America 1881: Legend of the West

"Say! Why didn't you stop him?!"

In the camp hall of the Rural Cavalry Patrol, Sergio was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, while looking at his subordinates angrily.

The soldiers under his command did not dare to express their anger and lowered their heads.

He stopped in front of the soldier who had delivered Romero's message.

The soldier felt a cold sweat break out behind him.

"Say! Why didn't you stop him?" Sergio stared at the soldier.

His commander turned into a repeater, and none of these soldiers dared to speak.

"Sir, the young master was possessed by a demon and rushed out with the rope on his shoulder. No one had time to stop him."

In the end, it was vice-captain Pedro who spoke, knowing that he was the only one who could speak now.

"He is ignorant, so are you?" Sergio angrily scolded, "You actually found him a bundle of rope?!"

He turned to Pedro and shouted an order:

"Everyone in the camp, gather as quickly as possible! In two minutes, I will see them fully armed at the gate of the camp!"

The soldiers in the hall rushed out, and Sergio turned to retrieve the lance hanging on the wall.

When his hands touched the spear, he suddenly remembered something.

Sergio turned his head and found that Pedro had not moved, looking a little hesitant.

He frowned: "Why don't you get ready?"

Pedro opened and closed his lips, and finally said: "Sir, I think you are too impulsive."

He looked directly into Sergio's eyes: "Gutierrez must have been prepared. Maybe there will be an ambush. Most of our people are still outside..."

Before he finished speaking, Sergio had already stepped forward and grabbed his collar:

"My brother was kidnapped! Do you think I'm impulsive?!"

"Pedro, listen to me." He glared at the subordinate who followed him through life and death.

"You grew up with me, and I have always regarded you as my brother! Salvador is my brother and your brother. If we can't even protect our own brothers, what's the point of living?"

Pedro said nothing.

Sergio glanced at him, then brushed past him and rushed out the door with his gun in hand.

Pedro sighed and ran out anyway.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, the cavalry in the camp were already in place.

A group of people rushed towards Gutierrez's mansion with whips and hoofs raised.

However, when they arrived at the door of the Governor's Palace, they found that the door was closed.

The area around the mansion was different from usual, there was not a single pedestrian.

Sergio took a deep breath and pulled the reins of the horse under his crotch.

The horse snorted and stomped towards the door of the mansion.

"Gutierrez! Gutierrez!"

Sergio shouted the name of the consul.

An officer in white clothes appeared on the second floor terrace:

"Hey, isn't this Captain Romero? Are you bringing so many people here to call for punishment?"

Alvarez held on to the railing of the terrace, looked down at the cavalry patrol downstairs, and said in a sinister tone.

"Stop pretending, where is my brother? Where did you take him?" Sergio asked sharply with a cold face.

"That's weird. You lost your brother and you came to me for it. What's the point?" Alvarez's tone was very annoying.

"Let me think about it, he may have deceived some girl on the border now." He narrowed his eyes.

"Then I'll pry your mouth open with a gun." Sergio took off the gun from his back and aimed it at Alvarez on the second floor.

"Everyone dismount and prepare to attack the building!" Pedro gave the order to the members of the cavalry patrol behind him.

However, with a crashing sound, a large number of soldiers with guns suddenly appeared from the second and first floors of the mansion, as well as from the roofs of the surrounding adobe houses.

Their guns were all pointed at the members of the cavalry patrol.

A man who looked like an officer appeared next to Gutierrez: "Sergio, please think clearly. If you pull the trigger, you and your brothers will die here."

"Even if you can escape, I still have one or two hundred people waiting for you on your way back!"

Pedro looked back and saw that there were many soldiers standing vaguely on the rooftops on both sides of the road.

If it were just Gutierrez's personal armed forces, there would not be so many people at all.

"Sir, he's right," he whispered to Sergio, "we are surrounded."

"Someone wants to touch the future mistress of our Priego family, and I will be the first to refuse!"

The officer glanced at Alvarez beside him.

The two looked at each other and smiled, extremely proud.

Sergio gritted his teeth.

He is not a reckless man, and his mind has cooled down.

Most of the people on patrol were still outside the city. Gutierrez and the Priego family had united and they were ambushed.

Not only is it impossible for anyone to come today, but I am afraid that I will have to explain myself here.

"Before our master changes his mind, go back to your camp!"

Alvarez said viciously.

He wished he could immediately order the man in front of him to be beaten into a hornet's nest.

However, Gutierrez and Priego Sr. were still concerned about the wedding of their daughter and son in two days, and did not want too many people to die in the city, especially in front of their homes.

So according to them, if Sergio doesn't shoot first, don't do it yet.

Anyway, if the two families unite, the cavalry patrol will not be able to make any trouble.

Let’s wait until the wedding is over.

Sergio put down his gun, turned his horse around without saying a word, and retreated in the direction from which it came.

His face was terrifyingly gloomy.

After returning to the camp, Sergio dived directly into his barracks.

"Pedro, how long will it take for everyone to gather outside the city?" He pulled out the map of Ciudad Juárez from the table and asked without looking up.

"Uh, three days," Pedro replied.

"I'll give you a day and a half. Everyone must return to the city before the weddings of the two families begin."

Sergio found the location of the church and began to study the surrounding terrain.

"Have the weapons and ammunition that Chen promised arrived?" he then asked.

"It was delivered two days ago, but only half of it was delivered. He said the next batch would arrive later."

"That's enough."

Pedro had realized what his commander was going to do, and he still fulfilled the duties of a deputy captain:

"Sir, those two families have united. Their number is at least twice ours. The young master is still in their hands. We have no chance of winning."

"Our original plan was to use the Chinese boss's money and guns to strengthen our power."

He advised earnestly.

He felt there could be other ways to save Romero.

However, Sergio ignored him and just continued to study the map and arrange the raid plan for the wedding day.

Seeing this, Pedro had no choice but to turn around and leave the barracks.

He mounted his horse thoughtfully and prepared to set off to gather the mounted patrols who were still outside the city.

However, he saw Chen Jianqiu and Camilla standing at the corner of the street opposite the camp.

They stood beside their horses and waved to themselves.

Pedro thought for a moment, then dismounted and came to them.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Jianqiu asked, Camilla translated for him, "We just saw it, Sergio must ask you to assemble the troops."

Pedro was stunned at first.

He was shocked by the accuracy of the Chinese businessman's judgment.

But then, his eyes dimmed:

"I will follow him and fight with him!"

"I have been an orphan since I was a child. It was Sergio's father who picked me out of the dead. After his father died, I have been following Sergio."

"I am half Romero and will always follow Sergio."

"What if Sergio dies?" Chen Jianqiu's question was sharp. Camilla paused and looked at Chen Jianqiu with her violet eyes.

Chen Jianqiu nodded, and Camilla translated anyway.

Pedro was silent for a while before replying: "I will die before him!"

Chen Jianqiu shook his head: "The Romero family cannot be extinct! This is not what your master wants to see."

After saying this, he and Camila turned around and left without any explanation.

Pedro was left alone thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla rode out of the alley.

In fact, what Ariana and Romero did shocked Chen Jianqiu.

Therefore, when he heard that Sergio was taking troops to the Gutierrez mansion to rescue people, he quickly rushed over with Camilla, Abiot and the Longxiang team.

If the two sides fight early, he will have to consider whether to risk saving Sergio or change his plan.

In that case, the risk will become uncontrollable.

Therefore, after seeing Sergio coming back safe and sound from a distance, Chen Jianqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked Abiot to take the Longxiang group back first, and he and Camilla arrived at the gate of the patrol camp.

"If you were Gutierrez, what would you have done just now?" Camila looked at Chen Jianqiu and asked.

"I would not hesitate to ask Alvarez to launch an ambush and kill a living person.

I won't stay, and then use Master Romero to trap and kill the remaining members of the Mounted Patrol, even if the day after tomorrow is my daughter's wedding. "

"What if you were Sergio?"

Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment and replied: "Perhaps, I will rush in to save my brother like him."

The two rode horses towards the valley outside the city.

And not far from them, in the headquarters of the Crocodile Gang.

The second boss is leading the crocodile gang to distribute new weapons to the crowd, and they have already made a plan.

That is: assemble, rush, rob, and set fire.

These people are going to send a "wedding gift" to the two newlyweds and their families on the day after tomorrow, the big day for the two big families.
