VII: Bounty Hunters
As a trading hub on the East Coast, Linden City is in full swing with an astonishing cargo throughput and a wide variety of moored ships.
But only for merchant ships.
Secret Harbor.
There are several natural sea cliffs around Linden City, forming huge karst caves, which are extremely hidden, and have become a secret stronghold for the city's nobles to evade the Duchy's customs duties and hoard private armies.
But after a certain scale, it can't be hidden, and it is impossible for the Admiral of Linden City to not know about it, but these families are deep-rooted, and after transferring benefits, they can only turn a blind eye.
The brigs of the Black Sails Pirates are anchored in a secret harbor.
There is no stone road to the secret harbor, only two horses wide, rammed earth path for a carriage to pass, and the two sides are also covered by tall green trees, which is deserted.
The sonorous sound of the iron handover was repeated, and the swords and gauntlets collided with bundles of sparks, all with red eyes, and life and death were all in one thought.
In the midst of the greenery.
"It's too slow, it's too slow! How do you eat so slowly? ”
Wren wielded with ease, swinging his arms to block one swift and deadly slash after another.
Two strong, fierce-looking men in leather armor are attacking Wren left and right, the swords are swift and eyeless, and adults who have been professionally trained to use cold weapons, it is far easier to cut meat and chop bones than imagined, as long as they succeed, they will either die or be disabled.
There was a bang, and it seemed to be a fracture of gold and stone.
Wren's left arm made a huge block, and the long knife curled up, and a bounty hunter's mouth cracked, the joint nerves were completely paralyzed, and the weapon was shocked to the ground.
Immediately, it was as fast as silver light, and the sharp and shiny claws had pinched the neck, and the nails comparable to iron tools were completely cut into the flesh, and the broken throat pipe reached the bone, and it was twisted off by the trend, like a bamboo piece being skimmed, and the head drooped in a strange arc, killing on the spot.
The remaining bounty hunter did not panic when he saw that his companion was dead, his psychological quality was extremely strong, and his skills were much better than the other, and his sword swept towards Wren like a storm.
Wren solves one, and has no intention of falling into a longer fight, this is not child's play, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, how can his life be a joke?
In the chaos of the sword, Wren's arms were all resisted, and the speed of his claws became more and more violent, and sparks flew everywhere.
The bounty hunter gradually gained the upper hand, knowing that the opponent's strength was overwhelming, and he picked up a sword to deceive Wren with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and then slashed his sword diagonally, trying to injure Wren's abdominal organs and kill him.
But Wren's tall physique was unexpectedly extremely swift and agile, and he dodged and jumped, and finally landed on a tree six or seven meters high, his claws embedded in the bark, and his cold gaze stared at the bounty hunter's hair standing on end.
Finished.
This is the first thought of a bounty hunter.
Wren slammed down from the sky, and he was not afraid of being pierced by a sword.
The bounty hunter subconsciously used the best solution to stab Wren in the abdomen.
Sure enough.
There was a loud bang, and the birds in the forest were scattered in fear, and the long sword was bounced away by the gauntlet without any suspense, and the bounty hunter's hand holding the sword was also shocked to a momentary loss.
Seeing that this swordsman was about to be disemboweled.
But his left hand is more flexible than his right hand, the long sword fell from behind him, and the other hand held the hilt of the sword where Wren could not see behind him, and the losses he had suffered before made him know that he could not recklessly take out the sword, and the horizontal and vertical slashes would be blocked by this werewolf.
Click......
Scarlet blood overflowed from Wren's palm, dripping on the gravel road under his feet, extremely eye-catching, and he held the sword in his hand and pinched it tightly.
"There are two hits, no wonder even Lao Tzu dares to kill."
Wren clenched the blade of his sword in his palm, unable to move no matter how hard the bounty hunter tried.
The bounty hunter hurriedly stepped back and took out a folding knife from his waist strap for emergency situations.
"Kas! Top dog! ”
The bounty hunter shouted the name of the leader, knowing that it was impossible to reverse it on its own.
"Haha." Wren let out a terrifying laugh, his fangs appeared, his bloody mouth was visible, he threw away the sword in his hand, stretched out his long tongue and licked the blood on his claws, his terrifying face was terrifying, "It is indeed a reasonable arrangement, let your boss go and cut our second mate, call Kas, yes, it's really a bit back, he drew the next lot." ”
Wren didn't have to think about it to know the result, the Sword of Dawn of the Navy Captain of Blue Bay Harbor, which was famous on the east coast, was chopped up by Oaks in less than a minute, I don't know where the bounty hunter came from, how old is it?
While speaking, Oakes carried the "two halves" of his body, the upper half and the lower half, and came to the battlefield on Wren's side with one hand, and the corpse named Cass had a large cut in his waist and was bleeding.
"Awesome, man."
Seeing that the situation was completely under control, Wren opened the champagne directly.
Seeing the tragic condition of the boss's corpse, the bounty hunter's face immediately turned to ashes.
In the moment he was stunned, there was a click.
Wren flew by, only to hear the fascia burst, the bones crisp, and directly tore off one of his forearms in a whistling manner, completely destroying the swordsman, and the shoulder section was bleeding.
"Who instructed you?"
Oakes tossed the beheaded body to the ground like garbage, and asked the only remaining bounty hunter.
"Need instructions to kill you pirates? Stop talking nonsense, let's do it. ”
This swordsman was quite tough, known to die, and turned a blind eye to the wound to his shoulder.
"Okay, it's a man."
Oakes didn't say much, the extra-large sword was as light as a foam board in his hand, giving the swordsman a pleasure, a sword stabbed into the chest and pierced out from behind, picked in the air and slammed into the ground, killing him directly.
Wren saw that the bounty hunters were all dead.
"Could it be that the lord of the city instructed us to kill our people? If you swallow the money from the bank's vault again, isn't there danger on the captain's side? ”
Wren thought that the men had been eyeing him for a long time, and only waited until he and Oakes were left alone to intercept him on the path leading to the secret harbor.
Oakes thought for a while, and said: "Impossible, we have made a windfall, which cannot be compared with MG, we have been doing business here for generations, and we can't look down on these few people, and we just give the other party a little face to run that casino and money bank, and knock and knock to make them don't stretch their hands too far." For the sake of fame, there are also his subordinate officials who are responsible, and the faces of the scholars in this area are well known, so they are not afraid to get involved with us. Besides, he must know what we are capable of, and that's what these bounty hunters mean, if he sends someone, he has to ask the doorman who can come to the stage, or ask the Admiral Linden City to send troops. ”
After listening to Oakes's analysis, Wren believes that the head is the Tao and the logic is meticulous.
"Looks like a wild bounty hunter, hey." Wren sighed, crouched down and looked at the swordsman's corpse, "Now people have two brushes, so they think that Invincible has come out to be a bounty hunter, just deceive your buddy, buddy is deceived nothing, it can also give you a comfort in your heart, just go over with a haha, don't take yourself seriously, see what happens now?" ”
The people are already dead, Wren is still killing people, Oakes snorted, Lister Jin sentence was frequent, extremely aggressive, and led several people on the ship.
However, the captain is right in saying that birds die for food, and people die for money.
They all came out to beg for food, and they just nodded their heads.
The Oakes swordsman closed his eyes and began to search his body.
Wren also began to help with the loot.
Only a dozen silver coins were found from a few corpses, as well as fragments of copper plates, and there were no important documents, and it seemed that they were indeed bounty hunters who took risks for their wealth.
Later, a whole eleven paper wanted notices were found, and the portraits were all from highly skilled painters who specialized in eating this bowl of rice, even if the sporadic details did not match, but they were quite expressive, and they could be recognized at a glance, regardless of race.
Wren flipped through them one by one, looking for himself.
"This time it actually went up by thirty, I want to kill myself, wipe."
Wren complained, he was still alone.
"It is estimated that it was added by relatives in other places of the lord of Lanwan Harbor, his uncle and uncle, after all, killing his whole family, a cult member of the family, and if he dies, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
More than a dozen silver coins are also money, Oakes put it in his pocket, and said calmly, he doesn't care about his bounty at all, no matter how high it is, he has to have his life to get it.
