Chapter 1097: 1083. The Dark Night of Mukuso
Chapter 1097 1083. The Dark Night of Mukuso
Under the night, three guard battalion knights on horses walked along the long street.
The horseshoes knocked on the stone slab, and the crisp kicking sound spread far away, as if even the noise from the side of the square couldn't cover it up.
Charlie turned his head and saw the guard battalion knights, his eyes immediately shone brightly. After seeing these guard battalion knights, he felt that he had found a way out of his predicament.
He couldn't wait to run towards the three guard battalion knights, but Harry behind him grabbed his hair and pulled him to his side brutally.
Luke and a group of villagers wanted to rush up to rescue Charlie, but were stopped by a group of city guides who kept shouting.
The two groups almost pressed their chests together.
These local guides are better at fighting, and everyone has the aura of a desperado.
The group of craftsmen behind Luke seemed a little harsh at this moment. Although there were many people, their morale was much weaker.
The two sides were deadlocked on this long street. Harry, the guide, showed an arrogant and confident smile on his face, grabbed Charlie's hair with one hand, patted his cheek with the other, and asked with a grinning grin:
"Why, are you going to call the Knight of the Guard Battalion?"
He bent down, then raised his head very arrogantly, raised one arm very high-profile, just like an opera conductor, with a kind of obsessive narcissism, said to Charlie with contempt:
"Come on, friends, let me shout for you!"
Then he stuck it next to Charlie's ear and whispered in a very small voice:
"Are you saying that the knights of the guard camp in the city are familiar with you country bumpkins, or are they familiar with me?"
There was still a hint of ferocity on his face, but when he raised his head, he became very humble in an instant. He stood respectfully in front of the knights of the guard battalion, and said politely and loudly:
"Good evening, Knight Chapman! Knight Amos! Knight Claude!"
Three knights from the guard battalion rode over, and the crowd took the initiative to part ways. When the tall horse came up to Harry and Charlie, the knight from the guard battalion in the middle looked around and asked calmly:
"Harry, why are you doing work here again?"
"I don't have it. Isn't this a group of bricklayers recruited from Hailansa City, and I'm about to send it to the main sewer line project!"
The guide Harry let go of his hand holding Charlie's hair, wiped the sweat from his palms on Charlie's lapel, and said flatteringly.
Knight Chapman frowned, and said in a deep voice: "So many carriages have seriously hindered the traffic, take them away quickly!"
Harry nodded and bowed quickly, indicating that he would leave immediately, and then said arrogantly to Charlie and Luke: "Everyone, come with me! If you don't want to be beaten, be sensible..."
The voice in the second half of the sentence is low and very harsh.
The Chapman knight on the side raised his chin high, pretending not to hear, and was about to pull the reins and turn away...
Charlie straightened his clothes, he took a step forward, stopped in front of Knight Chapman, and shouted loudly: "Master Knight Chapman, please wait a moment, we are here from Hailansa City to find A living craftsman, we don't know this person at all!"
Charley pointed at the guide Harry with an expression of dissatisfaction.
Knight Chapman suddenly had a headache. He hated this kind of country bumpkin who couldn't see the situation clearly. The knights rushed over to help out, but they still haven't completely bluffed the craftsmen from other places, because the mud couldn't support the wall.
But the Chapman Cavaliers can only complain from the bottom of their hearts.
Harry was about to go mad with anger. He didn't expect that after bluffing and scaring for a long time, the country bumpkin on the opposite side didn't listen at all, and he stood up in public and stopped the three guard knights.
Harry jumped up from behind and hit Charlie **** the head with his fist.
Charlie was thrown to the ground by a sudden heavy punch, and Luke and other villagers rushed over desperately to rescue Charlie.
The other guides rushed forward when they saw that they had already made a move.
A scuffle broke out on the street at the west exit of the central square. Chapman was so angry that his face was contorted. He quickly took out the whistle on his chest, put it in his mouth, and blew it hard.
He pulled out a short riding whip from his waist, rode on the horseback, and slammed his head and face at the melee crowd. The two companions behind him also whipped the torn crowd with the horsewhip. With so many people fighting, it was hard No one dared to do anything to the guard battalion knights. They lowered their heads and resisted the whips falling from above their heads, and rushed towards the opposing crowd.
The horsewhip in Knight Chapman's hands more often fell on these outsiders. Although he knew what kind of people these guides were, he had to make a living in Mucuso City anyway. Those outsiders might They will run away in a few days, and I have no reason to offend the locals because of them.
Especially these guides who have no bottom line in doing things, stealing, fraud, intimidation, fighting, there is almost nothing they don't do, but they have a very clear understanding of the punishment of the Green Empire, and they will not make too serious mistakes, the guards Camp's prison is more like a hotel with harsher conditions...
As a group of guard battalion knights patrolling nearby rushed over one after another, the fight finally subsided.
Everyone on the scene was squatted on the ground under the whip of the guard battalion knight.
"Catch them all... take them away!"
Although Chapman Knight had a headache because so many people were involved in this fight, he still gave instructions to his subordinates.
At this time, Harry stood up from the ground, wiped the nosebleed on his lips, and said again with a playful smile:
"Knight Chapman, we can reconcile in private, and you don't need to trouble you to prepare so many rooms. In fact, I recruited them, as long as..."
Generally speaking, the scene is so big, and when it gets so loud, they have to go to prison. These helpless craftsmen in Mukusuo City must choose to give in. If they really live in prison, these four-wheeled carriages are left alone. If a few horses starve to death, it is far better to spend a little money to calm things down.
Now an ancient horse is worth at least 20 gold in the market.
Before the guide Harry finished speaking, Charlie, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face after being beaten by Harry, stubbornly raised his head, stretched his neck and shouted:
"Master Knight, I do not agree to reconciliation, we and him..."
Cavalier Chapman wished he could stick a carrot in Charlie's mouth to make the stubborn country bumpkin shut up immediately.
"Go to the guard camp to resolve any disputes! Take them away..."
Chapman Cavaliers voice is a little hoarse.
He was riding on the horse, glaring at Harry angrily, his eyes were full of 'this matter can't be settled with a meal'.
Harry straightened up immediately, exposing the money bag hanging on his waist, and patted it secretly.
Chapman Chapman's face turned pale, and he commanded several knights under him to **** all these migrant workers back to the prison of the guard camp.
As for the group of guides who also participated in the fight, they were standing under the street trees on the side of the street at this time, and they were actually giggling as spectators.
Seeing that things had deteriorated to this point, Luke looked for opportunities to tell the knights of the guard battalion several times that he knew Mr. Suldak, the commander of the garrison of Mucuso City, but he was furious from the knights of the guard battalion. whip…
This made Luke never find a chance to speak.
…
The three hundred bricklayers of Wall Village who had been beaten up were escorted overnight into the underground prison of the guard camp, and all the twenty carriages were driven back to the guard camp by the knights. Each carriage was equipped with two ancient horses. Horses, when they arrived at the guard camp, there was only one Gubolai horse left in the twenty carriages.
Charlie and Luke were pushed and shoved by the guard battalion knights, and got into the prison surrounded by iron bars.
The prison was dark and damp, and the walls of the corridors were covered with instruments of torture. Several craftsmen of Wall Village were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot.
The bald uncle Santo climbed up to Charlie with his wet trousers in his hands, and said to Charlie with a mournful face:
"Charlie, didn't you say Duck helped us find a job? How could this happen?"
The villagers leaning against the stone wall next to them also said in frustration:
"I didn't expect that we would sleep in a cell in the guard camp on the first night when we came to the Ganbu plane."
"If this were in Hailansa, no one would dare to treat us like this." Other villagers also complained.
Charlie also imitated other villagers, leaning against the wall, checking the abrasions on his body, and said a little depressed:
"Maybe I made a mistake when I arrived in Mukuso. I didn't expect the journey to be so smooth. It was half a day earlier than the expected time!"
"I was too careless. When we came out of the portal, we should drive the carriage farther..." Luke leaned against the wall and said with some regret.
"What should we do now?" A villager couldn't help asking.
Charlie and Luke looked at each other, and comforted the villagers: "Don't worry. Duck is the commander of the garrison here, let's go out first."
"When they propose conditions to us tomorrow, we will agree first, and we will deal with them when we find Dak!"
Luke whispered to Charlie.
…
In the past few days, Suldak's schedule has been very full every day. He has to hold a regular meeting in the city hall in the morning. Now the progress of the projects in various parts of the city has been delayed again and again, but from Finance Officer Basil Houghton The money spent in his hands has not decreased.
After breakfast, Suerdak asked Xi Ya who was eating fried fish with his head down at the table:
"Siya, what's the plan for today?"
Sia raised her head, gathered her first-class messy wavy hair behind her ears, opened the notebook at hand, and immediately said:
"In the morning, there will be an auction of the 15th to 20th houses on Central Avenue. You said that after the regular meeting, you will have a look. You will also summon the mayors of seven small towns in the southwest region. In the afternoon, you will inspect the progress of the repairs on the northern city wall. Check the prices in the city in the free market, oh, yes, I heard you said a few days ago that people from Wall Village will come to Mukuso today, let me remind you..."
Suldak patted his forehead. If Siya didn't remind himself, Charlie and Luke would arrive in Mukuso today, and he would have almost forgotten about it.
He told Samira, the half-elf archer who was also eating fish, saying:
"Samira, you know Charlie and Luke. After breakfast, you go to the central square to pick them up."
"If they haven't arrived yet, let the guards at the portal keep an eye on them, and bring them here when they arrive."
"The yard next door is big enough and there are enough houses. Let them settle there first. Before leaving Mucuso, I will arrange their work and let Charlie and Luke help me keep an eye on the project here."
Samira agreed without looking up: "Oh! Got it."
