Chapter 672: Friends Plot
"Garrot... Garrot..."
It was dark, his consciousness was blurred, and a faint cry sounded in his ears, but his attention continued to collapse, as if he was about to fall into the abyss of darkness.
"Garrot! Wake up! Garrot! ”
A violent shaking sensation came, consciousness gathered little by little, vision turned from darkness to blurred, at first I couldn't see anything clearly, and after a long time of focusing, Solandale's little face full of panic appeared in front of me.
Garrot found himself slumped on the ground, with a splitting headache and weak limbs, he finally managed to see his surroundings clearly, and just wanted to ask what was going on, when he suddenly felt a violent pressure in his throat, and the whole person was lying on the ground uncontrollably and vomiting blood.
"Gow-gh! ...”
The blood that Garrot spat out had a strange stench, and it was almost all clots, and his face was even more bloodless, faintly tinged with blue gray, like a dead man about to step into a coffin.
Solandale was overwhelmed by Garrot's arm, trying to do something, but found that she didn't know what to do or do anything except pat him on the back.
Garrot vomited a large pool of blood, so vomited that he felt like he was about to vomit his lungs out, his body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar inside and out, and then it was as hot as a burning fire, and he collapsed weakly on the edge of the bed, his voice was like a broken brass bell: "What's the matter... What happened..."
Solandale was already frightened, and said with a crying voice: "I don't know! ... You were still talking to me just now, and suddenly your eyes fell to the ground as you spoke, and your mouth and nose kept bleeding, and your whole body was trembling, and I didn't respond to any of the calls I made you... There was a loud noise outside, as if something had exploded, and a lot of people were yelling, but I didn't dare to go out to see it..."
Only then did Garrot realize that there was a boiling crowd outside the house, screaming, crying, and insulting... All kinds of sounds mingled, and the entire frozen fortress looked like a fryer.
"Help me up..."Garrott grabbed Solandelle's shoulders and struggled to get up.
Solandelle was a weak girl, and a big man like Garrot pressed her shoulder, and she only felt that her waist was about to break, but she still gritted her teeth and struggled to help him stand up.
Not long after Garrot stood up, he spat out a mouthful of blood, but fortunately he had some strength left, and he did not fall, he grabbed Solandale, and said in a deep voice: "Follow... Follow me! ”
There is no need for Garrot to remind her, in this situation, with a hundred guts from Solandelle, she will not dare to run around.
Garrot and Solandale walked out of the room, and when they saw what was outside, they were shocked.
I saw a bright "sun" hanging in the night of the frozen fortress, illuminating the night as bright as day, and the barracks were on high ground, so they could see the whole picture of the frozen fortress.
At this time, the frozen fortress was already a beacon fire, and from a high place, the whole city seemed to be burning, and there were noisy shouts of killing from the northern sky, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless, and dense black scorched smoke climbed into the sky like a devil's claw, and the air was filled with the smell of sand, gunsmoke, and blood.
"Something's wrong... It's an enemy attack! Garrot looked to the farthest distance in astonishment, and sure enough, the outer city wall was full of firelight, and the central area that controlled the city gate was burning, and the originally impregnable city gate had been completely opened, and countless tribal warriors of the remnants of the Six Kings rushed in from the outside, like a rolling flood, and its number was chilling.
Looking closer, Solandale's barracks were supposed to be guarded by the royal guards sent by Pertheus, but these people were all slumped to the ground at this time, some were unconscious, and some were lying on the ground spitting black blood, and the blood they spit out was the same as Garrot, exuding a strange smell and congealing into clumps of blood.
Seeing this scene, Garrot suddenly realized that he should be poisoned just like them!
But... How is the poison placed?
Since he came to the Frozen Fortress, he hasn't eaten anything from anyone else except to eat with everyone in the dining hall.
If the poison was in a big pot of rice, Solandelle couldn't be fine, and the source of the poison was obviously somewhere else.
What the hell is going on?!
Garrot staggered forward, grabbed a relatively mild member of the Imperial Guard, and shook his shoulder vigorously: "Before... What did you eat before? Answer me! ”
The imperial guard covered his bleeding mouth and nose and said weakly, "I've only eaten what is in the dining hall... And then... General Larsen came to me for a drink in the middle of the night... I didn't drink it out of discipline ... He said that water should be used instead of wine... I drank the water from his jug..."
"Larsen?!" Suddenly, Garrot's face changed drastically, and then he remembered the glass of wine he had drunk earlier.
Could it be that the poison is inside the wine...
But... Why would Larsen do this?!
That's a good brother who has been friends for decades, why would he do this?!
Garrot gasped, grabbed Solandale's shoulder, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go back to the house and get your weapons, and follow me to Larsen!" ”
"But... If the poison is under Larsen... He's going to continue to harm us—" Solandale couldn't help but feel terrified at the thought of Larsen's face.
Thanks to the special physique of the transcendent, Garrot regained some strength, although he was still very weak, but at least he had the ability to move basically, he dragged Solandel back to the house, took off the giant sword that fought with him, and said with a hideous face: "I'm going to confront Larsen face to face, if it's really him..."
"Confronting what?" Suddenly, Larsen's voice rang out outside the door.
The two of them looked over in a daze, only to see that Larsen had come here at some point, and he ran into the house quickly, looked at Garrot and asked in amazement, "The gods are above... What's going on with you?! ”
Larsen's concerned face confused Garrot about the situation, he was silent for a while, frowned and asked, "You poisoned my wine?" ”
"What ??? I" Larsen looked stunned and yelled, "Are you kid crazy?!" What poison am I giving you?! The barbarian launched a night attack just now, and I don't know which one opened the city gate, hurry! Hurry up and cover Solandale's evacuation, leave it to me here! ”
As he spoke, Larsen came over and tugged at Garrot's arm.
Because of the old friendship and the fact that the situation was really unknown, Garrot seemed a little hesitant, he did not continue to question Larsen, but turned to Solandale and said, "Quick, keep up, we will evacuate immediately!" ”
Solandale was about to say something, but suddenly froze in place, pointed behind Garrot and screamed, "Be careful!! ”
"Poof-" Blood splattered.
Garrot looked at the blade that came out of his belly in amazement, and staggered to the ground, he turned back in disbelief to see Larsen's grim smile.
