This is to attract their attention. As long as they are notified to come down from this rope, their lives will be safe in a short time.
Dangdang, the stone fell on the cliff. Although Wals had experienced a great battle, he still had the physical strength to throw the stone onto the cliff. The sound quickly attracted the attention of everyone present. Now they all concentrated their attention to stay vigilant. Naturally, they had to be wary of those unexpected hidden arrows.
Desevi was the first person to rush up and look down the cliff. Desevi was the most seriously injured person. At this moment he could no longer pull his own bow and arrow, which meant that his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Therefore, it was most appropriate to send a person with no combat effectiveness to observe every move below the cliff.
Wals knew that if he opened his throat to command the seven people in front of him, he would definitely draw the attention of the Rhodok Kingdom to the bottom of the valley. It would be better for them to pretend to be serious as if they were going to jump off the cliff, jump down from the cliff, grab the rope and slide down in the process, so as to dispel the doubts of the Rhodok Kingdom.
Wals made a gesture towards Desevi, and the gesture was obvious. It was to let Desevi jump off the cliff to reach the valley. Desevi also knew that the number of the Rhodok Kingdom troops in front of him was too large, and he would definitely not be able to defeat them by fighting head-on. The only option now was to jump off the cliff.
Desevi gave Bestur a look, and the meaning of this look was naturally a special secret language. He told Bestur to do things his own way. Finally, in Bestur's surprised look, Desevi jumped directly off the cliff. Bestur immediately rushed to the edge of the cliff nervously and looked around.
Bestur seemed to understand what Desevi meant. Regardless of whether Wals found the sword or not, his group would jump off the cliff. After all, there were too many people in the Rhodok Kingdom. Bestur immediately gestured to his other companions, asking them to jump off the cliff with him. In this way, one after another, a total of six people jumped off the cliff.
The last one was Airen. He understood the importance of being the last one. If he jumped down like this, the army of the Rhodok Kingdom would definitely find the rope and cut it, and he would be killed. His companions below him also had a very good understanding with him, and they also understood Airen's situation.
His companions also acted very quickly. They immediately built a pile of people under the rope. They wanted to make a human cushion to protect Ailen from harm.
Airen did not disappoint his companions. After killing the Rock soldier closest to him, the spearmen stopped moving forward. They all realized that his companions had jumped off the cliff and Airen would be the last one. Count Talba was mixed about this. He was happy that his enemies were dead, but sad that he could not capture them alive and persuade them to surrender to his generals.
However, those who should disappear must disappear. Count Talba did not have much mercy. He gave orders for the last time, ordering his soldiers to start the attack.
At this moment, Airen had nowhere to retreat. He kicked a corpse of a Rhodok soldier on the ground with his left foot, and it hit three Rhodok soldiers who were about to rush towards him. As soon as the three Rhodok soldiers fell to the ground, Airen immediately jumped off the cliff. At the critical moment, Airen suddenly grabbed the rope. At this time, Airen was still half a cliff high from the ground.
He immediately remembered the rope and lowered it down the cliff. In order to reach the ground as quickly as possible, Airen moved very quickly. This was a matter of life and death. The Rhodok soldiers were not fools. They quickly found the rope. It was relying on the rope that Airen did not die.
Count Talba acted decisively and immediately stepped forward to cut the rope. Even if Airen moved quickly, there was still some distance between him and the cliff. When the rope was cut, Airen was still carrying a group of his companions under him.
As his lover's body fell rapidly, his companions decisively caught him.
Although his companion's body was numb from the shock, he himself was not feeling well either. A mouthful of blood gushed out from his chest. It was a mouthful of blood clot. After all, the previous battles had made him sweat profusely and exhausted. He was lucky not to die after suddenly falling from such a high place this time.
Count Talba, who was on the cliff, looked down at this moment. It was a bottomless valley, but he could still vaguely see his enemy gasping for breath there.
"Damn it! They are still alive. None of the eight of them are dead. I absolutely cannot let them leave alive. Archers! Archers! Come up and shoot at the bottom of the cliff. Shoot them all to death."
The top of the cliff could only accommodate ten people standing side by side. Since Count Talba occupied a position, only nine archers came down. They picked up their crossbows and shot at the bottom of the cliff.
But too much time had passed, and Count Yuan Xiantalba wanted to send infantry to capture Ailen and the other seven alive, so the archers retreated behind the group of infantry. By the time the archers came forward, Wals and his group were already prepared.
"Hurry, move faster, we must leave quickly, so as not to give the enemy a chance to take over."
Wals lifted Airen and ran forward without looking back. His companions saw Wals doing this and immediately followed Wals. Not long after they left, a rain of arrows attacked.
Although this group of soldiers from the Rhodok Kingdom were recruited recently, their shooting skills are still quite good. After all, they are Rhodok crossbowmen.
Although their speed was a little slower, they still shot Niza who was running at the back. Niza was less injured because of the shield. He was a guy who was good at using shields, but he suddenly lost his shield this time. They had thrown away all the extra things when they jumped off the cliff, and they only had a long sword for cover.
The rain of arrows rushed down and Niza's leg was suddenly shot. As soon as his left leg knelt down, Fatis, who was running in front of him, suddenly stopped and carried Lijia on his back. This scene naturally moved Niza.
"Brother, luckily you are here this time, otherwise I might be done for."
Niza was lying on Fatis's back. Although she was only injured in her left leg, it also caused his boss's instantaneous explosive power to be unable to move quickly. After Fatis carried a person on his back, his speed did not increase but decreased, which seemed to stimulate his potential. After all, someone had been shot, and he didn't want to be the next guy to be shot.
Wals heard the whizzing sound of arrows behind him and quickened his pace. The little bit of consciousness that Airen had left also reminded him that this place was very dangerous.
The eight men moved very quickly, and Rodokru almost missed shooting them, but there was no doubt that there were some sharpshooters in Count Talba's army. Desevi was shot by several arrows and lost his ability to move, so Bestur took on the responsibility of carrying him.
With the solidarity and mutual assistance of everyone, the eight people of Wals escaped the pursuit of the Rhodok Kingdom and successfully hid in a narrow area, which made it impossible for the Rhodok crossbowmen to shoot them.
"Damn it, we failed at the last moment. There must be a secret under this valley, otherwise Wals would not have risked his life to bring seven people to this place. But now the secret under the valley may have been found by Wals." Count Talba looked at the bottomless valley.
He suddenly felt that there was no way out of this valley, so he must deploy heavy troops in this valley.
No!
How could he deploy heavy troops only in this valley? Logically speaking, Walsh was so cunning that he let his men jump down one after another, which means that Walsh was absolutely sure that he could find an exit and let his men leave quickly.
Such an idea appeared in Count Talba's mind. Count 328 was suddenly skeptical about this idea, but just in case, he still dispatched half of his troops to patrol around the valley. Maybe my special agent would appear somewhere.
How could he let these eight people slip away right under his nose? If such a thing were to reach the ears of his feudal lord, King Gryphus, would he be able to live a good life?
Under such circumstances, Count Talba quickly commanded his soldiers to take action, leaving some soldiers to surround the valley and others to patrol.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the valley, Wals and his seven companions were recovering from their wounds in a narrow area of the valley. In this place, the crossbowmen of the Rhodok Kingdom could not reach them. There was a lake not far away, and there was a python. In theory, as long as they could bear it, they could get a pot of water to drink and python meat to use. The body of the python was very strong, so they would not have to worry about food and drink for a short time. But this was not a long-term solution. After his companions recovered from their injuries, Wals began to prepare for the next step.
However, Count Talba was still on the cliff, and he might send someone down to inspect. Wals had to leave quickly.
Almost without a pause, Walls and his less seriously injured companions began to treat and heal the more seriously injured companions. All of this was to save time.
Count Talba would definitely deploy a large number of troops to surround them in this valley, and more likely, Count Talba would personally lead his army to attack them. In this case, relying on the combat power of eight people, they would not be able to defeat Count Talba's army. Even if they were in their prime, they would probably have no choice but to flee in panic when facing Count Talba's army, not to mention that their companions were injured.
Count Talba, who was on the cliff, quickly deployed his troops and then began to consider whether to go down to look for Wals himself. The valley below was so deep that he could not see the bottom. Count Talba was not willing to take the risk. He would definitely not go down into such a deep valley. Count Talba was also a little timid.
However, he was hesitant about whether to let his soldiers go down. However, after seeing that his soldiers were all looking at the valley with worried expressions, he gave up the idea of letting this group of soldiers go down. If he let this group of soldiers go down, they might fall to death halfway. And with Wals's fighting power, the soldiers he sent down would definitely seek death.
If Count Talba was willing to take the lead, he might be able to gather a team of soldiers. However, Count Talba himself did not have the courage to do so, so how could he let his soldiers go down?
Therefore, Count Talba adopted the most conservative plan, which was to firmly control the entire valley and the surrounding areas. As long as Wals did not take this step, he could trap him to death. Without food and water, how could Wals survive?
In this way, Wals and his party spent a peaceful day in this valley. On the second day, Wals was ready to leave here. Unexpectedly, Count Talba was so timid that he did not send pursuers to hunt them down. In fact, as long as he sent a group of death squads down to the valley to fight them bravely, Wals did not know how to deal with Count Talba's army. But it seems that he is very lucky.
Indeed, luck was on Wals's side. Count Talba's army was just watching above the valley. Count Talba did not have the courage to send his soldiers down. Those newly recruited soldiers were a little scared of the eight people in Wals's group, and asking them to go down such a deep valley was indeed a little scary for them.
Count Talba did not want to force his way. If his elite troops were still there, he could gather a group of people to go down to the valley to attack Wals. However, most of his elite troops died in the siege of Suno. A small number of elite troops under Ashin were to protect him as her guards. So how could he let such a group of important people go down to the valley? If the last batch of elite troops were also lost, how could he train a group of such elite troops in a short period of time?
The battlefield is ever-changing. Who knows whether King Gryfus will gather all the lords in the kingdom to join the war tomorrow? If he does not have elite troops to protect himself, it will be easy to lose his life on the battlefield.
While Count Talba was hesitating and worried, Wals and his eight men quickly left through an undercurrent at the bottom of the lake. The undercurrent was discovered by Wals. He knew that the python could not survive in this valley where there was no sign of life. This valley was the temporary shelter of the python. Its hunting grounds were definitely not in this valley. Therefore, there must be an undercurrent under the lake that could allow them to leave.
Undercurrent surged, and as Wals and his group moved forward, everyone followed Wals's footsteps and left the valley together. They all knew that this was the only way to survive, and there was no other way out. If they wanted to attack from the top of the valley, it would be impossible because the rope had broken. Without the rope, they could not even think of leaving here. Leaving from here undercurrent was the best plan, but they just hoped that this tunnel could be shorter, as breathing in the water was time-limited, and their chances of survival depended on God's blessing.
After a short journey, everyone finally reached their destination, which was a lake west of Agollon Castle. The lake was very small, so it was not marked on the map.
Although this swim was very short, it seemed like centuries to everyone. After they climbed ashore with difficulty, they opened their mouths and breathed in fresh air. To them, this air was life-saving medicine and the hope of their life.
Of course, the situation was not that bad. What appeared before them were just some unusual movements.
Yes, there was indeed some movement. It was a patrol team from the Rhodok Kingdom. Earl Talba ordered his soldiers to move towards the valley with difficulty. This was a patrol team of about seven people.
Wals could tell at a glance that these seven people were Count Talba's soldiers. It seemed that Count Talba had blocked these valleys tightly to prevent me from escaping from his clutches.
But now it seems that Walls can come and go freely.
"There is movement there, I seem to hear someone's voice. Someone came out of the water." A Rhodok soldier shouted to his companions.
The sentence was not loud, but Walls definitely heard it.
No one can be left behind. If one person is left behind, he can go back and inform Count Erba. Then Count Talba will lead his army and it will be another fierce battle.
Therefore, Hott decided to strike first. His Cliff Blade had not been used yet, and now was the time to sharpen it.
His seven companions had thrown away all their equipment and were only holding ordinary swords in their hands. After all, swimming in armor was really inconvenient, so they tried to reduce their armaments as much as possible.
Apart from the necessary long swords or long bows, they had no other weapons, and Walsh would not let the seven of them kill that group of Rock soldiers. Now was the time for him to set off.
After hearing the shouts of their companions, the group of Rock soldiers moved here one after another. No matter what, they had to come here to find out what was going on. Only in this way could they go back and report. After all, if they reported false information, Count Talba would definitely be furious.
So under such circumstances, the seven ignorant Rhodok soldiers came over. They peeled off layer after layer of leaves, and suddenly a sharp blade flashing with cold light appeared in front of them. It was Wals's Cliff Blade.
Just like that, the first ghost of the Cliff Blade appeared. No! It should be said that the first ghost of the Cliff Blade held by Wals appeared. After all, the Cliff Blade had an owner before.
The Rhodok soldier died without even a scream. The sound of him falling to the ground naturally alerted the other Rhodok soldiers. Another soldier following closely behind a Rhodok soldier was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and turned around to run. However, Wals's feet suddenly exerted strength. After a night's rest, Wals had almost recovered and it was easy for him to deal with the few soldiers.
The soldier was running away when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. The next moment, blood spurted out. The soldier knew what had happened. The simple defense on his body could not provide effective protection. Even those sturdy armors could not withstand Wals's Cliff Blade.
Just like that, the second ghost appeared at Wals' feet. At this moment, the other five Mule Calf soldiers appeared around Wals at the same time. After seeing Wals' true face, all the Rock refrigerators began to run away, because they knew clearly that even if they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they should not easily go to war with Wals. Wals' strength had already become famous in the Suno siege, so they did not dare to attack Wals.
Although there were still five Rhodok soldiers left in this group, they had only two directions to escape. Without a second thought, Wals flashed and immediately chased the three Rhodok soldiers who were fleeing to the left, killing them first. As soon as Wals saw the scene, the sound of the Cliff Blade breaking through the air was directly transmitted into the ears of the three Rhodok soldiers, followed by screams one after another, and the three Rhodok soldiers died directly at Wals' feet.
Then Wals started chasing in another direction without looking back. There were two Rock soldiers there. Now the top priority was to get rid of these scouts. Wals swung his Cliff Blade again, and the last two Rhodok soldiers fell.
