Chapter 486: Prison Robbery 6
The mansion of the city lord in Lulian City was still brightly lit even late at night.

In name, it was a masquerade ball, but those who were really invited knew that it was not a ball.Because this dance party did not bring a female partner.What ball is there without a woman?A group of men dancing face-to-face?
The venue is not a hall, but a small room in the city lord's mansion.It's not huge, but it's roomy for a dozen people.Armed soldiers guard the door to ensure that no one disturbs the secret gathering.

In the middle of the room stood a large mirror.At this moment, all the lights in the room were extinguished, and the originally bright room was instantly darkened, only this mirror exuded a faint magical radiance in the darkness.

Everyone in the meeting wore masks—plus dim light.As long as you don't speak, you can't recognize who is who from each other.

Of course, the master is an exception.

The mirror is magically reflecting a scene somewhere in the distance.In the middle of the night, the two guards at the gate of the prison had just been brought down—they were attacked from behind and knocked down without any precautions.It's normal to do mental calculation without intention.

"Okay, everyone, a group of robbers has already started. Look at their numbers... 1, 2, 3... There are 16 people in total. They are a strong group of robbers, aren't they?" said the owner of the mansion, Lulian City. Count Gellert came to the mirror.I introduce it to everyone.The picture in the mirror changed immediately, and became the scene inside the dungeon.Torches were lit high on either side, and the aisles were empty.

"Okay, the robbers successfully knocked down the sentinels on duty outside and invaded the interior of Lulian City Prison. They are undoubtedly here to rescue some of their accomplices. So, since they have come, our gambling game begins."

"This aisle is the first difficulty that the robbers will face. I will take this time to introduce a little. The two sides of this aisle are actually sandwiched walls, and there are five soldiers ambushing in each of the two sides. The soldiers inside the wall can be very fast. It is easy to stab the robbers who pass by here with a spear... Now the question is, how many of the sixteen robbers will fall in this level? Please place your bets. In order to prevent everyone from missing the more exciting later, the first Everyone has a fixed bet of 500 gold coins in a round."

"Five!" "Three!" "Half, that is, eight!" Everyone was very excited, and this kind of scene is rare.

In the crowd, there was a voice: "0." This voice attracted the attention of many people, and some whispered.

"Hey, guest, this possibility is unlikely."

"I made a bet." The man said calmly.

In the picture, the invading robbers have already rushed into the prison.They were not fast and seemed a little cautious, but they still quickly approached the ambush wall.

"Is there no patrolling soldier?" Alicia breathed a sigh of relief.It's midnight, and it's understandable that the interior of the dungeon is a little loose. "Don't come in, you go outside and summon something first, just in case reinforcements come in. The others come with me!"

They walked a little way forward.In front is the first trap that Zhang Cheng said, the wall.

However, because they thought the security was lax, everyone didn't think there was any danger here.

"Wait," Zhang Cheng reached out to block Alicia. "Didn't you notice that there seemed to be breathing in the front wall?"

"Breathing sound? Are there soldiers inside?" Someone questioned.

"Yes, and it's the sound of tense breathing." Zhang Cheng said.Although everyone had some doubts about his hearing, they couldn't directly deny it. "It seems that they have already prepared."

"What should I do then?" Someone asked.If there are soldiers guarding the back, it will be difficult to pass from here.Those who wear armor are fine, those without armor or light armor are easily killed by spears.

"Simple." Zhang Cheng took a step forward, took out something from the dimension pocket at a distance, and threw it into a gap left for the convenience of assassination.Lost one on each side.

After throwing it out, he quickly took a few steps back.

With a bang, huge energy lifted the sandwich wall from the inside.When the smoke dissipated, the walls on both sides of the passage had completely collapsed, and the wounded soldiers lay between the ruined walls, bloody and bloody.

"What is this?" Someone asked in surprise.

"Grenade." Zhang Cheng took out a signal for everyone to see.It was a rough tin can, wrapped in rags. "It's stuffed with gunpowder, and it explodes a few seconds after you throw it out."

In this world, muskets have just appeared, and grenades have not yet been invented—but grenades themselves have no technological content, which is something everyone can understand.Everyone knows that gunpowder explodes when ignited.

But what exactly Zhang Cheng threw in - whether it was made of black powder from this world, or military supplies from the earth, that's another matter.Anyway, the outside is wrapped in cloth strips, so no one can see what's inside.

For everyone at this moment, they absolutely have no curiosity to pursue this matter in depth.

Everything makes sense—it seems to make sense, so be it.

"How did you do this?" Alicia came to Zhang Cheng and asked.

"I have to prepare something!" Zhang Cheng replied indifferently.

In the narrow space between the walls, the explosion can exert the most terrifying power, and the ten soldiers hiding in it were either killed or injured.But at least half are still panting.

"What about...?" Someone hesitated.

"Kill it." Zhang Cheng said.He casually snatched a crossbow from the hand of the person beside him.At the sound of the bowstring, the arrow pierced through the brain, and the man immediately stopped moving. "It's a kind of mercy."

Shards of shattered walls and shrapnel from grenades do too much damage to be alive.And the number of healers in this city is estimated to be less than a palm.They have absolutely no chance of getting treatment.

And with the technical level of this world, they don't understand surgical debridement at all.

To the distant mirror, the master of the meeting is already introducing the second trap.

This trap can be called a rat cage.

On the front is a wall cart that can be pushed out, blocking the aisle, equipped with twelve guards holding long-range weapons such as muskets and crossbows.This is simply a city wall.

At the rear there is a gate.The gate is lifted up by a turntable on the side, but if the sling is cut off, it will not work for a while.

Once the sling is down, the gate is an impassable obstacle—even with enough manpower, it still takes a lot of time to open it.

At the moment, there are no guards at the gate.It seems that it just needs to pass.

But if you ignore the gate and think it is harmless, once the sling is cut, then there will be no way back.

Everyone in the meeting room began to bet. Although the wall was breached just now, everyone didn't think that the wall could stop the group of prison robbers.It is not convenient to assassinate through the wall.This is just a trick, used to weaken the strength of the invaders.

But this trap is very dangerous.

If the front cannot be broken, and the rear is intercepted by the falling gate, it will really become a mouse in a cage.

There is no other tricky way from the front, the only way is to attack desperately from the front.Then even if it is a very strong team, at least half of the sixteen people will be lost.It is possible for all of them to die here.

Even if all the prison robbers are masters of the hero rank, with a wave of crossbows and muskets, and it is a narrow area that cannot be dodged, it is normal to lose three or four people.

"Okay, let's see how many casualties the robbers will have in this layer of trap." The master announced.Everyone can bet, just like last time. "The lower limit is 500 gold coins, but the upper limit"

"Five!" "Eight!" "All destroyed!"

"None will die!" Someone said.People were taken aback, and someone recognized that it was the previous one.This guy is obviously here to make trouble, right?Because as soon as he spoke, everyone felt the clear displeasure on the face of the owner of this place.

Although it was inconvenient to get angry due to the status of host and guest, the displeasure was clearly discernible.

Now Zhang Chengcheng came to the gate.Watch the unguarded gates and turntables.The gate is not thick, but it is made of wrought iron, and its weight is not trivial.Surrounded by solid rock, a stone groove was carved in the rock.The whole structure looks impenetrable.

If it falls, it will be very difficult to push it up manually without the aid of a sling.It takes plenty of time, enough people, and maybe some specialized tools like crowbars.

"There are three guards left here," Alexei said.In order to protect the back road, it must be so.

"No, let's solve this problem!" Zhang Cheng said. "Bring those things over here."

The guards in the wall were eliminated just now, and their spears were also seized-very ordinary spears.Someone handed Zhang Cheng the spear.

Ma Dan, that is, these medieval rigid minds, would come up with such a joke-like trap!

Zhang Cheng took out a roll of rags from his pocket, easily wound the spear head, and then stuffed it into the stone groove, blocking the gate and falling.

Even though this gate weighs hundreds of kilograms or even tons, the friction force is also a terrifying force.

"Okay, you put it down." Zhang Cheng said.Someone nearby twisted the turntable and began to lower the gate.But it couldn't fall down because it was firmly stuck in the stone groove by a few wrapped spears.

The only way to clear the stone trough is to raise the gate again.But this matter was not easy: after confirming that the thing was strong, Zhang Cheng cut off the sling with a sword.

Now the floodgate can no longer be lowered.No matter what happens ahead, you can retreat the same way.

There were boos in the conference hall.The scene in the mirror is very clear. Even if people don't understand the principle of friction, they at least have common sense in life.Everyone realized that it was impossible to close the gates.

The organizer of the party, the owner of this place, has an ugly expression on his face.He originally thought that this was an unsolvable mechanism, at least allowing the intruders to separate their troops to guard it, but it was so easily cracked.

In this way, the prison robbers have no worries.You can kill the whole division to the front.

The scene in the mirror was still going on, the count took advantage of the time when the guests were all focused on the mirror, and turned his head to the side.Here, one of his servants has long been waiting for orders.

"Immediately upload my order for Kesaki to act," he said.

Kesaki, his strongest captain.Currently in the barracks in the city - where most of Earl Gellert's strength is gathered.

There is a barracks in the city, as well as a patrol camp.However, the main manpower of the latter is now mobilized to the lord's mansion.In the barracks is the lord's standing army—the strength is not particularly large, but there are thousands of people.War times are actually rare - but the era of turmoil has only just begun, and wars are far away.In fact, even if the real war started, it would be far away from the front line.The only alien race around Lulian City is the spider man in the chaotic forest.

From the barracks to the prison, it takes no more than 15 minutes to take a shortcut.Keshaqi can completely block the entrance and exit of the prison.In other words, no matter how well these jailbreakers do in prison, the final result will not change in any way.

Moreover, because they knew about this a long time ago, all the staff in the barracks were on standby. Fifteen minutes later, Keshaqi will lead a hundred armed soldiers to seal the exit of the prison.

In fact, there is no need for a hero-level fighter like Keshaqi to appear on the stage, only a team of musketeers and a team of archers are enough to turn any idea of ​​​​breaking out into fantasy.The layout of that dungeon itself is like this.

In the darkness, a troop of soldiers trotted across the street.

They were in neat formation and equipped with complete equipment, and even the friction sound of the steel armor was in the same rhythm.No other evidence is needed, this alone is enough to know that this is definitely a well-trained team.

The leader was a man of medium build, with a long round face, his facial features looked a bit decadent and lazy, but his mouth was large.He didn't wear any armor. His upper body was a sleeveless high-necked shirt and his lower body was a pair of loose trousers.There is no belt around the waist that is common in the local area, but the waist and abdomen are wrapped repeatedly in multiple layers with wide cloth strips.Plus he has no hair - just a long braid at the top of his head, which is rather unusual for a man.This kind of dress makes people know that he is a foreigner at a glance.

The whole team stopped.This is because the leader seems to be unable to tell the direction for a while, because there is an intersection ahead, where five or six streets and alleys converge.

"Captain Kesaki," a soldier said to the leader. "That's right over there. After passing that alley, you will arrive at the prison immediately."

"Is this here?! Okay, let's go!" Keshaqi said immediately.After speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the alley.

The alley was narrow and dark, but he didn't send anyone to investigate, so there was no need to worry.In this city, no one dared to stop them.This confidence was firm in his heart until he saw a figure blocking the middle of the alley in front of him.

The alley is very small, and it is impossible to pass if someone blocks the road.

"This way..." A strange voice came from the shadow. "no entry!"
