In an instant, everyone's expressions froze. Luta pulled the corners of her stiff lips and squeezed out an extremely ugly smile: "You...don't joke, now is not the time to joke...Everyone is waiting for Master Kino."

Come out..."

The slave who entered the independent space slumped on the ground, crying in despair, without even the slightest light in his eyes.

This look became the last straw that broke Luta's confidence. She stumbled into the entrance of the independent space. When she came out again, she couldn't even stand. She fell and collapsed on the ground, her eyes empty and she muttered to herself.

Saying: "How is it possible..."

"Where's the scorching sky fire... Didn't we all agree that there will be scorching sky fire after three days of guarding... Why is it empty... Where is Master Kino?"

The slave held his head and cried loudly: "We were deceived! There was no such thing as blazing sky fire... That bastard left us here to die and ran away! We were all betrayed!

!”

In the face of the desperate reality, everyone's emotions completely collapsed. Some people collapsed on the ground and shed tears silently. Some people banged their heads against the wall and cried like crazy. Some people opened guns and fired wildly at the independent space while venting.

On the other hand, he cursed Kino in the most vicious words and said he would not die well.

Just when Luta was helpless and crying, her arm was suddenly grabbed. Lugo pulled her up and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Follow me."

Luta cried and said: "Where to go? There are enemies everywhere outside... We have no place to escape, we all have to die..."

Lugo didn't explain anything, just repeated "Follow me."

Everyone was like a walking zombie at this time, they no longer had the ability to make independent decisions. Lugo asked them to follow, and they followed silently.

Lugo led everyone to the cellar, opened the escape tunnel, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone go in, and when you get out, you can escape separately."

Everyone stared blankly at the deep corridor in front of them. The boy slowly came into focus and asked in shock: "This...is this an escape passage? Is there such a place in the city?!"

"Is it safe...do the enemies know about it too?"

"I don't care if it's safe or not, you'll die if you stay in the city, why not give it a try!"

"Great...we finally have hope!"

While the other slaves were rejoicing, Luta's eyes changed from confusion to astonishment, and finally turned into unspeakable horror. She looked at Lugo with wide eyes, and her voice couldn't stop trembling: "Why do you know there is a secret passage here?

?..."

Lugo lowered his eyes, not to mention answering directly, he didn't even have the courage to look directly at Luta.

This look made Luta understand everything. Tears welled up from her eyes, her eyes became extremely sad, and her voice was distorted and hoarse from crying: "You knew that Kino had abandoned us... and you knew that we could escape here.

..But let everyone stay in the city and die?"

Lugo closed his eyes tightly, not knowing what to say, so he could only push everyone forward: "Let's go."

The other slaves also understood one after another and looked at Lugo with eyes mixed with fear and anger.

Luta's face twitched, and her distorted expression went beyond the description of any language: "You are an accomplice... Lugo... more than 20,000 brothers... you killed them...

.You betrayed them..."

At this time, there was a faint roar of horse hooves outside the house. It must be that the Royal Army had already attacked nearby. Lugo knew that he could not afford to delay, so he pushed Luta and others into the tunnel with all his strength: "Let's go!

!”

"Let's go first, Luta!" A slave grabbed Luta's arm and led her and the rest of her companions to escape deeper into the secret passage.

Lugo watched Luta go away, her tears scattered in the air, her eyes were ferocious and twisted, it was a look of hatred that he had never seen before...

...

After Luta and others escaped, Lugo also escaped through the secret passage.

Taking into account the scope of the encirclement of the Royal Army, Kino dug an extremely long secret tunnel. The exit was located in a forest on the outskirts of the country. There were few bushes here and there were all towering thousand-year-old trees.

Looking around, the branches of the trees are intertwined back and forth, and the lush leaves stretched out like the claws of wild beasts. The wind blows through the tops of the tall trees, making bursts of huge and slow rustling sounds.

Generally speaking, there will be no troops stationed in this kind of dense forest, but now is the war period, and many things are uncertain. Lugo did not dare to stay after escaping, and ran to the northeast according to the direction of the sun to avoid danger.

Open the route for the Western aid of the Imperial Army.

Rather than running, it is better to say that he staggered. Lugo was really too tired, and his physical strength had long been exhausted. He relied entirely on willpower to hold on. I don’t know how long it had passed. The deeper into the forest, the more lush the vegetation became.

Even the sky is looming, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves. Sometimes it looks very flat, but when you step on it, you find a big pit underneath.

Just when Lugo was stumbling and dizzy, he finally heard the gurgling sound of the stream. He followed the sound and ran to the stream, almost kneeling beside the rocks and drinking the stream water crazily.

Swallowing the sweet spring water into his mouth was a completely different experience from drinking raw stinky blood. For the first time, he discovered that drinking water was such a happy thing.

Just when Lugo was drinking water to quench his thirst, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He began to look around. He was surrounded by tall and leafy trees, and there were bushes under the big trees. Logically speaking, there should be many animals in this environment.

.

Then at this moment, I didn't even hear a bird chirping, only the rushing sound of the stream...

"Hush, hush, hush—" Before Lugo could react, there was a sudden whistling sound in the forest, and a crossbow arrow attached to a large net was shot, trapping him in it in the chaos.

Lugo had exhausted all his energy during the three days of fierce fighting. Not to mention using the extraordinary power of lightning, his steps before escaping were futile, and the fact that he could even move his legs was a sign of amazing willpower.

At this time, he was bound by so many nets, and he could only struggle and scream inside, unable to break open at all.

"Haha, we caught the prey!" A dozen men with weapons ran out from the forest. They were wearing simple armors and had ruthless expressions. They looked like they were not regular army troops, but probably bandits on the run.

When Lugo was tied up and thrown on horseback by these bandits, he was already cursing in his heart. He fought bloody battles in Sadwind City for three days, and millions of royal troops stopped him. But now he was kidnapped by a group of bandits who didn't even care.

If word got out, outsiders would laugh out loud.

"Hey, hey!" Lugo hurriedly advised, "Let's discuss something. You can take away all my belongings and let me go. I'm a big man and not a beautiful woman. It's useless for you to take me back.

!”

"Shut your stinky mouth!" The robber was so barbaric that he punched Lugo until his nose started to bleed.

After more than half an hour of jolting, the bandits returned to their camp.

Lugo was thrown off his horse and rolled to the ground in a panic. He looked at the malicious bandits with fear and cursed in his heart. If he was killed by these idiots, he would be the stupidest person in history.

Extraordinary.

However, a gangster like Lugo who was born on the street can bend and stretch better than anyone else. He did not hold back, but just nodded and bowed to apologize to the bandits: "Brothers, I am just a refugee. You can take whatever you want. What do you think I will do?

I'm ugly and thin, and I won't be worth much if I sell it as a slave. Brother, please do a good job and let me go."

One of the robbers kicked him on the head and said arrogantly: "Want to leave? Kowtow to the grandfathers first."

"Okay, okay, I'll knock you." Lugo suppressed the anger in his heart and didn't break out. The most important thing now is to save his life. When the time comes, he will return to Chino and pick out these dogs one by one and torture them to death.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Lugo was about to kowtow when an exclamation suddenly came from not far away: "By God... Lugo?!"

Lugo was startled, raised his head and looked over, his dull expression slowly turned into surprise: "One-eyed Joan?!"

The person who came was a man with a full body and one eye missing. He was none other than one-eyed Joan, a good friend who used to hang out with Lugo in Twilight City.

Judging from the respectful looks of the people around him, One-Eyed Joan should be the leader of the bandits. After he recognized Lugo, he opened his mouth in surprise: "My brother Lugo, how did you end up like this... You

Who inflicted the injury on the face?!"

Lugo glanced at the bandit who just hit him, and One-Eyed Joan slapped him away: "Fuck you, uncle, you dare to hit my brother?!"

After One-Eyed Joan finished beating the man, he helped Lugo untie and help him up. He put his arms around his shoulders and said to everyone: "Open your eyes wide! This is my eldest brother! He was the one who protected me in Twilight City. Without him, there would be no me."

One-Eyed Joan!”

Now living under someone else's roof, Lugo doesn't have the airs of a big brother at all. He smiles and nods.

"Brother, let's go, don't worry about these guys, go to my place for dinner." One-eyed Qiong and Lugo walked shoulder to shoulder and swaggered towards their tents.

There was a table of wine and meat in the one-eyed tent. Lugo had eaten nothing during the three days of bloody battle. His body had already begun to decompose his muscles to survive. He was already starving and wolfing down the food in an exaggerated manner.

One-eyed Qiong said with a smile: "Slow down, no one will compete with you."

Lugo gnawed on the bread in his hand, looked at the one-eyed Joan with grateful eyes and said: "Brother, from today on, you are my savior!"

One-Eyed Qiong grinned and said, "Brother, you are joking. If you hadn't helped me remove the wanted order, I would still be a fugitive who everyone wants to beat."

Lugo stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth, took a sip of wine, and asked with concern: "Speaking of which, why did you become a bandit?"

One-Eyed Qiong sighed: "It's not because of this war. Every city is under military control. It's impossible to go out on the streets to make some money. If you don't have enough to eat, you can only bring a group of brothers out to rob. After a day

Let’s count it as one day.”

Lugo patted One-Eyed Qiong on the shoulder and vowed: "Brother, don't lose heart. I told you that you are my savior. From today on, if you have a bowl of rice from me, you will never be hungry. From now on, you will never be hungry.

All the money I earn will be given to you in half!"

One-eyed Qiong was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When have I, Lugo, ever lied?" Lugo patted his chest, and it was indeed not a joke.

The results of the raid on the royal city have not been announced yet. If Kino wins, he will definitely ask for credit for One-Eyed Qiong. Not to mention being granted the title of marquis or prime minister, he will definitely be indispensable for a lifetime of glory and wealth.

If Kino loses, then he will wander around the world with One-Eyed Joan and share the hardships in the future. To meet such a good brother who has passed his life, there is nothing else he could ask for in life.

"Brother Lugo is really loyal!" One-eyed Qiong narrowed his eyes with a smile, hooked Lugo's shoulder and said, "But brother shouldn't have to worry about me, because I have already found a way to make money, and I will become very, very rich.

!”

Lugo laughed and said: "Really, then I congratulate you in advance! Don't forget me, your good brother~"

"No, how could I forget brother~" One-Eyed Joan leaned into Lugo's ear and said slowly, "After all, I still have to take your head to go to His Majesty the King to receive the reward."
