Chapter 11: Bloody Night
"We're almost there, little ghost, wake up."
It was about half past three in the morning, and after all the way, it seemed that the night's hurried journey was finally coming to an end, and although it was unfamiliar enough to take some detours, the second was still in time to reach the border of Noxus before dawn.
It should not be more than ten kilometers from the city gate, and from a distance, the towering walls are even more majestic in the pale moonlight, and the bright lights are evenly divided on the city walls, and the soldiers who are in charge of guarding the city here have never stopped since the walls were erected, and they are divided into three groups, taking turns to guard the safety of the land.
The Noxians were proud of this - they had reason to think that when they first arrived in this land, their conditions and resources were not the best, but even so, Noxus was the first country to establish a city with complete mechanisms and functions to protect its people from the ferocious creatures of Varojan.
"The action of this group of people is indeed terrifying...... "The second muttered to himself as he looked at the magnificent building, even if he was full of disdain and hatred, he did not have any sense of emotion when analyzing, and judged the strength and advantages of his opponent carefully and fairly, which is what a king should do.
Due to time constraints, II had no way to investigate more about the deployment of troops here, and now that he was in the border region of Noxus, the soldiers here were not as easy to deceive as before, and were stationed here. One. Root. Read. The best warriors in Noxus are all in the novel, and the bloody battlefield is their favorite place, and the soldiers who have long been accustomed to flattering their superiors before may run away in fright if they recognize them, and if they were replaced by these people, they may have already taken their weapons and headed straight for their heads.
One day, I will stand on this wall as a victor...... The Second said to himself, he did not stop for too long because of this oath, not far outside the city, the Demacian troops in charge of receiving him were waiting for him, he could not let so many people accompany him on the adventure.
"Hey little ghost, wake me up quickly, you can get a good night's sleep when you get out of here, can you hold on for a while now?"
Vescero, who was huddled on the side, didn't react, and II pushed him again, and it was always a little unreasonable for a soldier to fall asleep while on a mission, although the previous level II had successfully fooled the past with the excuse of recruits, but he had already arrived here, and II didn't want anything to go wrong anyway.
"Hmm...... Well. After being disturbed twice in a row, Viscello finally sat up slowly, and he didn't say anything more, just muttered and muttered in a vague reply.
"Sleepy? Hurry up and wake up, we're getting out of here! Looking at his sloppy appearance, the second didn't think too much, and after a few hours of sleep, he looked even worse than before, looking ahead with confused eyes, just like the young man who didn't hesitate to assassinate him before.
"Hah...... It's okay...... Haha......"
He replied, but this inexplicable smile really startled the second, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at it carefully, and asked Viscello with concern, "Boy, are you really okay?" ”
Viscello didn't answer immediately, he didn't even react, he still looked ahead in confusion, and just when the second wanted to reach out and push him, he suddenly turned his head and replied refreshed like a freshman: "There are no questions, what should I do?" ”
"Huh? Belch...... Sit here and don't make any noise, I'll take care of the rest. ”
This arrangement was not well executed, he sat in his seat with a spear and seemed to be very honest, but his demeanor and eyes were completely like that of a six-year-old child, looking around curiously from time to time.
What's going on, is it because sleep has changed the magic you cast? Spiritual magic is really not his forte...... Although the second had doubts in his heart, time did not allow him to think about it anymore, and after determining the location of the city gate, he did not go directly there, but quietly parked the car aside.
The reason for this is simple, the order issued by the general can be unimpeded in the city, but if you want to leave the city under the pretext of sending a letter, then the order should be issued by the headquarters, not to mention that the signature on the letter is only that of a district governor, and if you want to use this reason to go out of the city in the early hours of the morning, you will definitely be stopped by the guards.
Although the soldiers here are brave and good at fighting, as long as the city gate is open, with the strength of II and Viscello, they can't stop it, and now what II needs most is an exit, a usable exit.
What reason could these people have opened the gates? , The second took out the map in his arms and looked at it helplessly, this is only a step away from the outside of the city, but the strong city wall firmly blocks him, although it will not be so comfortable to move in the sewers, but ......
Wait a minute...... Outlet? Sewer?
"Boy, don't be stupid there, follow me!"
Just when Viscello was curiously looking at the scenery in the distance, the voice of the second suddenly came from behind him, and what made him a little puzzled was that the second, who had been moving forward with quiet steps, seemed to have forgotten this at the moment, he grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and sprinkled it on his body, and at the same time did not forget to leave some for Viscello, after shaking his head vigorously, he couldn't help but ask, "What are we going to do?" ”
"You'll find out later, remember to keep it the way you are." The second did not explain, but lowered his voice and ordered, after a few intersections, what appeared in front of the two of them was not somewhere else, it was the brightly lit city gate, and the second did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and walked straight towards the guards.
"Stop! You guys...... Well? The two men who appeared at this moment made all the soldiers who were standing guard instantly ready to attack, but as they got closer, the familiar uniforms made them lay down their weapons.
"Relax! Just relax! It's all your own people! The second waved his hand exaggeratedly, perhaps because he had not slept all night, and his greasy hair and dust covered him made him look like an ordinary soldier, and he did not look like a king at all.
"Where did you come from? What do you want to do at this time? Although they laid down their weapons, their tone was still stiff, the defense of the city gate was a very serious job, and as soldiers, they should know better, so it was a joke to go straight ahead.
"Ah, sorry to bother you, but this is the only place where you can find people, isn't it?" The Second smiled nonchalantly, "I just wanted to ask, where is the sewer entrance here?" I want to go for a drink. ”
"Sewer entrance?" The guards looked at him, then at Viscello, who was curious behind him, and suddenly understood something, "You are the private soldiers of a certain noble, what is the matter with coming here?" ”
"It's just a letter to deliver, anyway, there's no need to rush back, we're going to drink some wine here and rest for the night, and then we'll leave tomorrow, if it's convenient, can you tell us where the entrance is?"
The guards didn't answer immediately, they looked at each other, and a malicious smile gradually appeared on their lips, as the second guessed, the soldiers here didn't care about the pampered waste and the so-called rules, in this case, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything, and giggled with them.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you tell you" After a while, a soldier finally stood up, pointed to the road facing the city gate, and said with a smile and a seemingly serious smile: "You go along this road, turn right at the first junction, then turn right and go straight at the first junction you encounter on that road, then turn right and go straight again, and you will find it!" ”
The sneer had already come from behind him, this guy was clearly just going around in circles, and the second force held back the anger in his heart, still smirking and asked, "Is this ...... This road seems a little wrong, it always feels like you're going around in circles, doesn't it? ”
"What! Did you find out about this? The soldier's eyes widened rather exaggeratedly, and the sneer behind him had turned into a laugh, "Only those who are smart enough can detect this, but unfortunately you are not even smarter, or you will know what I mean, hurry up and follow the path I say!" Otherwise, I can't guarantee what kind of trouble you're going to have! ”
II's expression changed a little, he silently clenched his fists, if he could, he wanted to cut off this guy's head with a knife, but reason told him that he must not do this, after looking at each other for a while, his expression finally relaxed, and said in a low voice: "I understand, thank you for the reminder, goodbye." ”
"Hmph, you're smart." The soldier snorted coldly and returned to his post.
Doesn't that work...... The Second silently pondered in his mind, although it would not be difficult for him to use magic to climb over this wall, but what about Viscello? Should I break in? No, it's too risky, so what else is there to do......
It was at this moment that the second suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something, what about the imp who had been following him all along? Before he could turn around, a scream suddenly pierced the night sky, and behind him, the soldier just now had fallen in a pool of blood, and beside him, Viscello, who was armed with a spear, smiled like a devil, as if tasting some kind of delicacy **** the blood that slipped from the corner of his mouth.
