Because of the life-and-death crises encountered every year, cities within the borders of the stars generally have the habit of digging secret passages.

There are five secret passages in Bay City under Allen's rule, which helped him a lot during the starry period.

And as a fairly large city in the south of the stars, Reef City will also not lack the existence of secret passages.

Warcraft generally have no wisdom at all, especially during the starry period, they are like being blinded by lard, and there is nothing else in their eyes except siege, so the existence of the secret passage is very convenient and basically will not be used by Warcraft.

But that's just for Warcraft, if you replace it with an enemy with a normal IQ, the existence of the secret passage is a big loophole.

Alan grew up in Reef City, so he knows the secret passages of Reef City very well. Normally, there are heavy soldiers around the secret passage, so even if some ill-intentioned guys find the secret passage and sneak into it, they often don't get any benefit, but that is only in the face of small-scale infiltration or attack.

Right now, if Reef City is really robbed by the orcs, it must not be a small-scale attack, but a large-scale attack!

"Therefore, the secret passage placed on the surface cannot be walked, and the entrance must have been blocked in the city a long time ago. ”

Facing the eyes of the guards, Alan said. Then he thought for a moment, then turned the corner with his guards and entered the woods again.

Every city has a secret passage for escape, which is the basic common sense of the stars, but what most people don't know is that in the castle of the lord of each city, there is basically a secret passage for the lord to go to the outside world, which usually does not open, and only when it comes to the moment of life-threatening, the lords will escape from the city along this secret passage.

This kind of secret passage is very important for the lords, and it can even be said to be a hole card, but Alan is not very interested in the existence of the lord's secret passage, when he was in Bay City before, because he wanted to hide out of the city, he did not shy away from exposing the secret passage of the lord of Bay City to the eyes of the guards around him.

This is not to say that he can trust the guards 100% and can expose the hole cards that affect his family's life, but his own reasons. For him, the existence of the lord's secret passage was of no use at all.

Because he can't be like most of the lords of the stars, basically live in the castle all his life, and treat the castle as a part of himself.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the other is that he has decided to move from the castle in Bay City, although it looks magnificent, but in fact, the castle is not very comfortable to live in, damp and dark, and there are a lot of bugs.

He has already roughly planned for the move, and when he is busy with this time, he will consider the new residential location, so it doesn't matter if the secret passage is not exposed.

It's just that for him, he doesn't care much about the exposure of the secret passage, but for the secret passage of the lord of Reef City, Alan feels that his father Tylen should still value it very much, so now if he wants to enter the city through that secret passage, it is estimated that there will be some trouble.

But it's just some trouble, Alan doesn't care much about Taryn's opinion of himself, and he doesn't care much about what kind of reprimand he will provoke if he exposes his escape route, this problem is just in his mind, and he is thrown somewhere else.

Because of the historical legacy of his childhood, Alan even worked against Tylen for a while, even if he was miserable by the treacherous and cunning Earl, he still "enjoyed it", and it was only in the last two years that he relented.

So for the next "cheating father" move, he did it with peace of mind, and there was no psychological barrier at all.

And Taryn's backhand doesn't stop there.

He was still self-aware of his father. It is impossible for a scheming Earl to tell anyone else, even his relatives, that he is convinced.

He once said that he trusted his sons to keep secrets for themselves, but he believed in his enemies even more.

......

The guards didn't know what was going on, so they followed Alan for half a day's journey, and finally went around the woods to the other side of the meadow.

As the direction changed, the black soil under their feet gradually turned into a hard rock, and the woods and meadows behind them could not spread at all, compared to the previous wind and sunshine, the wind here was much stronger, because they had reached the shoreline.

The sea in front of them was endless, the sound of the waves was turbulent, and the sound of the wind was blowing around the group, which was a little cold.

At this time, without the shelter of the high slope, Alan and his party could vaguely see the existence of Reef City from a distance, and just as they guessed, Reef City at this time was already surrounded by orcs!

The dense brown and black dots weighed heavily on the guards' hearts, and compared to Bay City, Reef City was their true home. Although he followed Alan to the bay to take up a post, the relatives and friends of the guards are basically still living in Reef City!

"I hope there won't be any accidents in the city!"

The guards looked in the direction of Reef City with some worry, and Alan actually wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say about it, so he didn't say anything in the end.

"It's true to go into town early. ”

Thinking like this, Alan couldn't help but speed up his pace.

In front of them was a seaside cliff, and the group came to the edge of the cliff, and then, at the suggestion of Allen, they used some vines that had been collected long ago to weave a rope, tied one end to a hard rock on the cliff, and threw the other end to the bottom of the cliff.

Alan took the lead and followed the rope to the bottom of the cliff, and then, despite the ups and downs of the cold water that spread to his waist, he lay down on the water and walked to the bottom of the cliff, and reached into the sea with both hands and groped.

There is a reef at their feet, and the guards are still a little uncomfortable coming here one by one along the ropes, stepping on the stones under the sea water and staggering, but living in a seaside city, they generally know water, and it didn't take long to basically adapt to the situation in front of them.

Then I watched Alan groping at the base of the cliff, and nothing else happened for half a day.

Alan was a little embarrassed by this.

Although he knew the existence of this secret passage, Alan had never used it, so much so that he didn't even find the switch to open the secret passage for a while!

However, the guards behind him did not urge, although they were quite anxious, but the secret passage in front of them, which was not clear to others, faintly made them guess something.

The guards weren't stupid, and they weren't surprised by the presence of something, but what was surprising was that Alan didn't shy away from them.

In this regard, the guards were anxious, but they still had a strange feeling in their hearts.

The head of the guard, Kyle, took a deep breath and said to the others in a deep voice: "When this matter is over, I will take Xiao Duo and them to Bay City, which will be more convenient." ”

The other guards nodded. Although it was not to the point of being moved, the gaze that looked at Alan had faintly become different from before.

Before, they were just following Eren on Tyron's orders, but now...

"If it's the Earl, might you let us know about this life-saving place?"

The thought crossed the minds of all the guards.

The guards sighed and were grateful, but Alan didn't notice the changes in the guards' mood at this time, and he basically didn't have time to care about it at this time, his hands were stretched into the seawater, and he was groping for something carefully.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and as he continued to explore, an iron object embedded in the rock was touched by him!

Feels like a ring?

This thought flashed through Allen's mind, and without much hesitation, he pulled hard with his right hand that went deep into the seawater!

"Click!"

A crisp sound appeared as if something had broken. This was followed by a low, faint roar.

Just like those costume TV dramas in the previous life, the entrance to the secret passage slowly opened with a constant roar, revealing the dark passage inside.

Seeing this, Alan wiped the beads of sweat that didn't exist on his face, turned around and greeted the guards, and then stepped into the secret passage.

It's just that before he could take a few more steps, a straight figure suddenly appeared in their eyes!
