The Castle of the Lords of Frontier Town was not originally built on its current location.

At first, when the foundation of the stone wall was laid, it encountered an underground karst cave, and the ground suddenly collapsed, so it had to be moved.

Most of the waterways that have been dug have been destroyed in the collapse, and even if they are intact, they have been abandoned due to relocation.

As a young man, Brian used to drill through these tunnels, and one day he stumbled upon a route that led from an abandoned well to a well in the castle garden. Brian told his father the news, only to be hung up and beaten severely. His father told him that trespassing on the castle was a capital offense, and that if he was discovered, he would only have to go to the gallows.

Frightened, Brian naturally didn't walk the waterway again, but when everyone got together to drink and chat, he boasted more than once that he had the ability to go straight to the castle. Now he regrets it so much.

In addition to the gray dog, there were nine people in the group. In other words, the entire patrol was persuaded by Scar - to be able to do things for the master of the western realm of the kingdom, Duke Lane, and with such a rich reward, I don't think many people could withstand such a temptation.

The abandoned well was where it first collapsed and is still a wasteland. Brian was scarred with a sword against him and caught in the middle of the team and went down the well. The waterway, which was wide when I was a child, is now very narrow. Due to the perennial lack of traffic and the diversion of the water, vines have grown in many places in the cave.

The guy who stabbed the greyhound to death walked in front with a torch, and he held a short-handled axe to clear the obstacles.

Brian pretended to remember the road, but in his heart he was thinking about a way to get out.

Obviously, in such a place where mobility is extremely inconvenient, there is no possibility of him escaping. Only when you get to the castle can you get a chance. What should I do when the time comes? Shout twice to attract His Highness's personal guards? No, no...... Then Scar only needs to raise his hand to finish himself, and he must first close the distance, otherwise he will end up like a greyhound.

Thinking of the greyhound, Brian's eyes dimmed a little.

He and himself lived here before the border town was established, and the two of them played almost from childhood to adulthood, and it was Brian's idea to join the patrol together. Unexpectedly, he, like himself, was elected as the captain of the patrol.

Brian had been happy for him for a long time, and Greyhound had been despised for his stammering. Now, he's finally getting a chance to be recognized—at least that's what Brian thought.

But when Greyhound falls, Bryan grows at Scar, but Scar tells him sarcastically why everyone recommended him and Greyhound to be captained.

"Fool, the patrol captain is going to stay until the Demon Moon and light a beacon fire to call the police. If you don't let you do it, do you want Lao Tzu to take this risk?"

The words pierced Brian's heart like a sharp blade.

It turns out that those humility ...... Those congratulations are all hypocritical illusions, and the real reason is so ugly. He looked shocked and desperate to hide the anger surging in his heart. It's unforgivable, Brian gritted his teeth secretly, someone has to pay for it!

After about half an hour of walking through the dry underground waterways, everyone finally heard the sound of the water flowing.

This means that they are not far from their destination.

After turning a corner, the front was suddenly much more cheerful, and there was room for two people to stand side by side. The man at the head of the line said, "There's no road ahead, it's a shaft." ”

"What's going on?" Scar asked, slamming his sword against it.

"Tell him to look up," Brian said in a deep voice, "we're there." ”

This abandoned waterway was connected right in the middle of the well in the castle's backyard, and it was probably overlooked during the renovation that did not seal the connection. The fierce scar pressed against the wall of the well and looked out, three feet under his feet was rushing water, and a small circle of night sky could be seen above his head.

He asked Brian to look at him, and he pulled the bundle of rope out of his backpack, tied the hook, and gently threw it up. With a bang, the hook snapped firmly onto the edge of the wellhead.

Scar climbed out cautiously along the rope. Soon, he tugged at the rope on it, motioning for everyone behind him to follow.

It took a long time for the group to climb out of the well. The castle, which used to be only visible from afar, now stands in front of them.

Scar grabbed Brian and whispered, "Hurry up and take us to the warehouse." ”

Brian had only been here once, and although he remembered the castle in his memory, he quietly led the crowd to unlock the door of the wooden door closest to the well and enter the castle.

By this time most of the people in the castle had fallen asleep, the oil lamps hanging on the walls of the aisles had been extinguished, and in the darkness where no fingers could be seen, someone in the procession had lit a fire. The faint glow of the fire could only illuminate a few feet of the radius, and Brian knew the opportunity he had been waiting for.

When the team reached a fork in the road that led to the basement, he lunged at the staircase that stretched downward. The man who was guarding Brian's side had been watching his movements, but the leap was too fast for him to react before the man snorted and was knocked down and rolled down.

Falling down the stairs, the two of them instantly broke away from the range of the fire refraction and disappeared into the darkness.

"Damn, damn it!" Scar immediately drew his dagger and chased after him. He thought that Brian would use the darkness to play hide and seek with him, but he didn't expect that the other party did not run away, but stood quietly at the bottom of the stairs, as if waiting for him.

Scar notices that the accomplice who was knocked down is lying motionless on the ground. And it was the man's weapon that Brian was holding in his hand.

"Idiot, do you think you'll have a chance of winning?" Scar kept his guard stance, waiting for everyone else to come down before snapping out, "There are seven of us left, and you're only one." ”

Brian didn't answer, he didn't need to suppress his anger anymore. Raising his sword and slashing diagonally, he slashed at the blade of the fierce scar with lightning speed, and sparks burst out. Without waiting for the other party to take the next pose, his straight stab had already sent the tip of the sword into Scar's shoulder!

Scar roared in pain and fell backwards, and another man stepped forward, blocking Brian's pursuit.

It's a great place to take on the shots, and the narrow aisles don't allow the opponent to take advantage of the crowds. He only had to stand in the middle of the aisle and face the enemy head-on, and there was nothing he could do about it—there was no room for two people to swing their weapons side by side.

When it comes to swordsmanship, Brian is confident that he will not lose to anyone in the patrol.

While this group of scum was lazy, gambling, and indulging in bars, he was still honing his fighting skills, regardless of the weather, rain and snow, and for years - which is why he did not choose to shout for help immediately.

He wants to avenge the greyhound with his own hands.
