Chapter 294 Encounter by chance(1/2)
Outside the cave is a quiet small canyon with strange rocks, with no one.
Roger didn't want to turn around and search for the entrance from the dungeon.
He thought it would be more convenient to look for it from outside.
He thought that his three cavalry teams had more than 180 people, plus the business team, the horses were neighing and roaring, and the noise was very small, so it would be easier to find from outside.
So Roger led Henk out of the canyon.
Outside is a deserted wilderness.
Roger looked back and saw that the entrance to the dungeon, which was like a natural cave, was so inconspicuous.
For a moment, Roger felt that the dungeon where more than 3,000 people lived just seemed to be just an illusion.
He felt like he had been abandoned on an alien planet.
At this time, a "ding-ding-dang" sound came from the wind, as if someone was digging.
Roger thought about the strange characteristics of the stone here introduced by the old man before.
He became curious and wanted to see if the stones here were really as soft as the old man said after they were dug up.
So he used his sensitive ears to pursue the sound in the wind and searched for the past.
He and Henke entered the stone forest again.
Roger believed that this should be the previous stone forest, because the stone pillars seemed to be similar.
After turning one stone pillar after another like an elf chimney, Roger saw a quiet forest.
In front of the dense woods, someone was digging a hole.
Roger actually didn't see the man. The man had already dug very deeply. He couldn't see the man from the ground.
He only saw gravel and soil, thrown out one by one.
So Roger led Henk forward.
But before he could get to the pit, suddenly a group of people rushed out of the woods.
There are about 20, some riding horses, some walking, some holding bows, and some holding swords.
They quickly formed a semi-encirclement, surrounding Roger and Henke.
These people have a ferocious face, and they are obviously veterans who have fought for a long time.
They held shields and swords in front, and hid behind with bows and arrows, and cooperated with each other skillfully.
Roger looked at their outfits and was Roma.
He and Henk drew their sword the moment they rushed out.
But judging by the other party's attitude, Roger was very guilty.
He thought, it was over now.
At this time, the sound of digging the pit stopped. Roger glanced at the person in the pit, straightened up and poked his head out.
The man looked at Roger and said, “Isn’t this the commander of Christians?
"I really didn't expect you to come here. It seems that this is Allah's arrangement."
Roger looked carefully at the person who dug the hole and found that he knew him.
It's a white robe!
Roger quickly judged the situation.
He felt that these Roma people surrounding him should be the personal guards of the young white-robed ones.
Moreover, he found that the young general in white robe had no weapons except the shovel.
Roger felt this was an opportunity.
He grabbed Henk, jumped into the pit, and then put his sword on the white-robed young man's neck.
Although Roger was a little surprised, why did this young white-robed man with superb martial arts not resist when he controlled him.
But he couldn't think so much at this moment.
He shouted in Arabic to the people around him: "Don't come over, or I'll kill him."
The Roma warriors did not attack, but did not leave.
They formed a circle and surrounded the pit.
None of these people spoke, but just looked at Roger coldly from a condescending manner.
At this time, the young general of white robe spoke, and he said, "You are here just in time. I want to ask you to do me a favor..."
Roger immediately replied: "You can ask me for help, you order them to retreat.
"As long as they don't hurt me, I promise you that I won't hurt you."
The young white-robed man said regretfully: "I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."
Roger said viciously: "Then I will kill you."
"Don't think your hands are too late to save you. Believe it or not, I will kill you before they take action.
"My sword is very sharp."
The young man in white robe said frankly: "In fact, this is exactly my request. I want you to help kill me."
Roger was stunned all of a sudden.
He stared at the white-robed young man and said, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"
The young man in white robe gestured around with his hands and said, "Didn't you see that I've even dug the tomb?"
He continued in Roger's stunned silence: "I don't want to commit suicide.
“I told my men to kill me, but none of them would do anything.
"They didn't even want to help me dig a tomb, I had to do it myself.
"When I was digging the tomb, I was thinking, just come to anyone, anyone can do it, I really don't want to kill myself.
"I thought this was just a luxury. In this deserted place, where did people come from except my personal guards?
"But unexpectedly, my enemy would suddenly appear.
“I can’t think of any other reason besides Allah’s arrangement.
"So kill me, this is the will of Allah, let's do it."
Roger's nervous brain was running quickly.
He knew that he could not obey the request of the young man in white robe and killed the other party.
That will not do anything good for you.
Just look at the expressions of the young generals and guards around you, you can tell that they are obviously happy to let themselves and Henk bury the young general with white robe.
But not obeying the white-robed young general does not mean that he can leave safely.
After all, both sides are in a state of hostility, and the young general's subordinates are still willing to kill him.
Roger didn't know where his troops were at this time and how far they were from here.
His sensitive ears quickly scanned the surroundings like radar.
But except for the people he could see in his eyes, he did not hear any other people's voices.
Obviously, it is unrealistic to hope that your troops will arrive suddenly.
Roger thought that his cavalry probably didn't know that they were here and were in danger, and they might think they were still wandering in the cave.
Roger thought that if he died here like this, then a certain term in later generations might record: Roger, the Earl of Sicily, mysteriously disappeared on the Anatolian plateau after winning a decisive victory over the Sultan of Rom at the city of Icon.
Roger forced himself to stop his divergent thinking, and it was no time to joke.
And he thought that this kind of joke was not funny at all.
Sweat oozed out of Roger's forehead. No matter how he thought, he felt that he had no hope of leaving alive.
The young general in white robe in front of him was waiting quietly.
Roger looked at the other party carefully, and he felt that the young player was really young, as if he was about the same age as him.
A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: This person is so good, why should he die?
Roger knew that Mullins's teachings did not advocate the ease of ending his life.
He thought, what exactly is the reason that makes this young player so determined to die?
Roger had a premonition in his mind that if he wanted to break his own dead end, the key might be the young player in front of him.
So Roger took back the sword and signaled Henk to insert the sword back into the scabbard.
At this time, the weapon no longer works.
He decided to have a good talk with the young player.
