Chapter 401
Xia Dong, who was entangled in his heart, sat quietly in the dark corner.
Along with his inner struggle, the momentum of depression, dreary and at the same time full of danger and despair continued to spread, so that the colaters who were celebrating in the barracks could not help but tremble, although they did not know what was going on, but they inexplicably had a feeling, as if an extremely terrifying existence was about to awaken, and once this monster woke up, it would engulf itself, the entire fortress, and even the entire world.
Just when Xia Dong's speed of pouring wine was getting faster and faster, his eyes suddenly froze, huh?
I saw that there was an open space above the city gate in front of me, and on weekdays, this kind of heavy land would definitely not be less than dozens of people guarding, how could it suddenly be gone, even if it was a change of guard, it wouldn't be so thorough, right?
In the blink of an eye, the dozens of guards who suddenly reappeared made him can't help but doubt what he had just seen, and narrowed his eyes carefully, his already extremely sharp vision under the superordinarily powerful headband bonus immediately played a role, and the figures of those soldiers who stood extremely far away immediately enlarged in their pupils, and even the iron scales of the gray armor on their bodies were clearly visible.
After staring for a long time, Xia Dong, who didn't find anything abnormal, shook his head self-deprecatingly, retracted his gaze, shook the wine bottle in his hand, and then poured a big mouthful.
It seems that I have indeed drunk too much and have hallucinations, but why am I already drunk or can't I forget these?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but drink the wine in the bottle in one go, feeling the dizziness rising in his brain, as well as some sluggish thinking, Xia Dong smiled lightly, reached out and opened a bottle of wine again and poured it into his mouth, Viscount Calle valued him very much, enough to let people move two large boxes of good wine and many delicacies.
For a long time, Xia Dong, who didn't know how much he had drunk, seemed to hear a scream in a trance.
"In your dreams, won't you let me go?" After muttering something muttered in a muffled voice, he opened his eyes and waved his right hand a few times in all directions, as if trying to get something away.
Adjusting his posture and leaning against the stone pillar in the hallway, he closed his eyes again, trying to continue sleeping, but after a few moments, he suddenly reopened his eyes and looked sideways into the distance in surprise, where the towering black gates that should have been closed were actually opened!
Moreover, under the faint light of the stars, countless soldiers in armor and full armor were pouring in, and the weapons and armor styles in their hands could prove that they were from the army of the Calester Kingdom, as Xia Dong, who had fought them head-to-head three times, certainly knew this very well.
This? How can it be?
Xia Dong looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, extremely surprised and mixed with a large amount of alcohol, which made him a little sluggish.
A distant fortress is about to fall?
Is it the business of the hell that it falls or not? Anyway, I have already atoned for my sins three times, and even if I am guilty, I will be forgiven!
No, isn't this situation about to affect the pond fish? I killed so many of them, could it be that they could also forgive themselves?
No, you have to act quickly, you have to escape!
Thinking of this, Xia Dong immediately stood up, and at the same time reached out and held the long sword leaning next to him, this is his trophy today, from the noble knight he killed, the quality of the weapon issued by the atonement camp is much better, although this sword is obviously worth a lot of money, but no one in the entire fortress came to ask him to hand it over.
Hiding his body in the shadows, he carefully observed, the division of labor of these Calester troops is very clear, some directly control the city gate, some enter the first floor to sneak attack the garrison soldiers, and some directly go to the second and third floors, and even the dungeon has a special team to enter, because the atonement camp where he is is located is in the most remote and dirty corner, so it has not been targeted by the other party for a while.
It's strange, it's already this time, why hasn't anyone reacted to the entire fortress yet? Are these guys all pigs? If no one warns them, the Calestrians will probably be in control soon!
However, Xia Dong didn't dare to be this bird, if he disrupted the other party's plan, maybe the army of the Fairmont Kingdom could indeed react, so that the other party's losses increased and even possibly held the fortress, but in this way, he was very likely to become the object of the other party's anger, but he was at the bottom, surrounded by others.
His heart was full of longing to kill, but not yet, to die.
"Enemy, ah......" A loud scream finally broke the strange atmosphere, and the army that was celebrating enthusiastically immediately reacted, and they rushed out of the room with their weapons in their hands, and the sound of footsteps, shouts of killing, sword clashing, and screams broke out in an instant, making the distant fortress that had been silent a moment ago seem to suddenly fall into another time and space.
Listening to the noise around him, Xia Dong was about to leave with his sword, he definitely couldn't stay here any longer, there must be enemies outside the city gate, and only by going to the upper floor could there be a glimmer of life, but when he passed the barracks full of redeemers, he suddenly stopped, looked at the people inside, and finally his eyes fell on the handsome man who had asked him to help him bring a message, "The Calests have invaded, run for your life!" ”
After speaking, ignoring the shocked and surprised expressions of everyone inside, he directly accelerated away, and this was all he could do.
As soon as he turned the corner, an unfamiliar face came into view, looking at the Calest-style armor on the other party's body, Xia Dong did not hesitate, raised his hand and stabbed it with a sword, and the face that had just emerged with surprise immediately fell backwards with pain.
Drawing out the long sword, Xia Dong's waist twisted, his steps were staggered, his body had already turned in a circle, and at the same time, he brought a horizontal sword light, and directly cut off the heads of the three soldiers behind, due to the different heights and shortness, the head of the shortest soldier was directly cut in half.
But Xia Dong's movements did not stop, with the force of spiral rotation, his body continued to take a diagonal step, and then he reached out and stabbed, piercing the forehead of the fifth soldier, and at the same time, he took out his left hand, and the silver light flew out, and the soldier who fell at the end of the team fell softly with the dagger at the door of his head.
Xia Dong, who solved the team in an instant, sank slightly, it seems that the other party has noticed this, and he may be able to escape, but those guys in the back are ......
Shaking his head, he didn't think about it, he tried to keep his steps light, silently and quickly, in this fortress for several months, the terrain of the lower floors had already been basically familiar, there were several roads from the camp of atonement to the second floor, among which the shortest path was also the most dangerous option, that is, to go directly from the square in front of the city gate, and the safest should be from the wooden ladder behind the stables.
Thinking of this, Xia Dong immediately changed direction and walked towards the stable, he couldn't think too much about the alcohol, completely forgetting that the stable at this time was a battleground, and the thousands of strong house beasts in it alone would definitely let the Caleste side send heavy troops to seize it.
The value of the House Beast that can be used as a heavy cavalry mount is very staggering, and if the knights of the distant fortress are allowed to retrieve the mounts, the group may be able to violently open the blockade when they charge, so as to escape the fortress and report to the outside world!
