Lord of War

Chapter 771 Delayed Execution Date

Seeing Richard kneeling down with blood, there was an uproar in the audience. All the members of the Bloodshed Blade stood up and rushed towards the ring like a tide, all with a bad face. But before arriving at the ring, he suddenly saw Richard raise his hand and then shouted, "What are you going to do?" Do you want others to see my jokes?"

After saying that, Richard looked at Zero with a smile, but his smile was a little reluctant.

Didi——

Something dripped into the ring and made a soft noise. Only then did someone notice that a blood line on Zero's right hand kept spreading down and a blood pit dripped at his feet. It turned out that he was also injured. Seeing this situation, the members of the Bloodshed Blade were relieved. I don't know who shouted "equality" and followed the call for a draw.

It seemed that Richard was tied without losing, and their faces also felt light. But they forgot that in the past ten years, no one has been able to force Richard to draw. In fact, for Richard, there is no difference between a draw and a loss.

But for Zero, this is the result he needs. If he wins Richard, he will be too popular and bound to be suspicious. But if he loses, Richard will not recognize his strength, and naturally he will not be interested in the transaction he just proposed. Therefore, the draw is the best result at present. Of course, this situation was also deliberately created by him.

Richard has not yet been qualified to hurt him, or let him suffer such obvious harm. At least before he came up with the ability to kill crazily, Richard was not enough to hurt him. The wound on the right hand was made by zero. The method is not troublesome, but deliberately hurt the surface of the arm. It seems serious, but in fact it is only a minor injury.

At the end of the battle, several families were happy and several families were sad. One of the few people who bet on zero naturally gets a huge return, and those who bet on Raymond certainly don't make money, but the battles in the fighting arena are broadcast in real time in bars in the free zone, so that those who bet can see the results as soon as possible. So when people saw a wonderful battle, they had nothing to say.

What's more, Richard came down in person and could see the battle of the madman, and those who bet on Raymond did not feel any shock.

Richard looked at the scar on his chest, which was about ten centimeters long, rolled out, and still with blood beads. But the wound is not deep, at least it does not hurt the internal organs. If the wound goes deeper and deeper, Richard may explain it tonight. When he looked at Zero, he wondered whether the man deliberately shifted the wound, otherwise how could there be such a light and serious injury?

There was no time for him to deliberate. Now that the battle is over, the soldiers in charge of law enforcement will naturally come forward. But they gave enough respect to the zero that could be tied with Richard. First, bandage Zero's arm to stop bleeding, and then ask him to leave. Before leaving the arena with the soldiers, Zero did not forget to wink at Richard. As for what this look means, naturally it can only be clear.

When I walked out of the fighting arena, the residents in the city who heard the news had rushed to the vicinity of the fighting arena. Seeing Zero coming out, these people actually cheered at his market, and suddenly their voices were louder than waves, and some people even shouted his name excitedly.

Of course, they will only scream "Raphae".

Under this incomprehensible frenzy, Zero was taken to an armored vehicle. There were four armed soldiers in the car, but even so, when they looked at Zero, their expressions were still extremely nervous. Zero relaxed, and then he was taken to Thebis prison, and everything was going according to his plan. He closed his eyes and quietly waited for the reunion with Cinderila.

To his surprise, in the end, the armored vehicle did not reach the big prison, not even go to the ground military base, but drove into the city defense department. The car stopped in a small square, and the soldiers on the car politely asked for zero. Nominal, Zero is already a prisoner, but he has not been shacked, which gives him enough face. Led by several soldiers, Zero came to an office.

One of the soldiers said to him, "Mr. Rafael, please wait here for a while. We have just received a notice that Colonel Clapper will come to see you in person. Oh, by the way, he is the adjutant of Warden Shearer!"

Zero frowned slightly and said, "I thought I was going straight to Thebis prison."

"It was supposed to be like this according to the procedure, but tonight seems to be a little special." The soldier shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sorry, I don't know much. I'd better talk to you in person when Colonel Clough comes.

There have been some deviations in the plan. Originally, people were killed in the battle and should be sent directly to Biss prison. Now the soldiers have taken him to the city defense department, and there is another Colonel Crawber to see him. No matter how you look at it, this is not like a normal program. If so, it can only explain two possibilities. One is what's wrong with the Thebis prison itself; the second is that his identity may have been leaked.

However, the second possibility is unlikely. After all, Rafael's identity is provided by the Dark Brotherhood. At this juke, the fraternity, which has become water and fire with Sauron, has no reason to hold him back on this matter.

When he closed his eyes to elaborate on the cause of the matter, Zero finally heard footsteps outside. The footsteps showed several people, one of whom had a stable pace and a small voice. Obviously, he was a good player. Then the door of the office was pushed open, and eight soldiers poured in and stood in two rows to salute. Then a male officer in his thirties came in. As soon as he came in, he met Zero with a quite enthusiastic attitude.

He opened his hand and shouted, "This must be Mr. Raphael, who is now a celebrity. It's just that the first day I arrived, I tied with the madman Richard, which was really surprising!"

Zero said perfunctorily: "It's just a fluke."

Clouber patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "Indeed, you don't know the details of Richard. Overall, you are very lucky, Mr. Rafa. It ended the battle before Richard really went crazy. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can stand in front of me now.

But no matter what, luck is also a kind of strength. And I like lucky people, and I hope you can bring me good luck. Clauber smiled and said, "According to the normal procedure, now we have to invite Mr. Raphael to our Thebus prison as a guest. However, with Mr. Rafael's performance today, I have made a decision on behalf of the warden. Mr. Rafael can leave after paying the ransom directly here. You don't have to go to our big prison again. What do you think?

People have said so, can Zero still persist? It's just that he doesn't know what prompted the big prison to change the procedure. Is it just because of the battle with Richard?

The next procedure is much simpler. At Clawber's behested, the soldier used his brain to transfer Raymond's credit points to the zero account and deducted 10,000 credit points from the zero account as a ransom. After deducting the ransom, there are still 290,000 credit points left, which is a huge amount of money.

When going through the formalities, Clauber left first with an important matter. Then don't leave and focus on him. Unexpectedly, I heard Clawber leave the office and seemed to be talking to someone outside.

The person who talked with the colonel seemed to be surprised by Clapper's arrival. Although the two lowered their voices, they could not hide their eyes and ears.

I only heard a strange voice say, "Coloner, why did you come in person?"

"It's okay if you don't come. Just came the news from Rome that Lord Sauron would postpone the execution of the important prisoner at the bottom for a few days, so many arrangements need to be reconsidered.

"Postponing the execution? Why?"

"How can small people like us know, and it's not our turn to care about these things. Just do our own things well. Anyway, I will be very busy in the next few days, and the city will leave it to you. You have to keep an eye on those guys and don't let them do anything at this critical moment. And tell Wallace to keep a low profile during this period and don't provoke the madman or black wings. Anyway, after the execution, let him do whatever he wants to do.

"I understand. Oh, the colonel should have met Rafael.

"I just saw it. What's wrong?"

"He can equal Richard. Should we consider absorbing him, just like Wallace?"

Clauber seemed to think for a while before saying, "This can be considered. After all, it is not a good trend to make Wallace dominant. However, let's wait until after this period of time.

"Yes, I know what to do."

Then footsteps sounded, and Colonel Clapper and his guard left. But the next moment, someone pushed the door in. The soldier who was going through the formalities for Zero immediately saluted the man and said, "Good evening, Chief of Defense Veitch!"

This is a man in his forties, with a loose abdominal muscles and a blue-black color in his eyes. The energy of the body is very faint. Obviously, he is a person who has been immersed in wine for many years and has already been hollowed out by those things.

Vitch, the chief of defense of Sin City, is also the largest official in the city. After squeezing out a smile and a burst of greetings, the soldiers sent him back. After sending zero away, Veitch sighed and said, "There are more and more difficult characters like this. There used to be Richard, Wallace and Black Wings, but now there is another Rafael. In a few days, it will be the execution day of the important criminal. Why do I feel that the position of the chief of defense is almost out of prison?

Zero did not hear Veitch's sigh, but like Veitch, he was also slightly disappointed. From Clauber's words, it seemed that something had happened in Rome, which delayed Sauron's execution. In this way, the prison in Thebeth has to be rearranged. During this important period of arranging defense, naturally, outsiders will not be allowed to enter at will, so the wishful plan at midnight failed.

Missing tonight, he had to find a way to sneak into the Great Prison of Thebis again. What should I do? After thinking about it, it finally fell on Richard and Gordon and the others.

Judging from today's contact, the seemingly useless old man Gordon is obviously not as simple as the surface, and the madman is not willing to be lonely in his bones. More importantly, they are the local snakes of Sin City. Zero can't clap. If you want to do something, I'm afraid you have to cooperate with these two people.

Back in the city, as soon as he got off the car, Zero noticed that the people wandering around were all members of the Blood Blade. After the armored car left, several big men gathered around and said respectfully, "Mr. Raphael, our boss wants to see you. He is now in the leap horse bar."

Seeing a doubtful expression on Ling's face, the big man who talked to him said, "Well, after you leave. Our boss saw that the military's vehicles were not heading for Thebis prison, but to the city defense department. So the boss guessed that you would be back soon. He said that it was the first time in several years that he had been so painful. When you come back, he must buy you a drink.

"So that's it. Let's go." It's okay to think about it. Let's talk about the cooperation tonight while the iron is hot.

The Yuema Bar was brightly lit. Although it was late at night, something so sensational happened at night, and the drinkers were not sleepy. What's more, these guys will not leave until the restricted time of the next day, so every night, the free zone is always extremely lively.

However, what is different from before is that the jumping horse bar is full of bloody blades, and other people can't enter at all. The bar has basically been reserved for the Blade of Blood, and now there is only one outsider who can sit in the bar.

In the box where he chatted with Zero, Richard drank silently, and Gordon sat aside without saying anything. The dull atmosphere in the box and the outside are just like two worlds. After a long time, Richard said, "Who is he?"

"I don't know who it is, but I'm sure that he is definitely not Lafayette." Gordon yawned.

"Of course, it won't be Rafael's soft egg. If he was really Rafael, Raymond wouldn't have lost so fast and miserable!" Richard sneered.

Gaoden spread out his hands and said, "Then what do you decide to do? Report to the military?"

"I'm not the loyal dog of Wallace. Why should I please the military?" Richard sneered: "It doesn't matter to me who he is. The important thing is that he can make my dull life wonderful, which is enough.

"Crazy." Gao Deng sighed.

Richard stared at him fiercely and said, "What about you? Aren't you going to reveal anything to the Black Wing?"

"You are his father. Maybe this information can make the military look at the black wing differently."

Gordon raised his head and sneered, "If Black Wing wants to join the military, how can he get Wallace? Save it. He is not interested in these things at all.

"Of course, he is most interested in Sauron, right?"

Gaoden's face changed slightly and did not answer.

I heard that an important criminal will be executed here in a few days. At that time, Sauron may appear, and your baby son may start a fire in the city first.

"No matter what he wants to do, I support him." Gordon said silently.

Richard seemed to feel bored and yawned, "Why is it so slow? Didn't you say that the military's vehicles drove to the city defense department? In this way, our dear Mr. Rafi should have been put back. You know, old man, he wants me to rebel, what an interesting guy.

"In my opinion, the madman is not like a submissive, so rebellion is not a big fuss, is it?" He pushed the door in and took the last sentence of the inspection.

Richard's eyes lit up and said, "You are the first person to call me crazy in front of you, and I don't want to beat you for the time being."

"Doesn't that have to be celebrated?" Zero was not polite. He directly picked up a bottle of beer and opened it, and then the bottle met Richard and took another sip.

Swallowing a mouthful of wine foam, Richard wiped his mouth and grinned, "Now it's time to reveal something to us, right? Mr. Rafael, this is the cornerstone of cooperation. If you don't want to say it, let's pat our ass.

When Zero came to the bar, he already had something in his mind. He knew that it would only be counterproductive to impress a madman to cover up such a person, so he simply said, "As I told you in the ring before, I'm here to save people. Yes, the friend I want to save is the prisoner that Sauron is going to be publicly executed!"

Gao Deng let go of his hand, and the wine bottle almost fell to the ground. Richard next to him caught him casually and stared at him and said, "You are really old. It's worth a fussing about such a thing."

Gaoden gave him a look back and then said back and forth with a wry smile, "That's all? This doesn't look like a trivial matter anyway.

He looked at Zero again and said, "Now we are more and more curious about your identity. Who the hell are you? How dare you sneak in alone and rescue the person executed by Sauron?"

"I'm zero. If you have heard about the recent defeat of the Pope's Hall by invaders from the south, then you should know me. Because I am the leader of the invaders. So now, can I trust you?" He looked at the two people indifferently.

Richard didn't seem to know what was going on outside. He looked at Gordon for advice. Gordon opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide. After a long time, he came to his senses and suddenly grabbed the wine bottle from Richard's hand, and then poured the remaining half of the bottle of wine into his stomach. The Richard next to him was stunned and said, "Old man, do you want to drink like this?"

Gaoden wiped the bar, shook his head and smiled, "If you know who he is, then you should know. After listening to his words, we are actually on the line. If we don't want to cooperate with you, I'm afraid you will kill us on the spot now, right? Lord Zero, the leader of the Neptune?

"Cinderella is very important to me, and I don't want Sauron to know the current situation. So if necessary, I will!" Zero-pointed.

Richard said wildly, "Old Gordon, if you don't explain to me what's going on, believe it or not, I'll tear down your old bone!"

Gao Deng glanced at him and said, "Who let you usually only know how to fight and drink and don't care about what's going on in the outside world?" Now I regret it. I don't even know who is sitting in front of me.

Seeing that Richard's forehead had blue veins, Gordon gave up the idea of continuing to whet his appetite, and hit the Nepion from the Roaring Bay to the Cannon Fortress, and then pushed north from the blood-stained road, and told a rough story about the Pope's Hall. At this time, Richard knew who he had lost.
