The carriage came to a stop behind a dirt slope. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Qin Ran jumped out of the carriage with his belongings, it was already the last moment when dawn was about to pass, and the sky was about to brighten.

With the height of the Thunder Fortress, even if you are not a marksman, you only need to have a sharper gaze to be able to see far away.

What's more, most of the steppe invaders are marksmen.

And the generals who lead the army know how to use their advantages as long as they are not stupid.

Therefore, Qin Ran and Bosco are cautious.

"I can only get you here!"

"I wish you a safe return!"

Bosco said in a rare and serious tone.

"Hmm!"

"Say goodbye to Mary - I'd love to say it in person, but ......"

Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders and did not continue.

Before, Qin Ran wanted to say goodbye to Mary in person, but the girl's expression made Qin Ran at a loss, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in the carriage.

It is naturally a pity that I did not say it in person.

But if someone tells me, it's the same.

That's what Qin Ran thought.

But he didn't expect Bosco's reaction.

"Your Highness, please go and say it yourself......

"Such a farewell is too heavy, please forgive me for not being able to convey it!"

With that, Bosco boarded the carriage and left.

Looking at the carriage that melted into the darkness, Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.

He knew that Bosco had misunderstood, but he didn't have a chance to explain.

He couldn't shout out to the departing Bosco.

Because, that would also expose him.

Shaking his head, Qin Ran put these trivial matters out of his mind and began to look at the Thunder Fortress in the distance with full attention.

The passage is located between the mountain walls on the left side of the Thunder Fortress.

It's not high, but it's a bit of a climb.

What's more, you need to stay out of sight from the Thunder Fortress at all times.

At night, it is better to say that there is a cover of night, but once it is dawn, even Qin Ran is not sure enough.

Therefore, Qin Ran was ready to act immediately.

It's just that when he looked at the Thunder Fortress, his body couldn't help but shake.

He saw two Jingguan located on both sides of the avenue!

It was made of the corpses of the defenders of the Thunder Fortress, and although it was not yet compacted, it made people shudder to see it.

Qin Ran came into contact with an unknown number of corpses.

But this is the first time I have seen a corpse arranged in the form of a Kyoto view.

It took two or three seconds for him to come back to his senses.

"Show off your exploits and deter your enemies?"

Qin Ran muttered to himself in a low voice.

Undoubtedly, the steppe invaders did it very successfully.

Qin Ran was sure that with the morale of the remnants of the Volyn King Dulerdri, if it was possible to come here, it would really become a state of complete morale and discouragement.

Of course, this is only an almost impossible hypothesis.

But one of Qin Ran's original plans had to be changed.

"Murderous? Wrong! ”

"It's not just a thirst for killing, it's a ......"

Qin Ran roughly swept through the Jingguan, and the number of corpses far exceeded the number he had broken through before.

Where did the rest of the corpses come from?

Part of it comes from the battle when the steppe invaders entered the Thunder Fortress.

Another part......

POW!

Although the path he chose when he came was a hidden path, Qin Ran could still see the rout troops returning from the Thunder Fortress from time to time from the car window.

The number reached hundreds.

Compared to the number of people stationed at Thunder Fortress, this number is not too much.

Qin Ran guessed at that time that these soldiers should have been captured.

So, he instinctively thought of creating chaos, freeing all the captives and causing trouble for the steppe invaders.

Still, it seems that he underestimated the determination of the steppe invaders.

Or rather......

He overestimated the number of steppe invaders.

Although there was not enough time, James VIII gave a detailed account of the situation of the steppe people.

With tribes as a collective, slavery prevailed, slaves were used as currency, and in some remote tribes, slaves were more valuable than gold.

And the biggest source of slaves is war.

To put it simply, prisoners of war generally serve as slaves, and to kill slaves who can represent currency is to destroy their own property.

When will you destroy your own property?

When you can't really own these properties, you have to do it as a last resort.

There are not many situations that can make the steppe invaders who have captured the Thunder Fortress a last resort.

The number of people is the greatest possibility.

"There aren't enough people to take care of the prisoners of war, so kill them all?"

Qin Ran took quick action with the guess in his heart.

As for the behavior towards the steppe people?

He didn't have any more to say.

After all, the steppe and Warren are hostile sides, and it is not an exaggeration to use any method to start a war between the two countries.

The steppe slaughtered the prisoners of war at this moment, and made the Jingguan deterrent Warren.

When Warren was once strong, he did not drive back tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

This in itself is an antagonistic, ever-shifting relationship that will only cease when one of the two sides is completely destroyed.

Qin Ran didn't know when one of the two sides would be completely destroyed.

But he knew that his current position could not allow Warren to perish.

At least, not right now.

Sou!

Carrying a brand-new, Warren-style backpack on his back, Qin Ran jumped onto the left side of the mountain wall of the Thunder Fortress with a slight sound of breaking through the air.

According to what was marked on the drawing, Qin Ran didn't take too much time to find the entrance.

Under a large dead tree.

Pushing aside the dirt that covered it, a secret passage made of rock appeared in front of me.

Qin Ran stood quietly on the side, waiting until the filthy qi in the secret passage dissipated before slowly entering it.

Darkness couldn't stop Qin Ran's vision.

He could clearly see that the entire passage was moving straight forward, and when it came to the end, there were steps upward.

These steps are not the usual steps.

It is more like a ladder carved from stone, which requires a person to climb it with both hands and feet.

The height is about twenty meters.

Qin Ran carried his backpack on his back, climbed over with both hands, and quickly came to the top as nimble as an ape.

However, Qin Ran did not immediately push open the secret door above his head and go out, but listened attentively.

Although, according to James VIII, at the end of the secret passage was supposed to be a storehouse where some military supplies were stored.

But that was many years ago.

Time has passed, and it is difficult to guarantee that the layout inside has not changed.

What's more, after the steppe people occupy it, who knows what the other party will do here.

Listen for a few seconds.

No sound came to my ears.

Qin Ran took a deep breath, and put one palm on the secret door, and was about to push it open.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Stomp, stomp!

Calm and powerful, they all appeared on top of Qin Ran's head.

This chapter is timed, because I really couldn't sleep last night, and Decadence simply got up and coded words......

Although I tried hard to adjust my biological clock, after being disrupted again, I found that I really wanted to reverse black and white!
