Chapter 321: The Dungeon
Did he do this on purpose in order to cause the expected trouble?
Of course, the captain was not sure, and it was impossible to check it, anyway, he had his own ideas.
Of course, this meant that the dragoons who arrived before Eriakas would have to be temporarily stationed on the plain outside the temple until he entered with his troops.
This stands for just two words: trouble.
Dragonmen, goblins, and mercenaries are eager to enter the makeshift tent market in front of the temple and enjoy all the entertainment.
They had already traveled a long distance, and their anger was understandable when they found that they could not even enter the temple that was so close at hand.
Many people sneak into the walls at night and pounce on the bars like bees looking for honey.
Brawls took place at every corner, and every dragoon's soldier was loyal only to his commander. The dungeon under the temple is full.
The captain had no choice but to order his men to push the drunken soldiers out of the city walls in carts every morning and dump them so that they could be brought back by their angry commanders.
Disputes began among the dragons, each wanting to dominate the others.
A green dragon, Blue Scarlet Fury, accidentally killed a red dragon while fighting for a deer.
Unfortunately, the dragon happened to be the pet of the Queen. Now this giant green dragon is locked up in a cave in the ground of Nairakar.
His roar and tail waving made people on the ground think that there was an earthquake nearby.
The captain hadn't slept well for two nights.
When the news of Lord Ereakas' arrival came on the morning of the third day, he almost fell to his knees with joy.
He quickly gathered his men together and announced the official start of the ceremony to enter the city. Everything went very smoothly until the hundreds of drunken dragonmen under Toude's command saw Ereakas' troops begin to enter the city.
Due to the incompetence and cowardice of their leader, the natives began to lose control and pushed to get in.
Angry at this interference, Eriakas ordered his officers to lead his soldiers to return fire.
Chaos began.
After darkness, furious sent out guards armed with whips, chains, and maces.
The black-robed mage and the evil priest also went out with them. In the midst of spells and whipping, order was finally restored.
Mistress Eriakas and his troops are finally dignified (but a little embarrassed)
The ground entered the square in front of the temple.
It should be afternoon, and the captain has completely lost his sense of time (those damn flying fortresses are blocking out the sun), and a guard shows up, hoping he can go to the front door to have a look.
"How?" the captain glared at him impatiently with one sharp eye (the other had been blinded during the battle with the Sivanasti Elves), "Is there any fight again?"
Knock them both unconscious and throw them into prison. I'm not feeling well—"
"No—not a fight, sir," the guard stammered, the young goblin guard had been in awe of the human commander.
"The guards at the main gate - sent me. Two-two officers with prisoners - prisoners wanted to enter the city. ”
The captain almost scolded. He was almost ready to call the goblins back and let them in.
It was already crowded with prisoners and slaves, and one or two more would not make much of a difference.
The dragoon general Ella's troops are gathering outside, ready to enter the city. He had to be ready to welcome them officially.
"What kind of prisoner?" he asked, annoyed, trying to get the work at hand done as quickly as he could go to the welcoming ceremony.
"Drunken dragonmen, take them—" "I—I think you should come and see, chief—sir. "The goblins are starting to sweat, and the sweaty goblins don't smell like birds.
"There are a few—a couple of humans, and—a Kander. ”
The captain pinched his nose. "I said—" He paused. "Kander?" he was suddenly intrigued.
"Isn't there a dwarf in there?"
"I don't see it, sir," replied the poor goblin. "But I may not have noticed, sir. ”
"I'll go at once," said the captain. He hurriedly hung up the sword at his waist and followed the goblin to the main entrance.
At least so far, calm has returned to the main entrance. The troops of Ereakas had already entered the city.
Ella's soldiers were struggling to form and prepare to enter.
The ceremony was about to begin, and the captain glanced quickly at the group of people standing at the gates.
Two high-ranking officers of the Dragon Legion guard a group of sullen prisoners.
The captain carefully observed the prisoners, diligently remembering the order he had received only two days earlier. He was instructed to pay special attention to a dwarf traveling with the Kanders.
There could also be an elf, and an elven woman with long silver hair: actually a silver dragon.
They were the companions of the captured elves, and after darkness it was expected that they might come to their rescue at any moment.
There was indeed a Kander here, but the woman inside had curly red hair, not silver.
If she's a dragon, the captain would rather eat his armor. The old, bearded guy was clearly a human, not a dwarf or an elf.
The strangest thing was that he couldn't imagine why two officers had brought in this group of worthless prisoners.
"Just cut their throats, don't bother us," said the captain tiredly, "and we don't have enough space in our prison." Take them away. ”
"What a waste!" said one of the officers, whose arm was as thick as a tree trunk.
He grabbed the redhead girl and pulled her to the front. "I've heard that in the slave market, hehe, there will be a very high price for such goods,"
"You're right," muttered the captain, looking at the girl's proud figure with his intact eyes, and the chain mail she wore sparked his imagination even more.
"But I don't understand why you're bringing this guy in!" he pointed at the Kander, who shouted at once, but was quickly stopped by the officer.
"Kill them—"
The stout officer seemed to be confused by the argument and kept blinking.
Before he could reply, another officer, who had been hiding behind him without saying a word, stepped forward.
"That human is a mage," the officer said. "We guess the Kander is a spy.
We caught them near Daga Fort. “
"Well, why don't you say it at the beginning," the captain said grumpyly.
"And wasting my time. Throw them into jail at will," he said hurriedly, hearing the sound of the trumpet.
The time for the ceremony was approaching, and the huge iron door shook and began to open. "I'll sign your order and bring it here. ”
"We don't—" said the stout officer.
"What document are you talking about?" interjected the bearded officer, fumbling in the bag.
"Proof of identity—"
"No!" said the captain in a huff. 'Documents for your commander to send you to transport prisoners. “
"We didn't get it, sir," said the bearded officer calmly. "Is this a new order?"
"No, it's not," the captain looked at them suspiciously. "How can you get through the blockade without this document?
Are you going to go back or do you want to use the money you earned to have a good time?"
"Not really!" said the stout officer angrily, his eyes glistening with rage.
"Maybe our superiors have forgotten about it, it's just a small matter. He's got to think about a lot of things, and it's a bit of a struggle for him, if you know what I mean. He looked at the captain menacingly.
The gate opened, and the trumpet sounded deafeningly.
The captain sighed helplessly. At this moment he should be standing in the middle to welcome Ella.
He gestured to the nearby Guards after the darkness.
"Take them down," he said, arranging his uniforms. "I'll show them what we do with the deserters!"
As he hurried away, he saw that the guards behind the darkness were more than happy to carry out the order, quickly and efficiently seizing the two officers and disarming them.
As the dragonman grabbed his arm and unloaded his sword, Calamon winked at Robert.
Lena's eyes were filled with fear: things seemed to get out of control. Berclery's face, almost covered by a fake beard, also showed a panicked expression, and it seemed that he was about to scream and run away.
Even Wade was taken aback by the sudden change in plans.
Robert could see the Kande's eyes, skeletal in all directions, trying to find an escape opportunity.
Robert pondered busily.
When he hatched his plan to enter Nairaka, he thought he had considered every possibility himself.
But he never thought that he might be caught as a deserter! If the guards took them all into the dungeon, it would be all over.
As soon as they took off his helmet, they immediately recognized him as a half-elf.
Then they will examine others more closely...... They will find Bercleral......
You are the source of danger.
Without him, Calamon and the others could still get by. Without him......
There was a loud trumpet sound and deafening cheers nearby, and a huge blue dragon carried the dragoon into the temple gate.
When Robert saw the dragoon, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and suddenly he had a new inspiration.
They are now in a bottomless dungeon, as an accident caused the situation.
If Robert and the others can only stay underground at such a critical juncture, then the darkness will inevitably wipe out the entire coalition army.
He suddenly has a good solution, which is to sneak out of the dungeon disguised as a dragon rider.
Not knowing how Rolana was doing now, he was desperate to know the girl's safety.
"Wait, we'll get you out. He muttered in his heart.
