Lord Chronicle

Chapter 252 Hostage (Part [-])

Caught off guard, they heard screams again and again, and soon more than ten guards fell to the ground with arrows.

Unexpectedly, Sol and the others had foreign aid, and the guards all panicked.However, it was suddenly attacked in the dark, and for a while, no one could figure out where the arrows came from.

In just a moment, another wave of arrows arrived, and a large piece of the guard fell down again.

"My lord, it's on the wall over there." At this moment, Chip pointed to Saul.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Sol discovered that there were dozens of black shadows at the top of the wall over there.All of them held crossbows and kept shooting at the guards.

At this time, the guards also discovered their existence, and those with bows and arrows quickly fought back, while some people also rushed to that side.

However, although the number of opponents is small, they have considerable skills. While flexibly dodging the sparse arrows from the guards, they counterattacked with amazing accuracy.

Soon, the guards of the Lord's Mansion were in chaos and defeated.

Although he didn't know the origin of these helpers, Thor was not stupid enough to waste a great opportunity.He yelled, "Let's go now!"

Soon, led by Kress, a group of people rushed towards the gate.

The guards wanted to stop them, but under the precise bow and arrow shooting of the group of mysterious people, they were already powerless.What's more, under the will to escape, the guards were unstoppable, and the guards who were in a mess were quickly rushed to pieces.

Finally came to the door, Sol never felt that such a short distance would be so long.

But now is obviously not the time to relax. He was about to order everyone to retreat quickly when a figure suddenly jumped down from the wall.

The vigilant defenders immediately drew their swords to face each other, and Chip and Kress also stood in front of Sol at the same time.

"Master Saul, it's me." The visitor said quickly.

Taking a closer look, Saul couldn't help being taken aback: "Ga, Garrett!? Why are you here?"

The person who came was Garrett, the leader of the Thieves Guild. He said to Saul, "I felt something was wrong when you captured Clive's servant. Lord's Mansion."

Seeing him, Sol realized that those people on the wall were all thieves, no wonder they had such good skills and arrow skills.

He couldn't help but said, "Didn't you say that the Thieves Guild doesn't do anything other than intelligence gathering?"

Garrett smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, that's why I regret coming here. But I was already pretty crazy when I promised you to come to Ferry City, so why not do more."

To be honest, Garrett, who has always been wise and safe, would suddenly appear to help his side, which Sol never expected.You must know that Garrett risked completely exposing the surviving thieves in Ferry City by getting involved so hastily. This would be a huge blow to the already weakened Thieves Guild.

But because of this, Garrett's impulsive move was particularly rare.

Sol wanted to say more, but Chip said in a deep voice, "My lord, the time is wrong, let's go."

Garrett also said: "That's right, my people can't hold on for long. I'll talk about gratitude later, just remember to give me the extra money I helped this time."

Sol couldn't laugh or cry with this guy, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, everyone leave quickly. Garrett, your people will be responsible for the rear end, okay?"

Garrett said helplessly: "You really make the best use of everything. If it's just for a while, you should be able to..."

Unexpectedly, he didn't finish his sentence, when he suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes coming from across the street.

Hearing this voice, everyone's expressions changed at the same time.Just as they turned their heads to look, a group of cavalry had pierced through the darkness and came galloping from the other side of the street.

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** *********************
"It's over, it's the cavalry of the city defense team." Garrett exclaimed.

These cavalrymen obviously used their own mobility to rush forward after hearing the movement, so the city defense army's brigade might not be far away.

The unexpected appearance of the cavalry made Sol's side panic for a while.Who would have thought that after finally rushing out of the lord's mansion, it would fall short at the last moment?

"I can't go anymore, let's fight with these guys!" Although the injury was serious, Lesta remained brave.

But Chip shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't make any sense to fight recklessly."

Kress waved the iron lump: "That's right. Sir, don't worry about Cliff, you and His Highness Darth and the others still have time to go, we will block this place."

Although Sol could still use Cliff to block for a while, but after the city defense army arrived, it was useless to do so.

What Kress said was the only way at present, leaving Cliff, who had become a burden, Sol and Darth took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the rest stayed to resist the enemy.

It's just that although you can escape your life by doing this, Chip and the night shadows, Kress and all the guards, and even Garrett and his thieves will all die here.

But with such a heavy loss, how did Saul make up his mind?
Seeing that he still didn't make a decision, Gein said angrily: "What should I do? You can tell me. I am a soldier after all. If you don't want to leave, it's no big deal to stay and fight."

"My lord, don't hesitate, if you get entangled, no one will be able to leave." Chip also urged.

Two thoughts were entangled in Saul's mind, and the pressure of the choice made him almost scream.However, the enemy's cavalry was getting closer, and he had no time to make trade-offs.

Gritting his teeth, Sol slapped himself hard on the face, and was about to speak.

However, something unexpected happened again.

Suddenly, the cavalry rushing to the front seemed to hit something, and the horses stood up in fright. The knights on the horse tried to control the panicked horses, but the cavalry behind bumped into them again.Soon, the people on the street turned their backs on their backs, the neighing of war horses and the shouts of cavalry rang out, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

At the same time, no one noticed that among the cavalrymen who collided into a pile, patches of strange black mist were quietly filling.All people or horses who inhaled the mist collapsed limply to the ground as if their life had been sucked out.

In the back yard, the guards who saw the cavalry arriving and were planning to outflank Sol and the others were also attacked by unknown people.

An invisible cold wind blew out the torches in everyone's hands, followed by the guards' horrified screams in the darkness, and they were attacked by something terrible.

The sudden change made Sol and the others startled and suspicious, and they all looked at each other strangely.

Seeing Sol looking at him, Garrett quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not me this time, we thieves are not so capable yet."

At this time Gein said: "Whoever it is is obviously helping us, let's take this opportunity and leave quickly."

Naturally, no one objected, so under the leadership of the thieves, Sol and his gang dispersed into various streets and alleys, and soon disappeared.

However, no one noticed that just as they were fleeing, a red figure suddenly appeared in the shadows in a corner not far from the gate.

Looking at the chaotic guards and cavalry, he snorted coldly: "How can you guys destroy such a good opportunity. Sol, Sol, since you have done me a big favor, let's leave our grievances alone." We'll settle it next time."

Leaving this sentence of unknown meaning, the mysterious man retreated a little and disappeared into the darkness.

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************
When Felino heard the news and hurried over, a large number of city defense troops had gathered outside Cliff's lord's mansion.They blocked the road and started searching everywhere.

The cavalry who arrived earlier were attacked by unknown persons and suffered great losses.However, those who survived still can't figure out what is attacking them.

When he learned that Cliff was kidnapped, Felino was filled with shock and anger.He pulled a guard over and said angrily, "What are you all doing? How many enemies are there?"

The guard stammered and said, "There... there were dozens of people, no, dozens of people came later... No, some people attacked us later, but I didn't see anything."

His incoherence made Felino even more annoyed, and he slapped the guard on the face: "Are you an idiot? Who is the other party?"

The guard hurriedly said: "He, they claim to be the death group."

"Go to death group?" Felino was slightly startled: "Why is this go to death group again... Wait, could it be?"

Suddenly, his expression changed: "Could it be Sol?"

Immediately, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "No, absolutely impossible. He should be killed by Gru now, and besides, he couldn't have slipped into Ferry City quietly and brought With so many men."

At this time, the guard said cautiously: "Lord Felino, when I was fighting those people, I overheard..."

"Hear what?"

"Those gangsters once called a very young man inside 'Lord Lord.'"

Felino's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"

"Yes, that person looks very wretched. At first I thought I heard it wrong." The guard hurriedly said.

He waved his hand to signal him to leave, Felino touched his chin and smiled coldly: "So it's really you. Sol, you really surprised me one after another."

"However, why is he still alive? Could it be that something happened to Gru?"

At this time, the man named Bullock came over: "Felino, have you confirmed the murderer?"

Felino nodded: "Yes, I think the same group of people we are looking for."

Excitement flashed in Bullock's eyes: "No wonder you can kill Fielding. These guys even dare to kidnap Cliff. I can't wait to meet them more and more."

Felino said suddenly: "But Your Excellency, we may have to postpone our search for them for a while."

"Why?" Brock asked in surprise.

Felino said: "The purpose of these people is obvious. It is to use Mr. Cliff to make us have some scruples, so that we can no longer hunt them down. So for the safety of Mr. Cliff, we must..."

Before he finished speaking, Bullock interrupted him with a wave of his hand unceremoniously: "If you kidnap, you will kidnap, and you have nothing to worry about that kind of betrayer."

Felino's eyes sank slightly, but he said calmly: "Master Cliff is the biggest contributor to guiding Lulin into Dinar, and the entire Bahrain leader needs to rely on him to provide logistics for the army. Operation, what your lord said just now is really inappropriate."

Brock said angrily, "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"Don't dare." Felino bowed slightly: "However, I don't think the headquarters will agree with your opinion. So as long as you get the approval of the commander, the villain can also increase the intensity of the search."

Staring at Ferino fiercely, Bullock's face changed several times, and finally he snorted angrily: "Okay, give me that Ye Ying, and I will find those people myself."

This time Felino didn't contradict him, he nodded and said, "No problem. Just allow me to repeat again, you must not underestimate those people."

Bullock didn't speak, just left like that.

After Brock left, Felino pondered for a moment, and then waved for an official: "Master Cliff's kidnapping must not be spread. You go and tell everyone, you must keep your mouth shut, and warn the neighbors witnesses."

The official hurried away, and after him he called a few more people.

"Master Cliff is in their hands. Before we rescue him, we have to be cautious. So from now on, the original plan will be cancelled, and the search for the resistance organizations in the city will be weakened."

An official asked: "But if we don't find them, how are we going to save Lord Cliff?"

Felino waved his hand: "I don't care about that much anymore, I can only talk about it when the time comes."

The officials nodded to show their understanding, and they went down to make arrangements.

Looking at the lord's mansion that has become a mess, Felino gritted his teeth and said, "Sol sneaked into Ferry City at this time, definitely not for Mr. Cliff. What is the plan of that guy?"

"No, I always feel that something is wrong. I should ask the military department to bring back a batch of night shadows from the front line." After a while, Ferino made another decision.

Due to Lulin's consistent strategic thinking, all Yeying were transferred to the front line, and only a few spares were left in Ferry City. It was far from enough to find out Sol's whereabouts as soon as possible.

"I just hope that nothing will happen before Yeying comes back..."

Finally, Felino thought so.

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** *************************************
"Hahahaha, it's so cool. We caught Cliff, and we successfully kidnapped Cliff!"

After returning safely to the hiding place, the whole house was immersed in excitement.

Although it was reborn due to an accident tonight, and the entire army was almost wiped out, the goal was finally successfully completed.With Cliff as a shield, I believe we can buy a lot of time again.

After handing over the injured guards to Chesler and secretly sending them for treatment, Saul and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and took Cliff to the backyard for imprisonment.

After entering the cell, Chip took the cloth from Cliff's mouth, and he immediately gasped for breath.

For a moment, he raised his head and looked at Sol's eyes, which were no longer the initial hatred, but surprisingly calm.As expected of a famous aristocrat, he does have considerable psychological qualities.

"Cliff, it's been several years since the Royal Capital Celebration. I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances." At this moment, Das said.

Glancing at him lightly, Cliff said calmly, "Is it Prince Darth? I didn't expect you to come to Ferry City."

As he spoke, he said one by one: "Wolsa, Albert's son, I heard that you have been practicing in the Wizards Guild; this is Pintat's son Gein, the battle of Diviji Castle was very beautiful."

Finally, his eyes turned to Saul: "Saul Lovell, you are a useless wretch that I have never paid attention to. I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands."

Although he has been reduced to a prisoner, Cliff still has a kind of majesty that cannot be underestimated.Hearing what he said, Saul had thought about the sarcasm for a long time, but couldn't say it for a while.

"You traitor to the motherland, are you still so proud?" Das asked.

Cliff smiled sarcastically: "Betrayal? I never think so. I'm just trying to get what is rightfully mine."

Das said angrily: "What are you talking about! Bahrain has been the largest territory in Dinar for generations. As a lord, your power and glory are unmatched. What can my father do to you?"

Cliff snorted: "It's true that the Bahrain family is the biggest lord of Dinar, but we are just a dog helping you guard the western border. My family has worked hard to run the Bahrain Territory for generations, but most of the income has been filled. In the bottomless pit of the border guards, for hundreds of years, except for meaningless rewards, we have not obtained any substantial benefits, but in times of famine, if the production is slightly insufficient, we will be blamed."

"Robert is just a mediocre guy. What qualifications does he have to ask me to be loyal? The Lulin people are different. After they occupy this country, they will give me the management rights of half of the territory. That is the position where I can really exert my power. You said, should I 'betray'?"

"You bastard, you still have such a high-sounding reason." After all, he was a member of the Dinar royal family, and Das was furious, and he was about to hit him.

Gein hurriedly grabbed him, and at this moment Sol said: "Cliff, I always thought you were a smart person, do you really think that the Lulin people will give you such great power?"

Cliff said confidently: "Why not? The Lulin people are just a group of barbarians who only know how to fight. Do they know production? Do they know business? Do they know construction? While they know how to manage such a large piece of land, Is it still prosperous?"

"Just look at the fact that the Bahraini leader is still firmly in my hands, and they still have to rely on me to supply the logistics of the entire army. You know that when they face Dinar who is full of holes and a mess after the war, apart from relying on me power, they have no choice!"

The four of Sol couldn't help looking at each other. Cliff's self-confidence seemed to be reasonable. With his wit and scheming, he might have already planned his way out.

Seeing his complacency, Gein taunted: "It's a pity that your wishful thinking will no longer work. Looking at the current situation, it is not certain who will win. But this is on our land after all. Do you think , can the people of Lulin outlast us Dinar?"

Cliff breathed out: "I have to say, you did a really good job. Gein, you strictly guarded Diviji and seriously threatened Lulin's logistics line; Darth, you did a very good job of killing the Black Armored Cavalry." Beautiful; Walsa, I heard that last time you broke the alliance between Lulin and Bamuk, you also did a lot of work; but the most surprising thing is you..."

As he spoke, he looked at Saul: "Although Felino reminded me repeatedly, I always habitually don't take you seriously. Who would have thought that it was you, the little boy, who ruined Lulin's good situation? The local country lords, including my current predicament. I must admit from the bottom of my heart, Saul Lovell, I have completely lost to you."

From the insignificant little person who was not even as good as an ant in Cliff's eyes at the beginning, to now the whole situation has been reversed, and even Cliff has fallen into his hands. Looking at the various things that Sol has been in the past few years since he became the lord, it is enough to let Everyone was stunned.

At this moment, with Cliff's arrogance, being willing to say such a complete surrender is the best proof.

There is a saying that things are impermanent, so it might not be more suitable for Saul and Cliff, right?
Hearing such words from his greatest mortal enemy himself, Sol was also filled with emotions. He was about to speak when Cliff's tone changed suddenly.

"Hehe, but there is one more thing, I'm afraid you don't know yet?"

"What's the matter?" Hearing the weirdness in his words, several people couldn't help but be taken aback.

Cliff said: "It's okay to tell you. The news just came from Lulin that the rebellion of the mountain barbarians has been successfully suppressed. The two legions that went to suppress the rebellion have freed up their hands and are marching towards Dinar I believe it will arrive in Bahrain soon.”

"Now do you still think that Dinard will win this war?"

"what!?"

Hearing this news, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

It's no wonder that when they first arrived in Ferry, Garrett had provided information that the Bahrain leader was trying to collect food and grass, and it seemed that there was going to be some big move. It turned out that it was preparing to welcome the two legions.

The Lulin elite army of the two legions is a full 10,000+ people. Once they join the battlefield, they will decisively change the current stalemate.

The reaction of the four made Cliff very proud. He laughed and said, "Although I don't know what you are planning to do in Bahrain, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, because you have absolutely no chance of winning."

"Damn guy, you dare to be arrogant at this time!" His reaction made Gein very angry: "Believe it or not, I will kill you right now, and let you go to hell to live your dream."

Cliff was unmoved at all: "You dare not kill me, because I am your amulet now. Now the city of Ferry is on full alert, as long as I die, you will never leave the city safely."

"Hmph, to kill you, at worst we can continue to hide, do you think the Lulin people can find it?" Walsa also said.

Cliff said: "Don't lie to yourself, isn't it because you couldn't hide that you kidnapped me? So I advise you guys, at least until you find a way to be absolutely safe, treat me well as a prisoner."

Then, he added: "Unfortunately, with Felino here, it will only be a matter of time before you are dug out. But you are worthy of praise for being able to achieve this step in fighting with him."

At this moment, he didn't look like a prisoner, but instead looked like he was eating Sol and the others to death.But what is depressing is that Sol and the others really have nothing to do with him.

"Damn it..." Gein gasped heavily, "I can't kill you, I'll beat you to the head office, right? I really want to see what it looks like when the famous Cliff turns into a swollen pig's head. "

This time Cliff didn't even pay attention to him, and closed his eyes arrogantly, with an expression of whatever you want.

"Okay, okay, calm down, don't let him lead you away." Walsa and Das hurriedly grabbed him, dragged and persuaded Gein to get out of the cell.

"Wait, I have one more thing." Just as Saul was about to go out, Cliff suddenly stopped him.

Saul turned around, and Cliff said in a deep voice, "How is Gru?"

"Honestly, I don't know." Sol shrugged, but he was telling the truth.

Cliff's eyes darkened, obviously, he had already guessed that something must have happened to Gru, and this was definitely a big blow to him.

"Keep an eye on him, and there must be no mistakes." Thor gave instructions to the guards and walked out.

Leaving the prison cell, Ge Yin still resented himself: "Damn it, how can I be so arrogant as a prisoner, how can I swallow this breath?"

"Forget it, our purpose is to catch him anyway." Saul comforted.

Gein still couldn't let go, he muttered a few words, his eyes lit up suddenly: "I thought of how to deal with him."
