The City of Terror
chapter-303

 On the other hand, the two people in front of him were not of the same race. Moreover, they had errant heart against Reannie causing them to aim their killing intent at him. This were enough to make Wei Xiao Bei pass down the death penalty against them.

Whether it was because of concern for the same race or because of his protective instincts, Wei Xiao Bei did not have a good impression of the two, even if they did not direct their killing intent at him.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did not have the impulse of killing the both of them in front of Leanne.

After chatting a few words, Wei Xiao Bei asked Leanne how she entered the Dust World.

This had also brought up the relationship between all of them.

Although Albert and Alan did not look identical, they were twins born in Paris. By coincidence, they had entered Leanne’s family dojo. After seeing a beauty like Leanne, they had began to strongly woo her.

Tasopulo was a farmer from Argentina that had yearned for the outside world ever since he was young. After he came to France from Argentina, he wanted to join the French Foreign Legion and gain a permanent residency permit for France.

Who knew that the demand for the foreign legion was not low. In the end, he had been weeded out, resulting in him going to Leanne’s family dojo to establish his foundations.

The cause of how they entered the Dust World was simple. Because the two brothers were wooing Reannie, she disliked them. On the contrary, her relation with Tasopulo was not bad.

Naturally, Tasopulo was already almost 30 years old, so he did not have any thoughts of wooing Reannie. Moreover, their natures were just like children having pure thoughts. Thus it was easy to persuade them.

In this way, the twin brothers dragged Tasopulo to invite Reannie to go to karaoke.

Reannie was a martial artist’s daughter, so she more or less knew martial arts. With his childish playfulness, she went without being afraid that the two brothers would do anything.

In the end, they opened a karaoke room. When they had just had a chorus of singing Eason Chan’s Ten Years, they had instantly appeared in the Dust World.

They were not startled at all when they first entered the Dust World.

They simply could not understand why Paris had instantly become a ruined place. Moreover, there were sounds of guns and cannons as if they had returned to the time of war.

In the end, they noticed that they had truly returned to a time of war.

The first time that Wei Xiao Bei entered the Dust World, he had killed the Thunder Worm and gained a lot of benefits. On the other hand, when the four of them first entered, they had hid in the upper floors and did not dare come down until they left the Dust World. When they had returned to reality, they had finally understood that they had entered a mysterious world.

The second time they entered the Dust World was also due to karaoke. However, their performance this time was a lot better. At the very least, they had thought of a way to kill two Prussian soldiers and steal their flintlock guns. Although Prussian flintlocks were a bit worse than French-made ones, they had still obtained weapons and eliminated enemies from a different country.

This had slightly increased their strength.

When they encountered Wei Xiao Bei on this day, it was already their third time entering the Dust World. It was also the first time they took the initiative to use karaoke as a way to enter the Dust World.

After understanding their experiences, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but smile.

In truth, the way they entered the Dust World was very inconvenient.

If music was played on the television and they had sung with it, there was a chance that they could enter the Dust World.

“Okay. Let’s search for a safer place to continue our chat. We could go to the karaoke place that you came from.”

Wei Xiao Bei looked at the surroundings. There was a possibility that the Austrian cavalry that had ran away would return with reinforcement. Wei Xiao Bei knew that the soldiers were weak, but the officers with them might not be so.

This place was the Dust World and not reality. There were many things that could not be explained by common sense.

This place was Paris. There were many people in the real world causing the Dust World to be a bit more mixed up.

“Okay.”

Tasopulo was the first to agree. Reannie was the second to agree. With this, the two brothers could not help but also nod their heads in agreement. Even if they both looked unyielding, they knew that this place was not safe.

Only Reannie had regrets of leaving the place. For her, this place was the famous Champs Elysees Avenue, but when she looked into the store, the clothes were tattered and the perfume had gone bad. If this was not so, she would have stuffed a bag full of clothes and tens of perfume before leaving.

The twin brothers lead the front while pulling on horses each. Wei Xiao Bei and Reannie were in the middle, and Tasopulo was at the back while pulling on a horse.

War horses that had just been subdued were hard to control. At the very least, they did not dare ride them yet. They needed to let the war horses become familiar with them orelse the war horses would run everywhere and bring trouble.

When they left the Champs Elysees Avenue, they entered a small alleyway, and the two brothers began muttering things to each other. Soon, Albert turned his head and spoke, “Hey partner. If you’re a man, then come open the path with us in front or maybe you’re scared?”

“Sure.”

Wei Xiao Bei could roughly guess what the two were up to, but he did not care about it. He imitated the Western habit of shrugging shoulders as he walked forward.

“Don’t go over. The two will play tricks on you.”

The kind-hearted Tasopulo extended his hand to Wei Xiao Bei and whispered.

At this moment, Reannie wanted to go forward and give trouble to the twins.

“No need. They don’t count as much in my eyes, really.”

Wei Xiao Bei smiled and pulled back Reannie.

“Then, be careful.”

Reannie appeared to have a good impression of Wei Xiao Bei, so she worriedly warned him.

On the other hand, Tasopulo appeared helpless.

Wei Xiao Bei walked to the very front. Soon, Albert raised the flintlock in his hand and spoke in a voice that Reannie could not hear, “Boy, do you see my gun?”

“And also my muscle?” Alan was not to be outdone as he pulled up his sleeves.

“I see. I see. I’m truly terrified.”

The corners of Wei Xiao Bei’s mouth raised up. He already noticed that 20 meters behind the corner ahead, a group of red-clothed soldiers had appeared.

The red-clothed soldiers should be England’s forces. They wore red military uniforms and Nelson’s hats. Some raised their matchlock guns, and some pushed bronze cannons.

This was something that could not be helped. Compared to other superpowers of Europe, 19th century England was the slowest in the development of military weapons. It could be said that it was the country that was last to change matchlock guns into flintlock guns.

Naturally, the power of the English forces during this era was nothing to scoff at. Even with just matchlock guns, they were actually able to contend against the French army. This was already a great feat.

“If you know fear, then stay away from Reannie. Or else.”

Albert was not that smart. He did not actually sense the sarcasm in Wei Xiao Bei’s words and proudly flexed his arm muscles.

Albert’s protruding muscles truly made him appear strong to the normal person.

If Wei Xiao Bei saw this before he entered the Dust World, even he would enviously gaze at them.

However, Albert’s muscles were simply a joke in Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes.

He was thinking that Albert could be blind as he did not even notice the bulging muscles under Wei Xiao Bei’s clothes.

Naturally, the situation developed at how Wei Xiao Bei had expected.

“Albert, Albert. Look to the front.”

Alan pulled Albert’s arm in a panic as he pointed to the front.

At this moment, a row of five English soldiers turned the corner appearing extremely old-fashioned manner. While maintaining an orderly pace, they moved towards Wei Xiao Bei and the other’s direction. Behind them, more rows of English soldiers appeared in an old-fashioned manner. At the fifth row, there were four men pushing a bronze cannon.

Without a doubt, this troop was not weak. This could be seen just from their discipline.

After seeing Wei Xiao Bei and the others, the English forces immediately reacted. With an order, they immediately squatted down and gathered their matchlock guns at the gunpowder stores.

Bang!

The volley sounded, but because of the distance, the bullets landed in who knew where.

However, this had scared the twin brothers.

The two brothers might appear to be unyielding, but when the English forces began shooting, their words were full of stutters, “I-It’s the E-E-English.”

“Run, quickly run away.”

The might not have been able to say things clearly after being scared, but their reactions were not slow. They dragged their flintlocks and got up onto the war horses, urging the horses to quickly run and leave Wei Xiao Bei behind.

They did not even pay any attention to Reannie as they escaped past Tasopulo. They only passed down a few words, “We will lay an ambush in front.”

From the appearance, their way of handling things was not wrong.

Just now, the amount of English forces that appeared exceeded 30 people.

However, the problem was that they had escaped far away without any intention to lay an ambush at all. Even the pure Reannie could see through this. The two brothers had treated them as bait to slow down the English forces and ran for their lives.

The worst part was that they had taken two flintlock guns with them. In the four people group, they only had three flintlock guns. Tasopulo had one while Reannie only had a cavalry sword that he had picked up from the Austrian cavalrymen.

“Those two pigs.” Tasopuloangrily cursed, but that was all he could do.

At this moment, the number of English soldiers that appeared had exceeded 30 people. They arranged themselves into three squadrons as they fired at the three of them from afar. Although the distance was far and the accuracy was bad, there were tens of bullets firing per round. The first to be hit was the last war horse having holes opened on its body as it collapsed on the ground with a neigh.
