The Devil’s Cage Chapter 25: Incoming
Sunrise and sunset.
The hustle and bustle of the night and the Gravel Town during the whole day became more lively at night.
People looked at the 50 horses and the loot placed on the car, and there was a lot of talk.
Although the latter is covered, as long as it is not a fool, you can guess what is inside.
Wern was standing on the main road of the town to greet the Hall and his party who returned home victoriously.
"Relax, Wern."
"We have enough time."
"At least one more day!"
Hall said so.
"One day..."
"We have too few manpower. Although I have selected trusted mercenaries, the number is only 10, and our people only barely reached the original number of militia."
The young militia captain looked worried.
As youngster who grew up in Gravel Town, Wern knows how bold and cruel some of the guys around Supreme Road are.
As long as they have enough interests, attacking a small town is really not a big deal for those guys.
In fact, every year Gravel Town will encounter attacks, but every time there is Burning Dawn garrison support, so that those guys did not succeed.
But this time it’s different!
Although the news of the Burning Dawn accident was concealed, some sporadic news has been disseminated as time goes by.
This makes the civilians around Supreme Road uneasy and frightened.
It also excites the guys with special occupations.
youngster does not dare to imagine what kind of terrible situation Gravel Town will face after the news that 50 war horses and a considerable amount of wealth have appeared in Gravel Town.
"You have to believe in adults."
"A large number of enemies are useless in the face of adults!"
"Adult's formidable is far beyond our imagination!"
Hall controlled by Kieran is full of confidence.
In the subconscious of this mayor, Kieran is omnipotent, and everything is completely correct, which is worthy of his life to perform.
"Uh."
youngster nodded.
Wern thought of a scene last night.
A scene where hundreds of robbers were headshot.
This scene makes youngster's heart a little calmer, but there are still some worries.
The young militia captain really cares about Gravel Town.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the other party did not find any inadequacies in the name of Hall.
Wern did not find it.
The Sznak, Blue and Willey who had a three-month contract with Kieran found something wrong.
However, the three who knew Kieran's identity exchanged a look, and chose the silence wisely.
It’s not good for them to speak up.
It might as well be silent.
Not to mention, in the eyes of the three people, it is not an exaggeration to call Kieran as an adult in the capacity of Hall.
But in the heart of the three, there is some doubt as to why Kieran is coming to Gravel Town.
Especially at this time.
Know that Burning Dawn is not just a whole.
It is composed of Burning Family and Dawn Family.
Similarly, it’s not just three people from Sznak.
In some secret places near Gravel Town, well-informed robbers and bandits are also talking closely.
"Eldest Son of Burning Family appears here..."
"It really makes people care."
"Is it related to the Burning Dawn attack?"
"Who knows?"
"However, the wealth of Gravel Town really makes people covet Beep!"
"I heard that Syer evacuated the hidden treasure library of ‘Sand Bandit’ for life!”
"Hey, not only the wealth of "Sand Bandit" and "Broken Skull"Bearsman", but also all of them have been evacuated, especially the "Broken Skull". Warhorse was carefully nurtured by him for Golden City trading."
"Which one does not jump like thunder?"
"Syer is the liaison of the Golden City underground market, this time it is finished."
"He should be finished!"
"However, Gravel Town is going to be lively now."
"I don’t know if Burning Family’s Eldest Son is powerful, or those guys are better!"
"Either one is our opportunity!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Our opportunity is here!"
......
Such conversations occurred one after another.
The end result is that many robbers and bandits begin to gather in the direction of Gravel Town, especially those whose property has been lost.
‘Sand Bandit’ is a one-eyed middle-aged man who traverses the scar on the entire left face. Although the other person’s left eye is blinded, the remaining right eye becomes sharper.
And at this time, a hint of scarlet light was circling in the one eye.
"Syer!"
"Eldest Son of Burning Family!"
The other party sneered in a low voice.
The robbers who heard such laughter shuddered involuntarily, subconsciously pulling away from their leader.
But the speed is faster.
......
‘Broken Skull’ both eyes opened wide, Wrath’s emotions were infecting all around, including the ventilated reporter, the heads of the dozens of people around him burst like this.
The red and white brain squirted on the other person's face and body.
The other party completely disregarded these brains, so he rode on the warhorse and headed towards the Gravel Town. After the other party's remaining hands looked at each other, they followed closely.
......
'Bearsman' is like the other party's title, standing there is like a **** bear.
Sturdy enough to completely resemble a human opponent, carrying two adult males with thin spikes on his waist and screaming in the sky, the sturdy body swelled again a few points, to the point where ordinary people were dumbfounded, and the roar It even made the surrounding ground tremble.
"Dead!"
"I want you to die!"
......
At night, it gets deeper and deeper.
The moon exudes a faint glow.
Some caravans that should have rested at this time, they left overnight.
Not forward, but backward.
These people who run businesses on Supreme Road are not stupid.
They all know that a war will be inevitable.
And some residents of Gravel Town also came to the police station in panic, hoping to get the exact news.
But from the captain of the militia who received them, they did not get the news they wanted.
The civilians left one by one in disappointment.
Some hide in the house and hope everything will pass.
Others simply join the caravan and prepare to leave first.
The latter is definitely not a minority.
Looking at the retreating team, Wern wants to block, but there is no reason to restrain these people.
The other party is just businessmen and civilians.
Unique/only made Wern thankful that his men and the newly recruited mercenaries did not serve as deserters, even if they were uneasy.
"Relax everyone."
"With an adult, we will be safe and sound."
"It’s the same as last night."
Wern knows that it must say something to stabilize everyone's emotions.
Otherwise, it will really be in a mess, but youngster can’t think of any encouraging words at all, but only from the things that make him feel at ease.
Fortunately for youngster, the scene last night was indeed shocking.
After hearing what he said, these militia and mercenaries looked uneasy.
Looking at everyone's calm expression, youngster not only felt relieved, but became more irritable.
Because, he knows that Kieran is not in Gravel Town at this moment.
"What should I do?"
"Damn it!"
"If Sir 2567 does not appear once the war begins..."
Thinking about what would happen at that time, Wern could not help rubbing his temples.
He has no idea what to do.
You can only guard the town by doing your best.
"Listen to me now..."
The young militia captain started to arrange mission.
Special antlers made of pine fir bundled with thorns were placed one by one at the entrance of Gravel Town.
Behind the gate of the town, feces and some herbs were rolled in the large iron pot that was boiled, and the arrows were immersed in them for more than ten seconds before they were taken out.
This is the simplest way of smearing poison, partly from the hunter, and partly from the teaching of the Hall army.
The combination of the two is enough to increase the power of the arrows.
One by one, one handle was just sent to the militia from the leather armor and Longsword found in the robber and bandit den. The militia replaced the new leather armor and Longsword and began to receive arrows.
As for the bow?
All are self-provided.
The mercenaries rejected leather armor and Longsword. They were more accustomed to their weapons and equipment, but they did not refuse bows and arrows.
Everyone knows the importance of bows and arrows when occupying favorable terrain.
Time passes by one minute and one second.
Except for the captain of the militia and the mayor of the sentry, everyone is seizing the news.
The Sznak trio whispered in the shadow somewhere.
"What should I do?"
"Damn Syer concealed the most important things from us. He never told us that those things were ‘Sand Bandit’’ Broken Skull’ and ‘Bearsman’ ready to be traded.”
Sznak looks dignified.
Kieran is not in Gravel Town, Sznak knows.
So, Sznak is extremely nervous at this time.
Because Sznak knows the three groups of ‘Sand Bandit’, ‘Broken Skull’ and ‘Bearsman’, or more precisely, the three robbers. The leader of the regiment is terrible.
The most direct evidence is that Burning Dawn once released bounty. Anyone who kills one of the three people can get the status of "Knight" and can receive the kind of Yi Cong.
If you kill two of the three, you will be given the identity of the Lord directly.
If all three are killed, the identity of the Lord will become hereditary, and Burning Dawn will be given a corresponding military post.
From civilian to noble.
Change from noble to hereditary noble.
From hereditary noble to real hereditary noble.
Every one is so tempting.
But the three leaders of ‘Sand Bandit’, ‘Broken Skull’ and ‘Bearsman’, except for the anomalous chase that was chased by Burning Dawn at the beginning, they still lived exceptionally nourishingly, and the momentum became louder.
"Don’t forget, we come to the purpose of Supreme Road."
Willey smiled, pretending to say lightly.
"Yes, we came here to prove ourselves and kill one or two of the three, so that we can obtain the corresponding identity, but this does not mean that we can deal with them at the same time."
After a long sigh, Sznak looked at Blue.
"Divine Archer's promise, I will not regret it until death."
Blue answered simply and directly.
"Promise is a man's romance, how can I repent?"
Willey also nodded.
Facing the words of two friends, Sznak rolled his eyes.
"I didn't say I want to regret it!"
"I mean what should we do?"
"How to fight?"
Sznak asked.
"Shoot them!"
"Sneak into them!"
Blue and Willey said at the same time.
And the answers of the two friends let Sznak cover his face.
"Specifically?"
Sznak asked a bit unwillingly.
"Shoot them with bows and arrows!"
Blue raised his longbow.
"Sneak into them with a dagger!"
Willey picked up his dagger.
Sznak stared blankly at the two friends, and suddenly there was an urge to cry.
"I knew it was a mistake to come to Supreme Road with you."
"I should not leave Capital of Dawn."
"I will not be forced to sign a contract here without leaving Capital of Dawn."
"I’m not forced to sign a contract and I won’t die here with two idiots."
Twin Swordsman muttered to himself.
However, at the next moment, Twin Swordsman, who squatted and muttered there, stood up straight and looked at the entrance of Gravel Town like electricity.
Da, da da.
The faint sound of horseshoes passed into the town with the night breeze.
Qiao!
Sznak double swords came out of the sheath, and quickly walked towards the gate of the town~IndoMTL.com~Although he was nagging, but the action of Twin Swordsman never violated the principle.
Pledged, he will fulfill.
Even if there is no contract.
Looking at the back of a friend, Blue and Willey smiled at each other.
Only friends of Twin Swordsman will understand how reliable the other party is at critical moments.
"Go!"
"Leave the cover to me!"
Blue jumped on the roof with a jump and pulled the bow and arrow.
"Go!"
"Guy in the dark, I will help you solve it!"
Willey takes a step back and the whole person dives into the shadows.
The trio from Capital of Dawn showed tacit cooperation.
However, few people saw such a scene.
When Wern heard the sound of a horseshoe, his face changed.
"It's finished!"
"Sir 2567 has not returned yet!"
Wern is not a youngster who is good at disguising himself.
The change of face made the militia and mercenaries who watched him suddenly heart.
Then, they looked at the public security office behind them.
It's dark there.
There is no slight movement.
In contrast, the sound of horseshoes in the distance became louder and louder.
The hearts of the militia and mercenaries sank with such a hoof.
A mercenary could not help but open his mouth.
"Will adults that person..."
squeak!
The words of the police station were opened from the inside before the words were finished.
The slightly harsh opening of the door was covered by the sound of horseshoes, but everyone heard it clearly, as if hearing a delightful hymn, everyone looked at that person with joy A man with a proud face and a step forward.
They watched the other person walk in slowly.
They listen to the other's disdainful words.
"Humble ants."
