Chapter 67: Murder in the Caravan Accompanying the Army (20)

"Ah, it hurts so much, damn it!"

Kil shouted expressionlessly, pretending to be injured after falling into the trap and being pierced by the spikes at the bottom.

Although he didn't know how long he could hold it, he just yelled a few times, and it didn't matter to him.

The torch in his hand lights up, and the situation at the bottom of the surrounding trap is clear.

"Hiss!" Kil took a breath and was startled, because the surrounding ground was covered with finger-thick wooden poles, and the top of each wooden pole was equipped with a shiny and reflective iron tip.

If it weren't for the wooden plank under his feet, Kil would probably have been sieved by these things just now.

At that time, he would really wail in pain.

Kil carefully inspected the spikes at the bottom of the trap before placing his feet in the gaps between the spikes. Looking around, there is a low wooden door on one side of the wall at the bottom of the square trap. That must be the way for the opponent to get in and out.

Come to think of it, the spikes at the bottom of the trap are shining brightly and reflecting the firelight. It is obvious that someone comes here frequently for maintenance, and the way of entry and exit for maintenance is also through the wooden door at the bottom. It is impossible to have someone hang it with a rope and lower it down from above every time. .

It is estimated that no one in this gang that has only been established for a few years would dare to do this kind of work. If he were asked to do it, he would not dare to do it. He would have run away long ago.

Kil walked over the spikes at his feet to the wooden door, pushed hard, and the wooden door was firmly closed.

Apparently the wooden door opened and closed inward and was closed from the inside.

But this was not a problem for Kil. He unsheathed his long sword. With the light of the torch, he pushed the blade of the long sword through the gap in the wooden door. He found the fixed pin blocking the way behind the door. Kil's sword moved back and forth. The sharp point poked and stabbed, and soon the wooden pin was broken. He raised his leg and kicked it, and the low wooden door opened with a sound.

Kil carefully glanced behind the door and found that behind it was a low passage as high as the door. He extinguished the torch, put it away, then climbed down and got in.

From the height of the passage, Kiel could feel that the person who designed this place was not very tall and strong. The other person might be able to lower his body and walk quickly in and out of the passage, but Kiel, who was wearing armor, could only crawl in the passage. China moved.

As soon as he thought about it, the long sword emitted a faint white light, which was not too bright, allowing the enemy to discover something in advance, and not making him unable to see clearly what was around him.

Just as Kil was slowly moving in the passage, he remembered the sound of the machine turning not far away, accompanied by the sound of several gang thugs shouting hard.

Keir guessed that the power source of the mechanism in this house should be driven by the human power of several thugs, so every time the mechanism was important to start up, shouts would be heard from below.

He couldn't hear clearly when he was on the first floor of the house just now, but now that he entered the underground of the house, the chants of several people on the other side were much clearer. It was obvious that the distance between the two was not very far.

It might even be just a wooden wall separating them.

Kil held the sword tightly and decided to give the enemy he met later a hard blow. Although the enemy was an ordinary gang, it seemed from the spears, crossbows and pit traps that the opponent did not intend to hold back on force.

Since the enemy had no intention of holding back, Kiel no longer used force cautiously, but tried to kill the enemy as before.

In addition to the chants of several gang thugs, Keir also heard a young and sinister voice giving orders.

"Let the few people who came back just now go to support the companions on both sides of the back door! In addition, you, and you, the two of you go along the stairs of the second south house and go to the second floor of the house from the gap in the wall. Well, let me think about it. , after reaching the second floor, turn left, turn right again, push open the secret door, and enter the top of the main hall at the back door."

After a pause, the man seemed to hand the thing to the two people he ordered: "Here, this is the poison that the boss finally found the materials for Scarface to make. After getting to the top of the main hall at the back door, open the floor. Agency, mix these poisons with water and pour them down to poison those soldiers!"

In response to the young man's sinister voice, the two thugs responded cowardly.

"What? You don't dare? Don't dare to kill or pour poison? What's the use of you? Go quickly, the boss doesn't know how long he can delay. He has to kill his soldiers before the lord does. We can't stay here anymore. But we can go out through the secret passage, go to other towns and start over again. Listen to me, when we get to a new place, how can we not be able to start over again without relying on our means and scale? When the time comes, when the time comes, we will fight back!"

Seemingly convinced, Kil heard two footsteps, opened the wooden door and walked out.

Kiel couldn't sit still now and had to hurry up. Apparently the local soldiers who were blocked in and out of the house were still fighting, but the soldiers were probably able to deal with ordinary traps, but someone fell down from the top of the house. Deadly poisons are difficult to deal with.

He had to hurry up and do something. Either catch up with the two people who had the poison in their hands, or open the so-called main hall at the back door to let the local soldiers leave that dangerous place.

But this house full of institutions is very complicated, and the corridor he is walking in is also low and narrow. Time waits for no one. Keir can no longer crawl slowly in the corridor. He must get out now.

Fortunately, when he heard the sound just now, the young and sinister voice seemed to be behind the wooden wall on his left. The distance to the sound was very close, and the barrier between the two was not thick.

Kil immediately poked the wooden board on the left side with his long sword. After the tip of the sword penetrated, he twisted the long sword and pried off a small piece of wood. After a few times, he pried off a large piece of wood.

This made Keir very excited.

It seemed that Kil's actions were noticed by the gang members next door. They became quiet at first, and then heard the sound of Kil's digging into the wooden wall with his long sword.

"What's going on?" One of the thugs was confused.

"Could it be that a grass rat made a big hole here? Wasn't there a nest of grass rats that hollowed out a large area under the yard and collapsed? We also had to build a well in the yard above."

Then the sinister young voice sounded: "Idiot? Where can a grass rat be so diligent in making a big hole during the day when there are people in the house! Something is weird! No matter what, pick up the knife and pry this piece open to see! No matter what it is , kill them all for me!”

Then there were the sounds of panicked movements and the sound of weapons being pulled out of their scabbards.

Soon, there was a buzzing sound on the opposite side of where Kiel was digging, and the other party also started digging from the opposite side.

Keir cheered up and immediately sped up his movements.

The not very thick wooden wall could not withstand the movements on the left and right sides, and a small hole was soon dug out. Kil immediately extinguished the light of the sword in his hand and let the light from the opposite room shine through.

Without stopping, his long sword immediately followed the dug hole and quickly expanded it.

The other side immediately stopped what they were doing, and the thugs surrounding the wall were startled. They thought it was some kind of monster in the ground. After all, the teeth digging into the wall were shining with a metallic luster.

"Boss, come here and take a look, what on earth is this?"

But before the people in the underground room could see clearly, Kil quickly expanded the hole. Seeing that he would be attacked by the people who had come to their senses, the long sword in his hand immediately stretched out, and then an extremely dazzling white light was released. It blinded everyone in the small agency's main room.

"Ah! Eyes!"

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"There is a monster! I said it is a monster! The mutated grass rat will eat our eyeballs! My eyeballs are gone!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Back up against the wall, back up against the wall. If something is dangling in front of your eyes, you guys # ￥ # just use the things in your hands to chop it!"

"Yes, yes! The boss is right! Suffer death!"

"Ah! Don't cut me! I'm not a monster, I'm not a monster!"

"I don't care if you are a monster or not, don't come near me! I will kill anyone who comes near me!"

After being blinded all of a sudden, several gang thugs in the room became confused and even started attacking each other. Even though the 'leader' who was directing them made everyone lean against the wall to attack and protect themselves, the panicked thugs only focused on Looking at themselves, anyone who bumped into them would be immediately pounced on as a monster and immediately chopped with a knife.

Even if he later knew that he had killed the wrong person, he would not admit it at all. The thug who was chopped off was not a vegetarian either. Neither side could see it, and neither of them knew the other's little thoughts and immediately retaliated.

So there were just a few people, but they fought with each other.

Keir first poked his head out of the dug hole and found that there were five thugs in a chaotic mess inside the square room, and they were hacking each other.

There was another person who was quietly leaning against the wall on the other side of the room, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, ready to hit anything that came close.

Kil saw the weapon used by the man through the oil lamp lighting in the room, and immediately shrank his eyes.

It was a dark, long and narrow steel dagger. The dagger's blade was narrower than an ordinary protective dagger, but the steel material made it even thinner, but its toughness and strength were far superior to ordinary iron daggers.

In addition, the long and narrow body of this dagger is particularly suitable for stabbing, and the sharp tip can easily pierce the human body.

"is it you?"

Keir whispered silently.

Then he pulled back his head and expanded the already wide hole even more quickly. Then he crawled out of the narrow hole.

"Be careful, you idiots, something is crawling out!" A young and sinister voice said from the mouth of the young man by the wall. This man was wearing a pair of compact leather clothes mixed with black and gray, and there were no places on his body that were easy to move. Reinforced with extra straps, it looks much neater.

Kil's eyes lit up, and he felt more and more that this guy was the murderer who killed the merchant who was in charge of their caravan.

He glanced at the gang thugs who were huddled together in the middle of the room. At this time, no one was paying attention to Kiel. Even though they all heard the sound of Kiel crawling out, these men were already in full swing. The machete in his hand slashed towards his former companion with a deadly blow.

There is no way, if you don't kill the other people, they will kill you.

Only when there is only one person left whose trust has been broken, can they stop holding weapons.

Kil ignored these people and strode towards the guy by the wall.

Although the other party couldn't see it, he could guess that Kil was not a monster but a human just by the sound of footsteps on the wooden floor. At this time, the man immediately shrunk his body and jumped to one side, as if he had calculated his movements accurately. The place where he landed was the entrance to an upward ladder.

But this man had a good idea, but he ignored Kil's reaction and speed. Kil still remembered how to quickly rescue the local soldiers who might have been poisoned, so he didn't give this man any other chance and just held the sword in his hand. After catching up with the person, he directly held down one of the other person's feet with one hand, and then stabbed down hard with the long sword.

With a pop, the long sword accurately pierced the opponent's trousers and calf. Even part of the tibia could not withstand the hunting power of the long sword and was smashed along the way. The penetration nailed the man to the ground.

"Ahhh! My leg, what's wrong? It hurts!!"

The gang leader immediately grabbed his leg with one hand and waved the dagger in his hand, trying to force Kiel back.

But Kil just kicked something on the man's back, knocking the crossbow on his back to pieces, and then ignored the man.

In the middle of the room, only two of the thugs who had been beaten into a ball were still standing. The others were either chopped and fell to the ground, or they were lying on the ground with a machete on their head that had penetrated into their skulls. There was no movement on the ground.

Keir was not afraid of the machetes in the hands of the remaining two men, and directly punched one of the thugs with a sneak attack, knocking him unconscious. Then he raised his left hand and used the hardened cowhide on his arm to block the other person's knife, and then turned around and snatched the machete from this person's hand.

Snapped!

Kiel slapped the still-standing thug in the face with his right hand, which actually woke up the slightly confused thug.

"Answer me and I will spare your life. How do you activate the mechanism and open the door to the main hall at the back?"

Keir grabbed the man's collar and asked fiercely.

"Huh? What? Who are you? Who are you? A monster? A monster?"

Two more backhand slaps made the man completely awake. Even if he couldn't see anything, he knew that the monster probably wouldn't slap him in the face.

"How do you put down the mechanism in the main hall at the back entrance? Tell me quickly!"

Keir asked again.

The man answered honestly: "Just push the mechanism gear with the main hall text on it into the bayonet, and then push the wheel that requires five people to push it."

Just when the man finished speaking, the gang leader who was nailed to the ground behind him spoke: "Haha, how do you know if what he said is true? It can't be a lie, haha, you It’s too late to save the lives of those soldiers, it’s too late, poison will fall from the sky and kill all those guys with the same black heart! Haha, hiss! What’s going on!”

It turned out that this man wanted to grab the sword of Kil's sword and pull it out from the ground, but when he held the sword with one hand, he only exerted force, and his own fingers fell one by one. 's fell down.

The sharp magic material sword blade cannot be touched with hands.

Although the man was frightened, the pain after the injury covered up the pain of having his finger cut off. He also knew that this would not work, so he immediately used his other hand to hold up the hilt of the hunting sword, trying to lift the long sword from the ground. Proposed.

But no matter how hard the man tried, he couldn't move his sword to kill him.

A spiritual weapon can only be wielded by its owner in battle, or it must be far beyond the power of its owner.

But this little boss is not one of the two.

So no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.

Kil glanced at the guy behind him and stopped caring. He threw the thug in his hand on the ground. Kil hurried to the corner of the room. There was a runner on the ground. Several people walked around on it and pushed it. The thick wooden pole in the center can be rotated, and then the wooden pole drives the mechanism below to rotate and transmit the power.

The control relies on a horizontal transmission wooden pole on the wall next to it that leads to several places. A sliding iron-clad wooden gear is fixed on one end of the wooden pole. Push the gear in, and then push the human wheel, and the corresponding mechanism will be Start the activity.

There are many connected gears on the nearby wall, leading to various parts of the house. At first glance, it looks very complicated.

But fortunately, each gear has the location of the corresponding mechanism engraved on it. Keir immediately found the two relevant gears in the main hall of the back entrance. One was marked with passage blocking, and the other was marked with door blocking.

Keir immediately pushed the gear blocked by the gate in, connecting the mechanism to the power.

But then Kil was dumbfounded, because it was obvious that the mechanism was heavy, and it had to pass through several power transmissions, so the efficiency of the rough wooden mechanism was seriously lost.

If you want to activate or deactivate the main mechanism on the other side of the house, you must have at least five thugs in the power room here to push it.

But at this time, a gang leader in this room was being nailed to the ground. The other thugs were dead, injured and fainted. Only one thug, although his body was covered with scars, seemed to be able to come up to help.

But how could you let that person help? Just don't cause trouble. Keir knew that time was running out and there was no other way to think about it. He could only try it himself.

Fortunately, after training, he was already stronger than the average person. During last autumn's Harvest Festival, he was strengthened by the festival ceremony of the God of Agriculture, and his strength was strengthened.

"I don't know if I can do it."

He thought so.

Put your hands on the push bar of the runner, put your feet back, and curl up slightly to facilitate the use of legs and feet.

Next to him, the little boss who was nailed to the ground couldn't hear Kiel's voice, and immediately guessed what was going on, and immediately taunted: "Hahahaha, you idiot, there is no way you can be alone. Push the mechanism, just wait until all those ￥ # ￥ soldiers die in the house. Maybe their wailing can be heard from here in the house? Haha."

Kil didn't refute the man's words. He held his breath and pushed with all his strength.

"Woo——"

Just for a moment, Kil's face turned red from suppressing it. He used all his strength, pushed his arms forward, and kicked his legs hard on the ground. However, the entire mechanism's axis only made a slight noise and remained motionless.

"Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard, hahahaha."

The man fell to the ground and completely gave up his plan to escape. He raised his ears and laughed while listening carefully to what was happening on Kiel's side.

"Ah hahaha, it's useless, it's useless. Hahahaha."

Kil gritted his teeth and tried hard to push the crossbar in his hand forward, but no matter how hard he exerted force, the thing would not move at all, and at most it would make a slight noise.

He had no choice but to watch the local soldiers die in humiliation and powerlessness.

Sweat flowed down Kiel's face under his helmet, either from anxiety or from the heat.

While Gill was gasping, he somehow thought of Knight Crow. I don’t know what the other party would do at this time.

‘Isn’t this something that can be turned with just a push? ’

Knight Crow would certainly say so.

Of course Knight Crow would say this, because he is an extremely powerful knight.

Knight, knight?

Kil was stunned for a moment, seeming to remember what Knight Crow had said to him a few days ago.

Life energy, ancient secrets, the origin of knights, monster meat, control the life energy in your body with your heart, feel them, they are the people of your body, and you are the king of your body.

Feel them, communicate with them, control and order them, the people of the Magic Empire who have been transformed from generation to generation all have this ability.

Just be inspired, get the resources, and master the methods.

-

Keir calmed down and reached for a leather bag on his waist. As soon as he put his hand in, he pulled it out as if he had been stung by a bee.

But Kil, under the visor, smiled, because the life energy in his hands was spontaneously resisting the invading Crow Knight's life energy.

He sensed them.

Now, Keel tried his best to control himself not to lose this feeling. Not only did he feel them on his palms, but also through the connection between them, he extended his perception to his arm, body, other arm, waist, buttocks, thighs, and calves. , soles of feet.

His body is a kingdom, inhabited by a large number of people who have increased in recent times, and now, their king needs their help.

As Kil's gradually excited gasps came to him, he issued the first formal decree to his subjects.

——Push the crossbar in front of you with all your strength——
