Lord Highlander

  Chapter 957 943. The night watchman in the town

  …

  Lord McDonnell's manor was in a mess. The manor guards kept running back to the manor like a swarm of headless flies, and then entered the mountains from the manor to search for the whereabouts of the lord.

  Two cavalry battalions of 500 men and an infantry battalion of 1,500 men arrived outside the manor just as it was getting dark, and began to search the forest.

  The black mages also flew in the night sky on magic scorpions. They kept firing low-light flares into the sky to provide as much light as possible for the ground troops.

  But the assault team had already led Lord MacDonnell along the river and stream path around the forest, approaching the small town where they came from.

  In the debate between Chester Great Swordsman and Quintus Great Swordsman, Quintas finally decided to respect Chester's opinion, after all, his plan is more secure.

Moreover, Lord MacDonnell is more difficult to deal with than he imagined. His legs, arms, and swords were chopped off by the great swordsman Quintus, and the chain bones were also cut off. However, Lord MacDonnell has half a sentence of useful information. Nothing was revealed.

  The great swordsman Quintus felt that he needed someone from the Bena City Intelligence Office who specialized in torture to interrogate Lord MacDonnell, and maybe he could get some useful information.

  So after dinner, the assault team only rested for a short hour, then immediately dismantled the temporary tent, and left the forest area overnight.

When 2,500 soldiers from the Knight Battalion and Infantry Battalion from Mucuso City came to carry out a carpet search, the assault team had already walked out of the mountain and dispersed into four groups into the outskirts of the city. in the town.

  …

  Suldak took Samira and Siya with him, but the target of the two-headed ogre was too eye-catching.

  So the four of them couldn't stay in the hotel as an adventure group, so they could only find a house in the town that seemed fairly secluded.

   Coincidentally, there is only one night watchman who lives alone in this house.

  When Suldak and Gulitham walked into the yard, the night watchman had already put on his overcoat, with a lantern in his hand, and was about to open the door to the street and start his night work.

When he saw a two-headed ogre standing in front of him, he frightened him away. Of course, Suldak would not let him be in a coma for too long. Tears and everything flowed out.

  The living room of the room seemed very small. Suerdak threw a set of tea sets on the wooden table to the ground and smashed them to pieces.

  A dagger and a gold coin were placed on the table in front of the owner of the house, and he was asked to do a seemingly simple multiple-choice question.

  The owner of this room hardly hesitated, picked up the gold coin very wisely, stuffed the gold coin into his mouth and bit it hard, and then quickly counted the gold coin into the pocket next to his crotch.

   "Are you the rebels from the lower forest farm?" the night watchman guessed.

  Suldak sat across from him noncommittally, staring at the night watchman.

  The night watchman gritted his teeth, rolled up a blanket and a leather mattress, got into the storage room, and re-covered the storage room entrance.

  According to the agreement with Suldak, the Suldak team will leave here tomorrow morning, and the night watchmen will be free again.

  Although he is very likely to lose his job as the night watchman in the town, with this gold coin, he can probably live comfortably for more than half a year. During this period, he can not work...

  Although the house is small, the facilities are quite complete.

  When Suldak decided to stay here for one night, Sia had already got into the simple bathroom and began to replenish himself with water...

Samira took the initiative to go up to the roof. There was no attic in this house, so she was half lying on the rubble. Fortunately, it happened to be summer in the dry cloth plane. As long as a leather mattress was laid under her body, lying on the roof would be quite comfortable. of.

  Gulitham was sitting on the carpet in the living room. He needed a good meal to replenish his energy.

  Suldak looked at the dilapidated house. There was almost nothing in the room except a sofa, a fireplace, and a blackened iron pot.

However, Suldak has no shortage of supplies. He dug out some scones and two boxes of canned luncheon meat from his magic backpack, took out his own iron pot, boiled a pot of water in the fireplace, and cooked a meal for the ogre supper.

   "We just need to wait here until dawn, and then go to Chester Great Swordsman to join them, and then we can leave the Ganbu plane."

  Suldak took a bite of the wheat cake and said enthusiastically to the ogre.

   "What about the devil's gate in the magic tower over the manor?" the ogre asked seriously.

   "It is estimated that after returning to Bena City, the House of Representatives will make a decision..." Suldak said.

At night, Suldak was lying on the sofa in the living room, and Gullitum, who was lying on the carpet, was snoring loudly. The cabbage was showing blood, and the mouth kept opening and closing...

  Breakfast is scone porridge mixed with lunch meat leftover from last night.

   Then he opened the underground storage room, and saw the night watchman lying on the wolf fur mattress, still sound asleep...

Probably sensing the light in the storage room, the night watchman dimly opened his eyes, got up from the floor in the storage room, squinted at Suldak at the door of the storage room, and asked Suldak again. road:

   "Are you the rebels in the forest farm?"

  Suldak thought for a while, smiled and said to the night watchman, "That's right!"

   "Then you wait... I can't accept this gold coin. I heard that your funds are very tight. Unfortunately, I don't have any money in my hand, and I am very afraid of death. I can't help you, and I don't want to join you."

  The night watchman sat at the door of the storage room and talked a lot, and finally wanted to return the gold coin to Suldak, which surprised Suldak.

   "You also oppose Lord MacDonnell's rule?" Suldak asked.

"What's the use of objecting, they have already dismantled the portal, completely disassociated themselves from the province of Bena..." The night watchman sighed, and said: "In order to support this battle, everyone has already given away everything that can be valuable. Take it out..."

  Suldak didn't want to talk about this with the night watchman, so he stood at the door of the storage room and said, "After we leave, you'd better stay at home until night before going out!"

  He took two steps forward, then turned and came back.

  The night watchman looked at Suldak nervously.

  Suldak took another gold coin from his pocket, threw it to the ragged night watchman, and said, "I broke your tea set last night, this is your compensation..."

   After speaking, he led the ogre, Samira and Siya out of this remote courtyard.

   "Keep an eye on it, if he runs out to report, shoot him..."

  Suldak whispered to Samira beside him.
