Speaking of this, he looked at Sekelian, with a flattering smile on his face, nodded and said with a bow: "Sei...Master Sekelian, if I tell you where the tunnel is, You...what reward will you give me?"
Sekrian strongly resisted the displeasure in his heart, and said with a smile: "If you can prove that what you are saying is true, you have done a great job for the Kingdom of Dionia, and you will become Dai in at least two years. An official citizen of Onia enjoys the many rights that the kingdom grants you!"
"Two more years..." Carmelus was still a little dissatisfied, but when he saw Sekrian staring at him fiercely, he immediately said loudly, "Of course the tunnel is true! It's in Lampukuba's house!"
His words aroused the curiosity of the workers: "Which Lampukuba?"
"Of course it's Lampukuba of the Hanno family! Lili is the richest businessman Lampukuba!" Carmelus straightened his chest, with a glorious appearance.
"You are a lie! The people of Lampukuba's family are above the top, how can you reach them! It's even more impossible to know such a secret thing!" The young Setonus expressed doubts, this got a lot of labor Agree.
"Of course it's true!" Seeing that Sekrian was also suspicious, Carmelus explained in a hurry: "On one night three years ago, I was bored by myself, wandering in the port area. ...Well... somehow... just walked into Lampukuba's house--"
At this time, Setonus snorted coldly, and the mocking on his face was obviously saying: Whatever approached unknowingly, you obviously wanted to go in and steal something!
Carmelus was thick-skinned and careless, and continued: "His house is too big. I was lost. I couldn't get out for a while. I was afraid of bumping into their guards. So I had to find a place to hide. It happened. I overheard his family chief and his subordinates talking quietly, "We must transport the army rations from the southwestern barracks through the tunnel at home."...I heard that Lampu Kuba has a lot of status and power in Carthage. No one of his servants dared to provoke him... I knew this big secret, if they knew it, would he still live? I was terrified at the time, and after finally coming out, I kept keeping this The secret is buried in the heart, no one dared to say it, they don’t even know..."
He pointed at the laborers contemptuously, then immediately changed an expression of admiration, and said to Sekelian: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, my lord. You easily got this secret from my mouth!"
The excited Sekrian didn't have time to pay attention to his flattery, and immediately asked: "Where is the house of Lampukuba?!"
"I know, I will take you there!..." Many workers rushed to answer, all wanting to do meritorious service and get rewards.
"Hold on!" Carmelus yelled, "Master Sekelian, the Lampukuba's house is very large. It may not be easy to find the tunnel! It is better to interrogate Lampukuba and others directly. Family!"
Sekrian looked at him and felt that although this guy had a bad character, he had a good brain, so he turned around and said to the soldiers: "Take him, go and grab Lampkuba immediately! "
"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly, and they were so excited that they couldn't restrain themselves: Master Sekrian's seemingly joke command actually grabbed the key to opening the door to victory!
.............................................
The warships of the 3rd Fleet docked at the pier one after another. Leotizides got off the ship and was about to gather the soldiers of the Eighth Legion who had landed one after another, but saw the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade rushing towards him.
"Secrian wants me to see him? What's the matter?" Leontizides was surprised when he heard the players' words.
"General, it’s a very important thing about the capture of this city. You will know it after you go!" The team members said sternly, but couldn’t hide the excitement in their tone. He also reminded: "It’s better to bring less. Point someone to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy in the city."
Leotizides was aroused. He asked Ta** to be responsible for the assembly of troops. He brought a detachment of soldiers from the flagship, followed closely with the members of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, and hurried to the port area.
Although Lilibal is Carthage’s military center in Sicily, as Carthage’s only and truly direct town in Sicily, the Carthaginians have poured a lot of money and manpower into it over the past 20 years. It has also promoted its prosperity in maritime trade. Therefore, the area of the port area is not small. Warehouses, shops, and markets are lined up. The streets are flat and straight, and the houses are densely packed, but they are planned and neatly. It’s getting bigger and bigger, and it’s getting more luxurious...It’s just that there are almost no people in the big place now. Most of the people in the port area have been driven to the vicinity of the city gate. Of course, this is not just the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. The contribution of the Sicilian Fleet's infantry.
After Sekrian learned that the tunnel was hidden in Lampukuba’s house, he dispatched people to arrest the insider, and at the same time he quickly dispatched thousands of infantry soldiers on the Ravens People in the port area were expelled from the port area to avoid information leakage.
Therefore, Leotizides and the others walked in empty neighborhoods, because there was no light around them, and it was too dark, and they tripped over dead bodies on the road from time to time.
"Why haven't we arrived yet? Where are we going?" The team leader couldn't help but asked. He fell twice along the way, his helmet was crooked, and his nose was swollen. There was inevitably a lot of grievance in his heart.
Leotizides did not stop him at this time, because he was still thinking about what the mountain scouts had said about "capturing profit", and for a while did not notice that he was approaching the wall of Lelivar.
The mountain investigators who led the way said repeatedly: "Almost there! Almost there!"
Walking forward more than 10 meters, he stopped, pointed to the open door on the roadside and said: "Here, let's go in, Master Sekrian is still waiting for you inside."
Leotizides stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment. He suddenly found that the fence of this house was much higher than the fences of other houses. It was more than four meters high, and even though the gate looked The texture is not clear, but it is very thick, and it is by no means ordinary people to live in it! ......"
At this moment, someone from inside greeted me: "Master Leotizides, you are finally here, Master Sekelian is waiting anxiously!"
This person is the infantry captain of the Sicilian Fleet. Leottizides has seen him before. Only then did he completely relieved, stepped forward, and said, "What the **** did Sekerian find? Is it so mysterious?"
"A tunnel leading to the city!" The captain said in a low voice excitedly: "Master Sekrian learned from the pier laborers, and he specifically asked the mountain scouts to arrest the people in this house. Several prisoners were killed before they were forced to ask."
It turns out that this is what your Majesty said! ...Leotizides refreshed, and immediately said: "Take me to see!"
The area of this house should not be small. The captain took him into the courtyard. Instead of going to the main courtyard, he passed the side gate again. There is a passageway wide enough to pass a large carriage. It Stick to the courtyard wall and head straight east.
Leotizides looked at the city wall getting closer and closer, and he could even hear the deafening shouts coming from the front side, as if he had an enlightenment in his heart.
After walking several tens of meters, a tall building resembling a warehouse appeared in front of him. The captain pointed to one of them and said, "Master Sekrian is inside."
Leotizides did not go in immediately. He looked around again, then pointed to the left and asked, "Is the gate leading from the port to the city over there?"
The captain did not expect that he would ask this question, turned his head and looked at the left side, and then said: "Yes, it is over there. There are thousands of people gathered there. The Mountain Reconnaissance Team and our fleet infantry It took a lot of effort to drive them away, but the effect was obvious. Before you arrived, the Carthaginians had not dared to open the gates..."
Leotizides turned his head and looked to the rear on the right. The flame was still burning on the city's head a few hundred meters away, where the tower gate should be.
Leotizides recalled the map of the city of Lilliput that he drew after the interrogation of the Carthage crew. He can now make a clear judgment. Behind the wall in front of him is probably the southwest of Lilliput. Barracks.
Leotizides looked at the dots of torches on the front of the city tens of meters away, subconsciously took off the helmet, covered the purple and red crown with his body, and at the same time The squad leader said: Go and guard at the gate of the courtyard. If there are troops coming in later, tell them not to light torches or make any noise. They must advance in a column formation and they must take off their helmets with crowns.. ...."
Leotizides gave a solemn instruction and followed the captain into the warehouse.
There are a lot of things piled up in the warehouse, and a dim light flashes in a corner in front. Sekrian formed a circle with seven or eight soldiers, and there were a few soldiers guarding the two prisoners.
Hearing the footsteps, Sekrian turned his head and looked back, and then said triumphantly: "Proseus, come and see, I have brought you a good opportunity to do great things!"
Leotizides ignored his pride and strode over.
The soldiers hurriedly made room, and what appeared in front of Leonidzides’s eyes was not a dark hole in his imagination, but more like a cellar, with one-step stone staircase and a A wall lamp, a hard floor, a pile of stone walls and iron pillars support, a straight **** leads all the way to the black paint front...
Leotizides stood at the entrance of this width allowing three adults to be parallel and observed for a while, then stepped on the stone ladder and went up to the warehouse. The first sentence he said was: "Such a Tunnels cannot be unearthed in a short time."
