Chapter 163: Return to Snell...... sewer
The room of the Socrates was very small, with only five or six people seated in it, and in the middle, Hannibal sat upright, and below him, Arrin, Ravenna, Mars, and others sat in turn, and at the bottom there was a sluggish, hiccuping Duck. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hannibal smiled, "First of all, we would like to congratulate Dak, the greatest hero of this operation and the chief soldier of the 1643 mercenary team!"
Arrin and the others looked at each other: "Warrior, isn't he a battle mage?"
Hannibal laughed, "Where did you hear about this magical branch of mages?"
"Uh, Miss......"
"See, you make a preconceived mistake and then keep looking for arguments to prove it. β
Yarlin said embarrassedly: "Actually, this is not bad, if I had known that he was a warrior...... On the contrary, there may not be such a good ending. β
Mars smiled: "Commander, what you just wanted to say must be 'I knew he was a warrior, and I took him down with one hand', right?"
Remembering that they were fooled by Dack's hairy boy, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Hannibal asked Dark, "Why did you spend half a day and almost die at the bottom of the sea, when the more than fifty people in front of you came up safely?"
Royce's indignant voice came from the call circle above his head: "I don't know what kind of nerves he has, take the weapon with him! I don't know, I almost dragged him to the bottom of the sea!"
"Weapons?"
"His damn hammer is beaten by pure demonic steel! My female horse is sixty pounds, isn't it? It's strange if it's not sinking!"
Duck raised his eyes weakly: "I, I think, it's still useful." β
"Well," said Hannibal, "you're tired, go and get some rest, we're here." β
"Good. The dazed Duck slowly got up, leaned against the bulkhead, and slowly left the conference room.
When Duck went out, Hannibal said, "Guys, after this battle, you are already dead and cannot appear in the public eye. β
Everyone nodded, they knew very well that there were too many doubts in the Alcatraz War, and their butts were not clean, so it would be better to be able to clear them up.
"The Holy Envoy Hixtu has helped us, and he declared in Snell Harbor that we chose to blow up the island and sink the living corpses in order to defend the harbor. They were joined by the courageous Officer Duck and the righteous Rev. Isabella. β
Everyone sighed, and Cook laughed, "So, that's the best way." We just need to change our identities and be careful, and we can live a peaceful life in the future. β
"But it's not over. We need to have a suitable capacity to continue our lives, for example, I am now a public official in the City Administration Office of the City Hall. You also have different options. β
Yarlin said: "You can say that it doesn't matter if you are a mercenary or a bandit. β
"Fifty-five men were divided into three parts, and some of them went to the Iron Tooth Village as hired laborers to work for Mr. Nicholas. β
The young people led by Cook and Steve all showed eager expressions, Nicholas was an alchemist who had known him since the Battle of Jerusalem, and he was very helpful to everyone, and alchemy was full of temptation, follow him, maybe there will be another god-level alchemist or something.
Hannibal continued: "In the second part, the brethren who had not shown their faces in Port Snell before joined the 1643 mercenary team. β
Mars nodded slightly, as the sharpest blade in the first army, he was used to licking blood with his knife, and he really didn't want to plant flowers and sew clothes, and he couldn't pretend. Since the battle mages of the 1643 mercenary team, the warriors, are so strong, joining in will not humiliate the bayonet sword in their hands. Looking at the side, there are many strong partners with a worried expression, and it is estimated that their mercenary road will not be lonely.
Hannibal stood up: "In the third part, those who have long been registered in the military headquarters and have command talents, such as Arlin and Ravenna, even if you are burned to ashes, you will be recognized at a glance." From now on, you must hide in the darkness and do what others want to do but dare not do and cannot do!"
Some of the meritorious veterans such as Arlin and Ravenna stood up at the same time: "Listen to the arrangement of the chief of staff!"
"Your destination is in the sewers of Port Snell. If all goes well, in about ten years, we will be able to straighten our backs again and walk in the sun. β
Yar Lynch said, "Ten years in the sewers?"
"Yes, to put it seriously, the kingdom of Doland, no, the well-being of the entire continent rests on you people. As he spoke, he pushed a list in front of Arrin, "These people are on the list, inform them." Just as I had made a plan to raid Jerusalem, for the sake of secrecy, if anyone disobeyed, killed. β
Arrin and Ravenna looked at each other and nodded together. "It sounds like you have a good plan, but can you tell us how we can dive in when the ship is spotted as soon as it docks, and who do we contact when we reach the sewers?"
"We'll find out in a moment. β
At this time, the call circle above his head lit up, and Royce's voice came: "This ship is about to dive, please stay calm and don't move around at will." β
Yarlin was frightened, and dived, "Are you going to scuttle the ship?" but when she saw Hannibal's calm face, she was relieved.
In the silence, everyone felt the hull of the ship tremble slightly and began to accelerate.
After waiting for a few minutes, Ravenna said, "Still accelerating? At such a high speed, it won't take more than ten minutes to enter the observation range of the port, right?"
Before he could finish speaking, the hull of the ship suddenly shook and began to turn.
"Turning? It's not a sinking ...... either"
"No!" shouted Cook, "it's sinking! The steering wheel is killed, and the bow is pressed into the water by using the torsion of the bow turning to the side! Genius! The designer is a genius! God, how is the seal achieved? How is the flat propulsion turned into downward power? The great progress in materials science and dynamics! Those oars and sail ships can die!"
As she spoke, the Socrates slowly sank to the bottom of the water, silently and quickly approaching the port of Snell.
"No matter how much you dive, you have to float up and dock at the dock, right?
"Not necessarily, but it could also be a buyoff to the officials at the docks. β
"But there are so many people that it's impossible to buy off all the officials on the docks, right? And the pilots, porters, and the bosses of the small sampans?"
"Well, you win. β
β...... What a win, I haven't answered the question yet!"
Amid the exclamations and doubts of the crowd, the Socrates slowly floated up.
The call circle rang again: "Everyone, we are here, we can come to the deck." β
The hatches of the deck were opened, and the Knights stepped onto the deck, where they were surprised to find the Socrates docked in an underground river, with a smooth and flat dome overheadβwhat appeared to be a long underground cavern that had been converted into a small dock for mooring.
Yarlin couldn't help but ask: "It's incredible that there is a water hole as big as a ship down here, are we under the harbor?"
Royce walked over and said, "Not strictly speaking, half of this channel stretches from the reef of Port Snell to the sea. It takes about half an hour to walk upstream, up the hole, to the bottom of Snell Harbour. Let's go up. With that, Royce jumped lightly, jumped from the deck to the nearby trestle, and led the group to the deepest part of the cavern.
After walking a short distance, the lights suddenly lit up in front of me, and in an instant, the top of the cave, the side wall, and in front of everyone, there were snow-bright light stone lights, which almost made people unable to open their eyes. Immediately after, a huge cheer resounded through the cave!
Arrin was surprised, "Who is greeting us?"
Loud laughter echoed in the cavern, and a bearded man with a freshly tied beard laughed and opened his arms to everyone: "Heroes of the Order, Petrarch, King of the Sewers and servant of the God of Darkness, send you dark greetings!"
