Chapter 259 Fierce battle at the pier

When Rhodes walked outside the shed, he saw Quentin running over with a big hammer.

"I've completely solved it, even the bones have been turned into ashes." Rhodes said.

"That's good." Quentin stopped. "Those people have all arrived on my ship, and I will transport them to your territory. Remember to perform with me when the time comes."

"In order to dispel their doubts?" Rhodes asked.

"Yes." Quentin nodded, "I see that they seem a little worried that you will know that they were slaves before, so you will treat them as serfs."

"Have you thought about how to tell them?" Rhodes asked again.

"Think about it." Quentin nodded and replied, "I will ask one of my nephews to send you back in a boat first, and we will go to your territory after you go back."

"Then send me back now." Rhode felt that Quentin's idea still made sense.

Quentin glanced at Rhodes, "You change your clothes before going to the pier, the bloody smell on your body is a bit heavy now."

……

Quentin came to the pier and saw that his boat was full of people, and the young crew members stood by to maintain order and ensure that those people could get on the boat safely.

"Uncle, you are finally back. I feel that there may not be enough seats on the ship, isn't it..." A young sailor with freckles came over and said, and Quentin interrupted him in the middle of his sentence.

"How many times have I told you to call me the captain. The cabin is not enough, so let them stand on the deck. Anyway, we only need to send them to the other side of the river. There is no danger at such a short distance."

"But there is no port on the other side of the river where a ship like ours can dock," said the young sailor again.

"We can stop at a location not far from the shore, and use a small boat to slowly send them there." Quentin waved his hand, "Okay, these are all issues for me to consider, and you still have to find a way to get them all on board." ship."

After Quentin finished speaking, he walked towards those who had just come out by him.

"Everyone line up, don't squeeze!" he shouted. "I'll send you all to the other side of the river later. I know the lord there, and I will explain your identities to him!"

"After the lord knows our identities, he won't treat us all as serfs, will he? If that's the case, it doesn't make sense for me to escape from there." A muscular man with short hair in the crowd said the young man loudly.

"No, don't worry about this, I will tell him that you all escaped from the south because of the plague." Quentin explained loudly again.

"But if this is the case, then we are refugees without land, and we will be serfs when we go to other lords." The young man said loudly again, "Why don't we go home."

Quentin hesitated for a while and then shouted to the crowd, "I can assure you that when you get there, you will be treated like free people. As long as you are willing to stay there, you can get your own land. If you If you want to go home now, I will not stop you!"

In fact, he didn't have much confidence in saying this. He didn't know whether Rhodes would keep his promise. Although he was still willing to believe Rhodes, those people who made promises so swearingly made them treat their words like fart in the end , he has seen too much.

After hearing Quentin's words, nearly half of the people showed hesitation.

Many people thought that as long as they escaped from those slave traders, they would have no problem surviving in this city.

Men can stay on the docks as porters or run ships with others, and women have no problem working as maids in taverns or doing other jobs.

Rhode, who was standing aside, was speechless after hearing Quentin's words. Quentin's words were too early.

It would be fine if these people chose to go home, but if they chose to stay in this city instead of going to his territory with Quentin, then he would have been busy for most of the day.

At this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound from the surroundings. A young nobleman with a mustache on a horse came to the pier with nearly a hundred family soldiers in steel armor.

Next to the nobleman stood a fat middle-aged man dressed as a businessman who looked very wretched.

"I just said that I saw our goods run towards the dock with my own eyes." The middle-aged man said to the nobleman on the horse. He didn't help host the auction because of something, and when he arrived at the shed Seeing the slaves running out of it, after figuring out where the slaves were going, he hurriedly went to the nobleman who had colluded with them a lot for help.

The nobleman nodded and gave orders to the surrounding soldiers, "Take them all back, and kill them if they dare to resist. Remember to order that ship for me too."

Quentin panicked when he saw the soldiers rushing towards them aggressively.

"Get on board!" he yelled loudly.

The men and women beside the boat rushed to the boat without Quentin's reminder.

Quentin picked up a stick and met the group of soldiers rushing forward.

While deftly dodging the soldier's steel sword, he slammed the wooden stick at a soldier.

The wooden stick hit the soldier's steel armor heavily, the fragile wooden stick shattered directly, and the soldier was only slightly injured.

With the cooperation of several soldiers, Quentin retreated in embarrassment.

Rhodes was glad that he didn't leave, but chose to come here to see the situation.

He took out his two-handed sword and rushed in front of the group of soldiers.

This nobleman should be the backer of those slave traders, otherwise they would not be able to do such business in the city, and this nobleman also got a lot of benefits from it, otherwise he must have no money to form such a well-equipped family Soldier.

Rhodes had exhausted his internal energy and magic power before, but he still had no problem dealing with these soldiers, and his magic power had recovered by half, and he didn't know why his magic power recovery speed was much faster than ordinary people.

He stood in front of this group of soldiers, and if he wanted to pass here, he could only kill Rhodes or jump off the pier and swim across the river.

Several soldiers attacked Rhodes in coordination.

After learning Dugu Nine Swords, these soldiers were full of flaws in front of Rhodes.

A few sword lights flashed across, and the hands of these soldiers holding the swords fell to the ground.

"Ah!" These soldiers cried out in pain while clutching their arms.

Rhodes showed no mercy, and the next moment, he chopped off the heads of these soldiers with a whirlwind.

He slashed left and right, and began to kill the soldiers in front of him.

The young nobleman not far away was a little panicked when he saw his subordinates constantly falling down, and he had the idea of ​​fleeing in his heart.

"My lord, let's go." The fat slave trader said with a trembling voice.

"This is the Kingdom of Nord, and I am a nobleman of the Kingdom of Nord, and this is still in the city, he dare not kill me." The young nobleman took a deep breath and forced himself to regain his composure, "At worst, I surrender to him, I brought enough ransom."

The slave trader looked at the noble with some surprise, "My lord, I think he will definitely not accept your ransom, he will kill us all directly, let's run quickly."

"No, I won't run away, I can't let my father and my brothers look down on me." The young nobleman said righteously.

Slave merchant He Wuyu, at that time he valued the high status of this noble, but his brain was not very good, so he chose to cooperate with him. Other nobles are very sensible, and they don’t want to ruin their reputation or be confiscated directly because of this benefit Titles and fiefs, after all, such things are illegal, and most nobles want to do it but dare not.

"If you don't run now, your father won't be able to save you, and this isn't an escape, it's called a retreat." The slave trader continued to persuade him that he wanted to escape, but if the nobleman died here, he would definitely be killed. People were hanged.

The young nobleman nodded, turned his horse and ran back...
