1626, The Choice of Fortress
"… Where is this …" David groaned and tried to open his eyes. His nose was filled with the smell of horse dung. It should be a farm, or more accurately, a horse farm.
A horse farm! David shuddered and tried to stand up, but then he found that his hands and feet were tied. There was a wave of dizziness in his head, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Hearing the noise, two gangsters walked in. Seeing David struggling, they grabbed him and dragged him out of the door.
David was dizzy, but he could still see that this place was a stable. The two gangsters dragged him into a farmhouse. Inside, there were more than ten gangsters and two people sitting on stools. One of them wore a straw hat and looked like an ordinary farmer. However, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes from time to time, showing that he was definitely not simple. The other person was as strong as an ox. His skin was dark, and there was a hideous knife scar on his face! David knew this person. He was the boss of the gang in this town, Ian!
Seeing David come over, Ian waved his hand. A gangster dragged a child from another room. It was Allen! Allen's mouth was blocked, and his face was covered in tears. He looked at everything in front of him in horror.
"Ian! What do you want! Let go of Allen!! "David shouted loudly, but the two gangsters behind him held him down. He couldn't struggle at all.
Ian let out a few cold laughs, pointed to the person wearing a straw hat, and said, "This is Mister Grade, the owner of the racetrack. Do you understand now?"
Glade took off his straw hat and used it as a fan to fan himself a few times. He then walked over and squatted down in front of David. He patted David's face in contempt and said, "You cheated at my horse farm and won quite a lot of money over the past few months, right? Ah. David, right … Hehehehe, you're really capable. "
"I … I didn't cheat … I was just, just lucky … lucky … really …" David said in a low voice.
"You didn't cheat? If you didn't cheat, then you must have secretly injured our horse? After the race, Fire Cloud's thigh was found to have a strain. You did it, right? If it wasn't for this strain, would Fire Cloud, who won six times in a row, lose? "Grade laughed coldly.
"No … I didn't …" David shook his head desperately.
"No? Then I'll ask your kid. " As Ian spoke, he lifted Allen up from the ground. He was so strong that an eight or nine-year-old child could lift him up like a chicken. Allen's legs kicked wildly in the air, but it was useless.
Ian pulled the rag out of Allen's mouth, and Allen immediately burst into tears.
"Let him go! This has nothing to do with him! "David roared.
"Hahahaha, then tell me why you can win money at the racetrack! Tell me the reason, and your son will be safe and sound! "Ian laughed out loud.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll talk! Put Alan down! Let him go! "David screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Daddy! Don't say it, don't say it!! "Allen was also crying.
"If you don't let him speak, then I'll kill your father!!" Ian roared fiercely. Allen immediately stopped crying and looked at Ian with incomparable horror. In his young mind, he had never experienced such a terrible thing.
At this moment, a strange sound of a motor suddenly came, and a van pickup truck rushed over like a runaway bison. The surrounding gangsters were suddenly scared to the point of wetting their pants and running away in all directions. However, Ian was a ruthless person. He looked at the pickup truck and laughed sinisterly. He threw Allen at his feet! If the pickup truck dared to hit him, it would first crush Allen to death!
As expected, there was a screeching sound of brakes. Under the effect of inertia, the pickup truck slid forward for more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
"Hehehehe … you actually have an accomplice!" Ian laughed sinisterly as he walked toward the pickup truck.
Bang! The truck's compartment was smashed open. Heavy footsteps were heard, and a robot came down from the truck!! This robot was covered with all kinds of exposed mechanical pipelines. At a glance, one could see that many agricultural machinery had been modified. On the cylindrical shell of the robot's head, half a lifelike metal human face was installed!!
"What is this thing! What is this thing!! "The gangsters suddenly turned pale with fright and shouted loudly.
"Redoubt!! Quick, save us! "Allen saw the robot and his eyes immediately lit up. He shouted loudly.
"Fuck you, this guy is a pile of scrap metal!! You bastards, are you afraid of a tractor? Smash it for me!! " Ian roared. The gangsters who were fleeing behind him suddenly became ruthless. They took all kinds of wooden sticks and forks and rushed forward!
Dang! Dang! Dang!! The wooden sticks hit the robot's body, but it had no effect at all. A modified pitchfork suddenly popped out of the robot's hand. It fiercely pierced through the body of a gangster!! Then, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, it wantonly slaughtered the crowd! Although it looked like some modified agricultural machinery, the structure of these machinery was very ingenious. No matter where it was hit, it could maximize the impact through the exquisite structure.
The pitchfork in the robot's hand was like a butcher's knife. In a few breaths, it cut down several gangsters!
Bang! A gunshot rang out. A gangster with a shotgun fired at the robot. However, the robot did not budge. Its body did not even sway. Instead, it picked up a wooden stick from the ground and threw it! Puchi!! The enormous force of the wooden stick directly pierced through the head of the gangster who fired the shot. Countless amounts of blood and brain matter splattered everywhere!
"Let's go home, Allen. The next horse race is about to begin. " The redoubt came before Allen and gently helped him up. Then, it walked over and helped his father, David, up as well. It used its fork to cut off the ropes binding them.
"Redoubt!!" Allen threw himself onto the robot's body and cried loudly. "Let's go home! Let's go home, stop the horse race! Wu wu wu wu … "
On the other side, Ian and Glider were shocked. Ian pointed at the robot and mumbled, "You … you can actually talk … what are you …"
Dong! Dong! Dong! The redoubt took heavy steps toward Ian and replied with an emotionless voice, "Yes, I can talk."
"You … you can talk … you …" Ian was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Look at the junk on your body! If you work for me, I will give you more and newer parts!! I am the one who opened the horse race track, and I have money! You don't need to follow those two paupers! " Glider was, after all, a businessman. His eyes were much sharper. With one glance, he could see the incompatibility between the exquisite half-metal human face and the crude agricultural machinery.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We have money. We can have as much as you want!! We will send Allen and David back now. We will not trouble them in the future! It's true … "Ian also reacted and followed Grade's words.
The redoubt suddenly stopped, and his metallic voice sounded. "Yes, logically speaking, this is a better choice."
"Redoubt … Redoubt … Don't leave me …" Allen looked at the redoubt blankly and said softly.
"Hurry up and go home! Allen! An existence like the redoubt is not something we can have … "David hurriedly ran over and hugged Allen, wanting to leave.
"I swear! I will definitely not hurt Allen's family! So, don't worry!! Join us! We will make a lot of money together! You can also have a better body!! "Glider saw hope and said loudly.
However, what he saw was the pitchfork in the robot's hand falling from the sky. This was also the last scene he saw!
