Chapter 365: Kidnapping the Lord
If Wei Xu came here, he would definitely have to complain about the cutting corners of a certain company. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is more than twice as big as the fog veil fortress in the game. This is also common sense, after all, the word "fortress" is used here to doom this place to be different.
The Fog Veil Fortress is more like an inner city in the Rift, or a fortress built inside the Rift City. The kitchen utility room on the first floor also has a place for the servants to live, while the second floor is the main structure from the beginning. The fortress-like structure rises like a pyramid in the middle of the rift. From the bottom to the top, there are some nobles who are related to the lord by blood. And our Lady Lord of the Rift is living on the top floor with peace of mind, no wonder the Rift is already rampant with thieves, but this lord doesn't mind in the slightest.
The guards of the Fog Fortress are only the first line of defense, but this is also a more troublesome line of defense. After entering the fortress, Laikas led a group of patrolling soldiers down, secretly stuffed them into the utility room, and then led the people to the upper level with such a big grin.
This was originally a resting place for the nobles, and naturally no one would stop this group of patrol soldiers to ask for the code, and in their memory, no one seemed to have infiltrated the fortress with this method of stealing beams and changing pillars.
Another group of patrol soldiers walked by, and Laikas and the four people behind him passed them very calmly, except for the eyes of the people on the opposite side could be faintly seen through the holes in the eyes on the helmet, there were basically no flaws.
"I guess it's up here......" At the staircase on the fourth and fifth floors, Laikas thought to himself as he looked at the two soldiers guarding the stairs above. The internal structure of the Fog Veil Fortress has not been circulated at all, so Laikas can only guess at this time. However, since there are no guards at the other staircases, there is a great possibility that it will be the lord's residence after going up here.
"Stop! This is the Lord's Abode! Don't you know that the patrols are not allowed to come up? As soon as Laikas stepped up the stairs, the two warriors above drew their long swords at their waists at the same time, and their vigilance made Laikas a little stunned.
"The fire outside has spread, let's report to the lord!" In the face of the two people's questions, Laikas also replied without the slightest timidity, and as he spoke, he walked up the stairs.
"What? The fire has spread? The two guards glanced at each other, and one of them walked briskly to the wall, whispering something to the respectful maid there.
Opportunity! Taking advantage of this, Laikas took two steps forward, and this distance was already enough to touch the guard's long sword. Under the guard's wary gaze, Laikas grinned softly at him. Although he couldn't have seen the smile.
"Whoosh!" An arrow burst through the air and stabbed the guard through the neck, and it turned out that Laikas's men were ready to attack by the time he drew the guard's attention.
"What?" The guard, who was talking to the maid, heard the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground, and turned his head to look. But by the time he found out, it was too late, and at the moment he turned around, a sharp dagger pierced his chest, blood poured into his lungs, and the guards, who were struggling to breathe, could only watch the five-person "guards" in front of him straddle his body and run towards the maid who was about to scream.
"Ah...... Woo" The maid had just opened her mouth, and Laicas, who had just taken care of the guard, quickly covered her mouth directly, causing the maid's voice to stop abruptly.
"Don't make any noise! Otherwise, you'll end up like them! In the midst of this murderous threat, the maid nodded tremblingly, tears rolling in her eyes.
The area of the fifth floor is much smaller, only the size of a room, and there are no guards in the cloister or anything like that, except for the two guards at the staircase, only one maid is arranged. That's right, there are basically several teams of guards patrolling the lower floors, and if the lord's residence is arranged with so many people, it will affect the lord's rest a little, and it will inevitably be a bit of a snake. After all, it is almost impossible for common sense to have someone pass through the layers of guards in front of them.
"Ma'am......" the maid's last trills were forced back in Laicas's cold-blooded eyes. There's something urgent out there to report to you. ”
“…… Well? Wait I'll clean up. After waiting for a long time, a lazy voice came from inside, probably just asleep.
Hearing that there was someone inside, Laikas knocked the maid unconscious with a knife without saying a word, and then rushed in directly with his subordinates. They don't have any pity, the task is to tie up this lord, as long as the lord is sure to be inside, who will wait for this girl to clean up? Think it's a banquet?
The door was violently kicked open by Laicas, and Lord Leila, who was wearing pajamas inside, looked at the five people who rushed in with a blank expression, and in a blink of an eye, she came to her senses. But it was in vain to wake up at this time, and before she could open her mouth to call the guards, Laicas, who rushed to the front, had already covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Hmm!" Lord Leila struggled weakly twice, and then her vision gradually blurred, and the last image she remembered was a cloth bag under a hood......
Rift City, Honey & Poets Tavern.
The fire continued, as if to prove why he had been copied at such a high price on the underground black market, and at this time not only the tavern, but also several nearby houses and stalls were implicated.
The shouts of fire extinguishing continued to sound in the city, and finally, a group of men and horses holding a token quickly broke through the patrol outside the fortress and walked towards the gate.
"Huh? What about these goddamn doormen? "The warrior looked at the door and saw that the guard at the door was gone. However, he didn't care about this, and directly took off his helmet and ran inside while pushing the door open. The fire outside was too fierce, and someone must have done it on purpose, so as the captain in charge of law and order, he must report it to the lord as soon as possible.
Brushing his face all the way, the warrior arrived at the residence of the fifth-story lord without the slightest hindrance, but he was surprised to find that at this time, the door of the lord's bedroom was open, the bed was a mess, and a hemp rope was tightly tied to the corner of the bed and lowered along the wide open window.
"The lord is attacked! Martial law in the city! After a few breaths, a roar came from the lord's bedroom.
In general, when there is no emergency, the gates are wide open. And when the order of martial law came, a caravan of about fifty people hurriedly drove away to the west as if in a hurry......
