Chapter 80 This opportunity to show good will must be seized
“Let’s mobilize our armed personnel.”
“Where to go?”
“To protect the city lord and serve as the Marquis Sir, please do your part!”
The city lord is suffering, and it’s time to help.
You must seize this incredible opportunity to show your goodwill!
Some smart people thought of this, so soon a group of slave traders who wanted to please Marquis Bossier brought their own armed teams to follow the local garrison, and after some negotiations Later, they successfully joined as an assisting army.
"Everyone, you are all concerned."
"In other words, the Marquis has done so much for us, how could we see the Marquis being assassinated by a gangster without any expression? Of course I have to come and do my part!”
[Hypocritical, so fucking hypocritical! 】
The slave merchant who spoke was severely criticized by the group of represented slave merchants below, but on the surface, everyone showed a false compliment.
After all, with so many people coming, Marquis Bossier might not be able to remember who came, but who didn’t come would be easily remembered.
"Where's Ben Burn, why didn't he come?"
[No, now there is an unlucky guy who didn't come who is remembered! 】
Everyone looked at the obvious look of worry on Marquis Bossier's face and thought to themselves.
Youdao is both a colleague and an enemy, but the slave merchants here wish that other slave merchants did not come.
"Get a notebook and write it down for me, who came and who didn't come."
The Marquis of Bossier immediately ordered someone to take notes.
The guys who came can just thank you casually. As for the guys who didn't come, he will definitely find trouble afterwards and make those guys who didn't come pay a sufficient price.
To put it simply, he found another reason to ask for money.
However, after briefly taking notes, Marquis Bossier discovered that except for the big slave merchant Ben Burn, it seemed that all other slave merchants in the city were here.
[Hmph, these guys are lucky, they are all here. 】
Marquis Bossier was a little disappointed, and decided to recover the loss from Ben Burn.
The local garrison + private armed forces of slave merchants, the entire team numbered more than five thousand, and they surged towards the city lord's palace in the city.
This scene caused the city residents to give way. After the army passed by, these people started talking about what happened to trigger the large-scale mobilization of the army.
. . .
“I knew the situation would turn out like this.”
Maillard stood on the roof of the residential building, looking at the army heading towards the city lord’s palace, looking like he had been there for a long time. As expected.
"Should we attack that army?"
Esdeath stood beside her and asked, looking eager to fight.
"Are you crazy? You want to attack an army head-on?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"In an environment in a city, the army only needs to line up and fire a volley, you are Can you hide or block? "
Mailad asked an objective question. After thinking about it, Esdeath realized that he really couldn't hide or block.
“Unless we are in a wild environment, it is simply impossible for us to kill an army of a thousand people with our own strength. Therefore, for now, we still follow behind obediently and watch us Boy’s show!”
Maillard said so.
"Well, I admit that you have a point, but I have to correct one thing."
"What?"
"Broly is not your boy, but It’s my boy and Chitong’s.”
Esdeath said seriously.
Maillard: "..."
This guy's sense of sovereignty is still so strong, it's obviously the private property of others.
. . . .
The army quickly arrived near the City Lord's Mansion, and the rumble of the march also attracted the attention of the young guard who was fulfilling his duty at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
After seeing the army, the young guard looked happy, waved his arms and ran towards the army, but this move made the soldiers in the front row raise their rifles and aim at him.
"Lord Marquis, is that an assassin?"
"No, that's just a guard guarding the gate of the city lord's palace."
"That man is running over here now, trying to let him go. Come here?" "Let him come over. He may know the current situation in the city lord's mansion.
But you have to remove the weapons from his hands."
said the Marquis of Bossier.
He now needs to confirm whether the assassin is still in the city lord's mansion.
The young guard was quickly put into the army, and the rifles on his back were removed by the soldiers.
"My Lord Marquis, you finally came back with reinforcements, I..."
The young guard said with some excitement.
"Don't talk nonsense. What's the situation in the city lord's palace now? Has the assassin escaped?"
Marquis Bossier was a little impatient, so he interrupted the young guard and asked directly.
“There is no fighting taking place in the City Lord’s Mansion, but the assassin has not escaped yet. Instead, he has taken other people hostage and is forcing them to search for you in the City Lord’s Mansion.”
The young guard hurriedly replied.
“Very good!” Marquis Bossier slapped his thigh, looked at the chief of the Armament Department and ordered, “Get ready to bombard the city lord’s palace.”
"Ah, Lord Marquis, the assassin still has many hostages."
Hearing this, the young guard said quickly.
The Marquis of Bossier wanted to sneer, but when he saw the young guard's sincere concern for others, he straightened his face and said: "Young man, you also know how powerful that assassin is, I don't Maybe because he has hostages in his hands, he allows my army to bear the risk of causing more casualties and engage in close combat with the opponent!"
Young guard: "..."
< br>He was somewhat unable to refute what the Marquis said.
However, he thought of the scene where some people ran downstairs and were frightened back again. His eyes lit up and he said, "Your Majesty, there is only one assassin, and he asked the hostages he held to help search for you in the city lord's palace. But the hostages are not under strict supervision. I think I can go over there and rescue some hostages."
"Ha, there are very few young people who care about their colleagues like you. See you, let’s do it, you can go over there and try to bring the hostages back now, but I can only give you five minutes. Once the five minutes are up, the army will directly bombard the city lord’s palace.”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Marquis, I promise to rescue as many people as possible within five minutes."
The young guard was inspired, promised the Lord Marquis, and rushed back.
“Young people, it’s great to be motivated!”
Looking at the young guard's running back, Marquis Bossier sighed.
"The Marquis is so kind. I didn't expect to give that young man five minutes."
The Chief of the Arms Department quickly flattered him, and at this time, he heard that the Marquis was assassinated. , and the various dignitaries in Bossier City who came to express their condolences quickly also joined in their support.
The reason why they are so active is just because they know quite well what kind of petty guy Marquis Bossier is. If they don't show their initiative now, they may be in trouble in the future.
"What are you talking about?" Marquis Bossier showed a surprised expression and said directly, "Now, give the order to the soldiers to bombard the city lord's palace directly."
"Ah, Lord Marquis, didn't you say that you should give the other party five minutes to save the hostages?"
"Ha, five minutes, are you kidding me? If the assassin runs away during these five minutes, can you Can you bear the responsibility? "
Marquis Bossier felt uncomfortable when he thought that there was an assassin in the city who could kill him.
It is impossible for him to stay in the army and be protected forever.
Therefore, killing the assassins who attacked the city lord's palace is a priority that must be solved.
As for some casualties that may be caused in the process of killing the assassin, Marquis Bossier doesn't care as long as his personal life is not endangered.
After all, they are just a group of subordinates. Once they are gone, they can be recruited later. But if the assassin who attacked the city lord's palace escapes, it will make him feel sleepless.
Of course, as for the young guard, he was originally a poor guard, but he could make the other party die while holding the assassin back, which actually enabled the young man to die heroically.
[Well, I won’t punish that guy’s family any more. 】
Thinking of this, Marquis Bossier only felt that he was too kind and kind.
. . . .
The young guard foolishly ran back, holding back his fear and ran into the city lord's mansion. He was about to sneak upstairs and take away the hostage in his eyes, but before he could get to the second floor...
< br>"Bang!"
The sound of shelling outside rang directly with the vibration of the city lord's mansion.
“Ah, why did the cannon fire at this time? Wasn’t it five minutes?”
The young guard was a little stunned and had no idea why the cannon was fired outside in advance.
