The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 212 Reason

Hans looked at Qin Ran, then at Lawless, a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Remember my captor?"

he asked.

"Stegner, Archduke Merck's sword master."

"It is also the swordsmanship teacher of the three sons of Grand Duke Merck."

"You mean, he is the masked man?"

Kieran frowned as he recalled the person Hans had mentioned, Stegner.

Because, at that time, Hans was far more than mentioning these.

The Duke of Merck's swordsmanship is the first, and the strongest generals under the command of Grand Duke Merck are the prefixes of the opponent's name.

"Um!"

"I guess he should be the masked man. The feeling he had when he passed by me before was the same as the feeling he gave me in my memory!"

Hans nodded, and the bitter smile on his face became more and more bitter.

"Besides, the process of me entering the Grand Duke's treasure room was really smooth!"

"It went so smoothly that it was all arranged in advance!"

"Especially, I also overheard the news about the treasure room..."

"Now it seems that these are all traps!"

"The other side has premeditated plans, all for this rebellion!"

"I am willing to guarantee with a contract that everything I say is true!"

Having said that, Hans took a deep breath.

It seemed that he wanted to suppress all the boiling emotions.

However, his expression was far from calm.

Obviously, some people cannot accept the fact that they were calculated by the aborigines.

Lawless on the side patted Hans on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

At the same time, he looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran's frown did not relax following Hans' explanation.

Instead, he wrinkled tighter.

Because, he thought of more things.

"Those rebels were brought into the castle by Stegner in the name of 'capturing' you?"

"Even if Stegner uses the name of 'capturing' you, he can't bring so many people into the castle!"

"Someone has to help!"

While speaking, Qin Ran threw out a name.

"Le Grande, don't forget that the second son of Grand Duke Merck also wears the same mask!"

"Also, the youngest son of Grand Duke Merck, that poor Riedrell, was killed by his guards!"

"After tying it all together, I had an idea!"

Qin Ran took a deep breath and said slowly.

"The second son of the grand duke was unwilling to let his elder brother take over the title of grand duke, so he launched this rebellion and took advantage of the situation to eliminate another competitor—his younger brother!"

"impossible!"

"Even if the grand duke's second son succeeds in rebelling, with the merits of the eldest son of Merck and the fact that he is loved by everyone, it is impossible for the second son of the grand duke to win the title of grand duke!"

"Even, it will only backfire!"

Hans shook his head, disapproving of Kieran's point of view.

"Then, let's change our thinking!"

"What if the Grand Duke's second son suppressed the rebellion and retrieved the lost 'inheritance'?"

"Don't forget the massacre in the auditorium!"

"I have always wondered why the masked man would kill his own people, but if it is based on the 'successful counter-insurgency', the massacre in the auditorium will make sense!"

"They only need a 'rebel army' with the right amount, not a 'rebel army' with an advantage!"

Kieran smiled and looked at Hans.

Suddenly, Hans' expression changed.

"If that's the case..."

Hans didn't finish his sentence.

But the result is self-evident.

"But now, the Grand Duke's second son has died in our hands..."

Lawless sighed.

"Therefore, what we are facing is absolutely endless pursuit!"

Qin Ran also sighed.

Think in another way, if such an important plan of his was destroyed by someone.

How would he deal with the saboteurs?

It must be immortal.

Thinking of Stegner's strength, Kieran's scalp tingled.

"We must recover from the injury as soon as possible, so that we can fight hard!"

Lawless said.

Neither Qin Ran nor Hans would object to such an opinion.

"What I'm worried about now is, how many people will that guy bring?"

Kieran thought of the scene in the auditorium, and he knew that the opponent he was facing was definitely not a guy who paid attention to chivalry.

If you can swarm up, you will definitely not be singled out head-on.

"No matter how much, we have at least two to three days of buffer!"

"The matter of the castle rebellion is enough to keep the other party busy for a while!"

"Unless the other party discovers Legrand's body and rushes to us regardless!"

Lawless said and raised his head to look at Qin Ran and Hans.

Both of them don't look good.

"Is this improbable?"

"Don't worry! Don't worry!"

"Just a hypothesis!"

Lawless smiled and comforted Qin Ran and Hans with a relaxed tone.

But Qin Ran had a bad premonition in his heart.

This made Qin Ran nervous during the rest of the rest.

Because, in Kieran's view, bad premonitions always come true.

However, nothing happened until they set off again.

call!

Kieran, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, it was discovered that at some point, the side mission [Suddenly] had been marked as completed.

【Suddenly (Complete)】

[Killed 17 rebels, judged to be 'good']

...

Good reviews can only be described as a good result.

Not too good, but not too bad either.

In fact, Kieran killed more than 17 enemies. This number must be doubled for the real result.

Unfortunately, castle defenders do not count in this category.

"We now need to traverse the entire patrolling forest, relying on these equipment and supplies alone is not enough!"

"At least, we need more, delicious food!"

"And in Lusen and Fanmu Town, there is no shortage of things we need!"

Said Hans who rode at the front.

"agree!"

Lawless nodded immediately.

"No comment!"

Qin Ran shrugged.

Having more food was something Qin Ran was eager for, so he naturally wouldn't object.

However, what Qin Ran thought more about was the main mission this time.

"My main task is [Escape from the Principality of Merck], Lawlessness is [Escape from the Principality of Merck], and Hans is [Escape from the Principality of Merck within two weeks]!"

"The three main missions are different due to the number of copies. Hans is the most difficult because he is the one who started and the one who was punished!"

"But the three of us are acting at the same time, and the seemingly different main tasks are actually exactly the same!"

"Also, the time limit in Hans' main quest..."

Sitting on the saddle, Qin Ran was thinking silently.

He does not think that this time is useless.

It must mean something.

"What does it represent?"

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Kieran thought of a possibility.

But before Qin Ran informed Lawless and Hans of this conjecture, a sound of hoofbeats sounded behind them.

Just listening to the sound of horseshoes, it was a team of no less than a hundred people.

And Qin Ran, relying on his excellent eyesight, confirmed the identity of the visitor in a few seconds.

Castle defenders!
