Chapter 0078: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada
The tunnels are dark, narrow, and somewhat stuffy.
Crawl forward slowly, you can't be fast, the pretty face that is carefully maintained every day will hit the ass of the person in front, you can't be slow, and the tip of the big sword sheath in the back will poke the ass that only a lover can touch.
Therefore, if you choose to come in, you can't stop, you can only move forward, forward, and forward.
This is a one-way passage to victory, or also to defeat, and possibly even to death, and you will know when you climb to the end.
Fortunately, the trustworthy Qiao Ge led the way in front, thinking of this, she should also make her companions feel a little at ease.
The limbs are pulled, and the tunnel continues to extend. The smell of fresh earth, like that dug out with a shovel, is measured by the number of crawling steps, and the location is already in the city, just underground.
As a knight, she generally prefers to rush to the wall rather than drill into the tunnel.
After all, the number of knights is limited, and the ordinary manpower is more, so in the end, more brothers were put into shoveling the soil, but they dug for more than ten days at the risk of rolling wood and stones at the head of the city, but it had no effect, and countless brothers sweated and bled and even a few lost their lives and did not dig and collapse the city wall.
Today, a tunnel was suddenly pierced.
Don't ask how to pierce it, don't know, no one knows.
Or maybe only the young man knows.
The merchant brought by Qiao Ge came to the base of the wall and touched it, and said "It's okay", and the door that others had tried countless times could not open, it seemed that he only said one sentence to open the sesame door, and the door was open.
With a wave of his hand, Jogo took the lead in drilling the black hole, followed by the young merchant, followed by the two knights he had brought, and then everyone rushed in and climbed forward.
Just as she was thinking about how far she had to climb, the person in front of her disappeared, and instead, someone stretched out a hand, she handed it over, and the person was pulled out.
There was a moon hanging in the sky, a layer of silver frost on the ground, rows of rooms, faintly the smell of burning torches after grease, but there was no one around, no lights, a few cat meows, and a few kittens in the distance jumped on the ridge, their eyes casting a long green light.
Standing there alone, for a long time, her head suddenly deviated, and she didn't know where to look, but the people behind came up and pushed her, and then followed the force and hid under the wall.
That's when she suddenly woke up, this is the city, and she has entered the city.
The tunnel?
It's magic!
Look straight through the corner.
In the starlight, Jogo was there, but the young man and his two knights were gone.
By the way, remember, Elwin, he introduced himself, and his impression of him stopped at blocking Jeff's punch, and he almost didn't even remember that Jogo said he knew a little bit about magic.
When everyone was leaning against the corner, she suddenly thought, why is it so quiet? As a soldier leader, she has received similar training, and her heart immediately becomes alert.
Is there a curfew because of the war?
But why are there no patrols?
It's so quiet!
Wrong!
It should be right!
was a little unconvinced by the crow's mouth, but what should be done was still to be done, she stood up and said to Qiao Ge: "Come here, we should really be ambushed." ”
This sentence did not lower the voice, the volume was not loud or small, but it came far away in the silent night, as if I met an acquaintance on the road and said hello, "Come here, I'm here." ”
"Should you? Miss Maeve can't be confident and say aloud: "Ambushed?"
"Subsidence, a siege weapon. The man muttered, and the dead silence around him made his voice so loud that everyone who came in could hear him clearly.
"However, I have the art of earthen walls, and I have the magic weapon to defend the city. The voice seemed to be cheerful, probably due to the fact that magic had gained the upper hand.
Jogo and Maeve's faces darkened at the same time.
Earthen Wall!
Enchanter!
They immediately understood why the tunnels had been dug up the other day and the next day they were solid as if they had never been touched, and why the walls could not be dug down no matter how hard they tried.
It turned out that there was a mason who was tinkering with it.
Everyone showed their weapons and stood up.
With his back against the wall, shoulder to shoulder, the sea breeze whimpered, the bright moon hung high, chirping insects, and the surroundings were still eerily quiet, and there was no one in sight.
The enemy is hiding in the shadows, but they just need a code to rush out together, and it is also an arrow, a torch, and a broken gong.
They are just waiting for their time.
"Phalanx!" she commanded, "the great sword in front, the crossbowman in the back." ”
Coming to this point, forward and backward, there is no choice, surrender at this time, can only catch a brother in prison, lucky, can only be a slave for life, and this life is likely not long......; Where did he go...... What are you doing......
She looked around, didn't notice, and glanced at Qiao Go, his hand making a void press motion in the air, meaning, please don't panic.
"Go to the open and don't get trapped. ”
It is widely recognized that walls are naturally used to create obstacles.
The procession moved sparsely, the long street was as wide as a small square, and everyone formed a battle formation, and became bolder.
The next moment, there was a loud bang, the ground shattered abruptly under the feet, and a two-person high cross wall burst out of the middle of the crowd, splitting the team in half.
Exclamations, firelight, crossbow strings, screams came from the walls, several people who were on top fell down, several arrows pierced out of the chest, fear began to drift away with the thick smell of blood, the brother who was still alive and well a moment ago, this is a dead body.
"Don't panic, the wall can only create obstacles, not kill, to destroy us or rely on big swords and spears, everyone in groups of three, back to back, spread out, take care of each other. ”
The clanging of swords unsheathed, the grinding of armor, footsteps, and orders on the periphery of the wall also resounded. Maeve shouted the order for the chaotic rebels to regroup, and Jogo on this side of the wall moved as he said, and at the same time, he wondered, why didn't Alvin do it yet, what was he waiting for at this time?
When Jogor pulled out the last man, Alvin had been sitting in the dark in the auxiliary pit on the side for a long time.
The ability to dig tunnels is comparable to that of the infrastructure maniac's shield machine, and it is silent, so when the territory is built in the future, it should be able to dig tunnels and open roads.
His noble legs crouched in the cramped space and couldn't stand it, so he simply sat on the ground with his butt and listened to the sound outside with the two guards.
There is always a hand to be prepared for everything, especially the high-risk action of sneak attack, only a madman like Qiao Ge who does not want to die, rushes forward desperately, and Alwin's life is very expensive, and he would rather stay until the end to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
This offense is too easy to predict.
The food is only enough to last for two days, and if you don't take advantage of the night when you are full, you will have to fight hard tomorrow with an empty stomach.
The time point is the darkest moment before the dawn that everyone can easily choose, that is, Maeve and Jogo's choice, that time, ambush pirates, he also chose this darkest moment.
He explained to Qiao Ge, and the big man looked at his eyes for a moment, and said, "So...... Need to change the time and release a decoy?"
Alvenji knew that this persuasion had failed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and scolded in his heart, damn it is not what it means, this guy has a tendon.
"I'll be the praying mantis, and you'll be the yellow finch. The big man patted his chest and said, "The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, if there are cicadas." ”
Hearing this, Alvin swallowed another mouthful of saliva and nodded, "Well, it's a man...... Let's do it.
Sure enough, there was a praying mantis, and Qiaogo, as a cicada, glanced at Maeve, and when the boots landed, all worries came to naught, replaced by a calm and firm axe and sword.
