Chapter 577: Follow-up Troops
Before Renault stepped out, Ngawang followed and said, "Hey, Renault, isn't this a place to find orcs to hide treasures, why are you thinking about going to see the prison now, didn't I say, what's so beautiful about that place." ”
Renaud glanced at Ngawang and said: "You should use your brain more, think about it, what kind of people are being held by the orcs, most of them are captives, human soldiers and the like, how many of us are now?" A thousand people, if the orc army turns its sword and points at us, can we defend it? We urgently need to replenish manpower now, otherwise this Sydney Burt will be defeated in vain. ”
Ngawang understood a little, but he still said, "But how many people can there be in such a prison?" ”
Barbary said this time: "Deputy Captain, this Sydney Burt is also a relatively large city, and the scale of the prison in the city must be small, maybe there are many people in it who can be used by us." ”
Renault gave Barbary a strange look and said, "So you don't know what's going on inside." ”
Barbary scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't found the key for a while, and I'm priing the door, oh, captain, look at this half-orc, we caught it and said it was guarding the cell." ”
As he spoke, several people had already walked out, and when they walked outside the door, they saw a human warrior looking at a half-orc, and Barbary pointed to this half-orc. Orcs are not all tall and mighty, even if most of this orc race are tall and mighty, such as the one in front of him, this half-orc is short, about one meter five, thin and thin, the green skin on his face is cracked and tight, and it looks more like there are thick wrinkles, although he doesn't look very old on the surface.
This half-orc is shivering in the cold wind at the moment, seeing that he still has some scars on his body, and a bag on his head, Barbary saw that Renault noticed the injury of the half-orc and said: "This guy wants to run and beat him, if I don't see that this half-orc is different from other half-orcs, not so brainless, can tell us something, I will kill him." ”
Renault nodded, walked over, and before he could get closer, the orc knelt down with a "poof", crying and shouting: "My lord, don't kill me, my lord, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do, don't kill me......"
Renault was also taken aback, and Barbary immediately shouted: "Don't be so ugly! What to do, our captain will naturally know, and you don't have room for bargaining! ”
After Barbary finished speaking, the standing human warrior wanted to pull the half-orc up, but he didn't expect the half-orc to be stunned, and looked at Renault with blank eyes, but the person's small eyes were not small, but it was really like some small animals, Renault looked at it and said with a smile: "Whether you kill or not depends on your own performance, and I am not a person who likes to kill people if you behave well." ”
As soon as the orc heard that there was a joke, he quickly expressed his willingness to do anything, and Renault said impatiently: "Okay, okay, come with me, let's go to the prison first, and you can follow the introduction to introduce the situation." ”
The half-orc answered, and followed behind resignedly, Ngawang was a little puzzled what Renault was doing with this guy, but since Renault opened his mouth, he would follow him, a small half-orc, it didn't matter. When I walked up, I realized that this half-orc not only looked weak, but also walked with a limp.
Renault glanced at the half-orcs with some surprise, this situation is really rare, it's not that the orcs don't have all kinds of diseases, it's just that the orcs want to eat the weak, except for some congenitally weak races, many congenitally sick or weak orcs are likely to be abandoned, otherwise even if they stay and grow up, they will be bullied and ridiculed, and it is not impossible to be killed, these defective orcs may even be regarded as a racial shame. I didn't expect that there was such a half-orc in this place, and it was not easy to hear that it would be so big.
The orc didn't speak, he followed honestly, with his head down, and he stopped following behind, Renault ignored him, and followed Barbary straight in the direction of the prison.
After walking for ten minutes, I came to a place similar to an arena, round and open, like an open bird's nest, and there were still a lot of seats in it, Barbary said that after walking through this arena, he would go to the prison, and Renault noticed that there were many dark marks on the surface of the arena, large and large, almost the ground and the surrounding fence were stained.
At this time, the half-orcs who followed behind suddenly whispered: "This arena is connected to the prison, orcs like to watch fights, fights, many prisoners of war are not directly executed, and are regarded as gladiators in the arena, or fight with people, or fight with beasts, every time they will die, and that's it for a long time." ”
Renault looked at the half-orc again, but he didn't expect that the short half-orc was quite smart, and he still knew what he was thinking, but Renault didn't pay much attention to him, and continued to walk ahead.
After walking through the arena, there is a small square, an ordinary bluestone square, which is littered with some garbage and the like, it looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time, and it is estimated that the orcs don't care. There is a small low building at the end of the square, it is really low enough, looking at the height of the frame is no more than four meters, and the length is only about ten meters, Renault couldn't help muttering, this is the prison? Too small, right? How many people can fit.
Seeing Renault's suspicious face, Barbary hurriedly said: "I have already asked clearly just now, this prison is built below, it is a dungeon, and it should be very spacious underneath. ”
Renaud nodded in relief, and walked over, only to see several human warriors fiddling with a large iron door that was firmly fastened to the door with various tools.
Barbary walked over quickly and said, "You guys, you can't open it for a long time?" ”
The soldiers smiled awkwardly, but they were very helpless, they really couldn't open it, this big iron door was very heavy, and it was very tightly closed, and there was an extended iron sheet on the edge of the door to buckle on the door frame, and even a shovel could not find a place to insert it and pry, and the lock was quite high-end, and they had no way to open it.
Renault walked in and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning, this lock is obviously not an ordinary lock, it was made together with the door, most of it was hidden in the iron door, only some surfaces and a small key opening were exposed, it looked really hard to fiddle with, Renault said: "What's the matter?" Don't have a key? ”
Barbary shook his head and said, "I looked for it, but I didn't find it, this little man said that he was taken away by the orcs who were fighting." ”
Unexpectedly, at this time, the half-orc said, "I haven't been taken away, it's right here for me." ”
When these words were spoken, Renault and the others were stunned, and after Barbary reacted, he was about to draw his sword and cut the half-orc, but Renault reached out to stop him. The orc hurriedly said: "I didn't mean to, I'm afraid that if I don't see you adults, you will cut me down when you get the key, I ......"
Renault looked at the orc with some curiosity and said, "When you see me, do you know that I won't cut you?" ”
The orc said, "I've seen you, you should be a smart man......"
Renault narrowed his eyes and stared at the orc: "Smart man? Won't a wise man kill you? ”
Ngawang was a little impatient and said, "How dare you, a little orc, fool people?" What about the keys? Take it out! What do you think you are now? It's a captive! Captives are not qualified to negotiate conditions! ”
The half-orc honestly took out a small key from the sole of his shoe, Barbary looked at the corner of his mouth twitched, no wonder he didn't receive anything from the search, the half-orc handed the key to Barbary and continued to answer Renault's question: "I said that other people may not believe it, but you should believe it, most orcs are not afraid of death, and it is difficult for others to ask something, but I am different, I can tell you something..... I think you're smart and you'll understand that you're not going to kill me. ”
Renault now found the orc quite interesting, and said, "Then you better pray that you can tell valuable information." ”
After speaking, he no longer cared about the orc, but motioned to Barbary to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, he saw Anlolo trotting all the way and said, "Hey! Nuotuan, I heard from others that you found something? Have you found a place to hide your money? Yes? Is this it? Why does it look so shabby? ”
Ngawang looked at An Luoluo with a smile and said, "Luoluo, you rushed over when you mentioned money, right?" Unfortunately, this is not a place to hide money, this is a prison. ”
An Luoluo sighed in disappointment, but then said: "It's okay, sooner or later, the place where the money is hidden will be found, and the prison can also be seen, I want to see what the prisoners under the orcs are like." ”
Renault didn't stop her, no matter what scene in the prison, it couldn't be cruel than the darkness, An Luoluo was interested, then let her go, it is estimated that she couldn't bear to keep doing research, and wanted to come out for a walk.
The short half-orc looked at An Luoluo with a little surprise, he didn't know that there were actually a lot of orcs fighting for Simobeth in the Empire, but there were fewer regular troops, not to mention that it was still such a beautiful cat-man girl, which was rare.
Of course, he hurriedly lowered his head after a glance, and did not dare to speak, and Anloro also noticed the orc, but he was not interested in him at all. As Barbary opened the door, a stench mixed with various stenches such as fishy and sour smells wafted out, and several human warriors and Barbary frowned, but it was Renault and a few of them who looked as usual, pediatrics.
Renault waved his hand and said to a few human warriors, "You guys stay guarded outside, and the others go in together." ”
After saying that, Renault walked in first, and as Barbary said, the door opened to a staircase downward, and the light below was dim, and there was a black hole. Most of the ground floor is just a guard duty room, not the point.
There are forty or fifty steps of stairs, and at the end of the staircase there is some light, some torches hanging on the wall, the torch light is very small, and there are only a few, and the light is very dim.
The orc spoke, "The torch can be brightened, and there is control on the side of the torch. ”
This half-orc is really very conscious in order to be able to live, Renault also said something. Walked over and brightened the torch, this time it was barely possible to see the surrounding situation, this is a small clearing, there are a lot of tools neatly placed on the edge of the small clearing, to be precise, torture tools, wooden shelves, iron chains, brazier burning iron sheets, knives and steel needles, etc., the variety is quite complete, but most of these tools have been dyed with a layer of black, even the ground is heavy black, almost this small clearing is dyed through, the smell of blood is mostly from here.
In addition to these dried bloodstains, because underground, there was a wet feeling all around, and the top was also low, a standard damp, dark, oppressive cell.
Renault glanced at it, felt it, didn't notice any danger, took a step and walked forward, through the clearing, it was the cell, and walked to the first cell with the clearing, Renault didn't get closer, a figure suddenly jumped out from the depths of the cell, accompanied by a roar: "Damn orcs!" You damn brutes! Let Grandpa out! I'm going to fight you to the death......"
As he spoke, the figure slammed into the iron railing, but when he grabbed the iron rail and saw the person coming, he couldn't help but be stunned there. Renaud was also a little stunned, and saw a stout figure pounce out, and a big man with a big beard, his hair was scattered and half naked, appeared in front of him, shouting.
Renault looked at the big man and smiled, and it took a long time for the big man to react, and asked tentatively, "You... New to the new arrival? The big man thought that these people might be newly detained prisoners, but why didn't they look like each other?
Seeing that the prisoner was in good spirits, Renault nodded, didn't speak, and continued to walk forward, ignoring the big man's surprised and puzzled eyes, Renault didn't care, but Awang behind Renault said, "Brother, stop it." ”
After saying that, he continued to move on, and the yeller chased after him through the fence, realizing that something didn't seem quite right, and asked Reynolds what was going on, but Renault ignored him.
This big man had a loud voice, it was a matter of fact, everyone else in the cell was alarmed, and one after another came out of the dark place of the cell, most of them were half naked, or simply naked, they looked at Renault and a few people, but few of them were as energetic as the big man before, and more people were numb and sluggish looking at the visitors.
