Chapter 16: Escape
While Raymond and Verona's gang were fighting, somewhere in the chaotic square, several thin black figures hid in an inconspicuous corner, staring out in horror.
"Patriarch, what should we do?" asked one of the little dark shadows in a trembling voice.
"Fool, I said that when no one is around, you should call me king. Another shadow struck him the head.
At that moment, a nearby brazier was knocked over by the orcs, and the burning wood inside was scattered in all directions, illuminating the dark corner. At this time, it can be seen that there are several kobolds hiding inside, and one of them is covered with exaggerated ornaments, which is the patriarch of the kobold clan, Dave.
The other also wore an exaggerated feather headdress, but was slightly more "low-key" than Dave's: "King, the werewolf clan seems to have rebelled again, what should we do?"
"Werewolves are very strong. Dave said.
"yes, very strong, very strong. The other kobolds nodded in response, "One werewolf can kill dozens of kobolds." ”
"Great God Philis said that Her Majesty is not fit to be an orc king. Dave said again.
"Yes, yes, it's not suitable to be an orc king. A few echo worms said again: "It's still Haken who is stronger." ”
"So, I have decided to follow Her Majesty Armada, and we kobolds will never betray her. ”
"Okay, okay, never...", he nodded yes, and suddenly, several echo worms stopped at the same time, looking at Dave incredulously.
"Am you wrong, my lord? ”
"Why do we have to be loyal to her? We always follow whoever is stronger. ”
"Stupid! stupid!"
Dave struck each kobold on the head in turn, "Don't you see how good Her Majesty Amada was to me during the ceremony, and Your Majesty almost touched me with her beautiful hand." No Beastmaster has ever been so kind to us kobolds, and I swore my allegiance to her forever. ”
"So, no matter what, we kobolds must not betray Her Majesty. Although we are weak and despised by no one, we kobolds have never betrayed our oath, and this is the only place where our people can be proud in front of the god of war. ”
The kobolds seemed to be completely on the radar of Dave, and when they heard Dave say this, they immediately nodded their heads: "Yes, yes, you can't break your oath, otherwise the god of war will be angry." ”
"The king can't be wrong, then let's follow His Majesty Armada. ”
Dave looked at these "loyal" subordinates with satisfaction, and then ordered: "You go and gather all the kobolds in the city at once, we will help His Majesty Armada to fight the werewolves." ”
Afterwards, the kobolds emerged from their hiding corners and ran towards Fangs City below.
"So, Armada has fled into the city?"
At the same time, somewhere at the foot of the mountain below the temple, Werewolf Verona was majestically examining several werewolf warriors in front of him.
He grabbed the severed arm torn by Armada in his left hand and pressed it against the wound in his right shoulder, causing it to engage automatically. And the terrifying claw marks on his chest, the muscles in the wound are also slowly wriggling, and they are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, even in the werewolf clan with the 'rebirth' skill, such a healing ability is enough to be terrifying.
Obviously, as Amada said, this werewolf's life is not ordinary.
In front of Verona, those werewolves didn't even dare to take a breath. One of them cautiously said: "The scene is so chaotic, there are orcs running around everywhere, we really can't help it..."
Verona's gaze flickered, and the werewolf immediately shut up, not daring to say anything more. Verona said in a deep voice, "How is the Minotaur army doing?"
Another werewolf said: "We received a signal from the temple and immediately attacked their station with the lion-people, because about 500 minotaurs were led away in advance, and the remaining troops were insufficient, we successfully wiped them all out, and only a few dozen escaped into the city." ”
Another werewolf said: "According to your orders, after destroying the minotaurs, each team will immediately set off and go to occupy the city gates, and now they must have all succeeded, and Fangs City is already in your hands." ”
"What about the minotaur force that was diverted?" asked the attentive Verona.
"Rest assured, the Lion-Man forces have already gone after them, and the bandits we have bought will also work together to prevent those minotaurs from escaping. At this time, Kenan of the Lion Clan on the side said.
Verona nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, although there is a little deviation from the festival, everything is within my plan." Armada, you don't want to leave Fangs alive tonight!"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a wild scream from behind, followed by a series of exclamations and screams. The werewolves turned their heads to look, but it was the unconscious Haken who suddenly jumped up and overturned several shamans who had healed him.
"Raymond, I'm going to kill you!!"
Suddenly waking up from a coma, Haken's memory is still retained at the moment when he was knocked off the cliff by Armada. With a wild scream, his body gradually expanded, and he wanted to transform into a Beamon beast again.
"Please calm down. Elder Curt of the Beamon tribe kept shouting from the side.
Suddenly, a powerful arm grabbed Haken's neck, and Verona's wolf face came to Haken's ear: "Please don't be anxious, Lord Haken... No, it's Your Majesty, that stinky boy can't escape your palm. ”
"Your Majesty?" Haken repeated in a daze, and suddenly his eyes widened and he had regained consciousness: "Am I already an orc king?"
"Yes, when you kill Armada, you will be the new Orc King. So, show the patience of the king. Verona said, "She has been trapped in the city by us, and she can't escape. ”
"Hahaha, well done, Verona. Haken smirked and said, "I won't do you any harm afterwards." But he seemed to have forgotten the humiliation he had before he fell unconscious.
"Thank you for your generosity, everything I do is for you, Your Majesty. Verona lowered her head, but a deep disgust flashed in her eyes.
"You, bring someone into the city with me, this time I must find Raymond and kill him with my own hands!" Haken shouted to Kenan of the Lion Clan.
Kenan didn't move, the disdain in his eyes flashing as he looked at Verona, who nodded imperceptibly.
"Do as you command. Kennan said respectfully.
Looking at the back of Haken leading the soldiers to leave, Verona turned to the werewolf under him and said, "Follow that fool's pleasure, you follow me to the beastmaster's palace." Now Armada is no longer worried, and it is time to think about how to deal with the army led by Moro on the border. ”
Later, Verona and his subordinates disappeared into the night from the other direction.
"Your Majesty, what shall we do now?"
In Fangs City, Raymond and his party who escaped from the temple hid in a remote alley. After a group of wolf cavalry ran past the alley, Robard asked Armada, who was being held by him.
When everyone entered Fangs City, they found that it was also in chaos, and the streets were full of rebels, who ruthlessly drove the orc people, running through every alley, looking for those who dared to resist.
There was such a big commotion in the city, and there were no Minotaur troops stationed outside the city, which showed that they had been poisoned. The situation of the people is very bad now, and a way out must be found as soon as possible.
Hearing Robard's words, Armada barely opened his eyes: "What about our army, can you get in touch?"
Robard sighed: "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, Verona's plan is very thorough. Not only our Minotaur troops, but also the troops loyal to you in the city have also been wiped out. ”
As he spoke, he suggested, "Your injuries are very serious, do you want to find a place to hide first?"
Armada shook her head: "No, if you hide, you will never be able to escape." In any case, we must get out tonight. ”
Robard nodded: "Understood, then let's go to the south gate..."
"No!" At this time, Raymond suddenly said: "In order to prevent us from escaping, Verona must have sent people to control the city gate, the south gate is the main passage out of the city, the enemy's defense must be very strong, if we go, we can only throw ourselves into the net." ”
Robard was stunned: "What does Your Highness mean?"
Raymond said, "Take the west gate." ”
Robard couldn't help but say: "Outside the west gate is the wide Hafdan River, and without the means to cross the river, even if we escape from the city, there is no way to escape." Now the situation is urgent, and I have to go to the south gate to try it anyway. ”
Those Minotaur soldiers also said: "No matter how many enemies there are, we will definitely fight to protect Your Majesty and rush out." ”
Raymond still shook his head: "It's not a question of whether to take risks or not, we can't rush out at all." ”
"But Your Highness," Robard said urgently.
Amada suddenly opened his eyes: "High priest, since Raymond is so confident, let's do as he says." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Raymond and smiled slightly: "I heard that you have prepared a surprise for me at the West City Gate, so don't disappoint your mother." ”
Obviously, Armada had seen some clues from Raymond's insistence on going through the West Gate.
Robard was not a fool either, remembering that Raymond had approached him earlier and indicated that he would be in charge of the preparations for the West Gate, he quickly understood.
The old minotaur couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that His Highness knew that there would be something tonight?"
Raymond smiled wryly, "I hope it's because I'm nervous." But it's already happened, so I can only pray that the god of war won't let me waste my efforts, that is the only hope for us to escape. ”
"Philis won't let that sinister and cunning old wolf get his way. Verona snorted.
Then he shouted to the bull-headed people, "Do you hear? Now listen to the orders of Your Highness, and protect Your Majesty to the West Gate." ”
Then, the group ran down the alley and quickly towards the west of Fangs City.
However, due to the lack of scouts, no one noticed that on the roof of a building behind everyone, two cat people were half-poking their heads out, staring down with burning eyes.
After everyone left, the two cat people looked at each other, and one of them quietly came out, far away from everyone. The other was leaping and jumping from house to house, darting in the other direction.
