Things from Another World - Chapter 1140
[1140. Chapter 1138 People want to make changes so quickly…]
Just when Tang En was worrying about being promoted to a nanny for no reason, in another part of Blood Rock City, several guys hiding in the shadows were discussing how to “escape from Blood Rock City.”
The embarrassed Baron Lowell Owen was hiding in the dark and damp sewer. He was extremely haggard, his eyes were sunken, his face was dark, his beard was unkempt, and his hair was messy and stuck to his scalp. He looked worse than a homeless man on the street. .
Next to him were his men who had been recruited a while ago and looked even worse than Rowell.
Rowell and his party were relatively lucky. When Stanley was raising an army to go out of the city to attack, he happened to be having a good time with a prostitute. After learning the news of the war, he finally rushed home and put on his clothes. Weapons and armor, when they were about to set off, they watched Stanley’s army fall into hell.
So after hesitating for a moment, he decisively hid with his men, preparing to act according to the opportunity.
Who would have thought that this avoidance would directly allow him to avoid certain death.
When Illrus’s army broke through the city, he decisively led his men into the sewers of Blood Rock City. With a sewer map obtained from the gray rats of the Thieves Guild, he successfully evaded Illus. Ruth’s search has lasted until now.
However, now he has reached his limit.
Of course, the sewers of Blood Rock City cannot be as neat and spacious as Ellington. It is very dark, narrow, and damp. Rats and cockroaches are everywhere. You can occasionally see rotting floating corpses full of maggots. The air is filled with a very bad smell. odor.
What’s even more troublesome is that the dry food they carried has been eaten up, and there is not much drinking water left. If they don’t want to live by eating rats and drinking sewage, they must find a way to get out of here.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of wading in front, and Rowell and others immediately became alert: “Who!?”
“It’s me, Lord Baron.”
Rowell breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked expectant. He asked: “Maren, have you found the food?”
“Fortunately.”
A burst of fire flickered, and a moment later Maren groped over with a torch. He held the torch in one hand and held a leather bag in the other. When he saw that Bag, a group of people’s eyes turned green. Rowell hurriedly took the bag, and then he couldn’t wait to grab the bread inside and started to devour it. After he was half full, he took a rest and drank some water. Only then are others allowed to eat.
Maren climbed up to the platform, then sat down on the ground, took off his boots and started pouring water: “Damn it, I feel like there are eyes drilled into the boots and they were burst by my step, or maybe they were blood-sucking insects.”
” The sewers are full of possibilities. It’s better not to think too much.”
“That’s what you said, sir.”
“Maren, what’s the situation outside now? Can we leave?”
This is what Rowell is most concerned about now. Problem.
After Malen hesitated for a moment, he said honestly: “Not too optimistic. To be honest, Blood Rock City is now loose inside and tight outside. On the surface, there are not many patrol soldiers in the city, but I learned from an old friend that Now the outside of the city has been completely blocked, and the sewer outlets are also being watched.”
“Damn it!”
Rowell cursed secretly, and suddenly asked: “Have you asked for news about His Majesty Stanley?”
“According to According to the news released by Illus, His Majesty Stanley is now dead.”
“What!? This is impossible! His Majesty Stanley is invincible!”
“But this is a fact…”
Maren hesitated, and then He whispered: “Actually, we can go out directly now without risking our lives.”
“Why?”
“The captured city defenders were not executed. It is said that they will be sent to Illu The Sri Lankan Empire, and then receive compulsory training to work in mines and factories. After serving for 20 years, you can be free. If you perform well, your service time can be shortened.”
Rowell was furious: “You mean, let me, The great Baron Owen took the initiative to change from a noble nobleman to a hard worker serving in the mines!?”
Mullen’s heart thumped, and he said hurriedly: “Sir, please calm down, that’s not what I meant.”
“But that’s what you obviously meant. “
I think it would be better to at least escape from the current environment and serve in the mines than to hide in the sewers, right?”
Mullen tested Rowell: “What’s more, with your ability, as long as you can escape from the current environment. According to the situation, when the time comes, we will gather a new team and find a way to deal with this Twain…”
Rowell became even more angry: “Even His Majesty Stanley died in his hands, and you still ask me to deal with that Twain! ? Do you think I have that ability!?”
Mullen smiled bitterly: “As long as you get out of the current situation first, you can do whatever you want then.”
After Rowell calmed down, he glanced at the dark sewer and sighed. He said in a voice: “You are right. The first thing we need to consider now is how to leave here safely… After leaving here, we can go to Frozen Stone City in the south. A friend I know serves as a garrison officer in Frozen Stone City and can help us. Recommend the city lord. If you can persuade him to send troops, there may be a chance to turn defeat into victory.”
Malen smiled bitterly after hearing this, Frozen Stone City?
Now that the entire southwest area of Grace has completely turned into a no-man’s land, with thousands of miles of wasteland barren of grass, where can we ask for help?
“Then let’s get ready to leave here.”
Malen said: “I have already investigated the other party’s shift time. They work three shifts every day, and there is a ten-minute time difference in between. If we grasp the time well, we can completely transfer from the sewer outside the city. Escape from the drain.”
“Okay! Eat and drink quickly and hit the road!”
Rowell grabbed another piece of bread and ate it: “Maren, you must be exhausted after working outside for so long. You should also sit down and eat something.”
“No need.”
Maren subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth. The oily man shook his head: “I’ve already eaten something at my friend’s place. I’m not hungry. You guys should hurry up and eat. We don’t have much time.”
After everyone finished eating in a hurry, they held their noses and jumped into the floating feces. In the dirty sewage, waist-deep sewage started to move towards the outlet.
Along the way, Rowell kept cursing the harsh environment of the sewers. Maren remained silent. Rowell had only been a nobleman for a few days and had not learned much about his manners. He learned bad habits very quickly. Seeing how disgusted he was With such a look, I thought he had been a pampered nobleman since birth, but in fact, he used to scavenge for things in the sewers.
Thinking about himself again, Mullen couldn’t help but sigh. Sometimes people have to make changes so quickly…
Listening to Rowell’s curses all the way, everyone’s nerves were about to weaken, so when they saw the exit When the light shone, everyone burst into tears with excitement.
Rowell seemed to know that the current situation was quite special, so he immediately shut up and asked Mullen with his eyes: Is the time up?
Malen responded to him with his eyes, waited a moment, and then quietly crawled towards the exit. After looking for a moment, he waved his hands behind him: “It’s safe, come here.”
Rowell and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to move towards the exit. They approached the exit, and when they saw the empty river bank outside the exit, they were overjoyed, cheered and rushed out of the drainage outlet.
“Hiss! I have never noticed that the air is so sweet and refreshing!”
Rowell took a deep breath. The cold winter wind refreshed his spirit, and his face was full of intoxication.
Finally escaped from that dark sewer!
The subordinates next to them saw the light again and were so excited that they almost cried.
“Hmph! Just wait and see! I will definitely come back!”
Rowell stared at the walls of Blood Rock City and said viciously: “I will lead the army of Frozen Stone City to drive you damn invaders out of Blood Rock City and become a Grace’s hero!”
“Sorry, I’m afraid you won’t have this chance.”
“Of course I have -“
Rowell suddenly woke up and shouted sharply: “Who is it!?”
Waves of air came to his face. , a team of ten people riding Comet motorcycles roared and landed in front of them: “I declare that you have been arrested. Put down your weapons immediately and stop resisting. Otherwise, you will be regarded as resisting arrest and be shot.” “
How did it come so fast! “
Rowell was shocked and angry: “Maren! Didn’t you say there is a ten-minute time difference between their shifts!?”
“Sorry Rowell – oh, it’s Baron Owen.”
Mullen said apologetically: “Actually I was discovered by them as soon as I came out of the sewer… What I just told you was what they asked me to do.”
Rowell became furious: “How dare you betray me!?”
“No. , In fact, I have never received a copper salary from you, so the affiliation between us is not established.”
Mullen shook his head and said: “In that case, why should I sacrifice myself for you? It’s better to I will use you in exchange for my freedom.”
After saying that, Mullen turned around and said: “My lords, I have brought them out as promised. This is Baron Lowell Owen, a very trusted subordinate of Stanley. With him It’s definitely worth it in exchange for my freedom.”
“No! You’re talking nonsense! I’m not Stanley’s confidant!”
When Rowell heard what Mullen said, he didn’t understand what Mullen meant and deliberately elevated his identity. Status, in order to exchange for his freedom to the greatest extent!
This damn bastard!
He doesn’t even have the most basic sense of loyalty and honor!
?
“Don’t worry. Since I said I would give you freedom, I will definitely not break my promise. You are already free. Whether you want to go back to Blood Rock City or go somewhere else, it’s up to you.”
The captain of the patrol team jumped After getting out of the car, he pointed the magic pistol in his hand at Rowell: “You haven’t put down your weapons and surrender, are you trying to force us to take action?”
Rowell hesitated again and again, and finally threw away the long sword in his hand bitterly and cursed. : “Maren! You will definitely die! You will be wanted by the city lords of Grace, I guarantee it!”
“Other city lords?”
Several Illrus guards laughed and looked at them with sarcasm. Looking at Rowell: “So you don’t know yet, the city lords of the remaining cities in Grace have all declared their surrender.”
“What!? This is impossible!!!”
But this is a fact.
On the third day after Tang En issued the notice, after the messengers arrived in the major cities in Grace, they received the oath of allegiance from the city lords on the same day. Counting the days, they should have arrived in Blood Rock City to meet Tang En in person.
