Chapter Seventy-Three: Blocked
"Brother guarding the door, please open the door, we are back from patrol!" shouted the patrol team leader in front of the gate.
After a while, a human head poked out from the lookout above the gate, and after making sure that it was his own person who was shouting below, the gate slowly opened.
The three of Leach were in ambush in the shadows not far away, and when they saw that the entrance was open, they immediately rushed forward.
Originally, Leach was still thinking about whether he could sneak in, but after seeing the appearance of the base gate, he dispelled this idea. Since the opponent's base is built in the belly of the mountain, and it seems that there is only one entrance, so it can only be attacked.
Because the three of Leach rushed straight up without the slightest cover, although the other party was taken aback, they still sounded the alarm in time.
However, the patrol quartet who had not yet entered the gate was unlucky, and in order to rush into the gate as quickly as possible, Leach, who rushed to the front, grabbed the foursome who had not yet reacted and threw it on the stone wall on the side.
After a few muffled bangs, the four of them collapsed to the ground unconscious.
The passage inside the gate was completely different from what they had imagined, and the three of Leach were surprised to find that the stone wall that should have been uneven had been covered with silver-white steel plates. Not only that, but directly above the passage, a guiding light hangs every few steps, making the surroundings as bright as day.
Obviously, this is not a temporary base built by the other party, but an old nest that the other party is really building with his heart, and I don't know how long it has been operating here, and it has not been discovered until now.
As he walked down the passage, just as he was passing a corner, a bullet flew against the tip of Leach's nose, scaring him into a cold sweat.
"There's an ambush!" he yelled, and Leach ran behind cover on the other side with the fastest courier, and then had the kung fu probe to look ahead.
Originally, Leach thought that there were not many people left in the base on the other side now, after all, they had not encountered any resistance at all except for a few gatekeepers when they first entered the door, but when they saw that they were not going to enter, Leach couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At the end of the corner, more than 20 people lined up in two rows, standing and kneeling, each holding a guide gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the side where the three Leach were hiding.
Trying to look ahead at the passage again, Leach had to abandon the method of relying on cover to advance, and the entire passage was unobstructed, and there was no place to hide.
"Damn, that's a problem now!" Leach frowned, "How can these guys have a guiding weapon, are they going to steal or do they want to rob openly." ”
Although the opponent's guiding weapon is only the standard equipment in the army, and it is not special like Michael's weapon, and it is very powerful, it cannot withstand the large number of opponents. In such an environment, Leach was confident that he would be able to break through unscathed under the siege of four or five guiding weapons, but in the face of the situation in front of him, the space for hiding was so small, he could only act as a turtle with a shrunken head. Getting injured in order to defeat a group of minions is not a wise move.
"Saya, let's see if you can shoot a few!" Unable to think of a way to break through for a while, Leach could only let Saya, who was also a ranged attacker, consume the opponent's numbers.
Nodding, Saya quickly unleashed the longbow from his back, bent his bow and arrows, and shot an enemy in one fell swoop.
"There's a play!" Seeing that the method worked, Leach clenched his fist fiercely.
But before he could rejoice, the row of enemies kneeling opposite him pulled out a shield from his back, and Saya's attack immediately lost its threat.
"Oh my God, is this a group of thieves or an army! How can you even learn the rules of the army......" Leach complained speechlessly.
"Shield...... There you have it!" None of this was possible, and Leach had a new way, "Lena, so many people, use that!"
"What?" Obviously, Lena didn't understand Leach's intentions, and her face was full of bewilderment.
"You forgot, that little knack Uncle Wright gave you a long time ago!"
Leach was talking about the two of them getting an alchemy item from Wright when they first accepted the commission as adventure hunters.
At that time, they were commissioned to rescue a young girl from captivity from the hands of a group of deserters from the empire.
However, when they arrived at their destination, Leach found that the deserters were not regular soldiers at all, but just some untrained soldiers, and they did not pose a threat at all.
With this discovery, Lena, who has always liked "frugality", refused to use the alchemy props given to them by Wright, and forced Leach to go up and do it.
Although Leach was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey her, so he had to rush in and knock those soldiers to the ground one by one.
Fortunately, although the gang couldn't fight, the ability to turn around and run away when they saw that it was wrong was very powerful, Leach just casually slapped the nearest few people with a black blade, and the rest fled when they saw that the situation was not good, which saved him a lot of effort.
And that alchemy prop has been carried by Lena with her since then, just in case.
After Leach's reminder, Lena also remembered that there was indeed such a thing in her small bag, and quickly lowered her head and rummaged through it.
In a few moments, a black ball appeared in Lena's hand.
Although Lena is usually out of tune, she can still be relied on occasionally at critical moments, and knowing that she won't use this thing, she threw it at Leach without hesitation.
Seeing that Lena threw the thing out without taking it out, Leach secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his fingers groped for a while on the black ball, and the black ball cracked in the middle, and a silver-white ball rolled out of it.
I don't know what material the new round ball is made of, and the surface of the ball is constantly flowing like flowing water, which is very beautiful, but it has a physical hardness in the hand.
Without looking closely, Leach slapped the ball against the wall at his side, and quickly threw it at the enemy.
After a burst of bright light, the whole world fell silent.
Leach patted the dust on his pants and walked out of the corner in a good time, and although Lena and Saya didn't know what was going on, they also walked out out of trust in Leach.
In the passage, the enemy, who had just been so crushed that the three of them did not dare to show their heads, lay down on the ground one by one, although they were all open, they could not move or speak at all, and could only watch as Leach searched for some ropes from them and tied them together.
