"What a bad idea...... It's a good thing that I didn't even see the shadow of the enemy boss, so I was left in prison waiting to see God. ”

Polcha, dressed in old cloth clothes, and a dozen Dabaran refugees were huddled in the same suspended cage, and from time to time there was cold rain washing over the captives through the gaps in the treetops on the top, and Porcha himself was also haggard, obviously being taken care of, but this square iron cage with a length of five meters and a width of more than four meters was obviously not used to hold prisoners of war, even a small man like Porcha could only sit in the corner with his knees crossed, and it was nonsense to cut off an inch-thick iron bar to escape from this place when normal standing was not allowed。

Looking around, there are also several cages hanging from tree trunks nearly four meters high, and the people who are also imprisoned are some residents of Dabalan villages and towns who have not had time to evacuate, the whole camp is divided into several areas, and his location is the open-air workshop that occupies the larger ground, the Druas have made reasonable use of a qiē resource in the depths of the dense forest, threatening the peasants to cut down the ancient trees in the sea of trees and build a temporary deer barn as a base camp, Isaac's heavily guarded command post is set up in his field of vision, and the craftsmen of the surrounding order use sufficient wood to make one old siege ballista after another with excellent carpentry skills, which was then escorted by patrols to the siege positions along the coast for the battle against the defenders of the South Gate.

Whenever a group of laborers became exhausted and exhausted, they would be executed and burned on the spot by ruthless executioners, and another group of unlucky refugees would take over the work of their predecessors, and so on until all the prisoners in the camp were exhausted. According to the character of Polcha, he tried to escape early on. But the sergeants of the Order guarding the prison were as silent as ice, no matter how they screamed and cursed, they did not pay attention to a word. Although he had lock-picking tools at hand, even if he managed to open the cage, he could not escape the place without being detected, let alone defeat several well-armed heavy sergeants with his bare hands, and before he knew it, he was already in a dilemma, waiting for misfortune to befall him.

As for the reason why he got into such a situation, it was only because Shaw changed his plans at the last minute. Only Mo Cha managed to infiltrate the enemy camp, and in order to not attract too much attention, he disguised himself as a Drua soldier and appeared at the right time to continue the original plan. But Cha's luck was always bad, and when he found the woodcutter's house in a logging hut in the woods and disguised himself as a civilian, a patrol that happened to pass by immediately noticed the uninvited guest, and after a stinky beating, took him to the cave and imprisoned him. The original plan to rendezvous with Xiao Yi was also ruined.

"Captain. When will you come to my rescue............ Damn, why should I be so, it's better to hit a nail and die than to wait for death!"

The adjacent cage was lowered, and the next group of victims was undoubtedly the same cage he was in, and he finally observed the structure of the cage where he was being held, and found that the iron fittings at the bottom were not strong, and there were three locks at the bottom of the cage, and only two of them had to be pried open. You can use brute force to force down the bar, if the guard is standing below. There is also the possibility of an accident that causes them to be unconscious.

After deciding on his plan, he took several deep breaths, trying to stay awake to avoid being affected by nervousness, and quickly cut the ropes that bound his hands with a hidden knife when the prison guards went to escort the refugees, and took out the lock-picking tool from his arms and tossed it.

As a thief, Porcha has rich experience in picking locks, the old-fashioned cage iron lock was quickly opened twice, and the last lock was half opened, at this time the iron cage has creaked, giving people a feeling that it is about to disintegrate, he gestured to the cellmates to immediately grab the top iron grate, and kicked the surrounding iron bars, this move immediately attracted several guards to come to the bottom and give a sharp warning, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Porcha naturally will not miss it, raised his arms and slammed down at his feet.

The smash caused the bottom iron fence to collapse entirely, and Porcha's weight of about one hundred and eighty pounds, four Drua sergeants and a carpenter were instantly knocked to the ground by the iron fence, and he himself rolled to the side and lay dormant, signaling the refugees who were holding the iron bars to let go of their hands and fall one by one, and the successive impacts crushed these people unconscious, and a group of refugees who were originally ordered to work also joined the fleeing team, but alarmed the sentinels in the farther area to come and suppress them.

Porcha quickly got up from the ground, fantasizing about how to command the refugees to break through a path with him and escape into the depths of the sea of trees, but a black arrow flew from dozens of paces away, hitting the back of the head of the person in front of him, and the blood splashed his face, tearing him back from fantasy to reality, and he had to grab the body of the dead refugee to block a few crossbow arrows, but the dozen or so coolies who escaped with him had all fallen under the enemy's arrows, and had to temporarily hide behind the thick trees to avoid shooting.

This place is the outskirts of the base camp, there are countless dark troops who have rushed in due to the turmoil, dozens of heavily armored sergeants appear at the end of the field of vision, and the headache of the snipers of the Order has suppressed Porcha with fire at this time, the power of the sniper crossbow and longbow is enough to kill the unarmored person in an instant, seeing that the infantry is approaching, so that the weapons opened are pressed under the iron fence along with several guards, there is no chance to brave the rain of arrows to lift the iron fence to obtain a sword or spear, but he found a life-saving straw at this time, a poor weapon......

More of a tool than a weapon, he dragged a ten-pound craftsman's hammer from under a stack of planks, fortunately the big tree where he was hiding was wrapped around the chain that hung the cage, the end was at the height of his raised hand, once the key chain was destroyed, the five or six cages hanging on it would fall together to delay the enemy, Porcha's clever brain was spinning rapidly, it was impossible to find them one by one, and the sledgehammer in his hand just came in handy, without saying a word, he picked up the hammer and smashed it at the chain string on the trunk, the repeated impact made the tree shake frequently, throwing off bursts of fallen leaves and rain, accompanied by a golden light flashing in front of his eyes。

He should have a gold star in his eyes. When I hit the tenth hammer, I was a little out of breath, but fortunately, the chain was also broken at this time, and the second half of the chain that had been severed came out like a loach. One by one, the cages hanging from it fell, wounding the few Order's sergeants who had come to pursue them, and temporarily holding back the enemy troops, and Porcha had no time to think more, he threw his hammer and ran away, disappearing into the depths of the jungle with a puff of smoke, thanks to the riot he and the refugees had caused. In order to give us, who have been lurking, the opportunity to go deep into the enemy camp......

"Captain Augst, are you alright...... I didn't expect him to want to break the chains, and the shaking trunk almost threw us all off......"

"Thankfully, I was quick to respond...... I knew I should tell him in advance about his plan, but I was stupid enough to be caught. Miss Ben is waiting impatiently, Lemuel, it's our turn. ”

Shaw and I hid at the top of the same tree that Bourcha used as a bunker, after the violent shaking just now. Shaw, who almost fell, hung upside down with only his knee hooking on the branch. Porcha's actions should have exposed our tracks, but fortunately the enemy did not notice the densest position of the branches and foliage of the ancient trees, and the next development, only to see the lighter Drua snipers quickly pass through the bushes near the iron cage, and after some of the able-bodied Order sergeants worked together to remove the obstacles, they continued to assemble their troops to chase Porcha, and even did not hesitate to mobilize more than 30% of the guards around the camp, and the Drua craftsmen who were originally working in the workshop also withdrew to the camp. Except for a few sentinels who were holding their posts, the road from the open-air workshop to the Spear of the Underworld camp was almost empty.

The soldiers who might have detected movement at the top of the tree walked away. Shoey quickly shook himself up with the strength of his waist, casually threw down the rope tied to the side, we followed the rope from the blind spot of the main camp sentry's field of vision, and walked about a mile towards the forest path east of our position to leave the sea of trees, but Polcha, who left first, fled to the deeper area in the opposite direction, after discussing with Shoey, we decided to go directly into the enemy camp to collect some information, and try to destroy some facilities and then go to the depths of the sea of trees to find the whereabouts of Porcha.

The forest path to the east is still full of patrols, and the Drua soldiers who are clearly on duty have not given up their patrol work because of the riots in the camp, and the area to the north is the baggage depot of the camp, and there are some of the military rations plundered by the expeditionary force along the way, and more than 50% of the troops of the entire camp are also stationed. The main gate of the Spear of the Underworld with a red-background tombstone flag fluttered, but a sturdy wooden gate and a wall of sharp wooden stakes blocked our way.

"Lemuel, be quiet, someone's coming. ”

"I see, it's Isaac's horse team, I hope I don't hit him head-on......"

There were sentries outside the walls, and as we pondered how to get into the camp, a group of heavily armed Dread Knights arrived at the camp and passed near the bushes where we were hiding, and the two guards behind the outer wall immediately opened the door for the high knights. As there were more than a dozen brave knights in the enemy camp, with a chill in my back, I whispered my concern to Xiao Yi, but she was not afraid at all, and deposited the village rain knife behind her, like a playful wild cat, and slid under the gate where the cavalry had not yet fully lowered, and then there were two slight moans that could only be heard by those who were closest to her, and she had easily subdued the two guards with a hidden weapon, and reactivated the mechanism and raised the heavy wooden door.

Despite the resistance we encountered when we entered the interior without attracting much attention, the overconfident sentries did not sound the alarm at the right time, but chose to meet them head-on, but unfortunately they were easily subdued by Shaw's excellent kung fu, and after knocking out a few sentries, we found that the carpentry skills of the Druas were indeed excellent, and it took only half a day to build this simple wooden block, from the outer wall gate of the organ control zhì to several large watchtowers made of hardwood planks lay out this simple camp into an easy-to-defend defensive position, plus each tent was fluttering with tombstone flags, making it difficult to tell where the commander was。

We approached a tent with many braziers, and some wooden pillars hung oil lamps for the night, but when we heard the sound of several black-robed swordsmen rushing out of the nearby tents, each holding a sword-edged sword, blocking the way, Xiao Yi saw that the situation was not good, and immediately took back his sword from my hand, and slowly stepped back in a posture, and I also drew my broadsword and waved it in the air, while thinking about a plan to escape.

Shaw always seemed to be one step ahead of us, and she slashed at the nearest swordsman, and just in time to flick the half-unsheathed long knife to the other side, the blade shattered an unlit oil lamp, and the splash of kerosene soaked the blade of the Murayu knife more than four feet long, and then stabbed the nearby brazier to ignite the oil stain on the blade, and rushed forward to slash back the Drua swordsman who stood in her way.

"Lemuel, find a way out, let these fools dance in the fire!"

After forcing the enemy back into the tent, she swung the village rain knife in a great arc, and finally threw the flames from the blade, and the flames that rose to the top of the tent in one fell swoop, and the entire canvas and the wooden support for the tent turned into a sea of fire.
