying a red blanket on the ground in front of the door for the king to walk.
At the glittering entrance is a huge high chair on which sits the current king of Yaris, Charlie. Philip, the king's personal eunuch, was holding a brand new piece of parchment and checking its contents word by word. When all the personnel are present, this so-called "ceremony" will begin.
"Good morning, fellow citizens of Yaris!" Philip was dressed in a formal suit, and even though he was very old, his tone was full of energy, "You are very welcome to take time out of your busy schedules to witness this solemn scene today." β
Roughly speaking, within two years, the non-aggression between humans and orcs and the peaceful coexistence of humans and orcs were basically achieved in the territory of Yaris. The orc rebellion of two years ago is about to be liquidated one after another, and the group of orcs in the square today are about to be sent to the [Land of Desire] to be executed, hoping that this incident can calm the hatred in people's hearts.
Most of the people present had experienced this unpleasant event, which ended in a total rout on the orc side, and the entire city of Van Can caused huge economic losses. There are also many lives. The Yaris had never been content to be quiet, and they seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing in their hearts, as if they were watching a group of monkeys arguing on a shining platform, and they only found it funny.
The orcs in the square were all males, but they were not as strong as they had been fighting in the rebellion, and most of them were naked, and although they had some muscles, they could basically see the rudimentary shape of the bones. In the past two years, they are estimated to have nothing to do, and those who can survive are basically only able to eat one meal in two or three days.
"How do I think we should come over in formal clothes today......" Plylius looked like he had never seen the world, and kept waving to the surrounding audience, "Sheldon, this is also a good opportunity to let others know!" β
"Son, do we know him?" Sheldon said earnestly, taking Merlin's little hand.
Merlin also replied with a serious face: "Dad, who is this person?" It looks so humiliating. β
Plylius hunched up, and it seemed that he had really become a monkey jumping up and down. He said dejectedly: "Don't be like this, we are good brothers, this is a friendship that has dealt with things, don't do this......"
"Who are you? I don't know you. Sheldon smiled politely at him, pulled Merlin and said, "Son, don't be like this uncle, it's rude." β
"Hey, hey! Don't do that...... That armor of mine is expensive! β
"Don't do that next time, and the carriage next to us seems to be the ......one that escorts the prisoners," Sheldon saw that the circle outside was full of handsome men and women in gorgeous clothes, "We seem to have been used as a sword." β
Plylius was dumbfounded: "What...... What do you mean? β
At this moment, the last countdown of the trip came to an end, and a black-haired man walked in the periphery, with a flirtatious smile on his mouth, obviously commanding the hired sorcerats: "You pull the prisoners into these carriages, and you need someone to accompany you every hour, and as for who, you will discuss it yourself." Every hour you get out of the car to check if any prisoners have escaped, and if they do, the responsibility is on you. β
All the mercenaries present were stupid, these glamorous officials actually pushed their duties on themselves? And to arrange these tigers, beasts, wolves, and orcs who seem to be very good at killing people with themselves, how is it possible!
"Are you mistaken......" Prilius stepped forward, as if constipated, but the other party ignored him, patted his ass and ran away.
I don't know how many of them there are, and there are only ten mercenaries hired in total. Although there were miscellaneous servants from the Security Division and the Armed Forces Division who came forward with them, their figures were the same as papier-mΓ’chΓ©, so it was strange that they could be relied on.
"It's really strange...... Sheldon had no choice but to gesture to Plylius with his eyes, there was no way to get it, "son, don't look scared when the time comes, just stare at them, you know?" β
"You're not afraid of being beaten if you say that?" Prilius's face was about to contort, "I always feel ...... Belch...... You're right. β
He watched as Sheldon pulled out a glittering firearm from his bosom and pinned it to his waist. He had nothing more to say. Resist or something, and if a shot collapses, you won't be able to resist much.
Sheldon pulled Merlin, Plylius followed Sheldon, and the other mercenaries turned around and began to call the thirty or forty orcs into the carriage.
"They're so skinny." Merlin said to Sheldon, "He doesn't look like he has much energy, he probably doesn't have the strength to escape, and he has a lot of healing wounds." β
Let's hope so....... But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens. He was now staring only at the two tallest of the prisoners, one was a tiger orc and the other was a wolf orc. Although they were skinny and skinny, and as the so-called emaciated camels were bigger than horses, they could pinch their necks in two with just one hand.
"What's that...... Ahem......" Sheldon almost forgot what to say, "you guys, get in the car, don't think about running away." β
Sheldon didn't have any prejudice against the orc race, after all, the other party is still a prisoner who has killed people, and it's always good to be careful......
"Get in the car for me, be quick!" This shout will deafen the ears of all the mercenaries, "Hurry up! β
The one who said this was actually the tallest tiger orc among the prisoners, and the other wolf orc waved his hand, actually driving all the reluctant prisoners into the car!
What the hell is going on?
