The final chapter. Finding truth in grief and despair (Part 2) [True Ending](2/7)
These three humans were not human slaves who would honestly participate in the plan. They did have the possibility of escaping, so before the action was about to take place, the boy left a strong tiger warrior and a strong orc warrior on the boat to watch.
"Yes, yes! Our goods and people are all at your place! They won't run away."
The captain of this ship was a Stiva. He spent all his money to buy this extremely fast steamer just to engage in smuggling in coastal countries. This was a bad luck.
The young man said: "After completing this, not only will you be free, but you will also be able to get your goods back, and we will give you a remuneration based on the market price of the ship's hire fee, so that you will not let your work go in vain."
"really?"
The captain and others were overjoyed at the young man's promise.
"Yes, I do what I say. And you can see that the orcs believe me, right? I can't win their trust by any deception."
The young man has no intention of breaking his promise. He is not a person who likes to lie, and as long as he can stabilize the morale of the army, this is certainly a business that will make a profit without losing any money.
"Okay, we will be here until you come back."
The captain was a middle-aged strong man, but compared to these orc warriors, he was just a skinny duck. The boy sent two fully armed orc warriors to monitor the three of them, and the boy's promise was not there.
Whoever thinks of it, and these two warriors are also equivalent to the guards of the ship, and can deal with many dangerous situations.
At the same time, the three humans on the boat looked at this human boy who could give orders to these orcs with great fear and confusion.
But now they have no other choice but to trust the boy.
"Okay! Let's go!"
There was no time to waste. If he wanted to rescue Lan Ji, he had to do it as soon as possible!
The young man led all the orc warriors to the dark cave.
...
"In other words, all the four thousand slaves in our city may have escaped by boat?"
Feng Ze was sitting on the animal skin chair in the office, his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He was holding the jewelry crutch tightly with both hands, and seemed to be using it to hold down his own hands with bulging veins.
"Yes, yes! The dungeon is empty, and we also found many brothers who were tied up."
The soldier who reported the situation was very frightened. He didn't know whether the furious Feng Ze would turn his anger on him, so he only dared to stare at the floor for fear of offending him.
"What a bunch of losers! If they fail to succeed, they will fail!"
In anger, Feng Ze slapped the table with his palm. The sandalwood table immediately broke into two pieces, and the papers and books were scattered on the floor.
"Well!!"
The soldier immediately curled up in fear. He had never seen such a battle before. It was hard to say whether Feng Ze would split him in half like the table.
"You go down..."
However, Feng Ze suppressed the anger in his heart immediately after venting it. He would not vent his anger to his subordinates at will, and he knew very well who he should vent his anger on.
"Yes! Yes!"
The soldier rolled and crawled out of Feng Ze's office.
Buzz...buzz...buzz...
There was another sound from the sound transmitting square stone, and Feng Ze put it in the palm of his hand.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
"There is new news at the port."
Wu Gang held the sound transmission square stone and walked among the neat queue of soldiers.
"The merchant ships controlled by slaves just now seemed to want to return to port, but our people repelled them."
"They want to come back?"
Feng Ze suddenly felt that this matter became interesting.
"Yes, I think the news about the woman's arrest spread."
Wu Gang looked at the ships that had disappeared in the mist. Tieyu City, which had not developed sea trade for a long time, did not have warships. It was impossible to pursue them. No matter how strong Wu Gang and his army were, they could not
We cannot all put on wings or suddenly become as light as a swallow and chase after them on the water.
"Oh? That's really fast. It saves me a lot of effort."
Feng Ze smiled, this was a moment of relief that he had not seen for a long time today.
"Do you need our people to strengthen the defense here?"
Wu Gang asked. He was no longer sure of his judgment. His opponents were completely out of touch with common sense, and he couldn't guess their actions.
"No, you only need to arrange a small number of manpower at the port to be on guard. They are just feigning an attack."
"What do you mean? I saw they wanted to send someone in."
Wu Gang believed that the only way for those people to enter the city was through the port, and he had also seen the other party send small boats to try to land on the edge, but they retreated as soon as the city defense troops arrived.
"That's the trick. There is never any mystery where the trickster's finger points."
Feng Ze, who sat back down, bent down and picked up the broken city map on the ground, put it on his lap and put it together.
"There are actually not many choices they can make, and the optimal solutions to achieve their goals are just a few possibilities."
Feng Ze's fingers traced the winding and hidden paths, and now he has basically grasped the opponent's countermeasures.
"We don't need to be nervous. The initiative actually lies with us. You can just arrange manpower in these places."
Then Feng Ze told Wu Gang his plan. Wu Gang listened attentively and nodded frequently during the process. After understanding, he immediately led his elite men into action.
...
Underground cave, unknown location.
There was almost no light in the cave, and the orc warriors held torches to illuminate the surroundings, while Bai Feng and Nurahan walked at the front of the team, followed by the young man.
"This seems to be a natural cave."
Bai Feng looked at the surrounding rock walls and found that there didn't seem to be many traces of manual excavation on them.
"Yes, the city lord uses it as a secret passage. Once something happens in the city, he will escape from here to the outside of the city."
The young man still had the memory of Uluka in his mind. He knew very well that there was such a secret passage leading to the outside in the west of the city. It was even a little baffling. He seemed to have seen the appearance of these caves with his own eyes.
"etc."
Tiger warrior Zhan Ya held a torch and stopped beside an extremely rough wall.
"Those scratches don't seem right."
To be precise, it was not one scratch, but hundreds of scratches that turned the wall that should have been smooth and rounded by the water into this appearance.
"Guys! Get your weapons."
Nurahan shouted, and everyone went into alert state.
"I'm afraid this is already the nest of something."
The young man also understood the reason why the orcs were nervous. Except for this wall, there were unnatural scratches on the other walls, like marks made by some kind of large beast.
"Let's move on and be careful not to let the torches go out."
The rescue team kept their formation and continued to move forward. After a while, a cold wind suddenly blew out of the cave, and the torches in the hands of the soldiers in the front row were immediately extinguished.
This sudden movement caused the brave orc warriors to lose their composure, and they hurriedly retreated towards the torches and flames of their companions.
Bai Feng ordered: "Don't panic, put your arms together and form a circle."
Nurahan also shouted: "Please move the torches closer and light them again, don't act like a child who is afraid of the dark!"
The young man looked ahead with the faint light of the fire. He could feel something approaching their team.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
In the darkness ahead, there was the sound of bones colliding, as if a large skeleton was walking slowly towards them.
When the team members all lit their torches, the thing happened to appear in their field of vision.
"Uruka?!"
The goose-egg-like deformed skull allowed the young man to recognize its identity at a glance.
"No, do you still recognize this thing?"
When he saw this undead creature for the first time, Nurahan's green face almost turned pale. As a result, the boy next to him shouted as if he was greeting an old friend.
"Be careful! It's coming!"
Bai Feng didn't have any other expression. She immediately put on an attack stance, but her tail seemed to move much faster than before.
It was rare that the Tiger warriors, including Zhan Ya, did not follow Bai Feng immediately.
"You, won't you follow?"
Bai Feng looked back and found that this group of people were all behind him.
"Come, come, Your Highness."
Only then did Zhan Ya and other Khajiit warriors catch up, and their movements were obviously a little stiff and slow.
To be continued...
