Hearing Alistair say, 'Lionheart Kingdom might not be Lionheart Kingdom anymore', Li Ang had a clear understanding.
"So, this matter has something to do with the Bacchus Empire? As far as I know, only Barkley will grant the right of first night to the lord who is willing to transfer to the cross-sea enclave..."
Li Ang's eyes no longer looked around, and he saw a faint shadow in a room behind Alistair.
It was a dilapidated house with no windows, and the light inside the door was extremely poor. The figure was somewhat hidden inside the door, but you could vaguely see what gestures he was making.
And that figure seemed familiar.
The lord did not stare at the house all the time. He turned around and looked at the other Twilight Knight--fortunately, they all wore full-coverage devil horn helmets, which only left a gap forward for the eyes--the line of sight was definitely not good, and no one should have noticed it.
"Count Li Ang, you will know the specific reason when you come back to Lion City with me... In fact, we really don't want to hurt you. To be precise, we prefer you to join the organization - we are even willing to let you become Knight Commander of Dusk Knight Order!"
Alistair seemed unwilling to say anything more, but pointed at the sword in Li Ang's hand and motioned for Li Ang to put it down.
Li Ang nodded. "In that case, you should at least tell me, who is Grand Commander of Dusk Knight Order? Who will be my immediate boss in the future?"
"Actually, you know him... but for his safety, I can't tell you now. Count Li Ang, we will not abuse you, and we have even prepared treatment for you that is consistent with your status."
Seeing that Li Ang seemed to have no intention of resisting, Alistair smiled and waved his hand, "Of course, this is just to prevent you from hurting us or yourself - we all know your strong fighting power."
As Alistair waved, another Twilight Knight came forward with a shackle and gestured to Li Ang.
The shackles were exquisitely made, and the inner layer was covered with leather. They seemed to be the most humane treatment for prisoners - at least they were considered to not scratch Li Ang's wrists.
So Li Ang sighed and nodded, "Okay, I can go with you... But where are you going to take me now? This city is full of my troops..."
The lord even bowed and put the sword on the ground, turned his back to Alistair, and put his hands behind his back, as if he was about to take the initiative to bind him.
Wendy and Jocelyn did not expect that Li Ang would make such a surrender-like action. They turned around and looked at Li Ang in horror.
But they saw a look in Li Ang's eyes.
The lord's eyes glanced at the windowless house.
The location of that house is right behind Alistair.
Just when Twilight Knight stepped forward and was about to fasten the shackles on Li Ang's wrists, Wendy suddenly put a hand on Li Ang's shoulder, and took advantage of his hands and feet at the same time to fly up!
And Li Ang also stood up suddenly, put both hands on Wendy's feet, and threw Wendy over his head, towards the position of Alistair!
"Ahhh!"
At the same time, Jocelyn suddenly roared like a mad cow and launched a charge, rushing straight towards Alistair, even completely ignoring the two Twilight Knight who were about to intercept with their swords hastily.
Twilight Knight, who was behind Li Ang, still had shackles in his hand, and when he saw something was wrong, he was about to draw his sword, but Li Ang kicked him to the ground, then rolled over and grabbed his sword from the ground.
Then, without stopping, he swooped down with his sword and slashed towards Alistair.
This was when Li Ang was already at a loss, and it was also when Alistair and Twilight Knight had just relaxed.
The other Twilight Knight around were just on guard against Li Ang's sudden escape - Li Ang's back was to Alistair. Who would have thought that his target was still Alistair?
So, Wendy in the sky, Li Ang on the ground, and Jocelyn--Alistair swooped in from the middle faced a combined attack from three people, and it happened when he didn't expect it at all.
This is high-standard treatment, and it is for a person who was shot in the arm...
Alistair reacted very quickly. He was stunned for only half a second, and then immediately started to retreat in a hurry - his arm was injured, so he definitely couldn't fight. He couldn't beat any of these three people now.
But it's too late...
The other Twilight Knight's reaction was a little slower for a second. When they came to their senses, Wendy had already 'flyed' to the top of Alistair's head.
She still used a straight forward somersault before landing, and while she was in an inverted state in the air, she volleyed again with a stunning sword, targeting Alistair's neck - just like she did when she killed Castro.
However, this sword failed to kill Alistair.
In fact, Alistair did not block Wendy's sword, but Twilight Knight was very lucky - he tripped when he hurriedly retreated, and was very lucky to avoid Wendy's stunt.
When Alistair fell on his back, he saw Wendy flying over his head, and Wendy's sword almost passed by the tip of his nose.
This obviously scared him a lot, so he subconsciously twisted his waist to dodge while falling down - in fact, it was only then that he realized that he had to dodge this sword...
Sometimes it may not be considered lucky if you are not killed by a sword...
Because Li Ang, who was leaning against the ground, also struck out with a sword at this time - the lord couldn't hold back his hand.
Originally, the lord's sword was meant to cut off the legs. After all, it was a ground sword.
But Alistair was in the process of falling to the ground, and even half-twisted his body. As a result, the sword struck Alistair firmly in the crotch...
"Aww!"
"Boom..."
Alistair A sharp scream and a dull sound of landing sounded one after another.
Then, a large amount of blood spurted out from between his legs...
Twilight Knight armor has turned into crotchless pants, which looks very neat. The opening is indeed in the middle, quite symmetrical.
At this time, Jocelyn had also rushed over. He braked suddenly and took a breath of cold air - this scene was too tragic. Alistair would obviously not die, but he would definitely not be able to enjoy any first night rights in the future, and he would not be able to touch fat girls...
The lord's sword has probably split his crime tool in two...
In fact, all the other Twilight Knights were also stunned, and some even glanced at a certain part of themselves.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
But the battle did not end because of this, the other Twilight Knight finally reacted and started chasing him.
It's just that they all seem to have their shields covering their lower bodies...
Look at this, although Alistair is the leader of these Twilight Knight, the other Twilight Knight will not stop because of him.
It seems that Dusk Knight Order's mission this time is much more important than the leader's life.
The crisis facing Li Ang has not been resolved.
However, fortunately, the Lord did not just want to capture Alistair.
After all, it is amazing that three people move together in the sky and on the ground. The dark shadow in the house behind Alistair must also notice the actions of Li Ang and others.
He did start to cooperate.
In that house, a figure of Xingar appeared and began to shoot arrows.
That's Ediz.
In the two or three seconds from when Wendy took off to when Alistair fell, Ediz had already shot at least five feather arrows in succession, and each arrow accurately drove back a Twilight Knight who was chasing Li Ang and others.
Although Twilight Knight's armor is quite thick and may not cause too much damage when shot, Ediz's arrows are all aimed at the face - the shields in the hands of Twilight Knight are held relatively low, and their heads are completely exposed...
This ultra-fast rapid fire is not very powerful and cannot actually cause effective damage, but the oncoming arrows will always make people subconsciously avoid them. Ediz bought more time for the lord.
Perhaps this time is only two seconds, but it is enough for the agile Wendy.
As soon as she landed, she made another agile swoop like a civet cat, pounced directly into the dark house, and started shooting arrows outside.
Noldo arrows is not just about scratching an itch, it's really about killing someone.
Ediz rapid fire, Wendy point kill, which gave Li Ang more time and space. The lord also rolled from the ground into the house, and even had time to drag in Alistair who collapsed on the ground.
After Jocelyn rushed over, he used himself as a shield to stop several Twilight Knight who were chasing after him.
The two layers of heavy armor on his body finally had a positive effect at this time, but Jocelyn still suffered a sword wound... on his butt.
Ediz once again showed extremely fast reaction at this time. He did not perform rapid fire again, but flew out of the angle and shot an arrow from the side to knock over the last Twilight Knight who was chasing Jocelyn.
Ediz's archery skills are definitely not as good as Wendy's, but this arrow was very timely, because the Twilight Knight he shot over was the one who slapped Jocelyn on the butt.
If Ediz hadn't taken action in time, Jocelyn would probably have been hit with another sword weight - that Twilight Knight had already raised the sword to the back of Jocelyn.
Afterwards, Li Ang dragged Jocelyn into the house, and Ediz pushed down a lot of debris to temporarily seal them in. Only then did the few people breathe a sigh of relief.
This house is quite dark, very different from ordinary houses, and is full of stench.
Because there are two large cesspits inside - this is the warehouse where excrement is stored in the city, often called the 'treasury'...
Yes, no doubt, that's the name.
The place where dinars and gold are stored is generally called a 'treasury'; the place where shit is stored is called a 'treasury'...
Big cities in this era had such cesspit warehouses. On the one hand, this was because the sewer systems in most cities were imperfect these days. All kinds of feces produced in the city were usually collected in such warehouses and then loaded onto trucks and transported out of the city.
On the other hand, excrement is a powerful weapon for defending the city, and some will be kept in the city for military needs.
"Lord Li Ang..."
Ediz said hello to the lord, but was stopped by Li Ang before he could speak.
"Ediz, if you have anything to say, please leave here before we leave. The debris at the door can only block them for a minute or two at most..."
The lord will not waste time by chatting at this time. He used to talk to Alistair just to gain time and opportunities, but now, he cannot waste the opportunity to escape.
Villains die from talking too much, and decent people die from gossiping. Li Ang doesn't know whether he is a decent person or a villain, but he doesn't want to die anyway.
"From here you can directly access the secret door in the west of the city - I originally wanted to escape from here. This is the passage used to transport feces out of the city."
Ediz didn't hesitate and pointed to a dark alley inside the house.
This is probably a road specially opened for dung trucks. It should be connected and supplemented by the original outer walls between the houses, and a one-way road is specially separated. It seems that it will lead to the outside of the city along part of the city wall.
When transporting manure out of the city, you generally do not use the streets, otherwise the streets will stink, which will cause the dignitaries to be in a bad mood, and will also cause a large number of flies and maggots to be infested.
There were a lot of maggots in that dark alley, and there was a lot of feces scattered in it. In addition, there were no side roads to get in. Naturally, no one would stay in such an environment.
Moreover, Ediz also got a dung truck in the 'vault' - if it weren't for Brigi guarding the secret door all night, Ediz would have used the dung truck to escape Toba City after completing the jailbreak in the early morning.
"It seems that my three thousand dinars were well spent..."
Li Ang patted Ediz on the shoulder, stepped directly into the alley that didn't smell very good, got on the dung truck, and loaded Alistair, who was still moaning in pain, into the dung truck.
As long as you can escape, there should be no enemies outside the secret door. There should be at most three or five gatekeepers.
Li Ang's troops actually have the upper hand in the city. Brigi and Dusk Knight Order's troops can only hold on to this street for a while.
Moreover, the city gate is also under the control of Li Ang's troops. As long as they can leave this street, it won't take too much time to circle back from outside the city. Therefore, Li Ang did not hesitate to signal everyone to get on the carriage, and the carriage began to rush through the dung cart passage.
The end of the alley is indeed a secret door, and there are indeed several Dusk Slaves guarding the door.
If Ediz was alone, it might be more difficult to get out. But now that Li Ang and Wendy are here, those Twilight Slaves basically failed to pose any obstacle.
At this time, Dusk Knight Order had already broken through the door of the 'treasury', and they also discovered the passage for the dung truck, but they were all on foot, so they would definitely not be able to catch up.
However, they did not hesitate to start running in the passage - this was no longer to chase Li Ang, they themselves had to run for their lives!
Li Ang's army is all in the city, and Brigi is resisting it on the streets, but it certainly won't be able to hold them back for long.
Perhaps, Dusk Knight Order knew that there was this passage here. After all, they would act here. If they wanted to capture Li Ang alive, they would naturally have to consider ways to escape.
Previously, Brigi tried to lure Li Ang into the city through the secret door, obviously because of this mission of Dusk Knight Order.
But when Dusk Knight Order's people escaped from the passage, they didn't say hello to Brigi at all. Brigi also led Omen Seeker to resist Li Ang's army in the streets.
Of course, this is also because Brigi's troops are all drug addicts. They have stopped taking drugs for several days and have not rested since last night. They no longer have much ability to execute tactics. They probably don't even know what retreat is, they only know how to fight like crazy.
Half an hour later.
When Li Ang reentered Toba City with a carriage, the battle in this city was over - Brigi's troops were overwhelmed by the army, and Kloze took Silver Hand to control the situation in the city.
But Brigi disappeared, and Kloze failed to find him - he probably escaped through the secret door.
So Li Ang's first order after returning to the city was to send troops to search outside the city and pursue Brigi and Dusk Knight Order.
However, this kind of search is not easy to produce results. After all, we don't know the direction in which they fled.
But it doesn't matter, Li Ang has Alistair in his hand, this guy must know a lot of information...
