Chapter 32 Apart from this, you and I have no choice! (Seek to follow up)
Listening to Lynn's words, Lauder's face suddenly changed, and he cursed Kelu secretly in his heart, for disclosing such important news to several apprentices, so that he was implicated.
He didn't think Lynn was deceiving himself, after all, the movement of the Holy See these days was an extremely obvious signal.
It is precisely because of this concern that he chooses to hide behind the scenes to observe the situation, ready to run away anytime and anywhere, but he doesn't want to be caught out anyway.
"[Chuan Gang] has been operating in Haigang Town for many years, and the news should be very well-informed. Do you know who was arrested by the Holy See?" Lynn asked expectantly.
Lauder hesitated and shook his head, then replied helplessly. "Now the ship gang is being closely watched, and what I know is very limited. I'm afraid that the archbishop blocked the news. Now only the priests in Haigang Town have the right to have access to such confidential information."
It is not an easy task to corrupt and control a priest. These people master powerful divine arts, usually have firm beliefs, and don't lack money. They are all very tough.
So even though [Chuan Gang] has been operating in Haigang Town for decades, he usually avoids these people and tries not to have any connection with the clergy of the Holy See.
Lin En frowned involuntarily. He originally wanted to get enough information from Lauder, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even know about it. This was completely beyond his expectation.
"Master Wizard, are you planning to rescue the arrested apprentice wizards?" Lauder asked tentatively.
"Yes, this is also very important to you, isn't it?" Lynn said freely.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult. There are guards everywhere in Haigang Town now, and they may not be locked in the prison at the port. Even if you are lucky enough to rescue them, you will not be able to escape from Haigang Town." Lauder shook his head. Shaking his head, he retorted. "Instead of taking this risk, it's better to find a way to kill them, so the difficulty will be much lower!"
Since the other party knows the secret of [Boat Gang], it is enough to let this person disappear.
It is usually easier to kill than to save!
Lin En was not surprised by Lauder's cruelty. In this dark world, a human life is really nothing, not to mention that it involves the secrets of the wizard's land.
But Lin En didn't agree with the other party's opinion, and said with a sneer. "Mr. Lauder, aren't you still imagining that after this matter is over, the [Boat Gang] can live in peace and continue to stay in Harbor Town to make money?"
Since Anrioke chose Haigang Town as his residence, it must mean that the other party has found some clues. Even if Baige and Jonny are dead now, they will be able to find Lauder sooner or later.
After all, most of the cargo transportation in the entire Haigang Town is related to the [Chuan Gang]!
Lauder's face became very ugly, and he could naturally think of this, but he has been unwilling to admit this fact.
All in all, he has been in Haigang Town for a full twenty years, and it can be said that all his hard work in the second half of his life is here!
"You are a smart man, Mr. Lauder. Our only way out now is to take a boat across the sea of mist and go to the land of wizards. Otherwise, based on what you have done, no matter where you hide, you will be caught by the Holy See!" Lynn Said directly. "Now you can take a part of the accumulated money with you by crossing the sea by boat, but if you wait for An Ruoke to do it first, then you may even die!"
Laud looked deeply at Lynn, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally sighed helplessly. "It's too late to go to sea now! Haigang Town has already begun to strictly control the incoming and outgoing cargo ships. Today, two large ships were supposed to transport goods to the capital of the empire, but they were both detained."
"So fast?" Lynn paused for a moment, it seemed that the situation was worse than he imagined, but he quickly calmed down again and asked. "But you can always figure it out, don't you?"
During the past few days in Haigang Town, in order to find this old fox, he was nearly stunned by all kinds of news, true or false.
If it weren't for the horror of shaping magic that allowed him to pretend to be the leader of the [Boat Gang], there was really no way to find him out.
Such a cautious person, Lynn does not believe that Lauder will not expect the day when he will be trapped in the town by the port, let alone not making any preparations.
Lin En quickly thought about all the information he had inquired these days...
Since the harbor is in a semi-blocked state, the only ones who can leave the port freely during this period are the warships responsible for patrolling the sea!
"Holy Spirit, Skydome, Watcher...Which ship has your people in it?" Lynn asked curiously.
Lauder's face twitched. He didn't expect Lynn to even guess this. He even wondered if someone in his confidant had betrayed him, so he could only bite the bullet and admit it immediately. "It's... Tianqiong!"
Enough!
Lin En was amazed at Lauder's method, and he was really sure to seize control of a warship. He just wanted to defraud the other party.
Lauder said angrily. "Things are not as easy as you think. Although the captain of the Sky Vault is mine, the ship needs to report and check every time it leaves the port. Once it deviates from the route, it may soon be discovered by the guard."
In the sea of mist, their warships can only rely on bows and arrows to shoot long distances or ram into melee, but the opponent's ship has a priest on board. After a few magic spells, no matter how strong the ship is, it will be torn to pieces.
Moreover, large-scale transfer of personnel and materials is not an easy task.
"You don't need to worry about this. When we cross the sea, they have no time to pay attention to us." Lynn said confidently.
"I have a plan. If it goes well, no amount of troops will be a threat anymore, but this requires the assistance of [Ship Gang]..."
Lin En looked at Lauder, waiting for the other party's response. There are thousands of boatmen in the entire [Boat Gang]. Even if it is just a group of rabble, if it can be used, it will be an extremely huge force.
"You'd better not rely on them to fight against the guards of the Holy See..." Lauder sighed. Although the [Boat Gang] has a large number of people, most of them just make a living under his hands.
It's okay to engage in gang fights on weekdays. If you really pull out to fight with the regular army, I'm afraid that half of the people will turn their backs on the spot before the fight begins!
"Don't worry, I just need you to do some small things." Lynn took out a piece of parchment from his cuff and pushed it in front of Lauder. "Can these things be collected? The more the better!"
