MTL - Please Sink In Happiness-Chapter 24
But they couldn't stop Li Ergou at all. He held a flintlock pistol in one hand and a long spear in the other. Combining the unmissable shooting with his impeccable marksmanship, he was like no one in the narrow street battle.
"Aishwana, we're about to get to the city wall."
"Well, I'm a little scared, but now I'm really happy."
Aishwana's pretty face blushed slightly, her **** body clinging tightly to Li Ergou's chest, as well-behaved and coquettish as a cat.
The galloping horses were still running non-stop. After running towards the north for about twenty minutes, Li Ergou and Aishwana finally saw the city wall. It was a black city wall made of gravel and rubble. The city wall was about eight high. At nine meters, the height is quite satisfactory. The watchtower of the city wall is about 20 meters high. In addition, there are some fortresses. The city gates are three huge arched structures, and the city gates are also plated with gold.
There are heavy guards around the city gate. The infantrymen are loaded with guns. The magicians and knights in magic robes stand there solemnly. They do not intend to release any slaves. There are already several near the north city gate. The corpse of the slave was lying there.
"Second dog, what should we do?"
"Get off the horse first." Li Ergou frowned and said, "We can't force it."
The rain was still falling, and the bodies of slaves, soldiers, and jailers were washed into the lower dam along the way.
He pulled Aishwana and looked around carefully.
However, he neglected. On a street corner that he hadn't noticed, an elf girl in a black trench coat was watching all this. An umbrella was open above her head. It was the umbrella held by the maid behind her, which blocked the Incessant rain.
"Miss Ivy, that man seems to be in a dilemma. Shall we help them? If we help him now, he should be grateful to you..."
"No." Ivy waved her hand, with an elegant smile on her lips, "Wait a little longer, I want to see what he can do, and this level of gratitude is really cheap."
"Miss, if he really escapes, then he can't be used by us..."
Ivy slowly stretched out her palm, and the rain dripped on her slender white palm like a hibiscus.
"The person I like, no one can escape from my palm, and he will eventually be used by me."
"But…"
"I have arranged for the army loyal to me to stay on the outskirts of the city for a long time. Now he is a flying insect that has fallen into a cobweb. In the end, everything he has will become my nourishment."
The golden pupils of the elf girl stared straight at Li Ergou's back, her face blushed, thinking that soon, the rebellious black-haired man would kneel in front of her on one knee and kiss her own. Ankle swears allegiance, and Ivy is thrilled.
This has nothing to do with love, and she has no interest in Li Ergou's handsome appearance. What she loves is the ability to help her unify the order of the Western Continent.
Li Ergou is the talent she longs for.
"One day, I will make Western Continent a continent far superior to Eastern Continent, and Ya Yinyue will have to submit to my authority."
The maid Xia Leina's eyes flashed with almost fanatical feelings, and she firmly believed that it would be a matter of time before the Western Continent surpassed the Eastern Continent.
"Okay, Xia Lena, let's go out of the city first, let's wait outside the city for the last good show."
"Yes, Miss."
Ivy walked slowly, steady and graceful, followed by the maid holding an umbrella for her.
The officers stationed at the North City Gate were surprised when they saw the elf girl and the maid behind her. The elf girl gave people a dreamlike and unreal feeling, and the beautiful facial features did not seem to exist in it. A real person in the world, she perfectly inherited the face of the dark elf father and the temperament of the half-blood mother.
Seeing her beauty and graceful steps, the soldiers stood in two rows and saluted:
"Miss Ivy Sylph Lianqing! There is some chaos in the city now. For your safety, I suggest you find a place to hide as soon as possible."
Ivy shook her head and said proudly:
"Open the door."
"But Miss Ivy, this..." The officer was a little embarrassed. "You left the city so late, and you haven't prepared the carriage yet. Where are you going?"
"It doesn't seem like you should be asking, right?" Ivy smiled, but that smile had a chilling force.
"Miss wants to go for a walk outside, this should be enough." Xia Leina said coldly.
"For a walk? But it's raining so hard now, where to..."
Before the words were finished, Xia Leina's sword was already pointed at the officer's nose. That razor-sharp blade was incomparably sharp, as sharp as the sword. It was the gaze of the maid Xia Leina, and the meaning was clearly expressed without speaking— One more word and cut off your nose.
"Miss, let's open the door now."
Ivy twisted the corners of her skirt lightly, and after saluting gracefully, she disappeared at the North City Gate.
Outside the city gate, a group of knights in silver armor, officers from the 3rd Infantry Regiment, the 4th Infantry Regiment, and the mortar company who were supposed to be involved in capturing slaves were standing not far away, standing upright.
The first few men exude a chilling air, which is the temperament of those who have really stepped on the battlefield. Among them are four colonels, a lieutenant colonel, and a major. These big men in the army have seen Miss, it's like seeing the queen.
Among them, the most dignified colonel stepped forward and bowed:
"I'm sorry, Miss. Major General Gabrielle de Gaulle can't come here to meet Miss. After all, the Fars Federation and us are still at war, so he really can't get away."
"It's okay, you are enough, and Uncle Gabrielle is my father's friend, how can I call my uncle at will?" Ivy smiled kindly, "This time, I want to trouble you with one thing. , I believe you will do it perfectly."
"Miss, please speak."
"Soon, there will be a black-haired Dongzhou man and a hazel-haired Sri Lankan woman escaping from the northern gate. I hope you will set up an ambush nearby and capture them alive."
"Capturing two people alive? Is that all there is to it, Miss?"
"I advise you not to underestimate the enemy. That man is my favorite subordinate. I believe in my vision, he will definitely be able to make waves." Ivy said calmly.
Xia Leina frowned. She had said before that Li Ergou was a person with backbone, and a person with backbone was often the hardest to catch alive.
She wanted to persuade the eldest lady to change her strategy, but considering the majesty of the eldest lady, she chose to remain silent.
"Miss, after catching that man, do you have any other orders?"
Ivy walked up to the officers and said in a low voice:
"After that, please take him to the territory of our Lianqing family, and then the knights of our family will come forward to 'rescue' him. In this way, he will be grateful to me for saving his life, and completely change his mind. become my property."
"Understood, Miss."
"That's it, by the way, remember to say hello to Uncle Gabrielle on my behalf. After all, it's a time of war. I hope my uncle can successfully defeat the Fars Lian State and defend the territorial sovereignty of the Kingdom of Shengluer."
Several officers smiled awkwardly:
"Miss, the situation is actually not optimistic... After all, the old king is very old, and our crown prince is that foolish Louis. I really can't imagine how we will defeat the Fars Federation."
chapter 50
After dismounting, looking around at a loss, the battle in the city is drawing to a close, and the unarmed slaves cannot perform miracles in front of the heavily armed soldiers.
Li Ergou took Aishwana's hand and carefully observed the surrounding situation. After seeing no signs of soldiers around, they quietly fled from the main street leading to the city gate to a nearby residential area.
"Second dog, there doesn't seem to be any pursuers around here."
Aishwana whispered.
Li Ergou looked at the exquisite small buildings in the surrounding residential area, and all the doors and windows were closed at this time.
"What are we going to do now? Are you asking for help from the people who live here?"
"Aishwana, the only people who can save us now are ourselves."
Li Ergou would not be stupid enough to knock on the door like other slaves for help. Even if the owner of the house really chooses to take in him and Aishwana, Li Ergou will never agree to it. Who knows it would be a lie Snake or real? What if I open my eyes the next day and are sold?
Moreover, Aishwana looks so beautiful, Li Ergou finds it hard to believe that others will not feel malicious when they see Aishwana's face.
Therefore, according to the current situation, it is the best policy to find a way to leave the city as much as possible.
The city gate is definitely not going through. Just now, Li Ergou estimated the number of enemy troops. According to the number of people guarding the city gate, there are more than 500 people, and there are magicians and knights among them. Judging from their mental outlook, They are definitely much stronger than the enemies they have encountered before. Even if they can break through, Aishwana is likely to be injured. As a man, he can't hurt his woman. This is the bottom line.
"Aishwana, let's hide over the wall and find a way."
"Climb the wall?"
"Yes, over the wall."
Li Ergou bent down and hugged her in a princess hug.
"ah."
"Don't be nervous, it won't let you fall."
Li Ergou glanced at the two-meter-high wall of the house and sneered. A wall of this level can only prevent those clumsy thieves, but it is still a little short of guarding against those who are really skilled.
After picking up Aishwana, Li Ergou used the wall as a fulcrum, kicked hard, and jumped to a tree more than two meters high in a few strokes, and then turned from the tree to the yard of the house and landed easily. .
"In this world, my physical fitness has really improved a lot..."
In the past at Blue Star, Li Ergou was not bad, but if he could maintain such agility while holding Aishwana as a living person, he would be exhausted and out of breath.
But now Li Ergou is not at all tired.
"that…"
"Um?"
"Am I heavy?"
"How could it be," Li Ergou put down Aishwana, "You are as light as goose feathers. In my impression, your figure is the most perfect I have ever seen."
But in fact, in Li Ergou's impression, the girl with the most perfect figure should be his younger sister Li Chuyue.
However, Li Ergou is a person with high emotional intelligence. He knows that what girls hate the most is hearing about other girls from the mouth of his beloved man, so Li Ergou mostly hides his sister's affairs in his heart and never talks to Ai Ergou. Sylvana mentioned her sister's past without even telling her her past life experience or past name.
Those are all in the past. Li Ergou will start a new life from now on. He wants to live for Aishwana, she relies on himself, and he becomes a harbor where she can moor.
Li Ergou took Aishwana's hand to the eaves. The rain had already wet the girl's body. Her hazel hair was sticking to her cheeks. The pea-sized raindrops dripped from the slave clothes, making her look like So pitiful and beautiful.
"Let's take shelter from the rain here first, I'll think of the way, you just need to think in your little head how to live a happy life after we go out, for example, what kind of house do you want to buy? , what kind of wedding you want to hold, and how many children you want after that, you have to think clearly, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Well, that's really something to think about."
Aishwana blushed slightly, imagining the future she was looking forward to...
As for the country, Aishwana has actually stopped thinking about it in her heart. When she forgot her past national hatred and family hatred, it must have started from the moment she fell in love with Li Ergou.
Now, Aishwana's heart has long been occupied by Li Ergou, and there is no room for anything else.
After about twenty minutes, Li Ergou seemed to have dug out something from the yard and returned to Aishwana's side again.
"By the way, Aishwana, are you afraid of heights?"
"Eh? I'm not afraid. The border between our Sri Lanka Kingdom and Dongzhou Kingdom has the highest mountain in the whole continent."
"Don't be afraid of heights."
Li Ergou took out a ten-meter-long thick hemp rope from behind and wrapped it around his arm:
"Aishwana, it's definitely not going to work for us to break through, so the only way I can think of to get out of the city is to climb over the wall."
"Well, Ergou, don't worry, I'm not afraid." Aishwana said firmly.
"Aishwana, the city wall is about eight or nine meters high. If you fall, you will die."
Li Ergou is lying, even if he is eight or nine meters tall, he can still land safely, but he just wants to see if Aishwana is afraid of heights.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid at all."
Aishwana's eyes were firm.
"Okay, let's go then."
Li Ergou once again turned over the small yard with Aishwana on his back, and then moved toward the city wall along the path in the residential area.
The rain slapped the ground tick-tick, and now, apart from the sound of raindrops falling on the stone pavement, there is no other movement. It is estimated that the slaves died at this time, and the captured was captured. I am afraid that the only two left to escape are himself and Aishwana.
After walking for about a few minutes, I finally saw the city wall. There were a small number of soldiers standing on the city wall. On the watchtower of the city wall, I could vaguely see the soldiers' helmets.
If you want to get out of the city wall later, you have to deal with them first.
Li Ergou took out the flintlock pistol he had just seized from the soldiers, although it was a little difficult to aim, and because there was no rifling, the bullet did not have the kind of rotational force, and the effective range of the bullet was not ideal, but Li Ergou Dog has also served as a sniper in the past. When he was at Blue Star, a rich friend once took out a medieval gun for Li Ergou to watch, so Li Ergou was no stranger to these ancient guns.
Moreover, he is also considered lucky. Compared with the 50% firing rate and the firing rate of the arquebus, the flintlock gun is already a relatively stable weapon. The only question now is whether the heavy rain has allowed the gunpowder damp.
Pour the paper-packed gunpowder into the gunpowder pool of the flintlock gun, secure the gunpowder and projectile in the barrel with a slash, and aim.
-boom
The soldier standing on the 20-meter-high watchtower fell in response.
"Very good, it has not been wet for the time being, and it can be used normally."
The surrounding soldiers immediately became vigilant and shouted loudly, Li Ergou had already started the second loading, and muttered at the same time:
"Well, it's such a hassle to reload this **** weapon..."
An ordinary soldier can fire two to three rounds of bullets a minute with this kind of classical weapon, but Li Ergou can fire five rounds of bullets in a minute. Shoot them all.
Fifteen seconds later, reload the bullet and pull the trigger.
Another soldier died in blood.
