Chapter 265: Breaking into the city of Monkeba at night
In the royal palace of Monksbah, the capital of the Goblin Kingdom, Clarence is listening triumphantly to the report of the squire.
Just this afternoon, Sun Licheng's army of more than 100,000 troops had already set up camp and retreated nearly 20 kilometers to the north, although it did not meet his psychological expectations, but it also proved that Solomon's strategy was effective.
"Thank you, Solomon. With just such a move, Sun Licheng's army was forced back. ”
After listening to the squire's report, Clarence turned to Solomon next to him and smiled.
A smile appeared on Solomon's lips, and he bowed to Clarence before saying, "Your Majesty, this is all thanks to your wise leadership. As long as Sun Licheng retreats and retreats, then we can release the news that he will not dare to fight with us, which will definitely greatly hit the morale of the Flower King. When their morale hits rock bottom, that's when we can raise our army and wipe them out once and for all. ”
After listening to Solomon's words, Clarence nodded in satisfaction, and the two looked at each other, and then laughed.
On the side of the flower king**, it is a sad face.
Sun Licheng was in the king's tent, comforting Caroline, and little Medusa Vena handed the female ogre a handkerchief from time to time and asked her to wipe her tears.
Seeing that Caroline, who is usually strong, was so uncomfortable, Sun Licheng could only sigh secretly in his heart, Clarence and Solomon threatened themselves with their father-in-law, which really made him have no way at all.
At this moment, there was a sound of armor clashing, and after a while, Clark the Minotaur walked into the king's tent.
"King, something is wrong, some serf troops heard that we were threatened by the Goblin Kingdom and withdrew, so they clamored to leave, and now there are thousands of people who have left without saying goodbye, Grant They want to ask, what should we do. ”
With a grim face, Clark walked quickly to Sun Licheng's side and whispered to him.
Sun Licheng smiled bitterly and found that he didn't have any good solutions.
If he continues to withdraw his troops, the confidence that he has built up with great difficulty among the goblins and ogres will collapse, but if he forcibly attacks the royal capital regardless of Barrett's life and death, then he will also fall into cold-blooded infamy and let himself and his subordinates be alienated.
"What a poisonous trick. ”
Thinking of this, the half-elf Solomon's ever-smiling face appeared in Sun Licheng's mind again, and he couldn't help but curse secretly.
"Sun Licheng, let's find a way to rescue my father. ”
Caroline also heard Clark's words, stared at her red and swollen eyes, and asked Sun Licheng.
Sun Licheng thought for a moment and nodded at him, and after a while, a group of high-ranking officers such as Chebman, Mr. Skillful Hand, Dog Meat, and Grant gathered at the king's tent.
"Chebman, do you know where Barrett is being held?"
Sun Licheng asked the rabbit-headed man.
Chebman thought for a moment and replied, "Barrett and I were in the underground prison of Monksba City at that time, and I think he should still be there now." ”
Hearing this, Sun Licheng fell into deep thought.
Tonight was a rare rainy night on the plateau, and the cold rain made the night even darker.
At this time, several Goblin Kingdom soldiers, carrying spears on their shoulders and wearing raincoats made of leaves, patrolled back and forth on the walls of Monksbah.
The rain was heavy and the temperature was extremely cold, and after a few rounds of inspection, the soldiers would return to the fort to rest for a while. Because the flower king ** has withdrawn from the periphery of the royal city, the officers also turn a blind eye to the soldiers' behavior of hiding from the rain.
Just as the soldiers returned to the fortress to take shelter from the rain and fire, two black shadows came in from the city wall like two ghosts.
"Huh?"
A goblin soldier who was walking on the way back to the fortress felt movement behind him, and hurriedly picked up his spear and looked back, but the city wall was empty, and there was something somewhere.
"Did I hear it wrong?"
The soldier reached into his raincoat and scratched his head, puzzled.
Just then, a goblin head poked out of the fortress and shouted to him, "Come in quickly, we'll continue patrolling later." ”
Hearing the call of his companion, the Goblin Kingdom soldier laughed at himself and walked quickly into the fortress with his spear in hand.
At this moment, the two black shadows came in from the city wall again.
"Sun Licheng, it's so hanging. ”
A dark shadow lowered his voice to the other person and said, obviously the voice of little Medusa Vina, uh, this is Sun Licheng and Vena, they came to save Barrett.
When he climbed the city wall just now, Sun Licheng's strong senses found that the goblin soldiers stopped, and immediately took Vena out of the city wall again, hooking his hand on the battlement, so as to avoid the sight of the goblin soldiers.
"Let's be careful, according to Chebman, Barrett is being held in the center of the city. Let's go. ”
Sun Licheng saw that the gate of the fortress was slammed shut, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after whispering to Vina, he quickly descended the city wall from the road with Vena on his back.
Today is also a beautiful day, the heavy rain has caused the people in the city to hide in their houses to keep out the cold, and the streets are almost empty except for patrols.
Relying on their powerful perception ability, Sun Licheng and Vina evaded more than a dozen patrols and finally came to a large iron gate.
"This is supposed to be an underground prison. With so much iron for the gate, it can be regarded as a luxury. ”
Looking at the large iron gate welded with iron bars as thick as an arm, Sun Licheng whispered to Vina, and then came to the middle of the iron gate.
He looked in and saw a large brass lock hanging from inside the iron gate, and the courtyard was quiet.
Sun Licheng waited for a while, and when he saw that no one came out, he put Vena down, and then pressed the big iron gate with his right hand.
With the activation of the power of elemental guidance, the copper lock on the door began to tremble, Sun Licheng's face was full of hideousness at this time, and all his willpower was concentrated on his right hand, while Vena held the war knife in her hand and looked around nervously.
Finally, with a click, the copper lock was opened. Sun Li let out a sigh of relief, and then saw that his right hand slowly became longer and thinner, and he actually passed through the crack in the door and slowly took off the big copper lock.
After a while, Sun Licheng used his deformed hand to carefully push open the iron door, revealing a slit that could be passed by, and then quietly ran in with Vena on his back.
"The body transformation ability of the Big Stomach King is really powerful. ”
When they opened the door of the cell in the courtyard, Sun Licheng couldn't help but sigh, having this ability gave him the confidence to come to Barrett.
Sun Licheng carefully pushed open the door of the cell, and just a few steps into the cell guard, a yawning goblin jailer walked up from below.
The jailer finished yawning, and suddenly noticed that there were two more guys dressed in black in front of him, and he was immediately shocked, and he was just about to shout for someone, when he saw that the eyes of one of them suddenly flashed with a dazzling white light, and then he didn't know anything.
Looking at the jailer who had turned into a stone statue, Sun Li stretched out a thumbs up like little Medusa, this is Queen Medusa's natural skill, petrification.
Vena, who has petrification skills, is like a life harvester, constantly rushing into the jailer's lounge under the guidance of Sun Licheng, turning all the goblins and ogres inside into stone statues, and it didn't take long for the entire dungeon guards to disappear.
After cleaning the guard room and the rest room, Sun Licheng and Vena quietly walked down the steps, where Barrett and other important prisoners were held.
When he was about to reach the bottom of the dungeon, Sun Licheng vaguely heard someone talking.
"Barrett, your daughter and your son-in-law have withdrawn, and they are really obedient. ”
A tone spoke, and the tone was cold.
"Keith, you bastard, I think I think of you as a brother, I didn't expect you to be such a demon. ”
Immediately after, Barrett's angry voice came.
Sun Licheng poked his head out at the entrance of the passage and found that it was an ogre in plate armor, poking a piece of roast pork with a dagger, talking to the cell while eating.
"Hehe, brother, you can't wronged me. There is only one tribe where we have the final say, and that's my Bloodaxe tribe. As for you Chiyan tribe, I can only say I'm sorry. ”
The ogre named Keith took a bite of pork with his big mouth and smiled at the people in the cell.
When he was about to say something more, his face suddenly changed, and he turned his head and shouted to the entrance of the passage, "Who is it?"
