Chapter 383 Secret Path

The carriage stopped behind a dirt slope.

When Qin Ran jumped out of the carriage with his belongings, it was already the last moment of dawn, and the sky was about to brighten.

With the height of Thunder Fortress, even if you are not a sharpshooter, you only need to have sharper eyes to see clearly far away.

What's more, most of the grassland invaders are marksmen.

As long as the leading general is not an idiot, he will know how to use his own advantages.

Therefore, Qin Ran and Bosco were cautious.

"I can only send you here!"

"I wish you a safe return!"

Bosco said in a rare serious tone.

"Um!"

"Say goodbye to Mary for me—although I wanted to say it myself, but..."

Qin Ran shrugged and did not continue talking.

Before, Qin Ran really wanted to say goodbye to Mary himself, but the girl's expression made Qin Ran at a loss, and when he came to his senses, he was already in the carriage.

It's a pity that I didn't say it myself.

But it's the same if someone relays it.

Qin Ran thought so.

But he didn't expect Bosco's reaction.

"Your Highness, please go and say it yourself..."

"This farewell is too heavy, please forgive me for not being able to convey it!"

After Bosco finished speaking, he boarded the carriage and left.

Looking at the carriage that melted into the darkness, Kieran raised his eyebrows.

He knew that Bosco had misunderstood something, but he had no chance to explain it.

He couldn't shout to stop Bosco who was leaving.

Because, that would also expose him.

Shaking his head, Kieran put these trivial matters out of his mind, and began to concentrate on looking at the Thunder Fortress in the distance.

The secret path is located between the mountain walls on the left side of Thunder Fortress.

It's not that high, but there is some distance to climb.

More importantly, it is necessary to avoid the sight of Thunder Fortress at all times.

At night, it's okay to have the cover of darkness, but once it's dawn, even Kieran is not sure enough.

Therefore, Kieran was ready to act immediately.

However, when he looked at the Thunder Fortress, his body couldn't help shaking.

He saw two Jingguan on both sides of the avenue!

It was piled up from the corpses of the defenders of the Thunder Fortress. Although the soil was not compacted yet, it made people shudder to see it.

Qin Ran came into contact with an unknown number of corpses.

But it was the first time I saw the corpses placed in a Jingguan appearance.

It took two to three seconds before he came back to his senses.

"Show off your feats and deter the enemy?"

Qin Ran whispered to himself.

There is no doubt that the grassland invaders have done very successfully.

Kieran was sure that with the morale of the remnants of the Warren King's capital Lulderry, if it was possible to come here, it would really become a demoralized and demoralized appearance.

Of course, this is just an almost impossible assumption.

But one part of Qin Ran's original plan had to be changed.

"Killing? No!"

"It's not just bloodthirsty, but..."

Qin Ran roughly scanned Jingguan, and the number of corpses far exceeded the number he had passed through before.

Where did the rest of the bodies come from?

Part of it comes from the battle when the Prairie Raiders entered Thunder Keep.

Another part...

POW!

Although the road he chose when he came here was a hidden path, Kieran could still see the broken soldiers returning from Thunder Fortress from time to time from the car window.

The number reached hundreds.

Compared with the number of people stationed in Thunder Fortress, this number is not too much.

Qin Ran guessed at the time that these soldiers should have been captured.

Therefore, he instinctively thought of creating chaos, releasing all the captives, and causing trouble for the grassland invaders.

However, it now appears that he still underestimated the determination of the grassland invaders.

Or……

He overestimated the number of steppe invaders.

Although there is not enough time, James VIII introduced the situation of the prairie people in more detail.

With tribes as a collection, slavery prevails, and slaves are used as currency. In some remote tribes, slaves are more valuable than gold.

The biggest source of slaves is war.

To put it simply, prisoners of war are generally used as slaves, and killing slaves who can represent currency is to destroy one's own property.

When will you destroy your property?

When it is impossible to really own these properties and it is a last resort.

There are not many situations that can make the grassland invaders who have occupied Thunder Fortress a last resort.

The number of people is the greatest possibility.

"There are not enough people to guard the prisoners of war, so kill them all?"

With a guess in his heart, Qin Ran acted quickly.

As for the behavior towards the prairie people?

He has no further comments.

After all, Grassland and Warren are hostile parties, and it is not an exaggeration to use any method for the two countries to go to war.

At this moment, the grassland massacred the prisoners of war and made a Beijing watch to deter Warren.

When Warren was once powerful, he never drove back tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

This in itself is a relationship of opposites and constantly changing, and it will stop only after one of the two parties is completely destroyed.

Qin Ran didn't know when one of the two parties would perish completely.

But he knows that his current position cannot cause Warren to perish.

At least, not now.

Whoosh!

Carrying a brand new backpack full of Warren's style, Kieran jumped up and jumped onto the left mountain wall of Thunder Fortress with a slight sound of breaking through the air.

According to what was marked on the blueprint, Qin Ran found the entrance without spending too much time.

Under a dead tree.

After removing the soil covering it, a secret road made of rock appeared in front of my eyes.

Qin Ran stood quietly by the side, waiting for the dirty air in the secret passage to dissipate before slowly entering it.

The darkness couldn't block Kieran's vision.

He could clearly see that the entire secret path was going straight forward, and when it reached the end, there were steps going up.

These steps are not the usual steps.

It is more like a ladder carved out of stone, which needs to be climbed up with hands and feet.

The height is about twenty meters.

With a backpack on his back, Qin Ran climbed over with both hands, nimbly like an ape, and quickly reached the top.

However, Qin Ran did not immediately push the secret door above his head to go out, but listened attentively.

Although according to what James VIII said, the end of the secret road should be a warehouse, which stores some military supplies.

But that was many years ago.

Time has passed, and it is difficult to guarantee that the layout inside has not changed.

What's more, after the prairie people took over, who knows what the other side will do here.

Listen intently for a few seconds.

No sound came into my ears.

Qin Ran took a deep breath, put one palm on the secret door, and was about to push it open.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Tread Tread!

Calm and powerful, Qi Qi appeared on top of Qin Ran's head.

PS first update~

This chapter is timed, because I really couldn't sleep last night, so I just got up and typed when I was decadent...

Although I tried my best to adjust my biological clock, but after being disrupted again, I found that my true heart was going to be turned upside down!

I'm so sorry...
