Chapter 40 The Hostages Arrived at the Rock City

After half a month's hard work, the hostages finally saw hope.

They were still dozens of miles from the Rock City and could reach it by noon today.

"Do you think we will stay in the tent?"

Someone asked worriedly in a low voice.

The Rock City had just gone through a war, and it should still be in a state of waste. It was completely possible for them to live in tents.

"You'd better be prepared."

Li replied with a sneer.

Hearing this, everyone just sped up.

Li and Zachary had been disdaining the aborigines leader for more than one or two days. Since they were players, they thought they could defeat the aborigines in the world of the game.

The towering walls of the Rock City appeared in front of everyone.

The city wall didn't feel like experiencing war at all. There were even many black and bright cannons on it.

Those were the fire snake cannon that Tom had put on to strengthen the city defense.

When they arrived at the gate of the city and were stopped for inspection, a group of people walked towards them as soon as they were asked their names.

"We are Count Tom's guards. We are here to take you into the city."

They briefly introduced themselves and directly took the six hostages to the prepared residence.

The streets were crowded with people and shouts.

It had only been half a month. Is Rock City already this busy?

Seeing this scene, they were a little shocked.

It was said that the aborigines count had issued a series of preferential policies.

First of all, a large number of tax concessions were given with a large amount of money, attracting a large number of commercial houses to enter and trade here.

Because of war, aborigines count also ordered to distribute a large amount of food and a series of allowances, which cost over ten thousand.

If the land was damaged, they could get an extra allowance and seeds for sale at a discount.

After a series of policies, Tom had completely won the support of the citizens in Rock City.

After all, although it was not extreme pressure in the past, it was only barely able to survive.

"Who are you?"

The guards in black armor on patrol on the street stopped them as soon as they saw them.

"Capture of the count."

Capture!

Hearing such rude and even insulting words, both Li and Zachary blushed.

Who was the capture?

If it weren't for their unlucky encounter with the children of these leaders, how could they end up like this?

However, they had no choice but to follow these soldiers.

"Then you can go there."

Hearing this, the guards let them in and continued to patrol the street.

Zachary walked with Li. Hunter, Lillian, and Jacob walked together, and Sarah walked alone.

"You just stay here and wait for the summoning of the count."

The soldier led the way and stopped in front of the seemingly fine mansion.

"If you want to go street, you must have guards accompanying you. If you are interrogated your identity on the street and you don't have guards accompanying you, you will be regarded as escaping."

Those who ran away would be directly thrown into prison. What would happen to them would be terrible.

After warning the six people, several guards walked out of the mansion and took them to their rooms.

After taking a shower, Hunter made an appointment with Lillian.

They wondered when the aborigines count would order to see them.

With different thoughts, they opened the chat group coincidentally.

"It seems difficult to escape."

Originally, Li wanted to take advantage of some opportunity to escape and establish his force to make some achievements.

But now it seemed to be a little difficult to escape, so he had to find another way.

"Be confident. You can't escape at all."

Their identities could be interrogated at any time on the street, and the inspection of going out of the city was very strict. It was troublesome to go out.

"It seems that we have to wait here for the so-called Count Tom."

Hunter and Lillian, on the other hand, had the thought that they could live as they liked.

"It's not bad here. We didn't get hurt."

There were luxurious rooms and delicious food.

Li did not care about these things.

Sarah still didn't say anything.

Hearing the prompt tone, Tom opened the chat group. Seeing their comments, he smiled.

If you want to escape.

The ashes would be buried in the Rock City!

"Young master, several hostages have arrived at the Rock City."

Butler Reagan put the hot tea on the table gently.

"What are their names?"

Jacob, Li, Zachary, Hunter, Lillian, and Sarah.

Well, six members of the seven hostages’ team had arrived.

"It's these six people. Young master, when are you going to summon them?"

When?

"Let's talk about it later. Send someone to keep an eye on them these days."

Tom wanted to see if anyone among the six would jump out to be the first one to stand out.

"Yes, young master."

After a good night's rest, Hunter and Lillian came to the street.

As soon as they came to the street, they met a group of guards who were interrogating the trade team. They found a guy who had sneaked in and took him away.

"It's very strict."

Hunter commented, "The aborigines count is a smart person."

The two kept their voices down.

Lillian agreed.

"Maybe it's not bad to follow count."

The two thought at the same time.

"Where do you two want to go?"

The guard asked meticulously.

"City wall."

Hunter wanted to see the cannons on the city wall with his own eyes.

Lillian wanted to go to the street to have a look, so the two separated.

The guards didn't stop Hunter so he came to the city wall smoothly.

Armed soldiers stood beside each cannon, ready to fight.

"Is this the fire snake cannon?"

Hunter asked the guard kindly.

His attitude was kind, so the guards didn't pull a long face.

"Yes."

It was said that the special cannonball of this cannon would form a sea of fire when it was shot to the ground. Now it seemed to be true.

Although he couldn't see the mark on the cannon, he could feel it.

He felt the power of the cannon.

Not far away, Li was watching these cannons.

The aborigines count did have an unexpected force.

He was reluctant to admit it.

There was no way to escape, and now it was very difficult to protect himself.

At the sight of Hunter, the two greeted each other and brushed past each other.

"Count summons."

Not long after they went back, someone came to their place and passed on the latest order.

"Someone will pick you up to the meeting hall tomorrow morning."

The guard left after saying that.

They had different thoughts, but they didn't ask more.

Li went back to his room, opened the private chat channel with Zachary, and sent him a message.

At nine o'clock the next morning, the guards came to escort them to the meeting hall.

They all looked relaxed. When they walked into the spacious meeting room, they saw a figure with his back to them.

The figure turned around.
