Chapter 16 Laying the Net

When Arthur and the others woke up from their hut and had a simple and warm breakfast, they went to a stronghold near the pier of Saint-Rolle, where Arthur and the others would meet according to yesterday's agreement, and their prey would come today.

The River of Tears is a distribution center for many goods, and there are naturally many large warehouses along its banks, and Arthur takes Kaye and Athena to the gate of a normal warehouse.

After the agreed code, the thieves in the door opened the door of the warehouse, and a group of people had gathered inside, all of whom were elite thugs of the Saint-Rolle Thieves' Guild. They all bowed their heads to Arthur and said respectfully, "President." ”

In the commotion, a strong man, squeezing through the thieves around him, came up and saluted Arthur: "President Arthur, I am Abel, do you remember me? I am the first, the first." "He was the first one to go up and kill someone at Arthur's first meeting. Arthur naturally remembered.

"It's Able, you're in charge of the docks, it's a good management, and you're going to have to behave well today!" Arthur said casually.

"Sure, I promise they won't get out! Able was a little incoherent with excitement. That gamble earned him one of the most oily errands in Saint-Roll, and if he could be further appreciated by the president, then his status in Saint-Rol could be further improved.

At this time, Mark came out of the depths of the warehouse and said to Arthur, "President Arthur, you are here, they are already waiting inside!"

"Well, let's go inside!" Arthur nodded. Mark hurriedly led Arthur the way, and when Arthur turned around, he turned his head and glanced fiercely at Abel next to him. Able's neck was cold, and he shrank his head and did not speak, feeling a little regretful in his heart. But he thought disdainfully, as long as he was approved by President Arthur, what was Mark, the vice president. No one can remove him at will except the president.

In the depths of the warehouse, there was a square table with a rough map of the dock spread on it, everyone was standing or sitting around, Tony was sitting at the table, and then the light of the magic lamp, studying the terrain against the map, heard footsteps, turned back to Arthur and beckoned: "Arthur, you are here!"

Tony gave a strange look at Athena, who was following Arthur in the same direction. When Arthur and Kaye were about to leave this morning, Athena was arguing to go, and Arthur thought that this mission was not dangerous, and he was too lazy to do anything selfless, so he simply brought her with him. At this time, Athena regretted a little in her heart, and as soon as she entered, all kinds of eyes sprinkled on her and Arthur in the dark warehouse. She knew that she was willful this time, and she was a little happy that Arthur was spoiled, but she also regretted a little that she shouldn't have caused trouble to Arthur. He kept grabbing the corner of Arthur's coat and carefully followed him.

"Hehe, it's not dangerous, and I don't have to do anything, I can take care of her, so I'll take her out for a walk!" Arthur said casually. Although it is a bit suspected of harming the public for private reasons, Arthur naturally doesn't care, and uses the power in his hands generously. To a certain extent of the demeanor of modern corrupt officials, the greedy are justifiable.

Tony smiled and didn't care, and then said, "They should come ashore at night, Kim, tell me what we are all prepared for!"

Kim, who had been standing in the shadows in the corner of the warehouse just now, watching Kaye laugh, came out of the darkness at this moment, smiled at Arthur, and then smiled at Kaye, which provoked Kaye to glare angrily, and then retracted his expression, and said seriously: "There are our people watching along the coast, and the other party should go ashore from the opposite side, but it is not ruled out that the possibility of going ashore from our side is not ruled out." I have arranged for people, in addition to the ones outside, there are dozens of good hands, who will ambush on both sides of the river, and in order to cope with this, we have prepared twenty longbows, and the archers are all experienced. There are also four steel crossbows, all of which are used as marksmen. The other party should be wearing leather armor, and some don't even wear leather armor. The power of the bow and crossbow can be maximized. We prepare on the shore, and of course, maybe they will become hedgehogs without our intervention. It's just that the captured elves may not be saved. ”

Arthur was satisfied that the net of arrows formed by twenty longbows could be used against most melee professionals, and the user did not need to shoot with precision at all. And the power of the steel crossbow is even more on it, because it is a military management item, it is not easy to get these four. With these things, the other party has no armor that can resist, unless the tenth level can be used to resist with the fighting energy, otherwise it can only be resisted with the body.

And even if it is level ten, the fighting spirit is not unlimited, how many times can it resist? And there are many ways for a mage of the same level to crack it. This is also the reason for the high status of mages, as for the kind of saying that in a melee situation, a warrior can kill several mages, it is simply nonsense, and unreasonable comparisons do not make any sense at all. There is no such thing as near or far, and in the confrontation of the same level, it is difficult for a fighter to win when both sides are prepared. The situation did not change until level 10 and above. But just like now, mages are able to handle far more special situations than warriors.

Otherwise, if a mage of the same level can only fight against a warrior of the same level, then the status of a mage will not be so noble.

"You don't have to worry too much about the elves, it's good to save a few and save a few, the key is not to let anyone go. Tony said from the side. Originally, he should have been determined to rescue a few elves, but after talking to Arthur yesterday, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and his mood in this regard was not so urgent.

Arthur gave Tony a strange look, and secretly said that he really had the talent to be a teacher, and he saved a paranoid guy so quickly. Not knowing that he only played an inspiring role in inspiring Tony who walked in the dark. Otherwise, who says that you can completely change a person's mind with a few words, that's a joke, if you can't wake up on your own, who can easily change others?

"Alright then, let's wait for the night to fall!" Arthur concluded with a slight clapping of his hands.

"Now are we looking for a place to prepare lunch, I won't wait here until dark, why don't we go to the river and go to the cedar sturgeon, which is often the specialty of Saint-Rolle! I haven't eaten it in a long time!" said Arthur excitedly. He looks like a gentleman who doesn't know the severity of the matter at all.

Mark looked surprised, Arthur was not like this. Tony's two subordinates even had disdain in their hearts, and secretly said: No wonder President Andrew doesn't like this son, he is greedy for women's food, and he doesn't understand anything, which is much worse than Tony's boss.

Tony, however, understands that Arthur is an extremely casual man. Most of the opinions of others, he didn't take them to heart, and just acted according to his own heart. But it never spoils things. There is some admiration in his heart, he will probably never be able to be so free and easy as Arthur.

He also smiled and responded, "Okay, I can't come to your place for nothing." ”

Not only did he surprise the others again, but instead of stopping Arthur, Tony agreed. This made them even more confused about their brother's thoughts.

Arthur took in everyone's expressions, but he didn't care much, no matter whether others despised or appreciated, he would still do what he wanted to do, he crossed over and didn't pretend to be forced, occasionally pretending to be just personal entertainment, if you pretend to be forced all day long, it's ****.

As everyone walked out, Kim slowly leaned over to Kaye and said in a very low voice: "Hey, Kaye, I also think it's better to eat something, otherwise with your current physical strength, how can you have the strength to fight at night!" Coupled with the evil smile on his face, how cheap he is, how cheap he is.

New hatred and old hatred surged into his heart together, Kaye slammed his elbow, Jin snorted and stepped aside, with a painful expression on his face, after all, he was an assassin, and it would hurt for a long time to be attacked by Kaye, a swordsman. It's not that he didn't expect this consequence, but he couldn't help but let go of the opportunity to tease this only sister.

Arthur smiled at Kim and hugged Kaye to his side.

The rapids of the River of Tears turn at Saint-Rolle, forming a wide, gentle lake that is not re-bound into a thin belt until further downstream. A lot of fish gather here. Coupled with the beautiful scenery along the coast, it has become a place for many people to relax.

I had a meal at a small restaurant next to the River of Tears, a local snack, the silver sturgeon slowly turned yellow under the roasting of cedar wood, and then brushed with layers of chef's secret sauce, and when you bite into it, the white and delicate fish meat exudes heat. The steaming fish and the fruit wine with its cool flavor are highly praised by everyone.

At this moment, it is the afternoon, the autumn is crisp, the sky is cloudless, the sky is a transparent blue, the sun is direct, but there is always a bit of lazy taste. The cool breeze blowing from the river was already slightly cold, and Athena couldn't help but tighten her clothes, but Arthur simply uncovered his shirt and let the cool breeze slide through his chest wantonly. Originally, I just drank a little fruit wine, but in the warm sunshine and cool autumn breeze, I felt a little drunk. This kind of comfortable and casual time was something he could hardly enjoy in his previous life.

Indulge in what you want, enjoy yourself freely, but don't indulge, don't indulge, don't get trapped in it, so that you don't have to cross in vain.

Everyone looked at each other, but saw Arthur's long hair dancing in the wind, smiling, and looking free. Although there is no such word, I also feel the meaning of the word "wind liu".
