Lord Chronicle

Chapter 251
"When do you start?"

After Kress delivered Norman to the Thieves Guild, Sol and the others began to discuss the next move.

Gein said: "Of course, the sooner the better, it is best to act before Cliff discovers that Norman is missing and becomes suspicious."

Das nodded: "I think so too. The situation is urgent now, and we are taking risks. We really can't delay."

Sol turned his head and glanced at Chip, who said knowingly: "According to the information provided by Norman, Cliff will stay in the Lord's Mansion these days, which is a good opportunity to act."

Saul pondered for a while, and said: "I can't wait, so I will do it tomorrow night."

Then, they discussed the details of the action, and quickly drew up a plan.

Late the next night, Clive's lord's mansion.

Under the dark night sky, Nuo Da's mansion was silent, except for some rooms of the main building that were still lit, the other parts were shrouded in darkness.

However, if you observe carefully, under this silence, there are extremely strict guards.In addition to the meticulous guards standing at the main entrance, there are many guard posts, either open or hidden, in other parts of Nuo Da's lord's mansion. Occasionally, the barking of police dogs can be heard from inside.

These guards and sentries together formed a tight encirclement net, protecting the safety of the Lord's Mansion.If you rush in without knowing it, even Ye Ying will find it difficult to get close.

At this time, on the opposite side of the street on the right side of the Lord's Mansion, at the mouth of a dark alley, a group of mysterious shadows suddenly appeared.

They are naturally Saul and others who came to kidnap Cliff.

After waiting for a while to make sure that no one was coming and going, Sol said to Kip next to him: "Time is running out, let's act according to the original plan. We will take you out after success."

Chip nodded and followed him with a wave, and several night shadows followed him silently towards the lord's mansion.

Since Norman had already learned about the layout of the Lord's Mansion and the status of the guards, Chip and his men were in charge of the operation, while Saul and others were in charge of the response.

This is also a plan discussed in advance by everyone, because tonight's operation is only aimed at Cliff alone, so there is no need for too many people to participate, and only Ye Ying's skills can avoid those sentries, and others will only get in the way That's all.

After Kip and the Yeying members sneaked in, Sol and the others hid in place and waited quietly.This operation is related to whether they can stay in Ferry City safely and carry out the next plan, so everyone is very nervous.

Time passed by, but the entire lord's mansion was still silent, except for the occasional footsteps of patrolling guards coming from behind the wall, there was no more sound.

Chip and the others have been sneaking in for quite a long time, but there is neither any sign of their success nor exposure.These people are like disappearing into the sea, completely without a trace.

This kind of waiting without knowing it at all is the most tormenting, and soon everyone showed anxiety at the same time.The impatient Lesta even wanted to see what happened several times, but Sol pressed him down.

"Why is there still no movement? Are they missing?" After a while, Gein couldn't help but ask.

Sol was also very anxious, but he had great confidence in Chip, so he replied: "What's the hurry, this is kidnapping, do you think you went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables? Don't worry, nothing will happen."

However, having said that, he didn't have the bottom line in his heart.

At this moment, a commotion was suddenly heard from the lord's mansion. Although the sound was not loud, it was quite noticeable in the silent night.

Sol and the others immediately pricked up their ears, trying to figure out what happened inside.

The noise came from the other end of the Lord's Mansion. Due to the distance, it could only be vaguely heard that many people were shouting.But it soon spread throughout the mansion, and even the guard at the door couldn't help but look over.

"No, it seems that something happened to Chip and the others." After listening carefully for a while, Sol's expression changed.

"What? Then hurry up and rescue them." Lesta stood up at once.

Sol shook his head: "No, we are outnumbered. It would be a bad thing to rush in like this. Let's retreat quickly, Chip and the others will find a way to get out."

Das said in surprise, "If that's the case, don't think of Cliff again in the future."

Walsa said anxiously: "I'm still thinking about this at any time, so let's go."

Gein grabbed Walsa and said to Saul, "If we run away like this, we really have no chance. If you want me to say, why don't the people inside react and go to meet Qi? Push them and snatch Cliff out."

Kress also said: "Yes, my lord, if we retreat at this time, we will have to flee back to Lovell. Since tonight's action is an adventure, why not do it again."

The two completely different opinions made Saul quite hesitant.Leaving now would naturally be the wisest choice, but he would forever lose his chance to gain a foothold in Ferry City.

If they take the risk, it would be great to succeed, but if they fail, they may lose even the chance to leave Ferry City.

However, the situation is critical at this moment, and Soldoga cannot allow him to weigh the pros and cons. Whether to leave or stay, he must make a decision in the shortest possible time.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sol gritted his teeth for a moment, and slammed on the wall beside him: "It doesn't matter that much, act according to the original plan."

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***********************
No one expressed any objection, Lesta gave Sol a thumbs up, then picked up the axe, and led a dozen guards to the main entrance of the Lord's Mansion swaggeringly.

Here, Thor winked at Walsa, and Walsa understood, quickly chanted a spell to prepare a spell, and then cast it.

Soon, a muffled thunder-like sound was heard from mid-air, followed by five fireballs falling straight down like meteors, crashing into the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion.

Boom boom boom... There were several loud noises in a row, and five flames shot up into the sky, immediately lighting up the surrounding area, and everyone's exclamations came from the courtyard.

After successfully creating chaos, Thor yelled "Come on", rushed across the street, and climbed towards the wall of the Lord's Mansion.

With the help of the guards, he successfully climbed to the top of the wall. Sol squatted and looked around, and saw that the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion was in chaos. The flames ignited by the five fireballs were burning fiercely, devouring the nearby vegetation.

In the yard, many figures were shouting loudly, running around in vain, while the main building of the Lord's Mansion was still in the dark, without any response.

Sol knew that he had to be quick now, and they took advantage of each other's unpreparedness and successfully created chaos.But this advantage is only temporary. Once the opponent reacts, or Lulin's city defense army arrives after hearing the news, their team of only more than 30 people will be in great trouble.

Just when Sol was in a daze, he suddenly heard a slight whistling sound in the air. Before he could react, a large sword suddenly lay across in front of him. After a single spark splashed out from the sword body, it flew away.

"My lord, it's very dangerous to squat here and be lost in thought." Kress, who stretched out his sword to block the crossbow arrows for him, said, and then jumped down.

Immediately afterwards, Gein, who had climbed up the wall, teased, "You are really calm." Then, he also flew down.

Sol was very embarrassed, he muttered something, followed by the wall and jumped into the yard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the ground, a guard from the opposite side swung his sword and slashed at him: "Who are you?"

Sol was startled, and at this moment, a man jumped down beside him, followed the sword in his hand around the body of the guard's sword, and stabbed into the guard's throat while swinging the sword.

Thor took a closer look, but it was Darth.

The third prince also seemed to be very proud of this sword, he fluffed his hair coquettishly: "You don't need to thank me."

"I never thought about it..."

But now is not the time to bicker, and Sol doesn't want to become a superfluous person. He took a deep breath, and raised his hand to summon the snake demon.

With Xiaomei at his side, Sol immediately became more confident. Under her protection, he ran towards the lord's mansion. He had to find Chip and the others as soon as possible.

Many guards of the Lord's Mansion had already noticed the group of intruders. However, because the courtyard was full of flames and chaos, and Lesta and others restrained the main entrance, not many came over.

What's more, although there are few people on Sol's side, they are all powerful masters. Ordinary guards are no match.Especially Kress, wielding an iron lump, there is almost no match.

Therefore, although they only had a dozen or so people, they were advancing like a bamboo, advancing extremely fast.

Now to grab is the time!time!time!The enemy must never be brought back to his senses.

With two slaps, Xiaomei's snake tail flicked, and the two guards flew out. Then she took out the bone bow, and shot an arrow, piercing through a person who was trying to attack Gein with a crossbow in the distance.

"Kress, you take a few people to stay here to block them, and the others follow me to the house." Sol said loudly.

Kress nodded silently, and the iron lump in his hand flew like the wind. Several guards who got close immediately fell down with blood splashing, scaring the others to retreat quickly.

Some of the defenders leaned over to Kress to help him fend off the enemy.I heard Gein say: "I'll stay too, you guys go find Cliff quickly."

Sol hummed, and turned around and ran towards the main house with the others. At this moment, Lesta's heroic laughter came from the main entrance in the distance: "Hahaha, go away if you don't want to die!"

At the same time, some guards exclaimed: "Who are these guys?"

Sol had an idea, and immediately let go of his voice and yelled: "Cliff, you betrayed your motherland and defected to the enemy, which is a disgrace to us Dinar people. Today, we go to the death group to clean up the traitors for the motherland!"

"What, go to the death group?"

"Is it the dead group that captured Diviji Castle?"

The guards who heard Thor's yelling immediately began to discuss in a low voice in horror.

In the beginning, Sol used the name of the Death Squad to plunder the Southern Avenue, and finally successfully captured the Diviji Castle, which has long been famous.

Now, showing this name again immediately caused a commotion among the guards of the Lord's Mansion.

Das and Gein are both human beings, and they didn't understand what he meant when they heard the words, they immediately shouted in cooperation: "Tonight our goal in the death group is only Cliff, those who don't want to die, get out of here !"

"Captain of the first division, you lead 100 people to the left, and you will kill anyone who stands in your way."

"Second Division Captain, you take 200 people to the gate."

"Captain three, you lead 50 people to set fire."

……

For a time, such shouts came and went.

Although Sol and the others only had about thirty people, they were aggressive and invincible. In addition, Walsa threw a fireball from time to time, causing thick smoke to billow in the yard and chaos.Such a bluff really frightened many guards.

The death group is an old organization that Lesta has always missed. Hearing it being mentioned again now, he immediately became very proud, and there were many screams from the guards at the main gate.

I heard Lesta laughing over there and said: "Yes, I remember everything, we are going to die. Tonight we have a total of several thousand people. Even if the city defense army comes, I will not be afraid."

Everyone couldn't help being stunned: Brother, it's too exaggerated...

But when the goal was achieved, they couldn't control so much. When the guards were in a panic, everyone immediately ran to the main house of the lord's mansion.

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** *************************
Cliff's mansion is a huge three-storey building. Sol didn't realize how huge it was until he got close. It was indeed not comparable to his small nest.Therefore, even though there is no one to stop them, everyone feels helpless.

Looking up at this castle-like house, Saul couldn't help but think to himself, after returning, it's time to expand Lao Tzu's kennel.Among other things, if this situation also happens, I don't know how much time I can buy.

It's only been less than 10 minutes since he scored, but for Saul, a lot of precious time has been spent.Seeing that many guards started to put out the fire and besieged the intruding guards, he felt the urgency of time all the more.

If you can't make a quick decision, it will be too late when the city defense team arrives.

He was about to order to rush in first, but Das suddenly pointed to the left and said, "Look over there."

Sol turned his head and saw a door on the left side of the house in the distance, surrounded by many guards, as if they were trying to rush in.However, there was something inside the door. From time to time, a guard rushing to the door screamed and fell to the ground.

Needless to say, Chip and the others must be over there.

Sol thought for a while, and said to Dass: "Dass, you take a few people to set fire, the bigger the better, I will take others to meet them."

Das nodded, immediately ordered several guards, smashed the windows on the first floor, and jumped into the house.

This time they had lots of beads invented by Mary, the best kind of fire.Sure enough, within a short while, from the room Darth and the others entered, raging flames burned and spread rapidly.

Sol took the opportunity to rush over there with people, and the house suddenly caught fire, and the guards were a little flustered, and the wolf-like guards slashed from behind, and immediately dispersed them.

"Chip, is that you?" Saul called into the room.

"My lord." Chip's figure appeared by the door, his expression remained the same, but the left hand hanging by his side was dripping with blood, obviously injured.

"How are you? What about the others?" Saul asked quickly.

Chip turned sideways, beckoning him to come in, and said at the same time: "We were all injured, which affected our actions to some extent."

"What happened and how was it discovered?" Saul asked as he walked into the house.

It was a storeroom-like room, not too big, with only one door to the outside, and no windows or anything, so Chip and the others were able to hold on to prevent the guards from rushing in.

Several Yeying team members who sneaked in with Chip were there, but everyone was injured, and one of them had a particularly serious leg injury. He could hardly stand up and could only lean on a pile of boxes.

Since following Thor, these night shadows have always been invincible, but today they suffered such a big loss, which also shows that Lord Cliff's mansion is tightly guarded.

Sol was about to speak when suddenly he saw a man sitting in the innermost corner of the room.His hands and feet were tightly bound, and a ball of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and he was staring at Sol with resentful eyes.

"Huh?" Saul was startled for a moment, and then said pleasantly, "Did you catch Cliff?"

Chip nodded: "It went very smoothly at the beginning. We took advantage of the guards here to sneak into the Lord's Mansion, found Cliff who was still reading, and kidnapped him."

"But there was a small problem when he left. A servant who brought him supper found that Cliff was missing, which attracted the guard's vigilance. Because we brought a person, we were inconvenient to move, and we were found after entering the yard. , so I can only stay here and defend to the death.”

It turned out that this was the case in the dark, no wonder Chip would miss, but he was able to successfully kidnap Cliff, which has already surprised Sol.

He couldn't help saying: "Since he has been discovered, why don't you leave him and run away immediately. With your skills, you should be able to leave smoothly."

Chip said lightly: "Yeying never gives up on the mission. Now that the target has been captured, we will do everything possible to take him away, even if there are sacrifices."

Sol was so moved that he almost wanted to hug Chip and kiss him. Look, this is called professional quality.At the same time, he was also deeply grateful for his risky decision, because he did not give up such an excellent subordinate.

Walking in front of Cliff, Saul waved his hands triumphantly in front of his eyes: "Master Cliff, we meet again. I'm so sorry, I robbed your treasure last time, this time I want to kill your people." Take them away together."

His mouth was gagged and he couldn't speak, but Cliff's venomous eyes at this time could almost penetrate Sol.

At this time, Das also came in: "Enough is enough, there is not much time, let's go... Huh? You actually caught Cliff."

When he saw Cliff being tied up, he was also surprised and happy.

After being reminded by him, Saul also realized that now is not the time to chat, he said to Chip: "Time is running out, I have to leave immediately, can you do it?"

Chip nodded slightly: "No problem."

Afterwards, Cliff was carried by a strong guard, and everyone left the storage room and began to run outside.

The chaos in the yard was still there, but it was obvious that the guards were gradually restoring order, and the side with fewer guards was becoming more and more difficult to support.

Not only Kress and Gein were besieged by a group of guards, but Lesta was also forced to come over from the main gate, back to back with several defenders, trying to support them.

The crowd immediately responded to them, and the three groups of people joined together and began to kill outside the lord's mansion.

Although this increased their strength, it also attracted more guards. Gradually, they had to exert a lot of strength every step forward, and more and more people were injured.

At this moment, with Kress and Gein rushing forward, Lesta was broken behind, and the defenders who could still fight protected the flanks, a group of people tried their best to charge forward.But the guards who came to their senses already understood that the so-called death of thousands of people was actually only this small group of people.

Like ants, they rushed here from all directions, surrounded the crowd, and it became more and more difficult to move forward.

Relying on Xiaomei's protection, Sol would not have anything to worry about, but he became more and more anxious.If it continues like this, let alone these guards, the city defense team is probably coming soon.

However, the battle has become a stalemate, and it is impossible to get rid of these people for a while, and the chance of our side leaving safely is getting slimmer.

Only then did he realize that the price of this adventure was indeed not small.Although Cliff was caught, it also put his side in a desperate situation. If there is no turning point, then Sol will lose everything this time.

At this moment, Lesta, who suddenly heard it, let out a roar, followed by chaos in the rear.Saul looked back eagerly, but Lesta was injured, and a large piece of red was soaked in his abdomen.

Although the injury was serious, Lesta's bravery remained unabated.He covered the wound with one hand, and kept swinging the ax with one hand. The guards who tried to rush up fell to the ground with blood spattering.

But judging from the situation, he obviously couldn't hold on for long. Once Lesta fell, the rear of the team would be attacked in an all-round way, and there would be no way to recover.

"Brother." Sol exclaimed, and quickly called two defenders to help him.

Unexpectedly, Lesta pushed the two of them away, and shouted at the same time: "Brother-in-law, leave this place to me, you go quickly."

Kress and Gein in front also roared again and again, apparently the guards took the opportunity to step up their offensive.

At the same time, many peripheral guards have quietly raised their crossbows, and dozens of Senhan's arrows are pointing at everyone.It is conceivable that once launched, Sol's side may fall half on the spot.

"Don't move!"

Just when the situation was on the verge of breaking out, Sol suddenly heard a loud cry.At the same time, the defenders around him moved away slightly to make room, leaving only Xiaomei to protect him.

After seeing the man next to Sol, the guards who were besieging all stopped, and at the same time, a leader shouted: "Wait, no shooting!"

The crossbowmen who had already aimed at everyone quickly lowered their arrows, and the field fell silent.

Seeing that Sol was holding Cliff's back collar with one hand, and holding a dagger around his neck with the other hand, he said in a deep voice, "You better see who this is, and get out of the way."

"K...Master Cliff!?"

The capture of Cliff made the guards completely at a loss. They looked at each other in a panic, but no one knew whether to follow Sol's words.

"I said get out of the way!" Thor snorted, tightening the dagger in his hand.

A guard who seemed to be the leader hurriedly said, "Quick, back away."

Only then did the guards retreat, but they were not too far away, still surrounding the crowd faintly.

Although the crisis is temporarily resolved, Sol knows the pain.

If Sol's side is strong enough, he can take Cliff out to kill the general.But taking him as a hostage now shows that there is no other way to do it and can only resort to the last resort.

Just like bank robbers, they only take hostages and threaten the police when they are most desperate.Although doing so can temporarily gain the upper hand, the end is often not very good.

Just like now, although the guards are temporarily restrained, the momentum of Sol's side has completely disappeared.What's more terrible is that such a stalemate will further push them into desperation.

Once Lulin's city defense army arrives, Saul's side will be fully exposed, and there will be no possibility of escape. At that time, the situation may become like the usual plot of gangster movies.

So what if there is Cliff as a shield?With the Lulin people's usual ruthlessness, it is absolutely impossible for the military to compromise with this group of "thugs". It would be the best end for Sol and Cliff to perish together.

Others obviously thought of this too, and Das and the others all looked anxious.Walsa took a step back quietly, and said in a low voice: "The situation is not good, I have to think of a way."

Sol couldn't help but smiled wryly: "What else can we do, we can only delay it for a while."

Das also said anxiously: "But if the delay continues, the city defense army will come."

Saul said helplessly: "Of course I know... There is no other way, I can only do my best."

As he spoke, he pulled Cliff up and started walking towards the door, while the others moved around him.And the guards who were wary of rats had to follow the crowd from a distance, not daring to withdraw from the encirclement.

But this still can't solve the problem, because at this speed, I'm afraid they will be intercepted by the city defense team who rushed to the door.

Moreover, it was impossible to get rid of those persistent guards of the Lord's Mansion.

Time was wasted little by little in this desperate situation. Just when Sol himself was about to lose confidence, suddenly, the large arrows, like ghosts flying out of the night, flew towards the enemy without warning. The guards shot over.
