Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 906: Gallo the thief

Views:

The thief Jialuo and Mo Yu knew each other earlier than Gao Wen.

At that time, Mo Yu had just escaped from Baisha City. After recovering from his injuries, he became a mercenary in order to survive. After completing a few simple tasks, he received a task to search for missing children. At that time, Oasis City, where this task was issued, had lost more than 20 children in a few days, most of whom were children of nobles and merchants.

At that time, Jia Luo, who was sneaking around in the city, attracted Mo Yu's attention. She suspected that this thief was one of the gang that stole the children. Her thinking was relatively simple at that time, so she stopped Jia Luo in an alley and beat him up. Jia Luo was a mid-level thief. Although he was a well-known strong man in the nearby town, he was like a chicken in front of Mo Yu and was beaten to a pulp by her.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Gallo took out his mercenary badge and the city lord's task commission letter to prove that he was also a mercenary hired by the city lord to investigate the matter, otherwise he would have been beaten to a pulp by Mo Yu.

Jia Luo also told her that he had already found some clues and was tracking the person, but was suddenly stopped and beaten by Mo Yu, and ended up losing the person he was tracking.

Mo Yu felt deeply frustrated, so she asked to track down those people with Jia Luo. Seeing that she was very powerful and would not give up until she cooperated, Jia Luo cooperated with her.

Although outsiders like Mo Yu are powerful, they are no match for local snakes like Jia Luo when it comes to finding people to investigate clues. Jia Luo inquired for a day and found a clue. The two tracked all the way and finally found the source of the matter.

They discovered that the ones who stole these children were not the slave traders or evil wizards as they suspected, but the local beast rebels. They had just been besieged by the lords of several cities and suffered heavy losses, which gave rise to the idea of revenge.

Their strength is limited, and it is difficult for them to strike at adults with considerable strength. However, their tentacles are rooted in the lower classes of the city, where they have a wide range of sympathizers. They use their network that reaches every corner of the city to reach the children of nobles and merchants, while the ones who take action may be those seemingly ordinary vendors, maids, coachmen, and guards.

The purpose of their kidnapping is also to exchange for ransom and captured companions.

Mo Yu and Jia Luo slowly tracked them and found their hiding place in a barren mountain outside the town. The beast rebels were naturally no match for Mo Yu. They broke into the camp like cutting melons and vegetables and found the captured children. Because the children were needed to be exchanged for ransom, they were not abused. Mo Yu wanted to take the children away with the rebels, but was dissuaded by Jia Luo.

Garo himself has some orc blood, although the characteristics are not obvious and he is not an orc, but he sympathizes with these low-level orc slaves. He said to Mo Yu: "These people rebelled because they couldn't make a living. The previous encirclement and suppression by the city lord caused them to suffer heavy losses. Not only did they lose personnel, but they were also very short of food and supplies, so they did this. However, if we hand them over to the city lord, these people will have only one ending, that is, they will be beheaded by the city lord in a few days. So, can we just take the children back and let these people go? Even if they shouldn't use the children to make a fuss, now that they have been beaten like this by us, it can be regarded as a punishment."

Mo Yu had been in these cities for a month or two and could still feel the suffering of the lower class people. When she saw Gallo pleading with her like this, she also felt that these beast rebels had learned their lesson, so she agreed with Gallo's suggestion.

The two sent the child back to the City Lord's Mansion, received the bounty, and then parted ways. But a few days later, Mo Yu actually saw Garo on the street, locked in a prison van and escorted by soldiers to be beheaded. With him were the beast rebels that she had let go in the village before.

She thought Gallo was a good guy, so she naturally wanted to find out more about him. She found a few well-informed mercenaries and found out that after Gallo separated from her, he secretly returned to another camp of the rebels and brought them some food and coins, but he didn't notice that he was being followed. The mayor of Oasis City was upset about not catching the criminals and was determined to catch the beasts. He became suspicious of Gallo who found the child but didn't catch the criminals, so he sent his masters to track Gallo's actions. When Gallo came to the village, they were all caught.

When Mo Yu saw these people being taken to the execution ground, she remembered the battle she had encountered when she awakened. She had no respect for these noble city lords, but instead had an instinctive disgust for some reason. So she made a logical decision: attack the convoy and rescue Jia Luo.

Mo Yu's condition this time is far from comparable to the situation in Baisha City two months ago. Not only has her strength improved to a higher level, but her physical condition has also almost recovered to its best state.

She stood by the wall of the courtyard, and kicked the wall when the caravan passed by, causing bricks and stones to fly out and hit the people and horses in the caravan, then she rushed into the team with a sword. Her strength was far superior to the guards who were escorting the car, and she didn't even go berserk. She knocked them all to the ground in a few encounters, split the prisoner car in half, and rescued Gallo and other rebel fighters.

However, she did not expect that this was a trap set by the Lord of Oasis City. After she attacked the convoy, a large number of soldiers rushed up from the streets and alleys. The Lord of Oasis City also went into battle in person. His strength was no less than that of Viscount Diego of Baisha City. Even though Mo Yu was very powerful, he was still in a tough fight.

However, these people did not know that the more injured the inheritor of the Crazy Sword Style was, the stronger his power would be. Mo Yu was besieged and injured, and his strength doubled. After going crazy, he actually killed the Lord of Oasis City, a high-level warrior, in the chaos.

She led Garo and the surviving beast rebels out of Oasis City. Although both of them were seriously injured, they managed to survive.

Both Garo and the beast rebels were very grateful to Mo Yu.

After they left Oasis City, Gallo suggested that the two of them form a small mercenary group together and take on more difficult missions together. Mo Yu was very strong, so he naturally became the leader, while Gallo had extensive information channels and was flexible, so he was responsible for taking on jobs and negotiating. Later, Gao Wen was added, and it became a three-person mercenary group. The name of this mercenary group was also Mo Yu. Although the number of people was small, because of its strong strength, it quickly made a great reputation in the surrounding areas. (To be continued)
