Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 342 Chapter [-]

Eldridge distributed these carefully prepared "war equipment" to the members of the "Rainbow Six" team one by one.

Even Master Laurie, Alice Comstock and Miss Lena Leslie, who were sent by Frost Maple Ridge, were not spared. One of them received an issue of "What the Lord Eats Today" , a Frost Maple Ridge book, and a bottle of suspicious-looking talisman water.

Eldridge proudly distributed the equipment in his pocket all the way to the end of the team, and was about to distribute it to the last team member wearing the Merk robe, but he never expected...

...the other party didn't buy it.

The team members were stunned to see that the hooded man first slapped the talisman water bottle handed over by Eldridge, and then kicked towards Commander Eda.

Amid the uproar, only Miss Alice Comstock slapped her eyes, while Lena Leslie and Master Victor Laurie's two bummed cheeks were full of excitement. He sneered again and again.

What kind of person is Pavol Eldridge, the commander of the Eastern Territory, who has never been slapped off by a "gift" like this, and then kicked in the foot for no reason?

Eldridge flew into a rage immediately, blushing immediately, and stretched out his hand to grab the boot kicked by the hooded man, as if he was about to use all his strength to wring off the hooded, short-eyed thing opposite. big crotch——

——Then, Eldridge looked up and saw a pair of extremely familiar angry eyes under the hood.

The commander of the Eastern Territory was immediately embarrassed on the spot.

The air froze for five seconds in the awkward silence before Eldridge carefully bent over and lifted the lord's incomparably noble foot back to the ground, then fell to his knees with a plop and buried his head in the lord's boots. He kissed him to show his loyalty.

"Commander Ai, you have such great authority..." The Duke of Shuangfengling's icy voice came out from under the hood.

The members of "Rainbow Six" were once again in an uproar.

No one expected that the honorable Lord Elliott Igor would sneak into this temporarily formed special warfare team in a private visit wearing a robe of Merk!

Only Eldridge, who was prostrate on the ground, was sweating on his neck under the mocking gazes of Master Laurie and Miss Lena.

"Boss, boss..." Eldridge lay on the ground and didn't dare to look up, "Why don't you, ah, condescend, ah, come here..."

Xia Houyan sneered under the hood and said:

"I didn't come here, how could I be lucky enough to see this good show... Tell me, Ai Shuai, I just let you lead a team into the castle to arrest people, but I didn't let you buy things? What you just posted" Equipment', what the hell is going on?"

Sweat dripped down Eldridge's face, clearly showing the tendency of the dam to burst and intensify.

"Ah, this, ah... I didn't expect you to come here in person, boss, it's really amazing... That... ah, I just thought, ah, the main idea of ​​Shuangfengling is powerful, ah, I will give it to other territories My friends, ah, let’s popularize... popular science, popular science..."

"Then what about this talisman water?" Xia Houyan snatched the talisman water bottle from Lina with his hands, made a few laps in his palm, and looked at Eldridge with a sneer.

The cold sweat on Eldridge's face was in a waterfall of free fall:
"That...placebo effect, ah, placebo..."

His dog face was smashed in the middle by the talisman water bottle thrown by the lord in anger.

"My dear Aishai, I only have one question to ask..." The lord spoke very slowly, but he said through gritted teeth, "When you distribute these 'combat equipment' to the team members, when you purchase them, you won't leave. Is it the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of our territory?"

"Maybe, maybe, maybe..." Eldridge weakly gestured with a classic Italian gesture, "... walked a little bit?"

"Then, just such a bottle of idiot 'fu water', how much is your purchase price?" The lord smiled kindly.

Eldridge only had time to say the first three syllables of "five gold coins" before he was kicked to the ground by the official Xiahou.

……

Eldridge tried to get kickbacks in the name of military purchases, but Eldridge was caught on the spot by the lord, perhaps in order not to be sent to the Frost Maple Ridge Military Court (like the civil court, the lord himself served as the judge), in the follow-up Be extraordinarily competent in the course of action.

When leading the team into the secret passage of Rock Creek Castle mentioned by Leon Houston, Eldridge, as the captain, went against the norm, holding a large shield in his left hand, a short sword in his right hand, and a lighting crystal pinned to his shoulder. When I came to the secret road, my husband led the way first, and the words "deserving crime and meritorious service" were written on my face.

The lord was just wearing a hood, and followed Eldridge into the secret passage with other team members, as if he was just an ordinary team member.

In fact, until now, Eldridge was very puzzled:

The honorable Lord Shuangfengling, why did he suddenly feel free, instead of bragging and bragging with other southern nobles comfortably in the town hall, but condescended to follow this special warfare team into the secret passage to perform the infiltration mission?

If the lord hadn't appeared mysteriously, his corruption deeds would never have been discovered!
Is this reasonable? !
However, even Alice Comstock, Lena Leslie, and even Master Laurie were at a loss as to why the lord appeared here—they also looked innocently at Eldridge. He said that the lord just got up suddenly, put on the robe of Mo Ke and followed him, and he didn't know what potion was being sold in the crystal bottle.

Eldridge and other team members, who were puzzled, could only focus on the mission of this trip.

Rock Creek Castle, located in the very center of Rock Creek City, faces south. Therefore, the team's assembly point is actually in the northeast of the castle, which is the rear wing of Rock Creek Castle.

This military fortress has been built to resist the invasion of southern orcs since ancient times, so most of the shooting holes and watchtowers are facing the south, and the castle defenders have a rather narrow view of the north side.

The assembled "Rainbow Six" team found a blind area of ​​vision of the castle defenders with little effort, crossed the moat that had been emptied by the local engineering team before winter, and touched it without anyone noticing. Under the corner of the towering stone wall of Rockbrook Castle, march along the wall.

In fact, as long as the lord casts a shadow-type magic, this team can move much more freely. However, there are many friendly reinforcements here today, and taboo magic is really a bit difficult to use.

Just like most of the ancient castles that have not been burned for a long time, under the corner of the castle wall of Rock Creek City, the internal test of the moat has not been completely cleaned up according to the defense regulations, and there are still dense weeds, shrubs and trees growing——

——If placed in the war years, these plants are likely to become props for the enemy to attack the city or conceal their figure.

Today, at the beginning of [-] in the imperial calendar, the weather is still cold, and the branches of the trees under the castle wall are still bare, and even covered with bits and pieces of snow:

The border was bitterly cold, and the remnants of the blizzard that swept through the Land of Cracking Soul and the banks of the Lionheart River half a month ago have even been preserved to this day.

According to Leon Houston's previous description, Eldridge led the team to walk around the city for a small half-turn, and finally found the entrance to the secret passage under the corner of the northwest corner of the castle;

He removed an inconspicuous dark limestone, and a dark, deep cave that went straight to the ground was completely exposed to the eyes of the team members.

Interestingly, this secret road leading to the city did not come from the planning of the nobles who built the city hundreds of years ago.

According to word of mouth of the Houston family, this tunnel communicates with the outside of the castle and the underground wine cellar of Rock Creek Castle. It was planned privately by the engineer who built the castle:

That old and cunning ancient engineer secretly dug such a tunnel, and then used this passage that even the castle lord didn't know, stole a lot of fine wine from the castle wine cellar, and made a fortune until the crime was finally revealed, Was hanged in public on the Rock Creek City Square;
However, the existence of this secret passage has since become a secret passed down from generation to generation by members of the Houston family. It once helped many members of the Houston family escape during the war and when the castle was besieged;

——To this day, it has become the path for the "Rainbow Squad" of the Southern Alliance Army to sneak into the castle.

In view of the darkness in the secret passage, the "five-star flame sharpshooter" Master Buckingham from Longshan County in the team specially sent a whale blubber flame arrow to each of the other team members. The arrow, held in the hand, can be used as a torch.

The so-called "flame sharpshooter" is actually a bow and arrow master trained by Longshan County who specializes in using long-range weapons to set fire to the bottom of the mountain prison.

The archers of the empire, every time they rise to a star level in the Archers Guild's register, they have to exchange twenty heads of enemy soldiers or criminals shot by them, but this rule is natural for the flame marksman in Longshan County Injustice—their arrows are entangled with all kinds of strong materials used for setting fires, and they are not designed to shoot humans at all;
But even so, Master Buckingham still got five golden sharpshooter stars, which means that he actually killed hundreds of unlucky people with blunt arrows wrapped in arrows in his career!
All the way around the city, Master Buckingham had been chatting happily with the lord in the robe of Mok.

For some reason, the master arsonist was interested in vine oil from Frostmaple Ridge;
Master Buckingham also put forward a lot of guidance on the fuel ratio for the "flaming candy" incendiary bomb that Shuangfengling is selling to the Southern Army.

All of this made Eldridge a little suspicious. The lord insisted on following the special operations team, so he couldn't be the one to poach the corner, right?

Soon, everyone smoothly entered the underground secret passage from the entrance of the cave.

As predicted before, the inside of the secret passage was terribly quiet, but there were no enemy troops stationed in Rock Creek City. The flames rising from the blubber burning arrows could only reflect the rough ancient stone walls in the secret passage and the fine cracks on the ground. Rat skeleton.

The existence of this secret passage is probably only known to the Duke of Houston in Rock Creek City—and if the person in charge of Rock Creek Castle at this moment is an outsider, the black priest, then he has no possibility to think that he will be in the castle. Arm near the secret door.

However, Eldridge still strictly followed the regulations of the "Indoor Combat Guidelines" compiled by the Frost Maple Ridge Staff Department. First, he bent down and slid a lighting crystal along the floor with the most professional CQB posture. It wasn't until the magical brilliance of the crystal swept across the entire tunnel and confirmed that there was no ambush before leading the team to explore the depths of the secret tunnel.

Together with Eldridge in the vanguard was a Trout Castle Rosa Knight sent by Earl Dimitri—this Mr. Knight was a bit taciturn, but since Eldridge’s corruption was exposed, he Looking at the captain's eyes was full of contempt.

At the back of the team were the mages sent by the major territories. Since there was no water source to use around, the "tide caller" Master Ramos sent by Marquis Moby Dicko was despised, and walked in as a useless person. The team is last.

As for the Duke of Shuangfengling, who was still wearing a silent robe and was acting with the team for no reason, he was undoubtedly protected by a group of swordsmen in the middle of the team.

Although no one knew why this fellow had personally entered into a dangerous situation, protecting the life and safety of the "President Southern Military Affairs" was undoubtedly the top priority of this operation.

The underground secret passage is not too long, and everyone walked silently for dozens of meters before successfully reaching the end.

At the end of the secret passage, there are several old stone steps covered with moss and fungus. As long as you step up, you can touch a hidden door with a latch on the ceiling:
This secret door undoubtedly leads to the wine cellar of Rock Creek City Castle. The wooden door panel is not as old as other things in the tunnel, but it is also quite old. It is obvious that a previous Lord of Rock Creek City had deliberately changed it.

Eldridge sniffed the air with his nose, which was sharper than a dog. After he was keenly aware of the rotten sweet smell of wine, he took the lead up the stone steps, and put his ear to the secret door on the ceiling to listen.

Then, he opened his mouth wide and mouthed to the other special forces to report:
"There are people in the castle cellars up there! They're drinking!"

All eyes were on Party A's father in this operation.

A certain imposter Merk reached out to the employees and made a throat-slitting gesture viciously.

——In these days after traveling to another world, Ya has practiced this tactical gesture extremely proficiently.
