Chapter 395: The Secret Passage
In the midst of the silence, a fishing boat broke out of it, but it was completely covered by a blanket of felt, and the fishy smell of dead fish lingered on the surface.
The ship approached the shallow harbor as if it were unmanned, where only a few Chaos Folk wandered aimlessly on the stairs, and the fishing boat's docking did not attract their attention, they could only seek out prey that exuded the scent of living creatures.
Suddenly, the felt carpet was lifted, and several figures rushed out of it, and the sickle monsters in the fog were directly cut off before they could even turn around.
Just as the upper body of the Chaos Folk in front of him was about to fall and make a sound, the quick-eyed Stannis grabbed his torso to prevent it from making a noise to attract other monsters hiding in the mist.
But he still miscalculated, and there was a small sound next to him, although not very loud, but in the absolute silence, it still made Stannis tremble, and he looked angrily towards the source of the sound, wanting to know which bastard could be so careless.
Sure enough, it was Robert's boy who missed the carcass, and he arched his hand at Stannis, indicating that it was his fault.
Thankfully, the sound didn't attract the other Chaos folks, and Stannis sniffed his body, the fishy smell almost didn't stun him, but because of this, he was able to hide the human aura on their bodies and was able to sneak in.
After emptying the mooring monsters, Stannis threw a few rocks into the fog and made a splash, the ripples telling those hiding in it that they could come out, and soon four or five fishing boats drove out of the fog, filled with knights holding their breath.
"Be quiet!"
Stannis said to everyone in a low voice, in order to ensure that the infiltration was absolutely quiet, he ordered everyone to take off their armor before getting on the ship, and he launched a surprise attack without summoning the black armor just now.
Now that at least the landing area is safe, all they have to do is how to quietly and quickly make their way through the invisible fog to what Milian calls the smuggling tunnel.
"Knight Hawke, what should we do next?" Stannis asked anxiously, now that they were exposed to this place it was extremely dangerous, and they would only be dead if they were discovered by the restless Chaos people without a barrier.
Mirien, however, hesitated, for the fog gave them an advantage, as well as their inability to distinguish their surroundings.
“...... I can be sure that the entrance to the secret passage is in the sewer ahead, but I can't guarantee the exact location. ”
Sure enough, every time things didn't go as planned, Stannis couldn't complain, he gestured for everyone to form a single formation, and asked Milian to lead the way with him.
At first, it was very smooth, and he didn't encounter a single Chaos Folk along the way, but after reaching fifty meters, Stannis stopped, not for rest, of course, but because a large wave of black shadows appeared in the white fog ahead, and it was a large group of Chaos Folk who had gathered together, and they were sharpening their knives and waiting for the next prey to throw themselves into the net.
The gang spun aimlessly and blocked the front of the sewers, preventing them from moving on, and they would face at least five times as many enemies as they would be if they were to push their way through.
And now I can't go backwards, in case I encounter a monster wandering back on the way back, there is still nowhere to escape.
In short, Stannis was in a dilemma, but he quickly thought of a solution to his current predicament, which was to send a fearless and sacrificial fellow to jump out and lure away the monsters so that they could sneak into the secret passage, of course, the 'voluntarily' sacrificial guy could only be crowned a martyr later.
Of course, there is only one such candidate, and that is......
Stannis looked back with a smile on his face, "Radish, I've given you a glorious and difficult task. ”
"Less!" Robert gave him a blank look, he had already seen through Stannis's sinister intentions, and at the same time made a more reasonable suggestion, "Actually, I think you should be the bait to lure away all the monsters." ”
When Stannis heard this, he felt that this kid was really not a good person, "I am the king, how can there be a reason for the king to sacrifice for his men!"
But Robert's next idea convinced Stannis, that is, to use the black armor on his body, what he had experienced before showed that as long as he put on the black armor, he could come and go freely among the brainless monsters, as long as Stannis ran far enough to lure the monsters away and then put on the black armor, he would definitely be able to get out of the way.
After listening to Robert's explanation, Stannis couldn't help but praise, "You kid is really a genius! Okay, let this king personally take the risk to fight for your way forward!"
With that, Stannis stood up, he waved his hands and screamed in circles, at first, only a few Chaos Folk were attracted to him, but because his performance was so eye-catching, and then he was followed by thousands of monsters chasing him.
Seeing that he was almost done, Stannis immediately put on black armor and prepared to swagger through the monsters again.
But the situation was diametrically opposed to what he expected, and the monsters not only did not stop, but chased after him even more happily!
"What's the situation!" Stannis was frightened and his legs weakened, and at this time he finally reacted, just like different systems are incompatible, the black armor made between different divine seals is also different, and the black armor on his body now undoubtedly cannot deceive the chaos people created by this divine seal.
"Fuck! don't play like this!" Stannis didn't realize that he was being chased behind his ass by a bunch of brainless monsters in the body of a king, and when he returned to the starting point, he found that it was empty, and Robert and the others had left him and fled into the secret tunnel.
Thankfully, through the mist, Stannis heard someone shouting, "Boss, here!"
When Stannis heard this, he immediately ran there and found Robert waving at him behind an iron door.
"Good brother!" Stannis yelled at as he knocked the monster behind him back and jumped into the secret passage, before Robert immediately closed and locked the rusty door completely.
"Huh~~ I almost hung up because of myself!" Stannis sat down and let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that the people he had brought with him had entered the secret passage without further ado, and since this was the case, he stood up and said to Milian, "Let's go, continue to lead the way." ”
