Chapter twenty-four, betrayal

Although Ma Xiu thought it was very strange, he didn't think much about it. Just as all animals would return to their nests to lick their wounds after being injured, he was eager to return to his residence.

The prosperous places of Lorraine's towns are like light, but there is darkness in places with light. On the two shabby alleys on the back of the street, there are places where poor civilians and fugitives who fled from the noble territory gather. Therefore, this place belongs to the three-in-one area, killing, theft, and kidnapping have become commonplace.

"It's still familiar here." But for people like Ma Xiu, this lawless place in the eyes of law-abiding people is the home he grew up in. Every shabby alley and every villain hiding in the dark corner is his familiar family.

However, when Ma Xiu was about to return to his simple and dirty residence, his steps stopped because he saw that although the door of his house was closed, an inconspicuous linen strip that he deliberately placed on the ground moved.

"It's that bastard who is not open, who dares to cause trouble for me?" Ma Xiu thought viciously in his heart, and took out a dagger from his waist, took out a transformation cane with his other hand, and survived on this evil land. Ma Xiu remembers the first precept, that is, he must be ruthless enough so that others can be afraid of you.

"Table." Ma Xiu kicked open the door and rushed into his house, but what he didn't expect was that he saw was neither a thief trying to steal nor a villain who wanted to enhance his reputation.

"Ma Xiu, are you doing a pretty good job?" The person standing in Ma Xiu's house was actually the recorder of the guild leader Nord. He turned his back to the simple fireplace that had been cold in Ma Xiu's house, and said to Ma Xiu with a frown.

"What are you doing here?" Ma Xiu also frowned. He put away his dagger, but the transformation cane did not put away.

"It seems that Lord Rudolph is very satisfied with you. Mr. Nord wants to ask you how you did it?" The recorder's mouth moved, and he slowly walked to Maxiu with his hands behind his back and said to him.

"I was caught, but this noble did nothing to me. You should have seen the rest." Maxiu lowered his head and looked at the tip of his hairy boots, and he said to the recorder.

"So, what did you find out from Rudolph?" the recorder asked casually.

"There is nothing. They have two hounds, damn it, they are like devils." Maxiu said to the recorder.

"Hunter, yes, hound, why didn't we expect it?" The recorder smashed his mouth, his expression like an adult watching a child lie.

"This is true, I didn't lie." Ma Xiu was angry. He was clearly telling the truth, but the other party didn't believe it at all.

"I understand. I will report what you said to Mr. Nord, and you can explain it to him later!" The recorder walked out of the house after saying that to Ma Xiu. Ma Xiu snorted coldly. He was not afraid of this flatterer.

Just as Ma Xiu walked to the simple wooden table in the house and was about to pick up the earthen kettle to drink water, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the door. Ma Xiu instantly determined that five adult men were approaching him.

"Damn." Maxiu was not a fool. He immediately understood that Nord had planned to kill himself before sending the recorder. He immediately grabbed the modification cane on the table.

"Around him quickly, you go to the back door to guard it." The recorder directed five villains to surround Maxiu's residence. The villains all showed hideous faces. They were wearing leather jackets, but round iron nails were nailed on the outside of the jackets, and some people nailed iron sheets on the lining of the jackets, and their hands were holding daggers or modified canes.

"Crazy." But what they didn't expect was that Ma Xiu broke out from the window, and fragments of the wooden window splashed everywhere.

"It's time to curse, don't let him run away." The recorder shouted loudly, and the villains rushed forward, but Ma Xiu was a good player in street fighting since childhood. He ran while searching for a narrow area.

"Come on, you shit eaters." Ma Xiu roared and turned to face the villains chasing him. These villains were stopped by the narrow alley and could only attack Ma Xiu one by one.

"Puff~~." Maxiu's cane hit a villain's face, and the villain's teeth shattered, his mouth was covered in blood, and his head hit the wall and collapsed on the ground.

The villains' sticks looked like an ordinary wooden stick from the outside, but in fact they had already been hollowed out inside, and then tin was injected into it. They were quite heavy in their hands, and were a good weapon for fighting and assassination.

"Puff~~." A chicken bone was spit out from Rudolph's mouth. This pheasant was hunted from the woods by the dog trainer Lingen. Not to mention training two hunting dogs, it is quite useful when marching in the wild.

"Not bad, I didn't expect the chicken that was roasted directly was delicious." Rudolph wiped his greasy hands with satisfaction, and found a thorn on the thorn to pick the gap between his teeth.

"Sir Rudolph, how long will we stay here?" Sergeant Taylor looked at Rudolph with an impatient look on his face. At this speed, it would probably take several years to suppress the rebellion.

"Soon, as long as we make enough money, we can form an army. Will the fight against the rebellion be solved soon?" Rudolph was in a good mood, and he said to Taylor.

"God bless, maybe we have to wait until the end of the day." Taylor rolled his eyes, and the words of Earl Schwartz once again rang in his ears before leaving.

"Taylor, you're a pessimist." Rudolph smiled, not caring whether Taylor understood the meaning of the word.

"Sir Rudolph, he is back." At this moment, the tent was unveiled, and the mercenary Rodney said to the two inside.

"What, are you back?" Rodney looked surprised. He had no idea that the spy who had taken Rudolph's money and was released would come back to find them.

"Okay, it's time to go and have a look." Rudolph stood up with a smile, clapped his hands, and said to the surprised Rodney beside him.

Maxiu ran towards Rudolph's camp in a panic. The villains behind him chased him reluctantly. His left hand was cut and blood ticked on the ground from the wound.

"Hu, huh, I won't die, I won't die." Ma Xiu was gasping as he ran. His right leg was hit by a cane. The huge pain tortured him, but the desire to survive made him dare not stop.

"Catch him." The villains chased him reluctantly. The guild leader Nord gave a generous bounty, enough for their half-year expenses. In order to make the bounty, they had to kill Ma Xiu.

"Help, save me." Maxiu came to the camp where Rudolph was stationed with his memory. He raised his red-colored hand and shouted loudly to the people in the camp.

"Rodney goes and kill those people behind." Rudolph stood in the camp, looking at Maxiu who was asking for help from him, and ordered Rodney.

"Yes, Lord Rudolph." Rodry nodded at Rudolph, then signaled to his companions, and several mercenary cavalry immediately turned over to their horses.

"Huh, Huh, Huh." Ma Xiu felt his eyes dizzy. He knelt on the grass, and the villains chasing behind him were getting closer and closer. He could even see the sharp iron blades of the daggers they held high.

"Grey Rule~~, drive it." Suddenly, a war horse neighed, and then five horses blew past him like the wind.

"Well." Maxiu raised his head hard and saw Rodney holding the short spear in his hand and leading four mercenary cavalry toward the villains. The villains, who were originally vicious, suddenly seemed like a frightened duck fleeing everywhere when they saw the cavalry rushing, but Rodney and others would not let it go easily.

"Go to it~~~." Rodney tightened the short spear in his hand, and pointed the tip of the spear at his back as soon as he rushed to a villain, and stretched it out fiercely.

"Wow~~." The spear stabbed the villain in the back, and the other party screamed and threw himself on the ground.

"It's great, saved." Seeing this scene, Ma Xiu's heart finally relaxed. At this moment, he felt tired all over his body, and his body suddenly became weak and he was completely unconscious.
