Chapter 84 Red Pine
On the winding dirt road, two riders are galloping on their horses, rolling up the road soot.

The rider behind suddenly slowed down, and the rider in front noticed the difference and restrained the horse.

The rider in the back simply got off the horse, took an unnatural stance, and led the horse to catch up with the rider in front: "Oh, my lord, I really can't ride anymore, let's go. Take a break. My ass hurts like I've been stabbed by a red-hot iron rod, and my thighs have been ground off a layer of flesh."

"You slacker, this wasteland How can there be a place for you to rest in the wild?" The rider in front scolded his valet: "Don't linger, I'll let you rest when you get back to the manor. Get on the horse quickly, we have to go home before it gets dark."

The old servant heard the loose attitude in the master's words, and screamed while the iron was hot: "Master, we are all here, even if we walk before dark, we will definitely be able to get home. I really can't ride, ouch, My ass is really hurting... why don't you ride first and I'll walk back slowly?"

"Hey, you slacker." Polk served faithfully as a valet. After more than 20 years of Kalman, the two have turned from a good young man into a half-old man with gray temples. Although Karman, the owner of Red Pine Manor, taught a lesson, his attitude softened: "Look at this wilderness, where do you want to rest?"

The old servant Polk was overjoyed, Pointing from a distance: "Look at the smoke behind the woods over there, there must be some hunting master who is resting, let's go ask for saliva, maybe even give me meat to eat."

" Are you greedy for meat? Did I treat you badly?" Kalman scolded with a smile.

Old servant Polk realized that he had leaked his words, and he talked about him, clapping his chest and making a promise: "Let's go and ask for saliva, and after we ask for saliva, we'll go home, and in a second. Don't stop."

After walking through the woods to the place where the smoke was rising, the master and servant realized that they had made a big mistake.

In a small clearing between the woods and the creek, several carts formed a circle around the campfire, and by the campfire a few people were lying on the ground wrapped in cloak and dozing off.

There are two iron pots on the campfire, rumbling and cooking. The smoke that the master and servant saw came from here.

It looks like a normal convoy, but the problem isn't that, it's the people around the campfire.

Walking around in this small camp are brawny men with sailor's machetes, a few lances and muskets are standing casually by the side of the car, the dark red blood on the spear tips is not yet Wipe dry.

Judging from the way Kalman dresses up: these people are goddamn pirates.

The Red Sulphur Island Council acquiesced to pirates to sell off stolen goods, and everyone knew it. Pirates' loot brought prosperity to the island, but the islanders also suffered from pirates.

Pirates are mostly outlaws, and they certainly don't mind doing a side hustle on land if conditions allow. And after committing a crime on land, it is most convenient to get on the boat and escape directly.

Murder cases occur frequently on the Red Sulphur Island, most likely to become unsolved cases, but the residents of the island are well aware that the murderer is a god-killed pirate.

The council has repeatedly claimed to crack down on vicious crimes committed by outsiders on the island. However, the pirates could not grab those high-ranking committee members. On the contrary, selling stolen goods for pirates can make them a lot of money. Therefore, the bandit troubles on the Red Sulphur Island have never been solved.

And now, the pirates have entered the Red Sulphur Island in a grand manner, which makes the civilians on the island trembling in fear.

Poker's face turned pale with fright, and Kalman glared at his old servant fiercely, motioning him to keep quiet and leave quietly.

But it was too late, the pirates in the camp had already discovered the master and servant.

"Hey! Stop!" Someone in the camp shouted.

Karlman jumped into the saddle and stabbed the horse's ribs, and in the blink of an eye, he got into the woods. However, Polk's skills were not as strong as his master's. His movements were a little sluggish, and another person rushing out from behind grabbed the reins of his mount.

Others in the camp immediately gathered around, and the first thing those who had slumbered woke up was to get their weapons.

Kalman, who had run away for some distance, saw that the old servant was caught, and reluctantly turned his head and turned back.

Seeing that he couldn't go away, Kalman took the initiative to dismount and said aloud: "We are just passersby, come to ask for saliva."

Another pirate took him away The reins in his hand pushed Kalman to Poker's side, and a group of pirates vaguely surrounded the master and servant in the middle.

The pirates ignored him. A tall pirate severely reprimanded the pirate who caught Polk: "Why did you send the sentry? Everyone touched the edge of the camp!"

p>

The reprimanded pirate bowed his head in shame.

Seeing this, Kalman secretly guessed that this tall pirate should be the leader of the group, so he mustered up his courage and said to the tall pirate: "We are just passers-by, we want to beg for saliva, we don't mean to disturb, please. Let us go."

The tall pirate gave Kallman a deep look, turned to the campfire without saying a word, and motioned for the two to follow.

Pork was trembling with fright, his jaw clenched tightly, and the muscles on both cheeks bulged out.

Kalman patted the back of the old servant, comforted: "It's okay."

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm not greedy anymore." Polk finally couldn't hold back, Cried with snot and tears.

The master and servant were forced to enter the camp surrounded by carts. A pirate with a toothless tooth who ran out of the car saw the master and servant and walked up to the tall pirate with fierce eyes. The "cut" gesture.

The tall pirate with indifferent expression, bent over and picked up two cups from the campfire and handed them to the two.

"This... what do you mean?" Kalman was a little dizzy.

"Aren't you going to beg for water?"

"Oh, thank you, thank you." After saying thank you, Kalman took the cup, but didn't dare to drink it. On the contrary, the old servant Polk, who was scared to death, took the cup and drank it in one breath.

"Who are you?" the tall pirate asked blankly.

"Passers-by." Kalman replied cautiously: "We are just nearby farmers."

"Do the farmers also have horses to ride?" The tall pirate faintly smiled.

"We are... rich peasants with a little more land." Seeing that the other party did not seem to be bloodthirsty, Kalman gritted his teeth and asked: "Who are you?"

"Me?" The tall pirate smiled: "I am Captain Kidd's Food Requisition Team."

The tension eased a little, and Kalman's thinking ability gradually recovered. Get more information on the physical characteristics of pirate leaders.

Although some black ashes were smeared on his face, the man was very young judging from his voice. His hands were slender and clean, a pair of hands that had not been damaged by rough life. And his teeth, skin, stature... If the pirate with the open tooth is what a pirate should be, then this young man is not like a pirate at all, but a cultivator.

The focus is on his eyes, which are a pair of cold and deep eyes.

Looking at each other, Kalman avoided the other party's line of sight. He explained to himself: If you don't have the ability, can you become a pirate leader at a young age?
Under the scrutiny of the other party, both Kalman and Polk lowered their heads, just as Kalman had the courage to say something.

"Let's go." The pirate leader waved his hand under his hands: "Let them go."

The other pirates looked very unwilling, but when they heard the young pirates order, and handed the reins back to the master and servant to make way for them.

Kalman stepped on his horse in disbelief, hurriedly took off his hat to the pirate leader, and led the old servant to run away desperately. The master and servant looked back as they ran, for fear that there would be chasing soldiers behind.

"I know what you are worried about." After watching the two strangers walk away, the pirate leader said to his men: "But we are not pirates."

 …

Kalman and Polk didn't even dare to slow down the speed of the horse all the way, and desperately urged the mount to run back to the Red Pine Manor.

He strictly ordered his old servant not to tell anyone what happened today. Seeing Polk's startled appearance, Polk wouldn't dare to tell anyone even if he didn't order it.

The gentle Mrs. Kalman saw that her husband was very worried when he came home, but Kalman refused to say it, so she stopped asking.

But even back home, the feeling that his life is in someone else's hands still lingers in Karaman's heart. He called the manor Guard Captain, asked if there was anything special near the manor recently, and repeatedly asked the other party to be vigilant against pirates recently.

The Guard Captain said yes, but he didn't really agree. Pirates are at best Highway Robbery, never brave enough to attack a guarded plantation.

The sky gradually turned completely dark, and the Red Pine Manor fell into sleep.

After finding his matchlock gun and dagger to clean it up, Klarman blew out the candle and climbed into bed.

"Why did you turn the gun out again?" Mrs. Karaman said uncomfortably, and she couldn't help asking: "What happened to you today? Feel ill at ease when you come back."

"I met the council's grain requisition team today. The grain requisition team is full of pirates." Karaman sighed: "There is a war outside, and our home is not safe."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep." Mrs. Karaman didn't know what to do, she could only hold her husband's hand and fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to the sleeping Mrs. Karaman, a squadron is lurking outside the Red Pine Manor, waiting to strike.

In the eyes of the three warrant officers, the plantation owner is one of the two pillars of the federation.

But judging from the information brought back by Bard and Andre, who were in charge of reconnaissance, the defense of this plantation was simply unable to withstand a single blow, and the amount of defensive power was so weak that even three warrant officers find it funny.

The outer wall was just a wooden fence less than a person high, and Bud and Andrea couldn't count a sixth armed guard.

Winters led the remnants of Veneta to ambush outside the manor for a long time without waiting for the patrolling. The night guard seemed to have only one dog.

"I don't think there are night patrols in this place." Andre said in a low voice, "There are only five guards, and he can't even arrange the night shift."

Winters also didn't expect renowned plantation defenses to be so lax, he just found it irritating and funny, thanks to his painstakingly crafting a detailed raid plan.

"Let's do it." Winters said one last time: "The plan remains the same, if someone resists, kill them on the spot. But the owner's family must live."

Bard put Arrows tied with poisonous flesh were fired at the night guards.

The night guard barked a few times before enjoying the feast.

It took a while.

The night guard at Redpine Manor is still alive and kicking.

Andre scolded Gold angrily with his voice down: "[Mood particle profanity], didn't you say this trick is very useful?"

"It's really good! Really! But I used rat poison before, I never used poisonous mushrooms." Gold replied aggrieved.

Andre turned the gun to Bud again: "What's the matter? Didn't you say those mushrooms are particularly poisonous?"

Bud sighed, stood up and opened The bow was like a full moon, and one arrow brought down the night guard of the Red Pine Manor.

"Wouldn't it be over already?" Andre was flustered and exasperated: "What are we doing on the ground for so long?"

"Isn't it what you want? Use poison? Hurry up and get down to business." Winters was helpless: "Don't let anyone go."

Bud led people outside to prevent people from escaping. The guard's residence.

After clearing the five guards, the Veneta soldiers lit the torch and broke into the main house with open fire.

Kalman was awakened by the sound of footsteps downstairs, but before he could make any move, the bedroom door was kicked open, and several people with machetes and torches broke in. .

Kalman couldn't open his eyes due to the light of the fire, but the other party laughed loudly and shouted: "Sir, it's a coincidence, the sparrow that was released actually flew back to our hands."

...

Kalman, the owner of Red Pine Manor, was brought to Winters and glared at the pirate leader in front of him. Kalman asked angrily, "You came here with me, didn't you?"

Winters shook the head: "No, we were going to find the owner of Red Pine Manor."

"It turns out that our family is hard to avoid calamity." Taking time out, the whole person is much older: "money, jewelry, food, you can take whatever you want, but please don't hurt my family."

"No, I'm not here to rob. Winters took the machete back into the scabbard: "You're a doctor, right? I'm here to ask you to save people, and I want to ask you about something. Meet my two requirements, your family, your manor, you The money, will not be a problem."

"There are many good doctors in the Red Sulphur Port, why do you want to come to me? I am the owner of a manor in a remote area, what can you ask me about? You... "Kalman suddenly figured it out, the navy accent, the look that doesn't look like a pirate, the strange grain requisition team, he understands, he understands everything.

Kalman stared wide-eyed, his pupils shrunk, his trembling right hand pointed at Winters' nose: "You...you...you're a Veneta...you're a Veneta officer. …”

Winters slightly p, Win Squad: “Legion, Chief Battallion, First Hundred-Men Commander Hundred-Men Commander Montagne. Nice to meet you, Dr. Kalman.”
