"Who is this guy?" Griffon found that there seemed to be a big boss opposite him.
"Ninety-nine percent likely to be Özy's Guard Captain!" Don Quixote had learned to answer first because he had been in the Rabbit Empire for too long.
"I thought this Guard Captain would conspire with Čepes to rebel and pull Özy down!" Griffon felt that this was the way to put it. In the movies, didn't all the people in power die like this? Why was it a little different today?
"Griffin, will you choose someone you can't trust as your Guard Captain?" Jonathan was shocked.
"I'll choose a beautiful woman!" Griffon's answer made everyone speechless.
"Of course it's not wrong to think that way, but first you have to be a Lord …" Fox suddenly opened his mouth and stabbed him. Griffon felt stifled and clutched his chest. Before he could refute, Enoko Kazama next to him added another stab: "Also, you have to have a beautiful woman!"
Griffon was instantly petrified.
Next to him, Don Quixote, Panza, Remiga, and others laughed so hard they almost fell off the high wall.
Čepes was now quarreling with the middle-aged man who was slowly approaching the high wall. They were using the local language, so no one in the expedition team could understand what they were saying. However, judging from the anger on their faces, it was clear that they were not just cursing each other's parents and ancestors!
After a while, the Inhuman Captain Babu raised his steel arm and angrily joined in the quarrel.
Then there was the big-eyed skinny Little Chuck.
However.
Having more people doesn't equal to winning.
The tall and burly middle-aged man on the opposite side stopped quarreling. His hawk-like eyes swept over the crowd on the high wall. His eyes swept over the faces of Philip, Thomas, Reynold, and others, as if he was memorizing each person's face in his mind.
And those who were swept by his eyes also had a strange feeling in their hearts, as if they were being stared at by some terrible monster.
The tall and sturdy middle-aged man shouted something that was unknown to him.
Right hand.
He held it up high towards the top of the wall.
Behind him, there was an extremely ugly mutant who looked even more frightening than the bell ringer, Casimodo. He rode a giant beast forward and swung his hand in the direction of the high wall. Several black dots flew over in an instant.
The mercenaries of the exploration team and the natives scrambled to avoid them.
The black dot smashed into the wall.
When they rolled on the ground, everyone immediately realized that they were actually human heads dripping with blood.
Little Chuck, the thin, big-eyed man, screamed in a native language, as if he had seen the most terrible thing in the world. Apart from fear, there was also a kind of grief and pain. Obviously, these heads belonged to Čepes. Perhaps they were his spies on Castellan Özy's side, or even the Camp Chiefs who had attended the meeting in the city.
"Who are they?" Reynold asked tentatively.
"They are all our people. I don't know why this happened either. Castellan Özy, who originally planned to send troops to conquer the wilderness, actually saw through our secret plan to build a city. I think his previous actions were a trap to lure us into it … Next, our camp will suffer a terrible attack, and blood and fire will destroy our hard work! Once Castellan Özy breaks through the camp, the consequences will be very serious. Be it our people, the completely innocent traveling merchants and hunters, or the explorers who came from afar, they will all suffer a terrible purge! I'm very sorry, but if possible, please leave the camp quickly. While we can still buy some time, quickly find a way to leave! " Čepes felt very guilty and apologized to the leader of the exploration team. Especially in front of the red-robed archbishop, Nero, he even used a remorseful attitude to ask for forgiveness.
"This is not your fault. God watches over everything in the world!" Nero raised the golden cross and gently pressed it on Čepes' forehead.
"We will do our part in defending the city." Reynold organized his words and asked, "Mr. Tserpesh, isn't there a secret passage in the camp that can allow us to escape safely?"
"Of course there is, but I'm not sure if Castellan Özy has already grasped the information of this secret passage. Also, the exit of this secret passage isn't far. The other exit is ten kilometers away from the camp. This distance isn't safe, as it's very likely that Van Lenden will notice it! In the wilderness, no one can escape from the joint hunt of the ferocious beasts and the Black Waters Flying Dragon! "Čepes' expression was very ugly.
"Even if there's a risk, we still have to try!" Hugo felt that defending the camp was a dead end.
"I can tell you the secret passage, but I hope that the traveling merchants and hunters in the camp will retreat first. After all, they are the most innocent." Čepes made a request. "If you are willing, you can help us defend the camp until night time."
"Why? This is their war! " Heavy Knight Andre was dissatisfied. It's already very generous of you to let the merchants and hunters leave first, and you still want everyone to help you defend the city? Do you really think that a three-day banquet can really buy everyone over? However, Eden Legion's Arius quietly touched him. Andre was puzzled at first and wanted to question him, but he immediately reacted and promised loudly, "Let the merchants go first, no problem, Mr. Čepes. We will definitely help you defend until night time!"
Čepes looked at Arius thoughtfully.
Then he looked at the mercenary leaders around him.
No one had any objections, and joy flashed in their eyes. He nodded and waved to Captain Babu. "Brave Captain Babu, I hope that you can open the secret passage as soon as possible and let the merchants and hunters retreat as fast as possible! Tell them that we don't have much time to buy, and I hope that everyone will prioritize their lives. Leave behind the light and heavy goods, and only pack the most valuable and necessary items before leaving! You can tell them that if our camp can still be saved, then I will definitely think of a way to compensate them in the future to reduce today's loss. But now is the time to escape, tell them to use the fastest speed, so don't waste a second! "
"Yes!" Captain Babu, who had a huge steel arm, quickly ran down the high wall of the camp with Little Chuck, and raised his voice to summon the merchants and hunters who were bewildered.
While explaining, they moved towards the square.
Little Chuck and a few other guards had already pulled up the anchor that was buried deep in the ground.
Through ingenious mechanisms, the places where the anchors were buried turned out to be four relatively narrow tunnel entrances after being pulled up.
Captain Babu shouted, "You can go now if you are ready. The tunnel is very safe, and the air is enough to breathe. The tunnel is big enough. Don't be afraid, we will send people to escort you all the way. There is a slope at the exit of the tunnel, so Valentine and the others won't find us. As long as everyone keeps quiet, we can easily escape. Everyone, pay attention to your belongings or valuables. If you can't take them away, please put them away secretly. We will return one day. Čepes promised that he will give everyone satisfactory compensation in the future. Now everyone should save their lives first, and then we will find this guy later! Remember to light the torches, and don't step on them in panic, so as not to accidentally hurt children … "
Little Chuck, the thin man with big eyes, held a long dagger in one hand and a lit torch in the other. "Follow me, the people who are ready can go now. We have to buy time. Don't panic, these four entrances all lead to the same secret tunnel, and it doesn't matter where you line up! The tunnel is very safe, there is nothing but big rats. I will walk in front and protect everyone! "
Most of the merchants quickly packed their bags and set off.
Some people closed their doors and secretly stored the things they couldn't take away.
Few of the local natives were willing to leave. Most of them returned home with angry faces, took out their weapons, and rushed to the high wall, ready to fight the intruders to the death.
Everyone understood the need to protect their home.
Some hunters who had lived here for a long time also picked up bows and arrows and volunteered to help.
"I have a question, Mr Wood. How many secret tunnels do you think there are in the camp?" This time, Jonathan spoke in Chinese. He didn't want his words to be understood by the Tserpents or the natives. "I don't know if this is the custom of escaping in Purgatory, but isn't this adaptability a bit too fast?! If there are no accidents, we will have another choice at night. Of course, whether it is good or bad is not something I can guess! "
"What a bold guess, Jonathan. You have a lot of ideas." Lin Dong smiled and said, "Actually, everyone can think of it. Building a city, even a small one, requires a lot of money and resources. If we rely on saving, it will take a long time. If we can get a considerable amount of wealth like a pie falling from the sky, then building a city will be easy! The only difficult part of this process is to make everyone believe it. If everyone believes it, then everything will fall into the hands of those who are interested. Our wealth is not part of the calculation because we don't have much wealth. However, we have other things that are worth others to think about. For example, some places that only we can enter or only we can open require us, who are unaware of it, to take the initiative to complete it for them. "
"Great God, what should we do next?" Griffon's eyes lit up.
"Can you act?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.
"Please call me Best Actor!" Griffon felt that if he went to Hollywood, he could win an Oscar for Best Actor. Old Handsome Tang and Little Li couldn't even clean his shoes with their acting skills!
"Okay, now I have a very important task for you!" This was what Lin Dong wanted. He put on the kind smile of a leader inspecting the countryside and encouraging old farmers to plant more cabbages. He patted Griffon's shoulder and said, "Please show your acting skills and let those who need them to know know that you are a smart person who can't be deceived. You use your acting skills and your handsome, cool, and aloof demeanor to tell them that you have already seen through all of this! Listen, this task is very difficult. Are you confident that you can complete it perfectly? "
"I will use my acting skills to teach them a lesson!" Griffon clenched his fists and was full of fighting spirit.
"Very good!" Lin Dong nodded. He reached out and patted Griffon's shoulder lightly. "The important task of maintaining Earth's peace will be handed over to you!"
"Yes!" Griffon gave a solemn salute.
He turned 180 degrees.
Then he left without looking back. The lonely back view was incomparably heroic …
