[Chapter 345 Shortcuts]

Having said that, he looked at Sekelian, with a flattering smile on his face, nodding and bowing and said, “S… Sir Sekelian, if I tell you where the tunnel is, you… you will give it to me. What kind of reward?”

Cykrian suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said with a smile, “If you can prove that what you said is true, you have made a great contribution to the Kingdom of Dionia, and you will become a leader in at least two years. A full citizen of Dionia, enjoy the many rights granted to you by the kingdom!”

“It’s still two years…” Carmilus was still a little dissatisfied, but when he saw Cykerian staring at him fiercely, he immediately said loudly: “Of course that tunnel is real! It’s in Lampukuba’s house!”

His words aroused the curiosity of the workers: “Which Lampukuba?”

“Of course it is Lampukuba of the Hanno family! Lee Rampukuba, the richest merchant in Libe!” Carmilus straightened his chest and looked proud.

“You lied! The people of Lampukuba’s family are high, how could you have contact with them! It’s even more impossible to know such a secret!” The young Setonus expressed doubts, which was recognized by many workers.

“Of course it’s true!” Seeing that Cykrian was also suspicious, Calmulus explained anxiously: “One night three years ago, I was bored alone, wandering in the port area… um …I don’t know why… I walked into Lampukuba’s house–”

At this moment, Setonus snorted coldly, the mockery on his face was obviously saying: What is approaching unknowingly, you clearly I just want to go in and steal something!

Calmulus was thick-skinned and didn’t care, and continued: “His house is too big, I got lost, I couldn’t go out for a while, and I was afraid of running into their guards, so I had to find a place to hide, and I happened to overhear it. The general manager of his family and his subordinates are talking quietly, ‘the military rations from the southwest army camp will be transported out through the tunnel at home’… I heard that Lampukuba has great status and power in Carthage, and his servants are in Lilibe. No one dared to provoke me… I knew this big secret, if they knew it, would I still be alive! I was terrified at the time, and after I finally came out, I kept this secret in my heart, and no one dared to say it. They don’t even know…”

He pointed at the laborers with contempt, and then immediately put on an admiring look, and said to Sekelian: “I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, and you easily got this secret from me!” The

excited Sekeli Ann didn’t have time to pay attention to his flattery, and immediately asked: “Where is that Lampukuba’s house?!”

“I know, I’ll take you there!…” Many workers rushed to answer, all wanting to make a contribution. , to get rewards.

“Wait!” Calmulus shouted: “Lord Sekelian, Lampukuba’s house is very large, and it is not easy to find a tunnel! It is better to interrogate Lampukuba and his family directly!”

Seekrian looked at him and felt that although this guy has a bad character, his brain is still very good, so he turned around and said to the soldiers: “Take him and immediately go and arrest Lampukuba for me!”

“Yes !

!” The soldiers responded loudly, and they couldn’t contain their excitement: Lord Sekelian’s seemingly joking order actually held the key to the door to victory!

……………………………………

The warships of the 3rd Fleet were docked at the pier one after another, and Leotizides disembarked and was about to gather the soldiers of the Eighth Legion who had landed one after another

. I saw the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade hurriedly running towards him.

“Sekirion wants me to see him? What’s the matter?” Leotizides was surprised after listening to the team members’ words.

“General, it’s a very important matter about capturing this city. You’ll know when you go!” The team member said sternly, but he couldn’t hide the excitement in his tone. He also reminded: “It’s better to bring less people, Avoid attracting the attention of the enemy at the head of the city.”

Leotidides was aroused, he asked Tagluo to be in charge of assembling the troops, and he brought a detachment of soldiers from the flagship, followed closely with the members of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, and walked quickly. Go to the port area.

Although Liliba is Carthage’s military center in Sicily, as the only and truly directly subordinate town of Carthage in Sicily, the Carthaginians have poured a lot of money and manpower into it over the past 20 years, and it has also promoted It is prosperous in maritime trade, so the area of the port area is not small, warehouses, shops, and markets are row upon row, the streets are straight, and the houses are densely packed, but they are neatly planned, and the further you go, the larger the area of the houses. , is getting more and more luxurious… It’s just that there are hardly any people in such a big place. Most of the people in the port area have been driven to the vicinity of the city gate. Of course, this is not only the credit of the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, but also the Sicilian Fleet. The role of the infantry.

After he learned that the tunnel was hidden in Lampkuba’s residence, while he sent someone to arrest the insider, he also quickly dispatched thousands of fleet infantry on the crow warship to completely destroy the people in the port area. Evicted from the port area to avoid leaks.

Therefore, Leotides and the others walked in the empty blocks, because there was no light and it was too dark, and they tripped over the dead bodies on the road from time to time.

“Why haven’t we arrived yet? Where are we going?” The squad leader couldn’t help asking. He fell twice along the way, his helmet was crooked, his nose was swollen, and there was a lot of resentment in his heart.

At this time, Leotidides did not stop him, because he was still thinking about what the mountain scout team said before “taking Liliba”, and he didn’t notice that he was approaching the city wall of Liliba.

The mountain scout team who led the way said repeatedly: ” It’s almost here! It’s almost there!”

After walking more than 10 meters, he stopped and pointed to the open door beside the road and said, “We’re here, let’s go in, Lord Sekelian. I’m

waiting for you inside.”

But Leotidides stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment, and he suddenly found that the walls of this house were much higher than the walls of other houses, more than four meters high, and Although the texture of the door is not clear, it is very thick, and the people living here are definitely not ordinary people!

“…”

At this moment, someone came out to greet him: “Lord Leotizides, you are finally here, Lord Sekelian is waiting anxiously!

”

This man was the infantry captain of the Sicilian Fleet, and Leotizides had seen it before, and then he was completely relieved, stepped forward, and said, “What the hell did Cykrian find out? Mysterious?”

“A tunnel leading to the city!” The captain whispered excitedly: “Lord Sekelian learned from the mouths of those dock workers, and he specially asked the mountain scouts to capture the people in this house. After killing several prisoners, I forced them to ask.”

So this is the way His Majesty said!

…Leotizides was refreshed, and immediately said, “Take me to see it!”

The area of this house should be quite large. After passing the side gate again, there is a corridor, wide enough to pass a large carriage, which goes straight east against the courtyard wall.

Leotides looked at the city wall that was getting closer and closer, and he could even hear the deafening shouts coming from the side, and he seemed to understand.

After walking a few dozen meters, there were tall buildings resembling warehouses in front of them. The brigade captain pointed to one of them and said, “Lord Cykrian is inside.”

Leotidides didn’t Going in immediately, he

looked

around carefully again, then pointed to the left and asked, “Is the gate that leads from the port to the city over there?”

Then he said: “Yes, it’s over there, there are thousands of people gathered there, the mountain reconnaissance team and our fleet infantry have spent a lot of effort to drive them away, but the effect is obvious, before you came, Carthage People have never dared to open the city gate…”

Leotides turned his head to look behind him on the right again, and the flames were still burning on the top of the city a few hundred meters away, where the tower gate should be located.

Leotides recalled the map of the city of Liliba that he drew after the interrogation of the Carthaginian crew, and he could now make a clear judgment that behind the city wall in front of him was probably the southwestern barracks of Liliba.

Leotides looked at the dotted torches on the top of the city tens of meters in front of him, took off his helmet subconsciously, covered the purple and red crown with his body, and said to the squad leader next to him. : You go to the gate of the courtyard to guard, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com If there are troops coming in later, tell them not to light torches, not to make any noise, to advance in column formation, and to take off their crowned helmets…”

Leotides said solemnly After the warning, he followed the brigade leader into the warehouse.

There were a lot of things piled up in the warehouse, and a dim light flickered in a corner in front. Sekelian and seven or eight soldiers formed a circle, and there were several others beside them. The soldier was guarding the two prisoners.

Hearing the footsteps, Cykrian turned his head to look back, and said proudly: “Prosaus, come and see, I have brought you a good opportunity to make a great contribution!

Leotidides

ignored his pride and strode over. The

soldiers hurriedly made room, and what appeared in front of Leotides was not the dark hole he imagined, but a more It looks like a cellar, with one-step stone stairs, one wall lamp, hard ground, stacked stone walls and iron pillar support, a straight underground passage leading all the way to the dark front…

Leotti Zeders stood at the entrance of the passage, which was wide enough for three adults to observe it for a while, before stepping on the stone ladder and entering the warehouse. excavated.
