Chapter 173 It Seems that He Has Done Something Extraordinary Again!

After more than an hour of trekking, Ryan soon found the abandoned mine used as a base by the Zalal rebels in the undulating hills.

Because Ryan had fought a short battle before, but he had used his full strength and used the secret skill "Earth-Splitting Hammer" twice, which consumed a lot of physical strength.

Now after more than an hour of "fast march", his physical condition has dropped to about 60% to 70% of his peak.

Although Ryan already knew that the other side did not have any powerful people stationed, there was an old saying in his previous life that "arrogant soldiers will be defeated". In addition, there was no guarantee that there would be any sudden personnel transfers on the rebel side.

So, Ryan thought about it for a while and decided to add a point to the mental attribute to quickly restore his physical condition.

As the remaining attribute points increased from 2→1 and the mental power increased from 24→25 points, a surge of heat was pumped out from the heart and quickly spread to Ryan's limbs.

In an instant, Ryan felt that his condition had returned to its peak, and the muscle soreness after the "Triple State" burst just now disappeared.

Since this abandoned mine is the enemy's base in the entire Mayest County, Ryan was still quite cautious and carefully explored the mine entrance first.

Soon, Ryan found that the enemy had set up two sentries, one bright and one dark, and three hidden traps that could be hit if you were not careful.

Sure enough, the rebels were not the kind of bandits with lax defense. Some of their military qualities may not be as good as the regular army of the empire, but they are not completely without combat effectiveness. They are roughly above the militia and below the city guards.

So, Ryan quietly solved the two bright and dark sentries, bypassed the traps, and began to slowly explore the mine.

After killing two patrols in succession, Ryan passed through a dark and humid mine tunnel and came to an empty underground hall.

Although it is called a hall, it is only about three meters high and covers an area of ​​about two to three hundred square meters. It is likely that it was once the intersection of several mine tunnels. After further excavation and repair, it has formed its current appearance.

Bonfires were lit around the hall. About thirty strong men dressed as mercenaries were gathered in twos and threes. Some were chatting, some were greasing their swords, and some were wiping the shiny barrels of their matchlock guns.

Another part was gathered in front of a knight in plate armor, listening carefully.

When Ryan saw the knight in plate armor, his eyes narrowed and his gaze obviously stayed for a while longer.

It seems that this person should be the leader of the rebels who ambushed him. The knight who stayed behind mentioned that he had the strength of a senior knight.

A few seconds later, Ryan shifted his gaze from the people to the surroundings of the underground hall.

Ryan discovered that the underground hall was connected to at least four deep tunnels.

From this point of view, Ryan knew that he had chosen the right tactic by sneaking in carefully all the way.

Because if he forced his way in, even if he could rush all the way here smoothly, the rebels in the underground hall would flee even if they were defeated, and many of them might escape.

After all, it was difficult to guarantee that these four tunnels were not secret passages leading to the outside world.

In addition, he was only one person, and it was impossible for him to intercept or kill all the dozens of rebels on the spot.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ryan's mind like a flash of lightning.

Ryan gently raised his left hand. Since the chrome iron plate armor gloves had been damaged in the competition with Salem, Ryan was bare-handed at the moment, and he focused his eyes on his left little finger.

There was a ring that looked like an emerald ring on the surface, but it was actually a ring filled with hallucinogenic poison gas.

Ryan had never had the opportunity to use this thing since he purchased poison gas and filled it in the Bat Market last time, but he didn't expect to encounter such a perfect occasion for use today.

Ryan still remembered that Endri was also using it in the Elim Mine.

And the place where he was about to use it for the first time was also a mine.

Really

Ryan couldn't help laughing, and then shook his head slightly.

Unfortunately, Endri was not a hero.

Otherwise, he would have to say "Heroes think alike!" Ryan thought.

After sniffing the antidote in advance, Ryan gently pressed the needle-sized trigger on the side of the emerald ring. With a "click", the colorless and odorless poison gas was released and spread instantly.

After estimating the time, when it was almost time, Ryan drew out the glimmering giant sword and held it in his hand, and walked forward calmly.

In the underground hall, the few strong men closest to the edge saw Ryan's sudden appearance, their faces suddenly changed, and they shouted angrily:

"Who are you?"

"How did you get in!"

With the scolding of several people, all the members of the resistance in the underground hall were alarmed.

They all raised their heads and focused their attention on Ryan.

Facing Ryan, the unexpected guest, these people immediately took up a fighting stance, but as soon as they stood up, they stumbled and fell to the ground!

Everyone's face suddenly changed!

And the senior knight who stayed behind, after taking four or five steps, swayed twice, stared at Ryan with a gloomy face and said:

"Did you poison me?"

Ryan nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Despicable guy, you don't have enough strength, so you use such a despicable method!"

"Go to hell!"

Following the roar, came a powerful and heavy slash from the opponent holding a knight's sword!

As expected of a senior knight, the poison gas tactics from Endri had little effect on the senior knight.

It just reduces the opponent's speed and accuracy.

but

The opponent obviously misunderstood Renn's strength.

He thought that Ren's use of poison was due to his lack of strength.

His own strength is far inferior to Ren's, and this is somewhat affected by the poisonous gas. With this ebb and flow, the strength gap between the two sides becomes even greater!

"clang!"

Two swords clash!

The next second, the sound of a sharp blade cutting into flesh was heard.

"Pfft!"

In just one face-to-face encounter, the opponent's right hand was cut into the crease by Renne, and he was directly lifted up and cut off.

An arm holding a knight's sword flew in the air!

"Pfft!"

The other sword was a sideways step from Ren, which went around the left back of the senior knight, and quickly slashed hard towards the weak part of the opponent's armor behind the knee, directly cutting off one of the opponent's calves. .

"Ah! Who are you?"

"Ah! Why are you attacking us?"

The person in charge of the resistance force left behind suddenly screamed and kept asking questions.

But Renn paid no attention.

It was you who attacked me first.

Then you will naturally have to bear the pain of being bitten by me! Renxin said.

Seeing this scene, the faces of other elite rebels turned ashen!

The boss who stayed behind, a senior knight, was knocked down in just two moves, and he was wailing in a pool of blood.

Their strength is naturally even worse.

In order to survive, many people had begun to get up reluctantly and planned to run towards the surrounding tunnels.

But after being poisoned, they were all like drunkards. They fell down as soon as they got up. After falling, stimulated by the desire to survive, they continued to struggle to get up and fell down again.

After repeating this several times, most of the people could no longer stand up. They looked dazed or frightened, and started talking nonsense.

Obviously, the hallucinogenic gas has begun to attack this group of people rapidly!

Ren looked at the scene in front of him and nodded secretly. The hallucinogenic gas was very effective in dealing with a large number of ordinary people, saving him the embarrassing situation of tigers chasing ducks.

At this moment, except for a few quasi-knights who could barely struggle a few times, everyone else had become meat on the chopping board.

After keeping a few rebels who were obviously leaders alive, Ren killed all the others with one strike of his sword.

Immediately afterwards, Renne began to search everywhere.

After all, this is an organization's stronghold, and some supplies are still very abundant. Pieces of bacon stacked together, piles of cabbage, potatoes, etc. are all food.

In the small room on the side that serves as a weapons warehouse, there are many weapons, such as knight's swords, shields, two-handed swords and several brand-new matchlock guns.

Seemingly thinking of something, Ren, who was planning to check the next room, stopped, turned back to the small room, and picked up a matchlock gun.

Although Renn didn't know much about firearms like matchlocks, during the battle on the Shipwreck, he saw that the pirates needed to light a match before firing normally, and he knew that this was a relatively primitive firearm. arms.

It seems that according to the development history of the previous life, the matchlock was followed by the flintlock?

Renn shook his head slightly, because this was not his focus.

What he just noticed was the barrel of the matchlock gun.

The moment he left, the corner of his eye was attracted by the shiny gun barrel. This kind of craftsmanship seemed very unusual.

It seems to be some kind of stainless steel!

I heard last time that these matchlock guns are from the Eagle Federation.

Sure enough, after Renn carefully checked the barrel of the gun, he confirmed his guess.

According to the manufacturing process of this gun barrel, the metallurgical level of the Eagle Federation is very high, which can't help but make Ren have a lot of daydreams.

After thinking for a moment, Renn took down all the matchlock guns.

He planned to study it slowly after returning home.

When Ren came to another independent compartment on the side, as soon as he entered the door, he saw several bottles of Bordeaux wine on the table and the ruby-colored wine in the wooden cup.

He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:

"Tsk, tsk, the living conditions of the resistance army are really luxurious."

"Eh? Isn't this the emblem of the Crowley family?" Renn glanced at it accidentally and discovered the familiar pattern on the surface of the wooden box containing aged Bordeaux wine - a kite-shaped shield and a rose-like flower. flowers.

Undoubtedly, this is the hallmark of the Crawley family.

This immediately made Ren frown.

Is it possible that the Crowley family has something to do with the Zalal resistance?

wrong!

Renn couldn't help but picture the plump and beautiful figure of Baroness Crowley in his mind.

There is no way that the powerful woman in the Crowley family could be so stupid.

If they were supplying drinks to the rebels, any fool would know that they would have to eliminate their own family crest.

Could it be that someone else purchased it from the Crowley family's shop and then supplied it to the resistance?

Forget it, just make a blind guess, it would be easier to ask directly.

Fortunately, we didn’t kill all these people!

After questioning the leaders again, Ren suddenly realized.

It turned out that these precious Bordeaux vintages were looted along the way by the rebels disguised as bandits.

In this case, the Bordeaux vintages in these dozen wooden boxes should all be the goods of the Crowley family.

It seems that the Crowley family suffered a great loss this time!

After taking a brief inventory of the supplies in the base, Ryan looked at the pile of supplies in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He was alone, and it was obvious that no matter how strong he was, he couldn't move so many things back to Shining Gold Town.

In addition, it would be best for him to eliminate the traces, that is, to blow up this abandoned mine directly.

The nearly 1,000 imperial gold coins that were searched out must be taken away, and these few matchlock guns must also be taken away, as for the Bordeaux vintage.

Take them all away.

Who made me the guardian knight of the Crowley family!

Ryan found that one day he would be troubled by too much spoils of war.

It seems that this is the only way.

Ryan used the existing carts in the base to transport the Bordeaux wine and some high-value goods to the vicinity of the mine, covered them and marked them.

Then, he returned again and moved several barrels of gunpowder to the middle of the narrow mine tunnel, connected them in series with a fuse and ignited them.

As Ryan quickly flew out of the mine, a dull explosion sounded at the entrance of the mine a few seconds later, followed by a violent airflow that swept up the fallen leaves and gravel around.

After doing all this, Ryan began to return to the place where he had hidden his horse before.

As the sun set, a thin mist floated over the entire Shining Gold Town, and under the shining of the sunset, it was like a layer of golden gauze.

When Ryan returned home, he saw his sister Mint playing with the greyhound "Cookie" in the front yard.

Since Anna left, Mint has been depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, as "Cookie" grew up, it was able to play with Mint slowly.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but think of the wisdom potion. He had already prepared all the materials at the Nightingale Market in Rossby City. When the time comes, he will take the time to make it, which may further improve the intelligence of "Cookie".

"Brother, it's brother who is back!" As the sound of horse hooves became clearer, Mint suddenly looked up, stunned for a moment, and then shouted with joy.

It's dinner time.

Ryan's family sat around the wooden dining table.

"Ryan, you said you are a baron now?"

The wooden spoon in the mother Emma's hand fell into the soup plate with a "clang", splashing a lot of vegetable soup juice, and her eyes suddenly widened twice, looking at her son in surprise.

Although she knew that her son was going to participate in the noble canonization assessment, she only hoped that if her son could really pass it, he would become a distinguished knight.

How could Emma think that her son could jump two levels and become a baron directly!

Oh my God!

Goddess!

Old Ryan's mouth was also wide open, with an expression of disbelief, looking at his son.

He didn't expect that he could become the father of a baron one day!

Only his sister Mint seemed a little confused, but she also fluttered her long eyelashes, stared at her brother, and then turned her head to look at her parents.

From the expressions of her parents, Mint could be sure of one thing.

That is, her brother Ryan seemed to have done something extraordinary again!

There will be another update at noon! ^_^
