Chapter 251: Coupling
Nadia's life and death outside is unknown, while her side lacks enough weapons and manpower. Wallace outside may lead people in at any time. Leah has never faced such a dangerous situation.
At this moment, many things flashed through her mind, and she also thought of the words that Rora said to her before. However, even now she still does not regret the decision to save Daisy and Nadia. She just felt a little guilty about Rora on the side. It was her insistence that the latter was in danger together now.
Rola gritted her teeth, her face was full of unwillingness, but now it was meaningless to complain. She could only hold the dagger in her hand and snorted coldly, "Don't say I haven't warned you, you won't want to know what will happen after being caught, so the best way is to die with them when they attack, even if they die, it's better than being caught."
Although Lea was very scared when she heard this, she nodded and poured the gunpowder into the gunpowder pool with her trembling fingers.
The next moment, gunshots rang out of the door, and the people in the torture room suddenly became nervous. However, after waiting for a while, Wallace and the guards outside did not rush in.
Lea immediately realized that they were fighting with other people. Before this deadly time, the troops were divided into two groups, responsible for going to other places to cause a commotion. The team of people came back again.
Not only were there the remaining black maids, but also many male black slaves who were strong and healthy and joined in halfway. When they saw Wallace and others surrounding the torture room, they immediately launched an attack on them.
Lea and others did not miss this opportunity and rushed out of the torture room while the leading male black slave ran in front with the pitchfork in his hand.
Lea came to the place where Nadia was lying on her lie down at the first time, but she found that the latter's chest was bright red and there was no breath.
Leah was sad. The brothers and sisters in a tribe were now fewer and fewer, but she didn't have much time to be sad. In just a short while, two black slaves fell down there, while Wallace and others took this opportunity to fill the bullets.
Lea knew they had to leave, but what she didn't expect was that Rora, who had run the fastest before, suddenly stood there, motionless, and handed Daisy on her back to another black maid.
Leah followed her eyes and saw Wallace, the housekeeper, not far away.
There was anger burning in Rola's eyes. Apart from the time she took off her clothes, Rola kept silent about her scars, and never said how it came about, but seeing her now, Lea understood everything.
"Don't do stupid things. They have five guns. Even if you kill him, you won't be able to come back!" Lea said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Rola's eyes flashed with hesitation. At this time, the two of them had already distanced themselves from the people in front of them. Rola suddenly approached Leah, took advantage of the latter's unpreparedness to snatch the short musket in her hand, and pulled the trigger at Wallace. However, the two sides were more than twenty meters apart, Rola had never practiced shooting skills. The shot deviated from the target without any surprise, but hit the arm of another guard.
A look of hatred appeared on Rora's face, but in the end they did not delay any further. As they had just left, Wallace also loaded bullets and began to shoot them. Leah saw with her own eyes a black maid who came to pick them up was hit on the cheek.
Leah and others retreated with the injured, and Wallace did not dare to push too tightly. After all, there were only five people, and one of them was injured on the arm. If they were really involved in hand-to-hand combat, they would definitely suffer a lot of casualties.
So Wallace could only watch the black slaves disappear into the night.
On the other hand, Laeri also drove his carriage to the gate of the manor. In addition to him, he was accompanied by Cauchy and several other black men. They came from different places, including sailors, fishermen, slaughterhouse owners, etc., but without exception, they had worked as slaves in the colonies, either escaped, or encountered pirates, and eventually they were free.
It is precisely because of the same experience that they have universal sympathy for their fellow compatriots in the island's plantations that a group of people led by Cauchy established a secret organization to help those escaped slaves who ran out of the plantations. Therefore, when Laeri found them, they expressed their willingness to help them as soon as possible.
However, after all, they all have serious jobs on the island. In order to avoid being investigated and retaliated afterwards, they covered their faces when they started tonight.
Under Cauchy's leadership, they quickly killed the guards at the door.
At this time, Leah and others also ran over, and Laeri was stunned. During the previous battle, he found that the noise was a bit loud tonight, but when he received the people, he found that the number of people this time was much higher than he thought.
Fortunately, in order to prevent accidents, they prepared two more horses, and in addition to the slaves in the stables drove out two Malcolm's carriages.
But the pursuers behind him also came quickly. Cauchy and others jumped out of the car, and while looking for cover, they shouted at Laeri, "You go first, I will help you get time. I am not a slave in the manor. As long as they run to a place where no one comes, they can't do anything to me."
Another black man who was a sailor on the pirate ship also said, "I am a member of the vanguard on the Lion. If they dare to touch me, they have to be careful of my brothers on the ship's revenge."
It is not the time to be polite now. Not only the guards of Terence Manor, but the reinforcements from several nearby manors are almost here. Laeri nodded to Cauchy and others, expressing his gratitude.
Seeing that the agreed time had come, and although there were still some people behind him, Laeri no longer planned to wait any longer. He decisively pulled up the reins. Six carriages loaded with black men broke through the darkness and drove towards hope and freedom ahead.
…………
Zhang Heng did not go to the beach, but chose to stay in his place with Anne and Karina, waiting for the final news. He had done almost everything he could do, and the rest could only depend on the situation on Laeri. Of course, he did not put all the chips on the black gladiator, and Zhang Heng also prepared for Laeri's failure.
However, this will undoubtedly make things complicated. In addition, Zhang Heng also noticed that Karina was a little absent-minded tonight.
“Didn’t you take a break during the day?”
"I...I can't sleep a little." The businesswoman showed a reluctant smile.
Zhang Heng handed the brewed coffee to Karina, who thanked him and took the coffee. Before he could say anything, the sailor who came to report the news rushed in, "Captain, Mr. Billy has received the person. The Jackdaw has left the port! Also, this is what the people over there asked me to bring to you."
