Chapter 19: The Art of Performing (1)

The next day, which is the agreed delivery date. Amintas www.biquge.info who had previously dispersed his movements, and due to the addition of the soldiers who transported the weapons later, Amintas had 80 men under his command, and the group came to the fortress with a few carts of weapons and wine, except for Yumenas who went to the horse farm with 10 men to pick up horses.

"Later, we will act according to the pre-plan, with the smashing of the altar as a signal, the first team led by Kretos will go to the rescue, and the second team will be led by me to attack the defenders."

"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.

The group came to the gate of the castle, this castle is about 20 feet long, the city is two feet high, compared to the general three zhang or so city wall is lower, but it looks relatively strong. Of course, compared to medieval bastions, the defense is far behind.

Since he came relatively early, it was obvious that Hermeas had not yet arrived, but he had a note written by Hermeas, so it was easy to go in after reporting his identity. Amintath greeted the warden here, and gave him a bag of silver coins, and the man was surnamed Amyntas, after all, staying here to take care of the prisoners has no oil and water, unlike other people's wars, a victory may mean that he will work for a few months. Moreover, the warden knew that the man in front of him was a brother to their Lord Hermeas, and perhaps he could be transferred to another place where he had enough oil and water. So the warden took the group to visit the dungeon.

As soon as Amintas saw the conditions, the fire in his heart could not help but rise, and there was a musty smell and stench everywhere, and everyone could not help covering their mouths, and the prisoners were all yellow and thin, and the skin on their feet and hands was not decent, and some of them had even suppurated, which showed how deep their torture was, and when they heard that there were about five hundred people, now there are more than four hundred left. Kretos wanted to chop the joking warden with an axe, but he wasn't an idiot, there weren't enough people to do it at this time, and if Hemeas happened to bring his troops over, it wouldn't be over.

"I said, don't you give them food? It's like they're all dying. How long do you think they can survive such conditions? I'm going to compete with them later, and I'm going to watch them compete, so what's the point of seeing this, you hurry up and give them dinner! When I'm fed, it's exciting to watch, and it saves me from competing with a scarecrow. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it right away." The warden was depressed for a while, who cares about this broken prison, his brothers eat simply, how much food is there for them! However, since the God of Wealth has spoken today, there is no reason for him not to follow, so he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare to provide them with food. At the same time, Amintas's men stuffed notes into each cell, and the jailers walked in front of them, and no one noticed their small movements.

In the letter, Amintas expressed the respect of the king and his brothers for General Attalus and his men, and told them of the rescue plan and asked them to cooperate. Attalus and his men were overjoyed to learn that someone had rescued them, but they didn't dare to show too much excitement for fear of arousing suspicion, so they made eye contact. One by one, they all had their fill, and then waited for their time to perform.

Soon after the sun had risen, Hermeas and several of his important generals, as well as a group of archers, had come to the castle to see the play. Amintas's mood suddenly lightened when he saw that he had only brought so many people over.

"Serve the brethren wine, this is the best wine I procured from the city yesterday, and everyone should try it." Almost all of them began to drink from the sea. However, no one noticed that Amintas had poured red paper on the lid of their wine, while the lid of the wine he drank was green paper. But this slight difference doomed the fate of Hermeas's group.

With the sound of a gong, the prisoners all came to the square, but they were all shackled on their hands and feet. Amindas knew that it would be impossible for Hermeas to open all their shackles, so he prepared to let him watch more of the show.

"First of all, select five warriors to play, and give each a sword and a shield." Amintas shouted as he stood up and had a squad of archers stand on the edge of the square in case of an unfavorable situation.

"Cretos, you're on the first game." …,

"Yes!"

Cretos came to the square with his two huge plate axes, these two are single-edged axes, double-edged axes are generally held in both hands, much heavier than ordinary single-edged axes, but these two single-edged axes are not light at all, each weighing at least thirty or forty pounds, which is not at all something that ordinary people can play. So when Cretos walked to the center of the square, everyone couldn't help but marvel, this man was nearly two meters tall, his body was as strong as an ox, and he had two axes in his hands, and the momentum was terrifying enough.

The ten people on the other side are not afraid, they have been imprisoned for so long, they have long been numb, not to mention that they know that the people on the other side are here to save them, and it is worth it even if they die for the sake of everyone's nearly four hundred people. So both sides shouted and began to fight, the fight was earth-shattering, Cretos was infinitely powerful, a plate axe smashed down, the shield must have been concave a large piece, and he also threw very far, the two plate axes made no gap, although the other party had ten people, but it was difficult to get close to him. The audience couldn't help but applaud.

Suddenly, a prisoner's arm was cut off, and the man fell to the ground screaming, blood gushing out of his remaining half of his arm, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten. Amintas's heart was even more painful, but there was no victory without sacrifice, if there was no blood on this occasion of a real knife and a real gun, I am afraid that no one would believe it, not to mention that it was difficult for Cretos to grasp the balance at this time. Hermeas turned to Amintas and said, "You are a ruthless man, you cut people like chopping vegetables. He gave his thumb as he spoke.

The ten prisoners on the other side of the tea, all fell to the ground, and they did not know whether they were dead or alive, and the soldiers dragged them all down.

"It's my turn next!" Amyntas said excitedly to Hermeas.

"Brother, you really want to go up! Look at those prisoners, they are all guys who have been rolling on the battlefield for many years, your men are fierce, but you see that they are also very energetic to kill! "The subtext of Hermeas is: None of them are afraid of death, I am more skeptical of your ability, and I am not at ease with your kid playing.

"Let's get thirty people on the field!" Amindas shouted.

When everyone heard the uproar, they looked at Amintas incredulously, but Amintas seemed full of confidence, as if he was facing not thirty people but thirty ants, and he could trample them to death with just a few strokes of his foot.

"Brother, you're not kidding, you're going to deal with thirty people by yourself?!" Hermeas asked, puzzled.

"Of course!" Amintas's answer was very crisp, still so confident.

"Give each of them a sword, and bring me my stick."
