After they shook hands, Joseph and two other mercenaries escorted David to the armoury located in the building. A lot of the weapons in the armoury were rusty knives. There were several swords, but they were all dirty or rusty. Other than the melee weapons, there were less than ten firearms. The mercenaries rarely used them as ammunition was scarce.
"How are you going to fight anyone with your weapons in this state?" David asked a rhetorical question. Joseph sighed. "Exactly. May I request you to collect some weapons for us?"
"I know just the way to do it. Throw out all your weapons, I'm getting new ones for you all."
David spent the next two days searching around for weapons. On the first day he did not find any weapons but on the second day, in the village of New Dorp, David found what he needed. Two British officers and two British soldiers were on a horse-drawn wagon. The officers were guiding the horses while the soldiers were at the back of the wagon, guarding it. David managed to catch a glimpse of what was inside the wagon. There were many weapons inside. David smiled and put his hood on.
Right after putting his hood on, David followed the wagon. He had to admit, fighting and running with his old Assassin robes was much easier than fighting in plainclothes. David was walking quickly and not running among the crowd so the soldiers could not see him.
In less than a minute, David was within reach of the wagon. He leaped and grabbed hold of the back of the wagon. David hoisted himself up onto the wagon and threw one of the soldiers out of the wagon. The second soldier turned to face David and drew his sword. He was about to shout something when David covered his mouth and pushed the soldier out of the wagon
David crept up on one of the British officers and kicked him off the wagon. The other British officer hastily pulled his pistol out. Before the officer could aim the pistol at David, he snatched the pistol from the officer and punched him out of the wagon. David rode the wagon back to the mercenaries' hideout in Richmond Town.
About an hour later, David arrived at the mercenaries' hideout. He called Joseph out. Joseph came out a few seconds later along with four other mercenaries. The mercenaries got into the wagon and began bringing the weapons back into the building.
"By the gods, I thought you were joking! After meeting you that day I thought I would never see you again. To think you actually came back, with so many weapons!"
David told Joseph, "I kept my promise. David asked, "How did you get so many weapons in less than a week?"
"I stole a British Army wagon," David told him the truth. Joseph was thoroughly surprised. "Are you shitting me?"
Shaking his head, David explained, "I saw the wagon in New Dorp. I threw four British Army men off the wagon and rode it back here. No one killed."
"The Army won't be able to identify you?" David nodded. "It took less than half a minute. I was wearing a hood too."
"In any case, I give you my thanks, David."
