Chapter 141: Total War (Part II)

"It's like a portal," the clear words pierced through the howling wind and into Santos' ears. The fat merchant looked around alertly, but only saw a sturdy desert elf near him, looking like an ordinary slave who was silent: "That's really a big deal, and it will definitely not be a problem to consume more than half of the lives of Nome City." ”

Like Santos, Brac was trapped in the city, and after the U-Mulsians took over the city, the desert elves disguised themselves as laborers and mixed with the wall-building team. As a sorcerer, the strong wind that pours into the ears of the human is an extension of his ears and eyes, and as a great samurai, the seemingly heavy labor is actually no more tiring than the training and training of his youth. Even jumping off this wall and breaking into the wind barrier set up by Master Usang to escape alone was a breeze for him.

It's just that he was alone when he came to Nome before, and he wanted to leave with a few people at this time. He had already become acquainted with the blacksmith who had sold him weapons in the first place, and the last time they had met for a drink, the old man had revealed the idea of opening a branch outside of Nome. As a desert elf, Bradch is well aware of the importance of this family craft of smelting iron and forging steel to the desert tribes. If Salem had a blacksmith's branch, not to mention the scimitars and swords of the samurai, even a few horseshoes and a few pots would greatly improve the lives of the tribal herdsmen. Therefore, this former Salem No. 1 powerhouse, the supreme master who defeated the generals on duty alone, came up with the idea of rescuing the blacksmith's family from the fallen Norm City.

This is not easy, the storm barrier set up by the Wusang mages after the siege of the city at night is the first big trouble to be solved, and it is definitely no problem for him to go by himself, but the old blacksmith can't rush out like him. If you want to break through the U-Sang defenders and the storm barrier outside the city walls, you have to have some "way". Unlike in a certain world, where "opening the door and pulling people" is a warlock's skill, the desert elf voice warlock in the ash world can only solve problems by using various sounds most of the time. Guided by the "Whispering Voice", Brach blends into the ranks of slaves repairing the walls. This coincides with Santos, who made the choice not to rely on a spell effect that resembles super-intuitive but to recognize some "old acquaintances".

In fact, as the owner of the Sand Rhino Caravan, who was well-known throughout the Medici Empire, the fat merchant who had been in the desert for more than 30 years knew many acquaintances, such as the owner of the Norm Underground Guild, a guy who had dealt with him since he was a young man and drove a donkey around the city to sell small goods. Santos knew exactly who was now capturing Nome, and his old acquaintances knew about it too. He is probably not the only one who wants to escape from the ascension to heaven. As the leader of the underground guild, he naturally knows many unknown secret passages in and out of Nome City, and the only problem for the merchant is how to "persuade" this acquaintance to share these resources willingly. After allβ€”

"Friendship is friendship, business is business," the head of the Imperial Envoy Governor, who was skilled in envoy slaves, would let the laborers on the city wall take turns to rest for a moment every six hourglass hours, chewing on the hard and slightly moldy old rice balls - after the capture of Nome, the food in the city was given priority to the advance legion, and all the food originally provided to the Duluo warriors on the ship was generously distributed to the slaves who served as food, and the leader of the underground guild of Nome City took a handful of water from the clay pot and swallowed the food, and continued: "How many years have the rule, I will not make an exception. Silver Kate, fur, spices...... Those who come do not refuse, and if you give enough things, you will naturally have a way. ”

Glancing at the governor who was patrolling the city with the Duluo slave warriors, Santos patted his linen shirt, which he could no longer see in its original color, and after turning out the empty pocket for his old acquaintance to see, he pouted and said: "The things are not here, they are in your house: an old wife, an unmarried daughter, two grandsons, three granddaughters, the urns of the sons, the dowry of the daughters, the whole family plus you, an old friend, a total of eight people, how about going out together?" I've heard that you also have a business in Beit, so you won't have to worry about making a living there. The fat merchant's words seemed to stir the heartstrings of the leader of the underground guild, and his hand gradually touched the hemp rope that was placed at his feet to carry the earth and stones, but the rough rope was trampled on the ground by one foot. Glancing around again, Santos brushed his forehead to wipe away the cold sweat: "I have no malice, after all, after dealing with each other for so many years, we all know the roots, and it is not surprising that we know what is going on in your family." Yesterday's turmoil is said to have killed a lot of good hands in the guild, and without the protection of people with strong martial arts, there is no way to take so many people out with old bones like you and me. ”

Although he has no capital, Santos still knows the weakness of his old friend - his two biological sons, a daughter and her husband have all died in order to compete for the position of the leader of the underground guild - and he has several children, unmarried daughters and old wives to take care of. His cronies and subordinates were all killed and fled and wounded when the Japanese attacked the city yesterday, and there was no manpower to protect them for a while, and there was no way for him to take his family out of the city safely. Although I don't know where to hide my family, there is still a safe place in Nome City now. He is now out to work as a slave, presumably also looking for an opportunity. Of course, Santos didn't have the ability to take them out, but the appearance of the desert elf Brach solved the problem.

Taking advantage of the guards' unpreparedness, the two old friends sneak away with their new friends, and after a few moments of wandering around Nome City, they bring their respective people together. The leader of the underground guild is indeed quite wealthy, and the original ragged slave appearance was immediately replaced by a magical item. Familiar with every alley in the city of Nome, he led the group to easily avoid the Usang soldiers patrolling the streets, and came to a small courtyard selling manure compost. Because of the strong smell, even the dutiful slave warriors avoided it when they were patrolling. There were so few residents in the nearby streets, and the merchants and dung pickers who had run the area had long since fled, so that a few camel beasts that had been screaming in fear from the siege of the previous night had been brought out of a secret underground stable.

"The cunning long-eared rabbit will dig three burrows to avoid the pursuit of sophisticated predators, and the clever miners will prepare two horses in the tunnels in case of unexpected landslides. "No wonder this guy can become the leader of the Norm Underground Guild, Santos can't help but secretly admire the explanation given by his old acquaintance. Blatch followed the instructions of the underground guild leader to lift the cover of a foul-smelling compost manhole, revealing an underground passage hidden beneath the heavy mud slabs. The secret passage was dim, but it could accommodate two horses walking side by side, and everyone only had to touch the wall and go all the way to the secret stronghold of the underground guild.

This was one of the main targets of the advance army of the Usang last night, and some traces of the fierce fighting can still be seen inside the stronghold. Just as they were about to open another secret door to escape, dozens of elite ninjas who had been in ambush for a long time jumped out of their hiding places at the same time and attacked. Thanks to Bradch's timely reaction, he grabbed the underground guild leader who was bending down to find the mechanism, so that he was saved from a sneak attack by the crossbow bolts. It was only when the desert elf warrior opened fire that he annihilated all the enemies in ambush and the group was able to evacuate safely.
