"Perhaps, or rather, Marshal Aetius has forgotten His Excellency." I didn't change my face, I tried to keep my composure, since it was wrong, then it was wrong completely, anyway, the outside Ba Gundam would be impassable from the water around here, if he had second-hand preparations, then I would definitely be put on by them. They have a stomach full of questions to ask me, and I, after making sure it's safe, do my best to deceive them.

Maybe it's so despicable, this used to be what I despised to do, but I think decency, decency is the result of being abandoned, being left behind, rather than this, it is better to let him, let Arecio live in my lies.

"He may have really forgotten, or really intended to abandon it." There was a hint of loss in Arecio's eyes, but he quickly raised his head and said in a self-deprecating tone, "It was supposed to be like that, I should have expected him to be who he is." As he spoke, he straightened out his loose white robe, stood up a little distractedly, and muttered, "It's time to go!" ”

"Let's go?"

Listening to what was coming out of Arecio's mouth, I suddenly felt that if he was leaving, then the problem was a bit serious. I saw him slowly get up and nod to the soldiers on either side of the wooden table.

"Governor! Governor! ”

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded behind Arecio, and a soldier ran out of the shadows, he must have run out of the staircase in the darkness.

All of us turned our gaze to the panicked soldier, only to see the soldier gasping for breath and breathlessly saying, "Bagouda, Bagouda slaves are here!" They broke through the ramparts! ”

"What about Fred and the guards guarding the perimeter?" Arecio asked, he naturally looked so unhurried, for me, it was a real burning eyebrow!

"The rest of the guards retreated outside the door, they are now in disarray, and the Bagorda slaves are pouring in like a flood!" The soldiers were clearly overwhelmed by the enemy, and so waited for their governor, Arecio, to show them the way.

The enemy had really reached the door, and I left my seat, went to the closed door of the Doge's Palace, and tilted my ears to the door, listening carefully. That's right, the killing cry was close at hand, and it was getting more and more intense, and I am afraid that no one except the soldiers who gave the order at any time did not know what kind of fighting was going on outside.

"The guards outside should be able to hold out for a while, even if they are defeated, and with this strong gate, I think we have enough time!" Arecio said, instructing one of the soldiers beside him, "Call the scouts who are still upstairs, and we're leaving." ”

Sure enough, there is a secret way! No wonder Arecio was so unhurried, he turned to his richly decorated bed, beckoning two guards to push it back with him. I swarmed up with the other soldiers, all curious to see what was mysterious under Arecio's bed.

Sure enough, there was a moving plank under Arecio's ornate bed, and Arecio beckoned a soldier to bring a torch to light it. Reaching out and grabbing the dusty leather handle, he said thoughtfully: "I have been preparing for a long, long time, and today it finally came in handy." ”

"Squeak!"

With a slam of force, the moving plank was pulled apart, and in an instant a very damp smell that seemed to have been hidden for a long time rushed to his face with a wave of air.

It was a dark cavern, with no light at all, and through the already dimly lit hall, there was basically nothing to be seen inside.

The tool for going down is a long wooden ladder, probably a long, long time later, and no one knows if this ladder will be as strong as it was back then.

"Let's go down a few first, and everyone has to bring torches."

Arecio commanded, and soon several volunteers climbed down the ladder with torches. They are the ones who open the way, and they are used to test whether the ladder is strong or not, and no one knows what will happen to them.

The first one held a torch in one hand, and he stepped on the ladder little by little with the support of the crowd, and the first foot made the ladder "creak" and rattle, and his whole body tensed up, followed by the second foot, and slowly climbed down. He creaked and wailed down the ladder until he reached the bottom, which was nearly ten meters from where we were.

"How's it going, can you walk inside?"

Seeing him go down and add a ray of light to the dark cavern, Arecio immediately shouted to the inside of the cave that he wanted to make sure it was safe.

"Yes, my lord."

The echo from inside the cave gave everyone present a sigh of relief, and through the light of the fire, I could see a smile on everyone's face. It's finally time to leave this killing place, and no one isn't excited to save their lives.

Then came the second, a scout, with a cloak on his shoulders, a wooden torch in his mouth, and a shield and sword on his back, and slowly descended the ladder.

It wasn't until the scout had gone down that Arecio slowly stepped on the seemingly crumbling ladder with the support of the soldiers.

Before leaving, he stared at me and said to Andrew: "Two gentlemen, I hope you can follow after I go down, of course, the premise is that you throw away your leather armor and clothes, I really can't accept this smell!" ”

With that, Arecio went down, and all the soldiers turned their eyes on the two of us, as if urging us to hurry!

How can I hesitate to do so for such a trivial matter? I pulled off my leather armor, and that's when I was.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The heavy slamming of the door sounded behind all of us, which was a sign that the guards on the perimeter of the Doge's Palace had been utterly defeated!

"Quick! Hurry up! ”

At this time, there was already a commotion among the soldiers behind them, they were urging both of us, and they were all holding back, and no one knew if they would suddenly run away, so that we would not have a chance to get close to the ladder. I didn't dare to hold back, and took the iron sword back from the soldier who had just disarmed, and Andrew and I hurried down the ladder.

In the groan of "squeak and quack", I was careful every step of the way, for fear that something should not go wrong.

"Boom! Boom! ”

The sound of slamming the door was getting louder and louder overhead, and the soldiers who had been waiting finally couldn't bear it anymore! They jerked away the soldiers who were maintaining order, and you pushed me and squeezed me above my head, and they all wanted to climb up the ladder and go down as soon as possible.

"Andrew, quick!"

I beckoned to Andrew below, and my limbs couldn't help but speed up.
