Chapter 15: Inside the Pit

Soon a few archers quickly rushed to the bottom of the city walls, pulled the bowstring, and shot a dense round of arrows towards the city.

Under the rain of arrows, the crows with a leisurely face fluttered their wings in panic, but the crows did not seem to have any intention of leaving the city, and they swept over everyone's heads and flew towards the west of the city of Carlin Bay.

Lynn's face was extremely difficult to see, and he looked at his left and right subordinates, and the thin monkey beside him understood, and his fingers whistled in his mouth, and then he stepped on a horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and flew out of the camp.

Seeing the crows flying in front, the thin monkey led people to chase behind, those crows flew slowly, it was already evening, there were no residents in the city of Carlin Bay, the road along the way was dim, and the thin monkey also deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse, just far behind.

Bypassing several ruined stone walls in Kalin Bay, following this group of crows around in the chaotic West City, about ten minutes later, the thin monkey suddenly grabbed the reins, the horse roared, and a deep pit appeared in front of him, the pit is a collapsed ancient building, the pit is surrounded by pouring bluestone slabs, and some of the slabs are engraved with some carvings that look quite jerky and ancient altars.

The thin monkey looked left and right, and saw no trace of the crows, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the edge of the pit, where he heard a faint crow of crows, which came into his ears from the darkness at the bottom of the pit.

Those abominable crows must have just fallen into this sinkhole.

The thin monkey turned his head and shouted to the cavalry of the Guards Regiment on the war horse behind him, "Go and inform the lord of one person, and the others will dismount and search around." ”

"Yes!"

Carlin Bay was once a massive fortress with twenty towers and basalt walls as tall as Winterfell.

It had been the key to the defense of the north, and had wiped out countless attacks by the Andals.

Today, however, the walls have completely disappeared, the wooden fort has decayed and decayed thousands of years ago, and only three of the 20 towers remain.

The three remaining towers control the only causeway to the north from three sides.

Lynn led hundreds of soldiers of the Carlin Bay garrison to the collapse, and watched as the skinny monkey not far away was looking down at a huge sinkhole in front of him, and fifty meters away from the sinkhole, a broken towering rock tower, covered with moss, stood tall.

"My lord, this is it, the crows have entered this underground collapse, if there is no underground river in this sinkhole, they will not be able to escape. ”

The thin monkey stepped forward and told the results of his investigation.

Lynn nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed to the tall, thin and slender broken stone tower not far away, with half of the spire missing, and asked De Bruyne, the commander of Carlin Bay who was wearing armor and serving on the side, "What is that remnant tower called?"

De Bruyne, who followed up, hurriedly said: "Tower of the Children of the Forest, my lord." ”

Oh?, Lynn frowned, legend has it that the Children of the Forest once called out to the Old Gods from this tower, and through the power of the Old Gods, they created huge waves that crashed into the southern Neck, and finally waterlogged the Necks into a muddy swamp.

"Sterling. ”

"The subordinates are here!"

Lynn said: "Bring dozens of people with quick hands and feet to go down to find out the situation." Prepare ropes, bamboo ladders, more torches and arrows that can ignite fire, let the soldiers put on armor and tie ropes to walk through the sinkhole, and at the same time, De Bruyne, you have the nearby garrison thoroughly search the four places above the sinkhole, let the soldiers set up bonfires, bow and crossbow strings, and get ready for battle, I always think this underground is a little strange. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes!"

The thin monkey was ordered to select men, prepare armor and ropes, bamboo ladders, and weapons, and take advantage of this stall, De Bruyne also went to personally arrange his men to thoroughly search the surrounding area of the sinkhole.

The soldiers in full armor climbed onto the improvised hanging baskets, these armors were all steel armor, even the eyes were covered under the visor, and the whole person was like a moving fortress, the only fifty heavily armored infantry armor in the garrison of Carlin Bay.

Slowly lower on the hanging basket.

A bonfire was lit above, and several lit torches were thrown into the sinkhole to try to illuminate the space at the bottom of the collapse, and after a short time, there was the sound of torches falling to the ground, and these torches soaked in wild boar oil fell to the ground and splashed countless sparks, shining a bright light underground.

However, the height is too deep, and the bottom below cannot be seen clearly.

Lynn silently watched the busy scene of the soldiers, and suddenly felt that his vision was a little trance.

With the blink of his eyes, he found a huge pit rising from the bottom of a huge pit in front of him with a rushing red light.

At this moment, when he arrived at the bottom of the pit, he was landing next to a crackling torch that had fallen to the ground, and looked at the scene in front of him with a surprised expression.

Beside him, the hoplites with long swords in their hands and heavy crossbows on their backs slowly descended from their mid-air gondolas and gathered around him.

Fish beams in the underworld?

The thin monkey looked at the huge Fish Beam Tree in front of him with flaming red branches and leaves in the light of the fire, this tree was different from the scorched Fish Beam Tree that could be seen everywhere on the road, it grew extremely luxuriantly. The red tree poles, bright yellow branches and leaves, and the corners of the robe are faintly revealed between the leaves, which makes people feel awe-inspired.

Quack!

A few crows of crows surprised the thin monkey from his trance, and he raised his torch and walked to the foot of the big tree, where the firelight illuminated the treetops, and saw crows scurrying around and something resembling a crow's nest.

The trunk of the big tree was carved into a huge miserable white face, with a hideous face, a nose and mouth, and deep-set eyes.

The gaze slowly moves downward.

The thin monkey suddenly saw the huge roots of the tree protruding from the ground in the center, and two familiar burlap bags were quietly placed there.

The thin monkey realized that something was wrong, and yelled at the two heavy infantry behind him, "Go over and see if it's something missing in the barracks." ”

Several soldiers exchanged glances, drew their swords from their sheaths, and the sound of several long swords unsheathed in unison rang out.

The other soldiers also drew their crossbows and guarded the surroundings.

After a while, the soldier who had gone to investigate turned his head and shouted, "Lord Stirling, it's indeed something missing, these damn flat-haired beasts, they really stole it." ”

The thin monkey followed the prestige, suddenly shrank his eyes, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Be careful!"

"Overhead!"

What the?

The three soldiers stood in Yuliangmu and heard the reminder of the thin monkey, and subconsciously turned their heads.

I saw the fish beam wood behind me, I don't know the right white light, and from a distance, it seems that the flow of a bright moon has gathered together, shining.

And on the body of the tree that radiated radiance, five or six feet above the ground, suddenly poked out a huge jagged mouth, the mouth was very large, like a dark cave that devoured everything, the three of them had not fully reacted, only to see the jagged wide mouth, suddenly burst out of the dense branches and leaves, after a wave of leaves, three figures in heavy armor, disappeared from the sight of everyone in the distance.
