237 Interlude(1/2)
"Hoo, ho..."
In the tall and deep main building of the fortress, an embarrassed figure was running continuously in the narrow corridor. Frequently looking behind him, he kept opening and closing any door in his path, looking for a suitable place for him to escape.
At the same time, he also tried his best to cover up the direction of his escape. However, it had been some time since he appeared in this area. Even with a little familiarity, he still could not get rid of the person who had been chasing him.
Come on.
Originally, he could not be so embarrassed, but leisurely be an ordinary soldier, and then follow the troops of the principality that are about to be defeated, leaving this place that is about to fall. Now, for this disheveled, pale-faced man,
The arrival of this guy was indeed a bit unexpected, because until now, even he himself didn't know the reason why he was discovered.
Why was his identity discovered? Why... was that guy chasing after him so closely?
After passing through several aisles, the guy wearing a somewhat tattered public uniform shook his head full of question marks, then turned over some military supplies that had collapsed to the ground due to the violent explosion, and turned around and threw out some of them.
A wooden box, and then turned around and ran to the other direction of the maze-like complex fortress passage - according to his memory, there should be a downward staircase at the end, leading to the underground waterway of the fortress, where the terrain is better than the one above.
It's more complicated. If you can hide in that place, you may be able to escape the pursuit of the evil star behind you.
The sound of a wooden box being broken came from the corner behind him. He gritted his teeth, then climbed over the handrail next to the stairs and jumped directly from it. The front gradually became dark, and there was a rhythmic clang.
It came vaguely, and he was panting and his eyes narrowed, and the image of the person who should have existed in that place suddenly appeared in his mind.
He is actually still here...but this may not be an opportunity.
With a little more force under his feet, the soldier tugged on his collar, and then wiped the blood on his forehead all over his face, making the already ugly image even more embarrassing. Then he reached the bottom of the stairs.
At that moment, the heavy door suddenly opened.
"Blacksmith! Our fortress is under attack!" he shouted.
The wide and damp hall seemed to be filled with a decaying atmosphere due to disrepair. The suddenly opened door seemed to scare away some rats looking for food, but the man did not flee towards them in a hurry.
Looking in that direction, he looked instead at the corner of the hall, the only relatively dry place - a shirtless strong man was holding a hammer that was completely inconsistent with his body, sitting there quietly and hammering
He looked at the iron block in front of him. A powerful stove was burning on the other side of him, and the color reflected in the surroundings was as red as blood. Through the light of the stove, the burly body on one side of the strong man also became clear.
It can be seen that even the sweat dripping down the muscled arms seemed to be clearly visible to him. However, the blacksmith he was talking about at this time did not seem to be aware of the shout he just made.
The hammer that kept beating seemed to have no intention of stopping.
"Master! Master Flo!" So the man ran towards the figure of the strong man: "Stop knocking! Fars Fortress is in danger, the enemies are coming! Why are you still like this..."
The pounding sound suddenly stopped, and just as a smile appeared on the soldier's face, the sound of iron melting into cold water reached his ears. The man's face darkened, and he stepped closer.
: "Master! The enemy has been chasing behind me and will be here soon. You..."
"How could the pride of Ernifia, the eternal city of the principality, be captured so easily?"
The hoarse voice sounded like spring thunder, echoing in the dark hall. Even the messy materials placed on the other side seemed to be shaking slightly because of the sound. The soldier-like figure
The guy seemed to be frightened by this sudden sentence, and he took two steps back involuntarily. He scratched his head in annoyance, then stepped forward again and said: "But...but this is a fact! You see
I'm like this, how have I been beaten... Well, I am, my comrades have been killed and injured countless times, and even my captain has fallen on the battlefield above. What else can't you believe?
?Didn’t anyone come to inform you before..."
The sound of tapping feet came from the steps behind him, and the soldier's expression changed again, and his voice became urgent: "Master! The enemy is coming, you... you better hide first..."
"I won't hide or run away."
The sound of muffled thunder sounded again, but the strong man still looked at the work in front of him, with no intention of looking back: "Even if Old Man Kang comes, I won't leave."
Hey, it seems...something doesn't work.
The light in the soldier's eyes turned, and then he calmly took two steps back: "You, you can't be like this, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the people in the fortress and the principality!
If you die, it will be a great loss to us..."
"I ask you."
The blacksmith suddenly turned his head. Between his gray head and beard, a pair of copper bell-like eyes stared closely at the man in front of him: "How was the Fars Fortress breached?"
"ah?"
Perhaps shocked by this sudden question, the soldier's breath suffocated, and then he raised his hands: "Yes... I heard that the city gate was blown up by a magic bomb secretly sent in by the empire..."
"...That's it." Those glaring eyes slowly lowered their heads: "So that's it..."
"Yes, yes, hehehe..."
Unconsciously waving his hands, the soldier in ragged clothes listened to the footsteps approaching the door, and his eyes began to glance at the entrance to the sewer on the other side: "That, that... Since you are so insistent, then I
Just first..."
The next moment, he turned around suddenly and ran toward the exit where the rat that had been scared away ran away. Behind him, the patter of footsteps stopped in front of the heavy door, as if it was
What are you waiting for?
Huh, so you are also afraid of this blacksmith...
With a proud smile on his face, the soldier poured all the strength he had just recovered into his legs, and rushed to the entrance of the sewer in an instant. The smile he showed when he looked back was about to disappear.
into the darkness of the entrance. However, before he could fully stretch his smile, a sharp sound broke through the air from far to near, and it instantly touched the back of his heart.
The black iron block was like lightning, stabbing the soldier who was about to be submerged in the darkness to his core.
“The quality is good...what a pity.”
The blacksmith shook his head, then picked up another piece of black iron from his side and inserted it into the furnace next to him with his bare hands: "Come in."
"Hello, Master."
As the heavy wooden door was pushed open again, Spartak's voice came from the air behind the door: "I would like to excuse you, have you seen..."
"over there."
Before the other party could finish, the blacksmith pointed to the other end of the hall with one arm and replied, while the other arm was still spinning the material in his hand steadily: "Oh, I forgot to tell him..."
"Someone has already come to notify me."
***********************
"How's it going? The empire's latest news?"
In front of the west gate of the fortress, as rumbling sounds passed by him, Captain Larson laughed and said to the people around him: "The idiots in the principality always laugh at our backward magic technology and rough magic skills, so use this thing
Let them see how wrong they are!"
"This is the legacy of the ancient magic empire. Try its power! Hahahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Beside him, Liangchen Meiyu tried hard to control the frightened horse under her crotch, but her heart was as hot as a furnace: "The guys in the principality would never have thought that we would have such a thing. Their city walls are like this.
The steel giant will also become vulnerable..."
"Hahahaha!" As if venting his feelings and declaring his strength to everyone, the cavalry captain continued to laugh: "As long as this thing is here, even without those bombs, we can do it
Easily take down the walls of Fars Fortress...Brothers!"
"exist!"
"Follow our previous training... press forward! Take down Fars in one go!"
"yes!"
The sky-shaking shouts were instantly drowned out by the rumbling roar of steel chariots. With an unstoppable advance, they immediately arrived at the west gate of the fortress. The gate had been submerged by the previous tidal wave of offensives.
Nearby, a captain of a principality covered in blood is still fighting here. Although his strength seems to be stronger than the players imagined, after such a long battle, the weapon in his hand has been curled several times.
, changed several times. The fatigue in his eyes showed that he seemed to have no reaction to the chariot that was about to rush over in front of him, and the arrival of that chariot also rushed the team of several players who had just come to rescue.
Scattered around: "Wow!"
"What the hell is this?"
"Twinkle, everyone disperse!"
"Frey Empire, move forward!"
Amidst the passionate shouts of the surrounding imperial soldiers, a long sword that was about to hit his shoulder suddenly appeared next to Captain Silenko. The unconscious captain reluctantly made an evasive action, and then was suddenly struck by a sword.
It was knocked away with a huge force.
"Hide!"
Bang!
The powerful charge knocked the captain away and also brought several nearby empires to the ground. Before these soldiers with high morale could get up again, a bright fireball suddenly appeared beside them.
, the next moment an unstable light appeared.
boom!
"Cough cough, cough cough... see you next time."
"How is this possible?"
"Practice, just practice more...heart!"
He spoke like a warning, but the hands of Colorful Spiritual Light made a move first, dragging the red girl to the right side of the city gate, near the blind spot where the enemy could not see, and then suddenly raised the round shield -
- Where he stood, the body of the steel chariot that had just passed by suddenly shot out a rain of crossbow arrows, some of which were shot in his direction.
To be continued...
