Chapter 73 Vivian's Blood

"Eric, as a noble knight, you shouldn't curse others behind your back, but Faranell is indeed an evil pharmacist, and it is said that he is here this time." After the senior officer finished speaking, Eric bowed his head in thought , I don’t know what I’m thinking.

"So, when it's time to go, you must be decisive."

Obviously, neither Eric nor the wily old knight paid attention to the soldiers who were fighting on the battlefield.

It seems that in their eyes, it is a pawn that can be discarded at any time.

No one cares about their life or death.

At the same time, on the battlefield, the tragic duel continued.

The dozen or so prisoners around were already dead, and only three or four remained. Tang An was protected by Yang Baoguang, otherwise, he probably would not have survived.

Orcs are too powerful.

Size, strength, and speed are all more than twice as strong as normal adult humans, but Yang Baoguang is not giving them in vain now, relying on a long sword in his hand, he can deal with orcs one or two.

There are fewer and fewer human soldiers around.

Tang An has been observing, observing both the front and the rear.

Coincidentally, Tang An also saw the conversation between Eric and the old knight. Although he couldn't hear it, and even if he heard it, he couldn't understand it, but he could see the expression.

Under the Eye of Insight, details can also be clearly observed at a distance of more than [-] meters.

Tang An saw the 'conspiracy'.

No matter how stupid you are, the two armies are at war, and the commander has to run away. This is not a good thing.Tang An was naturally careful, he looked around, and ran away directly pulling Yang Baoguang.

A guard next to him saw this and wanted to stop him, but was knocked down by Tang An, and Yang Baoguang kicked him directly on the head.

Yang Baoguang trusted Tang An, so he didn't ask anything at this time, and just obeyed.

At this time, Yang Baoguang's bravery was reflected.

With a height of nearly two meters and strong arms wielding a long sword, Yang Baoguang can maintain more than [-]% of his combat power even in shackles. Without Yang Baoguang, Tang An would definitely not be able to rush out of the battlefield.

The long sword in Yang Baoguang's hand was already curled. Tang An handed the sword in his hand to Yang Baoguang while observing the route. In this case, how to choose a correct route to escape is more important.

In this regard, no one can compare to Tang An.

"Front!"

Tang An pointed in a direction, Yang Baoguang didn't ask much, and immediately rushed over with his sword.

"Wait a minute, lean down, don't move, okay, keep going!"

The insightful eye can detect some dangers in advance, and avoid and hide them. That's it, Tang An and Yang Baoguang escaped without any danger and successfully broke through.

After rushing out, the shouts behind them gradually disappeared, and the two leaned against a big tree to rest.

For the two of them, this was a trial, and it was different from the fight with the ogre. Here, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the ground under their feet is stained dark with blood. Only those who have experienced it can feel that feeling. I have personal experience.

"Go, go back."

Tang An knew that only by returning to the previous high tower stronghold would it be possible to find Xiao Qingtian and their equipment. I hope it will not be too late.

The two did not delay at all this time, and ran all the way. By the time they saw the stronghold, it was already evening.

Fortunately, there were still people here, and the building was not empty as Tang An had worried.

The two of them were not in a hurry this time. On the way, they used their long swords to cut off the shackles on their hands. At this moment, they did not rush over, but waited until it was dark before sneaking closer.

At this moment, the defense of the stronghold is slightly weaker than before.

Many of the soldiers recruited before had been transferred away, but Tang An observed that there were at least a dozen guards on duty in the stronghold at the moment, and besides that, they were old people, women and children.

Still outnumbered and outnumbered, Tang An and Yang Baoguang had to find a way to go in.

In terms of thinking, Tang An obviously crushed Yang Baoguang. The latter frowned and was at a loss. Tang An had already started to make arrangements.

"Baoguang, wait a while and make some noise outside to lure out the guards inside. It's best to set a fire outside." Tang An confessed, and Yang Baoguang nodded.

After Tang An hid in the darkness, Yang Baoguang lit a pile of weeds not far from the stronghold.

Dried weeds ignite in a fire and quickly become raging.

The distance was too close, and the guards in the stronghold immediately noticed the flames, and then the door of the stronghold wall was pushed open, and at least five guards in armor and holding long swords rushed out.

Tang An took the opportunity to sneak into the stronghold from behind the door.

The sudden fire made everyone in the stronghold very nervous, including the civilians here. Fortunately, it was so that Tang An would not be obtrusive when he was among them.

The situation in the stronghold was more dangerous than Tang An thought.

There are at least twenty guards here, as well as elite cavalry. Most importantly, when Tang An saw the cavalry captain, he didn't expect him to come back.

Tang An hid among the crowd, thought for a while, and then sneaked towards the back.

There are several houses behind the high tower in the stronghold, one of which is the kitchen. Thanks to the fire set by Yang Baoguang, which attracted everyone's attention, Tang An sneaked in without any risk, and then came out in a short time .

When rejoining the crowd, Tang An secretly threw something on the ground.

It was a small empty bottle.

The fire outside was quickly extinguished, and several guards came back to report the situation to the cavalry captain. The people around him dispersed, and Tang An was among them. Relying on the keenness of his discerning eyes, he found the woman who took care of Qingtian.

This made Tang An feel a little relieved.

The civilians recruited here can only live in temporary shacks, concentrated on the west side of this stronghold. Tang An followed the other party and saw the other party getting into a small shack. Tang An went over and saw that there were people inside. On a sunny day when I was sleeping, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman spotted Tang An, but Tang An moved faster. He dodged into the shack and covered the woman's mouth with his hands to keep her silent.

Terrified women had to follow suit.

Tang An naturally has his own plan. He is an observer with meticulous observation skills. The guards here eat separately from the civilians.Tang An, who discovered this, took advantage of the chaos and dropped the vial of Vivian's blood he was carrying into the guard's food.

Tang An had discovered that Vivian's blood was a prop that could be used as poison.

Of course, Tang An doesn't know the specific effect yet, so he can only wait and see.

Tang An's plan is to create chaos by poisoning, find an opportunity to take away Qingtian, and retrieve his and Yang Baoguang's items and props at the same time.

It's just getting dark now, and those guards are going to have dinner soon, so it won't take long before it should have an effect.

Tang An had discussed this with Yang Baoguang. The other party hid outside. If he found that the stronghold was in chaos, he would find a way to come in and cooperate with Tang An.

Of course, Tang An was also worried during the waiting process, worried that there would be a small mistake in his plan, for example, those guards found that there was something wrong with the food, if that was the case, it would be troublesome.

After waiting in this anxiety for less than an hour, Tang An heard a scream from outside.

"coming!"
