Section 15 Dungeon Siege
With the help of the orcs, they are much more cautious when they enter the dungeon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Together, the two of them climbed up the corner to the roof, through the carved lattice windows, and along the rafters into the roof of the cell, carefully resting on the beams. They move lightly and silently. As if in this small space they simply did not exist. Their caution also brought them good fortune, and the guards at their feet were unaware of their whereabouts.
They hid in the rafters of the beams, watching closely the movements of the oathbreakers and guards in the prison hall, observing every moment of the environment.
Six Oathbreakers, dressed in strong, sturdy dragon bone armor, formed a line of defensive walls in front of several iron prisons. They held long, pointed spears in their hands and had antlers on their heads, and their faces could not be seen clearly from a bird's-eye view. A fire was lit in the center of the hall, and the flames of thick wood illuminated the room.
Rex carefully observed every detail in the hall, he didn't want to miss any place in his eyes, he wanted to condense the terrain in his mind so that they could evacuate safely when they rescued people.
In addition to the Oathbreakers, the guards in the hall also have two dark-skinned Wood Elves. They were guarding the inside of the gate, dressed in black mage robes. Judging from their costumes, the two Wood Elves belonged to the High Mages, and it was not surprising that Rex believed that they were a formidable group of enemies. He was secretly glad in his heart that he hadn't pushed the door open just now, otherwise he would have been injured or killed by the magic of the wood elves.
Caterina silently counted them in her heart, and found that there were only eight of them in the prison, so she said to Rex, "The robber leader is not here, there are only eight people, now is the best chance to save my sister, let's go down." ”
"Wait!" Rex waved to stop her.
"What's there to be suspicious?" asked Katarina, "there are only eight people down there, and you see it, this is our chance!"
"It's incredible, don't you think?" said Rex, "this is a prison, it's a very important place for robbers, and it's only guarded by eight people, don't you think it's strange?"
Caterina looked down again, "My eyes don't squint, there are indeed only eight of them, and it does feel a little strange after you remind you!"
"We'll watch a little bit more to make sure there are no traps here. Then go and get rid of these guards, and you can easily rescue your sister. Rex said.
"Alright, do as you say, we'll wait!" Caterina pouted, a little displeased.
An hour had passed, and the candles in the lanterns on the walls were burning to the bottom, and the wicks were already crooked, sizzling in the wax. The oathbreakers were not standing as straight and upright as they had just been, and some had already begun to snort. The Oathbreaker, standing in front of the fourth cage, began to chat with his companion next to him.
"You know, two years ago, when I was traveling in Dragonbone City, the home of the orcs, I met an old warrior who was a chatter. We had been drinking together in a tavern, and he kept recounting his adventures in the Tamriel Mountains and encounters with ghouls. To be honest, I just listened to it as a story and didn't take it to heart. ”
"Orcs are faithful and simple creatures, and what they say is not as rough as what they have to look, and they can be trusted. I heard that ghouls do exist. Said his companion beside him.
"Later, when I first encountered the undead bones in the Tamriel Mountains, I was convinced that the orcs were true, and I was not so afraid of them, for I had already understood. The oathbreaker said.
"Ah! It's been so quiet lately that I haven't had a chance to travel. ”
"yes, it's calmer than I thought, damn calm, I miss my adventurous life. ”
The two of them have a chat that they don't have a match. The two wood elves didn't seem to like these wanderers, and it was completely felt by the disdainful look in their eyes when they looked at each other. However, the Wood Elves also seem to be a little tired of this overly safe environment, and the tired look is a good indication that the current work does not motivate them. Staying here is just to prevent accidents from happening at a certain moment.
While everyone in the hall is in a state of calm and comfort, two dangerous people will cause an uproar here, breaking the calm that everyone feels tired. Prompting them to re-engage in intense battles without slackening their nerves, in order to cope with the events that they had not been preparing for a long time, and which were now about to happen.
After waiting long enough, Rex decided that the environment below would not pose a threat to them, and he told Caterina that it was time to act. Caterina jumped from the rafters where she was hiding, and stood in front of the oathbreaker like a nimble leopard. Then, Rex rolled on the ground next to her back.
"Ahh
The oathbreakers also rallied from their loose state, clenched their weapons, and laid siege to the two of them.
"Hah!" one of the wood elves shouted, only to see a thin white light emanating from her palm, shooting straight at the two of them. Caterina reacted quickly and rolled forward a few steps in a bent turn, dodging the radiance's attack. Rex wasn't so lucky, he used his arm against his face to prevent the light from hurting his eyes. The light penetrated his arm, forming a blue arc of electricity around his body. In an instant, Rex felt paralyzed all over his body, and his arm was barely under the control of his brain. He tried to escape from the range of the white light as soon as possible, but was surprised to find that his legs were already unconscious, and he almost couldn't feel them.
Rex cried out in pain, the arc completely conquering its foes. The other Wood Elf was also ready to attack, gathering energy in the air with her right hand, and Caterina saw a storm-like ball of air rise from her palm.
"It's terrible. She thought. "If Rex is injured by the lightning of the Wood Elves, then we will die here, and we must help him now. Caterina immediately pulled out the dagger pinned to her waist and threw it at the wood elves who were attacking Rex.
The wood elf was unleashing the terrible thunder and lightning to her heart's content, and she panicked at the dagger that suddenly flew by, and when she realized that she could not dodge, she stopped her attack and jumped to the side. Rex finally broke free from the light's grip, and he crawled on the ground gasping for breath.
"Hey, are you alright?" asked Caterina with concern.
Rex didn't speak, waving his hand to show that he was okay.
"Well, then be careful, you won't be so lucky next time. ”
"Thank you. Rex gasped.
Caterina took her short sword and struck at the elf who was gathering energy. Rex quickly stood up as well, drawing the Nightingale's Blade. Stared at the wood elf who had attacked him just now.
When the Wood Elf turned back to attack Rex again, he found that he had learned to be agile from the battle he had just learned. Although she confidently shot a few lightning bolts at him, she found that she could no longer hit him. His movements became more dexterous, and the distance between him and the Wood Elves grew closer.
The Wood Elf panicked, unable to think of firing any offensive magic at Rex, and she began to retreat, even preparing to run away. Rex was incredibly fast, and in the process of chasing the wood elves, he easily dodged several lightning bolts fired by her. Within close range of her, he swung his sword and slashed at the Wood Elf's face. "Ahh
Dealing with the Wood Elves, Rex looked back at Caterina as she stepped back step by step, the elven mage's magic failing to hit her once. The Wood Elf was driven crazy by Katarina's teasing, and she roared and screamed as she aimlessly released the airball in her hand.
During the whole process, the oathbreakers stood calmly and watched the battle, and they did not participate in the battle between the two sides. The lonely Wood Elves were killed by Rex and Caterina. At this time, the oathbreaker who was watching the battle came over with a look of contempt, ready to stop the two of them.
"Open the door, open the door. At that moment, a shrill roar came from outside the hall.
"Boom, boom" was another hurried slamming sound. The loud noise caught everyone's attention. Rex and Caterina looked at each other suspiciously, speculating if the bandits had arrived, or if their leader, Satya, had come to the dungeon. In short, the whole situation is starting to turn a disadvantage for them.
The lead oathbreaker shouted "What's going on?" out the door.
The man outside the gate replied, "Something happened, someone broke into the stone tower and killed all the brothers, and the brothers in the two towers in front were killed." ”
"Ahh
"All the brothers outside were killed. ”
Hearing this, the oathbreaker was so surprised that he could barely keep his mouth shut. Turning his head to look at Rex and Katarina, he hurriedly pulled the bolt of the giant door, and the two doors were quickly pushed open by the people outside. Hula, dozens of robbers poured in from outside the door. They looked anxious and nervous, and for a moment they filled the halls of the prison like fish caught in fishing nets.
The two were besieged in the middle, and the robbers speculated about their identities. When they found the corpse of the wood elf mage on the ground, they immediately understood. The danger that frightened them and feared them stood before them. Although the robbers were afraid of the two invaders in their hearts, in the process of confronting them, they still strengthened their courage and mustered up courage, as if they had an unforgivable hatred for each other, and looked at the trapped two people with vicious eyes.
Even if they don't have a deep friendship with their dead comrades, they still have to put on a deep hatred so that they can contribute to their group without the fate of betrayal.
