Chapter 1142 (1/2)
Just when Donne was distressed to be promoted to a nursing father for no reason, in another place of blood Rock City, several guys hiding in the shadow were discussing how to ”escape from blood rock city”.
The embarrassed Baron Lowell Owen was now hiding in the dark and humid sewer. He was very haggard. His eyes were deep, his face was black, his beard was stubble, and his hair cluttered on his scalp. He looked worse than the tramps in the street.
Next to him were the men he had recruited a while ago. He looked worse than Lowell.
Lowell and his party were lucky. When Stanley raised an army to fight out of the city, he happened to be happy with a * * * * wind. After learning the news of the war, he finally rushed home, put on weapons and armor, and was ready to start, but watched Stanley's army fall into hell.
So after a moment of hesitation, he decisively took his men to hide and was ready to act according to circumstances.
Unexpectedly, this hiding directly let him avoid the inevitable outcome.
When Ilus's army broke the city, he decisively led his men into the sewer of blood rock city. With a sewer map obtained from the gray mice of the thieves' guild, he successfully escaped Ilus's search and survived until now.
But now he has reached his limit.
Of course, the sewer of blood rock city can't be as clean and spacious as Ellington. It's very dark, narrow and humid. There are mice and cockroaches everywhere. Occasionally, you can see rotten floating corpses full of maggots, and the air is filled with a very bad smell.
What's more troublesome is that they have run out of dry food and little water left. If they don't want to live by eating mice and drinking sewage, they must find a way to leave here.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of wading in front. Lowell and others immediately warned: ”who!?”
”It's me, Baron.”
Lowell breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a look of expectation and asked, ”Marlene, have you found any food?”
”Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life.”
There was a flash of fire. A moment later, Mullen held the torch and groped for it. He held the torch in one hand and resisted a leather bag in the other. When he saw the bag, a group of people's eyes were green. Lowell hurriedly took the leather bag, and then couldn't wait to grab the bread inside and start swallowing. After he was half full, he took a rest, After drinking water, others are allowed to eat.
Mullen climbed onto the platform, then farted. He sat on the ground, took off his boots and began to pour water: ”Damn it, I feel like my eyes got into my boots and were crushed by me. It may also be a vampire.”
”The sewer is full of possibilities. It's better not to think too much.”
”Your Excellency is right.”
”Mullen, what's going on outside now? Can we leave?”
This is what Lowell is most concerned about now.
After Mullen hesitated, he said honestly, ”not very optimistic. To be honest, Xueyan city is loose inside and tight outside. On the surface, there are not many patrolling soldiers in the city, but I learned from my old friend that the outside of the city has been completely blocked and the outlet of the sewer has been stared at.”
”Damn it!”
Lowell cursed and suddenly asked, ”did you ask for the news of his majesty Stanley?”
”According to the news released by Ilus, his majesty Stanley is now dead.”
”What?! it's impossible! His majesty Stanley is invincible!”
”But this is true...”
Mullen hesitated and whispered, ”in fact, we can go out directly now, and there will be no danger to our lives.”
”Why?”
”Those captured City defenders have not been executed. It is said that they will be sent to the Ilus Empire, and then receive compulsory training to work in mines and factories. After 20 years of service, they can regain their freedom. If they perform well, they can also shorten their service time.”
Lowell was furious: ”you mean, let me, the great Baron Owen, take the initiative to change from a noble nobleman to a hard worker serving in the mine!?”
Mullen clapped in his heart and hurriedly said, ”Sir, calm down. I didn't mean that.”
”But that's what you mean.”
”I think, at least it's better to get out of the current environment and serve in the mine than hiding in the sewer?”
Mullen tested Lowell: ”what's more, with the ability of adults, as long as we can get rid of the current situation, we will pull up a team again and find a way to deal with this Donne...”
Lowell was even more angry: ”even his majesty Stanley died in his hands. You still let me deal with that Donne!? do you think I have that ability!?”
Mullen smiled bitterly: ”as long as you get out of the current situation, you can do whatever you want to do at that time.”
When Lowell calmed down, he looked at the dark sewer and said in a deep voice: ”You're right. Now our first consideration is how to leave here safely... After leaving here, we can go to frozen stone city in the south. A friend I know works as a garrison officer in frozen stone city and can help us introduce the city master. If we can persuade him to leave the army, we may have a chance to turn defeat into victory.”
Mullen smiled bitterly again when he heard the speech. Froststone city? Now the whole southwest area of grace has completely become a no man's land. There is no grass in the 10000 mile wasteland. Where can I ask for help?
”Let's get ready to get out of here.”
Mullen said: ”I have investigated the shift change time of each other. They work three shifts every day, with a very poor time difference. If we grasp the time, we can escape from the sewer outlet outside the city.”
”OK! Eat and drink quickly and go on the road!”
