Chapter 60: Sometimes it's not the fish that float in the waves
The entire fort was boiling, and in the middle of the night the lights were bright, and the brigade of men and horses patrolled the streets repeatedly with torches, looking for the whereabouts of a certain trio.
The two sects are not really IQ dropped, and after the gunshots came out, they quickly realized that there was a third force at work.
After the shooting, Leo actually regretted it a little, the voice would inevitably expose himself, but there was no other way, the other party was the protagonist of the Shadow Sect, and the force was extraordinary, he was not the opponent of such a person anyway, and he could only rely on the power of firearms.
The original plan given by the personnel of the merchant group could not be used, and the group could only escape into the underground waterway, the fortress is a city close to the coast, and the drainage system is intricate, but this is the home of the empire, and it is only a matter of time before it is searched here.
Several people followed the informant of the Chamber of Commerce slowly in the sewers filled with the smell of corruption, the light of the torches flickered on and off, and the footsteps of soldiers patrolling overhead from time to time, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing.
Turning a corner, the informant stopped and handed the torch to Leo.
"This road is the port in front of you, and when you go up, you hide in a box in the No. 2 stocking area, and I can only send you here."
"Thanks, take care"
The informant bowed and persistently, and quickly disappeared in the twisting waterway, and the three of them walked forward for a while, and finally reached the exit of the waterway, and the salty smell of the sea breeze wafted over.
At night, there are only a large number of piles of goods on the dock, and the sailors are bragging, but there is a lot of fireworks.
"Extinguish the torches, the pursuers don't seem to be here yet?"
"Something is wrong... It was so quiet."
Lance frowned, his long years of experience in the army told him that there must be demons when things go wrong, and the whole city was searching for them, but there were no chasing soldiers in the port, which was too abnormal.
"Zone 2 is just ahead, let's take a look first"
The three of them bent down and walked through the pile, and the next corner was the target location, but it was full of changes.
In the originally empty freight yard, cloaked cultists came out of the cargo stack one after another, blocking all entrances and exits.
"Count Leo, you made me look so hard."
When the archbishop returned to the station, the Shadow Wolf was dead and could no longer die, and the word Leo was written in blood on the floor.
Those who can climb to the archbishop are also human spirits, and they immediately understand that it is the Earl of Northland who came to rescue the king, so they must return to the border of the Iron Country.
Although I don't know how Leo came here, the border has been blocked, and if you want to go back, you must take the waterway, so you squatted here early.
"Speaking of which, I also want to thank you, it's not that you probably didn't get this so easily"
The archbishop stroked the wooden box in his hand, his face was a little obsessed, and the credit he brought back was enough to be a stepping stone for himself to enter the upper echelons.
"Tsk...."
Leo felt that the journey had been too smooth, and that his bad luck had not occurred so far, so he was waiting for him here, and whispered to Lance in an inaudible voice.
"Wait a minute, you will take Your Majesty first, I will attract their attention"
Lance was stunned for a moment, nodded, the Iron King wanted to say something, his lips moved after all, he didn't say it, for the sake of the people themselves, they must live, they can't fall into the hands of the empire, and from the moment they ascend the throne, their lives are no longer their own.
Leo took a few steps forward, his hands on his hips, and he looked like he owed him millions.
"Hey! I've helped you so much, so don't you want to thank me well, what are you doing with your sword, why don't you sit down and talk? ”
Shouting loudly to attract the attention of the other party, his hand touched a thunderbolt on his waist, and threw it to the ground, and the white mist rose instantly.
"Let's go!"
As he spoke, he communicated with the Eye of the Ancestor in the box, and the box in the High Priest's hand flew out of his hand and fell into Leo's hands.
"Come and catch me, I won't give it to you if I catch it."
As he spoke, he patted his ass and ran away.
"Chest! Catch up with him."
"Rice bucket! Leave the others alone and recover the box! ”
Catching the Iron King is the icing on the cake, and the Order's immediate need for the contents of the box is absolutely unacceptable.
Leo ran wildly, constantly moving between the stacks, and finally shrank in an inconspicuous corner to catch his breath, his strength was a little weak, and there was only one smoke bomb left.
A shouting in the distance caught his attention, and a merchant ship on the dock was about to set sail.
Seeing the time, he threw the last smoke bomb in the opposite direction, and at the moment when the pursuers were attracted, he ran wildly at the speed of a 100-meter race, and at the moment before the ship left the port, he grabbed the barrage on the hull of the ship and climbed onto the boat.
Leo, who got on the boat, lay on the deck panting like a dead fish, feeling that he was afraid that he had overdrawn the amount of exercise for the whole year in advance.
The harbor was crowded with people, and the Shadow Cult soldiers could only watch the ship Leo was sitting on, and the archbishop was so angry that he almost coughed up blood, and roared loudly in anger.
"Chase! Find the Clippers to catch up! , absolutely can't let him run"
Forced by the threat of the musket in Leo's hand, the ship's owner did not stop the ship, but this was a merchant ship, and after sailing for several miles, it was finally overtaken by the clippers of the Shadow Sect.
Leo was surrounded on the deck with the box in his arms, and the archbishop had a hideous face, eager to break Leo's body into pieces now, for which Leo could only laugh miserably.
"Otherwise..... let's talk first"
"Okay!"
The archbishop's sudden change from gloomy to sunny was just a little creepy.
"Let's talk about whether it's roasted by fire, or chopped and fed to the fish, or whether it's better to take a knife and cut it into sticks for you piece by piece."
"Ahaha... You're really kidding."
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Leo subconsciously took two steps back, but the back was already on the edge, and he was about to go to the sea in the retreat, thinking that his reputation would be planted here? Don't, what about the protagonist halo that is good!
Looking at the endless blue behind him, and looking at the hideous-looking Shadow Sect Archbishop in front of him, Leo swallowed and spit, the lesser of two powers.
After weighing it, he could only grit his teeth and plunge into the sea with the box, although there was little hope of survival, it was better than falling into the hands of the other party.
"The mountains don't turn around, let's see you in the future"
A wave came and swallowed Leo in an instant, and there was nothing else to be found except the raging waves, and the archbishop's face turned green in an instant, from green to orange, from orange to red, and finally rose to the color of pig's liver, and he almost held it in one breath.
Grabbing the collar of a disciple beside him, he shook wildly, and the spittle couldn't stop flying.
"Find! Find them all for me! Live to meet people! Death to see the corpse! ”
"If he doesn't die! I chopped him up piece by piece! ”
