If it is a secret passage for escape, it will indeed be arranged in such an unobtrusive place. Richard, however, did not go to the huts, but to the empty stables.

There were no horses in the stables for a long time, and there was a layer of hay on the ground, and Richard muttered, "Under the pillars to the left of the third block of the stables..."

He swept away the messy hay on the ground, groped under a pillar for a while, and his face showed surprise: "Lord Raymond, I found it." ”

Then he pulled up a thin iron chain from an inconspicuous corner under the pillars, and lifted it up, and the planks on the floor of the stables were turned upside down, revealing the steps leading down.

I have to say that this arrangement is very ingenious, even if someone guesses that the secret passage is nearby, they will only search for those wooden houses, who would have thought that the real entrance would be here. It is conceivable that if there were horses here in the past, the concealment of the secret passage would be seamless.

It had been a long time since he found this place, and Raymond was ready to go down. Suddenly, Hillness grabbed him: "Lord Raymond, is this guy really reliable?" and whispered as he whispered to Richard.

Raymond understood what he meant, and Richard suddenly appeared and claimed to be a spy for Headington, and then brought everyone here, which was too coincidental by any means.

If this is a necromancer's conspiracy, then there is likely to be great danger below, and it is best to err on the side of caution until it is fully understood.

However, Raymond does not intend to give up the opportunity in front of him, if he lets Loren escape because of his conservatism. Then it is likely that the treasure in the vault will never be recovered, let alone the whereabouts of Deneck.

Because Raymond had a hunch that this time the necromancer gave up on Sonali so simply, indicating that the other party was likely to turn into stealth activities, and it would be extremely difficult to deal with them again in the future. And Raymond wants to get rid of those guys once and for all, no matter what.

So even if it's a big risk, Raymond thinks it's worth it.

After thinking about it, he said to Hilnis: "Your bow and arrow are difficult to exert their power in the tunnels, so stay here with Richard." Warnings will be issued immediately if there is any abnormality. ”

"Understood. Hilneth nodded helplessly.

Subsequently. Raymond took Baster and Lorna and walked down the tunnel. He believed that having these two people by his side would be enough to deal with any danger.

After a short time, the three of them entered the secret passage. Same as Richard said. The passages are very spacious. Even the tallest Raymond can walk with his head held high. Although it has been closed for a long time, it is not stuffy, and obviously there are good ventilation measures.

Bastet removes a torch from the wall. Immediately after the ignition, the vision brightened, and a long passage stretched forward, and the ground was clean, and the air was blowing from that side as you could see from the swing of the flames.

Handing the torch to Raymond, Barstone pulled out her cutlass to clear the way, and the cat-man's night vision allowed her to see clearly what was ahead. Raymond walked behind her with a torch, and Lorna was a step behind.

At this point, all three became cautious. They walked slowly down the tunnel, which was silent, except for the sound of their gentle footsteps.

After that, there was no incident, and since Vizla's home was in the middle of the city, the secret passage was very long. The three of them walked for a long time, and finally saw a wide eye, but they came to a wide space.

It was a large area of hundreds of meters square, and the wall behind the three of them was the exit to the secret passage of the Vizla's house. On the other side of the wall, there are several identical square exits, which are supposed to be the secret passages of the other nobles in the city, as well as the secret passages to the Central Council.

On the opposite side of the three of them, on the wall on the other side of the space, there was a semi-oval entrance that was much larger than the other exits, and that entrance had an iron door, but it had been destroyed, and the heavy iron door smashed into the ground, revealing the black hole behind it.

According to Richard, these passages were built together when the city was founded, and only a few high-ranking nobles had entrances and exits to their homes. Now it seems that the nobles must have had some kind of mutual agreement, and in order to keep this secret, all the secret passages met here to prevent anyone from destroying them for the sake of revenge.

And the passage on the opposite side should be the exit to the outside of the city.

"Meow, young master, look. At this moment, Baste suddenly pointed to a corner of the space.

The space was so large that the lighting was only the torch in Raymond's hand, so it was difficult to see the surroundings. Alerted by the sharp-eyed Bath, Raymond and Lorna noticed that there seemed to be a lot of things piled up in the corner diagonally opposite.

"What's that?" Lorna wondered.

"Dead people, a lot of dead people. Barstone replied, the blue and yellow cat's eyes glowing in the darkness.

The three of them walked over, and sure enough, there were dozens of corpses piled up in that corner, and there were men and women on the other side, all of them were gorgeously dressed, and at a glance they knew that Lu Dao was a noble person. And next to it, there are many corpses of men wearing mercenary uniforms, and the scene is terrible.

"Who are they, and how did they die here?" said Lorna.

Raymond pointed to the rest of the exits on the wall, "It should be the owner of those secret passages." ”

Richard had said that the secret passage under Sonali had been controlled by necromancers, and that Vizla's people had tried to escape with it, but they were all killed. Then these people in front of them should be the other nobles who tried to escape through the secret passage after the city was broken.

"But why would the necromancer kill Sonali since he had abandoned Sonali?" said Lorna.

Raymond said: "Probably because I am afraid that after these people escape from the city, the existence of the secret passage will be exposed, so they will kill people and kill them." ”

At this time, Baster was crouching down to examine the body. After a while, she raised her head: "Young Master, these people have not been dead for a long time, some of them were a few days ago. Not long ago, none of these men's blood had completely congealed. ”

Raymond nodded: "So, Luo Lan shouldn't have escaped from the secret passage yet, otherwise there is no need for the other party to continue to kill, it seems that we have caught up." ”

"If that's the case, then here...", Raymond and Lorna changed color at the same time.

Sure enough, I heard a rustling sound, dozens of mounds of soil rose on the ground near the three of them, and a group of zombies came out of the ground. At the same time, in the passage leading to the outside of the city. Dozens of huge skeletons in armor burst out.

The three of them immediately fell into a siege.

"Damn. I was just too careless. Raymond couldn't help but curse himself for being careless, when he first saw those corpses, he should have thought that there must be an undead ambush here.

Lorna and Bath, who were on the side, had already raised their weapons, and the two were back to back. Vigilantly watching the undead around him.

But there was one thing that made Raymond feel strange. Just in that pile of dead bodies. Many of them are elite mercenaries, if the ambush of the undead is just like that, how can they kill so many people.

But. The doubts were soon revealed.

"Oh, I thought it was just some useless nobles who would come here, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish. With a sinister voice, a necromancer stepped out of the dark passage, accompanied by a necromantic knight who was not riding.

"Hello, Lord Raymond. ”

Although he is a necromancer he has never seen before, as a sworn enemy of the Necromancer Guild, Raymond is estimated to be well known within them.

Seeing that Raymond would automatically send it to the door, the necromancer's eyes were full of surprise.

Now all he thinks about is that if he can kill Raymond, he will definitely get another look at Denek, and this opportunity cannot be missed no matter what.

On this side, Raymond was also in a hurry. It seems that his guess is correct, Lorain has not left Sonali City, and this necromancer is here to pick him up. It seems that the First World War is still inevitable today.

Those zombies and skeletons are easy to deal with, and there is only one really tricky enemy, and that is the necromantic knight. In order to fight in the tunnels, the necromantic knight abandoned his horses, but his power was still unquestionable.

Raymond didn't want to fight to the death with the other party, so he still had to use the old way.

"Lorna, you and I are pestering the Necro Knight. Baste, take the opportunity to kill that necromancer. Raymond whispered to the two.

"Meow, I see. Bath and Lorna nodded at the same time.

At this time, the zombies around slowly approached the three of them. Raymond took a deep breath, thrust the torch to the side, and then shouted, "Come on!" and rushed forward with his sword.

Raymond stepped forward, and the heavy sword in his hand swept forward, cutting off the two zombies, and then kicked one zombie out of the air with one more kick. It rolled to the ground and knocked over several of its companions, and the pressure around the three of them was immediately loosened.

At the same time as Raymond made a move, Lorna and Bath also moved. The scimitar in Catwoman's hand danced into two clouds of silver light around her body, and all the zombies that approached shattered their bones. With her nimble form, she is like a white ghost, blowing a whirlwind of death in the zombie horde.

Compared to Bathter's magnificence, Lorna's attacks are more like a well-oiled machine. In the bag of zombies, she wielded the heavy sword left by Goodwin, and killed again and again with extremely ingenious movements, her sword momentum was elegant and smooth, and the heavy sword seemed to need no strength at all in her hand.

Although she was unable to use the true power of this magic sword due to her inability to use her fighting spirit, Lorna already had the potential to be a first-rate swordsman only by virtue of the swordsmanship she had cultivated on the battlefield from the true legend of Kress.

Watching the three of them go back and forth among the zombies, the necromancer always had a sneer on his face. He has seen a lot of such a situation, those nobles who fled and came, their bodyguards are very powerful mercenaries, at the beginning they were also like Raymond and his party, killing all sides, as if it was easy to kill the undead who stood in the way.

But in the end, those guys have all become corpses in the corner without exception, because they have an absolutely invincible trump card on their side.

Thinking of this, the necromancer snorted, "Come on." Kill them. ”

The Necromantic Knight beside him nodded slightly, armed with a huge long knife, and together with the skeleton soldiers in armor, he pressed towards the three of Raymond.

Although the space in this area is wide, it is still a little too narrow as a battlefield. When a large number of skeleton soldiers poured in, the three of Raymond immediately felt a huge pressure.

These specially modified giant skeleton soldiers are much more difficult to deal with than zombies. All of them were armed with heavy weapons, and they swung with great force, and they were not afraid of ordinary attacks while wearing armor, and several of them surrounded them together. No matter how high your swordsmanship is, it will be difficult to parry.

Here, Raymond has just cut down two zombies. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from the side. As soon as he turned his feet, the sword in his hand was diagonally at his side, and he heard a loud noise, and Raymond only felt a heavy force coming from the sword body. Caught off guard, he almost got out of it.

The heart is not good. Only then did he realize that he had been attacked by a skeleton soldier armed with a battle axe. One blow was unsuccessful. The skeleton soldier raised his axe again, and was about to cut it down.

Raymond is also a battle-hardened warrior, so how can he let the other party take advantage of the victory to pursue. He twisted around and slashed away the force of the blow he had just delivered. At the same time, taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's raised hand, he swung his sword, and the back hair slashed towards the skeleton's head.

However, before he could hit the opponent, another skeleton soldier next to him also swung an axe. The most troublesome thing is that these guys are not afraid of accidentally injuring their companions in order to attack their targets, and this axe directly slashes the left hand of the previous skeleton soldier to pieces, and then comes towards Raymond's chest.

Raymond had no choice but to hurriedly return to the sword to block, and was staggered back by the opponent's heavy axe.

The previous skeleton didn't care about the left hand that he had lost, and rushed towards Raymond with an axe in one hand. At the critical moment, Lorna rushed out of the stabbing stab, plunged a sword into the skeleton's backbone from behind, sliced off its head with a flick of her wrist, and then slashed forward with her sword, slashing the skeleton soldier who followed directly into pieces.

At this time, the whole area was already in chaos, thanks to the fact that those skeleton soldiers were too tall, huddled together and lined up the others, so that the three of Raymond did not have to deal with many at once.

However, the opponent's attack was fierce, and the remaining dozen or so zombies also squeezed in to attack, and gradually suppressed the three of them. Baste, who is known for her flexibility, has less and less space to move around.

Although the current situation is not good, but the three of them have all fought in countless battles, and I don't know how many worse situations have been encountered. Therefore, although they were temporarily down, they all calmly responded to the attacks coming from all sides, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Finally, as a heavy footstep approached, there was a sudden commotion in the crowded group of skeletons. Immediately after, the sword flashed, and the three skeleton soldiers facing Raymond were like being hit by a heavy hammer, and they were all shattered in an instant.

Then, in the flying bones, the tall necromantic knight stepped out, and the huge long knife swung at the three of them.

Lorna didn't say a word, she stepped forward first, the big sword in her hand was slanted on her shoulder, the tip of the sword was on the ground, and she used the force of the ground to push up, and she just blocked the thunderous blow.

Hearing a loud noise, the long knife slashed into the sword body, the huge force made Lorna snort, and her thin body knelt directly on the ground, but the sword in her hand was as steady as a rock, and she did not take a step back.

And taking advantage of the opportunity of the Necromantic Knight forcing back the skeleton soldiers and being blocked by Lorna, Raymond, who had been waiting for a long time, held the sword in both hands, and the sword body turned flat to the top of the sword, and shouted: "Bathter, prepare!"

Catwoman swept lightly and jumped onto Raymond's sword, and at the same time Raymond swung the sword fiercely!

Turning into a white shadow, Baster swung her sword over the heads of the Necro Knight and Skeleton Soldier, followed by a kick on the high ceiling of the basement, changing direction and swooping down on the necromancer behind him like lightning.

Unexpectedly, the other party still had this trick, and the necromancer who was caught off guard looked shocked and didn't have time to react.

Flying in front of the necromancer, Baster slashed with his sword. Seeing the silver light swept towards the other party's neck, Catwoman's eyes showed a look of surprise, she had killed countless necromancers by surprise attacks, and Baster believed that this time would be the same, as long as he cut off his head, the battle would be over.

However, just as the blade was about to slash at its target, the necromancer suddenly let out a sinister smile, and at the same time, a translucent curtain of light rose in front of him.

Boom!

Just hear a sound. Bathter's scimitar slashed through the light curtain, sending ripples through the air like ripples, and Catwoman was forced to bounce away with a fruitless blow.

"Idiot, do you think I'll be killed by such a simple trick?" As the necromancer spoke, he saw the entrance to the passage where he was standing, and a magic array quickly lit up on the ground, enveloping him.

It's a defensive barrier, and it seems that in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, the necromancer has planted a self-protecting barrier at the entrance of the passage. No wonder he's so emboldened.

After being bounced off. Bastet rolled around on the ground and rolled over. However, she had no chance to attack again, and the skeletons around her had already surrounded her, and several axes were slashing at her at the same time.

"Meow. Don't—" Bastet spread the knife on both sides. In the group of skeletons, he swirled: "Stand in my way!"

Bang bang bang... Click-la-la-la!

With a flurry of noises. I saw a white shadow scurrying flexibly between the gaps of the giant axe, and at the same time, the silver light swirled towards the surroundings like a whirlwind.

The skeletons' attacks missed, and the massive axes smashed to the ground. There was a dull sound. At the same time, all their knee joints were cut off by scimitars, and their huge bodies fell to the ground one after another.

After dealing with the skeletons around her, Baster was about to continue attacking the necromancer. But he heard several huge blade strikes behind him, followed by Lorna's screams of pain.

Bath turned her head, only to see Lorna half-crouched against the corner, one hand holding a sword, the other hanging by her side, dripping blood. She couldn't stop gasping for air, and she was extremely embarrassed.

The tall Necromantic Knight, dragging his long knife, was slowly walking towards her. The blade rubbed against the bricks on the ground, sending out a long string of bright sparks.

Although she has made great progress, Lorna's swordsmanship is still not enough to compete with an enemy of the level of Necromantic Knight.

On the other side, Raymond was entangled with a group of zombies, and seeing this, he didn't care about continuing to fight, so he grabbed a zombie and pushed it towards the Necro Knight.

Without hesitation, the Necro Knight swung his sword and slashed the zombie in two, then stepped over its corpse and continued to approach Lorna. There was limited space in the basement, and Lorna couldn't even turn around and run away.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Raymond rolled his eyes and simply ran towards the Necro Knight, while not forgetting to swing his sword and attack a few skeletons around him.

So, when Raymond inserted between Lorna and the Necro Knight, a group of menacing zombies and skeletons followed, completely blocking the space between the two sides.

Blocking the attacks of several skeleton soldiers in a row, Raymond saw the opportunity to get out of the battle group, and pulled Lorna to the side: "Hurry up!"

The Necro Knight wanted to catch up, but the intelligence of his companions was too low. They didn't know how to get out of the way at all, and the skeletons and zombies wanted to attack Raymond, but they were completely huddled together because of the chaos.

The Necro Knight tried to push the guy in front of him several times, but he was squeezed back, and instead he was scraped on the breastplate by the axe of a skeleton soldier.

Then I saw the ghost fire in the eyes of the necromantic knight jump a few times, and followed it to rush into his companions with a knife.

Suddenly, a whirlwind of steel blew among the zombies and skeletons. The long knife in the hand of the Necro Knight flew by, and he heard the sound of a broken flesh and a crack of flesh, and the wind blew the torches half bright and half extinguished, and the basement suddenly swayed with light and shadow, and the chaos was chaotic.

The wind rose and fell, and a moment later, when the flickering light and shadow calmed down again, the tall Necro Knight stood among the corpses and broken bones, his long knife hanging to the ground, the blade slowly dripping viscous thick liquid into the body, but it had already slashed all the accomplices around it.

Raymond had just taken a few steps with Lorna here, and there was no cover between the two sides. In desperation, he had no choice but to protect Lorna behind him, raise the sword in his hand, and at the same time the necromantic knight took a big stride, and with the movement of his body, the long knife picked up a semicircle and slashed towards Raymond.

Feeling the heavy wind brought by the blade, Raymond didn't dare to be careless, and gathered all his strength to fight up.

While!

There was a loud bang, Raymond's hands shook violently, the sword in his hand almost came out of his hand, he involuntarily staggered backwards, and was forced to the wall again with Lorna.

It is worthy of being an undead creature second only to the bone dragon, even if it dismounts and fights on foot, the power of the necromantic knight is still unstoppable, no wonder those elite mercenaries who escort the nobles all hate it.

"Very well, cut off their heads for me. The necromancer watching the battle from behind had a look of excitement in his eyes, if he could kill Raymond here, he would definitely get a different look from Denek.

He also realized that the zombies and skeleton soldiers would get in the way, so he asked all the remaining undead soldiers to step aside, and immediately cleared a clearing around the necromantic knight.

Without hindrance, the Necro Knight slowly approached Raymond. The shadow of death fell overhead, and Raymond's eyes were still calm, but he couldn't find a way to retreat from the enemy for a while.

At this moment, Lorna stepped forward and stood side by side with Raymond. The girl held Goodwin's greatsword, her eyes full of determination, and she stared at the approaching enemy without the slightest fear. (To be continued......)
