Marcus and Feder retreated to the front gate of the inner city, and by this time many of his men who were still loyal to André and Bithluvis were standing on the walls.

"Captain Fed, hurry back to the hall of the lords! there's a fierce battle going on over there!" a mercenary standing on the rampart was holding a bow and aiming outside.

Feder looked behind him and saw that Alain and Julian's men had not yet pursued him, and shouts were already heard from within the inner city, as if the retreating mercenaries had engaged the rebels.

Marcus said to Fed, "Let's go back quickly, as long as we guard the front and rear gates, we may have a chance to wait until Greif arrives," he took his golden hammer from his back, "Hold on until Greif, the situation will change immediately, as long as we save our strength, we can fight Alain's rebels from the inside and outside." ”

Feder followed Marcus in the direction of the Lord's Hall, and the gates behind him were slowly shut, and it seemed that all those who could retreat had already returned.

As he walked into the inner city, he noticed that the rebel pikemen had been scattered throughout the inner city, and although they were not numerous, they still caused a lot of trouble for the mercenaries who had retreated from the outside.

It turned out that after the hundred spear mercenaries arrived at the lord's hall, they didn't find the entrance to the underground layer for a while, so they had to walk out of the empty fortress and patrol the inner city, but they didn't expect that the hundreds of mercenaries who had retreated outside happened to run into them, and the two sides immediately fell into a melee.

Marcus didn't exit into the lord's hall, he found a few of his subordinates and walked in the direction of the back gate of the inner city, saying that he wanted to guard that side.

When Fed walked into the Hall of Lords, he found that Matthews and Bithluvis were already in the hall.

"Since you're all back, Alain must not have been killed, right?" said Bisluvis without looking back, turning his back to Fidel.

"No, and Julian is here too. ”

"Very good, it's all here. ”

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Fielder asked rhetorically.

"If you had said it first, you wouldn't have been so desperate," it turned out that Bithluvis had also used the other mercenaries as bargaining chips, including Field, who was also gambling, "Now just hold on to the inner city and wait for Greif's reinforcements to arrive." Bezluvis's silver-colored plate armor was stained with blood, and his face was streaked with blood.

Matthews, who was sitting on the ground, asked his men to bandage his arms without saying a word.

Fidel asked Bisluves, "How many of us are left now?"

"I don't think there are more than two hundred, but there are dozens of traitors who originally surrendered to Alain and have returned to my men," Bisluvis replied lightly, pointing to the side chamber of the lord's hall and saying, "There are two spear mercenaries over there, who say they are here to serve Andrei." ”

Fed walked over and found Avi and Van sitting on the ground, both wounded.

"You two... Aren't you Avi from the Cavalry Squadron?" Fidel first recognized the guy with the big nose as Carrie's friend, and then remembered that Avi was a mercenary from the Cavalry Squadron.

"Senior, where is Carrie now?!" Avi asked loudly as soon as she saw Fielder. And the big-nosed Van sitting next to him also looked at Field, waiting for him to speak.

Feder thought about it in his mind for a while, and decided not to reveal the underground layer to them first, "Is your cavalry squadron completely wiped out?" Feder remembered Eddie's head stuck in a spear, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Avi confesses to Fett everything he encountered, including Alain's squad leader's request to capture Cherry alive, how Van rescued him, and what they planned to do here.

Fett nodded, and he decided to let the two young men hide in the basement as well. Although Feder is not much older than Avi and Van in terms of age, he is much more mature than the two in front of him. Fide led them to the entrance, where he pulled back the carpet and tapped rhythmically on the entrance—the code he had told Noor that no one could open without hearing it.

Originally, this entrance was to be opened with a key, but Baron Godan was unwilling to give it to Fidel, so Feder had to ask people to search for the key on Gotan's body, and he also found another key in Baron Godan's room, presumably to open the entrance to the second basement floor, and he gave both keys to Kesi for her to keep.

The people in the underground layer quickly opened the iron door of the entrance from below, and Noor was holding a long sword, pointing at Fid at the entrance and saying, "Is it you, have you already eliminated all those traitors?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Keth had already run over and looked up at Fidel, who was laughing with her mouth covered and a little tear in her eye.

Fidel immediately asked Avi and Van to climb down the basement, and he also half-crouched down and said to Noor and Koth, "No, I haven't killed Alain yet. He told them both about what had just happened, and told them to stay hidden. Fett saw a hint of disappointment on Koth's face, but he didn't say anything to comfort them, just ordered them to lock the entrance and not open it easily.

When Avi and Fan arrived at the basement, they found that the basement was quite large, about the size of the hall on the upper floor, and could accommodate hundreds of people. And now most of the people lying in the basement are seriously wounded, about twenty or so. Avi glanced around, and they spotted Carrie sitting next to the blackened head Andrew, washing a towel.

"Carrie!" Avi called out to her, and he immediately walked over to Carrie with his big nose.

When Carrie saw that Avi and Fan were safe, she immediately stood up, pulled her hands out of the basin, and ran towards the two of them, holding Avi in her left hand and Fan in her right.

"Great! You're still alive!" Carrie also had tears in her eyes, she had been worried about the two of them, and now that she saw that they were safe, she forgot to wipe the water off her hands in excitement.

Avi also gently stroked Carrie's back with one hand, while Fan said, "What's so good about this, we've all been driven to this basement, and now it's really a dead end." He couldn't help but hold his forehead with one hand and looked helplessly at the head of the regiment who was blackened.

Carrie pushed Fan away, wiped the tears from her face with her right hand, and said, "I can't say that! I thought you were all dead just now, but you are not alive yet?"

Avi also said: "Yes, I heard from Senior Fei De that there will be reinforcements soon, and when the time comes..."

"Hey, I should have run for my life, you guys are so naïve, have you forgotten that we don't need to fight for this month's shield mercenary group..." Although he was surrounded by mercenaries who were seriously injured and could not die, he was not allowed to shout out his secrets casually here.

With the Spearmen Commando in the inner city wiped out, Fidel, Bithluvis, and Matthews began to discuss how to defend the inner city until Greif's arrival, after all, they still had two hundred troops, if they relied on the city walls...

While they were discussing, one of the mercenaries rushed into the hall and reported to Bisluvis: "No! no! the rebels have attacked!
