570 A Good Captain!
'Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!'
The large boulder rolled away from the cave, forming a massive track wherever it went.
'Bam!'
It crashed into several trees, knocking some of them down in a flash as if they were ordinary bowling pins.
Many of the men looked at the damage caused by the boulder and unconsciously wiped the 'invisible' sweat from their foreheads.
'Phew!'
The weight of the rock alone was enough to grind their bones into dust if they were ever unfortunate to be victims of it all.
"Enough dwindling around!
Everyone, get into the cave now!"
"Yes, Captain Belbooza!"
With that, the men hurriedly but cautiously made their way into the dark gloomy cave ahead.
Yes!
It was time to see what other tricks these people had.
.
Stepping into the massive cave, the men quickly took out a simple lighter (obviously made in Baymard), and hastily lit up several torches before proceeding any further.
Gone were the days when they would've needed to hit two dry stones together or rub two dry twigs against each other in order to make fire.
Now, in just click, this weird but simple Baymardian device had helped several peasants, merchants, and even nobles all round the Pyno continent.
Only the heavens knew how hard it was to get any spark from stones or trees during winter or rainy seasons.
It was possible, but one could take several minutes or more just to get any spark.
But now, all they had to do was press down on a
spinny-thingy on the lighter and the rest was history.
Anyway, once their torches had been lit, they hastily stepped into the cave fearlessly.
'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'
They continuously observed their surroundings while jogged forward steadily..... and soon, danger had met them yet again.
.
"Hehehhehehe... I'm sure they're panicking right now while anticipating our arrival." One of the men said while feeling smug.
At this moment, he was ridiculously proud of the fact that he was in prince Eli's camp.
Right now, he truly felt like he could fly!
Every warrior wanted to follow a powerful laser who had hot manpower and skill.
The many people looked up to the strong, and he was no exception to it all.
In his eyes, even if Eli murdered innocent people.... the strong were always right.
And that was how he perceived the world.
He looked at those around him and felt his heart race a little bit.
Yes!
He had been placed in the winning team.
"Hahahhahahaha!
They're probably crying their eyes out in fear right about now."
"Nah!... I think they might commit suicide instead."
"Pui!
Do those cowards look like they would have the balls to do something as noble as that?"
"I agree!
It hasn't even been long since we arrived, and they were already running for their lives.
Tsk!
What a bunch of wimps!"
"I reckon that we will be able to deal with them within the next 3 hours."
"Please!!
Aren't you giving them too much credit?
Trust me, it'll be done in 2 hour's time.
"You both are wrong.... it'll only take an hour for us to deal with these sons of a b**chest."
"Hmph!
Want to be?"
"Game On!
Who's afraid of you?
We'll see who will have the last laugh, won't we?"
"Yes!
Let's wait and..."
'Bam!'
'Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!'
--silence--
Everyone had their eyes and mouths opened widely, as they looked at the gruesome scene before them.
(°∆°)
F***!
That could've been them.
They looked at their comrades below and felt all the colour from their faces drain swiftly.
Their lips trembled violently, and their heads fit very lightheaded as they saw the gut-churning scene below.
'Ahhhhh!'
The shrivelled cries of those who had fallen in the trap, echoed out as if they were ghosts who were out to hunt for revenge.
As for the trap, well.... those who were ahead of everyone else, had fallen into a wide, long pit of sharp pointy iron sticks.
The enemy had pinned a large brown tent-like material over the hole and had lightly sprinkled a thin layer of dirt over it... just to camouflage it a bit.
It was only after they had seen their comrades fall below, did they alone see a massive iron board hanging way over the trap.
The thick heavy looking iron bridge was massive enough to allow carriages to pass through it.... and it also had several ropes on all its ends, which were attached to a pulley system on the other side of the pit.
Dammit!
It looked like after crossing over, their enemies had raised the board way up using the rope pulley system.
And now, some of their men had fallen into the spiky pit below.
These cowardly motherf***ers were really something else.
If they got the archers to shoot down the ropes on the pulley, then the bridge might fall in a disadvantageous position to them.
Plus no matter how they looked at it, that iron bridge was f**king heavy, so imagine it dropping down from that height above?
If it fell, it would take more time for them to properly position the bridge so that they could softly cross.
So their only option now was to strategically get to the other side and lower the bridge properly.
Dammit!
.
"C...Captain.... please save us."
"P... please save us."
The men in the pit who hadn't died yet, all spat out blood from their mouths while begging to be saved.
Their Captain in question stopped forward from the middle of the crowd and only briefly glanced at them before speaking again.
"Don't worry.... as our men, we will definitely save you." Captain Belbooza said with no hint of emotions on his face.
As for the men in the pit, just hearing his words alone made them feel like all the pain in their bodies had magically disappeared.
They were going to live!
They looked at Belbooza with gratitude and respect, and couldn't help but struggle to say thank you .... while feeling like they were on cloud 9 right now.
"T.....Thank you, Captain!" They blurted out while gushing out more blood too.
(^_^)
'Captain!
You're such a good man.
