Alien Knights

Chapter 282: Prelude to flight

At dinner, Ackerman broke the rye bread into the hot soup, and said to Todd: "Boss, you really don't consider my suggestion?"

Todd squinted at him and said nothing.

Regarding the title of boss, Todd has opposed it several times, saying that it sounds like a bandit, but other people use it too much, so he acquiesced.

Seeing that Todd didn’t respond, Ackerman became anxious: “Think about it. From the beginning to the present, every class you take is free! Even if the class is free, you can make fake blood materials by yourself. Pay for it! In fact, with so many gladiators, as long as everyone receives a little money, we will make a lot of money!"

Casper added a branch to the bonfire and glared at Ackerman and said: "Many people can't even eat enough to eat, you let them pay?!"

The latter protested: "But anyway, it's too much to provide it for free... I heard that some gladiators got the fake blood we provided and sold it at a high price."

Casper scratched his head when he heard this, and felt something was wrong.

"Form an association." Todd looked at the burning branches in the fire and said calmly: "Similar to a union, mainly responsible for the daily affairs of gladiators."

Casper was a little puzzled: "The association is aimed at merchants and craftsmen, and does not have much binding force. For those unruly gladiators, why can't you lead them to establish a semi-militarized armed force?"

Todd didn't even think about it, and directly rejected the offer: "If I dare to do this in the arena, I'm afraid I will soon meet the army that destroys me."

Ackerman thought for a while and said: "That's right. But if you want to establish an association, then you must set a threshold for those who join."

Todd nodded.

Ackerman began to count the conditions with his fingers: "First, the person who joins must be single-minded. After joining the association, they can no longer remain in the original faction; second, the person who joins must be loyal and past. People who have committed crimes like betrayal should not be accepted."

Todd pondered for a while, and added: "One more thing. Joiners must be slaves who have lost their freedom. Those who voluntarily join the arena for any reason are not allowed to join the association."

Ackerman and Casper looked at each other. They were a little puzzled as to why Todd would offer such a condition, but in the end they nodded and said yes.

"There is one last thing." Ackerman put down the wooden bowl, his face was full of excitement: "This Gladiator Association must be given a resounding name."

Todd said with a bit of a headache: "Name?"

Ackerman raised his hand high: "What will happen to the champion? It just fits the identity of Lord Boyle Red Champion!"

Todd rejected the plan with a smile: "Like the principle of establishing a militarized force, this proposal cannot be adopted. This name is too ostentatious and will cause us unnecessary trouble."

Ackerman shrugged helplessly: "Really? I have always liked this name, so what should I call it?"

Stepping on the blood-stained land under his feet and looking at the red branches burning in the campfire, Todd suddenly said, "Let's call it redbranch."

After dinner, I finalized some details of the Red Branch Gladiator Association with Ackerman and Casper. Todd handed over the remaining contact matters to the two of them, and went to the prison area on the basement floor to visit Boyle. Of the people.

Seeing the arrival of the patriarch, Fried, a barbarian veteran warrior, quickly got up from the ground, patted his chest, and signaled that he was in good shape.

Todd leaned on the prison door, looked at his people, turned to the jailer, and said, "Open the prison door."

The latter said with embarrassed expression: "Master Boyle, I told you a long time ago..."

"Open the jail door, I want to say something to my people. If you are not at ease, you can lock the jail door after I walk in."

The jailer thought for a moment.

Boyle visits these people almost every night, and nothing has happened for so many days; besides, he has now been exonerated from the death penalty and is unlikely to take the risk.

Thinking of this, the jailer opened the cell door, watched Todd walk in, and locked the cell door again.

After saying hello to the people one by one, Todd called the veteran warrior Fried and Shaman Minnie to find an unmanned corner in the prison, and whispered: "At the end of this month, the Kingdom of Ulster will have a game. Celebration. The guards of the arena will be exhausted from the management of the prison because of the reception work of the royal family, nobles and missions. At that time, it is the best time for you to escape."

The veteran warrior Fried lowered his voice and asked, "Escape? How can we leave the territory of the Kingdom of Ulster even if so many of us can escape the red circle."

"There is a woman named Deirdre, do you remember her?"

Todd's question made Shaman Minnie look up, and the old woman's wrinkled face suddenly showed a smile: "Ah, Deirdre, that poor child..."

Fried looked at Todd: "What does the escape have to do with her?"

"As long as we escape outside the city, she will arrange transportation, customs clearance documents and team disguise so that we can return to the South safely."

"Deirdre's father signed a covenant with Conchi Urban, she might really be able to send us back!" Fried looked excited, and later he thought of something, and asked worriedly: "She will Wouldn't you join forces with Congee Urban to deceive us?"

Todd shook his head slightly: "I don't think it is like. If Congee Urban wants to kill me, he can have a hundred ways. There is no need to choose a method that is both laborious and risky."

Fried nodded: "Then there is no problem with me, please tell me, what should I do?"

"On the day of the celebration, the royal family will arrange a grand battle in the red circle. Most of the guards will be deployed to the ground to maintain order and be responsible for reception. At that time, it is the best time for you to act."

Todd drew a simple sketch on the ground with stones: "There is a secret sewer at the southernmost part of the second underground floor. There is a secret sewer. The fence has been loosened because of the old. You can directly enter the forest outside the city from there. Di Deli’s connector will be waiting for you there."

"But there is one thing you must pay attention to. It's time. From the time the guests enter the arena to the end of the gladiatorial fight, it will only take two hours at most. You must rush out of the city as soon as possible to meet with the joint people."

Fried first nodded his head to express his understanding, then suddenly thought of something and shouted: "No! What do you do then?!"

Seeing the jailer attracted by the sound, Todd quickly gave the old soldier a silent action.

Waiting for the jailer to look away again, Todd whispered: "Don't worry about my business, I can escape from here naturally."

"If the king finds that we have all escaped, he will pour all his anger on you!"

With Todd's repeated assurances, Fried gave up questioning.

"I want to chat with the patriarch alone for a while." Shaman Minnie said suddenly.

Freed glanced at the old woman and got up with a sigh.

Minnie stared at Todd for a long time without saying a word, and kept seeing the latter twisting her body uncomfortably.

"How did Boyle die?"

Hearing what the other party said, Todd was startled, but a confused look appeared on his face: "What did you say?"

The old woman closed her eyes and her tone was so calm that Todd couldn't believe it: "That child, I have been taking care of him since he was born. I know his voice and his habit of doing things. So, there is no need for anymore. Concealed me."

It's important, Todd decided to play dumb and froze: "I don't know what you are talking about..."

Minnie opened her eyes and looked at Todd and shook her head: "Are you still refusing to admit it? Listen, the child's lower right alveolar, the third tooth from back to front, because he fell off the horse when he was a child and is no longer there. Now. Why don’t you open your mouth and let me see your teeth?"

Cold sweat ran down Todd's cheeks.

Shaping can change the fat connective and epidermal tissue, but it cannot change the bone structure. Besides, Todd didn't think of anything like the lack of teeth.

Looking at the other person's pale face, Minnie smiled and said, "I have nothing to say, right? Tell me now, how did Boyle die?"

Todd took a deep breath and explained the night when Boyle was rescued.

After listening to the narration, Minnie didn't show any emotions and didn't ask the other party's identity. Just put his hand on Todd's forehead and said calmly: "As I said before, you have a unique and kind soul. This is why I trust you."

Coming out of the prison, Todd looked back at the old shaman again. He had too many questions to ask, but it was obviously not the time now and he could only wait to escape.

On the eastern road of the Kingdom of Ulster, a cavalry regiment of five hundred men, under the flag of the Kingdom of Connaught, escorted a beautifully decorated carriage to the west.

A coquettish and tactful voice came from the carriage: "How far is it from the city of Arma?"

For the cavalry commander, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has answered this question countless times, but when he heard this voice, he was still refreshed and replied respectfully: "There are two days to go, Your Majesty the Queen."

A low sigh came from the carriage: "Are there two more days?"

The commander thought for a while, and cautiously suggested: "Your Majesty, if you just want to watch the gladiatorial fight, the kingdom also has its own arena, so there is no need to go all the way here."

There was a burst of laughter from the carriage. It was as clear and sweet as a clear spring falling on a jade plate. It struck everyone's hearts bit by bit: "Pay attention to your words. I am now the head of the Connaught special envoy. Heavy responsibility...poof...hehe..."

The commander and his adjutant looked at each other and shook his head helplessly. ...
