Chapter 1313 - A Deadly Suprise
Walking away, Landon thought about the scene deeply.
Those guards... The men with Java were all holding special weapons that he instantly recognized.
That was a Modao Saber in spear form!
What a deadly surprise.
To put it simply, it was a combination of a spear and a longsword.
On end was the sharp spear edge and on another end was a long sword attached to it.
Those who wielded the bloody weapon could kill opponents from either end, twirling the heavy weapons around as they pleased.
Make no mistake! This weapon was one of the bloodiest that could slice through armor in the hands of a brutal warrior.
This weapon was considered a heavy one to carry on the battlefield, 4 times heavier than the ordinary weapon.
This alone could show the strength of those wielding it.
They would have to train themselves from a young age to get used to the weight. And the present them probably thought that the weight was a standard one.
Maybe when holding an ordinary sword, they now didn't feel anything, staying longer in battle with the blades at hand.
In short, the situation was akin to how Goku in Dragon Ball would train with weights always on his body.
After taking off the weights, one wouldn't feel the pressure that much.
Landon's face turned grim.
'As expected. There are a lot of dangerous forces outside Pyno. We have to be careful.' He thought.
To cast such a weapon used a special forging method to make the iron harder than normal.
Maybe this was why Pyno wasn't able to create such a weapon.
Back on earth, General Li Siye of the Tang Dynasty was able to cut both a horse and a rider in half with a fatal swing.
In the hands of a beast, this weapon was too severe. And the way many trained in this world, coupled with the strange foods and plants, Landon was sure that people in this world were genetically more potent than those back on earth.
So one couldn't even begin to comprehend the danger of being around such a weapon.
Of course, secretly, he also wanted to know if such a weapon could slice their guns into 2.
Dammit!
He didn't factor in such powerful weapons while entering Dafaren.
Now that he was aware of their presence, they had to stay vigilant in case those in the Capital also had them too.
.
Look left, look right... Landon, Josh and many already knew that they were being followed.
But to keep up the disguise of being seemingly ordinary peasants or freed slaves, they had to pretend that they knew nothing about it.
Like that, they continued to cower, shriek and move forward with a certain inferiority complex embedded in their skins.
And though it was a little past midnight, the streets were still filled with drunken people either going home or heading towards a pleasure house.
On the street corners, there were also some late-night customers seeking a few last-minute items when needed from the nearby street hawkers.
Some only moved about to enjoy their evening stroll, while others were closing off work for today, though late.
Farmers could be seen returning from the woods an hour away from the central city, and many others just roamed around the streets pickpocketing.
The only thing that the streets seemed to lack a lot of were the numerous carriages, wagons and horses that one would find during the day.
Of course, be it taverns or other businesses still open, it all had to stop by 2 A.M max. Whether one was, they had to sleep there, less they got into trouble with the many City guards.
Being seen out and about after that time was risky because it could be assumed that one was an enemy, assassin or a suspicious person.
The city gates would be closed, those docking in would have to officially spend the nights in their ships after laying the Dock keepers, and even those in pleasure homes would have to spend the night with the gorgeous ladies until the city gates were officially opened at 4:30 A.M.
It was only a little past midnight, meaning they still had time to find a place to lay and rest!
.
With their plan in motion, Landon and the gang began their search for the peasant-serving taverns, asking for directions when need be.
And soon enough, they arrived at a Tavern with countless drunk people laying outside, with some kissing the bar ladies and others just having a good old bar fight out in the open.
Josh, Landon and the rest only walked over the many bodies, making their way to the front desk.
"2 rooms!"
"Oh yeah?" The girl quickly peeked at their entourage in understanding.
18 people in 2 rooms? This wasn't strange. Peasants didn't have the money to ensure a room per person.
The girl only looked at their faces and attire before spitting out the price: "50 copper coins per night. Pay up, or pack up and leave!"
"No. No... We have the money... Here, here it is." One of the marine ladies said, opening her pouch that had exactly 50 copper coins in it.
They had long distributed money in their pouches, with some carrying 20, 50, 100, etc.
This way, they could act as though this was all the money had whenever the situation called for it.
The girl looked aggrieved to give out so much money, but she still bit her lips and did as she was told, exposing the contents of her pouch.
And the girl at the front only casually glanced at a few burly men at the sides as though telling them that these ones weren't worth the trouble.
Yes! They also robbed loaded peasants too.
Listening to the words of Josh and the rest after she asked them if they wanted any food or drinks, she concluded that they were truly broke.
Moreover, they seemed to want to sleep in the barn tomorrow night because this was all they had.
Really not worth the trouble.
.
"Alright. Follow her; she'll show you to your rooms.... Now step aside and give way; I'm done with ya!"
