Chapter 100: Sacrifice
The middle-aged man named Tom had blood on his face, and it could be seen that he was already tired, but even so, he still came out to guard the enemy.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of the guards here should not be as high as I imagined.
Brian frowned and observed Tom, who was also aware of Brian's presence.
"Master Cuenca, who is this?"
"Let's count it as our reinforcements. Cuenca touched his nose and replied.
"Reinforcements, is he alone?" Tom still showed a look of surprise when he heard the reinforcements, but when he saw that Brian was alone, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Brian naturally saw the change in Tom's expression, but he didn't mind, it was him, and he couldn't control his emotions between the ups and downs.
"Tom, how many of you are on this side now?" Cuenca naturally knew that his subordinates' words were very impolite, so he immediately diverted the topic.
"There are more than 30 brothers, none of whom are hurt. Tom said, hesitating for a moment.
Cuenca was keenly aware of the pause of the middle-aged guard captain, and he sighed in his heart and continued, "But their mental state is not very stable, right? ”
"That's right. Tom replied with a wry smile.
The prisoners were not kept in their cells at all times, sometimes they were sent to work, and sometimes they were tortured to extract confessions. After so many years, it is natural that there will be many accidents.
In fact, the last prison riot was half a year ago, when more than half of the fugitives on the first floor of the tower escaped from their cells and tried to attack the prison guards, but first, these prisoners were weak, and secondly, the guards on other floors of the tower also arrived in time, so every prison riot was resolved without danger.
But this time was different, the cause of the riot came from outside the tower. So don't say it's praying for someone from outside to come in for reinforcements, I'm afraid they can't protect themselves now.
And the prison guards here have one of the biggest concerns.
That's why the traveling mage Stuart failed to stop the group of men in black from entering the Tower, is he already dead, or has he betrayed the Saint-Nia Empire?
"Don't worry, Lord Stuart is still outside, and he hasn't done anything to discredit his identity, he is only temporarily trapped by the three Heavenly Mages of the Dark One Society. Brian seemed to see Captain Tom's concern and was the first to explain.
"Trapped by the three Heavenly Mages?" Tom asked, half-incredulously, and then suddenly said with wide eyes, "You just said that those men in black are members of the Dark One Society?
"Tom, do you know who their purpose is?" Cuenca also reacted suddenly, and asked anxiously.
"His name is Cameron, I don't know the specifics, but sir...... The warden called him a 'councillor'. Tom rubbed his temples and thought hard for a moment before he spoke.
"Councillor!" Brian said in shock as his pupils narrowed when he heard the word.
He didn't know the specific composition of the Dark Unification Association, but he knew that the highest status of the association was the president, followed by the councillor.
Brian never imagined that inside this tower, there would be a member of the Dark One Society. Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the Dark Unity Association has to find a way to enter the tower.
"Let's not talk about that, Tom, take us to the brothers first. Cuenca was the first to react and said to the middle-aged captain.
"Good. Tom answered, then turned and led the two of them deeper into the depths.
To Brian's surprise, Tom took him not to the torture chamber, but to a collapsed cell next to him.
Brian had crawled through a pile of rubble before reaching his destination.
That's when Brian saw the guards.
As he expected, the guards were all slightly injured at this time, but they immediately became agitated when they saw that the person Tom had brought in was actually Cuenca.
"Master Cuenca!"
"It's great that you're okay, Captain Cuenca!"
This surprised Brian, who really couldn't find out what kind of personality Cuenca had.
"What's going on in the control room now?" said Cuenca after calming everyone's emotions before turning to Tom.
He and Brian only knew about the situation from a few words, and Scar's words couldn't be trusted.
"The magic control room has been controlled by the 'Black Wolf' and their gang, and the other 2 prisoner gangs that can usually compete with the Black Wolf and them, one followed the Dark One Association, and the other seemed to be at odds with the Black Wolf, so they simply went to the West Side on the first floor to save their brothers. Tom said the terrain and the situation in the magic control room.
At this time, Brian already knew that the first floor of the tower was bounded by the magic control room, which was basically divided into two areas, east and west, and the area where he and Cuenca came from, that is, the east area, had completely fallen.
But the people of the Dark One Society were obviously not philanthropists, and they didn't intend to rescue the prisoners on the west side of the first floor, but went straight up to the upper floor of the tower to find their councilor.
This also gives Brian and others a rare opportunity.
Brian and the others certainly wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they quickly asked Tom to find a map of the magic control room, and the three of them studied it around the map.
"We can only choose to sneak attack. At this moment, Cuenca said to Brian.
Although there were more than 30 prison guards present, most of them were only the Silver Moon Mage, and the Blazing Sun Mage were Cuenca and Tom. It's a pity that both of them are now injured to varying degrees, so Brian has naturally become the highest one in the existing combat power.
And this kind of sneak attack battle must pay attention to a fast, accurate and ruthless, so Brian has undoubtedly become the best choice for this sharp knife.
"Be specific. Brian didn't say anything, his eyes still on the map.
"I'll have Captain Tom take a few nimble brothers to rescue the other guards who have been imprisoned. When the prisoners heard the movement, they rushed over to reinforce the area. And at this time, Brian and I can take the others to rush directly into the magic control room according to this route, where there is a defensive magic array that their prisoners can't open, and when they want to come back, it's not so simple. ”
Cuenca's finger ran a line across the map. It's a simple move, but Brian has a hunch that it will work, it's just ......
"Aren't you worried that if the prisoners don't come back to the magic control room, they'll kill all the imprisoned guards? You should know that the Dark Unification Society has very limited binding power on those people. Brian said, looking up into Cuenca's eyes.
"Of course I do. Cuenca looked Brian in the eye and replied without the slightest hesitation: "But in the current situation, if you want to rescue them first, it is obviously not a good choice." If they die because of this, I can only say, I'm sorry for them, but even so, even if it is me, I will choose to do it. ”
Brian looked into Cuenca's eyes, the kind of look he had seen in the eyes of many people, Leo, Coyce, Andy......
He didn't understand the meaning of the depths of those eyes before, but he knew now that it was called faith.
