Chapter 102: Escape
It took several times for the Rock Thieves to move all the treasures cleanly, and not even a single silver coin was left for Baron Godan, but Baron Godan was already very indifferent, he just looked at the dirt on the ground, and sat silently on the ground.
Fed returned to the iron door leading to the second basement floor, opened it and looked outside, and found that Alain and Julian's rebels were still constantly banging and digging the upper cover of the basement floor in the lord's hall, but after an hour or so of hard work, they still did not break through, but the sand and gravel on the basement floor became more, and it was estimated that it would take some time to break through to the basement floor.
The other party would not have thought that they had found an exit and were about to escape from the underground of the pool castle.
Nangus pointed to Baron Gotán, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "This man should be the baron of the Pool Castle, why did he end up like this?" After all the treasures had been removed, he planned to find out about the situation of the Fidel and them.
Fidel started from the invasion of the Republic of Marvel by the Kingdom of Cosey to the internal rebellion of them in the Pool Castle, and talked about the general experience, but also kept some details such as the fact that they were looking for Russell, etc., and did not confess all of them to the thief in front of them. And when he recounted what had happened, Fidel began to notice details that he hadn't been aware of before, such as the letter sent to Disha Castle from the inside, which was supposed to have been written by Alain or Julian. He connected all the details in his mind, only to find that the long-planned rebellion inside had clues to be traced.
After hearing this, even his nose was sweating, and he asked the wounded to leave the tunnel first, and then continued to say to Fidel: "I see, I plan to make a deal with you, a deal between our Rock Thieves and your Moon Shield Mercenary Group. His eyes had been peeking at Baron Gotán and Viscount Monta, and it was clear that he was the target of his trade.
Fed asks Noor to take Kesi out first, but Kesi is reluctant to live or die, and must follow Fed.
"Tell me, I'm not the head of the group, but I'd like to hear about your deal first. ”
"I'm going to pay the price of healing all your wounds and keeping you safe for the next few days," he looked at Baron Gotan with hatred in his eyes, "and then replace these two people." ”
Fid probably guessed the man's intentions. He had heard from Noor that the Rock Thieves were a group of homeless civilians hiding on the borders of the Kosai Kingdom, and that many of them were exploited by these noble lords who could not live without spitting bones, so they must be eager to eat these high-ranking and cruel lords.
"I might have to think about it first, after all, their status is very special, and our Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment is in the Senate of the Republic of Marveil," Fei De said at this point, only to realize that there was something wrong with his words. Although he still claims to be the leader of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group, the life and death of the leader Andre is unpredictable, Alain and Julian are completely in control of the situation, and the real mastermind behind the scenes, Archon Manle is actually "homeless", and the City of Honor can no longer accommodate himself and Andre, and the Moon Shield Mercenary Group will also become Alain Kudson's mercenary group. After thinking of this, Fei De knew that there was not much he could do now, and agreeing to the other party's trading terms was one of them - after all, these two knights of the Winter Kingdom were of little use to him and the people around him.
"Think about it, it's just two people who have nothing to do with you anyway. Nangus glanced at the two knights on the ground, and the Viscount Monta did not dare to look at the thief, for he was afraid that one of them would be unhappy and kill him.
"I promise you," Fei De decisively agreed to the deal, "please heal our mercenaries, and we need your protection during this time." ”
"Very wise, though the mercenaries also disgust me very much," he squatted on the ground, tied Monta and Gotan together with a rope, and pulled them up as if they were two sheep, "but compared to these two lords, these great men who have never understood our suffering, the mercenaries are like cream crepes, fragrant and delicious. ”
The two knights were led by Nangus towards the entrance of the tunnel, and at this time, the Baron Gotán struggled to knock Nangus down, and then violently broke free of the rope that he had secretly broken, and pulled the dagger from Nangus's waist and plunged it into the thief's back.
Marcus tried to use his hammer to stop Gotan, but Fid was quicker. He pulled out the "silence" and stabbed the other man downward, swinging his sword upwards, slicing off Baron Gotan's dagger-wielding wrist.
Baron Gotán grabbed his arm and let out a heart-rending scream, and Nangus had already rolled over, put the dagger back at his waist, and then gagged Baron Gotán's mouth with the rope that had been broken free from the ground, preventing him from crying.
"Hey, I was actually saved by a mercenary," Nangus sweated more and more on his head, and he really didn't know if it was because of the danger of his life just now or because of his own body, "I will return the favor to you soon." He glared at Viscount Monta, who was slumped on the ground. The viscount was so frightened that he didn't move, like a pig pretending to be dead, and he felt dizzy even when he looked at the broken wrist.
Fed took the "silence" back, and motioned for the Marcus brothers to go out of the tunnel first, and himself in the back hall.
Kesi didn't feel terrible when she saw Baron Godan with his wrist blurred on the side, probably because she had experienced too many of these bloody scenes after joining the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and now even if she killed someone with her own hands or someone died tragically in front of her, it didn't feel so terrifying. The Duke's only daughter was also aware of the changes in herself, and she no longer trembled or hesitated when she aimed her crossbow at others.
Maybe it's because Fed's side has given her courage, or maybe she's really grown a lot, but in Klesh's heart, she feels like she's a good mercenary - at least she won't be holding Greif and Fright back.
Thinking of Greif, Keth immediately asked Fed, "What if Greif he came here now with those sword and shield mercenaries under Bisluvis?"
Fett thought about it for a moment, and even he had almost forgotten about Greif.
Nur joked on the side: "What else can I do, it's nothing more than to win or lose, it's better to let someone tell him not to come, anyway, we all fled." ”
"No!" Although Keth didn't really think of Greif as her brother, the fisherman had always kept her safe, and this time she asked André to stay with Fed, the castle of the pool, because she was worried that she might have an accident, so she couldn't be ungrateful.
"Absolutely not! Even if I go on my own, I have to tell him that we have escaped. Coth muttered under her breath, looking at Fed, hoping that the other would agree with her.
In fact, Fei De was considering whether it was possible to borrow the 1,000 sword and shield mercenaries to counterattack Alain and Julian's rebels, so as to reverse the current result?
But there are also several equally unfavorable circumstances, one of which is the morale of the 1,000 men under Greif. Bisluvis may have been unlucky, and it is not certain that they will surrender to the rebels after losing their squadron leader, after all, Alain has a high prestige and seniority in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and considering the many times he has surrendered to the enemy in the Pool Castle before, the result is really unpredictable. Then there's the "mountain" of Pool Castle, where Greif's men don't have mobile trebuchets, and if Julian and Alain stick to Pool Castle, it's really not so easy to defeat each other. Finally, there is the kingdom of Kosai, who have been fighting in the territory of the enemy, and will surely be noticed.
While Koth and Nur were arguing, Fidel had already figured it out, and he decided to abandon the counterattack, as that would drag all those who had just gained a little respite into the abyss of slaughter.
Feder looked at Coth and said, "I'll have Greif informed, but I'm going to have him abandon those troops and join us alone." He continued to express his considerations to the two of them, and it was the best plan to let Greif come to ensure the safety of the other party and prevent them from revealing their whereabouts.
Koth looked at Fid gratefully, and Noor agreed.
Nangus listened to Field's words on the sidelines, although it was the first time they met, he had already seen Field's ability - whether it was the reaction and sword skills that saved him just now, or the thoughtfulness and judgment, he saw Russell's shadow.
"Well, if there's nothing else we're going to leave. Nangus glanced at the staircase leading up, and some voices were already coming from behind the iron door.
Fide nodded, and he let Noor and Koth go first, and he and Nangus went last. Fei De was still a little worried about Xue Rui, but thinking that she was asked to be captured alive, it is estimated that Alan did not want the life of this snow-haired female cavalryman, but with Xue Rui's strong character, I am afraid the result will be unpredictable.
It doesn't make much sense to think about that now. Fed watched as Nangus stood in one of the tunnels, stabbing his dagger at a spot above. A collapse had already been carved out of the tunnel when it came, and now Nangus only had to touch its mechanism.
I saw a "bang" above the tunnel, and a large pile of sand and stones fell, completely sealing the entrance to the tunnel, which was not spacious. Both Fidel and Nangus immediately covered their mouths and stepped back, then walked towards the exit of the tunnel.
When he walked out of the tunnel, it was still dark, and Fei De glanced back at the tunnel that had dug into the second basement floor of the pool castle, and he threw the key to open the iron door on the ground - everything he had established in the Moon Shield Mercenary Group before had come to naught, but Fei De knew in his heart that he was one step closer to the Moon Shield, the weapon of life.
