Chapter Ninety-Four: Sneak Attack
The city of Garcy is located in the north of the city of Pomea. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info two places are not far apart, and the straight-line distance is less than 500 kilometers.
The night was dark, and the full silvery moon was slowly rising over the horizon. Perhaps because the moon had risen late in recent days, the city of Garci had fallen into silence early. In most residential areas, there are few lights, except for a few night markets that glow red and faintly laugh.
A hotel in the center of the city, the courtyard door is closed. In the courtyard, which is not very spacious, a hollow hexahedron stands. Two men in silver-gray robes stood quietly beside the metal shelves.
The moon climbed over the city walls and poured silver light into the city. The metal shelves in the courtyard of the inn shone with a striking red light.
The two men next to the shelf suddenly walked to the corner. They raised their sticks and warned the innkeeper and his men who were huddled in the corner: "Be quiet! Otherwise, we'll turn you into blood!"
I've seen the witchcraft of two silver-robed men. The stocky boss and a few buddies nodded in quick succession, shivering.
The two wizards leaned sideways, silently watching the soft white light from inside the metal shelves. The white light became more and more abundant, and there were figures coming out of the white light before and after.
The two wizards stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to bow to the last figure that appeared: "Meet your lordship." My lord, we have taken control of the innkeeper and his men. The guests in the room, I don't know if they found anything abnormal. We are not yet alarmed. ”
Du Shen nodded, put away the ghouls around him, and scanned the surrounding environment: "Wait a minute." ”
The two wizards nodded and followed Du Shen to several hostages. Du Shen smiled kindly at the hostages: "Don't worry. As long as you are obedient and cooperate with our actions. I promise that I will release you alive. ”
The boss and a few guys were naturally busy with promises and thanks.
While everyone was talking, a figure kept coming out of the white light. In the blink of an eye, the courtyard was crowded with more than a dozen figures, and it was still increasing.
Du Shen turned around and ordered the wizard in front of him: "You lead the boss and the guys to invite the guests in the room out." If you are an elderly person with limited mobility and young children, you don't have to be embarrassed. Let them stay in the room. ”
A dozen wizards commanded. Under their urging, the boss and his buddies left Du Shen step by step. Everyone entered the inn, broke down one by one, and invited the travelers out of the room.
While the wizards were busy working in the inn, people kept popping up in the courtyard at the Tide Gate.
I saw that the figure had already filled most of the courtyard. Du Shen ordered the wizard beside him. One wizard walked into the hotel, and another wizard walked to the courtyard door and opened the door.
The courtyard door was open, and Du Shen was the first to walk out of the door. Du Shen released a few ghouls and explored the way ahead. He didn't go far from the courtyard gate, but stood in the dead silence of the street and waited.
The wizards in the courtyard came out one after another and walked behind Du Shen to form a queue. After a while, no more figures appeared, and eighty figures gathered behind Du Shen. Du Shen continued to wait.
Not long after, a dozen wizards escorted thirty travelers out of the courtyard gate. The travelers were both men and women, all in the prime of life. They were nervous and mostly quiet.
Without waiting for all the passengers to walk out of the courtyard gate, Du Shen took the lead and walked towards the center of the city. A few meters in front of him, a dozen ghouls cleared the way. Behind Du Shen, eighty wizards followed quietly.
The chapel is not far away. After turning a few street corners, before encountering the city guards patrolling at night, Du Shen and the others arrived at the square in front of the chapel.
Du Shen stopped, waiting for the wizard to escort the hostages to his side. Du Shen turned around and gave an order to the eighty wizards: "Go to the living quarters and catch everyone." Try to catch them alive. ”
The wizards received the order, bypassed Du Shen, ran along the sides of the chapel, and rushed to the living quarters behind. As they ran, the figure of a ghoul appeared in front of them, thinking that they were attacking the fortification.
Du Shen and the hostages, as well as a dozen other wizards, followed slowly.
Several ghouls broke through the gates and courtyard walls of the living quarters with great force. Eighty wizards of the main attack, scattered and burrowed into the courtyard from different breaches. They continued to disperse, rushing to different houses. In front of and to the side of the wizard, more ghouls appeared.
The ghouls break down the door, and the wizard burrows into the different rooms to capture the priests or guards inside. Most of the priests were asleep. They were awakened by a loud noise and were captured by the ghouls before they could light the candles.
Some guards are more alert, grabbing weapons and trying to resist. However, due to the support of the secret realm, there are not many guards left in the chapel here. There was a single strong guard who had just rushed out of the house and was seriously injured and captured by the sudden appearance of a longing ghoul.
Fights and shouts rang out from time to time, and then quickly disappeared. The shaman, assisted by the ghouls, escorted the priests to the front yard.
It didn't take long for Du Shen to be covered with dozens of figures in front of him.
In the end, several wizards surrounded an old man and walked up to Du Shen. A wizard kicked the old man's calf and tried to force him to kneel. Du Shen raised his hand to stop it.
Du Shen approached the scarred old man: "Your Excellency High Priest, we are here not to harm people's lives. We just want to borrow some supplies. ”
"Hmph," the old man with a blue nose and swollen face struggled to hold his head high, "the warehouse is in the backyard. If you want any supplies, you can move them yourself. ”
Du Shen squinted his eyes slightly, approaching the old man: "Your Excellency, don't fool me. What I want is what's in the vault. ”
The old man's face changed. He shook his head resolutely: "Even if you kill all of us, I won't give you the contents of the vault." ”
"Really," Du Shen raised his hand, his left hand slashing behind him and grabbing it, "What if I kill half of the city's people?"
"You ......" the old man stared, shocked and incredulous. He looked at Du Shen seriously: "You are wizards. I will not give in to you, and the temple will destroy you. Soon!"
Du Shen shook his head and sighed, revealing disdain: "Sure enough, he is a sanctimonious person." For the sake of a small amount of money, he actually sat back and watched the death of believers in half the city. ”
"You," the old man said with a thump in his chest, "blood spews people! ”
"So," Du Shen reached out to take the old man's arm and dragged him to the thirty hostages, "I now propose that you hand over the contents of the secret vault to us." We leave immediately, without harming a single person. Otherwise, I will let half the city bleed. And the thirty people in front of him will become witnesses. They will tell the others that it is because you are reluctant to give up a few things that you have killed half of the people in the city. ”
"You," the old man was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "despicable. Have the ability, don't implicate the weak ordinary people......"
"Hehehe," Du Shen suddenly chuckled, "because we are evil and cruel wizards!"
The old man was speechless.
"I don't embarrass you," Du Shen glanced at the thirty hostages who were worried, "I'm here just for the glow sap." I don't want anything else. Just give me the glow sap from the vault, and I'll turn and go. ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha......"
Du Shen was neither annoyed nor anxious. He let the old man laugh at him and waited calmly. After a long time, the old man finally quieted down. Du Shen asked curiously: "Your Excellency, what is so ridiculous?"
"Hmph," the old man snorted sarcastically, condescendingly, "I'm laughing at you for being stupid! But you tried your best to force me to hand it over. How can you let me hand over something that I don't have in the first place?"
"Oh," Du Shen smiled faintly, "then, please tell me." Where can I find the glow sap?"
The old man snorted coldly and became tough again: "I won't tell you." Even if it's death!"
"I can't help it. Du sighed in annoyance. He waved. More than a dozen wizards who had been monitoring the hostages stepped forward and drove the hostages away: "Don't be afraid. To the square in front of the chapel. Just let you witness something. I won't kill you. ”
Du Shen pulled the old man and walked towards the door. The old man changed color and struggled slightly: "Where are you taking me? What do you want to do?"
Du Shen explained as he walked: "Of course, I will take you to see the dead." Until you're willing to tell me the location of the Glow Realm. ”
The old man's pupils shrank, and he was extremely shocked: "You actually know the Glowing Secret Realm!"
"Of course," Du Shen said with a slight smugness, "the glow tree sap is produced from the glow secret realm. If I didn't know the exact location of the secret realm, how could I come here to trouble Your Excellency?"
The old man seemed to lose his mind in shock. He was taken to the square by Du Shen in despair. The square is slightly higher enough to overlook a small part of the city.
Du Shen led the old man to the edge of the square and looked down at the houses below. Du Shen pointed to the street below the gentle slope: "Your Excellency, please look." Those are my subordinates too. They will follow one direction, bulldozing all the houses. Soon, everyone in the city will know that the temple is no longer enough to keep them safe. ”
The old man looked at it as instructed. I saw that on the street below, there were at least 300 monsters standing neatly. The old man had fought monsters before. He knew how powerful monsters were. The old man couldn't help but be worried.
Seeing the monster move, it rushed to the nearest house. The old man thought he had to maintain the prestige of the Temple, and he hurriedly shouted, "Stop! I'll tell you where the secret realm is." As long as you leave the city quietly. ”
"Of course," Du Shen chuckled and nodded, "Your Excellency also knows the value of the Glow Sap. If I know the location of the secret realm, how can I do anything wrong here and waste my time? Aren't I afraid of leaking the news and letting the secret realm take precautions?"
The old man must be in his heart: "The location of the secret realm is remote, and I am afraid that it is not clear by my mouth alone." Let's go back first. I'll draw you a map. ”
Du Shen nodded and led everyone back to the living area. Soon, Du Shen got the map to the secret realm from the old man. Du Shen didn't embarrass everyone. He asked the sorcerer to tie up the priest and the traveler and throw them into the storehouse. Du Shen easily put the materials in the warehouse into the pendant.
After that, Du Shen and the others quietly returned to the hotel and tied up everyone in the hotel.
Du Shen put away the tidal gate in the courtyard of the inn. He led the wizards and swaggered to the nearest gate. There were still no city guards along the way. Du Shen and the others attacked and stunned the guards guarding the gate, opened the city gate, and hurried north according to the map drawn by the old man.
