Chapter 840 (1/2)
”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.
