10.The.Rock (16)
The sound of footsteps, shouting, and noise was mixed together, and at first it remained consistent, but gradually even that calmness was gone, and the scale of the chaos gradually expanded.
"I took the bait, and almost all of them went towards the bathhouse, and the guards on the other side of the prison hall were weakened a lot. ”
Retelling the information gathered from the ground by the spider silk, the spider's closed eyes opened, and he nodded at Roland, and the two of them ran quickly.
Roland's plan was simple: provoke the crocodiles guarding the underground waterways and lure them to the surface to make trouble in the prison, so as to draw the attention of the Knights of the Golden Fleece and rescue the hostages.
It's very simple to say, but there are a few difficult points.
It's not hard to lure a crocodile, just provoke it, but how do you save the hostages when there's a locomotive-sized reptile in hot pursuit?
Fortunately, this problem was solved by the crocodile itself.
Perhaps negligently, or deliberately, the crocodile was hermaphroditic and conceived on its own without the help of external forces. Although this behavior, which is more chaotic than inbreeding, directly leads to the extremely low survival rate of the cubs, the nature of egg protection has not changed. Roland used phantom magic to grope his way to the crocodile's nest with the spider, and secretly transferred the eggs inside to the bathhouse, which was the easiest to invade.
When the giant crocodile returned to its nest and found that the egg was missing, he immediately fell into a rage. This giant beast, which has lived in the sewers for many years, has poor eyesight, but a keen sense of smell. I followed the smell all the way to the bathhouse, and only hit it two or three times. A large hole was washed out of the ground. Team Regev had the privilege of witnessing the spectacle of giant crocodiles climbing to the ground.
The roars of man and beast stirred together, resounding throughout the underground waterways. The crocodiles who sacrificed their lives to save their eggs and the men who "picked up soap" fought together, and it was difficult to distinguish between them in a short time. But both Roland and the spider knew very well that this was only temporary, as long as they continued to concentrate on the magic attack, or dispatched the giant Weiman in standby, the crocodile would be subdued immediately. Now we must seize every second, quickly deal with the weak garrison, and leave here with the hostages.
"But what are you going to do? Even if you manage to rescue the hostages, there will be 700 of them. How are you going to get them out with you?"
While speeding towards the northeast corner of the island. The spider asks the second puzzle.
"The Knights of the Golden Fleece didn't fly or swim on their own, did they?"
Don't look back. The young man asked a rhetorical question.
I see.
The spider who understood nodded secretly, and accelerated under his feet.
Capable of flying across the ocean without stopping, such as the Korchas and Raton, is a difficult task. Therefore, the Knights of the Golden Fleece could only approach Alcatraz by boat, taking advantage of the defenders to relax their vigilance. Conquer the entire island in one fell swoop.
Other words. The port should have enough large ships to accommodate the Colchis. It couldn't be better for evacuation.
"Most of the boats they use are old-style sailboats, which have a limited speed and leave the berth. I'm going to trouble you and the 'Abyss'. ”
"I understand, although it is a handsome decision, but it is also realistic. ”
In the blink of an eye, the spider let out a wry smile of "I can't help you", and along the fork in the road, the two went straight to their respective goals.
As Alcatraz originally functioned as a training facility, it had to undergo extensive renovation and expansion to meet its new use as a "fortress-like prison", and some blocks had to be rebuilt. This has resulted in a considerable amount of work, with only 37% of the total amount of work completed so far, even with a large amount of new construction machinery and technology, and the number of blocks that could be used to hold hostages is quite limited.
If the lack of strength of the Knights of the Golden Fleece is also taken into account, the scope of the lock is further narrowed.
However, the other party is not a fool, and even if some of the attention of the past is attracted by the bathhouse, there will still be a minimum of guards left - not many people, but enough strength to react in the event of an accident and hold out until reinforcements arrive.
On the other hand, for the sake of risk diversification and value considerations, the most important hostage, Minerva, must be held in solitary confinement, most likely by the head of the Knights, Hammer himself, which makes it even more difficult to rescue.
(M...... Although I can't help it, it's pretty good to be handsome, but, to challenge that bad old man or something-)
Swallowing the question "Is it okay?", the spider who took Roland's deep request as the highest priority shook off a distracting thought, and rushed faster than an arrow from the string to the sewers of the No. 1 prison building where the workers were imprisoned.
Serious offender prison restricted area.
This is a prison for all types of felons, and there are many blocks of "the best" titles throughout the prison.
It's the most rugged and deepest, with the most comprehensive surveillance design and security features. At the same time, it is also the most luxurious and comfortable place, like a garden resort.
In order to provide the most comfortable prison life for customers who pay for VIP services, there is a garden with a variety of tropical flowers and fruits, and the magnates serving their sentences here can enjoy the tranquility of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while also fully catering for shopping, leisure, entertainment and other thoughtful services, including the supply of different levels of central stimulants and prostitutes!
As for those prisoners who have no money, they naturally have their own places to go, water prisons, air pressure punishment rooms, black prisons, and death gladiatorial arenas are all available, which can relieve the boredom of VIP customers and squeeze some surplus value for the company.
When he heard the approximate purpose of this block from the spider's mouth, Roland could only pay tribute to his adoptive father's careful calculations.
"Really...... That guy should use his ingenuity in a good direction once in a while. ”
Giving away his sigh for his adoptive father, Roland pulled out a 9mm self-defense pistol from his holster under his ribs and tightened the attached silencer - these were all accessories in the wilderness drifting toolbox brought by the "Abyss", which was originally used as a self-defense prop when escaping the island. In the case of surprise rescue, the 9mm pistol is a bit insufficient, even if the unique double-action firing mechanism is used, it is difficult to hide the defect of insufficient power. However, there is no time to wait for the abyss to pull in the propulsion grenade or professional props such as submachine guns and assault rifles, so I have to keep it simple.
"It's good that Caspar is here at this time, his gold-plated 'Eagle of the Guards' is not very good, but it is powerful enough. But if you get a scratch or something, that gun collector will go berserk......"
Roland muttered to his half-orc friend who liked large-caliber firearms and turned on the pistol safe. Amid the sound of running water in the sewers, Roland caught the sounds of talking and footsteps getting closer and closer overhead.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Taking a deep breath, the boy jumped out of the sewer, and two low, muffled sounds flashed. (To be continued......)
PS: Why are there FFF group members in the book review area...... I'm scared...... I didn't do anything to make people jealous, did I? Well, there's a more to be done later.
