Chapter 62: Murder in the Caravan Accompanying the Army (15)

Among the three shops at the front door, it was very chaotic due to the large number of soldiers pouring in at the same time.

The grocery store had just opened its doors to welcome customers, and before the gang thugs in the store were in place to prevent pickpockets and thieves, the soldiers knocked out the store clerks who were blocking the way and directly overwhelmed the store stewards who were trying to escape.

The soldiers acted rudely and quickly. When they rushed into the store, they didn't care how many products they knocked over on the shelves. They just kidnapped people.

The pub has been open all night, and there are still some drunkards in the shop at this time. Facing the influx of local soldiers, the waiters and bartenders in the tavern immediately felt something was wrong. They picked up the things at hand and threw them at the soldiers. They also kicked the drunken old drinkers to cause trouble.

The person who dared to drink in Yi Si Dao Tou Gang's lair tavern was naturally not a fish belly. Although he drank too much, after being kicked down in the chaos, he immediately pulled out the dick from his waist and cursed. Seeing the soldiers rushing towards them, these drunkards thought that the soldiers had knocked them over. No matter why there were so many soldiers in the tavern, they took out their daggers and knives and stabbed the soldiers.

Facing these drunkards, the soldiers were not easy to mess with. They immediately sent out manpower to fight with these drunkards. The remaining people rushed into the tavern to capture the waiters and bartenders.

The most crowded place in the early morning is the casino. Gamblers after a bad night of gambling are in an excited state with dry throats and red eyes. Casino gang members like gamblers in this state the most. They seem to be very excited, but in fact they are already excited. He has lost his normal ability to judge.

Regardless of the probability of winning at this time, gamblers in this state only have the fantasy of winning in their own minds. The only thing that can restrain these gamblers from falling further into the 'abyss' is how much property they have left at this time.

Since before dawn, the few stewards of the gang in the casino who are responsible for lending have been very happy. The rolled-up pledge scrolls with bloody fingerprints were proudly tucked into their chests and clothes.

Looking at the bastards who excitedly rushed to the gambling table after getting a large sum of copper coins and iron coins, these young stewards took the ale carefully and respectfully handed over by the thugs who maintained order in the casino in the corner of the casino, and clinked glasses with each other proudly. Then they compared their respective 'harvests' tonight as if to show off.

"Hmph, Patrick from Cuckoo Street has just pledged 30% of his income for the next quarter. Just to exchange it for twenty silver coins on the spot? Haha." A skinny steward said mockingly, not knowing how to mock. What made Patrick act so unwise was the fact that Patrick, who was well-dressed and rich, had only about seventy silver coins in a quarter.

And he just whispered a few words in his ear, and he could bring in twenty silver coins to the casino and the gangs above.

That's right, how could Patrick take away the twenty silver coins pledged on the spot? Of course, all of them were left on the gambling table.

Not to mention the young bankers who have been specially trained by the gang boss to be good at gambling, but the bad gamblers are all in high spirits at this time. How can they judge who among the people gambling on the table at this time? A few percent of them are people specially arranged by the casino.

Thirty percent? half?

Wrong, specifically targeting those guys who have pledged their property. Ninety percent of the punters at the table with them are the casino's own people who are specifically trying to stop them.

The other gamblers who wanted to place bets were either given a glass of ale for no apparent reason and sat aside to drink, or the thugs pretended to be watching the fun and were squeezed away by their strong bodies.

Next to him, another fatter casino manager licked the corner of his mouth obscenely and took out a rolled up piece of paper from his arms as if to show off. He proudly knocked the rotten teeth in his mouth a few times and shook the things in his hands to his companions.

"That's nothing, look at this. Vidocq, the old guy who sells dried flower tea on the main street, hum hum hum, just pressed his daughter on top of this."

He shook the thing very proudly, letting the pledge document attract all the envious eyes of his companions: "How is that girl? Do I need to say more? She smiles like the most beautiful flower on the grassland. Tonight I can go to his house and talk to Vidoc, who is a little more awake, without having to wait for the girl's man to come back from the service! I can completely help their family and do a 'job' of taking care of his daughter. .Hahahahaha.”

After saying that, the fat little steward shook his waist and hips obscenely.

But before he could be proud for a long time, another casino steward next to him reached out and slapped the man on the shiny head: "You##x-on:#, you know this, let me tell you, I want to To climb up in our gang, you have to pay attention to the preferences of your superiors."

The fat steward, who was rubbing his hair, seemed a little reluctant: "What should I say?"

The little steward who slapped him on the head made a gesture of holding something between his fingers: "Of course this kind of good thing has to come before us. You have tasted the things from the casino yourself. Who will see that girl in the future?" Come on, knowing that you slept with someone else first, are you still alive?"

With that said, the man slapped the fat steward again: "Don't turn a good thing into a bad thing, or a bad thing into something fatal."

The wretched fat steward is not stupid. He immediately knew that this kind of thing is different from money. It's okay for them to be a little greedy with money. No one is supervising them anyway, but people can talk. If that beautiful girl is seen by the superiors later Well, it would be bad if he said he slept with her too.

In an instant, the fat steward put the fatal pledge documents into his clothes, pursed his lips tightly and stopped snarling.

The steward who slapped people was the proudest. He looked at his other companions and then showed off his gains.

He raised his chin: "Look at this, hum, don't just stare at those superficial things, you have to have a pair of deep eyes."

"Why are you copying the leader's words?"

"Shut up, don't think that some rotten gamblers who are poor and have only one rotten house can't squeeze out anything anymore. You have to look carefully with your eyes, listen carefully with your ears, and think carefully with your brain. Although Yilincha's family is full of We were defeated by this generation, but our fathers were warriors who returned home with the lord.”

The little steward licked his lips: "I asked a little leader to sneak into his house and have a look. Unexpectedly, Yilin, who seemed to have only a piece of skin left, found out that there was a pair of armor that his father had worn. ! If no one in the town dared to accept this armor, I guess this thing would have been sold by that guy for money."

"Now, that thing belongs to our gang. Even though it is just a piece of armor, I heard that it is made of monster materials in the sea of ​​​​grass, and its value is far beyond ordinary. At least that's what the little leader who has seen the armor said. .”

But just as a few casino stewards were talking, a sound of running came from far and near.

With a bang, the tightly closed door of the casino flew backwards, knocking over a gaming table.

The gambling money on the cards was scattered all over the floor. The young man sitting at the bank got up and took out the dagger from his back. The gamblers didn't care about anything else and just took advantage of the chaos to pick up coins on the ground.

No one in the casino paid attention to these people. Everyone turned their heads to the casino gate, and then they saw the most unexpected person.

Local knight lord: Knight Rusvis-Anvina.

This knight wore a tall and thick knight's steel armor that most people had never seen before. His huge body even made people doubt whether the opponent could pass through the smashed door, because the knight's body was wide and tall.

But they didn't need to worry about this soon, because the Knight of Anwena strode directly into the casino, and the edge of the relatively wide door was directly smashed by the knight and broke in.

The Avina Knight did not close the visor of his helmet, just to let these garbage people see who was cleaning these guys.

"Everyone stay where you are." Knight Anvina lowered his voice, but the still loud voice echoed repeatedly in the spacious casino.

However, the knight's words seemed to open up the people who were frightened on the spot. There was a burst of chaos, and everyone started to move.

Although the thugs were frightened, they still took out the sticks from their waists to maintain order in the casino. Some people felt that it was not enough, so they turned over the chairs and pulled out daggers, daggers and other sharp blades from under the wooden chairs.

The gamblers were frightened, but they didn't run away immediately. After all, there were only two doors at the front and back of the casino, so they had no place to run. As a result, the order at the gambling table disappeared immediately. These bad gamblers immediately wanted to take back the gambling money they had placed on the gambling table, regardless of the soldiers who rushed in and the thugs who resisted tenaciously.

Other members of the Yisi Blade Gang rushed towards the back door of the Super Casino without caring about anything else.

However, the Knight of Avina didn't want these people to run away. He strode past the thugs and the gaming tables and chairs blocking the way, and arrived at the back entrance of the casino with surprising speed, completely blocking the escape route here.

The soldiers pulled out their swords and ropes and started fighting with a large number of thugs directly in front of the casino. The soldiers strived to capture them alive, so the ropes were tied with slip knots, just like lassoing horses. When the two parties were fighting, they would fly out from behind the soldiers, directly lasso the thugs' arms or heads and necks, and then press down and pull. The stubborn thugs were defeated.

At the back door, everyone rushed towards the Anvina knights who were blocking the road. At this time, these people no longer had any thoughts about strength and status. They just wanted to escape from here, and then escape from Grass Rat Town and run to other places on the same trade road. Villages and towns sought refuge from the limelight.

But Knight Anvina just placed the giant ax in his hand horizontally, and then pushed forward. With a rumble, dozens of casino staff were pushed down by him so easily.

But there are still people who want to escape. The fat steward knows that if he is caught later, the pledge document on him will harm him. It is still on the ground, and his name is also on the document.

So he twisted his body, trying to squeeze through the knight's crotch.

As long as it can pass, the scene that I can't even dream of in this nightmare should be gone, right?

Right?

After all, he knew how many bad things he had done. Several girls who were imprisoned and humiliated in the house in the back yard were all sold by his family members who were deeply involved in gambling.

But this guy's idea didn't succeed. How could Knight Anvina not notice someone trying to get under his crotch? He just slightly misplaced his foot, hooked and flicked back with his metal combat boots, and the lower body was kicked to the others with blood on it.

When metal combat boots hook people, they are neither light nor heavy.

But the Knight of Anvina underestimated these people's desire to run away. Immediately, someone pulled out a dagger from under the seemingly ordinary wooden chair and table and rushed towards the knight.

However, the ground was full of guys who wanted to stand up again after falling. This thin guy with a short sword in his hand thought that these people were in the way, so he immediately stabbed his original partner who was blocking the way in front of him: "Don't block the way! !!Ouch!!”

Facing such a crazy guy, Knight Anvina just snorted softly, let go of the heavy ax he was holding in his left hand, and let the fallen ax happen to be blocked between his legs. Then he just stretched forward and grabbed it. , just like picking up a long-eared rabbit, he picked up the thin casino steward from his waist.

The emaciated guy who found himself captured like this was frightened out of his mind. The bloody dagger in his hand slashed wildly at the knight's wrist and arm, but such a weak slash only produced a crisp clanking sound.

He couldn't even leave a white mark on the steel armor.

Knight Anvina looked around at the people in front of him who were gradually standing up. Everyone who looked at him had their teeth chattering in fear and stepped back unconsciously.

But the remaining people still shook their heads and wanted to escape.

"It seems I have to teach you a lesson." The knight said loudly.

He directly used the giant ax held in his right hand to grab the man's waist with his left hand and gestured. Then, when the captured man screamed like a slaughtered pig, the knight just swung the giant ax in his right hand, There was a pop, flesh and blood splattered, and intestines flowed.

The man who was caught was broken in two at the waist.

"Ahhhh!!"

"No, don't kill me."

"Sir, I surrender, don't kill me!"

The effect was immediate. In an instant, half of the guys were sitting on the ground, making a wise decision between death if they ran away and death if they didn't run.

Knight Anvina, who was about to say something, suddenly turned around and looked at the back door of the casino that he had blocked.

As a result, several gang thugs with messy clothes and weapons in their hands rushed in.

This group of people woke up in a panic and didn't pay attention to who was blocking the back door of the casino. They didn't even realize that the person blocking the back door was a tall knight in armor, and they actually kicked the knight in the back. He kicked several times.

Only after Knight Anvena turned around did these young men realize what they had done.

Roar!

Knight Anvina directly threw the half of his lower body held in his left hand towards the back door. The half body with blood and intestines flowing directly hit several people. The thugs opened their mouths when they saw the intestines and kidneys thrown to their faces. The boss screamed and fainted from fear.

Knight Anvina reached out to fish it out again, grabbed the upper body of the thin steward who was still half breathing, and then continued to throw it towards the back door.

However, this attack was luckily avoided by the frightened thug who rushed forward. However, the half of his body still broke open the originally closed window at the back door and fell into the yard behind.

The half-length guy gasped for air with his eyes wide open, and it took a while before he died.

Before he died, he still took out the pledge document from his shirt, just to be seen, and then let his other companions suffer the same fate as him.

-

Kil's prediction was wrong. He thought that the roof of the opposite gang's house could support his weight, but in fact it was OK to walk on the roof, but not able to withstand jumping.

There was a loud noise, and when Kil fell, he smashed through the roof of the house, and then landed in the middle of the house.

Fortunately, he deliberately adjusted his position when he fell, so that when Keir landed in the house, he landed on his legs.

There was a roaring sound, and thatch and wood chips fell to the ground in a mess from around him. Kil glanced around and realized that he was in a not very spacious room at this time.

There was only a bed, a wooden table and multiple hangers with various clothes hanging around.

Zambirus was lucky. When he fell with Kil, he landed directly on the wooden bed. Although the wooden bed collapsed with a roar, he was not injured.

"How is it?" Kil asked.

Zambirus rubbed his butt: "It's okay." After saying that, he took out the long sword from his waist.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the house was opened from the outside. A short young man looked at the two of them in the house in surprise.

"Who?" Although he said someone, the young man showed no intention of asking questions in his hand. He just touched it on his waist and took out a curved-edged dagger.

The edge of the dagger shone brightly, obviously very sharp.

But a dagger is a dagger. Zambirus, who had a wooden bed close to the door, didn't think anything of it. He straightened up his sword and stabbed him. The long sword three times the length of the opponent's weapon stabbed him instantly.

But the young man reacted quickly. When Zambirus raised his sword, he realized Zambirus's next move, so he took a step back from the door and opened it with his other free hand. The wooden door closed smoothly.

With a trembling sound, the long sword stabbed hard on the wooden door. Before Zambirus could swing the long sword left and right to pull out the weapon, the closed wooden door reopened.

Zambirus, who was holding the hilt of the long sword, had to be carried by the long sword nailed to the wooden door and fell towards the wall.

At the same time, a flash of white light flashed, which was the reflection of the curved-edged dagger held in the young man's other hand.

The early morning sunlight that shines through the hole in the head scatters in, illuminating the house fairly brightly.

However, in times of crisis, Kiel was not a fool to stay still. Before he could draw out his long sword, Kiel touched his right hand on his waist, and the steel dagger that had been with him for a long time collided with the opponent's curved-edged dagger midway.

Dang, chime——

The two daggers intersected and made a crisp, high-frequency sound.

Then the opponent's wrist turned, and the curved edge of the dagger was directed towards Kil's wrist.

But Kiel just flew up and kicked the opponent hard.

The young man took a half-step diagonally to get out of the way of Kiel's heavy kick, and kept moving his hands.

But the attack that cut off the tendon in Kiel's right hand didn't work.

Because Kil has always been wearing a full-coverage armor made of hard cowhide. Full coverage, naturally the wrists are also protected by armor.

No matter how sharp the young man's curved-edged dagger was, it would still be difficult for a short weapon without charge to penetrate the hardened cowhide. Only a shallow cut was left on the arm guard at the wrist.
