"Ah, it hurts --!"
The recruits who accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel nearly fell to the ground and yelled.
Carl Colin, who was walking behind, frowned and looked behind him warily.
Those rotten corpse demons should not catch up for the time being... Right?
In the darkness, two demon hunters tired along the path of the tunnel, looking for the direction to the peak of the cloud with their memory.
After another "go and go" breakthrough... Or escape, they finally got rid of the siege of the Corruptor in the tunnel for the time being;
But this is not because their whereabouts are secret enough, or the monster is far behind them, but because all the tunnel paths at the cloud peak are blocked, and the only few gaps can only allow one or two people to pass at the same time.
That's why they survived... Temporarily.
"Captain..." the recruits walking in front noticed that Carl Colin slowed down behind him, turned his head and looked at him in confusion: "what's the matter?"
"Too much." looking back at Carl Colin behind him, he frowned: "it's too much."
"What... Too much?"
"There are too many corrupting demons." Carl Colin pondered in confusion: "after the beginning of the civil war, almost all the cloud peaks and the tunnels in the South were blocked and destroyed, and the corrupting demons of silver helmet mountain could not appear here..."
"So what appears here can never be the corrupting devil of silver helmet mountain!" the recruits were surprised, as if they suddenly thought of something:
"In other words, they are the chessmen behind the Civil War - because only the guy who has mastered the special Holy Blood potion can make corrosion demons in large quantities, right?!"
"Maybe, it's just a guess." Carl Colin said faintly, seemingly disapproving: "maybe we all guessed wrong - there's no behind the scenes, it's just a civil war between the dwarves."
In the eyes of the night watchman, the possibility of this result is the greatest.
"I wish it were true..." whispered Martin, a recruit with his head down.
Carl Colin frowned and thought.
"Recruit Martin."
"Huh?"
"Martin... Martin Nilton." Carl Colin coughed meaningfully. "I remember that the former governor of Byrne's house seemed to be a Nilton, too."
The recruit's expression froze, showing a very reluctant smile:
"He... Is my uncle. I, I don't really know him very well - I mean, he used to be a wandering knight and has nothing to do with our family. I didn't know there was such a person until he became the governor of the governor's office; I, I mean, I didn't join the wings of the sky to avenge him. The driver retaliated against the Duke. I really..."
Carl Colin raised his hand and stopped the recruits who wanted to continue to defend themselves.
"Don't get me wrong. I just asked casually. I didn't mean to inquire about you." he shook his head and looked at the recruits:
"What's more, since even I can find it, there's no reason for Duke Byrne not to know, isn't it?"
The recruits bowed their heads in embarrassment and followed Carl Colin without saying a word.
With a cold hum, Carl Colin's face turned black.
Duke Loren Turin and captain Lucian... What the hell did you put in me?
Of course, my own identity is not clean.
At this moment
"Pa! PA! PA! Pa..."
In the dark tunnel, there was a neat and undisguised sound of steps.
They were surprised at the same time and instinctively hid in the pit next to the tunnel.
"Are you coming?!" he clenched the sword handle behind his shoulder, and the recruits' expression was extremely nervous: "the voice came from the front. Is it difficult that those corrosion demons have poured into the cloud peak?!"
"No, not them." Carl Colin, who frowned slightly and fell on the ground, shook his head: "this voice should be..."
Bang -!
The next second, countless flames suddenly appeared from the darkness and surrounded them.
More than a hundred people blocked the tunnel from the front and back, surrounding the two demon hunters.
The stunned recruits got up from the ground and looked at the heavily armed and indifferent dwarf soldiers, as well as dozens of heavy crossbows aimed at themselves behind the shield wall around them.
"... the regular army at the peak of the cloud." he pulled his mouth, and Carl Colin vigilantly pressed the "secret silver" dagger behind his waist.
"We are the 16th tunnel patrol under the throne of the king's Palace - the army directly under the supreme king."
A dwarf officer in full armor came out of the queue and looked at the two people coldly: "at the order of your excellency Igor, the grand ceremonial officer, carry out the final sweeping of the tunnel to ensure that there are no suspicious elements."
"Then I have to say, you've done a good job!" Carl Colin forced a smile on his face. "I can prove for you that there are absolutely no suspicious guys in this tunnel."
The recruit turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
Unexpectedly... Captain Carl Colin, who always has a cold face, can still tell cold jokes?
However, the dwarf officer, who was equally indifferent to him, didn't seem to want to be a "support" for him; A sharp wave behind him:
"Take them - if you dare to resist, kill them!"
……………………………………………………
"This is really... What a surprise!"
In the empty King's palace, Igor, a dwarf with a crystal crown, stared at the two night watchmen escorted to him by the tunnel garrison. His frightening eyes moved between them:
"The famous' wings of the sky ', the personal guards of Lord Laurent Turin, Duke of Bain... Why did they appear in the cloud peak tunnel that should have been sealed?"
Facing Igor's almost murderous eyes, Carl Colin only felt waves of scalp numbness, and his back teeth clenched tightly.
It's... Bad luck.
If it hadn't been for the excessive physical strength consumed by running for life, if it hadn't been in the tunnel where there was no place to hide, if it hadn't been for the drag around, if... I was a night watchman and the elite of the demon hunter legion, I couldn't have been caught alive by a group of dwarf soldiers like catching mice.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world.
"Why, the two distinguished guests came to the door without even calling..." the dwarf Igor narrowed his eyes and said faintly:
"Not going to explain?"
"Bang --!!"
The dwarf guards in the hall knocked the shield heavily on the floor.
Their bodies shook at the same time.
The pale recruits looked at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Carl Colin sighed helplessly.
"Of course, but..." he slowly raised his head and looked at Igor with four eyes: "even if we tell the truth, the grand salute... No, it should be the supreme king. Will you really believe it?"
"Dang --!"
With the crisp sound of fragmentation, Igor's refined steel axe hit Carl Colin in front of him.
The demon hunter didn't squint and didn't feel it.
"Say, it's your business." he stared into Carl Colin's eyes. "Believe it or not... It's my business."
Carl Colin glanced at the recruits next to him and took a deep breath.
You don't have a choice, do you?
"Your Majesty, the war is not as simple as you think." the demon hunter said coldly: "your enemy is not only the traitors who are besieging the capital; there are more terrible opponents hidden where you can't see."
"They... Or they are the real culprits who led to the fall of silver helmet mountain three years ago and turned your compatriots into terrible monsters. They are the real mastermind of this civil war and the goal you should really guard against!"
When hearing "the fall of silver helmet mountain", the dwarf Igor showed an obviously bad look.
"And we are here for these enemies." Carl Colin gritted his teeth and tried not to touch each other's bottom line:
"Now that you know who we are, you should know what kind of enemy the Duke of Loren defeated three years ago exists, and what the Duke has been doing in these three years!"
Igor's face changed, cloudy and sunny.
"Their goal is not only Yunling Kingdom and Bain, but Boye, sakran, Elman, Arle, lottel... The world! If we can't find them as soon as possible, eliminate them and destroy any attempt to destroy them
Then when one of us is destroyed, the other will be their new target. "
Carl Colin clenched his teeth. He had mentioned similar words to Ruth infinite more than once in the past, but the effect was not obvious... Would dwarves known for their honesty be different?
"So to be honest, we do not want and do not intend to interfere in the civil war of Yunling Kingdom at all - to be more direct, we don't care who is the supreme king of Yunling kingdom; we have only one goal from the beginning."
"The culprit behind this civil war, which led to more than three years of civil war in Yunling Kingdom and corroded demons everywhere..."
The voice fell, and the two demon hunters looked at the dwarf supreme king, Igor, who kept silent from beginning to end.
They could clearly feel that nearly 100 fully armed dwarf guards in the king's palace were staring at their backs - as long as Igor gave an order, they would rush up and tear them to pieces.
If we really get there, there will be only one last way
Carl Colin, who was tightly bound by chains, looked intentionally or unintentionally between the Tomahawk and Igor in front of him, calculating that it would take him a few seconds to subdue the supreme king.
"Pa, PA, PA..."
The expressionless dwarf Igor clapped.
"Well reasoned, well-organized... Worthy of being Prince Byrne's personal soldier." the new Supreme King slowly said, "do you want to know what I think?"
"I thought you were lying."
The demon hunter was slightly stunned.
"The so-called enemy that led to the emergence of the 'corrosion devil' and the fall of the silver helmet mountain is just your disguise and the trick of the thief shouting to catch the thief - from beginning to end, you Bain are the real murderer behind the scenes!"
"The so-called enemy hidden in the dark is just an excuse you concocted to interfere in other principalities - you have to hide behind the scenes because you don't dare to do these despicable and despicable acts."
"While supporting our cloud peak and wooing us with a steady stream of materials, you secretly supported those damn traitors to unite and delay the war for three years!"
"There is only one purpose, that is, to continue the civil war by all means and do everything possible to weaken the strength of Yunling Kingdom, so that we can't unite to declare war on you and avenge the humiliation of yinhelmet mountain!"
"Yes, as your Countess Charlotte said... Byrne today is very different from Byrne in the past 100 years; you are no longer a knight country today, but a dirty and despicable gangster! Villain! Executioner!"
Igor the dwarf growled hysterically.
Carl Colin's eyes widened and he was completely stunned.
This is... What a powerful brain tonic ability. If he didn't know the exact truth, even he believed it!
But then again, is it difficult for the sky palace and Lord LUT infinite to think so
"What he said is true. We have no malice!"
The recruits on one side suddenly stopped in front of Carl Colin, took the initiative to stand up and explained anxiously: "our purpose has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, why don't we assassinate you directly - if the supreme King dies, won't the situation in Yunling kingdom be more chaotic and more in line with Bain's interests?"
"I see. It makes sense."
Igor nodded, narrowed his eyes and stared at the recruits: "so, the traitor who just assassinated the supreme King... Is still your man?!"
"I..." the recruits said with a confused expression: "what happened just now? The supreme king was assassinated? When did it happen? Aren't you the supreme king?"
"..." Carl Colin.
The demon hunter sighed a long sigh, completely gave up his hope and moved from the Tomahawk to the next floor - if the atmosphere is not inappropriate, I really want to knock it up now!
"No, no, no, no... I don't mean that. We don't know the assassin, not our people..."
Looking at Igor, the supreme king, who was getting worse in front of him, Carl Colin, who looked desperate beside him, and the guards staring at him in the distance, the sweaty recruits shook their heads desperately, and he shouted hysterically:
"I... really! What we said is true! Now thousands of corrosion demons are in the tunnel under your feet. It will be too late if you don't stop them quickly!"
"I have no reason to believe an assassin full of lies." Igor snorted coldly and frowned again: "there is no reason to believe two despicable Baines who came uninvited and tried their best to hide their intentions; guards --!"
"In --!!!"
"Give them to me -"
Right now.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
The two night watchmen were surprised and reacted first.
Not from the outside, but... Underground -!
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
At this moment, everyone in the hall began to get nervous and subconsciously looked around.
The bound Carl Colin and the recruits tacitly turned back and looked at each other in horror.
coming!
