Stepping on the compacted soil, a group of people walked slowly along the dark passage with torches.
The dark passage that is constantly winding and sloping downward is not as small as the entrance of the cave looks.
Even if three people walk side by side, it won't feel crowded.
What surprised Sauron even more was that there was enough fresh air in this passage deep underground.
As the group continued to go deeper, a difficult problem appeared in front of everyone.
Divide the troops? Not divide the troops?
Looking at the Y-shaped forks to the left and right of the passage under his feet, Zoro fell into deep thought.
Feeling the looks from his subordinates, he took a deep breath.
"Kahn, take Rudas, Siwo, Bode, and Albert along this road."
"Others follow me the other way."
Zoro gave some instructions to the group of people and made the distribution in an instant.
"Yes, Lord Zoro!"*8
Faced with Sauron's decision, everyone naturally had no objections.
"Kahn!" Just as Kahn led the four people out, Zoro called him.
"???Lord Zoro, what are your orders?"
Kahn looked at Zoro with some confusion, wondering why Zoro stopped him.
"Nothing! Just... pay attention to safety."
"If you encounter something that cannot be solved, go back first."
"The same goes for you, I don't want what happened to Drew to happen again!"
Everyone felt warm in their hearts when they heard Sauron's words: "Thank you, Lord Sauron, for your concern."
Immediately, the five of them turned around and stepped forward resolutely, like warriors bravely venturing into the abyss.
In the swaying light of the fire, it disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
After watching the five Kahns completely disappear into the darkness, Sauron led the remaining three people towards another passage:
"let's go!"
The Y-shaped fork fell into silence again.
In the silent passage, several torches made of whale oil, linen and thick wooden sticks were burning silently.
The firelight flickered, and six unique pitch-black aliens jumped out from the dark passage.
Unlike the long braincases of worker bees and warriors, this new type of alien head is smaller.
Because it is quite similar to the hat of a deacon in the Holy See, it was named deacon.
In exchange for more flexible mobility and strong and sharp claws and tail.
The Deacon not only gave up the powerful weapon of the Inner Nest Teeth, but his body was also smaller than that of the Warrior Alien.
If the worker bee alien is a farmer who collects supplies, the warrior alien is a strong frontal human shield.
Then the Deacon is the assassin and ranger among the aliens.
With a roar of lowered heads, they split into two waves and pursued Sauron and Kahn.
In the maze-like passage, Sauron led Ike, Pedro, and Seth around like headless flies.
During this period, the four of them encountered several forks in the road.
However, for the sake of safety, Sauron did not decide to continue dividing his troops.
On the other side, the five Kahns, like the four Saurons, also encountered many forked roads.
It's just that unlike the calm on Sauron's side, there was constant fighting on Kahn's side.
From time to time, aliens jumped out from corners, overhead, or behind them and attacked them.
Most of them are worker bee aliens, and a few are warrior aliens.
This group of aliens seemed to be blocking Kahn and his party from moving forward.
However, the more this happened, the more Kahn felt that he was on the right track.
The attacks along the way left the armor on the group's bodies more or less corroded by strong acid blood.
And the path they chose to stick to was the direction leading to the basement of Leicester Castle.
As the group of people continued to move forward, more and more aliens appeared on the road.
Behind them, the three following deacons seemed to be hunters with enough patience, hanging far behind the five Kahns.
Faced with the death of their own kind, they remain unmoved.
Like a ruthless hunter, the only prey in his eyes is Kahn.
After turning a ninety-degree arc corner, the huge underground space was exposed to human eyes for the first time.
The scene that caught their eyes caused the four people who followed Kahn to take a deep breath and feel their scalps numb.
I saw that in the huge underground space, there were densely packed eggs that could not be seen around the edges.
Even people with slow reaction times will understand the function of these gadgets when faced with the sea of alien eggs.
"I'll go over and take a look first, be careful!" Kahn was the first to come back to his senses.
He drew out the long sword from his waist and slowly moved forward to approach one of the alien eggs closest to him.
By the light of the fire in his hand, Kahn could clearly see the alien egg he was walking toward opening slowly like petals.
The flabby body under the armor instinctively tensed up.
The right hand holding the long sword couldn't help but tighten a little tighter.
Seeing that there was no movement from the alien egg with its top opened, Kahn stopped and took a tentative step.
It seems that he has determined that he can hug Kahn's face.
The facehugger that was originally shrinking in the egg suddenly burst out, leaped out of the egg, and flew towards Kahn's face.
What it didn't expect was that what greeted it was not Kahn's head at all, but a long sword with some corrosion marks.
The moment Kahn saw a black shadow leaping out of the egg, he instinctively slashed at it with his sword.
Although it is not clear what the black shadow coming out of the egg is.
But his intuition told him that getting entangled with this thing would definitely not yield any good results.
As a result, the long sword in Kahn's hand slashed the facehugger in two.
A large amount of strong acid blood sprayed out from the facehugger's body. Kahn took two steps back and dodged easily.
"Be careful, there is something inside these eggs, and their blood is also corrosive."
Kahn retreated to Rudas and others and said cautiously.
Rudas, who had witnessed everything before his eyes, was disdainful of Kahn as the captain.
But he also had to admit that Kahn's strength was not comparable to his own.
If it were him, he might not be able to react so quickly.
Rudas knew that now was not the time to be impulsive, as Drew's death was still fresh in his mind.
"Kahn, I suggest you leave here first and join Lord Sauron first."
Rudas expressed his thoughts at the right time.
Siwo, Bode and Albert nodded in agreement to Rudas.
Kahn also nodded: "Okay, then we will go back first and meet up with Lord Sauron."
To be able to achieve the position of captain, Kahn possesses not only strength, but also brains which is very important.
Mind here refers to making the right choices in different circumstances.
You won't get emotional over trivial matters or personal grudges.
This decision was finally implemented with the approval of all five people.
Just when the five of them were about to turn around and leave.
Deep in the small square, a shrill roar swept over.
Hearing this roar, the expressions on Kahn's and others' faces instantly turned ugly.
A group of twenty alien worker bees ran out from the depths of the square.
At the same time, the deacon who had been hanging behind a few people also jumped out.
Compared to the warrior alien, its body was more flexible and firmly blocked the path of the five people.
In just such a short period of time, the other side of the five people was surrounded by alien worker bees running towards them at extremely fast speeds.
Looking at the aliens surrounding them, the five people slowly formed a circle, back to back.
Faced with the choice between Deacon and Worker Bee, Kahn took the initiative to choose the more powerful Deacon.
The relatively weak and easier-to-deal with worker bee aliens were left to others.
Faced with this group of evil spirits who were like crawling out of hell, as the most powerful person among the five, Kahn naturally stood up.
The moment the deacon took action, the alien worker bee on the other end also started to move.
Like bloodthirsty and crazy wild-maned dogs, they rushed towards the five people.
