Chapter 19: Nowhere to Hide
"Look there!"
Lawless grabbed Qin Ran's arm.
Qin Ran looked in the direction that Lawlessness was pointing.
Immediately, his eyes widened.
Two catapults were being dragged into the battlefield by mules and horses.
However, catapults were not the cause of the ground tremors.
What really shook the earth was the charge of an armored rhinoceros!
The heavy scale armor made of metal covered the rhinoceros's body like fish scales, making it unafraid of arrows.
Even the arrows of the 'Gift' team could only pierce the scale armor, but they could not cause the red-eyed rhinoceros to suffer the slightest damage.
Occasionally, an arrow shot by the Gift' team leader pierced through the scales, but it didn't hurt the fleshy rhinoceros.
Instead, it will charge at the Gifted team in an increasingly furious manner.
Those who stood in its way, whether it was the castle defenders or the rebels, were all knocked into the air with broken bones and tendons under such a charge.
Buzz, buzz!
The cables of the two catapults were cut.
With the huge sound of the engine spring, a boulder the size of a grinding disc tumbled into the courtyard.
The walls of the courtyard were smashed down in the first place.
The castle defenders, standing on the walls, turned into a puddle of flesh.
The round boulder rolled through the rubble and dust, and rolled into the courtyard with a trail of blood, and anyone who stood in front of it could not escape the fate of being crushed.
Boulders crushed the flower beds in the courtyard.
It also crushed the fortifications set up by the castle defenders in the courtyard.
A volley, two boulders, completely tore apart the castle defenders' defenses.
"Kill!"
The rebel gate shouted a charge.
Qin Ran was reluctant to glance at the armored rhinoceros and the 'Gift' team in the distance, then blended into the crowd with Lawlessness and rushed into the courtyard.
Although Qin Ran was sure that killing either of the armored rhinoceros and the 'Gift' team would have a good income.
But the situation in front of him did not allow him to do so.
Once the rebels discovered Hans.
The rebels are not the ones who want to interrogate the whereabouts of the 'inherited thing', and in the face of Hans, who has no backhand, they must have stabbed and fell.
As for the rebels will mercifully spare Hans?
Those castle servants who have long been ghosts under the knife have already explained everything.
"Split up!"
Qin Ran looked at the hall of the courtyard and the two corridors on the left and right, said a word to Lawlessness, and ran towards the corridor on the left.
Lawlessness ran to the corridor on the right.
There are reasons for such a choice.
An interrogation is not a trial, and this kind of thing will certainly not be in the public hall.
Especially when it comes to some 'secrets', they will choose hidden places.
Therefore, the hall that entered the courtyard would never be the place to interrogate Hans.
Apart from the hall, there are only two roads left.
One for one person, naturally, is the fastest way.
Qin Ran, who was mixed with the rebels, immediately rolled over after the rebels clashed with the castle defenders in the corridor on the left, and hid in the shadows of the corner.
The matchless level of [stealth] made Qin Ran almost merge with the shadows.
The castle defenders and rebels who shouted and clashed did not notice this scene at all, and they were all attracted by their respective opponents.
After all, it's a life-and-death struggle.
Qin Ran smoothly bypassed the castle defenders in the cloister and came to the back half of the courtyard.
His gaze swept over the back half of the courtyard.
The target was soon locked: a two-story building protected by numerous defenders.
Compared with the sporadic protection around, the layers of defense here all show that there are important people here.
Who else could be more important in this courtyard than the second son of the Grand Duke Merck?
Hans, on the other hand, was arraigned by the second son of the Grand Duke Merck.
So, there is a good chance that where the second son of the Grand Duke Merck is, Hans is!
Qin Ran looked at the large number of castle defenders.
Even though the fighting outside was shocking, the defenders here had solemn faces.
There was not the slightest hint of panic in his expression.
Obviously, it is a battle-hardened warrior and elite.
This is not good news for Qin Ran, who wants to sneak in.
The unequaled level of [stealth] can ignore the eyes of ordinary people.
However, these battlefield soldiers in front of them are not ordinary people.
may not be as strong as Qin Ran, but his sensitivity to breath perception is far beyond ordinary people.
Moreover, every part of the road in front of the building is guarded, and there is not a single one, and even the roof has people with bows and arrows.
This made Qin Ran's brows furrow.
It was really difficult for him to break through the defenses in front of him.
Although just wait a little bit, the rebels will enter here, and he will have a great opportunity.
But for Qin Ran, leaving with Hans before the rebels arrived was the best choice.
Otherwise, once you get into a scuffle.
In Hans's state, if he makes a slight mistake, he will end up in the end of all his previous efforts.
Woo! Woo!
Just as Qin Ran was thinking about what to do, two scalp-numbing whistling sounds sounded from the sky.
As soon as Qin Ran looked up, he saw two stones the size of a millstone and dense arrows falling towards the two-story building in front of him.
Rumble! Rumble!
The two-story building collapsed in half.
The dust that was splashed up obscured everyone's view.
There are countless guards who have fallen to the ground with arrows.
Hans!
Qin Ran's heart tightened.
Shielded by the dust, it rushed into the building at high speed.
As soon as he entered the building, passing through several corpses, he saw Hans, gagged and tied to the corner, and his whole body was languishing.
A flash of joy flashed on Qin Ran's face.
Hans also saw Qin Ran.
But instead of any joy on his face, he showed a touch of anxiety, and although his mouth was gagged, he made a burst of 'whine' sounds.
His eyes were even more at Qin Ran's feet.
The eyes widened.
Feet?
Corpse?
Qin Ran was stunned.
Subconsciously, he thought of a scene in the auditorium.
The whole person rolled to the side.
The dagger in his hand flew out of his hand and shot at the corpse at his feet.
Boom!
A long sword jumped up from the ground with a cold light, not only knocking away the dagger shot by Qin Ran, but also stabbing at Qin Ran's chest incessantly.
A face with a mask was clearly imprinted into Qin Ran's eyes.
He was the perpetrator of the Auditorium massacre.
Stomp, stomp!
Qin Ran retreated again and again, the other party pressed forward step by step, and the long sword in his hand was as fast as a meteor.
In the middle of breathing, Qin Ran was forced into the corner.
At this moment, the opponent's long sword was not only fast, but also ruthless.
With a flip of his wrist, he stabbed Qin Ran's throat.
Qin Ran has nowhere to hide!
Burst!
Blood spurted out.
stained the walls red.
