Chapter 17: The Tragic Bait

Running after them to the basement, a soldier shouted

A large number of soldiers, still in the midst of the chaos, rushed to the staircase leading to the basement

Julian and the others walked through the basement to the entrance to the sewers, opened the sewer manhole cover that Frey had concealed, and jumped off

The sewer was very filthy, and the feces and urine were expelled from here, and swarms of rats ran by, and it was in this narrow escape passage that only one person could pass through Guò, in which Julian waded forward step by step with an alchemical object that could be used for lighting, and the two behind followed with difficulty, because of the thick sludge under his feet, his whole leg was deeply trapped in the sludge, so every step was quite difficult

They fled down the sewers, chasing after them, and the shouts of the palace guards were heard behind them

Oops, we've been overtaken, Marn said worriedly

I saw that the soldier who walked at the back walked past Marne and walked to Julian, and then put down Frei on his back, held it in his hand, handed it to Julian, and said, "Captain, you go first, I'll break the back."

No, how could I abandon my subordinate Julian and refuse

However, the tragic warrior couldn't help but say something, and threw Frey in his hand, and Julian hurriedly caught it, only to see that the subordinate had already turned around, drew his weapon, and walked back behind him with difficulty

You guy...... Returning, Julian yelled at the soldier who was drifting away

Captain, let's go, do you want his blood to be shed in vain, Marn saw that Julian had the intention of going back to chase after that subordinate, and hurriedly persuaded

Julian hesitated, then turned around and carried Frey in the direction of the exit, shouting behind him to kill him, tears in his eyes, mixed with the blood coming out of the wound on his face, dripping into the dirty water

At this time, there is only forward in front of him......

At this time, at the highest point of the emperor, a man in a black cloak was cold-eyed, and the palace guards poured into the basement in groups

The flames and white smoke that had been used to free Julian from the siege in the Imperial Garden were not caused by the white phosphorus trap that Frey had pre-arranged, but by this man, Meritgar

If you want me to help this kid complete the task, and I can't let him know that someone is helping him, haha, the old man of the Pope, the problem that the old man gave me is really embarrassing, Meritgar said to herself

But though his words were full of dissatisfaction with the Pope's request, there was an indescribable satisfaction in his wicked smile

Yes, he was satisfied, because he had let his sword drink the blood of the strong, and just before Julian fought with the three knights of kingship, Merit Gar had secretly lifted Julian's greatest obstacle

The sneak attack from behind the shadow paladin not only seriously injured the commander of the palace guard, who was a royal knight, but also directly took the lives of the other two knights

It's up to you whether you can escape or not, boy, I'm not going to get into that filthy sewer

When Julian and Marn made it to the sewer exit, it was already dawn, but they were stunned by what they saw

I saw that there were corpses strewn outside the sewer exit, and Julian had arranged for the two teams that had arranged to meet them at the sewer exit, but only four people were still alive at this time

It turned out that the palace guards knew about Julian, and they used the sewers to escape, and immediately notified the city defense troops to send a cavalry force of more than forty people to the sewer exit first, in an attempt to intercept Julian and them, so they had a fierce encounter with the two groups of the Knights Templar guarding the exit, although the number of soldiers in these two groups was only sixteen, but they fought the emperor without fear of death, and with good military skills, the soldiers of these two groups heroically annihilated this enemy, which was more than twice their own, but they suffered heavy losses, and only four people were still alive

However, they finally waited for Julian, who had captured the emperor, and they returned, but Julian's condition was also very different from the expectations of the four surviving soldiers, how could they have thought that the more than forty brothers who had infiltrated the palace only the captain and the adjutant returned alive, and the captain had many more scars on his body, and it seemed that the injuries were not light, and the huge wound on his face was even more shocking, but imagine that the captain had experienced a very cruel battle in the palace

However, when the four surviving soldiers knew that most of the more than forty comrades who infiltrated the palace were killed by the emperor who was unconscious on the back of the adjutant, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all wanted to kill the emperor directly, Julian and Marn hurriedly stopped it, but at this time, they heard a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, obviously they had not received the news of the first batch of knights returning for a long time, and then the city garrison sent a second group of cavalry

From the voice, it could be heard that the cavalry troops coming from this second wave were more numerous than the first wave, and it seemed that there were more than a hundred or so people, and the shape shì was once again grim

What to do, looking at the dust that was getting closer and closer, Marn asked Julian worriedly

What else can I do I try to resist the delay here you guys take this dog emperor and Frey away immediately Julian didn t want to say immediately

No, Captain, you are our hero, you and the adjutant have more important things to do, this bait is up to us to do it, Julian's courage to take the lead and be a bait for his subordinates has touched these soldiers, and they are now willing to die for Julian

No, Julian shouted

However, the four soldiers did not seem to hear Julian's shouts, and two of them hurriedly picked up two corpses from the ground, wrapped them in cloth, and carried them on their backs, and then the two men mounted the two horses left behind by the first wave of soldiers, and ran in a direction perpendicular to the back of the emperor, while the other two soldiers picked up the other two corpses and rode away in the second direction

It's too late for you Julian to stop him, and he saw from a distance that the imperial cavalry was chasing in two separate groups in the two directions in which the four of them had fled, and it was clear that there was no one to look for him near the exit of the sewer where he was hiding at this time
