"Chapter 424: Gone Wrong"
I had been in the fortress prison for several days, and as soon as I came out of the cave-like place, I rode my fast horse for a long time, and I was still in the sun, and even if I was strong, I felt dizzy.
We got rid of those pursuers, the kingdom really valued me, sent so many people to chase me, chased me so far, if it weren't for the strength of the digging miners, a ten-meter-high stone wall was raised, I'm afraid we would have fought this time. I have reinforcements for the fight, but it's better to be safe.
Trouble is still coming, though, and the earth-and-stone walls, watchtowers, and the large number of troops in front of us are causing us new problems. I don't have any impression of these troops, but judging from the equipment, they should belong to the more elite forces of the kingdom, and it is better to bypass them from the ground just in case.
The miner motioned for us to stop, he couldn't feel the power anymore, we could take a break, and the miner could pick a good place to work.
Five minutes later, the miners dug the tunnels through the camp, and we really praised them for their efficiency.
The inside of the tunnels dug by the miners was very stable, and in many places it was even supported by excavated stones, and I think even a thousand troops could pass through it. By digging a tunnel long enough, our troops will be able to launch a deadly assault directly from our controlled area through the underground to the rear of the rest of the kingdom.
It's a pity that the miners only have 24 hours to use it, otherwise I would have planned to build an underground transportation network.
I also took advantage of this time to send out world and private newsletters to tell my friends about me, although they really didn't help much at this critical time.
[Host Fang Zi No. 6: Xiao Pan, it's great that you can come out of there, it's been almost a week, Zeng Qiang's army and I have hit Cilix, and the kingdom is negotiating with us on the conditions for your release. 】
Fang Zi's words jumped me, I know the place she said, it is just a small city, but it is indeed the habitual northern regional boundary line of the Subic Kingdom, it seems that when I am not there, Fang Zi They did put a lot of pressure on the kingdom, and the central part of the kingdom can no longer be held.
[Host No. 8 Li Xiaopan: Then what conditions are you talking about?] 】
[Host Fang Zi No. 6: They opened their mouths widely, using the secret of your and our identities as bargaining chips, demanding that we withdraw from Mantas, give up the middle of the kingdom, and threaten us with your safety, which really me off!] 】
I understand Fang Zi's feelings, if it were me, I would definitely not return the territory I had captured at such a great price, and I would still be controlled by others. And what's even more infuriating is that the lives of friends are in the hands of others, and there is no good way to solve them. So I'm still very grateful for Fang Zi's help, at least because of their offensive, Salondron didn't dare to do anything to me.
[Host No. 6 Fang Zi: Pan Pan, where are you now? How long will it take to come back, we will pick you up. 】
After Fang Zi asked, I thought about it for a while, we have also rushed so much, and we are now making great progress all the way, so it should not be far from going back.
[Host No. 8 Li Xiaopan: We have walked a lot, and with the help of the miners, we will be able to find your troops in two days if it goes well. By the way, Tibetan Soldier City, Louis Meilong and them, and my sister, how are they now? 】
[Host Fang Zi No. 6: They are all very good, we don't have to worry about the east, the mainland is not a big threat, Mei Long and Edward stay in the Tibetan Soldier City, Isabella and Averia are in the White Oak, she insists on staying there and waiting for your news, and she wants to continue to go north, but she can't stop her. Louie, they and your main force are with us now, just outside the city of Cirichs, and if you return, we will be able to eat the city in half an hour. 】
[Host No. 8 Li Xiaopan: That... Help me tell my sister that I'm safe, and help me say hello to my generals and tell them I'll be back soon. 】
[Host Fang Zi No. 6: Understand, leave it to me, you can rest assured, come back early, there is trouble and squeak.] 】
After chatting, it was much easier to even hurry, and after a while, I walked out of the tunnel and came to the ground again. But I just let go of the horse, and it looks like I'm going to have to walk a little bit first.
"Okay, let's keep walking, hurry up, if we meet the village, we will occupy it directly, if there is a patrol, we will do it directly, push all the way over, and meet our large army as soon as possible."
After summoning five more groups of two-person pumpkin barbarians, I gave the order to lead this already small force forward as quickly as possible.
I'm a little short of supplies right now, and I don't have any equipment on me in a hurry, so I have to find a place to replenish it, and I'm not short of gold coins, if they don't cooperate, I'll just kill them.
"What people!"
I went, patronized and hurried, but I didn't see anyone in front of me. The digging miners didn't notice a word, and it seems that there is a little problem with being too focused.
"Listen to the people in front, you have crossed the line, go back immediately!"
Several groups of horsemen suddenly rushed out of the nearby hideouts, brandishing steel swords and spears, and the bowstrings of the archers were all drawn and circled around us.
"Kill them!"
Maybe they didn't recognize us, but I won't give them a chance to recognize us, no matter what, let's kill them first!
"Charge! For victory! ”
Although they couldn't see their faces because of the pumpkin's obscuration, the pumpkin barbarian's momentum was still strong, and even the opponent's war horse was frightened. They ran fast, threw their javelins in their hands, knocked the archers off their horses before they could let go, and then drew their steel swords and leaped to their feet, knocking the horsemen off their horses. The illusionist's illusion unleashed, and many cavalrymen fell into a state of dementia, even ignoring the calls of their teammates.
The digger didn't use any skills, he just waved his hand casually, and the ground sank down, or protruded to form a ground thorn, and those cavalry who didn't fall into the pit didn't fall into the pit, and in less than two minutes, the light and heavy cavalry of twenty or thirty people were all killed by us.
But I was a little surprised, they were very well equipped, and several of their horses were well equipped with horse armor, as well as beautiful patterns and decorations, which were obviously not the equipment of regular Subic cavalry, and there was a familiar feeling, and I suddenly had a bad premonition.
I picked up a battle flag on the ground that they hadn't had time to raise, with a mighty griffin on it, and the corresponding insignia of the Legion on one side of the griffon.
I asked the barbarian to bring up a guy who fell off his horse but didn't die, and I had to get things straight.
"Where is this?"
I felt a sense of unease in my heart when I asked him.
"My lord, I surrender."
The young man, dressed in full armor and looking like a noble officer, looked terrified and trembled a little.
"This, this is Lamardu (the border city of the Griffon Empire adjacent to Subic)."
Lamardu? The southern frontier of the Griffon Empire? I'm C! I'm on the wrong track!
