Everyone in the Plantagenet family was laughing happily, but then they all suddenly stopped.
The excitement suddenly turned quiet, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose deep in their hearts, as if a chill instantly penetrated their bodies.
They felt that there was something strange about the surrounding environment, which seemed different from usual, but they did not know where this death blow came from.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in confusion for a moment.
I don't know who it was, but he murmured in a low voice: "It's so quiet..."
The rest of the people suddenly woke up and looked around in panic, but found nothing strange. They followed them one by one with bated breath and listened carefully.
Yes, it's really quiet. Extraordinarily quiet.
The originally noisy banquet in the distance had stopped at some point, and the screams of the men and women had disappeared.
There were some insects and crickets singing lowly around the tent. Normally they would make people sleep uneasy all night, but now they disappeared without a trace.
Even the everlasting wind that lingered in the ears on the prairie seemed to have stopped.
Time seemed to have frozen, and the whole world was silent. Silent as if everyone had died. The air was full of depression and dullness.
Everyone in the tent felt as if a big stone was weighing on their hearts.
"What on earth is going on?" Everyone was confused for a moment and looked at each other in surprise and uneasiness.
"What happened?"
Everyone has a premonition that something is going to happen, but they dare not seriously think about what might happen.
They want to find out the answer, but they dare not make a sound, like a lamb standing next to a sleeping lion, for fear that if they make a little noise, the beast will wake up, and then it will pounce and tear them apart.
into pieces.
Everyone's breathing became heavier.
If anyone has ever had the experience of joining the army, they will understand in an instant that it is the calm before the war, the calm before the storm. This is the power being prepared and brewing, gathering strength to deliver a fatal blow.
Behind the calm, there must be a mighty thunder. A fatal blow that turns everyone into powder.
Experienced people will be alert immediately. Even if they cannot escape in time, they can still take some precautions.
It is a pity that these people have been smugglers for many years, and their ancestors have already taken care of it. Most of them are from the wealthy generation who do nothing.
They do not have the courage to pioneer and start a business, the courage to fight for profits bloodyly, and the scheming wisdom of their ancestors.
He would only rest on the merits of his predecessors and enjoy himself, and in the embrace of wine and beauty, he had completely lost his vigilance.
They don't even know how to run the business, only the stewards trained by the family are in charge of it all.
Just when they were terrified, someone discovered that the surroundings seemed to be much brighter without even realizing it.
They couldn't help but feel a little strange: 'What's going on?'
But this did not keep them waiting for too long. After a few seconds, the answer was immediately revealed with a shrill cry.
"It's...it's on fire~!" the voice shouted loudly.
Several more people also shouted, "It's on fire, come and put out the fire."
Everyone was shocked. They looked at each other, and then they all jumped up and rushed towards the entrance of the camp.
They all know that water and fire have no mercy, and once a fire breaks out, it is not something that ordinary people can put out.
The tents here are pitched closely together. As long as the fire breaks out, all the nearby tents will suffer, and no one will be able to run out.
They all had to rush out of the tent to escape the fire.
These people rushed to the door of the tent. Someone opened the curtain and was about to rush out.
Then I heard a low and cold voice from outside: "Fire the arrow~!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of bowstrings.
The sound of "boom, boom" bow strings gathered together, like the sound of a swarm of bees flying.
The sharp arrows tore through the air, emitting a shrill scream, and then penetrated into the target's body. Bright red blood flowers splashed into the sky, blooming under the fiery red firelight, showing a poignant beauty.
color.
At the same time, those sharp arrows even tore open the thick tent and got in unceremoniously.
It immediately caused a mass of horrific casualties.
Several people in the front were hit hard by sharp arrows and immediately flew backwards for several steps. Then they fell on their backs and lay on the ground, motionless.
Through the brighter and brighter firelight, it can be clearly seen that their bodies are like porcupines, covered with dense arrows, and they are even miserable and can no longer be seen in human form.
Smelling the strong smell of blood, everyone couldn't help but feel frightened, and the timid ones started crying on the spot.
This is completely different from how they usually sit in a luxurious living room, holding red wine, holding beautiful women in their arms, talking loudly, planning various conspiracies, and deciding the lives and deaths of others.
At that time, they didn't need to risk their lives. They only needed to pay gold coins, and naturally someone would work for them.
This bloody scene directly impacted their nerves, and some even almost fainted.
They immediately let out bursts of miserable and ear-piercing howls. They were all stunned and didn't know what to do. They were hiding in the tent like headless flies.
Some people were lying on the ground, some were hiding under the table, some were hiding behind others... shouting, wailing, cursing, trembling, and all kinds of ugly things.
When the patriarch of the Plantagenet family saw this situation, he couldn't help being furious. He grabbed the crutch in his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, don't panic~!"
He saw a disciple of a certain clan being so dazed that he even came straight towards him. He immediately became furious, raised his cane, pointed it at the man's head, and knocked it down with his head covered with the ground.
The man was immediately hit on the head and bleeding. He screamed, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.
The patriarch's hand was very strong. Seeing that white stuff seemed to be flowing out from the man's head, the old man vaguely felt that in his anger, he seemed to have struck a bit too hard. The paddle hit the man's head when he fell.
Now that it's out, it's probably more serious than bad.
But at this time, he could only hold on, snorted coldly, and then shouted sternly: "Don't panic, everyone. The fire hasn't burned out yet, so everyone should stay calm. Anyone who runs around and makes trouble again will follow him.
The end~! Block the window, put the table down to block the arrows."
As he spoke, he pointed at the man on the ground.
In his angry roar, everyone woke up one after another.
Although they did not dare to disobey under the patriarch's authority over many years, they still felt flustered when they saw the flames all around and the corpses lying on the ground. Their faces were all pale and their whole bodies were shaking.
The patriarch looked at their appearance and couldn't help but snorted: "A bunch of worthless trash~!"
He paused for a moment, watching everyone seem to be frightened, and like the chicks flying towards the old hen, they came towards him and blocked the road. Then he waved the crutch in his hand and shouted angrily.
: "Get out of here, everyone, and let me go out and take a look~!"
Everyone looked at him anxiously and moved out of the way.
The patriarch snorted coldly, propped up his cane, and then walked to the tent door with steady steps.
Everyone looked at it and couldn't help grinning. The anger was already burning to their eyebrows, but the old guy was still showing off.
They secretly prayed in their hearts: Ancestor, please hurry up. Don't act like a general here, this is fatal! If you hurry up, the whole family will die.
Everyone was so anxious that they almost peeed.
This old man was not trying to show off, he was just trying to appease everyone's mood. If even he panicked and was so busy at this moment, those people would definitely be scared to death again in the next moment.
At this time, the patriarch took a slow step and finally walked to the door.
He did not go out, but stood still and looked out the door.
In the darkness outside the door, countless soldiers saw his appearance and couldn't help but raise their bows and arrows in unison.
The sharp metal at the top of the arrow shone with an icy cold light under the firelight, just like the white snow on the top of the Kalmakaro Snow Mountain.
The patriarch looked at the cold-faced soldiers, and his heart suddenly felt like waves. He finally knew where this death blow came from~!
Really a man from the military.
These people came so fast~!
At the same time, he also felt waves of regret. What Fix said was right! He should really listen to him.
I never took this threat seriously, thinking that it was just a hasty competitor that I just had to suppress.
I just didn't expect that with one wrong step and one wrong step, a stupid young man would actually drive his family to death.
But then he felt relieved again.
These people came so fast. They arrived just as Fix left. It was like thunder and lightning. According to legend, lightning can't cover the ears and steal the bells.
Even if he listened to Fix's words and ordered everyone to evacuate immediately, it would be absolutely too late.
At this time, the fire outside the tent had already soared into the sky, the flames were rising, and the fire was crackling. Standing close, the rolling heat wave was burning, and the sweat was dried before it could flow out.
But the leader of the Plantagenet family stood at the door of the camp, looked at the people outside the tent, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "I am the leader of the Plantagenet family, Poddes, who among you is in charge?"
, can you come out and see me?"
He paused for a moment, saw no one answered, and then said mockingly: "What? You have the guts to attack from behind and do such a despicable thing, but don't you have the guts to meet me, a helpless old man?"
The soldiers suddenly let out an angry and low roar.
The roar was so intimidating that even a hungry lion would tuck its tail between its legs and run away quickly after hearing it.
Poddes's face turned pale, but he still held on, opened his hands, and said: "Come on, you cowards, cowards, and cowards. If you have the guts, shoot all your arrows here.
, if I frown, I’m not a good man~!”
The soldiers' eyes were all red with anger, and their hands holding the bows and arrows couldn't help but move. At that moment, Poddes thought that they would definitely shoot the arrows, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
No more, just waiting to die.
However, these soldiers were obviously elite warriors. Due to strict military discipline, when there was no order, even though they were angered, they still did not release the arrows in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, a tall shadow wearing a cloak walked out of the darkness step by step.
Lorraine slowly came to the opposite side of Poddes, then stood not far away and looked at him coldly.
He has white hair and a thin body. He looks like a retired priest. If you don't know who he is, you can easily think of him as an old man who hands out candies to children on the street.
.
Lorraine's heart couldn't help but soften, but then, the tragic deaths of those seventeen cronies made his heart harden again.
The story of "The Farmer and the Snake" didn't need to go to a specific place, he had already learned it when he was in elementary school. And the cruel society had told Lorraine more than once about the authenticity of this story.
He looked at the other party mockingly and praised: "At such an old age, if you don't go home and take care of your grandson, you still act like a gangster. It's really admirable, old gentleman."
Poddes narrowed his eyes, looked at Lorraine carefully from one glance to the next, and then said in a harsh voice: "It's really you~!"
Then, he raised his hand and shouted loudly: "As a dignified guard officer, you actually lie down on the soldiers and attack behind your back. Don't you think it's despicable?"
Lorraine laughed angrily and said: "You started by making trouble for me and arresting my younger brother. Later, you even killed my people and robbed my goods. You also wanted to kill me. Not only did you provoke a duel by arranging people,
And he also hid an assassin. Don't you think it's despicable and shameful for you, old man? You did the first year of junior high school, and I will do the fifteenth.
You old thing, you are really getting stupider as you live. You are only allowed to harm others, but others are not allowed to harm you? Are you out of your mind?
Do you think you have two penises? If you really do, take off your pants and let the men open their eyes."
The soldiers present suddenly burst out into a burst of ominous and arrogant laughter.
As the leader of the clan, Poddes had never been ridiculed like this before. His old face turned blue and white with anger, and his whole body was trembling.
He trembled, pointed at Lorraine, and said: "You...you..."
Lorraine laughed and said: "What am I? Old man, let me tell you an old saying, you have to pay back as soon as possible when you come out to fool around. No one should think that they are so great. Everyone has one life, even a knife hurts, and a gun hurts.
Even if you beat him, he will die."
After saying that, he raised his hand and shouted coldly: "Everyone is ready~!"
Following his order, all the soldiers raised their bows and arrows in unison and made a "boom" sound.
Podrus was immediately frightened. He knew that as long as Lorraine waved his hand, the soldiers would immediately fire thousands of arrows and kill everyone.
Facing this ruthless gangster, his face turned pale for a moment, and he opened his mouth, unable to say a word.
But suddenly, I felt blessed.
He immediately took half a step back, and then regardless of the honor of the nobles, he knelt down with a bang. He raised the crutch in his hand high above his head and said loudly: "Your Excellency, please show mercy and let us all go."
We are willing to donate half of our family property to provide a way for the next generation of our family to survive."
When the soldiers saw this, they all looked shameless.
Damn it, when did this happen? These damn profiteers, those sons of bitches, are still picking their butts and sucking their fingers, and only use half of their family property to buy their lives.
We have killed you, and if we add another random charge, all your property belongs to us, so why should we leave half of it to you?
Lorraine also frowned and said: "I really don't understand the usurious exploitation of you businessmen. You are going to die soon, and you still want to leave half of your property. Who are you going to spend it on?"
He paused for a moment, looked at the appearance of the old patriarch, sighed, and then said: "Mr. Patriarch, if you weren't so arrogant and maliciously smashed my place, maybe things could be okay between us.
Let's work together.
No one can make enough money. We people can't spend all the money we make. Why should we be too greedy? If we all work together, we can make more money.
Later, when you arrested my people, at that time, if you were sincere and took the initiative, we could still make peace. If we can get along, we can work together. If we can't, we can just do our own thing. The Semitic people are so big, no matter you or I.
Can't eat it.
However, later on, you actually went so far as to kill my people, steal my goods, and even get rid of me. You really took great pains and even arranged assassins.
To be honest, sir, I am one of the top ten young masters of the Semitic tribe. If it were anyone else, my body would probably be cold this time.
If that's the case, then I can only be sorry.
I have always been very timid. If there was an enemy in the world who was always thinking about me, I would not be able to eat well or sleep soundly. I would have to kill him so that I could live a more comfortable life."
All the soldiers in the back couldn't help grinning after hearing this: This boss of mine is really shameless. He actually said these words in such an upright and upright manner. He is indeed an idol of the generation who is popular among thousands of gangsters.
Poddes stretched out his hand and cried out pitifully: "My lord, please."
Lorraine sighed and said: "I'm sorry, we must be honest when we come out to fool around. I have already promised the seventeen brothers who died tragically. I have said that if I want your whole family to die, I have to let them die."
Your whole family will die."
Everyone felt chilled when they heard what Lorraine said. This is the real gangster, ruthless and merciless.
If you say you want to kill the whole family, then kill the whole family, there is no discount at all.
The soldiers thought to themselves: No wonder they are so prosperous and prosperous. Based on the principle of doing what they say, they are a level above others.
After that, Lorraine's famous saying also spread. While everyone was frightened, they also told each other that the gangster was extremely vicious, and if nothing happened, don't mess with him~!
Later, this sentence was borrowed by the bosses of street gangsters. If you don't say it again when you are smashing people, it will seem corny.
Poddes glanced at Lorraine desperately, then his expression suddenly changed, he jumped up from the ground, pointed at Lorraine with a look of resentment, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Okay, okay, in that case, let's fight to the death."
,I curse you..."
As he spoke, the crutch in his right hand hit the ground hard.
A soft "click" sound was heard, and then, a black starlight flashed from the top of the crutch.
Then a scream sounded.
Lorraine knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly flicked her left leg hard and rolled sideways.
Vaguely, I felt a cold wind blowing towards me, as if something had passed by my cheek.
Before he could stand still, he heard a soldier behind him scream, and then rolled to the ground. It was obvious that he had been hit by the hidden weapon.
Lorraine took a breath and then snorted. Fortunately, his skills have improved a lot recently and his reaction speed is faster than before. Otherwise, he might have suffered from this old guy.
Pods revealed his true face at this time. Seeing that he missed a hit, he immediately roared angrily, then waved the crutch in his hand again, aiming at Lorraine.
At this time, an officer nearby saw this and immediately gave an order in a low voice, saying: "Fire the arrow, fire the arrow~! Shoot him to death."
Immediately, a canopy of arrows roared out and accurately hit Poddes' body. He was immediately shot through.
Lorraine could hear the 'pop' sound when the arrow passed through the human body.
Under the huge inertia, the arrow flew Pods backwards and fell to the ground in the tent.
Lorraine got up from the ground and couldn't help but murmured a curse: "These sons of bitches really can't be careless~!"
Then he heard a burst of chaos behind him, and saw several sergeants surrounding the soldier who was shot down, shouting something in a hurry.
Lorraine took a few steps forward, separated from the crowd and took a look, and saw that although the soldier was wearing heavy armor, the hidden weapon still penetrated and pierced the flesh.
Although the vital part was not hit, the wound suddenly turned black and looked shocking. In a short period of time, it had swollen to a huge height. It was obvious that the hidden weapon was coated with poison.
At this time, a witch doctor rushed over, sniffed the hidden weapon seasonedly, and said carelessly, "You can't die." He took out a knife and scissors and began to rescue.
Lorraine looked at it and felt relieved.
At this time, the fire in the Gorse Camp tent became more and more intense. But everyone present, whether officers or soldiers, all looked at the fire in silence and coldness.
If we say that the Plantagenet family ruined the place, instigated patrols and arrested people, and later even killed people, robbed ships and grabbed goods, took the opportunity to provoke a duel with Lorraine, and finally carried out unscrupulous assassinations... and so on, among them,
If anyone still has any sympathy for these people, that trace of sympathy would have disappeared long ago when Poddes took action to assassinate Lorraine.
For such a vicious and evil family, it is better to disappear as soon as possible. Otherwise, there is no telling who will be murdered by them in the future.
Early the next morning, the fire that had burned for half the night had been extinguished. Only a few wisps of faint smoke were still floating on the ruins.
Seeing that the Plantagenet family's tents were all burned to ashes, people couldn't help but wonder and inquire about each other.
The soldiers on guard also had regretful expressions on their faces: Look, look, they just knew how to take advantage of the government and drank alcohol for free, but now they drank too much cat urine, and they didn’t even know that they caught fire.
Everyone was burned to death.
The wonderful Plantagenet family was almost wiped out.
