"I don't know how complicated the passages are below, but Izcoatl has been traveling underneath, coming down from the ground, and going down from the ground. Therefore, there must be one hole in these three holes that is connected to the other two holes. There must be
One side of the hole is connected to the passage he came from. If he doesn't go back the same way, there is also a passage he left. So just jump into the hole he left, and it will be easier to find the passage he left. And he left
If you are being pursued at any time, you won’t have much room to spare, so the exit passage should have no forks.”
Ella explained her previous thoughts in this way.
"Is there any problem with this inference?"
"Hmm... It sounds like there should be no problem." Amy said, "No matter how many forks there are, these key passages must exist."
"But you also said that this excludes the possibility of him returning the same way he came." Glahid added on the side, "And he can also choose to go back part of the way and then dig a new tunnel."
"No, that's not right..." Ella's body suddenly trembled. She turned around suddenly and asked the soldiers who were leading Bjorn: "From the time you appeared in the first hole to the time you ran away after the third hole appeared, a total of
How much time?"
"I...how do we know how much time has passed?"
"Probably! About how much time has passed?" Ella yelled. "As long as you find a passage and there is no detour after this time, isn't that the passage he left?"
"It's big...it only takes about two or three minutes."
"Three minutes?" Amy didn't believe it. "Can you dig such a complicated passage in three minutes?"
"Oops! This means that before the first hole appeared, he was digging holes underground and hovering." Glahid held his head with some annoyance: "The previous train of thought was completely messed up. He has not finished walking beyond this time.
The road may not be the way for him to escape. Since he is so fully prepared, the previous inference is completely meaningless! Instead of digging a new hole, he can get rid of Bjorn through the existing complicated passage!
"
"Grahid...what did you just say?"
Ella suddenly grabbed Grahid's hand
"You just said that rather than digging a new hole, it would be better to get rid of Bjorn through the existing complicated passage, right?"
Glahid looked at Ella with a blank expression. All of Ella's previous inferences were based on Izcoatl digging a new tunnel to escape. Since he would not dig too complicated a tunnel when escaping, it was necessary to
There is still some hope of finding an escape passage. But if Izcoatl uses the existing passage to avoid Bjorn, it will be completely impossible to track. He feels that the future is uncertain. But Ella's eyes don't know.
Why is the light of hope shining?
"Only a fool would run around aimlessly, and only a god would suddenly appear out of thin air. Since Izcoatl is likely to return the same way he came, then where is the 'original road' that allows him to return?
"
"King of Sweden, what do you mean?"
"Grahid, you are from England. Are there any villages nearby? In which direction?"
"As for the nearby village, there is only one." Glahid pointed to the northwest, "a very small village. Originally, Bjorn's army would be plundered when they arrived, but since the King of Knights asked the villagers to dig in advance,
If you know the tunnel, there shouldn't be any problem."
"That's the problem! Izcoatl also digs tunnels, and there is a high probability of finding the hiding villagers! Listen, let's pursue in the northwest direction!"
"Hey!" Amy shouted toward the ground, "focus on finding the tunnel leading to the northwest!"
"Report to the King of Sweden, there are some traces of fire in front of this passage!" A pirate shouted from below, "I'm afraid it was left by Bjorn!"
Ella and Amy looked at each other - Izcoatl's escape route was finally found.
"Should we still go through the tunnel?" Glahid said, "The underground is not conducive to the deployment of troops. Since we know the direction, it may be better to go above ground..."
"Our goal is to support Bjorn. Although the direction has been determined, Bjorn and Izcoatl may not be fighting in the village. Grahid, our troops are divided into two groups. You lead the troops by land. Ai and I
Mi still chases along the tunnel!"
After making arrangements, Ella followed the rope and entered the cave without saying a word. The scene in front of her surprised her again - she was once held by Izcoatl and walked in the underground passage.
The passage was so narrow that Izcoatl himself had to bend his back. But the passage in front of him was enough for Ella to straighten her body and move forward.
Ella took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but warn the accompanying soldiers: "The scale of this underground passage is larger than I thought. Izcoatl's power has indeed increased a lot. Be careful, you must always do this after entering
So ready for the fight!"
Since the narrow terrain was conducive to Izcoatl, Amy led a group of powerful soldiers at the front, while Ella led the remaining pirates in the middle of the group. Bjorn's few
His subordinates were scared out of their wits and even moved to the rear. Grahid led another force to pursue them by land, and some soldiers guarded the entrance of the passage to avoid being cut off from their retreat.
At first, Ella was worried that there would be more forks in the road, but her worries were unnecessary. Keeping her eyes on the northwest direction and walking forward for a distance, the passage gradually became simpler, and soon there was only a long path left.
A long one. After walking forward like this for a while, Ella felt a slight vibration. She tensed her nerves and carefully walked forward for a while, when a message came from the front: the vanguard had arrived at the exit.
Ella rushed to the front and found that there was a hole in the top. Several flexible soldiers had climbed up first and put down the ladder to facilitate the climbing of large groups. In front, the dark passage continued to extend.
.
"I have sent a few soldiers to continue exploring forward." Amy said, "But I already feel that there is a huge magic power nearby. It is difficult for us to take advantage of the number of people underground. Since there is an exit here, I
I think it’s better if we climb out first.”
Ella nodded. So the pirates began to climb up the ladder one by one. Every once in a while, there was a vibration in the distance, conveying the message that "the enemy is nearby" to everyone. Although Ella
There was no order, but the pirates consciously held their breath and tried to avoid making any noise to avoid alerting the enemy.
The exit is in the middle of a farmland, not far away is a small village, presumably the one Glahid mentioned. However, Glahid's troops have yet to show up. Taking the tunnel below is actually better than taking the road above ground.
Much faster.
There were some faint noises in the village, but they were not very clear. The soldiers climbed out of the passage one after another and gathered in the farmland outside the village. However, due to the large number of people, it would take some time for the gathering to be completed.
