Chapter 189: Tranquility (1)

If I take on the task of guarding the slave trapping team and military supplies of the underground tribes, I will be the stupidest mercenary on this continent - mercenary - Lisbon

"Puff" Xia Zuo hit the humanoid creature bound in the chair with two heavy punches, making a frightening dull sound, and the body of the humanoid creature who was caught off guard spasmed, and immediately sprayed two mouthfuls of blood from his mouth to make his chest blood-red, "Say!Who gave you the order to cross the defense area and open the alley from the north city gate!!" The vicious Xia Zuo brought his face close to the person being interrogated, pinching his neck to make him look into his devouring eyes, and the person being tortured seemed to be a little confused in addition to the violent reaction of spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, presumably because the torture he had experienced before had not subsided. After waiting for a few seconds and not receiving a response, Xia Zuo looked at him suspiciously, only to notice that the torturer's eyes were already a little blurred, and his neck was softly tilted to the side, "Phew, waste" Xia Zuo scooped a scoop of ice water from the bucket next to him, and splashed it directly on the face of the tortured, looking at the tortured person who was stimulated by the cold and cold water, Xia Zuo repeated the previous words again, this time hearing Xia Zuo's question, the tortured person barely straightened his head, but his eyes were not clear, and he was almost stunned for a few seconds, before he cleared his throat and said weakly, "This question, hey, I've said it many times, it's your order, Lord Xia Zuo!" Although his voice was weak but unwavering, "Smack" Another slap, Xia Zuo glared angrily, and slapped the victim in the face without hesitation, "Still talking nonsense, I have never given this order, who is it! Who made you frame me, say it or not, don't say it, don't say it, I will let you taste my methods, let you feel the taste of life is worse than death." Xia Zuo, who was personally executed, was about to explode at this time, and threatened without words, without noticing that Neais who was sitting on the high platform had changed his face a little, the tortured person was Central City, the former East Gate Garrison, Xia Zuo was very angry, although he had been tortured for a few prayers, but this hard-mouthed East Gate Garrison still insisted that he was a traitor to the Restoration Society, and Xia Zuo, who had never been rebellious, knew very well that his thoughts were not important, the key was that Niais did not believe it, "How can I be a traitor!" What am I?! Ah, are you really not afraid of death? Do you want to see the methods of the Restoration Society's Judicial Department? Okay, well, I will fulfill you. Xia Zuo, who was furious, said three good words in a row, and then scolded angrily and looked at the execution rack on the side of the torture room, his eyes lingering on it looking for the tools he had in hand. "Wait, Natsuzo. Niahis's indifferent voice sounded from above, Xia Zuo's expression couldn't help but stiffen, and the hand holding the nail whip was stiffly stopped because of the sound, he took a deep breath, forcibly endured the wisp of uneasiness in his heart, slowly turned around and looked back at Niais respectfully, and then saluted, "My lord, I don't, I really am..." Niais didn't say anything, just frowned and shook his hand, Xia Zuo was unwilling to stop talking," You, go and replace Xia Zuo, let Xia Zuo go to the side to rest first, avoid dislike, don't be because he is here, you can't catch a big fish" Niais clicked on a guard standing by the door, under Xia Zuo's trembling body and depressed eyes, the guard took the order, walked off the stage and shrugged his shoulders helplessly to Xia Zuo, and then stretched out his thumb and told him to leave quickly, Xia Zuo was very angry, he felt that he had been insulted, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, and he couldn't even raise the slightest idea of resisting Niais, his anger could only turn into an unwilling glare, he looked at the torturer, and stomped on the ground with a low roar, and left gloomily。 In addition to Neais and the tortured in the execution room, there were a few loyal guards standing in all corners to prevent accidents, "Okay, Xia Zuo left, ask him, why do you insist that our Xia Zuo is the biggest traitor, how does he know that the order was given by Xia Zuo, and not pretended by others." Niais's indifferent voice came from above, and the guard, who had received the order, nodded and threatened lightly with the torture instrument, and asked the tortured person in a low voice. The torturer bit his lip as if recalling, and then replied softly, "Instructions. . . The oracle, we have the signature and seal of Lord Natsuzo. "Then how do you know that the information you got came from Xia Zuo?" the guard asked closely, "I know the minotaur who brought the oracle, he is a personal guard next to Lord Xia Zuo, I can be sure how many times I have seen him." The tortured man seemed to have made a great effort to say this, and after saying that, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and his spirit was even more sluggish, and his cheeks were covered with blood, and his expression was embarrassed. "And what about this minotaur who delivered the message, the man?" Niais frowned and raised his head, "what about the man?" the guard answered, "he... Leave..."The physical strength of the tortured person could no longer keep up, and it was only intermittent that he expressed it clearly. "Then go find him!" Niais, who understood what was going by, had already stood up from the high platform with a cold face, and roared angrily, "Yes, my lord, uh... What should I do with Lord Xia Zuo?" The guard agreed and then asked with a slight hesitation, "Xia Zuo, Xia Zuo has no way to prove his innocence, do you need me to tell you what to do?" Ni Esis turned his head and looked at the guard who asked him with a gloomy look, "No, no need, I know how to do it, Lord Xia Zuo will be isolated and monitored immediately until the truth is revealed" The guard who was questioned waved his hand in a panic and hurriedly explained, "Dong" The angry Niais had already slammed the door and left, except for the tortured guard, everyone else had left. Just when the guard was about to leave, the former guard who had been tortured came back to light, he didn't know where he got the strength to suddenly sit up straight, and grabbed the arm of the guard who wanted to leave, "I'm not a traitor" in a clear voice but muttered words. The guard looked at the only thing he had left and his collapsed body, nodded lightly and responded in the same faint voice, as if he was afraid that the increase in sound would wake up some beast in the darkness. "Thank you!" Although the tortured person could no longer see the expression on his cheeks, the tortured guard still felt that at this moment, the former captain of the garrison showed a childlike and innocent smile, which was the joy of being innocent and understood, and then his body tilted, lost the last of his strength, and died in his chair.

"That's why everybody is always resolute in dealing with traitors, unrelenting, betrayal—always outrageous emotions, hey. The guard stepped forward lightly and closed the captain's eyes with his hand.

The underground world has been very unrestful recently, first there was an attack on the supreme leader Niais, and then there were high-level figures of the Liberation Society who were collectively killed, and the mystery of the disappearance of two bigwigs within the alliance, I thought that the situation was no worse than that, but today two things happened, two things that are usually enough to cause shock, of course, things are not the same as things, there are always big and small, so the people of the underground clan are generally concerned about the second thing, the first thing is in the broken canyon, a slave hunting team full of military supplies and carrying a large number of war slaves was attacked, except for a few guards who escaped, all the other personnel were killedIt is reported that more than 70 slaves were rescued in this attack, and a large number of military supplies, especially long-range weapons such as arrow clusters, were looted, and the second thing is that Xia Zuo of the Restoration Society's trial team was officially relieved of his duties and imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay Prison, on the grounds that the enemy was suspected of betraying key intelligence, which led to the escape of the attacker, as well as the assassination of the Supreme Leader, everyone in the underground world was uneasy under the shock of the second news, and those who were safe from Xia Zuo's review would worry about whether the successor of the Liberation Society would liquidate and re-check themselves, and the underground clan with ghosts did not know how to deal with the successor, and the innocent ordinary people are beginning to worry about the situation of the underground clan, if even Xia Zuo, a big official who is deeply trusted by the leader of Niais, is a traitor, then who is the person who can be trusted by his side? Of course, Neais sensed the instability of the recent situation, he decisively came out to refute the rumors in person, and let the still alive Xia Zuo show up to say, but Xia Zuo's sluggish expression still made ordinary people unable to immediately remove the shadow in their hearts, and Niais could only continue to slowly spread in the shadows by this influence until he was defeated by time.

Let's go back a few days.

"Look, that's our goal. Hearing some strange noises suddenly coming from the valley below, Luo Muye got up and glanced out quickly, and then said happily to his subordinates, "I'll see" Batlet was impatient to go up a stone stream to observe the enemy's situation, but was pulled down by Luo Muye, "Come back, don't you think you're not white enough, not big enough, Fry, Hemo, you two go to reconnoitre, deploy troops, we have to make an optimal attack plan." Luo Muye said in a low voice, Frye and Hemo nodded, and left lightly to reconnoitre, while Luo Muye took Bartlet and a knight chief to quietly go out and meet the subordinates who brought over. A few minutes later, Luo Muye saw the other subordinates. "My lord!" someone stood up and luggage, "En" Luo Muye nodded and signaled that there was no need to be restrained, "Bang bang, get up, the enemy is coming, and when Fry and Hemo bring back the reconnaissance situation, it's time for us to act." Luo Muye clapped his palms and said after attracting the attention of the soldiers, "Hey, finally here, my old bones are almost rusty." Erin yawned and slowly got up and stretched, many of the warriors were in the same mind as Erin, and there was an unknown joy at the news that the war was finally going to begin. Why is there such a sentiment, it is necessary to mention the conversation two days ago.

"Why are you going to sneak attack again?" Bartlet, who was originally biting a piece of cake, suddenly couldn't control his finger when he heard the news and let out a miserable scream, "What's the call again, this is the second time" Luo Muye shook his eyebrows in displeasure and said, "One time is enough, damn, we have enough people, and you have to take risks again." Ai Lin knew that it was useless to refute Luo Muye, so he just smashed the plate in front of him in annoyance to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart. "I'm telling you that battles can't be solved by numbers, and a hundred little monsters can't kill a dragon..." Well, you guys, since we don't agree, let's use the most primitive method to decide - vote by show of hands, and those who agree to act can raise their hands. Saying that, Luo Muye raised his hand first, but unfortunately he was the only one with his lonely arm standing in the air, and they threw a boring look at Luo Muye. Luo Muye didn't seem to notice the embarrassing atmosphere at all, and he didn't say angrily as if he hadn't noticed, "Okay, you don't want to go, then I don't force it, the intelligence shows that the target we are going to attack this time carries war horses, arrow clusters, and also captured a lot of soldiers of the barrier clan and the human race who were captured in the battle, but unfortunately I am weak, but I will desperately rescue, how much can I save, how much can I save, the hearts of the people in this era are not ancient." He shook his head regretfully as he spoke, who would have thought that the words had just fallen, "Ahem, although I don't approve of a sneak attack, I can participate in the battle as a volunteer for the sake of carelessness." Sure enough, when you are older, you have the capital to be disrespectful to the old, Erin coughed dryly, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he stood up grandly. "Well, me too, it's me who is too selfish, what if I sacrifice for those captured compatriots" Saying that, Hemo also followed the trend and stood up, Ai Lin cast a hello shameless look, Hemo happily accepted, and returned to each other's eyes, Luo Muye, who was angry, trembled all over and could only sigh loudly, People's hearts are not only not ancient, but also getting worse and worse. With the two of them taking the lead, how could the rest not know what amazing dividends there were to participate in this battle, and they forcibly joined as volunteers, what could Luo Muye do? Of course, out of prudence, Luo Muye not only left wounded soldiers in Laier Village to guard those underground clansmen, but also secretly arranged three secret sentinels to monitor the entire Laier Village without anyone knowing.

In about ten minutes, Hemo and Frye rushed back sweating profusely, "How's the situation?" Luo Muye asked unceremoniously in person. "Can do it" Frye just said these two words, and then immediately snatched a water bottle from the soldier next to him and poured it in his throat. There are not many guards, and the composition is very mixed, we should be divided into three parts, there are local tribal forces, as well as mercenaries and some lightly injured underground warriors who have just retired from the front line, it should be noted that those wounded soldiers These wounded soldiers are some experienced veteran soldiers, and I have been very vigilant I and Frye were almost discovered by them just now, those mercenaries should be considered to have combat effectiveness but the will to fight is not high, the weakest is those tribal armies I just paid attention to, with their military quality I am sure to kill a squad alone。 Hemo thought for a moment and added, by this time Frye was almost recovered," Personnel don't know what their commander thinks, with a team of 120 people to guard the 90-person enemy army, even if we don't attack those captured fighters, it is estimated that we are also brewing how to escape, and this commander divided the team of 120 people into two groups, 60 people in the front, 60 people in the back, both sides are completely undefended, in terms of equipment, long-range troops account for about one-third of 40 people, except for a dozen evil eyes and four Medusa, all of the others are mercenary dwarf soldiers (dwarfs), and the composition of melee troops is more complicated, but most of them are not very strong troops, and a limited number I think our knight partners can handle it。 Frye glanced at the human knight standing proudly beside him and said with a smile, "No problem! Okay, then let's act, all the ranged troops give me priority to take care of Medusa and the Evil Eye, we don't have many arrows, I ask for three rounds of arrow rain I don't want the opponent to throw something at my head, the other melee units will do it themselves, give priority to rushing to the captives to protect them, set up an improvised defensive front, and call our knight brothers when they encounter difficult enemies. Luo Muye ordered, everyone nodded and walked back silently, and began to assemble their respective teams, Bartlet also wanted to leave but was stopped by Luo Muye, "Hey, Bartlet, wait a minute, give you a task, you take 2 people and horses to push the boulder." Luo Muye thought for a while and pointed to the boulder on the hill not far away, "Break it? Push it to the back?" Bartley looked at the boulder and gestured to his small arm, grinning with a bitter hatred on his face, "Are you a centaur? Of course, it is to break the front, if you can scare away all our enemies, abandon materials and prisoners of war, I will give you the first credit, I don't want to fight with the enemy yet, our people are precious enough, if the enemy can retreat, it will be even more wonderful." "Well, it turns out that you were worried about us, I thought you were a cold-blooded animal, ah, don't fight, don't hit me, I'll go." With a laugh, Bartlet pouted the cheerful little pony's hooves and pushed the boulder.

Lisbon is a mercenary from the Far North, so he doesn't like the smelly and heat-surging environment underground, but there is no way, the bargaining chips given by the employer on this trip are very high, at least higher than most of the hiring prices in the Far North, so for the sake of money, Lisbon still joined this escort team as a free mercenary, of course, the mercenary basically has no right to speak, so now his direct captain is a red-haired and mediocre-looking dwarf sent by the underground clan, this red-haired underground clan may be the first time to be a captain, not only does not know how to be a captain, and all day long, he blindly commanded these mercenaries assigned to him to do some messy and useless things, such as- Wash the captain's clothes, several times Lisbon heard those unruly mercenaries secretly discussing plans to create an accident for the red-haired dwarf and make him disappear completely, but think about the same unbearable underground clan captains in other squads, they just think about it and finally choose to give up, and choose to endure it in their temper, hoping that the mission will end soon, after all, your current captain is just rotten, if the next one assigns you is worse and stupider, what should you do if you miss the former captain? Today, Lisbon, as usual, was arranged by the red-haired dwarf to the end of the line to look at the captive, and called it the most difficult task of breaking off, "I'll cut off your grandmother's grandson!" Lisbon, who got the task, scolded secretly, but he was helpless, as an iron man, he walked slowly and was arranged at the end of the team, and he felt too late to catch up with the team, how could he still have time to pay attention to the surrounding situation, but today Lisbon was a bit of an exception, he was always looking around, even if the red-haired young man urged him several times, he was still vigilant in the past, because only Lisbon knew that whenever something stared at him, he felt the trembling on his body, and the iconic iron plate was particularly cold. "Damn, what's staring at me...."Lisbon muttered and silently put the fist on the fist, but there was no show on his face.
