Chapter 208 – The Homeless in the Back Alley
There are already more than ten homeless people dragged out by gang members on the road. For a brief interrogation, I approached one of the homeless people lying on the floor with his limbs tied.
“Hey, you bastard.”
“Big… You crazy bastards, why are you doing this all of a sudden!”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? Don’t know The raid that happened yesterday.”
“Black moon… Are you doing this because you attacked the boss?!”
“Then what else is there to contact dirty bastards like you? Who is the guy who spread the information that Al Hergel, the boss of the Black Moon, travels in a carriage and incited you to attack the carriage? Come on, tell me.”
“Fuck you! Do you think you’d say Kaak- tup!”
“Oh shit!”
A homeless pup lying on the floor twisted her body and spat at me.
I threw all my strength into twisting my body to avoid the spit flying in a beautiful parabola.
“Fuck, if you get sick from being hit with your spittle, are you going to take responsibility? You filthy bastard!”
“Fuck!”
I kicked the guy in the stomach as hard as I could. The boy groaned and twisted his body.
The more I think about the guy’s spit almost touching my body, the more I get angry.
“Rather, we should be angry, so why are you in a temper! Uh?!”
“Keuk, keuk, uh… ! Too soon… ! You sick bastard… !”
“Such an asshole…”
The homeless man who had been kicked in the stomach laughed. This bastard… His teammates are also being arrested, but he is laughing even though his side is losing!!
Is it first class ?! Are you a first-class person who smiles even in pain?! Or are you out of your mind?
I left the homeless man who was laughing at the subject who had been beaten to death and turned away. I asked the other guys about the guy who instigated them to kill Hergel, but they all got the same reaction. They tried to bite me by swearing or moving their tied bodies like bugs.
“What kind of cooperation is this with beggars?”
My back hurt from squatting for a long time to interrogate beggars. She lifted her body up, straightened her waist, and looked toward the alley.
Several gang members walked out from the back of the alley. Instead of dragging the homeless like other gang members, they are coming out supporting each other.
“What are the ashes?”
I looked closely. One of them puts her shoulder and supports her and drags her out. The one being supported has his head down with one hand clutching his stomach.
Germi also saw that and approached.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Bo, Boss! The beggars resist. One of the beggars jumped at her with a knife and stabbed her in the stomach.”
“What did you do with the dumpling bastard?”
“Other gang members will be beating them up and dragging them out.”
“Good job. Send the wounded to the Black Moon, show the healer the wounds.”
“Yes!”
Following Germi’s instructions, the organizers supported her on the shoulders and left on the other side of the road.
Germi, who was looking at the back of the wounded as they left, turned to look at me.
“Because it was a sudden attack until now, she could have easily caught and dragged her out, but the more you catch them, the stronger the resistance will be.”
“The guys who used the crossbow to catch Hergel haven’t been caught yet.”
“If the homeless gather in one place and hold a sit-in, then you have to be prepared for deaths.”
Great things come with sacrifices. It’s okay because I’m not going to die, but if there are many deaths while catching beggars, there is a risk that morale will drop. That should be taken care of
Especially if you use a crossbow or something like that, there won’t be one or two deaths. At that time, it may be necessary to step forward with Natalya.
“Your handsome brother, what are you so worried about?”
Roin’s voice was heard along with a soft feeling on his back.
“Ah, Ron. Did you tell Phillips about it?”
“Huh. He was very excited when he told me about the plan.”
“Nice.”
After stroking the head of the old man who was clinging to his back as if he were being carried on his back, he looked at the inside of the alley where the gang members were busy moving.
The movement that I felt inside became bustling.
“What… ?”
“Jason got hit!”
“Fuck, the resistance is too strong! Quickly inform the boss!”
Several gang members hurriedly escaped from inside the alley and ran straight at us.
“Boss!”
“What.”
“They shot crossbows. Jason is dead!”
“Guide me. I will go myself.”
Germi snapped her neck, she said confidently.
“Germi, a crossbow could be dangerous for you too.”
“I am the boss. I can’t back down when her men are calling for help.”
“I think Natalya’s skeleton would be fine.”
The steel skeleton Natalya summons has a sturdy iron shield and won’t hurt you, so it should be safe enough for the crossbows they shoot.
Natalya also nodded at my opinion.
“Yes, a steel skeleton will suffice. You can summon a troll skeleton.”
“Okay, let’s go in.”
“Are you going in now?”
Trisian, who was at a distance, came up to me and started talking to me.
“There have been fatalities. They say they shot crossbows.”
“It has become more certain that it was they who attacked Al Hergel.”
A crossbow is an expensive item. It’s not something that beggars in the back alley can get. The guys with crossbows now are definitely the ones who were at the scene when Al Hergel was attacked.
“I will summon a skeleton in order to reduce the number of injured as much as possible and safely subdue them. Will there be any problem?”
“In principle, we are supposed to refrain from summoning the hideous undead in order to maintain good manners and morals in the city, but it’s better than having the dead appear. Do it.”
“Hey Natalie. Let’s call in.”
“Yes.”
Skeleton summoning within the city, which is prohibited by law, is also permitted.
With Trissian’s permission, Natalya threw several white and steel spheres on the floor and waved her fine white hands in the air like an orchestra conductor.
A blue light shimmered from his fingertips and began to seep into the sphere.
The spheres disintegrated, and the shape of the bones appeared and began to snap together as if assembled.
Trisian, who was next to him, reacted in surprise.
“S, so many skeletons at once… ! Besides, that size… Are those the bones of a troll?”
Surprised by the number of skeletons, surprised by troll skeletons.
“Germi, let’s leave the rough work to the skeleton. Any complaints?”
“Um… Okay.”
I entered the alley with the skeletons in front. The alley is filled with troll skeletons.
“What is that monster!”
“There’s a boss behind you!”
“Looks like the boss’ subordinate!”
The voices of the gangsters full of astonishment could be heard from here and there in the alley.
“It’s pretty much organized.”
“Germi! This way!”
Danny Ahn waved his hand from far away in the alley. As we approached the place where Danian was, we saw several corpses of the gang members who had fallen on the floor. Bolts are embedded in his body. Germi clicked his tongue.
“These rotten bastards…”
“Germi-sama, most of the alleys have been cleared. The problem is that homeless people who heard the news of our raid are gathering in the empty lot and holding a sit-in.”
“Guide me.”
“Yes!”
Danny Ahn answered vigorously and started walking in the lead. Skeletons and my women walked behind them. Including Trisian, of course.
After turning the alley a few times to enter, I saw a wide empty lot where the alleys merged.
Members of the organization could not go out into the clearing, hiding behind cover and staring at the clearing.
Danny Ahn, who was giving directions, pointed to an empty lot across the street.
“This is an empty lot. Abandoned furniture or wood is piled up on the empty lot side and they are holding a sit-in. Since it is an empty field, there are quite a few guys who died after being hit by crossbows while trying to approach.”
At Danny Ahn’s words, he looked towards the clearing and frowned. Wood was piled up, and sharpened wooden spears could be seen between them. It looks like a hedgehog.
Trissian looked at the wooden barrier and gave a brief admiration.
“It looks like it was built in a hurry, but it’s a pretty well built wall. Are there any experts?”
“So anyway. They’re beggars.”
The tactic is to build weak bones. No matter how hard you prepare, if you push it with a strong skeleton, there is no answer.
The attack doesn’t work, so how are you going to deal with it?
“Hey Natalie. Push it away.”
“Yes.”
At my command, Natalia’s skeletons raised their shields and strode into the clearing. Several bolts flew between the barriers with a sharp sound.
The tower shield the troll skeleton was holding was tilted slightly to the side, causing the bolts to bounce off.
Of course, because there were quite a number of bolts fired, not all of them bounced, and a few of them made a dull noise and went deep into the shield or penetrated with great force and crashed into the bones of the troll skeleton.
If it was a human, it could have been seriously injured and missed the shield, but that was a skeleton, not a human. I don’t know pain, and I don’t even know death.
“The crossbow has the advantage of being easy to use and powerful, but it has the disadvantage of taking time to reload once fired.”
The commentary of Trisian, who was watching, continued. As if her words were true, she said no additional bolts flew until the troll skeleton approached the barrier.
The troll skeleton lifted the gigantic Zwei Hender, over 180 cm high, and slammed it into the barrier.
Splinters of broken trees splattered and a few loosely stacked pieces of furniture spilled out. Through the gap, I could see the faces of homeless people full of surprise.
“Ah!!”
“There was no mention of a monster like this!”
“Hehe, kids, your surprised expression is excellent.”
Illegal structures must be demolished. Get out of the room you bastards.
