Working Prophet.

Chapter 347 Out of the City
Tom stared blankly at the backs of the black armored cavalry, and then his face changed slightly. He quickly opened the door of the carriage, and saw the motionless little maid with her eyes closed in the back seat.

The captain of the Black Dog Guard put a finger under the little maid's nose, and did not relax until he felt the latter's steady breathing.

Then a sense of exhaustion hit him, and Tom just sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

When the smoke dissipated further, other people also gathered around. Tom also saw Jin Tong and another Black Dog Guard soldier he left behind on the other side of the street.

Both of them were safe and sound. There were many bloodstains on Jin Tong's body, but it seemed that they were all left by the other side.

To be honest, the battle over there ended much faster than Tom expected.

At first Tom thought it was the harassment of the people left behind who had played a role, but after asking, he found out that the lizard warrior never had time to make a move.

On the despicable Jintong is worse than Tom, and he yelled about a one-on-one fair fight, but he sprinkled a handful of lime on it as soon as he came up.

It means that Li Yu is not here, otherwise he would have to ask to see if Jin Tong is a disciple of a certain Lord Wei.

The poor butcher wanted to compete with Jintong after his martial arts improved, but he was blinded by the opponent before the fight started.

In the battle between masters, the outcome is within a hair's breadth, let alone with such a big debuff, and Jin Tong didn't feel guilty at all after he pissed off the butcher.

While the opponent was still roaring angrily, he quietly left his previous position while waving the weapon in his hand, walked around to the side of the butcher, raised the long sword forward lightly, and accurately pierced the opponent's throat.

The whole battle ended very quickly, and in just three or two breaths, Jin Tong had already dealt with the most threatening person on the other side.

The scene of fighting dragons and tigers that everyone was expecting never happened at all.

After hearing this, Tom also secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had taken Jin Tong with a sneak attack. Otherwise, if a battle really broke out, he didn't know how many people he would have been fooled by this guy.

Although Clara was found, the group of the Shuangxiu Church did not celebrate.

Their current situation is still not safe, and they have to leave Multi-Lined City before dawn.

The pass must have no effect at this time, and the group of black armored cavalry ran towards the city gate just now, and they may have told the defenders at the gate of their whereabouts.

Therefore, after a short rest, Tom organized his men and prepared to break through, wanting to rush out of the city before the opponent could react.

Everyone was ready for another big battle. Tom still had four smoke bombs left on his body, and there was also a three-eyed bird that could distract the defenders when necessary.

But when they got to the city gate, the scene in front of them stunned everyone again.

Because there has already been a fight here. On one side are the sackclothed men from the new army, while on the other side, although the number is smaller, the equipment is obviously better and the training is better.

At present, it has gained the upper hand, and has been suppressing those men in sackcloth.

At first, Tom thought it was Martina's advance army who had entered the city ahead of time and was trying to seize the city gate, but later Jin Tong recognized the identity of the group.

"It's the guard of the Raimundi family. It seems that the city lord is not as weak and incompetent as the outside world said."

Tom's thoughts changed sharply when he heard the words, and at this moment, the two waves of people who were fighting not far away also spotted them.

The atmosphere became a little weird for a while.

Obviously, those two waves of people didn't know where they came from, but compared to the new army that was about to collapse, the guards of the Raimondi family were obviously more than capable.

A team of people was also separated to guard against weekends to teach everyone.

Jin Tong lowered his voice and reminded, "Whether you are going to fight or flee, you'd better make a decision early, otherwise it will be our turn after those people get rid of the scum of the new army."

Hearing this, Tom took a deep breath, then took the initiative to put away his sword, took two steps forward, and said, "We are mercenaries in the Cyclops Tavern, and we were arrested in the city by the entrustment of Constantino, the son of the sheriff. Outlaws."

A middle-aged man dressed as a knight also came out of the crowd. Hearing this, his face softened a little, and he looked Tom up and down, "Are you from Ashuraf?"

"To be precise, what we accepted was only his son's entrustment." Jin Tong chimed in from the side.

"What about that girl, what's going on, is she also a mercenary?"

The knight pointed to Clara on the back of a lizardman warrior.

"No, she's just an innocent citizen we rescued from a group of villains along the way."

"I didn't know that profit-seeking mercenaries like you also have the spirit of hoeing the strong and helping the weak." The knight snorted, "If that's the case, then help us kill these hypocrites who were bewitched by Herodotus together. .”

"I refuse," said Tom.

The knight's face became gloomy when he heard this, "You guys seem to be with them by making excuses like this?"

"You misunderstood us. It's not that we don't want to work for you, it's just that we have already received money from Lord Constantino."

Tom looked as usual, "According to Lord Constantino's investigation results during this period, the riot in the city tonight was secretly instigated by a group of villains in black armor. We were chasing them before, and we can only catch them." , we can get the remaining half of the bounty."

Since the Raimundi family chose to send troops at this time to rob the city gate, they had obviously made up their minds to betray Herodotus and seek refuge with Martina.

In this way, as long as those black cavalrymen are not stupid, it is impossible to reveal their identities, and the corpses under the city gate are the best evidence.

Tom had already seen the bodies of several Raimundi family guards in it, as well as the bodies of two black cavalrymen.

If nothing else, the two sides have just played against each other.

That's why Tom dared to make up such a lie.

Sure enough, the knight pondered for a moment after hearing Tom's words, but instead of forcing them to attack the remaining new army together, he waved his hand.

"The guys you want to chase have run outside the city. If you want to catch them, go after them yourself. If you can catch them, I can give you another reward."

"Thank you sir."

Before Tom could be happy, he heard the knight pointing at Clara with his whip again, "Leave that girl behind."

Seeing that the people of the Shuangxiu Church were motionless, he said impatiently, "Why, you still want to take her to chase people, but let her go to me first, and when I get rid of those false believers, I will naturally send someone to send her away Go home and give it to her parents."

Tom and Jin Tong looked at each other, sighed and said, "That can only wrong you."
