Rise of the Empire Total War

"Damn! Bald Hank was killed!"

A scream sounded from the lair of the Lavis Thieves Group. With the scream, the thieves in the entire half of the lair were alarmed, looking for the murderer and the two escaped prisoners.

That's right, apart from Toby, the kidnapped princess Sophia is also missing. Although the thieves don't know her identity, she looks noble enough to let them know that they can exchange her for a rich ransom .

What's more, Lavis, the leader of the bandit group, coveted that beautiful skin.

Looking at the bodies of the two minions who were killed, the maid who was still sitting on the ground stunned, and the seriously injured knight who was almost lifeless, Lavis looked indifferent. I have long been displeased with sex, looking at life like looking at ants.

"Deal with them all." Lavis said coldly, "Let everyone search the entire lair and find out the escaped ones. I want them to know what regret is."

After saying that, Lavis thought for a while, and added: "That woman." He pointed to the unresponsive maid, "Let the brothers have a good time, and then deal with it."

"Of order, boss." The minions behind Lavis laughed lewdly after hearing this, and then gathered around and worked together to carry the maid away. Perhaps realizing her fate, the maid's dull expression changed. There was a struggling and painful look on his face, but in the end he didn't resist, but shed a few tears silently, allowing the thieves to carry him away.

As for the injured knight who hung up and disconnected from the beginning to the end, he was simply dragged out and hanged in an open space in the nest.

Toby didn't know all this. In order to avoid the thieves, he panicked and got under the bald man's bed without hesitation. This drilling found a new world. He didn't expect that there was a straw-covered man under his bed. The covered pit!

After Toby got in, he fell into the pit in an instant, and before he could utter a scream, he heard the shouts of several people above his head.

Apparently, the body of the bald man was found.

Hiding under the bed, he would be discovered sooner or later. Toby began to crawl along this narrow tunnel. After climbing for an unknown amount of time, he finally entered an unknown cave. , Toby was surprised to find that there were several large wooden boxes stacked inside, and one of the wooden boxes could not be completely closed because it was full of things, revealing a large amount of silver coins inside.

"This is the underground warehouse of thieves!" Toby immediately reacted, and shouted in a slightly surprised voice.

But then he couldn't be happy, because he immediately remembered his current situation: trapped in this strange cave, there was no way to escape, and he didn't even know about Princess Sophia.

If the bald guy named Hank is killed, the thieves will definitely check the house where they are held. This investigation will definitely find the bodies of the two minions and Sophie who was told by him to hide in place and not to run around. Princess Asia...

One prisoner was escaped, and the fate of the remaining Princess Sophia can probably be guessed without saying anything.

Thinking of what might happen to Princess Sophia (Sofia is not miserable?), Toby's back felt a chill (not a rush of blood), and the princess was humiliated and defiled, and they, the guard knights, would definitely If they are severely punished, not only will their knight status be revoked, but their families may even be implicated.

It doesn't matter if Toby dies alone, but he doesn't want to see his relatives become the lowest low class, being looked at with blank eyes all day long, beaten, scolded and humiliated at will.

"I must find a way to rescue the princess." Toby thought, just about to look for other exits, but he didn't notice that a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him. This black shadow held up a stick-shaped weapon and smashed it hard at the back of his neck!

...

the other side,

As the sheriff of Luwen City, Blaise looked at the wounded man in a coma before him, and asked the cautious old man beside him, "Is this the wounded knight you found on the road?"

"Yes, Mr. Sheriff." The old man replied respectfully: "We found him lying on the ground unconscious on the road, with a broken arrow stuck in his chest, and a horse grazing beside him."

"Then is there anything that marks his identity?" Blaize continued to ask.

"When we took off the blood-stained armor from his body, we found a small cloth bag, but we dare not open it privately, so we are going to wait for you to come and give it to you..."

"Where's the cloth bag? Give it to me." Blaize interrupted the old man directly, and said in a somewhat hasty tone. He had a premonition in his heart that this wounded and unconscious knight must have some great background.

"Here, here it is for you." The old man was obviously startled by his tone, quickly took out a cloth bag from his waist, and handed it to Blaise respectfully.

After the latter took it, he decisively opened the cloth bag. There were not many things in the cloth bag, just a badge of status and a few silver coins.

However, it was this medal that almost made Blaise turn pale!

"Come on, hurry up and inform the Earl!" Blaise shouted anxiously, and the attendants who came with him immediately got on their horses and galloped away without asking questions. At the same time, regardless of his image, he grabbed the old man by the collar and asked, "Did he say anything to you?"

"Yes... yes..." The old man was terrified and responded repeatedly. Upon hearing this, Blaize asked, "What did he say?"

"Say... say..."

In a hurry, the old man forgot what Buck had said, so he could only stammer and couldn't answer. Just when Blaise's anxious eyes could breathe fire, a childish female voice came from the side, saying The old man was rescued.

"He suddenly shouted in a hurry, something is wrong with the princess, and then passed out again."

"Princess?" Blaise was startled, let go of the old man's hand, took a few steps back, and couldn't help but cast his gaze in the direction of Richard outside the window, "Which princess is the princess? Princess Stephanie and the Earl Together..."

"Yes, it's Princess Sophia."

At this time, Buck's weak and hoarse voice sounded, and Blaise looked quickly, only to see that Buck was frowning and barely propped himself up from the bed.

Seeing that Blaise and the others were looking at him, Buck coughed a few times and said, "We were attacked by thieves after we entered the territory of Luwen City. There were a lot of them. In the end, I was the only one who escaped. I think the princess may have been killed. They took it."

"The princess...was taken away?"
