Chapter 54: Betrayal
"Admiral!" Shen Mo and the others cautiously broke away from the battle and returned to the defensive circle formed by the Viking sailors.
Ruer and Hong Jian gasped for air, as the MT at the front, the two of them were under great pressure in the battle just now. If it weren't for Shen Mo's powerful assistance and the sacrifice of the Viking sailors who were not afraid of death, they would never have been able to carry it to this extent.
The powerful assassination ability of the treacherous assassination caused them to be completely suppressed, and when they were at the gate of the labyrinth, it was because of their carelessness that Ruhl broke his arm, and the whole team fell into a melee. Otherwise, an expedition that outnumbered its opponents would never have found itself in such a desperate situation.
"How's your doing?" Xu Mo took out a copy of the neurons of the king squid and handed it to Luer, asking him to recover his strength, the continuous damage and bleeding caused by the broken arm made the MT of the gold and silver clan extremely weak now.
"It's my fault!" Shen Mo said with a wry smile, "I thought that with the map in Raphael's hand, we would have a numerical advantage, and we could support you at the gate of the labyrinth until you arrived, and flank the enemy back and forth. Unexpectedly, the assassin's assault in the Temple of the Gods was too sharp, and we fell into a melee almost as soon as we saw it, so we could only retreat into the labyrinth, and fight and retreat! ”
"You can't blame Admiral Shen Mo entirely, I also agree to this plan!" Raphael walked over with a pale face, cold sweat dripping from the corners of his forehead, and the Portuguese boy had a deep scar on his back that could be seen to the bone, and the sailor shirt on his body was all penetrated.
"Hmph, they'll pay the price!" A trace of coldness flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, and he raised his head to look at the other side.
Opposite them, the Spanish and Venetian pirates gathered, and several of the Penton's Fellows returned to the ranks, with the entire team numbering more than twenty men. However, the deputy head of the Temple of the Gods, Thorn, did not appear, and remained hidden somewhere in the central hall.
Caterina's face was ugly, and the more than 100 Spanish sailors she had brought down from the "Rebel" were still in front of only a dozen or so, as well as two stormtroopers. The other sailors either died in the trap in front of them or got lost in the labyrinth. It can almost be said that the army was completely annihilated.
Although Caterina was full of doubts, she did not turn against the thorns for the time being. After all, the Venetian pirates suffered more losses than they did, and except for a few pirates with special skills, everyone else died. In the trap ahead, Thorn always let the Venetian pirates take the lead, leaving Caterina a little speechless.
In fact, the thorn deliberately used the life of the Venetian pirate to dispel Caterina's doubts, otherwise the red-haired female pirate would not be able to fight the Vasa and the gang so easily. As long as the members of the sub-group of the Temple of the Gods are alive, no matter how many Venetian pirates have died, they will not feel distressed.
"Katarina, looks like the 'sea tyrant' has arrived!" A tall blonde man approached Katarina's side, "Shall we exit the hall first!" ”
"It's useless, Sando! Didn't you see that the Swedish Admiral only brought three people? He is more cautious than we are, and I am afraid that most of his manpower has been left outside the labyrinth. Caterina sighed, "I was careless, I shouldn't have agreed to enter the pyramids when the information was unknown." ”
"Katarina, I feel so wrong! With the combat effectiveness of those Venetian pirates, traps could not threaten them at all. They seem to ...... It's deliberately draining our manpower! Sando's eyes flashed, and he whispered the doubts buried deep in his heart.
"Well, I feel the same way!" Caterina glanced at her deputy with a heavy face, "I'm too reckless, this battle is inexplicable." As soon as he saw the Vikings, he immediately attacked, and it seems that he already knew that these people were in the pyramid, and we should have negotiated with the Vikings first! ”
"In any case, it is impossible for the two sides to reconcile now, but we still have to worry about those Venetian pirates crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!" Sando grimaced, "I'll go tell the others to watch out for those pirates!" ”
"Well, we'll retreat in the other direction later, with the structure of the pyramid, there can't be only one entrance and exit to the labyrinth! Whoever returns to the city first will immediately let the Ribel go to sea and will not be able to stay in Alexandria any longer! Caterina mused, "Blakeney, you'll follow me later...... Blakeney! ”
"Blakeney, what are you doing?" Sando's eyes widened as he looked at the sailor's cutlass that Blakeney had placed on Caterina's pink neck.
"Blakeney, you're going to betray us?" Caterina was powdered, and Danfeng's eyes stared at the boy fiercely.
"Betrayal? No, I've never betrayed anyone! The young man rolled his eyes expressionlessly, "Don't you remember that I was forcibly taken on board by you?" ”
“…… I didn't expect that for such a long time, you are still thinking about this matter! Sandor and Caterina froze slightly, and the blonde youth sighed softly, "Since you have been reluctant to stay, when you return to Alexandria, you can go!" After such a long time together, you should be able to trust our assurance, let Admiral Caterina go first! ”
"Katerina, don't move, don't force me to hurt you!" Blakeney hesitated for a moment, but shook his head, "If you said that to me yesterday, I would be glad!" It's a pity that I can't decide whether to let you go or not......"
"Why can't you decide, you ......," said Sando, a little angrily.
"Sando, don't say it!" Caterina stopped struggling and looked at the Iron Boy with strange eyes, "I remember you once said in Amsterdam that you were waiting for a boat!" Could it be that the ship you are waiting for is ......?"
"That's right, the ship I'm waiting for is the Vasa, and I'm a Swedish naval officer!" Blakeney said with a stiff face.
Caterina and Sandor sighed in their hearts, they should have thought of it a long time ago. Blakeney had shown great skill in all the battles of the Ribbel, and was extremely familiar with seafaring affairs, which was not the standard of an ordinary seaman.
It's just that when the Iron Boy was in Amsterdam, he was completely dressed as an ordinary Dutch teenager. At that time, they only thought that the boy was the son of a Dutch nobleman, and they had no idea that he would be a Swedish naval officer. Otherwise, Caterina and Sando would never dare to make him Rebel's second stormtrooper.
At this time, other Spanish sailors and Venetian pirates also noticed the abnormality and slowly surrounded them. Blakeney was a little nervous as he held Caterina hostage and retreated to the Viking sailors.
"Blakeney, let go of that woman!" Xu Mo walked out of the team, took two steps forward, and said with an expressionless face, "We Vikings don't need to rely on holding women hostage to win the battle!" ”
Blakeney's eyes lit up, and he put down the scimitar on the side of the redhead's neck with relief, pushed Katerina towards Sando, and walked quickly towards Xu Mo.
"Admiral Katarina?" Xu Mo raised his arm and pointed at the red-haired female pirate with the short spear in his hand, "If you can return to Alexandria, I will ask you for justice at sea!" ”
"Of course!" Caterina's heroic face flashed a hint of gloom, and she gritted her teeth and replied stiffly. As soon as she finished speaking, the red-haired girl seemed to be frightened by something, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she shouted loudly, "Be careful......"
"Dang!" Xu Mo turned around and jumped up like a whirlwind, stretched out his spear with one arm, and the short spear poked out backwards like a poisonous snake, accurately pointing at a little cold light that suddenly appeared behind him, making a crisp metal collision sound.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, a black shadow split and merged behind Xu Mo like a cloud like a mist, and a little cold light suddenly spilled out from the black shadow, enveloping Xu Mo's whole body.
"Humph!" Xu Mo turned a blind eye to the cold light that was attacking the vital point of his body, and even narrowed one eye slightly, and the short spear in his hand simply and quickly pierced the center of the black shadow, forcing the black shadow to temporarily change its position and give up the offensive halfway.
Xu Mo and the black shadow got together and separated, just a blink of an eye, and they had already fought a few times. The black shadow flickered strangely in the air a few times, and finally stopped in front of the Venetian pirate. It was a thin man in a black suit, his face covered with a black cloth, and only a pair of sparkling eyes were revealed.
"Admiral!" The Viking sailors were shocked, and quickly stepped forward to surround Xu Mo, looking at the other side angrily, "Kill them!" ”
"Stop!" Xu Mo took a deep breath, stabilized his rapid breathing, turned his head and shouted to Katarina, "Now you can see the thoughts of these people!" ”
"Of course, they want to use the heads of the two of us to exchange the Spanish ** for a bounty!" Caterina looked at Thorn and the others with fiery eyes.
Hearing the Admiral's words, the remaining Spanish sailors gathered together, distanced themselves from the Venetian pirates, and stared angrily at their original companions. At the same time, the doubts that had already existed in their hearts also surfaced one by one.
The members of the Temple dressed as pirates were expressionless, and although all the pirates under their command were dead, their confidence was swelled to the extreme. The treacherous tactic was successful, and although the Spaniards and Vikings understood their intentions, it was impossible for the two groups to unite.
In the battle just now, the members of the Temple of the Gods still retained some of their strength, but it was only out of the strategy of continuing to consume the opponent that they did not make a fatal move. Although there were still more than ten Spanish sailors left, and there were more than twenty people left on the Vasa, when it came to combat effectiveness, the seven of them were the strongest.
"Hehe, I just understand now, doesn't it feel too late?" Thorn smiled coldly, and the piercing laughter seemed to be like grinding ~ rubbing metal sheets.
"Boom...... Thundered! While the three groups were holding their breath, there was a slight vibration on the floor of the hall, and a muffled thunderous sound sounded in the pyramid.
