Chapter 65 Dagger, Steel Cone and Spring Roller(1/3)

After turning out the window, Winters quickly climbed onto the roof.

During the Sovereign War, the area where Major Moritz now lives was used to house the noble family who fled from the Union Province [the Duke of the Mountains] to Venetta.

At that time, the United Provincial militia had publicly raised anti-flags, but the fire of the rebellion did not burn to Venetta. The autonomous cities such as Shanghai Blue City and Baihua City were still directly under the royal family.

The Venetta merchant with a keen sense of smell discovered the opportunity: even if he became a refugee, the nobles wanted more decent housing.

So they built rows of stone houses in this urban area.

Businessmen who had a lot of imagination built these houses into two floors, one next to one, and a wall shared by two houses. This double-layer and side-by-side design not only saves materials, but also makes the most of the land.

Although houses next to each other are not very decent, at least they have roofs, four walls, and are still stone. The most important thing is that they are much cheaper than single-family stone houses.

In the end, the idea was successful, and the fugitive nobles rushed to take out the only gold coins they brought from the Union Province. The stone houses in the town appeared in this neighborhood like mushrooms after a rain, and some cash-strapped nobles even began to hire people to build this type of house.

The buildings in Benweijia's urban area also use the same design concept. However, the noble refugees still have some money, so they use stone. The civilians who fled were penniless, so the dock workers mainly used wood in their residential areas.

The houses are connected together, and the roofs are connected together. Although the residents later renovated their roofs, they did not hinder the agile Winters.

At this moment, Winters was like a black cat, walking through the roof in silent steps. Two night patrolmen walked past the street with lights, but did not notice that a black shadow was leaping across the two rows of houses on the roof.

Soon, Winters crossed the entire city and reached his destination.

This is a house that can be seen everywhere in this urban area, with an ordinary style. The doors and windows on the first floor are closed, and a few shimmers appear in the windows on the second floor. There is no special appearance of ordinary people.

Winters checked the characteristics of the house and the surrounding houses through the moonlight, confirmed that he had made no mistakes, pulled out the roulette from the gun holster, sprinkled gunpowder at the fire, and pulled the flint and pulled it on the friction plate.

This gun is now ready to be fired.

Unlike ordinary spring-rotating guns - Henry III's gunsmith is worthy of being a royal gunsmith - this musket has an ingenious design: there is a small lid linked to the trigger on the fire hole.

Only by pulling the trigger will the lid be opened and the gunpowder in the barrel will be ignited, greatly reducing the risk of fire.

At this moment, Winters could only believe that this design was effective, and he inserted the spring-rotor gun that could be fired at any time back into the holster.

This gun was his last resort, and unless he had to, he did not want to use this "big voice" weapon.

——Cut—

Time went back two days ago when Winters followed Antonio home from the parliament hall.

"Catch up and find out who he is. If it's just a beggar, give him some money. Let him stop getting close to our house." Antonio said, pointing at the back of the little beggar.

Winters nodded and drove the strong luck to catch up.

Before he ran far, the little beggar was caught up by Winters. Winters stopped him, and the little beggar did not turn around and ran, but stopped and looked at Winters blankly.

"What are you running?" Winters got off the horse, walked towards the little beggar with the hilt of the sword, and shouted sternly.

But unexpectedly, the little beggar's nose felt sore, and he cried and hugged Winters: "Brother, please save my elder brother..."

Winters originally subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but after hearing the sound, he froze in place and let the little beggar carry him. Although the boy began to enter the voice change period, Winters could not hear this sound wrong.

Winters took out his handkerchief and wiped the little beggar's face: "Are you Benwei's younger brother? Are you the third brother?"

The little beggar nodded.

"What's wrong with your brother? Tell me slowly..." Winters pulled Benway's third brother to a place with no pedestrians on the back street.

When he was studying in the Army's childhood school, Winters often went to play with Benwei. Benwei was the eldest son and had several younger brothers and sisters under him. At that time, Winters and Benwei were only as old as the third brother Benwei in front of him. Benwei's younger brothers liked to follow behind the two older children as their tails. Benwei's second and third brothers called Winters "Brother".

"The Montals came to us last night..." Benway's third brother sobbed, and said with gestures to Winters and told him what happened. Although the child was not old, he cried and said intermittently. However, his thoughts and arrangement were clear, and Winters understood what happened very well.

Last night, a group of people broke into Benwei's hiding farmhouse. After a fight, they kidnapped Benwei and Benwei's second brother and beat the owner of the house.

Benwei's third brother lives with the owner of the house. The owner of the house lied that Benwei's third brother was his son, and he escaped.

"What then?" Winters controlled his breathing as much as possible, and a voice in his mind kept shouting: The Montals followed you to find Benway!

The third brother Benwei, who had already stopped crying, suddenly couldn't help crying again: "Then my second brother was dead."

The group of people who kidnapped Benwei quickly got on the carriage and left the farm. Benwei's third brother immediately chased him out and followed the group.

Unexpectedly, the two carriages didn't go far, and suddenly stopped for a while, and then continued to walk.

Benwei's third brother ran to the stop of the carriage and found his second brother's still warm body. The clothes below the corpse's belly were completely soaked in blood.

In my memory, Benwei's second brother began to appear. He was a simple and honest child with a round face, a little stupid, but he listened to Benwei and Winters especially. Even if his mother was beaten with a stick, the silly boy never betrayed Benwei and Winters.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! That child is dead? The child who followed him with a silly smile was dead?

Winters suddenly felt a little dazed.

Benwei's third brother wiped away his tears and continued to say what happened next: "Then... then I had no choice but to hide my second brother in the ditch on the side of the road... and continue to chase the Montas."

That night, Benwei's third brother quietly followed the carriage into the city, watching the group drag Benwei into a house.

Winters roughly understood what happened. He felt sweating on his forehead and his breathing became rapid uncontrollably. But he kept reminding himself in his heart: "It is useless to be anxious." The most urgent thing is to figure out the situation, and there are some doubts that must be clarified.

"Shar, don't worry, I have a few questions to ask you." Winters asked as calmly as possible: "How do you know that the Monta who kidnapped Benway?"

"Accent, they are all Monta accents." Benway's third brother answered without thinking.

"You go to find your elder brother's companion... are your elder brother's dock workers, or have you ever gone to find the sheriff?"

Benway's third brother's eyes were wet again, and he sobbed and said, "It's useless, the sheriff will not care about us. The Monta bribed the sheriff. My brother's coworkers were beaten to death by the Monta, but the sheriff did not show up at all. We are not Venetta, and the sheriff will not care about us..."

Everyone was focused on the war with the Tanirian Federation, and the Monta chose a good time.

"You mean the Vines and Montas who were working on the dock had another armed fight, and the Vines didn't win, right?" Winters noticed some information.

"Yesterday, the Montals attacked my brother's group and killed all the people who led the lead. I went to find them, but they had already kneeled down and surrendered and dared not save my brother. They told the Montals where we were hiding!" Benwei's third brother grabbed Winters' arm and cried, "I... I really have no choice, otherwise I wouldn't have found this place... Winters, please, please save my brother. If you save my brother, I will be yours in the future!"

"Don't cry! Men are bleeding but not cry." Winters took the handkerchief and wiped Charle's tears: "Do you remember where they caught your brother?"

"I stayed overnight and waited until the sun came out and copied the address of the house." Benwei's third brother quickly turned on his clothes, tore off a piece of cloth from his close-fitting clothes, and handed it to Winters.

There is an address written in blood on this cloth.

"This address is correct?"

"That's right!"

"Does anyone else know you're coming to me?"

"No! I didn't tell anyone."

"How many people took your brother away?"

"A dozen."

"Is your brother still there now?"

Benwei's third brother cried and shook his head and said, "I stayed outside for a night last night, but they didn't bring my brother out. Today I went to find my brother's group during the day and couldn't stare at them... Please go and save my brother quickly. The longer it takes, the more likely they will get my brother to another place..."

There was no need to ask anything else, Winters grabbed Shire's shoulder and asked, "The rest of your family was sent to a relative's house by your brother. Do you know where they are?"

"I know." Benwei's third brother wiped away his tears and nodded.

Winters took out his spellcaster badge, put it in Shir's palm, took out all the money on him, and said to Shir seriously: "Leave your brother's affairs to me, you go and find other people in your family now. Take this badge and go to the Army Officer Club to find Warrant Officer Bud, Gerald's Bud. Tell him that it was me who asked you to find him, but don't tell him about your brother's affairs. Let him get a horse to send you to your family. Do you understand?"

Benway's third brother wanted to say something, but when he saw Winters' eyes, he swallowed the words and nodded heavily.

“Repeat.”

Benway's third brother repeated Winters' words.

"Your brother is still alive, I will rescue him. If your brother dies, I will avenge him. Go find your family and don't tell anyone that you have seen me, go."

——Cut—

Time returns to the present.

After confirming that there was no light in the wooden door of the balcony, Winters grabbed the female wall and the iron fence and gently landed on the balcony on the back street of the house.

Although the landing height was reduced as much as possible, he was also an adult man with normal weight, so he still made a sound of landing.

He held his breath, pulled out his dagger, leaned against the wall, and listened with his ears.

Fortunately, only snoring could be heard behind the door, and no one noticed the abnormal sound.

Winters acted alone tonight without asking for any help. Although he was sure that Bard would help him without hesitation, Andre might have helped. But he did not ask for help from anyone, nor did he tell anyone about his plans.

Benwinotto is a friend of Winters, who saved Winters' life. But Bud and Andre didn't know him, so Winters didn't want to involve others.

From childhood to officers’ academy, ten years of military school life have tempered Winters Montane into a “orderly person”.

He could go to the sheriff, but he knew what would happen to find the sheriff: the Montals would get the news in advance, cut Benway's neck and then bury him in a pit outside the city; he could ask Antonio for help and let the gendarmes search the place, but this would expose Coza and Elizabeth and put them in danger.

So Winters decided to solve the problem by himself.

Using Lieutenant Colonel Field taught him the method, Winters poked the thin blade of the dagger into the crack of the door and opened the latch.

Yesterday and today, Winters carefully scouted the house and waited for a long time. The house was not as simple as it seemed. Benway's third brother said that more than a dozen people kidnapped Benway. In fact, Winters counted at least twenty-two different faces and entered the house and did not leave.

There must be so many people living in a house. The only explanation is that the house next door is owned by this group of Montas. They opened up the walls and turned the two houses into one house. There may even be more than two houses.

He has two plans: if the other party transfers Benwei, he will intercept it in the middle; if Benwei is not taken away, he will implement the original plan, which is what he is doing now.

Using the light technique to emit a dim light, Winters counted out three people lying on the floor and sleeping.

He walked to someone silently, saw the other person's vital points clearly, and without hesitation, he inserted the dagger into the other person's neck. The moment he stabbed the neck, Winters pressed the other person's chest with his knees and covered the other person's mouth and nose with his left hand.

The Montas in his sleep woke up from severe pain, but his throat was severely damaged, his mouth and nose were suffocated to death, and he could not make any sound, so he could only wave his arms randomly.
