On the Seven Towers

After passing the checkpoint, Bella asked: "What would have happened if I hadn't bribed the officer just now?"

"That's not bribery, that's intimidation. The result is not simple, the thugs will take action and level the level. If it doesn't work, the boss will take action, and then this small level will probably collapse." Gallo said.

Bella was not in the mood to joke with him: "That means they will take action and try to catch us, right?"

"Looking at that posture, he should take action. I saw the officer's movements. His hand never left the hilt of the sword, and he looked like he was ready to pounce at any time." Gallo said.

"Then what will happen if we are not strong enough and we are caught by them?" Bella asked.

"Is he being locked up?" Gawain said.

"It's impossible." Gallo shook his head and said, "If you really arrest them, do you still have to take care of the food? Judging from the behavior of these people, they probably arrest a lot of people these days. If they really want to hide something, those people point out There is a possibility of being silenced.”

Mo Yu said: "No matter what the use of these slaves are, they should be used for whatever purpose. Those strong adventurers are more useful, aren't they?"

"As expected of the boss, what he said is really reasonable. Maybe those people will be imprisoned to the destination of these slaves." Gallo said, "The lives of those adventurers are very humble. Even if they have some strength, in the eyes of the nobles, , they are still like ants. And there are so few people like this that they don’t even attract much attention. I don’t know how many adventurers die on various adventures every year.”

Bella said: "So will they also be captured and used as slaves to make up for their numbers?"

They moved forward quickly and caught up with the team in front of them. Sure enough, after walking for more than a kilometer, the slave caravan changed direction and turned eastward at a fork in the road.

After walking about two kilometers further east, in the dark night ahead, a ray of light appeared. It was a large town. The town is surrounded by a high wall made of earth and stone. There are even taller watchtowers on the corners of the high wall. It is not clear what is inside, but you can see many people patrolling the top of the wall. The security was very tight.

"It feels very strange that such a fortress appears here." Gallo said while looking at the town. "Although I am not familiar with the terrain of the kingdom, it feels very strange to have such a well-defended fortress in such a remote mountain wilderness. That's strange. Don't you think this kind of defense is about to catch up with Silver Sand City? But Silver Sand City is the surrounding trade hub. Why does this poor place in the ravine need such a fortress? This is obviously the direction of the slave caravan. Do they need such a fortress to hold slaves?"

Mo Yu said: "We need to sneak in and take a look."

"Boss? This place looks difficult to deal with."

Mo Yu said: "No matter what the people of the Kingdom are doing, it has something to do with the Tower of China. Don't forget, they are now deliberately trying to get back the lost territory. So since they are here, let's find out."

"Boss? Fight in, or sneak in?"

"Am I such a rough person?" Mo Yu smiled: "Of course I have to hide first, and then kill if I can't get in."

Barron regretted more and more that he took the job of escorting slaves. The territory he originally set out from was relatively far away, and time was still so tight. It took him half a month to rush him on the road. Today, he met someone inexplicably. A group of ridiculously strong men brought down his men and killed two of them.

After stepping into the kingdom's territory, the strange atmosphere around him also made him feel bad. Both the level just now and the destination ahead were weird. He knew that the less he knew about this kind of mission, the better. However, the feeling of being completely confused made him very uneasy.

But fortunately, if you walk a little further, you can reach the strange fortress. He decided to leave here as soon as the goods were delivered and paid, and returned to the empire overnight.

It's just that these slaves in front of me are already tired and walking slower and slower. Do you want to give them a few whips?

As soon as he raised the whip in his hand, someone grabbed him and made him unable to whip it.

A voice rang in my ears: "It seems you haven't learned enough lessons."

Barron turned around and almost peeed in shock. The man holding his whip was the man who was questioning him. And several other people also gathered around him at some point.

Barron hurriedly loosened his whip and said: "Everyone, my lords, I'm just a little anxious. It's getting dark quickly. Many of these guys are blind at night. I have to hurry up. I don't know if you lords are still looking for me." What's the matter?"

"What's your name?" Gallo asked.

"Barron."

Gallo patted his face and said, "Okay. From now on, I am Barron, and you are my follower. If you don't cooperate, you don't have to think about returning to the empire. Do you understand?"

"My lord, do you want to sneak into that fortress?" Barron said in horror.

"yes."

"But it's really not a good place. I followed the army to the kingdom and even went deeper. However, I have never heard of such a fortress here. Don't you think it's strange that such a fortress appears? , It looks like the guards are so tight from a distance, it will definitely be dangerous to sneak in. "

"That's why I want to go in. Tell me who sent you here and how you will hand over to them later. Don't try to play any tricks. You will stay by my side all the time. This will happen if you don't obey." Gallo's fighting spirit swept across the whip, and the whip suddenly broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

Baron knew he couldn't resist, so he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, sir."

Gallo dressed Baron as his adjutant, and Mo Yu, Bella and Ze Gaowen played the three guards. They covered their bodies with wide robes. Mixed in the team, they were not too noticeable.

The firelight at night looked very close, but it took a long time to walk. They walked for nearly two hours before they really came to the fortress.

The nearby fortress looked particularly tall. Gallo judged that the wall was at least more than ten meters high. Although there was no moat, there would be a soldier standing every four or five meters on the wall, which was much more stringent than the defense of most towns on the mainland.

The people on the fortress also saw them from afar. When they were about to reach the city, the gate of the fortress opened. A team of thirty or forty knights rushed out on horseback. They surrounded the slave team from behind, as if to check if there were any problems.

When Gallo saw these knights, his eyes condensed. These were actually knights from the Temple of Nature!
