An explosion came from the direction of the pig factory, causing Maud to wake up.
"Did the revolutionary army take action?"
Maude thought to herself, got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.
At this time, diagonally across the corridor, Sunny also opened the door and walked out.
The two of them looked at each other in the air, and then looked at the door of Sol's room, but there was no movement at all.
Sunny withdrew her gaze, turned to Maud, and said in a low voice: "Get ready, and then go out."
"good."
Maude nodded, returned to the room, changed clothes as quickly as possible, and then brought a firearm and sufficient ammunition.
Sunny was determined to get involved, so he couldn't just sit idly by.
By the time he was ready, Sunny was already at the door.
"lets go."
Afterwards, the two of them quietly walked out of the weapons store, climbed to the top of a building, and looked towards the direction of the pig factory.
In the dim light, I could see a thick plume of smoke rising into the sky from the other side of the wall, and the light of fire was faintly visible.
While watching, another explosion came from that direction.
The huge commotion spread almost throughout Mad Hatter Town.
Most people in the town just glanced in the direction of the pig factory and didn't take it seriously. Most of them had an attitude that it didn't matter to them.
On the top of the building, Maude and Sunny looked at each other and immediately headed towards the pig factory.
After Maud and Sunny left, a short figure walked out of the weapon shop and hung far behind them.
... ... ... ... ... ..
at this time.
The pig factory was in flames.
Ralph's men fought against the Revolutionary Army.
There were sounds of fighting, gunfire, and explosions everywhere.
Chapter 96: The melee is going on
The pig factory is originally a production base, mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, so there are many buildings.
at this time.
The fire was blazing.
Most buildings were in flames.
Such a serious fire was obviously easily caused by the revolutionary army, which also showed that the revolutionary army's rescue of the slaves was not smooth.
Therefore, the revolutionary army used arson to try to divert the enemy's forces.
However, after putting down the fire, the revolutionary army discovered that the armed team of the pig factory had no intention of putting out the fire.
Even though the fire had spread to the warehouse where the grain was stored, the armed team turned a blind eye, each holding a weapon and pouring murderous intent on them.
The reason was because of Ralph's order.
After all, Ralph owns many properties in Mad Hatter Town, not only involved in auctions, but he also has investments in Liquor Street and Flower Street.
With the financial resources he has, how can he care about the output value of a mere pig factory.
In comparison, the slaves that can continuously bring productivity and the military factories hidden underground are the most important things.
It's okay to say that the slaves are gone. If they are gone, they are gone. As long as they spend a lot of money on the slave-catching team, they can be replenished sooner or later.
As long as it was something that could be solved with money, it was nothing to Ralph.
On the contrary, it is the military factory, which is not only his lifeblood, but also an important step for him to catch up with [Joker].
But now, the revolutionary army actually wants to attack him.
Forget it, he actually still planted explosives in his military factory.
If he hadn't always attached great importance to the defense of the military factory, the consequences would have been disastrous.
In a rage, Ralph directly issued an order to kill without mercy based on the reward mechanism.
It doesn't matter if it affects slaves, not a single revolutionary soldier can let go.
Driven by the high bounty, Ralph's men were like chicken blood, putting great pressure on the revolutionary army.
Under the light of the fire, the sky above the pig factory was filled with deafening sounds of fighting.
Ralph's armed team is not only large in numbers, but also well-equipped with weapons, including shoulder-mounted artillery.
After all, there was a military factory right where they were.
The armed forces relied on a large number of shoulder-mounted artillery, which caused great trouble to the retreat of the revolutionary army.
In a tunnel beneath the pig factory.
The trembling slaves supported each other and walked in the tunnel, forming a long queue.
At regular intervals on both sides of the team, there is a revolutionary soldier who is responsible for maintaining order when the team is marching to prevent accidents.
At the front of the team was a shirtless male giant wearing only a plaid skirt.
He is Jasmine, the commander of the Western Army of the Revolutionary Army. The Devil Fruit ability he possesses allows him to easily create tunnels for walking underground.
Because of this ability, he is the busiest among the four army captains in various operations related to [rescue].
In this rescue operation in Mad Hatter Town, Sabo also contacted him to come and help.
Rumble…
The explosion from the ground caused the tunnel to shake slightly.
The dust fell softly, giving people a sense of crisis.
Jasmine looked up at the top of the tunnel, a flash of worry in her eyes.
They were not worried about the strength of the tunnel, but the colleagues on the ground who were fighting to cut off the retreat.
"Can it be faster?"
He looked back at the long queue of slaves in the tunnel, clutching the huge trident in his hand.
Due to the height between the sea and the cliffs of Mad Hatter Island, and the fact that there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the slave team.
Therefore, Jasmine could not dig a tunnel in advance that could communicate with each other.
In order to safely deliver the slaves to the ship on the sea, what Jasmine had to do was to push out a tunnel from top to bottom that could lead to the ship.
Considering the physical abilities of the slaves, this downward tunnel cannot be too steep.
However, it goes without saying that Jasmine's launch is extremely efficient, and it will definitely not be too slow.
But the most troublesome thing was the speed at which the slaves were traveling.
As for the troubles that would inevitably be encountered during a rescue operation like this, Jasmine had actually long been used to it.
He was just worried about his colleagues fighting on the ground.
At this moment, a message was passed between the members of the revolutionary army responsible for maintaining order.
From back to front, he passed through the long queue of slaves and was sent to a member of the Revolutionary Army closest to Jasmine.
The message came from Kerla.
"Jasmine, Kerra has gone to the ground to support Sabo and the others. Let me tell you."
The revolutionary army member told the contents of the message.
"knew."
Jasmine didn't look back and continued pushing the tunnel.
... ... ... ...
ground.
Sabo held a steel pipe and rushed straight into the enemy formation to kill without regard to his own safety.
In order to reduce the pressure on his teammates, he targeted those armed with shoulder-fired artillery.
Under Saab's single-handed approach, the number of shoulder-fired artillery in the armed forces is slowly decreasing.
He broke in alone and was naturally besieged by the armed forces.
But with his outstanding personal strength, even if the armed forces were outnumbered, there was nothing they could do against Saab.
Instead, Sabo killed many of his companions with a steel pipe.
They didn't know what material the steel pipe was made of, but it could smash the shoulder-mounted artillery with one stick.
Let alone his body, he couldn't withstand Sabo's blow.
Due to Saab's outstanding performance, the pressure on the Revolutionary Army dropped sharply after the break.
The battle situation is slowly tilting towards the side of the revolutionary army.
But after Raffl's capable cadres entered the war, Sabo's active performance was curbed.
Sabo looked at the man suddenly standing in front of him, his eyes slightly focused.
"Scott Bronzebeard!"
His eyes passed over the man's bronze pointed beard, and Sabo recognized the man's identity instantly.
Scott is Ralph's strongest thug.
The castle fruit from the previous auction was also brought back by Scott from the Grand Channel.
"not bad."
Scott raised his bronze fist, and after seeing Sabo's age clearly, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Sabo glanced at the small dent in the steel pipe and said nothing.
As if sensing Sabo's fear, Scott smiled proudly.
"Kid, if you can block my punch, you should..."
clang!
A lead bullet flying from somewhere suddenly hit Scott on the temple.
The impact of the lead bullet not only interrupted Scott's words, but also caused his head to tilt to one side.
"Um?"
A sudden round of lead bullets surprised Sabo.
He quickly looked in the direction where the lead bullets were flying, with doubts in his eyes.
That direction is where the enemy is.
Also confused was Scott, who was shot.
"Which bastard missed the target?"
Scott cursed angrily.
If it weren't for the power of the Copper Fruit, this shot to the temple...
After he finished cursing, Scott looked at Sabo again, wanting to repeat what he had just unfinished.
"You should feel confident..."
clang!
Another lead bullet flew and hit Scott accurately on the temple, interrupting his words again.
"Made."
Scott looked sharply in the direction of the bullet.
Everywhere he looked, there were members of his own armed forces.
Several question marks popped up on Scott's forehead.
