One hundred and fifty-sixth Sula blockade
The sound of the horn was terrible and piercing, resounding through the four fields.
Muhadi rushed out of the house, and now there was chaos outside, and the soldiers were running back and forth, shouting orders. Behind him, Fahd and Udai also ran out of the house, and some others rushed out of the building. It's not all soldiers, they look like travelers or something. When some people rushed out, their clothes were not yet dressed, so they could only hold on to the top edge of their robes with their hands to prevent them from falling.
There was chaos all around, and no one knew what was going on. A creaking sound came from the other side of the fence, and it was the soldiers who had lowered the iron gate at the gate. Someone lit firewood and emitted black smoke to inform distant scouts that the battle was going on. []
Everyone was asking each other, "What the hell is going on?" and Muhadi grabbed a soldier who was able to run by, trying to understand. Who knew that the man couldn't say anything useful after a long time, and his mind was even more chaotic, so people didn't want to search.
"Let's go up to the fence and see what's going on!" Muhati had to shout at the top of his voice to the two men around him, as he was surrounded by a noisy crowd.
"That's what I mean!" Fahd called back, and the three of them struggled to get to the nearest part of the fence where a ladder had been erected. The soldiers guarding the ladder did not know whether to stop the three men or not, and then al-Muhadi used a bit of hinting to make the soldiers think that he had an important task and had to go up to the wall immediately.
"I don't think the reaction of the average person should be to hear that there is danger and hide away, why do we run up there to see what's going on?" asked Udai.
"He's not an ordinary person. Don't you realize that our human friends like to hear where danger is and run over it, rather than running away?" Fahd preemptively said, "Some people are either great or ruined, it's their nature. ”
"If you don't feel pain, it's easy for you to develop the same way of thinking as I do. Muhadi replied half-truthfully, "Let my master Lyra also teach you the nature of suffering, so that you will be able to brave hardships and dangers in the future." ”
When he first entered, most of the soldiers on the walls were gladiators, muscular, wearing simple leather aprons and leather armor. Now in addition to these soldiers, there are many more black-robed and masked guys on the wall, Muhati sensed with his heart, these people don't seem to be revolutionaries, and many of them can't isolate psionic sense.
Standing here and looking out, there doesn't seem to be any sign of the enemy. There was no dust in the desert, no magic carpet flying in the air, no calm on the distant horizon, not a man or a horse.
"Look, what's going on at the gate?" Udai stretched out her hand, and Muhati looked in the direction, and sure enough, a lot of people had gathered at the gate, divided into two groups of confrontation. It seems that quite a few people in the iron mine wanted to get out, but the soldiers blocked the gate and prevented anyone from getting through.
Angry adventurers shouted around the door, as if they could hear "...... I don't want to die with you......!" Let us go!". And the soldiers, forming a firm human wall, were not moved in the slightest. The guys trapped here also seemed to know how to measure, and they didn't dare to take their weapons out and do it seriously, so they stalemate.
Perhaps two men and a woman were too conspicuous on the wall, and soon the soldier named Nadal climbed the wall as well. He rushed to Muhati and hurriedly said, "Lord Cotander and Rikas have summoned you to discuss the military situation, we have a shocking situation. ”
"I guess that means I'm going to stay here for a while," the boy replied to Nadal, "and what about my two friends?
"Your friends can go back to their rooms to rest, but we can't let anyone leave during this time. Nadal said it politely, but there was no compromise in his eyes.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Muhathir asked.
"The two adults can answer your question very well, I'm just a soldier, I don't know a lot of inside information, so I don't want to say more. Nadal tactfully refused.
"Okay, then you lead the way. The boy shrugged helplessly at Fahd and Udai, and then followed Nadal to a staggering climb down the stairs. Nadal prepared two horses underneath, and after getting on them, the soldiers galloped within the walls without saying a word, and Muhadi desperately followed. The iron mine is backed by a mountain range, and the side facing the flat ground is surrounded by a wall, and the interior space is not large, and there are still many people at this time. But Nadal seemed to be in a hurry, galloping and almost bumping into others several times.
Within a few steps, the two of them rode to the entrance to the main mine. The iron mine was so large that there were several entrances to the ground, but the main tunnel was the largest and widest, and its entrance was more than two people tall and thirty feet wide, like the mouth of a giant beast. For countless centuries, I don't know how many miners have been devoured into it.
"Follow me!" Nadal shouted, rushing straight into the shaft.
The shaft is not particularly dark because of the fluorescent moss, and after the shallow ore has been mined, the passage here has been cleared, and many rooms have been dug out on both sides for living. The two of them ran in the shaft, and the miners and soldiers they met along the way saw that someone rushed in, and they all hurriedly leaned aside.
Riding to a bend in the hoistway, Nadal said "It's here!" before the two dismounted.
The crunching of hinges can be heard here, and a human-operated elevator is nearby. Nadal saluted like a soldier operating the lift, and then led the boy to stand on the lift.
The manpower lift operated swayingly, fast and slow, after descending dozens of feet. Muhadi himself was now in a simple room, surrounded by walls carved out of the topography, with a torch inserted into an iron ring in the wall to act as a source of light. The room has three doorless exits, all of which appear to lead to deeper shafts.
An old man with a white beard stood in the room, and next to him was Ricas. The latter gave a friendly look to Muhadi when he saw him coming. The white-bearded old man seemed to try to nod, but he immediately coughed violently, and his body was rickety, and Rikas stretched out a hand to help the old man, but there was nothing he could do about it.
This old man must be the first division of Cotande, but he looks much older than Muhathir thought. He had age spots on his neck and cheeks, and the skin on his throat was loose and wrinkled. His eyes were also cloudy, with yellow debris in the corners of his eyes, and an old man's smell was emanated. Master Cotander coughed for a few moments, a white snot coming out of his nose, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped it away.
Is this the consequence of a long period of use of magic?, Muhati thought, no wonder most mages have fallen into blasphemers. The price to pay for the Guardian Mage is too great.
The health of the man in front of him was almost completely destroyed, but he had strength, and the full power flowed out of the broken body, detected by the young man's psionic senses. Although Cotander looks like he may fall down at any time and never wake up, as long as he is not dead, he is a ** teacher whose thoughts can take the lives of thousands of people.
It took a while for Cotander's cough to subside, and he put away his handkerchief with a trembling hand. looked at Muhati seriously for a long time, but didn't say a word.
The atmosphere was a little weird, and Muhathir had to say, "Excuse me......"
"It was indeed him. Cotander spoke, coughed twice, and continued. "I sensed his psionic ability trying to probe my thoughts, which could not be faked. ”
Being told about his psionic detection, Muhadi was not embarrassed. "It's every psychic man's instinct, and I don't mean to ...... it"
Cotander raised a hand and shook his head. "You don't have to explain anything, I know some of the habits of psychic manilocks. When I was younger......" he coughed again.
"Anyway, I just made sure you weren't really Captain Muhadi. You've proven it perfectly. The teacher said.
"Why?" Muhadi did not understand, "did you just suspect that I was a fake?"
"We have to," Rikas said, taking a half-step forward, "and we have to wonder who everyone here really is." That's why we're going to close the gates and forbid anyone to come in or out. ”
"Who can make a ** master and a hero of Tyr helpless?" the boy asked.
"An old rival of yours, so we're looking for you. Rikas replied sternly, "Less than an hourglass ago, our current men broke into this room and stole an important secret document from the camera obscura. The few guards who remained here were killed, with a brutal and swift approach, without any alarm, and magic could not locate the assassin. If he were to hand over those Wen Jiàn to the Witch King's coalition army, Tyr would face a great disadvantage. ”
"He left only one line of comment on the corpse, which I think you must be familiar with. ”
"'I'm sorry. ’”
