Chapter Eighty-Six: Rescue
The sewer entrance has become a battlefield.
The mercenaries who were unique to Lugoin poured down the stairs from the ground into the sewers. A few flaming skeletons were completely submerged in the sea of people in the blink of an eye.
The mercenaries, wielding their spears that flashed with cold light, instantly seized the advantageous position and established a defensive line at the entrance. It wasn't long before Grez walked down the stairs with a gloomy face. He swept his eyes around, and snorted heavily with hidden anger: "What about them? ”
"Didn't see them." A mercenary captain shook his head with a solemn expression.
The undead have invaded the sewer entrance, meaning that the entire sewer layer has fallen. Gross and his party are not here, I am afraid that they are already very lucky. At most, they are forced to go elsewhere by these powerful undead.
"Go and find it!" Grez was furious.
Rugoin's power was divided into three parts. One is Jehein's guard troops. The second is the thousands of professionals in the city. The third party is his mercenaries. Guards keep the city safe. Professionals are responsible for external affairs. Mercenaries do both. The cooperation of the three parties has always ensured the steady development of Lugaoin.
But the proceeds from the excavations of the ancient tombs of Talasya over the years have made Rugoin more powerful than ever. In addition to the large number of professionals, even the guards are becoming more and more powerful with the magic items they can get from cracking. His position is becoming more and more inconspicuous. He feared that in the near future, the mercenaries would become an insignificant force and eventually be completely annexed.
Gross was the one he decided to bet on.
He needs Gross, who can speak in front of Jerhein, and he needs to build up to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. With the influence of the Rufis family, continue to maintain the unique status of mercenaries.
But now in case Gross dies in the sewers, it's all over. The Rufits family will not rest on their laurels. The crime of murdering the heir of the family will definitely be imposed on the mercenary union, and take the opportunity to annex the mercenary union. After so many years in Lu Gaoin, how could he not see the hideous faces of these nobles under their gentle appearance.
"Lord Greze, I need an explanation." A paladin in his thirties walked down the steps with a gloomy face.
"It's none of mine." Gretz said with a blank face and without looking back.
"If it weren't for your incompetence, how could my brother have gone down to such a filthy place." The paladin's voice rose sharply, and his tone was full of anger.
"He insisted on coming down with the messengers from Camp Rogg." Grace's temples swelled, leaving no handle.
"It's your job to clean the sewers, not my brother." The paladin glared.
"Your Excellency Ruhadi." Grez turned his head and looked at the paladin coldly: "I stopped him, but he insisted on coming down." I'm just a mercenary leader. He is the future heir of your Rufis family. Can I refuse his request? ”
"That's your business." Paladin Ruhadi was furious.
Grace's face turned pale, and he wanted to smash this bastard with one punch. He has been mixed with Lu Gaoin for decades, how can he not see that Lu Hadi is playing on the topic. It's not been a day or two since there have been rumors of a rift between this miscellaneous and Gross over the matter of family succession. How could he make things difficult for Gross?
Isn't it just that he wants to take the opportunity to annex the Mercenary Guild and strengthen his strength?
"Damn." Grace was upset.
At this moment, a commotion erupted among the mercenaries. Grace was furious and roared, "Who is making trouble? ”
"Summer's back." There was a shout from the crowd.
Grez's eyes lit up, and he immediately strode over. Now that Summer's is back, Gross must be back too. As long as you get through this hurdle, who would dare to blackmail yourself.
Brutally pushing through the crowd, Grez stepped to the front. At this time, the figures of Lan Wu and his party were faintly visible in the darkness. He fixed his eyes and saw that the one at the front was none other than Summer. His gaze swept over, and he couldn't help but suffocate.
Summer, in. Those messengers from the Rogue camp are also there. It's just that Gross is missing.
"Mistress Grayz, go and save Mistress Gross." Summer's heart finally let go of Grace when he saw Grez's figure.
"Summer, where are the Gross?" Grez strode over to Summer's question, ignoring the latter's panting and near-collapse.
"II...... Second floor. Summerer struggled to raise two fingers. The relaxation after a high degree of tension caused him to lose the last bit of strength. In order to get back as soon as possible along the way, he had exhausted all his strength, and he was holding on hard in one breath.
"Damn." Grez roared angrily.
At this moment, he wanted to strangle Summerer with his own hands. It was to make Gross and those hillbillies die that he deliberately sent Summer, a coward. Just let Gross and his party stay at the entrance until the team gathers up, and forget it. But this damn guy just put Gross in danger.
"I ......," Lan Wu interrupted.
"Shut up, hillbilly." Grace was angry, glaring at Lan Wu viciously.
"Okay, I'll shut up." Lan Wu shrugged helplessly, turned around and muttered in a low voice, "They don't seem to know what it means to save people like fighting fires." It seems that Gross is dead. Then we'll leave it alone, it's not the people from Camp Rogue who died anyway. ”
Avila and the others were already unimpressed with Lu Gaoin. Hearing Lan Wu's instructions, they nodded happily one by one and took the initiative to retreat to the side to sort out their equipment. In the breakthrough just now, everyone was injured to varying degrees, so it's time to treat it.
Grez was suffocated again. He knew Gross's strength. If the rescue is timely, it will not be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive. But if you delay a little longer, you will really die.
"Departure, Goal, Sewer 2nd Floor." Grayz glared at Lan Wu fiercely and made a note of the holiday. Now it is more important to rescue Gross.
The mercenaries received the order and immediately formed a team. With a big hand, Grez grabbed Summer's hand and pushed it forward to the group, roaring, "Lead the way, if you don't die this time, I'll let you go." ”
Summerer secretly complained. The job of leading the way is too dangerous, and it is usually done by senior mercenaries. He's just a trainee mercenary, not really a mercenary, and he's not very bold. Lead the way in front, eighty percent of them won't be able to go back alive. He didn't dare to contradict Grez, so he had to lead the team to the entrance to the second floor of the sewer.
In a short time, the vanguard had already encountered the pursuing skeletons. The sound of fighting broke out from the front in an instant. The strength of these twenty or so burning skeletons is not low, but it is difficult to defeat the many mercenaries. Gradually, they were suppressed.
Lan Wu listened to the sound of fighting in front of him, and his expression was indifferent. Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and he looked up and saw Grace growling in a low voice with a gloomy face, "If he dies." I'm going to kill you and bury you. ”
"Instead of wasting time threatening me, think about how you can find him in the shortest possible time." Lan Wu shrugged, unconcerned.
"You, you wait." Grez laughed angrily. He was completely enraged by Lan Wu's attitude.
Lan Wu shrugged helplessly.
Grez glared at Lan Wu fiercely, turned and left. As soon as he took two steps, he roared in a low voice without looking back, "You'd better go back to Camp Rog now and never appear in front of me again." Otherwise, even Akara won't be able to save you. ”
"We are not afraid of threats." Flora was angry and fought back without showing weakness.
Grez glanced back at her, snorted heavily, and turned to catch up with the group in front of her.
Seeing him leaving, Flora wanted to take advantage of the situation to vent a few words, but Lan Wu suddenly grabbed her: "Don't make trouble, don't forget our purpose." ”
Flora was not angry, but she had no choice but to give up. She knew Lan Wu's plan. These mercenaries of Grez are just in time to be hired to go to Rog's camp to defend against Beard.
At this moment, the paladin Ruhadi strode forward. He walked up to Lan Wu, looked up and down, and roared angrily, "You put my brother in danger? ”
"Your brother? Grose? Lan Wu looked at Ruhadi with a strange expression.
"Not bad." Ruhadi glared.
"What does he have to do with me?" Lan Wu asked rhetorically.
"If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have come to this filthy sewer. You killed him. Ruhadi foamed at the mouth, and his eyes revealed a thick killing intent.
Lan Wu's expression was strange, and he turned around and asked, "Lu Gaoyin people like to brush their sense of existence like this?" ”
Avila couldn't help but laugh. Flora, in particular, laughed unceremoniously and raised two middle fingers fiercely: "I think you wish he died here." ”
Ruhadi's temples jumped suddenly, and then he jumped like thunder: "Take them with you, and if my brother dies here, let them be buried together." ”
Two stout barbarians strode up from behind, staring at Lan Wu and his group with ill will. Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and obediently led Avila and his party to follow the mercenary team in front.
Seeing Lan Wu and his party go away, Lu Hadi narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his voice and ordered: "Find him, if he is not dead, kill him." Put all the blame on these hillbillies. ”
"Yes, Lord Ruhadi."
More than twenty followers answered in a deep voice, and one after another passed past Ruhadi, clinging to the end. Ruhadi watched his followers go away, completely out of his rage. He snorted softly and turned to walk up the steps.
……
"Damn." Gross turned pale and fled in a hurry. There was a dense sound of footsteps in the darkness behind him.
He was almost out of running. Along the way, he avoided the undead as much as he could. But the number of these undead was beyond his imagination. It was as if all the undead had gathered on the second floor of the sewers. Wherever he fled, he would always encounter a crowd of about a dozen or twenty burning skeletons or burning death archers. fled all the way, and I don't know how many people gathered behind me. All he knew was that he could definitely resist it.
Flee until reinforcements from Grez arrive.
Gross braced his heavy legs with the thought. Suddenly, another staircase appeared in front of him, leading to the ground. He couldn't help but choke, and his tense nerves almost collapsed.
Damn, the entrance to the third floor of the sewers.
