Chapter 109: Abandoned Dwarven Pit
After separating from Celine, Baroque rode the frost wolf Lark to the opposite north. For the sake of his people's safety, he must lure the dangerous wind scouts as far as possible.
Rak's speed was as fast as the wind, and they quickly turned back outside the city of Padya. Baroque didn't know about the chaos that took place here, but he saw countless citizens fleeing from the city in a hurry, and even Paddington's city guards killing each other. It was a good place to fish in troubled waters, and he was about to sneak in, when he suddenly saw a group of soldiers in armor very different from those of the Paddington at the gates, guarding a nobleman as he walked out.
Seeing the aristocratic man, Baroque turned around and ran away, wishing to run as far as possible! Although he did not know that the aristocratic man was the Foreign Minister of Fiodore of the Samoan Empire, the fluctuations in Fiodore's body made him hate and fear............ Damn, is there already a flood of phantom armor in this world? Why do you have a phantom armor on a random person?
To be able to kill Earl Tipton, it was a complete accident. Because although Odin's Thunder Eagle Phantom Armor can be said to be a very good kind of armor, it is a pity that the Odrians are more unlucky, Odin's Thunder Eagle's biggest attack force is thunder and lightning, but the purple thunder and lightning power in the Baroque Soul Sea can devour all thunder and lightning, so he will kill Tipton with shit luck.
The breath on the man in the distance was thick and heavy, it was the power of the earth system, and Baroque was simply sent to death if he approached it.
Suddenly, Baroque shrank up deeply, and hid in the corner of the city wall with Rak, who had turned into a dog, in his arms, and did not dare to breathe. Others didn't notice it, but he, a caring person, clearly saw a looming figure flapping his wings in mid-air, and the wind scout also came to Padya City, and was attracted by the aristocratic man with the phantom armor belt in front of him.
Xu found that it was not the person he was looking for, and the wind scout spun around in mid-air. Then he flew towards the city. Baroque immediately turned and fled, heading straight to the north. When he arrived in the wilderness, he rode on Rak, who had turned into a frost wolf. Don't run for your life. The ghost only knew how far the wind scout could detect the wolf's breath.
Perhaps as fate would have it, Baroque and Lack did not know how far they had gone. As they walked through a wooded field, they saw a cavalry chasing a wagon. The Baroque didn't want to meddle in his own affairs, what did it have to do with him whether humans died or not? But with a cry of despair, Baroque could not remain indifferent in any way!
"Ivan, Ibrahimovic, Izzy...... "This is the voice ......of Queen Susan, how could she be in the wilderness of the north?"
Patting the back of Rak's neck, the Frost Wolf scurried toward the carriage in understanding. The cavalry had already surrounded the carriage. Baroque was not confident enough to think that he could fight against more than a hundred elite cavalry, he directly took out a dozen magic scrolls from the storage ring, which was almost all the scrolls in the ring of Prince Alvin, tore them without hesitation, and then threw them at the pair of cavalry.
Sharp thorns suddenly appeared on the ground, and one after another fire dragons rushed out, with the help of several wind tornadoes, blocking the cavalry, and even because they were caught off guard, more than a dozen cavalry fell off their horses. He was then trampled to death by his companions behind him. Baroque rushed to the carriage and saw the tragic scene.
The three little princes were killed in the carriage by random arrows, and Susan sat down with her eyes blank. She's gone mad with grief!
Holding Susan by the waist and hugging Lack's back, he paused for a moment, then raised his hand again, and put the bodies of the three princes into the storage ring, immediately urging Lark to flee. ..................
Suddenly someone appeared to stir up the situation, causing the Hansa to slip away, and killing more than a dozen brothers, and the knight leader was furious, brandishing his whip and whipping his subordinates beside him. Drive them away from the magic-ravaged confines, and see the Baroque in the distance. Hideous order: "Chase, I'm going to kill that bastard with my own hands." ”...
The cavalry of the Duchy of Hanseasa was in hot pursuit. Although the speed of the Frost Giant Wolf was much faster, the durability of the Demon Beast was still not comparable to that of the horse, and after running for about a few dozen miles, Rak was already panting and drooping his tongue, and his speed slowed down significantly, while the pursuers behind him were gradually approaching.
"Go to the mountain on the right, there is a remnant of the dwarves in the mountain, bring them in, you are going to kill them for me, Baroque, damn Baroque, you owe me...... You said my son would be one of the kings of Paddington, but now that they are all dead, you have betrayed your promise...... You damn orc owe me the lives of three children......" At some point, Susan regained her senses, her eyes blood-red and her hideous expression made even Baroque a little stunned.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to Padeya, but I'll fulfill your wish, and as long as those people dare to follow them into the mine ruins, they won't leave alive. Baroque was not prepared to provoke a mad woman who had just lost her child, and although he was even a little baffled, he agreed to Susan.
Soon arriving at the foot of the mountain, this time finally showed the advantage of the frost wolf Lac, whose wide, soft flesh-cushioned claws were able to easily weave through the craggy rocks, almost easily entering the halfway up the mountain. Baroque deliberately waved defiantly at the pursuers at the foot of the mountain, and then led Susan into the abandoned mine.
A lowly orc was really not seen by the cavalry of the Duchy of Hansea, and the knight leader issued an order, leaving a few people to guard the horses, and everyone else put down the knight's spear, threw away the cavalry shield, and even removed the strong and heavy armor from his body, wearing only light leather armor, holding a two-handed sword and following into the abandoned mine.
Susan's eyes were red, her mouth was muttering to herself unconsciously, and she didn't know what to say, and the pain of losing her child had left her in a state of half-madness, and Baroque had to carry her through the low pits of the mines. Once again, Lark was transformed into a dog, leading the way with the wolf's keen sense of smell.
To kill an elite human cavalry hundred-man squad in the open area of the plains, even the Baroque is not capable of doing it today. But this kind of narrow and dark cave is a different story entirely, the eyes of the orcs can see at night, and the earth dog Rak hides in the darkness and is inconspicuous, Baroque has the confidence to deal with the human cavalry, as long as they dare to enter, do not want to get out alive.
Although only heard in legends, dwarves have never been seen. But the abandoned pit in front of you amazed the Baroque. I can't help but be full of curiosity about this race, known as the [Son of the Mountain]. The deep passages beneath the ground are as dense as spider's webs, and while the Baroque requires a slight head down to pass, it is said that the dwarves are one-third shorter than humans. It's already spacious. What is particularly remarkable is that the pit seems to have hollowed out the entire belly of the mountain. But there is no supporting beam in the dense passage, and what supports this pit is completely the stone pillars or stone ridges that have been deliberately set aside by the dwarves in the pit itself, and there is no trace of collapse here in the past so many years, and the dwarves' proficient research on the structure of the rock cave is really breathtaking.
Rak the Dirt Dog explored the path ahead, but found no unexpected creatures. Baroque followed it and scurried downward, finding what appeared to be a cave room where the dwarves once lived. Aside from a thick layer of dust, the stone tables and chairs were intact, and it was clear that the dwarves would not have removed the heavy objects when they evacuated.
Still confused, Baroque shook his head, took out an animal skin blanket and threw himself on a stone bed, helping Susan to sit down. Then he told Lark to take good care, and a sneer appeared on his lips, and he turned his head back the way he came............ It's time for the chasing cavalry to see blood...
The Hansa cavalry was only a short distance into the pit. I hesitated. They weren't orcs after all, and they couldn't see in the dark, and the depths of the darkness were unsettling. With a cold face, the knight leader ordered to find branches and light torches. Keep searching. If this damned orc is not found and killed, his majesty will undoubtedly be seriously damaged, which is unacceptable to him as a nobleman.
Cutting down a few oily pine trees and quickly lighting torches, the knight leader divided everyone into small teams and searched through a pit entrance. The tunnel was so narrow that the soldiers had to drag a long line, and the only one who could see the road ahead was the soldier at the front of the line.
When the Baroque silently returns from the underground. Hiding in a hollow in a tunnel, I saw a team passing through a fork in the road more than ten feet in front of me. He pulled out a bundle of short throwing spears from the storage ring. Pick up one of them and wait until the last soldier of the squad walks through the fork in the road. Baroque smirked and shook his metal spear and threw it out. With an abrupt scream, the soldier behind him was pierced through the chest with a spear.
Hearing the screams of his companions, the people in front immediately turned around in a panic, but because the tunnel was narrow, it was inconvenient to dodge. The Baroque spear was thrown incessantly, screaming one after another, and two more soldiers died tragically. Now the people behind have learned to behave...... It didn't matter how cruel they were, they turned up the corpses of the dead warriors to block, rushed out of the fork in the road, and rushed towards the Baroque with a roar. Baroque turned into the tunnel next to him, turned left and right, and disappeared in a few moments.
In fact, in this cobweb-like messy environment, unless it is a dwarf, it is difficult for other people to remember the route, and it will not be long before they get lost. Baroque only remembered the stone chamber from the entrance to the place where he had placed Susan, so he didn't dare to wander around the distance, otherwise it would be troublesome to get lost. It is precisely because of this that when he attacked several times in a row and killed more than twenty soldiers, the knight leader also discovered the pattern of the appearance of orcs.
Around the pothole, which is tentatively called the main line, the knight leader assigned his men to occupy several relatively open meeting points, and then squeezed through the hole inch by inch. Disappointed, Baroque found that he could no longer take advantage of sneak attacks, and if he fought hard, he would probably be injured himself...... After all, this place is too narrow for humans to wield, and his sturdy and burly orc is even more difficult to move, and he can't even wield a battle axe. I had no choice but to retreat into the depths, preparing to take Susan and leave, and then choose a suitable ambush location again.
Baroque underestimated the cunning of the knight leader, and during several encounters with the orcs, the knight leader secretly sprinkled a bag of powder on Baroque's body. Baroque didn't notice anything unusual because of the dust in the tunnel, and shortly after he left, the chief knight had the torches removed...... On the tunnel where Baroque fled, it was stained with bits and pieces of faint fluorescence............ All the knights have a cruel smile!
