Chapter 52 Secret Path(1/2)
The carriage stopped behind a slope.
When Qin Ran took his belongings and jumped out of the carriage, it was already the last moment when dawn was about to pass, and it was almost dawn.
With the height of the Thunder Fortress, even if you are not a sharpshooter, you only need to have a sharper look to clearly see a very distant place.
What's more, most of the grassland invaders are sharpshooters.
As long as the leading general is not a fool, he knows how to take advantage of his own advantages.
So, Qin Ran and Bosico are all careful.
"I can only send you here!"
"I wish you a safe return!"
Bosico said rarely in a serious tone.
"Um!"
"Say goodbye to Mary for help. Although I wanted to say it in person before,..."
Qin Ran shrugged and did not continue.
Before, Qin Ran wanted to say goodbye to Mary in person, but the girl's expression made Qin Ran at a loss. By the time he came to his senses, he was already in the carriage.
It is naturally a pity that you didn't say it in person.
But it's the same if someone tells you.
That's what Qin Ran thought.
But he did not expect Bosico's reaction.
"Your Highness, please go and talk to me in person..."
"This farewell is too heavy, please forgive me for not being able to convey it!"
After Bosco said that, he got on the carriage and left.
Looking at the carriage that was blending into the darkness, Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
He knew what Bosico had misunderstood, but he had no chance to explain.
He couldn't shout out loud to leave Bosco.
Because, that will also expose him.
Shaking his head, Qin Ran threw these trivial matters out of his mind and began to look at the Thunder Fortress in the distance with all his concentration.
The secret passage is located between the mountain wall on the left side of the Thunder Fortress.
Although it is not high, it also requires some distance to climb.
More importantly, you need to avoid the sight of the Thunder Fortress at all times.
At night, it’s okay to have the darkness of the night, but even Qin Ran is not sure enough once it’s dawn.
Therefore, Qin Ran was ready to act immediately.
However, when he looked at the Thunder Fortress, his body couldn't help but be shocked.
He saw two Jingguans located on both sides of the avenue!
It is made up of the bodies of the defenders of the Thunder Fortress. Although it is not as compact as the soil, it makes people shudder.
Qin Ran had contact with countless corpses.
But this is the first time I saw the body placed in Jingguan.
It took him two or three seconds to come back to his senses.
"Show off your merits and shock your enemies?"
Qin Ran murmured to himself.
Undoubtedly, the grassland invaders did a very successful job.
Qin Ran was sure that with the morale of the remnants of Warren King Durelderi, if it was possible to come here, it would really become a lack of morale and a disintegration of morale.
Of course, this is just a nearly impossible assumption.
But one of Qin Ran’s original plan needs to be changed.
"Hyperbore? No!"
“It’s not just bloodthirsty, but…”
Qin Ran roughly swept through Jingguan, and the number of corpses far exceeded the number of him who had passed the level before.
Where did the remaining bodies come from?
Part of it comes from the battles of the grassland invaders when they enter the Thunder Fortress.
Another part...
Prisoners of war!
Although the road he chose when he came was a hidden path, Qin Ran could still see the defeated soldiers returning from the Thunder Fortress from time to time from the car window.
The number reached hundreds of people.
Compared with the number of people stationed in the Thunder Fortress, this number is not too large.
Qin Ran guessed at the time that these soldiers should have been captured.
So, he instinctively thought of creating chaos, releasing all prisoners, and causing trouble for the grassland invaders.
However, now it seems that he still underestimated the determination of the grassland invaders.
Or...
He overestimated the number of grassland invaders.
Although there was not enough time, James VIII still gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the grassland people.
Using tribes as a collection, slavery is prevalent, and slaves are used as currency. In some rare tribes, slaves are more valuable than gold.
The biggest source of slaves is war.
Simply put, prisoners of war are generally used as slaves. Killing slaves that can represent money is to destroy their own property.
When will you destroy your property?
When it is impossible to truly own these properties, it is absolutely necessary.
There are not many cases where the grassland invaders who occupied the Thunder Fortress have had no choice.
The number of people is the greatest possibility.
"There are not enough people to take care of the prisoners of war, so kill them all?"
Qin Ran acted quickly with guesses in his heart.
As for the behavior towards grassland people?
He didn't have any more comments.
After all, Grassland and Warren are both hostile sides, and it is no exaggeration to use any method to go to war between the two countries.
At this moment, the grassland massacred prisoners of war and became a deterrent to Warren in Beijing.
When Warren was once powerful, he never rushed back tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.
This itself is a relative and constantly changing relationship, and it will only stop after one of the two sides completely perishes.
Qin Ran didn't know when one of the two sides would completely perish.
But he knew that his current position could not allow Warren to perish.
At least, not now.
Whoosh!
Carrying a brand new, Warren-style backpack, Qin Ran jumped onto the left wall of Thunder Fortress with a slight sound of breaking through the air.
According to the drawings, Qin Ran found the entrance without spending much time.
Under a dead tree.
After pushing away the soil covered with it, a secret passage made of rock appeared in front of you.
Qin Ran stood quietly on the side, and waited until the dirty air in the secret passage dissipated, then slowly entered it.
Darkness cannot stop Qin Ran's vision.
He could clearly see that the entire secret passage was moving straight forward, and when he came to the end, there were steps upwards.
These steps are not the steps you usually see.
It is more like a ladder carved from stone, requiring people to climb upwards with hands and feet.
The height is about twenty meters.
Qin Ran carried his backpack and climbed over with his hands, as flexible as an ape, and quickly arrived at the top.
To be continued...
