A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 114. Chapter 114

Basha and his subordinates have been waiting in the dark tunnel for a long time.

He is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, waiting patiently and quietly for the opportunity to come.

In the battle in the evening two days ago, his fleet was beaten to abandon its armor and armor, and countless pirates raised their hands and surrendered. But he saw things and couldn’t do anything, so he made a decisive decision, put on the old clothes of poor citizens with a dozen confidantes, abandoned the boat and jumped into the sea to escape.

Before escaping, they also sent a semaphore to order the pirate warship in the distance to break through the siege desperately, attracting everyone’s attention.

In the end, two or three warships managed to escape from the siege. Everyone thought that he was on those ships, so they chased after him. But no one thought that Basha would do the opposite. As a poor civilian, he sneaked into the city while the people were busy after the war.

How could he run away with his tail clipped like a bereaved dog?

This pirate leader with ambitions to become a powerful presence in this sea sneered so in his heart.

Don’t think that if your fleet is now defeated, you will lose.

You know, the winner is the one who laughs last.

After capturing the former Tozes naval commander Taka, he tortured him severely, completely shattering the guy’s proud spine, and forcing him to confess everything unreservedly.

One of the things Takar said caught Basha’s attention, which is why Basha made up his mind to sneak into the city.

Taka said that in order to facilitate secretly transporting important slaves, hiding large amounts of finances, and secretly contacting the consul, his brother and the consul secretly built a tunnel under the governing government, one leading directly to his brother’s home, and the other. Ruins somewhere in the Xiacheng district.

Taka also said that the prince lived in the ruling government.

As a result, Basha had a plan in his heart.

Rather than fleeing like this griefly and defeated, there is no chance of turning over again… he would rather take a risky death once.

You know, pirates have always been desperadoes.

Rather than living in a humble life, he would rather give his life and go out for a gamble!

As long as he wins the bet, he can come back!

After sneaking into the city, Basha and his party, led by Taka, sneaked into the secret tunnel, and soon got into the ruling government underground.

To Basha’s excitement, among the exits in the ruling government room, one of the exits happened to be at the current residence of the prince.

It’s like God is helping him.

He and his subordinates patiently waited for a long time at the secret tunnel exit, and finally waited until there was no chance for anyone else in the room, so they immediately filed out and fainted the sick prince and abducted them.

At this moment, the pedestrian has crawled out of the narrow section to a wider section.

Everyone buried their heads and walked forward quickly, but apart from the mournful face of Taka who was tied up, the faces of the other pirates were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

As he walked, Basha kept looking sideways at the sack he was carrying. The thought of who was in that sack made him feel extremely happy.

Even if it is as noble as a prince of a country, it still falls into his hands.

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, Basha thought in a good mood.

As long as the prince is in his hands, everyone in Tozes must listen to him.

He pondered.

First, let the army release all the captured pirates.

Of course, all the ships must be handed over… It’s a pity that there are not enough people to drive away, but it doesn’t matter, the ones that can’t be taken are burned on the spot.

Then, let them surrender enough property and women…

A fierce light flashed in Basha’s eyes.

However, even if the Tozes had fulfilled all his requirements, he would not return the prince who had spoiled his good deeds.

You know, I ended up so miserably now because of this kid!

Otherwise, Tozes City would have been in his bag.

When the time comes, when he leaves with his belongings, he will cut off Prince Aaron Landis’ head severely in front of everyone.

He wants everyone to know and dare to fight him against Basha!

……………………

Not long after the pirates left with the prince, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the quiet room. The footsteps were very messy, obviously more than one person.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and the dark boots entered the room first.

The next second, the boots gave a sudden stop.

There was no one in the empty room.

Among the snow-white beds, there was no figure of the blond boy who should have been sleeping on it.

The doctors who followed the door looked around in astonishment, but did not find the prince.

what happened?

They wondered, and glanced at each other.

Hiemos took a few steps and rushed to the side of the bed. He reached out and opened the quilt. There was still warmth in the quilt. It was obvious that Gallan was still lying here a few minutes ago.

A little breeze came from behind him, and he turned his head abruptly, and saw that the wooden window that he had personally closed not long ago was wide open at this moment.

His breathing paused for a second at this moment, and he also paused for a moment with his body.

“What’s the matter? Why are you surrounded here?”

A loud voice came from outside, and the blond knight stretched out his hand to open the doctor and maid who were whispering in the doorway, and strode in.

A dark-skinned, rough-skinned man came in behind him. The man’s muscular upper arm had a tattoo representing his status as a slave.

“Prince Huimos?”

When he saw the scene in the room, Kaihuos, who had brought that special middle-aged slave to see Garlan, was shocked in his heart.

He walked over quickly.

“What’s the matter? Isn’t His Highness Gallan resting here?”

Huimos ignored him. He stood by the bed, his face gloomy, and his whole body exuded a terrible breath.

Before Kayhus got to the bed, he turned around abruptly and stepped a few steps to the wide open window.

At the edge of the window, I saw a torn strip of cloth hanging on the hook corner, fluttering in the wind. He stretched out his hand to pull the cloth strip off, and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Kaihus had already followed the window.

Seeing the current situation and Heimos’ movements, his heart sinks fiercely.

He glanced at the cloth strip in Heimos’s hand, and asked in a low voice: “Have you been kidnapped? Is it a pirate remnant?”

Huimos did not answer, but squeezed the cloth in his hand tightly, and violent veins were faintly visible on the back of his hand.

The gazes from those golden red eyes staring out the window were extremely terrifying.

He turned around abruptly and sternly directed at the black-armored knights who had heard the sound and were already standing at the door.

“Immediately the whole city is under martial law! Close the city gates! No one is allowed to enter or leave!”

Kaihus behind him followed closely.

“We search separately!”

The knight outside the door nodded solemnly, and was about to disperse immediately. They guarded the door, but did not realize that someone sneaked into the room to take the prince away. It was their negligence.

If it weren’t for knowing that the most urgent thing at the moment is to find the prince, they would directly plead guilty at this moment.

As soon as the middle-aged slave man who followed Kayjos entered the door, he showed a puzzled look. He sniffed vigorously with his nose, as if he had smelled some scent remaining in the air. Then, he wandered around the house, his sharp eyes like a beast scanned the whole house from beginning to end.

Finally, his gaze fell to one place.

When Huimos and Kayjos were about to rush out of the room, he stopped them.

“My lord, if you rush out like this, the prince will be taken away.”

His words brought the footsteps of Huimos and Kayjos to an abrupt halt.

The two turned their heads at the same time and looked at him.

The man didn’t talk nonsense, grabbed a chair and slammed it. The wooden chair shattered, leaving only one chair leg in his hand.

The man walked quickly to the fireplace and prodded directly toward the inside of the fireplace with a wooden leg.

After a few consecutive jabs, it was a dull sound at first, but then suddenly there was a crisp bang. It was obvious that the place where the chair leg hit was not a solid brick and stone, and it seemed to be empty inside.

The man thought to himself that it was so.

Cleaning a dusty fireplace is generally a slave’s job, and he did it many times before becoming a gladiator.

Just walked in and looked around, and he felt that there was something wrong with the fireplace, as if it was a bit too clean and there was no filth for years.

In the next second, he used another fierce force, the room cried with a loud noise, and the secret door there was brutally knocked open by him, revealing a half-person-high passage.

Without saying anything, the man bowed his head and crawled in.

The situation of the ruling government was handed over to Seth, who hurried over, and Huimos and Kayjos went straight into the secret tunnel with their knights.

Seeing the traces left in the secret tunnel, everyone felt nervous, and it seemed that the prince must have been taken away from here by those pirate remnants. Suddenly, they quickened their pace to catch up.

Only halfway through, I ran into a problem again. The underpass diverged in the middle, leading to two directions respectively.

Judging from the traces in the secret roads, there are traces of people leaving on both roads.

Now there is really no time to think carefully, and there is no room for half a mistake. Huimos and Kayjos simply divided into two groups, one of them picked one and hurriedly pursued them.

…………

……………………

After driving in the underpass for a long time, Basha, who has always been thoughtful, deliberately divided three or four subordinates at the fork, and asked them to tie Taka to the underpass leading to the house of Brother Taka in the upper city.

Although he felt that it would take a while for the secret path to be discovered, but if it was discovered, this could delay or reduce the pursuit of troops.

He got in from the secret tunnel entrance in the remote ruins of the Xiacheng District, leaving two henchmen guarding at the entrance, and told them to do two more things while staying there.

Now that he has successfully kidnapped the prince, he naturally wants to leave there.

At the end of the underpass, the entrance of the underpass was blocked by two wooden boards. Basha squatted in the corner and knocked on the wooden boards one after another. He sent out the agreed signal with the percussive sound. At the same time, his hand tightened his waist. Scimitar, tensed his body ready to go, and assumed a violent attack posture.

Not long after, another kind of percussive signal sounded outside, which was a signal agreed upon by him and his men in advance.

He breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the scimitar.

Soon, the wooden door was opened, and fire light came in from outside.

It was dark and it was dark outside, and the two subordinates arranged by Basha were waiting at the door holding torches.

When they saw Basha coming out with his companions, the two men were also relieved.

Basha climbed out of the underpass with the four people behind him.

Because the mood was tense, and the rush all the way too eagerly, the few people were sweating profusely and panting, especially the pirate carrying the sack was very tired, and his forehead was soaked with sweat.

He put the sack he was carrying on the ground and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Basha wanted to confirm if the prince was still in a coma, and was a little worried about suffocating him in the sack, so he stepped forward, pulled the sack open, and let it out.

The released boy lay on the ground, tilted his head slightly, revealing a slender and white side neck.

Long hair like flowing gold scattered all over the ground, like melted gold dripping all over the ground.

The flame of the torch reflected on the soft and white skin, and the burning redness added an indescribable temptation to the white complexion.

The loose clothes fell loosely, revealing half of the beautifully-lined shoulders, and the arc of the collarbone that was outlined was unusually attractive.

The boy closed his eyes, his pale pink lips were slightly open, and he breathed quickly.

The thin, reddish skin oozes fine sweat. He frowns, with a look that is somewhat uncomfortable. The butterfly-like eyelashes tremble from time to time, and the tip of the eyelashes inexplicably seems to have swept people. Deep in my heart.

The surrounding air seemed to be still at this moment, and several pirates kept their eyes and breathing, and even Basha was quiet for a moment.

After a while, the torch-flare pirate swallowed and spoke in a low voice.

“Boss, this little prince… is so pretty.”

“idiot.”

Basha slapped the talking pirate severely on the head, and said sharply.

“Hurry up, don’t rest, if those guys find out that the prince is gone, and the whole city is under martial law, it will be difficult for us to get out.”

While instructing a pirate guarding at the entrance of the secret passage to carry the prince on his back, he urged the pirates who were sitting on the ground to get up and drive on the way at night.

Under his stern urging, several pirates who had only rested for less than a few minutes stood up.

A pirate is bending over, stretching out his hand, intending to carry the prince who is still in a coma on his back.

And the other pirate holding the torch turned around and found a rope beside the underpass, which was arranged by the boss when the two of them guarded the underpass.

He drew the scimitar, intending to cut the tight rope.

Basha looked up at a distant place in the night. In front of him was a huge ruin. It was the remains of the temple. The mutilated hall was still standing, and the broken pillars collapsed. There are few wooden boards and scattered cloth.

Going around the ruins and rushing to the river not far away, there will be a clipper waiting to meet him.

As long as he held the prince aboard…

The shocking glance under the firelight flashed in his mind, and his heart became a little hot.

At that time, the kid was in a hurry and didn’t pay much attention to it. Now, the little prince is indeed pretty.

He has lived for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a good-looking person.

Although it was decided that the prince would not be returned, it seemed a bit wasteful to chop off such a beautiful boy.

Basha thought.

Anyway, he has always been male and female.

It’s better to hide this little prince, tune it up and teach him a little bit, and let him become his own forbidden…

Just when Basha was dreaming about the future where he led countless pirates, piloted countless pirate warships, and took the beautiful boy prince to the sea, suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air in the sky.

A sense of crisis suddenly came to my mind.

Basha instinctively hid.

With a swish, a sharp arrow went past the back of his heart, but it still pierced his body fiercely, piercing his chest all at once.

There were several wailing sounds around him, and then the sound of a heavy body falling to the ground.

He escaped the deadly arrow, but his men did not have his skills and luck, and were shot through the throat and heart by sharp arrows shot from the secret tunnels.

As soon as Basha turned around, he saw that his men had fallen to the ground, their eyes widened, their pupils dilated, and their breath disappeared.

All were killed by an arrow.

His pupils shrank violently, and he subconsciously looked into the dark tunnel where the sharp arrow was shot.

In the dark dark tunnel, in the faint firelight, a pair of golden-red eyes were full of sorrow and looked from a distance.

A little cold light in the bottom of the eyes was extremely frightening.

At that glance, this vicious pirate was shocked for a moment.

But after that touch of fright, Basha’s fierceness as a pirate was completely aroused.

With a grim expression on his face, he was abruptly greeted by a few arrows, letting the arrows pierce his shoulders and legs-desperately, he slammed the wooden door of the underpass with a slam. .

Then, he turned around, severely chopped down with a scimitar in his hand, cutting off the rope that his men hadn’t had time to cut.

With a loud bang, the gravel piled up above the inclined underpass suddenly fell, immediately burying the underpass.

Basha stood at the secret crossing with a machete in his hand, panting, with a few arrows pierced from his body, one of which pierced his chest.

He stood in the dark, looking at the underpass blocked by gravel, at the corpse of a place, and listening to the crashing sound coming from the buried underpass.

The bet was lost.

He gritted his teeth and thought.

He lost the bet again.

His eyes turned to the young man who was still lying quietly on the ground, asleep.

His eyes were ferocious, and his face was extremely fierce.

Basha made a terrible and crazy decision at this moment.

He bent down to pick up a torch that had fallen to the ground, then bent down again, and carried Garlan on his shoulders.

Then, with his last strength, he staggered towards the ruins of the temple not far away.

Behind him, inside the secret tunnel entrance that was blocked by gravel, the dull crash sounded constantly in the night.

On the road he walked, drops of blood fell to the ground.

…

Step by step, with one last breath, Basha carried Garlan into the depths of the ruins of the temple.

The road he walked was covered with blood stains.

His burly body was swaying along the way, as if he would fall down anytime and anywhere. But he gritted his teeth and held the breath alive and well.

His teeth were clenched to the point where the muscles on his face began to twitch.

After winding several bends in the ruins of the temple, walking to the depths of the ruins, Basha put Garlan down.

Then he walked back step by step.

Walking to a circle outside the ruins, he smelled the faint smell of oil in the air.

He grinned.

That was what he asked the two men who stayed behind to sprinkle oil around the ruins, and when they flee, they would light the place to interfere with the attention of the pursuers.

Basha stood at the entrance of the ruined main hall.

The blood from the corner of his mouth was constantly leaking out.

He stood there with a grinning grin, and threw the torch in his hand onto the pile of waste wood.

With a bang, the oil-stained wood suddenly burst into flames, and the flames spread in all directions in an instant.

In just a few minutes, the ruined hall burned violently.

In the dark night, crimson flames surrounded Basha in the ruins.

He stood in the flames, laughing hysterically and frantically.

I lost.

Don’t you guys want to win!

I want all of you to watch your prince accompany me this damn pirate to death in the sea of flames!
