The fighting broke out earlier than Venal had expected, and he was forced by the noisy guards to drag his tired body to the city gates, even before he could sleep soundly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong?" Venal asked, reining in the galloping horse and turning to the soldier on call who was nearly knocked down by him.

"My lord, a group of traitors who tried to open the gates of the city have captured the western passage and are about to reach the winch room. The heralds had hurried to inform Lord Ravallen. ”

"Hell!" Weiner yelled, eagerly looking around the gate square, where many soldiers were on standby, but these soldiers were better suited to fighting on the vast battlefield, and the cramped passages and winch rooms were clearly not the ideal place for them to show their skills. And if the gates are unfortunately opened, these soldiers will be an important force in the defense line of the city gate square. "We can't wait for Lavalen to come, so go tell Bernie to let the Dragonslayer go up the eastern passage and guard the corridor. Anyone who dares to approach the gates and throw axes and spears at me to death!" Venal explained, quickly dismounted and drew his sword and rushed to the entrance of the Western Pass.

"Our Commander, I can't rush to death. An icy voice came from behind Weiner, and he looked back to meet Cynthia's gray-green eyes. "You owe me this time. Cynthia pulled out her throat stab and pulled a sword flower, and as she spoke, she rushed into the Western Passage before Vernal.

The east and west passages are an important part of the city gates, with two narrow and spiraling staircases spanning several floors, connecting the living quarters and reserve rooms of the gate guards. At the end of the passage is the winch room that controls the opening and closing of the gate, with three winches each in the east and west and connected by a corridor for vigilance and defense. The traitors occupying the Western Passage deliberately extinguished the torches on the walls, and Venal and Cynthia carefully groped their way through the gloomy passages with the help of the glimmer of the poisonous fire. They were attacked for the first time on the third floor of the passage, and three swordsmen from Frozen Fire lay in ambush in the armory, and when Venal passed by, they suddenly broke through the door, and Venal, who could not dodge, was knocked into the wall opposite the door.

"Die, son of a bitch!" a swordsman shouted as he swung his sword at Venal, only to be deflected away by the arc of poisonous fire. Weiner then pumped back the poisonous fire with force, and the blade slashed the swordsman's throat neatly. Cynthia stabbed another swordsman in the chest from behind with lightning speed. The swordsman, caught between the two dead companions, turned to deal with Cynthia, and Venal swept his legs with a sword, causing him to kneel in front of Cynthia with a wail, and was shot in the face by the flintlock handcuffs, and his head instantly shattered like a rotten watermelon falling to the ground, and his brain flowed.

"This doesn't work at all, it always stains my clothes. Cynthia said with a hint of anger, kicking the headless corpse in front of her and throwing the Shattered Flame into the armory in disgust.

Venal glanced at the swordsman who had been assassinated by Cynthia and quipped, "Looks like you're going to have to rename it 'Chest Thorn' in the future." ”

"That has to wait until it's worn one hundred and seventy-two breasts, and it can't go through its throat until then. Cynthia walked to the front indifferently and turned back and said, "Hurry up, I still hope that the green guy in your hand can follow the way." ”
