Chapter 026: Leading the Charge
"Everyone, do your best! Our little guards are probably guarding a lot of treasure waiting for us to move. ”
The pirates who had been incorporated into the cannon fodder unit were enthusiastic, and at the same time raised their scimitars in their hands and let out a wild scream, and ran faster and faster like wild dogs.
Breaking through three symbolic lines of resistance, the pirates roared and broke into the Fawkes family, the howls of ghosts and wolves and the clamor of shouts.
Obviously, although the two male masters of the Fox family were angry, they did not withdraw all the guards, and at least nearly thirty percent of the guards were left in the castle.
The pirates, who had already equated their wealth with their own pockets, naturally did not want to retreat at this time, so they were doomed to have the contradictions between the two sides unable to resolve them, and a tragic battle began.
But don't forget, behind the butts of this group of pirates, there are more than seventy hungry wolves who are gearing up, their eyes are glowing green, and their hands are trembling with excitement!
More than seventy adventurers attacked at the same time, how could more than one hundred castle guards be able to resist?
With Lao Huang as the blade, like a bloodthirsty dagger carved from fangs, the adventurer team instantly tore apart the guards' defense line, like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, shattering at the slightest touch!
The castle guards, who were originally estimated to hold out enough until the two nobles returned, were torn to pieces by the combined team of adventurers and pirates who were superior in numbers in just two minutes, leaving only bloody corpses on the ground
When the pirates arrived at the treasure storage room built in the backyard on the mountain, they felt that the majestic and magnificent castle cave was dark and full of dead silence, as if it had been abandoned for hundreds of years, and all that remained was bleak ghosts, cobwebs and dust, and the brilliant lights seen in the past seemed to be just a fantasy. As dark as the mouth of a giant beast, waiting for the prey to be delivered.
In the face of such a strange situation, all the pirates fell silent, only the "crackling" sound of the torches burning could be heard clearly, the pirates looked at me and I looked at you, and some of the timid people's faces changed slightly. In their imagination, it was either heavily guarded or chaotic, but such a strange scene was completely unexpected.
Seeing this situation, the adventurers also looked stern, the previous layout of the ambush did not have high requirements for force, more conspiracy frame-making, ambush calculations, but the master obviously could not let the soldiers pick peaches without blood, and the master's usual character, this last moment a vicious battle is absolutely unavoidable.
And the source of this danger is probably the unstable dìng factor from Orochimaru
At this point, neither the adventurers nor the pirates are willing to back down, even if there is a Longtan tiger's den in front of them, they will inevitably break through.
Lao Huang, who was quite influential among pirates, then divided everyone into six groups of people composed of a mixture of adventurers and pirates, and the small action group also had at least twenty or more people. Each group is arranged with melee sword and shield hands, and long-range fire wood cangs, which are also quite reasonable and unscrupulous. Then he continued to tempt the hesitant retreaters with the wealth inside, and finally rushed into the treasure room with a torch in his hand.
Since Lao Huang put on a high posture of "rush with me" instead of "rush for me", the powerful guys in the other adventurer teams were not too embarrassed to stay behind, and entered the treasure room with the manpower assigned to them.
Seeing that the leaders are all taking the lead and taking the lead in the charge, what else do those pirates who were originally outlaws have to say? In addition, the torch in his hand also gave people a lot of courage, so they also rushed in with a roar.
It must be mentioned that although the big merchant Amstro is a member of the merchant alliance, he can only be regarded as a middle-of-the-line character, and the most guarded treasure room of the Fox family naturally has no chance to see it, and adventurers have to explore and discover it on their own.
According to the prior distribution, each team of centaurs will be divided into a group to explore when they encounter a fork in the road, and soon, opened up in the belly of the mountain, the huge treasure cave will divide and swallow these six groups of adventurers
After being dispersed into a squad as a unit of action, Lin Xiao acted quite low-key this time, following the team silently. The leader is still Lao Huang, who is holding a torch first, but he also looks very leisurely, as if he believes that the surrounding environment is very safe, and he looks defenseless.
And Lao Huang's prestige among pirates at this time is not low, and a pair of pirates naturally follow him without a word, occasionally talking a few words during the journey, and the rest of the time there is a silent sense of strictness.
The furnishings in this treasure cave built on the belly of the mountain are quite gorgeous, and under the light of the fire, the camel hair carpet is trampled on, and the delicate patterns woven on it are very pleasant to the touch, which makes these pirates have a feeling of opening their eyes. But the light and valuable things, such as gold candlesticks and silver cutlery, were gone, apparently hidden by their owners in advance.
Suddenly, one of the pirates in front of him stopped, and his hand pressed the hilt of the knife on his waist, and he turned back and said hurriedly:
"Be careful, it smells of blood!"
Everyone immediately took a few deep breaths, and sure enough, they noticed that there was a faint smell of blood in the air, which was undoubtedly a rather familiar smell to these murderous outlaws.
The situation suddenly became tense, and many of the pirates drew their weapons, but Lao Huang brought the torches close to the ground, and felt a string of unrecognizable light brown blood on the thick, fluffy carpet, and followed the path of the blood, and they came to an abrupt end in front of a seemingly solid granite wall.
"It's a secret way!" One of the pirates' voices trembled with excitement. This series of blood stains turned around and broke in front of this wall, which seemed very abrupt...... The injured guy can't be steamed all of a sudden, right? The only explanation is naturally to escape into the dark passage, without this bloodstain as a guide, who would have thought that there is a secret passage behind this integrated hard stone wall?
After having clues, these pirates began to look everywhere, and among these old fritters there were naturally experts who were good at this way, and they found a small handle under the carpet, and the two pirates spent their strength to pull it, and immediately there was a dry sound of a large number of heavy iron chains colliding in the wall, and then the granite wall roared and slowly rose, revealing a dark secret passage.
In the light of the fire, the things scattered on the floor of the secret passage emitted a striking and lovely light. All the pirates' breathing was heavy, and glittering gold coins, fine cutlery, and skin-smooth silk were scattered in the secret passages, and it seemed that they were the result of the rush to carry the guide. There is no doubt that these pirates are roaring greedily in their throats, and they are about to burrow into the secret passages.
But after the first three pirates pounced on it, a huge axe that glowed with blood fell from the sky and stood in front of everyone.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, these pirates still think that Lao Huang wants to take the treasure in the secret passage for himself, and his eyes immediately turn red.
But I heard Lao Huang's angry shouting echoing in the corridor:
"Bunnies! Keep your dog's eyes open and see what's inside! ”
As he spoke, he threw the torch in his hand vigorously, and the firelight cut through the darkness, exposing the three corpses lying on the ground with black and purple bodies lying on the ground and convulsing in front of everyone!
"A bunch of idiots! It's a trap! There is no wealth in it at all, it is all vicious poisonous insects and beasts! ”
The pirates blinked and looked out, and in addition to the three corpses, a dense mass of black scorpions and poisonous snakes crawled out of the cracks in the walls, and the treasures on the ground had disappeared without a trace. Suddenly he hung his head and became depressed. was slapped on the head by Lao Huang, and continued to search inside.
Cannon fodder or something, you can't just waste it.
Before entering, the adventurer realized that the treasure room must be the Longtan Tiger's Den, and every step was in danger.
For example, the secret trap just now, even Lao Huang can see through it at a glance, and he can deceive these tattered pirates who will forget who their relatives and mothers are when they see the treasure.
Because after a good hunter has set up an ambush, he must wait for all the prey to be baited. It will not startle the snake because a prey enters the net in advance. As soon as Lao Huang saw the secret passage that was "coincidentally" discovered, he immediately realized that it was a trap, and the person who set the trap cleverly took advantage of the pirates' greed and competition to trick them in.
As soon as they see the treasure, the IQ will be infinitely close to the negative number, and the pirates will naturally rush in with red eyes, which is really crazier than the bulls in the Colosseum, and they will definitely not be able to pull it.
So Lao Huang immediately made a decision, put in three unlucky eggs, and woke up this group of red-eyed cannon fodder with a bloody "lesson from the past". It's brutal and bloody, but it's extremely effective, isn't it?
