In the relatively calm inner city, Maffeo and his party were walking down remote alleys that were not easy to spot, in the direction of the castle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Maffeo speculated that Rose's target was still the castle, and that the last attack on the eastern part of the castle was just a temptation. However, now that they had basically attracted most of the city's troops, if they knew of a secret passage that would lead to the inner city, the consequences would be devastating. If he wants to get out of this turmoil, it is undoubtedly the most important thing to quell the riots as soon as possible, and the position that Maffeo chooses to stand on also makes him choose to end it.

The trio tried not to pass through any place with a large number of torch stands, but the closer they got to the castle meant that they were less and less likely to be discovered, and there would be a moment when they would have nothing to hide. "Hey, if we meet those guards, are you sure they won't attack us?" Sebastian asked Maffeo.

"I can't guarantee it, after all, they reject people like me. And in this riot, it's too easy to take out the guy who usually doesn't like your eyes by the way. Maffeo shook his head.

"Are you belittling yourself, do you think they have what it takes to easily defeat you as a god?" Sebastian laughed.

"Please, Sebastian, I can't chop off the heads of every single one of them, that will only make us more and more passive. Maffeo smiled wryly.

So, what did you decide to use to show your "sincerity"?

"I don't know, Sebastian, I don't know. Maffeo found it a headache just to think about these questions, let alone get him to answer them.

Sebastian paused and rubbed Maffeo's head indiscriminately. "You ought to have asked Captain Meyer for a permit when you left the barracks, a permit that would keep the guards away from you, even to ignore you for some disorderly crime. ”

Maffeo looked puzzled, "Even with such a "one-size-fits-all" license, I wouldn't think the guards would listen to me. ”

"Don't try without trying, and never rush to deny. ”

"It doesn't matter, I can't help it right now anyway. Maffeo bowed his head a little self-defeatingly.

Sebastian looked at the flickering castle, where the three of them were only a few hundred yards away, separated by only a square. But the sheer amount of open space in the inner city plaza made the gap a few hundred yards an insurmountable chasm, and the guards in the square, who had already entered a state of combat readiness, had seen every corner that might pop up, and two teams of guards were patrolling back and forth.

"All the roads are blocked, and there are no roofs to get around this square, which is a bit of a headache. Sebastian couldn't do anything for the time being, so he simply sat down and leaned against a wooden sign in front of a fruit stand.

"If the guys' goal is really the castle, then they have to pass through this square if they want to get there, maybe we can wait. Kohler spoke his mind.

"What do you mean?" Maffeo didn't understand Kohler's words.

"The simple meaning is that those guys are going to attack the guards in the square, and then we'll have two choices, rush through the square or join the fray. The first option, while able to pass through the square, doesn't make much sense, because if we do, we'll still be targeted by the guards. But the second option, I suppose if we helped the guards defend against the rebels, they wouldn't have attacked us, would they? Sebastian replied for Kohler, and the two of them clashed fists as if the day's quarrel had been a long time coming.

The first thing Maffeo felt was not that there was a solution to the problem, but asked, "Isn't there anything like a secret passage underground?"

"That's impossible, the underground network only exists in the outer city, and the inner city was blocked by the Imperial Army as early as the beginning of the establishment of Osent, and no one can break ground under the inner city. Sebastian replied.

"So it seems that this solution is feasible. Maffeo nodded, and he finally smiled now.

"Would you like an apple?" Kohler took three apples from the fruit stand behind him, the poor stall owner was chased away by the guards before he could close the stall, and in the current martial law of Aucente, they would not give any vendor in the inner city time to close their stalls. "Waiting is boring. He even handed two apples to each of them with his own hands.

"Thank you, Lord Thief. Sebastian smiled evilly and took the apple.

"At least we can still have an apple to eat, and hopefully the stall owner won't complain to the Oscent garrison for missing three apples when they reopen. Maffeo didn't hesitate to take the apple.

"It's funny. Kohler chuckled dryly and shoved the apple into his mouth.

The tedious wait was indeed tedious, and the only thing Maffeo could not understand about the turmoil was how the mercenaries of Orcent had obeyed Rose, who seemed to have promised them something very precious. So once the last line of the thirst for money is destroyed, they will wave their weapons at all those who stand in the way of their wealth.

Kohler's thoughts were confirmed after ten minutes, and the three of them were reluctant to think about how bad the situation was. The guards in the square had already fought the first mercenaries who rushed here, and the revolutionary guys followed suit. They often use two or three men against a guard, and when the other side has no time to care, they will slash their weapons into their bodies from the unsuspecting side. Obviously, their tactics were prepared in advance.

"Let's get on. Sebastian was the first to pull out his cutlass of his own scimitar.

"The carnival of pirates. Kohler spat and drew his weapon.

Maffeo was the last to rush out, and he deliberately tightened his suppressor before rushing out, and then he immediately reminded himself not to think about it all the time, which would only become his biggest obstacle. Knowing that distraction in battle often becomes a corpse, he doesn't want to end his life so early.

The three people who suddenly joined the battle from one side obviously wouldn't receive much attention, and the guards of the neighboring three people actually subconsciously waved their weapons and slashed at the three people, thinking that they were another wave of rebels. But the three of them then made what they saw as stupid - dodging their own attacks and not fighting back, instead taking aim at the rebels who were fighting them, and for a moment they thought that the three guys were burned out of their heads, but then they realized that the three guys were there to help them. So they stopped caring about trivial matters and tried their best to deal with the rebels in front of them.

Sebastian's fighting skills didn't deteriorate too much, and in the face of a young mercenary, he slashed his scimitar into the opponent's shoulder almost just by looking at him. The force exerted afterwards even pressed the opponent to his knees involuntarily, and his fighting style was very bloody, after drawing the scimitar that had slashed into his shoulder, he swung the knife and cut off the opponent's head, which was indeed like the fighting style of a former pirate.

While fighting, Maffeo did not forget to observe whether Rose and the others showed their traces, but he couldn't use too much energy to observe, because the guy in front of him, whether it was a mercenary or a revolutionary army, was not a rat who didn't know how to fight at all.

Compared to Sebastian, Kohler fell into a more troublesome situation at first. At least three revolutionaries and mercenaries surrounded him, and he tried not to show his flaws. After slashing a revolutionary army in front of him to the ground, Maffeo turned to help Kohler.

Attacking from behind is often best, so he easily pierces a guy with his greatsword, giving Kohler a chance by causing chaos. He rushed forward and slashed the blade of his opponent's sword with his scimitar, then slit the throat with a single sword. The rest of the guy was clearly a little undecided, and just before he could decide, Maffeo stabbed his greatsword into his chest.

The Imperial Army, which had a slight upper hand, began to become passive almost instantly, and all this was just due to the sudden killing of Hartman and his party. They seemed to have been waiting for their time for a long time, and their sudden appearance caught the Imperial army by surprise. When they were entangled with the enemy in front of them, they calmly attacked the backs of a large part of the people. Such a devastating method of warfare is indeed like Rose's style, and he has thrown all the power at his disposal into this turmoil, and he has gone crazy.

Hartman himself clearly had a clear purpose, and after watching Maffeo hack another of his companions to death, he stood in front of Maffeo. "Mr. Fry. ”

"Mr. Hartman. Maffeo responded to him.

"I should have killed you long before. If it weren't for that Rose guy stopping me, you'd be lying in a coffin with bugs. ”

"Interesting, Mr. Hartman. Something like you can be in charge of a lumber yard, I have to say the gods have looked away. Maffeo was equally provocative.

"Superfluous words don't make any sense. Hartman activated himself and swung his axe at Maffeo.

Sebastian suddenly appeared and stopped between the two, while he easily blocked Hartman's attack with his scimitar. "Your name is Hartman, isn't it?"

"Where did you pop up with the bug?" Hartman took a slight step back, then attacked again.

"Going to kill your bugs right away. Not to be outdone, Sebastian swung his scimitar and slammed it into his long axe, the sound of metal striking echoed through the square.

"If you have that ability. Hartman tried to push Sebastian back, but the latter never liked brute force guys. He stepped back a little and pretended to be unable to resist, then immediately dodged to make the opponent lose the target of exerting power, he boldly let go of the scimitar he was holding, and then pulled out the dagger at his waist and slashed his right arm. Before Hartman could react, he spun and kicked him in the chest to push him back, then picked up his cutlass. "Well, do you really know how to fight?"

"Cunning fellow......" Hartman clutched his chest, apparently struggling with the kick he was having a hard time right now.

"Maffeo, hurry to the castle. Sebastian ignored Hartman's taunts, instead reminding Maffeo behind him.

"Why?"

"It looks like their leader didn't show up here, so there's a good chance they've already made their way to the castle. ”

Maffeo finally realized this, and it was true that neither Rose nor Margarita were here. Now that Hartman has broken through to the inner city, there is no reason why Rose, as the leader, and Margarita, their strongest fighter, should not be in the inner city. Besides, Margarita didn't join the fight here, she could easily take out anyone present. Since she didn't show up here, it meant that she had a more important purpose.

"Be careful, Sebastian. Maffeo turned and galloped in the direction of the castle.

"I will. Sebastian laughed, raising his left hand and making a disdainful gesture to Hartmann, who was completely enraged by him.
