Unlike experienced veterans.

The other miners who had followed him to clean up the sentry in the mine were very excited and excited at this time, especially after seeing the blood, their state changed significantly.

The miners really don't have much affection for the soldiers who are stationed on the watchtower of the mine every day, and from time to time threaten and target themselves with guns in their hands, not to mention that these guys are not residents of Overwatch and the surrounding area at all, but have already joined the Black Sun Society and followed them to the "Inspectorate".

In the eyes of these simple people, who still have a considerable degree of affection for the former St. Steele dynasty, these guys who have begun to work for the Black Sun Society are simply traitors to the kingdom, destroyers of national and national stability, and lackeys under the command of those evil gods and beliefs.

The cold north has given these ordinary people a steely character, and in exchange, they have lost some patience.

Therefore, when dealing with their enemies, the inhabitants of the North will always resort to methods that may seem ruthless and even ruthless to outsiders.

Even Hadera, the mine supervisor, who was in a clumsy body and had previously shown considerable hesitation in this matter, was now extremely resolute.

Like the veteran, he sensed something was wrong in the mines, but the arrow was on the line, and the original plan had to be carried out.

Looking at the bodies of the two Associated Soldiers, who had been stuffed into the small roadside carts by the miners and covered with scraps, Old Hadra could only tell himself repeatedly in his heart that this was the only way for the young people in the mine to survive, and the only thing they could do now.

Soon, the news that "the obstacles have been cleared" was successfully communicated to the miners who had already assembled.

With the help of the veterans, they managed to eliminate several overseers who were guarding the tool warehouse, and succeeded in seizing some of the tools in the warehouse and the weapons on the overseers.

It was also thanks to the baron's dedication to the overseers during the day that they were so tired, and it is worth mentioning that when the miners managed to get behind the scenes, they were even complaining about the decisions and orders of the Baron Fiorlando.

In this way, under the cover of night, the assembled miners picked up all kinds of tools, and they silently made their way along the cleared roads in the mines, towards the place where they usually worked, and today, the mine that always made them feel great pain would become an important way for them to escape.

Everything went very smoothly.

However, the veteran soldier standing guard near the entrance of the mine with the captured crystallized gun in his hand became more and more uneasy.

Throughout the night, he didn't encounter any of the Black Sun Society's Dark Dogs in front of the mines, these things should be everywhere, according to the previous Black Sun Society mage, the night mines are the hunting grounds of these dark dogs, and anyone who dares to move in private at night will be regarded as the object of hunting.

However......

"Where have all these hunters gone?"

Questions like these flashed through the veteran's mind, and he leaned against the darkness by the entrance to the mine, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.

However, not discovering is not discovering.

There were no more enemies nearby, and he could even hear the faint conversation coming from the other end of the mine, greeting the two patrols at the edge of the mine as they met each other.

The veteran gritted his teeth, his intuition had saved him many times, so this time he still chose to trust the warning signs of his instincts—he raised his hand and made a gesture to the rest of the group, signaling them to speed up and hurry into the depths of the mine.

At this moment, a terrible magical alarm suddenly sounded from the direction of the miners' camp, and bright yellow magical light spread from the top of the watchtower in the middle of the camp, and they continued to sweep the night sky, attracting everyone's attention at the first time.

Clearly, someone had already noticed the change in the camp, and whether the people who raised the alarm were the sentries patrolling from behind, or the miners who had decided to join the Black Sun Society, the entire Rock Lake Mine would be under complete martial law in just a few minutes, and the heavily armed overseers and soldiers would be swarming there!

"Let's go! Speed up! ”

At this point, any concealment became nonsense, and the veteran waved his hand and immediately began to urge the remaining personnel who were not included in the mine, he stepped forward, grabbed a young man who was trying to stuff two high-quality crystalline ores into his pocket, glared at him fiercely, and then pushed him in the direction of the entrance to the mine.

In the next second, loud gunshots were already ringing nearby.

The shot was fired by another former soldier with a new type of crystal gun that had been captured earlier, and was shooting towards a distant junction with the light of the crystal bullet exploding, and by the light of the crystal bullet exploding, people could see several shadows with long tails that flashed quickly like large hounds.

Their worst fears have emerged.

Those terrifying monsters with strange and extremely ferocious movements are rapidly approaching the direction of the mines—as miners, they have every confidence to use their familiarity with the mines to deal with the pursuing soldiers inside, but they lack the courage to fight the more nimble and strange beings.

The miners' shooting was futile, their firepower was so limited that after several rounds of indiscriminate and threatening fire, the last of the workers retreated into the mine, keeping guard behind them as they followed the tracks of the small minecarts into the depths of the mine.

The veteran at the back glanced at the open entrance to the mine, and gently pinched the hard object in his hand, it was an alchemy bomb he had collected from the outpost soldiers, it seemed to be the new weapon that the Black Sun Society had equipped for its followers, and this one was much smaller than the other alchemy bombs.

However, the veteran did not dare to take it lightly at all.

He didn't know whether he would succeed in blocking the enemy's pursuit by dropping this bomb now, or bury himself and the others completely.

After hesitating for two seconds, he finally chose to give up, and after firing two bullets in quick succession at the figures that appeared in the distance, the veteran gritted his teeth and retreated into the depths of the mine, chasing after the team in front of him.

Now their goal was very simple, and that was to get to Mine Six, remove the ore that was used to block access to the old pit, and follow it to the outside world.

……

As the current baron of the Rock Lake Mine, he arrived at the scene very quickly, and before the two patrols from the other directions had gathered, he had already led his guards to the opposite side of the entrance of the mine.

He turned his head sideways and glanced twice at the earthen wall next to him.

The violent crystallization of the bullets exploded and left two huge pits on it, and the last miner to retreat into the mine was obviously experienced in the army, and if he hadn't been so hasty just now, these two bullets might even directly trigger the protective rituals set up on Xiuge's body.

This night is important.

This was true for the fleeing miners, for the spies and spies who had infiltrated the territory of St. Steele and others, and especially for the soldiers who hurried over for fear of being punished by the Baron de Fiorlando.

And when these people saw that their new immediate boss had arrived at the scene faster than they were, and was almost killed by the miners who did not know whether they were alive or dead, their faces suddenly turned pale, especially the petty officers in charge of camp patrols and outposts, whose facial expressions were now on the verge of getting out of control.

They didn't understand, and couldn't understand, why the Vigilance Magic Ritual in the Rock Lake Mines had somehow failed in one night, and they didn't understand why any Dark Dogs who were supposed to patrol their own areas and attack their territory had disappeared for some reason.

By all indications, there is something else going on tonight.

But when the officers came to the gloomy baron, they could not utter a word, not a word.

At this time, the spotlights of the nearby mines were already shining in this direction, and in the bright light, Baron Fiorlando's expression was as serious as the executioner sculpture erected in the old execution ground.

An officer finally mustered up his courage, and he came to the baron head-on, bowing his head and reporting: "Lord Baron, eighty percent of the people in the miners' camp have escaped, and they should all have entered the mine!" ”

Baron Fiorlando, who had a cold face, glanced at him: "Should it?" ”

The officer couldn't help but shudder, and he hurriedly corrected, "Uh...... No, not should, for sure, I'm sure no one from the other exits will pass by, and they'll have to flee into the mine! ”

"Oh."

Baron Fiorlando finally nodded, and he asked, "So what do you think should be done now?" Tell me. ”

"We should chase them in, those miners have some weapons in their hands, but we can drive the Dark Dogs...... They're no match for the Dark Dogs, and we'll be able to get them out of it in half an hour! ”

"Alright, then do as you say, go, take my orders, gather all the dark dogs inside and outside the camp, and I want to see those people in the mine torn to pieces by them."

He said it lightly, as if he had given not an order to slaughter at all, but a simple order to feed his pets.

So the officer walked away briskly with the baron's orders, and the baron paced slowly in front of the rest: "I am disappointed...... I am very disappointed in you, although I knew from the beginning that I should not expect too much from you, but all of you here are lucky people who have witnessed the miracles of the gods, and I thought that you would be more serious and more focused on your faith, but unfortunately, you seem to be ......"

He stopped, and the black wooden cane poked at the dust on the ground, "Not as religious as I thought. ”

When this sentence came out, it can be regarded as the frightened officers present enough.

"What, are you scared?"

The baron sneered: "It is absolutely impossible to do this with those miners alone, they have internal responses, and here, someone is helping them guide the way, helping them to destroy our vigilance secrets...... So, who is it exactly? Stand up. ”

No one responded.

So the baron smiled and shook his head: "Well, since no one wants to turn themselves in, then let me personally verify your loyalty...... Now, I want you to admit for yourself that you are absolutely loyal to the Society and to your new faith! Say it yourself, speak up! ”

This request is obviously a bit strange, but at this moment, no one dares to question it.

So everyone, both soldiers and officers, opened their mouths.

They either swore as the baron in front of them said, or they kept explaining and trying to clear the line, and in the process, a deep black cloud once again emerged from the depths of Xiuge's pupils, and on his side, psychedelic colors like a rainbow slowly appeared.

At the same time, cold lines of magic erupted, and with the support of the power of the Roots of Fate, these thin lines quickly surged into the bodies of everyone present, and swam freely in their spiritual world.

Under this magical power, everyone's thoughts became clear and discernible, and every corner of their thoughts, every thought that flashed through them, became pages that could be turned and checked by Xiuge at will.

Soon, the process was over.

The baron's expression seemed to become more gloomy, and he sighed, then slammed his cane into the ground, and immediately many black mist-like tentacles spread out from under his feet, and these tendrils quickly burrowed towards the crowd and "picked" some people with precision.

About a third of the soldiers were singled out, while only one officer was selected.

Feelings of unease and panic began to spread rapidly.

Something was vaguely guessed, and those who had been selected began to become frightened and angry, either sobbing under their breath, or they gave up their obedience and began to look directly at the baron with angry eyes, however, under the control of those magical tentacles, the weapons of these soldiers were immediately confiscated, and they could only stand in place with their bare hands, waiting for the situation to develop further.

At this time, the officer who had left before had also returned, and under the leadership of several "dog trainers" of the Black Sun Society, twenty or thirty strange-looking dark dogs with narrow rat tails came to the side of the mine, so with the baron's order, these pursuers immediately drilled into the depths of the mine, and the soldiers and officers who were let go of the tentacles were no exception, they followed closely, ready to use the blood of the miners to regain the trust and favor of their superiors.

However, the baron did not give a single glance to the mine.

For the first time, a sad expression appeared on his face, and he looked at the selected soldiers in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

"It's still too much...... There are still too many people who are willing to believe in them. ”
