Chapter 280. Long-awaited reinforcements
The Marsh Baron is the true master of this swamp, and even the power of the Governor of Grey Mist City cannot be transmitted here, and if he wants to master this most critical area that connects the Ketuf River, then Levi has only one ulcer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info.com
That's to take out this mysterious, magically powerful swamp baron!
They are enemies with direct interests, and there is no room for mitigation between the two sides, even if the governor of Grey Mist City can act as a mediator in the play, Levi will not believe that when he is at his most powerful, he can face these low-hanging land and be indifferent.
Think about it the other way, if Levi is weak, still weak and has no ability to protect himself, now he can't say that he will be able to overwhelm Gray Mist City and attack the Great Swamp, and then it will be an extravagant hope to be able to paralyze himself in Cape Town.
Therefore, Levi did not hesitate to order his Barbary pirates to chase after him, and he also rushed forward with the town militia and the 7-pounder cannon to hunt down the Marsh Baron, if he did not kill this guy who controlled the mysterious magical power, then he and his Cape Town would be in a situation of being on the alert to the enemy at any time.
He didn't like the days of a thousand days of thieves, so the Marsh Baron had to die, and Levi was sure that he and his infantry would be able to kill the leader of the Ketulf River thieves once and for all!
The two teams of Barbary pirates 24o had already assembled, and they rushed in with scimitars along the door where the swamp baron had fled, and the dim environment and light made them a little unreal, but as they looked at the empty appearance, they couldn't find the figure of the swamp baron who had just entered.
The town militia also came in quickly with bayonets, and one by one they swept through the fortress with the same vigilance, there was a kind of castle darkness, and the concealment of the complex environment, this group of town militia dispersed forward first, the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the suspicious corners around them, and the butts of the guns were already tightly pressed against their shoulders.
"The enemy may be hidden, and nothing unusual is present."
The town militiamen were quick to report their news, and the group of militiamen had already slowly stepped forward, their flints clenched in their hands, and their shiny bayonets could provide them with safety at close range.
The Barbary pirates with scimitars in their hands followed closely behind, looking at the surroundings with the same vigilance, but there was no figure in the council hall of this fortress, just like people going to an empty and unfinished building, which really made them a little vigilant in their own hearts, they didn't know where the enemy was hiding.
Levi also walked in quickly, his hands still in the pockets of his trench coat, as if he was strolling leisurely, but his eyes scanned the empty space in the building, and his brow couldn't help but furrow slightly.
"My lord, there are a few captives out there."
But just behind him, Wilmot and two Barbary pirates, along with three thieves who were tied up with their backhands, walked in, and by looking at the panicked look, they knew that they were the guys who had just been captured in the square.
When they came to Levi's side, the two Barbary pirates also inserted their scimitars back into their sheaths, but the feet of the two of them wearing hard cowhide boots kicked the legs of the three captives fiercely, directly causing the three guys to kneel heavily in front of Levi, and Wilmot also scolded in a cold tone: "Do you know, where did that guy from the swamp baron flee?" ”
Those who are familiar with this terrain must be the personal guards of the swamp baron, and the three of them are also recognized by many water thieves as the three loyal dogs that the swamp lord trusts the most.
But at this time, they didn't have the arrogant and murderous appearance before, but their faces were full of blood, and their eyes were also filled with extreme fear and uneasiness, kneeling on the ground and shaking their throats, panting and saying, "No, no, no, we, we really don't know where the Marsh Baron went."
"Bang-"
With Wilmot's glance, the Barbary pirate next to him instantly grasped his scimitar, and the scabbard was slammed into the faces of the three thieves like an iron rod.
The huge force did not show mercy at all, and they pumped the three swamp barons' guards again and again, until their faces were already bloody and even half of their teeth were pulled out raw, and then they stopped twitching with Levi's raised hand, and still stood in place, looking at the three guys with fierce eyes.
"You're the Marsh Baron's personal guard, the ones you trust, aren't you?"
Levi looked down at the three men who had almost collapsed at his feet, his brow furrowed slightly, not for their current miserable condition, but at their tenacity that still hadn't told the Baron of the Swamp.
Without waiting for Levi to give any orders, Wilmot next to him had already understood what he was thinking, and almost easily pulled out the scimitar from the Barbary pirate sheath next to him, and plunged it into the middle of the three guys' heads, the sharp blade almost touching their scalps, bringing a death cold and forest.
"I know"
A water thief guard finally couldn't bear the torture of death, raised his head and looked at a wall inside, pointed to the other side and said in a trembling voice: "There is a secret passage in front, only the swamp baron can enter, and we can't follow up, the others really don't know"
"Secret Passage?" Levi also nodded slightly, and subconsciously turned his head to look over, just in the direction he was pointing, and under one wall was a lone low platform, on which a chair was also placed.
It seemed that the Marsh Baron had once sat in the place where the order was given, Levi nodded to the Barbary pirates next to him, and a dozen pirates immediately understood what he meant, and walked quickly towards the wall with their scimitars in hand, and the town militia next to them also separated, and the muzzles of the black holes were pointed at that side.
"There's a dark passage, I don't know where it leads!"
The Barbary pirates replied quickly, because they had already appeared at the entrance of this secret passage that was not concealed at all, and one of them even jumped down, holding a scimitar and squinting at the dim secret passage inside, and also reminded loudly: "There is a lot of space inside, it seems to be a corridor!" ”
"Chase!" Wilmot's order also sounded directly, and the dozen or so Barbary pirates in front did not hesitate at all, jumped down quickly and rushed forward along the dark passage.
The Marsh Baron may be in front of them, and even if it costs a certain amount of casualties, they will completely kill this guy, because only by taking out this long-known Marsh Baron can they ensure that the Marsh is really occupied by them, and that they will not be attacked by retaliation from time to time.
A mage hiding in the shadows to carry out a sneak attack is not much better than a knight with a vindictive spirit hiding in the shadows to sneak attack, at least for the person who is being attacked, it is an unacceptable danger.
Levi and Wilmot also quickly jumped off the dark passage, chasing forward along the path explored by the Barbary pirates in front, and the town militia and Barbary pirates behind them also strictly guarded them, at least to ensure the safety of the two.
The secret passage was deep, but it was as wide as a corridor, and after chasing it for a distance of more than three hundred meters, they also came to a door that resembled a dark room.
"Bang!"
kicked the door open, and the Barbary pirates at the front were the first to rush in, and even the dozen or so pirates were ready to sacrifice, but looking at the dim appearance in the dark room in front of them, except for a few simple pieces of furniture, there was still no figure of the Marsh Baron, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Levi and Wilmot chased after them, looking at the empty appearance inside, they couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help gritting their teeth and said, "What's the matter?" ”
It stands to reason that the Marsh Baron should be blocked here, but this dark room is empty, and the result is unexpected, but there is only one possibility, that is, there is a secret passage in this dark room, which connects to other exits.
"Found it, here!"
Without waiting for Levi's orders, this dark room was immediately carefully searched by the Barbary pirates, and in the corner of the wall not far away, after lifting a curtain, a slightly bright dark passage appeared in front of them.
This secret passage is already a little smaller, but it can still allow three people to walk side by side, and Li Wei couldn't help frowning slightly, this kind of secret passage is not only not like an escape route, but it is similar to a passage for small groups of troops to enter and exit, which makes him frown even more, as if he thought of something.
"Lord Levi, I didn't expect you to come here."
And just when Levi wanted to order someone to go in, there was a sound of footsteps on the opposite side of the secret passage, and it seemed that many people were walking towards it, and at the same time they were smiling and shouting: "It's really nice to meet you here." ”
I haven't seen the shadows of the two sides yet, but this voice has also been revealed, the Barbary pirates and town militia in the dark room are slightly back, they have more than fifty people, and judging by the footsteps coming from the dark tunnel, the number of people on the other side is also about the same, which makes Levi and Wilmot subconsciously glance at each other.
They did not reply, as if waiting, and soon the curtain of the secret passage was lifted again, and out came two Governor's Guards, all clad in chain mail and with barrel helmets on their heads.
At the same time, a middle-aged man with a slight taro also walked out with a smile, and the figure of the swamp baron followed behind him, looking at Levi seemed to be very familiar, he couldn't help but open his hand and make a hugging gesture, and said with a smile: "We meet again, but the identity between us can finally stand on the same line again." ”
"Is that you?"
Li Wei lowered his head slightly, he seemed to be recalling, but the memory in his mind had already reminded him of what this guy looked like, who it was. (To be continued.) )
