Chapter 402: Prison
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Ryan, who was deeply shocked by the magic of the level 7 mage Dai Mo.
At this time, all those who are able to stand are members of the messenger team. The robbers who left behind their lives fled into the canyon in fright, and those who did not flee were already exterminated by the swordsmen. Everyone in the envoy team was speechless, staring blankly at the big crater more than fifty meters away, unable to accept this fact.
Rui's shock was even greater, and this magic of Daimo reminded Ryan of the missiles in his previous life, once it hit the target, it would cause devastating power. Although Ryan is also a magician, the concept of magic in his mind is still at the stage of being similar to a small gun and a small cannon, and this time Ryan finally realized that the original powerful magic can also reach the level of long-range missiles.
Ryan was empowered, completely subverting the understanding of magic. At this moment, Ryan was inspired, and he suddenly had an epiphany, and his mind deepened his understanding of magic, not only how some powerful magic should be performed, but also some small tricks in the ordinary application of magic.
It can be said that the magic that Ryan used before was all learned and performed step by step according to the magic secrets, and there was no change in rigidity, and there was no problem in dealing with people who were weak and did not have a deep understanding of magic, but it was easy to be cracked when dealing with people who were strong and had a deep understanding of magic. Imagine, when using those regular magic against those who know magic very well, just cast the magic, the other party can do some targeted responses according to the characteristics of the magic, and it can be easily cracked.
Ryan after seeing Demo's magic. With some new understandings and new applications, he felt that his understanding of magic had completely changed, no longer sticking to magic secrets, no longer rigidly performing magic, and suddenly had more awareness of using magic flexibly. Awareness is very important, and with this awareness, Ryan will have the potential to continue to improve in the future.
A moment later. Someone finally recovered from their stunned state, and some swordsmen ran forward to check on the big pit and found it deep inside. Only a few pieces of limb flesh were found. Apparently, Vapefuri was shattered by this powerful magic bombardment, and died a terrible death.
I didn't expect Vapefuri, a master with the strength of a level 7 peak swordsman. was killed in such a way, but dying in such a vigorous way would not disgrace his identity.
The dust of the battle fell, and the messenger team did not rush into the canyon, but rescued the wounded swordsman first. In this battle, the messenger team also paid a certain price, three swordsmen died, and more than thirty swordsmen were injured, fortunately, these injured swordsmen were not seriously injured. Not life-threatening. On the bandit side, the melee combat and the defense of the city wall added up to more than 300 casualties.
This result was unexpected by some people, who originally thought that the swordsmen of the envoy team were all intermediate swordsmen or above, and most of the robbers were at the level of low-level intermediate swordsmen. This battle should be an easy victory for the swordsmen of the Messenger team, with no damage. However, the result is still more than 30 casualties, which is incomprehensible. However, it is not surprising that those with a lot of experience will naturally exert their strength when the life of a robber is threatened with death. And. Some fierce robbers, before they die, choose the same move, then naturally it is easy to cause damage to the swordsmen of the messenger team.
Among the crowd, the level 7 sword master Cairo was more seriously injured, and after he was injured before, he stubbornly refused to retreat to heal his injuries. Now he came to heal his wounds, but because of excessive blood loss, his injuries worsened, and Cairo had to withdraw from the battlefield with those seriously injured swordsmen to heal. Level 7 Sword Master Botu was also injured, but his injuries were not serious, minor internal injuries, and after taking healing medicine, there was basically no problem.
After dealing with the wounded swordsman, the messengers began to assemble in formation and attack the canyon. At this time, the city wall was no longer defended by any bandits, and the messengers easily attacked the canyon.
The layout of the canyon is relatively simple, there is a hall in the middle, which looks like a place where the robbers gather, and the others are houses of different sizes, there are hundreds of them, scattered in the canyon.
The messengers met no resistance and entered the hall without incident. At this time, there were no robbers in sight, and the robbers in the canyon were either hiding or had fled.
There are some old people and children in the canyon, and it is estimated that they will not run away, so they should be hiding, which can be seen from the fact that many houses have closed their doors tightly.
On the other side of the canyon, there is also a city wall and a city gate, and it is estimated that the robbers who fled into the canyon during the battle should have fled to the grassland through the other gate. The envoy team did not send people to guard the other gate before, so it was impossible to stop these fleeing robbers, but I think the envoy team didn't care about these ordinary robbers who escaped, the most important bandit leader had been killed, and this bandit gang could be regarded as exterminated.
Subsequently, the envoy team set up camp in the hall as a base camp, and sent several teams to search all parts of the canyon to exterminate the robbers who resisted, and drove the robbers who did not resist and their families to the hall to concentrate.
Ryan was arranged to be the leader of a search team, originally, Ryan was not very willing to do these jobs, but because he had shown strong strength before, resisted Wapefuri, and was the hero who finally solved Wapefuri, many swordsmen were very convinced of Ryan. In addition, at this moment, the two level 7 swordsmen were injured, and there was no strong swordsman to lead the team, so at the request of Botu, Ryan had no choice but to agree.
The work of leading the team search is not difficult to do, Ryan only needs to take the team away, and all the specific work is naturally done by subordinate swordsmen who are very skilled in how to do it.
The canyon is very large, and it will take some time to search for each house, but fortunately, everyone in the canyon already knows that the canyon has been breached, and when the search team kicks in the door, the robbers and their families who are hiding inside immediately surrender. Those who stayed and did not flee did not want to resist.
Unconsciously, the search team came to the depths of the canyon, in front of a cave, the entrance of the cave was sealed with an arm-thick iron barrage.
"What is this place?" Ryan asks a bandit who has been forcibly captured by a search party to act as a guide.
"This ...... This is a prison. The robber guide replied with a slight stammer, looking a little nervous.
"Prison? Haha, you robbers' den really have everything. Ryan couldn't help but be sarcastic, and then continued to ask, "Who is locked up inside?" ”
"My lord, inside...... Closed is the kidnapping ticket back to the merchants, and...... Some errant robbers. ”
Ryan nodded, and immediately understood, he split the iron door with a sword, and then left two swordsmen to guard the door and lead the other swordsmen inside.
The prison was diagonally downward, a large cave jutting out of the mountain, and the passages inside the prison, like those elsewhere, were very narrow and dim.
There was no one in the prison, and it was estimated that the prison guards had already escaped, so Ryan and the others walked into the prison without encountering any resistance.
The inside of the prison was small, with seven or eight small cells scattered to the left and right, and the doors of the cells were locked with stout iron bars. It's normal for a prison to be small, it's already inconceivable for a small robber's den to have a prison, so should it have a big prison?
Through the iron door, you can clearly see the conditions inside the cells inside the prison, two of which are empty. From the situation inside, it can be seen that the two cells are indeed not locked up, and it is not that the people inside took the opportunity to escape.
In the other cells, there were two businessmen-looking men in one cell, whose clothes were relatively intact except for a little dirty, and there were no injuries on their bodies, but they had lost some weight. As soon as they saw Ryan dressed in a different outfit from the robbers, and a group of uniformly dressed and army-looking swordsmen behind them, they immediately rushed to the iron gate and shouted, "My lord, hurry up and save us, we were captured by the robbers." ”
These two people haven't figured out who is in front of them, so they called for help like grasping a life-saving straw, obviously these kidnapped businessmen, although they were not injured, but the mental damage was very great.
Ryan casually slashed his sword, and the thick sword suddenly split the lock of the iron door, and said, "Don't be afraid, you are free." Ryan then ignored the two men who rushed out of the cell and thanked them vigorously, and walked to the other cells.
In the other four cells were held a man who knew at first glance to be a robber, dressed in the same clothes as the other robbers, but all of them lay on the floor, covered in scars, the kind that could easily be distinguished as those of torture. The four cells were for the wrongdoers of the bandits, and the punishment they received showed how harsh Wapefuri usually was.
Ryan was not interested in paying attention to the robbers in the cells, and he motioned for the swordsmen who followed him to rescue the robbers, and walked to the last cell.
The exterior of this cell is the same as that of other cells, but the people inside are a little different.
An old man in his sixties, leaning against the wall, his eyes closed as if he was dead. The old man's hair and beard were long, and half of his face was covered in a mess, and his clothes were ragged, so tattered that only strips of cloth hung on his body, revealing his body full of scars. There were some blood stains on the body, and judging by the fact that the blood stains were dry, these wounds were left not long ago, and they would not last more than a day.
"Look, this person has been locked up for a long time, I don't know who it is? What is the deep hatred with Wapefuri? Rui Anxin secretly judged.
Suddenly, the old man, who seemed to be dead, opened his eyes gently, as if he was weak, but the way he looked at Ryan made Ryan's body shock: "This look is as sharp as the eyes of a level 7 swordsman." (To be continued.) )
