Chapter 187 Rescue 2
Xie La couldn’t bear to hide it anymore and said anxiously: "Yes, my daughter... the scholar Dirac is my daughter La Disetia Gerald!"< br>
Quick jumped up: "Female consultant?"
Then he slapped his forehead hard.
"What a stupid pig I am! With green hair, so handsome appearance, and that familiar figure, isn't it the consultant lady?"
But now it's too late to complain that I'm stupid. Since the other person's mother came to ask for help, why shouldn't I not help? It is his task to escort their family safely back to the Northwest Bay.
"Mrs. Setia? Where is my wife now?"
"It should be in the forest north of Nisborg. This parrot will take us to the specific location."
"Parrot?"
Quick then discovered that a parrot had landed on Mrs. Setia's shoulder out of nowhere.
"Yes, this parrot and my daughter have a mutual understanding, and it can sense that La Di is in danger."
Despite the many doubts in his heart, Quick did not doubt the other party, and Miss La Di was deeply affected. What could be wrong with Earl Grayman's trust and her mother's personal admission.
And the place of danger is a forest, so it shouldn't be a dispute with the Horned Bay Alliance government. There is a high probability that he encountered bandits or wild beasts.
But if he really got into trouble with the Confederate government, he would have no choice but to turn to the Foster family for help.
He immediately sent sailors to the cabin to wake everyone up, and then called the first mate, second mate and Ladi's mother to the captain's cabin.
Quick briefly explained the situation and immediately made arrangements:
He and the second mate led 30 people to follow Mrs. Setia to the forest north of the city to find Miss Ladi, and the second mate led the rest. Ten men guarded the Southern.
No one had any objections and started taking action immediately.
The sailor on duty who was responsible for waking everyone up had informed his companions of the cause of the incident. Everyone knew that Mr. Dirac, who had a decent demeanor and had been on the same boat with him for such a long time, turned out to be the one beside the Lord. The charming female consultant was very surprised.
But this beautiful female consultant was now in danger. For a moment, the crowd was excited, clamoring for a hero to save the beauty.
Quick even skipped mobilizing before the battle, and immediately ordered thirty people to pick up their weapons and line up ashore.
Several young candidates with strong curiosity wanted to sign up eagerly. They also wanted to go outside the city and go on a rescue mission in the middle of the night. It was exciting to think about it.
Then they were locked into the captain's cabin.
There was a commotion in the cabin, and everyone took out their own equipment. In order to ensure the safety of this expedition to the south, the Navy has taken great pains to prepare. In addition to cannons and gunpowder, the South is also equipped with 40 muskets with sleeve-type bayonets, and 10 "big sprayers" that can fire shotguns. ”—Large-caliber short-barreled musket.
Xie La watched in surprise as the sailors ran to the shore and lined up carrying "long guns and short cannons".
Captain Quaker ordered them to prepare their weapons, but they all took out some strange things.
She saw someone putting a spike-like thing on the strange "wooden stick" - in fact, she didn't know how to describe that kind of thing. There seemed to be a stick embedded in it. One end of the iron pipe, which looks like a spear, but much shorter than a real spear.
But this group of people was well-trained. In just a few minutes, they formed a neat team on the dock. It was obvious that Captain Quick must have worked hard to train them on weekdays.
Xie La was even more surprised. She had never seen any army that could do this.
Yes, the army. Now she has no doubt in her heart that the team in front of her is definitely a real army, not just an expedition team.
Quick said to Sheela: "Mrs. Setia, please... uh... please let your parrot lead the way."
Sheila nodded.
“Please, Polly.”
Polly the parrot that sat on her shoulder immediately spread its wings and flew into the air, making a cry to let people know its location, Sierra Followed closely.
"Everyone listen to the order! Follow Mrs. Setia." The captain gave the order, and the temporarily formed rescue team started running quickly.
......
At the North Gate of Nisborg, several city guard soldiers were warming up a small fire. Although the autumn and winter seasons in Corner Bay are not as cold as those in the north, they stood outside for a long time in the middle of the night. It's also a bit chilly.
The soldiers gathered around and listened to the captain chatting nonsense while smoking his pipe.
"You young people, you have never heard of many ancient legends about Nisborg."
"Boss, are you a local here? You must know a lot about me, right?"
The captain raised his head with a hint of pride on his face.
"Of course, my family told me about it every day when I was a kid."
"Tell me a few words and listen!"
Seeing my subordinates being hanged up. Having whetted his appetite, the captain started chatting.
"It is said that before the League of Corners was established, Nisborg was just an ordinary small town on the seaside."
"The people who live here are unlucky. They worry about their lives every day. The Lord of Light prays that if it weren't for a special spice here, the residents would have been exposed to the threat of a terrible disaster."
Is it a horror story? The soldiers swallowed, "It's... what kind of disaster is it?"
The captain showed a mysterious expression on his face and said word by word:
"Wolf disaster!"< br>
"Wolf plague?"
The soldiers were surprised. There were many wolves near Nisburg, but they rarely attacked passers-by on the road. As long as they didn't forget to run deeper into the forest, they would be fine.
The captain nodded and confirmed: "Yes, wolf plague!"
"Captain, the wolves here seem to be docile."
"Hmph! Then It’s not like this a hundred years ago!”
The captain continued to act mysterious.
“It is said that a long time ago, the wolves of Nisborg were very fond of eating people!”
“It is not like now, only looking for those unlucky ones who are lost in the depths of the forest! But! They attacked the business travelers in groups in broad daylight, and the wolves were very organized, just like a human army."
The soldiers shrank.
“The largest wolf pack now only has a dozen or so, but at that time wolves appeared in hundreds and hundreds.”
"On the night of the full moon, it is a time of hell for the people of Nisborg. At this time, the hungry wolves are no longer content with robbing pedestrians on the road, but will take the initiative to attack the town. They rush into the door without locking it. They took away poultry and livestock, even human children.”
“The ancestors were miserable. It was not that they had never thought of organizing to eliminate the wolves, but when they entered the depths of the forest, they The losses were heavy. The legend——"
"What is the legend?"
"The legend is that there is a wolf king leading them..."
At this moment, there was a sound. The howling of wolves suddenly came from far and near, and the captain and soldiers heard it clearly.
"Ouch——"
