A tacit understanding made Drizzt and Graves suddenly return to ten years ago.
At that time, they cheated people together, robbed people together, fought everything together, and drank and drank together.
At that time, they really shared the blessings and the hardships, and they could give each other their backs without hesitation!
This memory made both of them in a daze at the same time, and even the gang members who surrounded them were no longer concerned by them.
It wasn't until the gang surrounded them in a small circle less than ten meters in diameter that the old pair woke up from their memories.
After scanning the surrounding gang members, Drizzt couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Then he simply collapsed on the ground and said to Graves: "It's over now. The last card to save my life was thrown out by me driven by old habits."
"snort!"
Graves' eyes were complicated and he said forcefully: "I have also been disturbed by my habits! The bullet just now should have been aimed at your head!"
At this time, the surrounding crowd suddenly became silent.
It's like everyone is holding their breath!
The human wall parted, and Planck's figure in a red cloak strode forward!
boom--
While marching, Planck suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and opened fire!
A bullet instantly crossed a distance of less than ten meters, knocking the shotgun out of Graves' hand with a clang.
"What the hell-"
"Shut up!
"
Drizzt immediately stopped, preventing his partner from making a sound.
At the same time, he continued to curse Graves's stupidity helplessly in his heart, which had angered Plank. Was he going to block the last chance of survival?
He also has unrealistic expectations.
Drizzt wants to try to negotiate with Gangplank.
Admit your mistake? Apologize? Promise to surrender?
Or do a few things for the other party to make Gangplank let them go?
In short, the most important thing is to find a way to save his life now. He will have plenty of opportunities to regain his position in the future.
Drizzt thought of many ways in a short time, and tried hard to word it in his mind, hoping to make his plea for mercy more touching.
But!
Unexpected!
However!
"How dare you fucking open fire on me—"
The roar started again, Graves waved his fist, and instantly rushed out with his strong, bear-like body!
Gangplank didn't move, so naturally some gang members stopped him.
Graves punched two gangsters and knocked down the man in front of him to the ground while being beaten.

Letting the fists continue to fall on his body, Graves pressed the gang member below him and punched him hard!
After recovering from his shock, Drizzt almost reflexively wanted to step forward to help.
But as soon as I stood up from the half-kneeling position, I immediately felt a stabbing pain that made my nerves shrink!
It’s those stones that were shot into the legs before!
This made Drizzt couldn't help but secretly curse that idiot Graves again.
In desperation, Drizzt could only watch as the gang members surrounded him and violently pressed him to the ground.
His hands were forcefully clamped behind his back, but Drizzt still tried his best to look in Graves' direction.
What he saw made him not know whether to cry or laugh.
Fortunately, no one is planning to kill Graves immediately.
Unfortunately, Graves' reception was even more brutal!
In just a few moments, the beaten Graves was so bruised and swollen that he was almost unrecognizable.
After another moment, the beating of Graves finally ended.
Graves was kneeling on the ground with his arms crossed.
But he is still dishonest.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the figure in front of him that seemed to be separated by a layer of frosted glass with his eyes that were difficult to focus.
After struggling to take a mouthful of bloody phlegm, Graves taunted with his tongue wide open: "Come again, you bitch! Can you beat someone up?!"
Peng!
Before Graves could see the opponent's movements clearly, he received another heavy punch in the face.
He fell to the ground dizzy, and then severe pain exploded in every joint in his body.
Graves, who was lifted up again, was already somewhat unconscious.
But he still murmured stiffly: "You bastard, my mother... is stronger than you..."
The gangsters want to give Graves another try.
But his movement was stopped by Planck.
Plank glanced in the direction of the city, then waved his hand indifferently: "Go and get ready."
Someone immediately responded and ran out of the crowd.
Soon, a bell rang distantly from the port.
Immediately afterwards, corresponding bells sounded all over the island.
Drunkards, sailors, traders, civilians... everyone on the island was attracted by the sound of the bells and flocked to the port.
Drizzt and Graves were taken to another port, which was the base camp of Planck's fleet.
On the execution platform deep into the sea, the two men were handcuffed and kneeled side by side.
"Do you regret it?"
Drizzt asked in a low voice to Graves beside him.
"I regret!" Graves opened his eyes that were swollen and slit, and he growled with his tongue wide open: "I only regret that I couldn't kill you with my own hands! You abandoned me! You let me almost die in prison!"
"I tried to save you..."
Drizzt finally had a chance to explain. He sighed and shook his head: "I came back and organized all the people who followed us."
"Curt, Wallach, Brick, and the others!"
"But there's not a single one of them left! They're all dead! All because they were trying to save you, a stupid pig!"
"Then! Then you are still alive!"
Graves said harshly: "So you are a coward! That's right! No matter how beautiful your excuse is, it's useless!"
These words seemed to make Drizzt lose his temper.
His shoulders slumped, and his whole person became sluggish.
Because the distance was too close, Graves could clearly see Drizzt's expression even though his eyes were swollen.
He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and was finally willing to recall every explanation Drizzt had given.
After a moment of silence, Drizzt spoke again.
His voice was weak and he said: "We are all going to hell, but it's not just my fault."
Drizzt turned to look at his partner again.
He seemed to be speaking kindly even if he was about to die, and his calm tone made people feel extremely sincere.
"I did not lie to you."
He said: "We did try our best to save you, but it doesn't matter. You can believe these words or not."
After hearing this, Graves was finally shaken!
Looking back on the past ten years ago, he always did things his own way.
And whenever he went too far, it was Drizzt who helped him clean up the mess.
Drizzt always had a way out, and he could always let the two of them escape unscathed time and time again.
But that time in Pilvoorv ten years ago, he didn't listen to Drizzt and retreat because he got too involved in the battle.
So he was caught.
If what Drizzt said was true, wouldn't it mean that other people were really killed by him?
