The short muffled sound did not alert the other soldiers, and Lu Xiao carefully pulled the body whose mouth he had covered into the shadows.
Facts have proved that the information provided by Orin is correct.
There were indeed no Eclipse cultists in Liufeng Castle, and Lu Xiao assassinated more than a dozen soldiers without being discovered.
If Focus had been responsible for scanning and monitoring, the soldiers in the fortress should have discovered the strange situation of the life signs of their companions disappearing one after another.
Infiltration was only a means, not an end. Lu Xiao did not indulge in the pleasure of assassination. He consciously adjusted his direction and specifically passed by the prison where the prisoners and Li Li were being held.
Lu Xiao had already seen the portraits of Ou Lin and his wife and children at his residence, and he could confirm the situation with a quick scan inside the prison.
After searching the exposed prison cells, Lu Xiao found no whereabouts of Olin's wife and children.
The slaves who were imprisoned in the open air were poorly treated. During the day, they often struggled to survive under the scorching sun.
Calgar, the shadow of Flowing Wind Castle, would only give them the water and food needed to sustain their lives and perform the minimum activities. Those who couldn't bear it would ask the soldiers to participate in a duel.
As long as they can defeat their opponents, the slaves can obtain a relatively relaxed detention environment and wait to go to Sunset Castle to participate in the final arena battle.
'It's just like raising gu...'
Most slaves who survive desperate situations have strong willpower. When their lives are threatened, these people will burst out with unprecedented courage and fighting power, making the battle between humans and mechanical beasts even more exciting.
Orin's wife and children are still useful, and Shadow Calgar did not imprison them in the slave quarters.
After assassinating several more soldiers blocking the road, Lu Xiao found two life reactions in a single-story hut, one large and one small.
After looking through the window and confirming that the middle-aged woman with a sad face was Ou Lin's wife, Lu Xiao did not start the rescue operation rashly.
First, he communicated with Olin's wife by gesturing through the window, telling her not to make too much noise later.
The middle-aged woman seemed to have guessed something, and her expression became a little excited, but she still managed to suppress her emotions and waited silently with the child who had fallen asleep in her arms.
With eagle vision scanning the entire camp, Lu Xiao first planned the best route for evacuation.
If Lu Xiao was alone, he could escape from this heavily defended fortress without any hindrance, but it would be different if he followed two oil bottles.
Two soldiers from Shadow Calgar were guarding the door of this separate cell. Perhaps because of the recent bad news coming from Sunset Castle, the soldiers in Liufeng Castle were a little nervous.
However, human concentration has its limits. Lu Xiao deliberately chose three o'clock in the morning when he was most likely to get sleepy to start sneaking in. The soldiers who had been nervous for several hours could no longer hold on.
Climbing to the top of the small bungalow from the side, Lu Xiao jumped from the roof while the two soldiers were distracted and dozing off. At the same time, the hidden sword that popped up pierced the necks of the two men.
"Qiang~"
The Uru Hidden Sword easily cut the lock on the cell door, and Lu Xiao threw the two corpses in first.
Olin's wife has a good psychological quality, and the sudden throwing of two corpses into the room did not make her scream.
Lu Xiao did not waste time talking to her too much, but simply mentioned that he was entrusted by Ou Lin to rescue them.
Being a mother makes you strong, but Ou Lin's wife, who is weak in constitution, carried her son on her back and followed Lu Xiao. She followed Lu Xiao's instructions along the way and her movements went smoothly until she reached the city gate.
"Hmm~"
The bumps during exercise woke up Olin's son. He was confused and confused about his current state, and said to his mother blankly: "Mom, I want to pee."
"Shh!"
Under his mother's soft soothing voice, the little boy quickly fell asleep again without alerting the surrounding soldiers.
The middle-aged woman was startled into a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed her head to Lu Xiao and apologized.
Lu Xiao had already thought of the unexpected situation that might happen when leaving, and activated a small-scale silent barrier when the child made a hazy sound.
Returning to the city wall, Lu Xiao wrapped the two of them with the magic floating cloak. While jumping off the city wall, he ordered the magic floating cloak to slowly float down from the air.
Although Lu Xiao tried his best to cover up, the smell of blood left by the dead would still arouse the vigilance of elite border soldiers.
At the same time that the three people escaped from the fortress, there was a sudden loud noise like an explosion inside the fortress.
"Let's go! Orin is behind that big rock. You go and meet him first. Don't worry about what happens behind you."
The soldiers discovered Lu Xiao's purpose of infiltrating by following the blood stains, and quickly determined the three people's escape route through reverse tracking.
"fire!"
A disheveled Shadow General Calgar stood angrily on the city wall and ordered loudly: "We can't let the enemy escape! If you don't want to be thrown into the arena by Lord Siris, stop them!"
According to the intelligence provided by Yavid and Mallard, Siris was very cruel.
His humanity seems to have completely surrendered to wild nature, and he is unable to feel pleasure from an ordinary and peaceful life. Only in troubled times and war can he have a real sense of being alive.
A series of decisions made by Jilong after his madness were in line with Sirius's antisocial personality. Sirius hit it off with the ambitious Bahawa, using the crazy Jilong as a puppet, and at the same time provoked conflicts between the Kingdom of Karga and multiple tribes.
war.
The Mad King was overthrown and peace was restored in Meridian City. Sirius, who was dissatisfied with this, accepted Bahawa's invitation without hesitation and followed him to kidnap the queen and the little prince Itamen and flee to the Sunset Castle to continue his work of disrupting the world.
plan.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The continuous-fire city defense cannon on the city wall was sold to Shadow Calgar by the Oseland warlord Delvar. It is very powerful and can fire more than a dozen small cannonballs in just one second.
The only drawback of this continuous-fire cannon is that its accuracy is not very good. The first round of shots that were not calibrated exploded one after another in the desert dozens of meters away from Lu Xiao.
"That's it?"
He pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword from his waist and started to fight back. The sharp sword energy flew diagonally from above the city wall with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Several artillerymen who could not dodge were cut in half by the sword energy.
"Boom!"
The accuracy of the second round of shelling was much improved. Lu Xiao relied on predicting the impact point of the shells in advance to avoid them, dancing in the aftermath of the explosion like a butterfly through a flower.
After confirming through Eagle Vision that Olin was reunited with his wife and children, Lu Xiao no longer wasted time, turned around and sprinted towards where the two were hiding.
Shadow Calgar's general shouted reluctantly: "Don't let him go! Cavalry! Go out of the city and pursue him."
Lu Xiao took a few long strides back behind the boulder. Without any further explanation, Lu Xiao opened the portal to Olin's mansion in Ziwu City with a wave of his hand.
"Go in! If you have anything to say, leave here before you leave!"
When Shadow Calgar's precious cavalry team chased behind the big stone to check the situation, the four of them had long since disappeared, leaving only the furious General of Liufeng Castle cursing wildly.
Being sneaked into a well-defended fortress without anyone noticing and rescuing people, it was foreseeable that this general's future would never be bright.
"Whoa!"
Stumbling out of the portal, Orin and his wife looked at the surrounding scenes in disbelief.
"This is...our home?"
"That's right."
Lu Xiao patted the dust on his body from the aftermath of the explosion: "Congratulations on returning to your sweet home."
"Olin, you have a good rest first. I will come back to you at noon tomorrow. Then you must tell me the information about the Eclipse Cult and Shadow Calga."
"Ah~ right."
Before leaving, Lu Xiao pointed to the broken door lock on the door of Ou Lin's mansion and said jokingly: "Remember to change the door lock. I was a little rough when I entered your house to look for clues last time. Please forgive me."
