In front of the East City Gate of Ravikaman, “How is it?
Is there any way?"
Livia walked around the sizzling blood on the ground and asked Killian and others who were thinking about the pull rod that was smashed into pieces.
Now the blood-colored clouds above our heads have dissipated, but the falling blood is still quite corrosive. Not only is there blood on the upper section of the city wall, but there are also some small puddles of blood on the ground at the city gate. We must always pay attention to our feet.
Hearing his question, Killian shifted his gaze to the capstan next to him.
"The lever is just a trigger. As long as the capstan is pulled, the gate can be opened."
As he spoke, Livia's gaze shifted to the capstan beside him. The capstan made of iron and wood was nailed firmly to the ground, with circles of iron chains wrapped around it, connected to the gear mechanism of the city gate.
He frowned when he saw this. If he was in good condition, he could try to open the city gate by himself with a winch. But now, not to mention being in good condition, his left arm has only recovered a little sensation.
He doubted that he could pull the winch with just his right hand, let alone be unable to do so. After loosening the capstan's fixing buckle, he would even be pulled back by the chain. But if he didn't hurry up, the guys from the castle would probably rush over, and it would be too late to change the city gate now.
Um?
Hearing footsteps behind him, he quickly turned his head.
Looking at Allison and others approaching, he realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Why does he always have to think about working alone? He can just ask the guards of the caravan to help him.
"Allison, bring your men with me."
He spoke a few words and then walked quickly towards the capstan.
Allison had just found a small bag of strange things from the body of the blood-robed man, and was about to come over and hand the hot stuff in the bag to Livia.
As a result, he heard Livia's words that sounded like instructions as soon as he came over. He looked at Killian next to him in confusion.
Killian now understood Livia's plan and nodded to Allison.
"Take some men to pull the capstan and open the city gate. We have to leave Ravikaman quickly."
To be honest, if he had known that he would only be a hindrance with his weight, he would have directly pulled the winch.
Allison was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, stuffed the bag into his arms, waved to the guards behind him, and quickly caught up with Livia.
Livia stepped over two puddles of blood and came to the front of the capstan. The capstan in front of her was as big as two people's waists, and the iron chain wrapped around it was even thicker, and it seemed that she could not hold it with one hand.
He frowned and stretched out his right hand to grab the joint of the chain links. This allowed him to hold on tightly, but it would be more rubbing to his hand and might cause the same situation as before in the Gray Demon Forest, where the skin on the palm of his hand was directly scratched by the iron chain.
But this is the only way now. Let's see whether the quality of the glove on his right hand hides a secret that no system can detect as he thought.
"Mr. Livia?
Can we really pull this off?
? "
Allison also brought his men over, looked at the big winch in front of him, swallowed his throat and asked uncertainly.
"Choose a few of the strongest people to hold the chain. We don't ask them to pull it, but they shouldn't be dragged by the chain."
Livia did not answer his question, but spoke with a serious expression.
Even if we can't pull it now, we have to try it first. Are we going to wait to die in this city?
In fact, Livia had one last solution, which was to hang a rope on the city wall and slide down by himself, but such a long rope was hard to find, and maybe only he could do it and fall down and escape when he was still several meters above the ground. These people in the caravan...
It's very difficult.
Watching Allison take the lead himself, leading four people around him to surround the capstan and grab the chain.
Livia nodded, and after making sure they had a firm grip, she slowly opened the mechanism that locked the chain.
call out!
As soon as the winch that was stuck in the chain was released, a huge force came from the chain. Allison and the other four almost lost their grip on it. Fortunately, Livia had anticipated it and quickly grabbed the chain when the mechanism was released.
After being dragged and sliding on the ground for several steps, they finally stabilized. Livia felt okay and could hold on for a while, but Allison and the other four probably couldn't hold on for long. Most of the pressure was on him. Their faces were flushed and veins bulged, as if they had used up all their strength.
well……
Livia didn't look at them again. The veins on her right hand bulged as she began to pull back the taut chain.
Allison and the other four began to pull with all their might. The chain made a creaking sound. As time passed, the chain was slowly pulled towards the winch.
Wrap it around once, twice...
The city gate made a dull sound and a gap was opened, allowing half a person to pass through.
Seeing this scene, Killian immediately grinned and laughed excitedly. Then, seeing that Allison and the other four people on the winch seemed to be exhausted, his face changed and he shouted nervously to the guards around him.
"Hurry up and replace Allison and the others!"
As the other five took over Allison and the other five, Livia pulled the chain with all her might.
Finally, after two groups of people were replaced, and before Livia's own strength was almost exhausted, the city gate was finally opened to a size more than two people's width.
Livia took a breath when she saw this, and used her last bit of strength to quickly put the chain onto the winch and locked it with the mechanism.
"Huh..." As he moved, the five guards who were pulling the chains breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
Livia glanced at them, panting and walking quickly towards the caravan. It was not time to rest yet. Although she didn't know why the people from the castle had not arrived for so long, this was still not a place to stay for long.
He calmed his breathing all the way back to the caravan, took the reins handed to him by the guard, and rode on Carrot.
"Killian, have someone leave quickly. There could be cultists stronger than me coming over to the castle any minute."
He turned his head to look at Killian who was approaching and said seriously.
Killian just wanted to say something with a smile, but before he could get his words out, he was blocked by Livia's words.
"You are stronger than Lord Livia...
Cultist?
? ? "
He had a shocked expression when he spoke the last part. After all, although he had some guesses in his mind before, he was still not sure. After hearing the cultists with his own ears, he was stunned.
I remembered the deeds of the cultists in the rumors, who sacrificed the entire town with blood, massacred small villages outside the town, ate human flesh and sucked human blood...
Thinking of this he shuddered, not daring to think about anything else, and quickly ordered the rest of the caravan to move quickly, and whoever slowed down would be left behind to communicate with the cultists such as Ravikaman.
After hearing that the people who attacked Ravikaman were cultists, everyone in the caravan started to move in panic. After all, when they were young, their parents used cultists to scare them so that they would not cry and run around.
I still have a deep impression on it, and after seeing half of the city wall disappearing and dyed red, I became even more terrified.
After a while, everyone, including the exhausted guards, quickly got on the carriages, and the caravan started quickly, heading out of the city. The city gate, which was more than two people wide, was originally not enough for the carriage to pass through, but Killian thought of a way. He forcibly peeled off the iron sheet, and then used a glass container to hold the corrosive blood in the blood puddle on the ground. If it was poured on the city gate, it would be corroded to a size nearly four people wide.
Fortunately, glass containers have good corrosion resistance, because Livia bought a large number of glass containers before.
Livia took the lead, and the caravan followed closely behind, rushing out of the city gate and moving quickly along the straight road, away from Ravikaman.
And those smart people who had gone home to pack their things saw the city gate opened and Livia and the caravan left, and then they followed them out of the city gate with their families.
The remaining people hiding in the streets looked at each other. Although they were very scared about the series of events that had just happened, they didn't understand what was going on and stood there stupidly without moving.
