Chapter 364: The Road to Expedition: Master, Is This Possible?
Gwalin Oxfield has always had good luck, but not every Dark Eldar child who was fished out of the fast-growing culture tube by bloody people and then thrown into a dark alley in Gomo has the same luck. Climb out of the opportunity, leave the dark streets of Gomo, leave those places full of danger and death.
But Gwalin did it. With cunning, lies and the betrayal that Gemo never lacks, plus a little luck that always plays a role at the critical moment, Gwalin climbed out of those damn alleys, Climb aboard the pirate ship of the Marauder warband and plunder wealth across the galaxy.
Gwalin has always been very confident in his luck. Even if he joined a pirate gang, he could always rely on his good luck and tact to survive in this ghost place full of danger and intrigue. In the end, he accumulated a lot of money for himself. A nice fortune.
But now, Gwalin feels that his luck has finally run out, or that luck still plays a role. After all, he was not killed by the terrible blood lady. At the last moment, someone seemed to want to see him, He was able to save a small life.
Gwalin is confident that he can once again use his glib tongue and cunning eloquence to win his own life. He will leave here, but he may need to spend more time and worry before that.
Gwarin was kneeling on the ground, his hands were tied together and pressed to the ground. His knees hurt from the heavy knocks on the ground from the two humans wearing armor behind him.
But Gwalin held back. He looked at the human soldiers surrounding him. Some of them had their arms folded, and some were standing behind and on both sides of him with guns in hand. He couldn't complain now, at all. No, he didn't want to anger these people who might blow his mind at any time.
Not to mention the woman walking by him. The silver-haired woman casually placed the long knife in front of Gwalin. This made the Eldar boy immediately turn his eyes to the front and saw the blade lying in front of him, as well as the sword in front of him. A man sits behind the blade.
He was dressed in black, with only a white shirt on his chest, embellishment of the darkness, like a stranded killer whale, but Gwarin knew that he was definitely much scarier than the killer whale, because the reason was simple. The scary woman who had killed all the pirates and captains he knew, and who couldn't even breathe, walked up to him with a knife, knelt down and kissed him on the face.
"Okay, I've brought the person you want." The Blood Queen kissed the man's face. Her red lips were redder than before. The reason was very simple. They were covered with blood at the moment. In fact, she There was a lot of blood on her entire face, which made her worthy of being called the Queen of Blood.
The silver-haired woman smiled and touched the man's face gently with her fingers, and then leaned against the plundering longship behind the man with a long knife.
Gwalin looked at the woman who was covered in the blood of his fellow pirates, and his whole body trembled involuntarily, but he still forced out a flattering smile and looked at the man sitting on a box.
"Hello, sir, I believe there is no need for us to get angry. We are civilized people, aren't we? I believe we can reach a consensus." Gwalin's face was filled with a flattering smile, and his voice was humble and full of surrender. , leaving you with no doubt that the kneeling Eldar pirate in front of you has any ill intentions toward you.
But the man laughed. He lowered his body slightly and got closer to Gwalin's face. His black eyes stared at the gray eyes of the Eldar in front of him. "Maybe, time will give us the answer, and we won't be kept waiting too long. I What about you?"
"Gwalin, Gwalin. Oxfield, just call me Gwalin, sir." The Eldar's voice trembled, and he accidentally saw the silver-haired lady behind the man. She raised her hand to look at her. He looked at the blood red on his nails, as if he was very satisfied with the color of his nails.
But that's not the key, it's because she smiled and shook her nails at herself, as if she wanted to see what color Gwalin's blood would be.
The man looked at Gwalin's wide eyes and smiled. He patted his shoulder gently, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Gwalin. My name is Vito Constantine. I believe we will have a great chat." happy."
Vito glanced at Lilith behind him with a smile, looked at her charming but scary smile and then turned back to Gwalin, "Don't worry about her, you have nothing to be afraid of, as long as you can answer my questions and give me some advice." My satisfactory answer is that I will let you go safely without having to do the same thing as your colleagues, no, sorry, your former colleagues."
He turned his head slightly as he spoke and looked at the open space to one side. Gwalin also looked over subconsciously. He immediately saw the Sun Auxiliary Army carrying corpses beside them. They piled the Eldar corpses one after another. Together, it's like a small hill.
Gwalin swallowed nervously, but he still smiled and nodded to Vito quite calmly, "I assure you, sir, I, I know a lot of things, and I believe we will be satisfied with the rest of the conversation."
"Maybe, like I said, time will give us the answer soon, but before that, I have to remind you Mr. Gwalin, you'd better not have any unwise plans, otherwise, the beautiful lady behind me , it will be very unpleasant.”
Vito said with a smile, and Lilith drew the long knife just in time. She gently pressed the back of the knife against her palm and looked at the blade dripping with blood with a smile on her face.
Vito smiled and moved closer to Gwalin's face. He spoke softly in front of him, and the heat in the air filled the bridge of Gwalin's nose with those words.
"Believe me, you don't want to know what it's like for her to be unhappy, and neither do the gentlemen and ladies behind you."
Vito looked over Gvarin's head and looked at the people behind him. Gvarin also turned to look at the Sun Army soldiers surrounding him. Andre stood behind him with his arms clasped in his arms, with a blaster hanging on his waist. On the side of the leg, you can make a hole in the back of Gwalin's head anytime and anywhere.
Beside him, Peter put his helmet under his arm. He stood in front of the Sun Army soldiers who were surrounding him in a circle. His hand still held the butt of the gun, and his fingers gently closed the bolt ring. Gwalin Seeing that action, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly and nodded to Vito.
"Of course not, sir. I'll answer all your questions."
He stuttered slightly, and Vito smiled with satisfaction. After patting Gwalin's shoulder, he sat up. He looked down at the Eldar kneeling in front of him, with a smile on his face, "Very good. But from now on, I will ask you something and you will answer something. I don’t want to hear answers that have nothing to do with my question.”
Gwarin nodded repeatedly and lowered his head humbly. Vito looked at the cunning guy in front of him and smiled coldly, put one hand on one of his legs and said, "My first question, Did you come here after seeing the signal for help?"
"Yes, sir, we saw a distress signal on the signal terminal. We have been looking for this ship for a while."
"Oh? Are you looking for this boat? Is this boat yours?"
"No, no, sir, these people are not in the same group as us. In fact, they are from the enemy camp. We are the Valkhak gang and they are the Stulin gang. Ah, these two names are ours. The boss’s name is stupid, isn’t it?”
Gwalin smiled ingratiatingly, while Vito looked at him with a sneer. He gently pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, "Did I tell you, Mr. Gwalin, I don't want to hear that I didn't The question I asked was, where did your gang get its name?”
"No, no, no, sir, I'm sorry, I'll pay attention, I promise!"
"I believe you will, Mr. Gwarin. Now continue to listen. I'm curious, what are you doing here? Rescue? Or take advantage of the situation? I guess it's the latter, right?"
Vito said and let go of his hand on the hilt of the sword, which made Gwalin breathe a sigh of relief. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, sir, we saw the signal for help and came here to get some benefits. You know, pirate stuff, and we've been ordered to look for this ship, and some other ships for a while."
"Why? Why look for these ships?"
"I, I don't know sir, the boss only told the captain, I. I only heard that a big shot asked us to find these ships and bring back the goods on them. We came here just for the goods, and thinking about what would happen. You can take some other good things with you.”
Gwalin said with a wry smile, looking nervously at the heavily armed Sun Army soldiers around him. They were all surrounding behind Gwalin, like a high wall surrounding them. Valin felt nervous eyes staring at him.
"Then you came to the wrong place. The ship is empty and all the records have been deleted. It's a pity, isn't it? But that's not entirely the case. At least you returned home with a full load."
Vito said and looked to the distance. The slaves who had been rescued from the ship were being examined and treated by medical soldiers at the edge of the forest in the distance. Yeta was in charge of everything. The little girl with a ponytail took the He was holding the data tablet and discussing something with the medical squad leader on the side.
She was very responsible and careful. After confirming all the details, she handed the data pad to the squad leader, who then turned to look after the wounded. Yeta also knelt down and personally helped a girl who was whipped on the arm. A bandage was put on the cracked hand.
Vito looked at Yeta and smiled, then looked at Gwalin in front of him, "My second question, these slaves, the young lady who was whipped by you told me that you got them from a group of human pirates. ?"
"You'd better tell the truth, Mr. Gwalin, because you see, I'm a sweetheart, and you let a beautiful lady get whipped to a bruise and almost to death, so I'm not very happy about it, these gentlemen behind you. And the ladies, too, were not very happy.”
As Vito said, Gwalin heard the sound of the blaster being loaded above him. He trembled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right, sir. I, we bought them from a group of pirates, using a boat, from Supplies stolen from a certain rogue trader's ship, refined iron nails or nebula ingots."
"Slaves bought from human pirates? How interesting. This is the first time I've heard of Dark Eldar pirates acquiring slaves like this."
"Wow, you see, we can only plunder one, or at most three, worlds at a time, and there is also the risk of encountering the human navy, guard troops and even those tin cans. That is too dangerous, so we found another One way is to use human goods to buy these slaves from human pirates, which is safer."
Gevalin said with a flattering smile, his bound hands gesturing famous numbers below, "We don't have to take risks when human pirates go to plunder slaves, and they can attack more places at a time than us, and they know how to avoid the navy and bribe local officials to avoid disasters."
"In this way, we can buy more slaves and bring them back to Comoros. We just need to attack and rob human transport fleets. These fleets usually have fewer escorts than planets. We take the goods and sell them to pirates. Then they hand over the slaves to us, one ship after another. From the final profit, this is more profitable."
"You are quite smart, business is good." Vito smiled and sat up with his arms folded. He looked down at Gevalin in front of him, and the latter also smiled at Vito in a very flattering way, and the latter also smiled coldly.
"I wanted to ask a third question, what other goods do you have on your ship besides slaves, but now it seems that I don't need to ask, you have already exchanged the goods for slaves, and your answer makes me very dissatisfied, Mr. Gwalin, so you are no longer useful to me."
"Kill him."
As Vito said, the Sun Army around him raised their guns one after another, and in a series of dense loading sounds, countless gun muzzles surrounded Gwalin's head, pointing their black muzzles at his head.
"Wait! Wait! I know where to find those goods!" Gwalin squatted on the ground, stood up, raised his hands and waved them in front of him, begging for mercy loudly, Vito hummed with satisfaction, and then raised his hand to signal the Sun Army to stop.
"Don't rush to shoot, let our friend Mr. Gwalin continue to talk, but I must remind you that you have disappointed me once, so this time I won't have much patience." Gwalin looked at Vito who was smiling in front of him and sat up. He raised his tied hands and looked at Vito in front of him, "Our boss, Captain Orxfield, his ship is the largest! It is full of all kinds of goods. I don't know what you want, but I can guarantee that it has everything!" "Oh? Interesting, but there is a small problem. Generally speaking, there are a lot of guards on such ships. Are you setting a trap for me? Mr. Gwalin." Vito smiled and bent down. He approached Gwalin's face through the gaps between countless gun muzzles. "No, no, no! I absolutely dare not. I heard that a big shot is going to meet Orxfield. She asked for strict confidentiality, so no one knows the meeting place, and the number of guards has been reduced to a minimum to avoid leaks."
"And you, my dear friend, you just happen to know that place, right?" Vito asked with a smile, while Gwalin was slightly embarrassed and more nervous. He raised his hand and shrugged and smiled.
"Intelligence is always useful. Knowing more may save your life at some point." "For example, now, tell me the location of the meeting, and then I will let you go."
Gwalin laughed awkwardly, raised his hands and spread them in front of him, "I don't think I can tell you sir."
"Oh? Why? Do you want to die?"
"In fact, I don't want to, but that's why I can't tell you, because if I tell you, I will be useless to you, and my head will explode immediately, right?"
"Is my promise not enough?" Vito asked with a joking smile, while Gwalin smiled awkwardly but politely, and shrugged.
"I don't want to doubt you, sir, but you see, Gomo taught me a lot of things, one of which is not to believe in any promises."
Gevalin smiled at the ground in front of him, he shrugged his shoulders and gestured with his hands in front of him, "I can take you there, you will find the boat, I promise."
Vito laughed softly, he slowly stood up with his legs propped up, "You are a cunning and smart person, Mr. Gevalin, but sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing."
Vito turned his head and looked at Lilith behind him. He put one hand on his waist and pointed at Gevalin behind him with his thumb, "Read his soul memory, just read it out, it doesn't matter if your brain is burned."
"What? Wait! Mr. Vito, you promised!" Gevalin shouted and wanted to stand up, but was pressed to the ground by the two Sun Soldiers behind him. He looked at Lilith who came from Vito's hand with a long knife. When she walked past Vito, she reached out and touched Vito's face, kissed him on the cheek, and then walked over with a smile.
Vito stood behind Lilith with his hands behind his back, looking down at Gwalin. "My original words were, I will let you go after you answer my questions and satisfy me, but you did not satisfy me."
As Vito spoke, Gwalin suddenly turned his head to look at Lilith who was walking in front of him. He tried hard to break free of his arms, but Andre and Peter pressed them to the ground tightly, so all Gwalin could do was to look up at those purple eyes with fear.
"Your soul will definitely be delicious." Lilith whispered in the language of the Eldar, her voice was pleasant and beautiful, like the curtain call at the end of a stage play, his, the curtain call.
Lilith suddenly pressed her palm on Gwalin's face. He looked at Lilith in front of him through the gap between his fingers, and then looked at Vito behind her. Gwalin's eyes widened like light bulbs, and a lot of bloodshot suddenly appeared on the edge of his eyeballs, and he screamed at the same time.
Gevalin's body twitched violently. He knelt in front of Lilith, who grabbed his face tightly with her hands and squeezed her fingers with a smile. Gevalin's face was squeezed by her fingers and blood gushed out of his facial features instantly. He screamed like a slaughtered lamb.
Suddenly, the scream stopped. Lilith pulled back her palm that was splashed with blood from his facial features. She raised her hand and looked at the red palm. Beside her, Gevalin's head was buried down. The whole person was limp and was carried by the Sun Army. A large piece of blood flowed on his drooping face. The blood dripped on the ground like a waterfall, turning the place where Gevalin knelt into a pool of blood.
Andre, who was holding his arm, looked at the blood pool spreading under his feet and trembled with fear. He raised his head and looked at Lilith, who was smiling and seemed to be happy. He and several young Sun Army soldiers around him were frightened. Even Peter and the old guys couldn't help but frowned.
But it was obvious that Lilith didn't care at all. She raised her bloody hand and walked to Vito's side. The latter looked at the limp Gwalin in front of him with his hands on his back, "Did you read out the memory?"
"Yes, all of it. There are still many of his previous memories, but that's insignificant. The key is that I know where that place is." Lilith smiled and shook her hand, splashing all the blood on her hand onto the ground. The drops of blood spread on the ground like a bloody road.
"Very good, where is the big shot? Did you find anything?" Vito asked with one hand behind his back, and took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her with the other hand. Lilith took the handkerchief with a smile, wiped the blood off her palm, and glanced at the dead Gwalin.
"No, our friends who know a lot of news don't know about this, but from the conversations of the pirates in my memory, it should be a big shot in Gomor. The woman is said to be pretty, but quite dangerous."
"Have you thought of anyone?" Lilith wiped the blood on her hands, smiled charmingly and turned her head to look at Vito, who smiled silently, raised his hand and looked at Andre who was a little dazed in front of him.
"Tow a loot speeder back, I need a ride to meet an old friend."
"This game is getting more and more interesting."
