Chapter 80: The Profiteers
In the cold and damp dungeon, rats squeaked unnoticed.
Drop by drop of water fell to the ground, and the whole dungeon was silent, and Sancho sat motionless in his cell.
Sancho had a slight habit of cleanliness, but in this filthy cell, he never lost his temper at all.
As a nobleman, Sancho was traditionally treated as a nobleman even if he was defeated and captured. It's a pity that Rayso apparently didn't have a duty to the guy who caused him a lot of trouble.
For Resso, Sancho was like a huge money bag, and he was ready to extort a sum of money from the old Duke of Fernand. As a result, Rayso stepped up his defenses near the dungeon. Since Sancho's arrest, he has not been in contact with the outside world.
Stamped, from far to near, the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers rang in Sancho's ears, and his face remained calm.
The soldiers did not dare to be careless about the prisoners that the new king of Navarre had asked to take care of. Check on time every day to avoid mistakes.
After the patrol leader finished the inspection, he saw that the people in the cell were still sitting on the ground with their eyes closed, very quiet, he waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to continue patrolling.
As the footsteps faded away, Sancho opened his eyes, calm with rage.
Anger, unspeakable anger suppressed in the heart, like a whirlpool in the deep sea, growing more and more intense. With each quarter of an hour, Sancho's hatred for Reso, the new king of Navarre, deepened.
Squeak squeak!
The rat's voice grew louder and louder, as if the hard stone bricks behind it had been pried off. Sancho's eyes grew brighter and brighter, shining with a dazzling sheen. His face became calmer and calmer, but his heart was beating excitedly.
There was a bang, as if the drill bit of a drill had broken the wall, and a loud noise was heard, and Sancho stood up and turned around.
In front of him, a monster with a mouse's head and a linen cloak broke through the wall, staring at Sancho with strange green eyes.
Touching Sancho's sight, the rat-man shuddered inexplicably and half-knelt down.
The cell was built deep underground, and the back of the cell was thick with rock, and Rayso placed most of the guards in the entrance to the dungeon, but he did not expect that Sancho's men would drill through the rock and open a passage to the underground cell.
"Huh!"
With a crisp smile, a scantily clad woman appeared in front of Sancho in the dark, damp cell. The woman has beautiful curves, her skin is like snow, and her eyes are red and shiny, like blood.
For Sancho, the woman was not as respectful as a rat-man. Seeing Sancho's current appearance, she looked a little gloating.
"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Sancho would have this day. I really want to see who can make the arrogant and arrogant Highness Sancho look like this. ”
Sancho, who had always been maintenance-oriented, now had no boundaries, a scruffy beard, a head full of unkempt, and a thick grease on his face. This image, which is still related to the prince, is a wanderer who is alive.
Faced with the woman's ridicule, Sancho was a little annoyed. He never imagined that the Brotherhood would send her to save him. Of all the Brotherhood, Sancho was the only woman who could not handle it.
"Lilith, who did it? Haven't you found out after so long?"
Sancho looked at the woman named Lilith, and a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth inexplicably.
"Ah, I've only heard that on the night of the coup d'état in Resso, someone broke into your mansion in the city, and you didn't see the other person's face, and you were brought here?"
In the face of Sancho's ridicule, Lilith covered her mouth in surprise, telling the truth she already knew.
In the dark cell, Sancho's face was a little red. That night's duel with Will, he didn't even see Will's face, and he was knocked unconscious.
For Sancho, this is an absolute shame that will not be washed away for the rest of his life. For Lilith, it's a joke worth repeating.
"Oh, Your Highness Sancho, how is the heat on your body so much higher in vain, is it so hot in this cell?"
Sancho finally understood that he was the one who suffered from the rapidity with this woman.
Therefore, with a black face and without looking at the woman, he headed for the dark underground passage.
Seeing Sancho's appearance, Lilith shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and secretly said that she was really a stingy man, and then turned around and got into the dark passage.
Lilith wore a skirt with high scarlets at the front and back, and a pair of small fleshy wings were attached to the exposed skin behind her back. Obviously, this is not a trait that a human woman should have.
......
"Sancho ran away?"
When Rayso learned of this, he was in the arsenal, examining the weapons and armor of the two newly created Legionnaires.
Navarre's original three legions already had a cavalry legion. Around Navarre, where the terrain is complex, wooded, and mountainous, it is enough to have a cavalry army. As a result, the two legions that Rayso prepared to create were positioned as infantry legions, with at most one siege equipment squad each.
"It's a pity, a lot of money ran away!" For Sancho's escape, Resso didn't pay too much attention to it, looking at the big sword in his hand and wiping it carefully.
"My Prime Minister, you see, these great swords are even better than the blacksmiths of the royal capital. ”
"My Majesty, how can you still be in the mood to pay attention to these weapons? Compared to Resso's nerves, his newly appointed prime minister, the Hand of the King, is full of anxiety at the moment.
Who was this Sancho? No one else knew, but wouldn't this long-established official in Navarre know? Reso kept Sancho in that dark, damp cell, eating and drinking like any other prisoner. This is undoubtedly humiliating the crown prince of the Duchy of León.
Now that they have escaped, will they give up?
"What are you afraid of?" said Lei Suo disdainfully, he compared the blade of the great sword, as far as his eyes could see, the tip of each great sword was extremely straight from the hilt to the hilt, and there was no trace of error in length and thickness. It can be seen how well the blacksmith who made this great sword has worked so well.
"Your Majesty, the kingdom is in turmoil, and this time it may be a big trouble!"
Rayso smiled and said, "What should come is always coming." Over the years, Sancho's tentacles have infiltrated Navarre. For what? I guess you understand. Even if I serve him good food and drink, do you think Sancho will give up?"
Yadi didn't expect that his majesty's city was so deep.
"Your Majesty said yes!"
At this time, in the arsenal, a figure surrounded by black qi appeared in front of the two of them.
"You profiteer, what are you here for this time?"
Lei Suo smiled, put down the big sword in his hand, turned to look at the black shadow in the black mist, and asked.
