foreigner's journey

Chapter 602 Rescue Operation
In the middle of the night, Wendam City, the capital of the Kingdom of Midland.

Soldiers holding torches were patrolling when they suddenly noticed something unusual in front of them and shouted, "Who is it so late..."

Before they finished speaking, they found a beautiful black-haired woman in front of them, and they couldn't help but kneel down in shock: "Princess Shaerut!? Your Majesty has issued an order to prohibit you from leaving the palace."

The woman named Sarlut is the only daughter of the King of Midland Kingdom, and the princess who will inherit the throne in the future.

She looked worried: "I've been in the palace for so long, I'm almost suffocated. That's why I want to avoid other people's sight, and come out to get some air in the dead of night. Can you please not tell others?"

"This..." The soldiers looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

"I won't make it too difficult for you. Anna, come."

"Yes."

A maid came out from behind Princess Sharute, she took out a bulging purse, counted out a few gold coins and handed them to the soldiers: "Although it is a little short, please accept it, take it in such a cold night Buy some wine."

The soldiers were short-handed, and it was difficult for the soldiers to say anything. They looked at the guards standing in the shadows behind the princess: "In this case, it's up to you to protect Her Highness the Princess."

After the soldiers walked away, Princess Sharute breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well done, I thought you were an unsophisticated princess." Gus stepped out from the shadows, followed by three backbones of the Eagle Group, Casca, Jado and Bibbin.

A week ago, Gus found the Eagle Group that was being hunted down in a deep mountain.After repelling the pursuers, Gus joined the crowd, and only then did he learn what happened a year ago.

On the day he left, Griffith was as distraught as a walking dead. No one saw him throughout the night, and he did not return to the Eagle Group's station the next morning.

Just when everyone was about to find Griffith, a messenger from the royal palace conveyed Griffith's order to the Eagle Group, requesting to gather in an unarmed posture on the plain outside the city, saying that it was about awarding honors.Since it was Griffith's order and his token, the Eagle Group naturally had no doubts.

As a result, what awaited them was the elite army of the Kingdom of Midland ten times the number of the Eagles.One side had been prepared long ago, while the other side was unarmed. The Eagle Group was caught off guard, killing and injuring one-third of its members in an instant.

Without the leader Griffith, the unarmed Eagle Group retreated in a row under the attack of the Kingdom of Midland Army.Seeing that it was about to be completely destroyed, Casca stepped forward and organized all the chaotic survivors in the rain of arrows with five arrow wounds on her body. In the continuous pursuit, he led the Eagles to survive for a year.

During the period, they inquired around and finally learned that Griffith was severely condemned by King Midland for committing a felony the night after Gus left, and was imprisoned in the dungeon in the city and tortured.

After reuniting with Gus, Casca finally opened her heart to him, and the two young people who had long been in love with each other expressed their heart to each other.

With the addition of Gus, the Eagles regrouped.Gus and other four best cadres are in charge of sneaking into the city to join the informant, waiting for an opportunity to rescue Griffith, while the Eagle Group is in ambush outside Windham City to meet them.

After arriving in the city through a secret passage, Gus and others discovered that the informant was actually Her Royal Highness Princess Sharute of Midland.

It turns out that the felony committed by Griffith was having an affair with Princess Sharute.Princess Sharlot had always had a crush on the handsome Griffith. On the night Gus left, Griffith was in a state of mind, and he had the audacity to sneak into the princess's boudoir. Her Royal Highness half-pushed and left Griffith, but he didn't want a maid to discover this scene and report it to the king.

As a result, Griffith was caught by the king.The furious king imprisoned the princess in the palace, and tortured Griffith in the dungeon day and night, completely disregarding that the other party had saved his life in the miracle war.

Although he didn't understand why Griffith would be so hot-headed, Gus would never let Griffith continue to be locked in the dungeon and tortured.

Everyone walked quickly through Wendam City in the night, and finally came to an ancient tower.

Jeto looked at the tower and explained to the others:

"This is the [Tower of Rebirth], the oldest tower among the few towers in Windham City. It is said that it existed before the founding of the Kingdom of Mitland. I heard that the hostages captured during the war and the era of pagan hunting Heretics caught were imprisoned beneath this tower."

The princess looked at the tower in front of her with some fear: "No, the basement of the tower is still used as a prison. I heard that Lord Griffith is imprisoned at the bottom of the underground prison."

After everyone discussed, they decided to immediately enter the tower to rescue Griffith.Under the strong request of the princess, they had no choice but to take this Her Royal Highness who volunteered to be a 'hostage'.

After killing the two guards at the entrance of the tower, everyone continued to move forward along the stairs.

The steps at the bottom of the tower spread downwards in a spiral shape, and the dark abyss in the center could not see the end.

According to legend, this trial tower was built on the back of a huge cave, the depth of which is higher than any mountain in Mitland.

Perhaps because of their confidence in the strength of the prison, except for the two guards who were killed at the door, there was not a single jailer or guard in the underground prison tower, which made everyone's intrusion process very smooth.

The closer they got to the ground, the more excited everyone became.Griffith can be rescued immediately, the Eagle Group absolutely cannot live without Griffith, as long as he comes back, the Eagle Group will definitely be able to make a comeback.

Finally, they came to the deepest part of the underground prison tower.The stairs only extended to the door of this cell, and beyond that was a bottomless black abyss.

Gus couldn't wait to find the key, so he swung his giant sword and smashed the cell door.As the door shattered, a damp musty smell rushed over, and there was worrying stagnant water everywhere on the ground.

In the empty prison cell, you can't see your fingers. Everyone walked in with torches and kept calling Griffith's name, but there was no response at all.

"Could it be in another prison?" Jiedu was a little puzzled.

The princess hurriedly said: "No, it's impossible, I did get news that it's the lowest prison."

Gus narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly noticed a figure crouching in the corner of the cell in the light of the torch.

He stepped forward quickly and said loudly, "Griffith, is that you? Why don't you make a sound..."

The words stopped abruptly, Gus's pupils shrank sharply as he looked at the 'figure' in front of him.

"...G, Griffith?"
