At half past five in the afternoon on October 3rd, Dane led his personal guards into the city.
In essence, when Caroline led a regiment of soldiers to capture the gate of the wasteland pass, there was no suspense in this battle.
The guards at the barren land pass tried in vain to organize a new line of defense behind the city gate. However, when the city gate was opened, the wolf cavalry acted as the vanguard, instantly breaking down the enemy's unstable defense line.
After that, a large number of troops filed in from the city gate, and all the defenses in the wasteland pass were absolutely impossible to take shape under the crushing of Dane's army.
As for the defenders on the city walls, they were first touched by black-handed spies, covered with more than a dozen scrolls of enhanced darkness, and then baptized by a round of artillery fire from Dane's artillery formation. The templar who stepped out of the door launched a powerful surprise attack, and was beaten to pieces in a blink of an eye, and also collapsed on the spot.
Therefore, when Dane entered the city, the entire wasteland pass had already become his possession. At this time, there are still some sporadic resistance and fighting in the city, but it has not hindered the overall situation.
In Im's luxurious mansion standing in the center of the wasteland pass, Dane met the master who was tied up.
Im is not young anymore, he is a short and fat man in his sixties. His body was full of pork belly, and the ropes that bound him left traces, and his pale hair fell out a lot, becoming a Mediterranean hairstyle.
When he learned that the city gate had been breached, he had already realized that the situation was over and prepared to flee for his life. Under his mansion, there is a secret road leading to the outside of the city. This is when he was building the city in his early years, he had reserved a retreat for himself in advance.
Few people know about that secret path, and it is very secretive. After Im finished building the city, he killed the hard workers and construction workers who were responsible for building the secret passage. This was done to keep the secret.
Such a secret passage is naturally not too big to accommodate too many people at the same time. Im didn't even bring his confidants with him, only two personal guards, and a young and beautiful lover.
It has to be said that this fat old man is an out-and-out hungry ghost. When he was running for his life, he still couldn't bear to part with the new lover he had taken in for less than half a month and hadn't gotten tired of it yet.
However, it was precisely because he took this woman with him that he failed in the end.
He still remembers very clearly that when he walked with the woman in the dark tunnel for about ten minutes with two strong personal guards and the torch, he suddenly heard two strange noises behind him.
Turning his head, he happened to see the 'weak' woman, and pulled out two daggers from the necks of his two bodyguards.
Then, he saw that the woman with delicate and white skin and a gentle personality changed drastically in front of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a woman with dark purple skin and a playful smile on her lips. elf.
If it wasn't for this woman, he would have been able to escape from the wasteland pass.
But now, everything is closed.
"I lost."
When seeing Dane, Im spit out these three words.
"It should be." Dane smiled, "Papa Im... Hehe, what a reputation."
Im sighed, and said, "I'm in your hands now, you can deal with it as you like. I just want to ask, Dane, I don't have a chance to live? If you can save me a life? Well, you can do whatever you want me to do."
Dane nodded and said with satisfaction: "Yes, this is the attitude a loser should have. I can save your life, yes."
"thanks."
Dane smiled again: "I haven't finished talking yet, what are you thanking for?"
"What do you want? I can cooperate with you to deal with Waterman. I can issue a statement that the wasteland pass belongs to Schindler's land and has nothing to do with the Florentines; I can also bury me outside the city. The location of the secret treasure is handed over to you, that is not a small sum, I can still... "
Halfway through the conversation, he couldn't continue. He saw Dane smiling and shaking his head.
Dane said: "What you said is good, but in comparison, I want your life more."
Im's eyes widened: "You can't do that to me! It won't do you any good at all!"
"But I'm happy."
Im's eyes instantly turned gray.
Im thought of many ways to save his life. As he said, he can still do many things while alive.
However, Dane would not let him live.
Before the expedition, during the public speech at Shawan Harbor, Dane put seven big hats on this guy's head without any compromise. Each charge is enough for him to die once.
Let him live? Don't those public charges become a joke
Dane must maintain his legal dignity. For those seven crimes, and for the world to see his majesty, Im is dead.
If this guy got away, he'd be in big trouble. But now, there is no problem anymore.
He can't die now, but his fate has already been doomed: after the war is over, he must be brought back to Shawan Harbor for a public trial and then public execution.
The barren land pass has not been completely pacified yet, but with Patience here, the ranger general personally took command and led the troops to clean up the city. Presumably, by tomorrow at the latest, the entire city will be cleared.
At the moment, the most important question before Dane is Earl Waterman of the 'Bull'.
The current situation of this grumpy Lord Earl can be described as quite embarrassing.
He hastily pulled up an army of tens of thousands of people, and when Dane set off, he also stepped into this desert.
If he can reach the barren land pass before Im is finished, then this battle still has to be fought.
However, now, the situation he faced was very embarrassing.
According to the information obtained by Dane, Wortman's army is only a little more than a day away from the wasteland pass. However, he is now in a dilemma.
There is no doubt that whoever occupies the barren land pass will be able to take the lead in this desert. Originally, Wortman's army needed to rely on Im to provide him with supplies, but now that Im is gone, his way of harvesting supplies from the wasteland pass will be cut off, and he can only rely on the people from Florence. Shipping lines for a living.
And to maintain a long supply line, and fight a big away game with Dane, who is sitting on a wasteland pass and has a large army, Wortman has no idea at all.
