The Knight's Journey to the Empire

I have to say, the cave where the former security team hid is really hidden!

Soran just shook his head after seeing it, totally not understanding how they found it!

First of all, the entrance of this cave is hidden in an inconspicuous little valley!

Secondly, the area of ​​this hole is not large, and its diameter may be less than ten feet!

Finally, at the entrance of the cave, there is a large stone blocking it from below and tree roots and vines covering it from above, making it extremely concealed.

If you don't pay attention, you might just ignore it and walk past it.

Ramos, that idiot, was leading the team forward very cautiously at the front.

He keeps his eyes and ears open and is extremely vigilant!

Then as expected, half of the team was led too far by him!

If Martin, who was observing the situation from above, had not thrown a stone to remind him and pointed out the location of the cave.

Maybe the whole team went too far and he didn’t even notice!

Seeing him pretending to be calm as he led his men back from the front, Soran himself felt embarrassed for him!

I really want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into!

It was now almost evening, and the security team led by Benny was preparing to eat in the cave.

This security team, composed of ruffians and hooligans, had no vigilance at all, and the secret sentries they had deployed were also eliminated.

So they did not notice the arrival of Soran and his group.

Moreover, they never thought that even though they were hiding in such a secluded place, Sauron could still bring people up.

So this sudden encounter was without any surprises. As our own personnel charged in unexpectedly, and then under the slogan of "Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed" led by Sauron...

A group of former security team members who were chatting and laughing and eating leisurely were suddenly stunned, and then they were all detained before they could react.

In this cave encounter, with a huge disparity in forces of thirty to ninety between the enemy and us, our army won the battle perfectly with an excellent record of zero casualties and capturing all the enemy troops.

The only drawback is that it is zero death, not zero casualties!

Because one unlucky guy accidentally tripped over a stone and fell when he rushed in.

Not only did he knock out a tooth, but a piece of skin on his hand was also stepped on and peeled off by the friendly soldiers who rushed in from behind.

[Sauron: ???]

..............................

The cave where Benny was hiding was not small except for its small entrance.

The entire cave is divided into one large chamber and several small chambers, seemingly a work of art created by nature.

The largest cave chamber is nearly half the size of a football field and is about forty to fifty meters high.

Moreover, at the top of this large cave, there is a cenote with a diameter of about ten meters. Looking out from the cave, you can clearly see the stars in the sky.

There are also about a dozen other small caves, some large, some small, some deep, some shallow.

The largest one is the size of a basketball court, and the smallest one is about 20 to 30 square meters.

The deepest small cave is about five or six hundred meters long and winds its way straight into the mountain, finally connecting to an underground river.

As soon as Soran walked into the entrance of the cave, he could hear the sound of rushing water!

Moreover, the cave wall was filled with water vapor and was very moist. Sauron could get a handful of water just by touching it!

Fortunately, except for this small cave that leads directly to the underground river, all other caves are closed and there are no passages connecting to the outside.

..............................

In the center of the largest cave, the former security team had simply cleaned up the place and made a relatively flat place to stay.

At this time, all the prisoners had their hands tied behind their backs and were gathered there, waiting to be interrogated by Ramos and others.

Soran took Thomas to wander around in the cave, marveling at the magic of nature and the uncanny workmanship of nature.

It's getting late now, and it's not safe to go down the mountain at night.

So Sauron and his group planned to rest here for one night and go down the mountain at dawn tomorrow.

At this time, Ramos, who was in charge of the interrogation, ran over in a hurry and said with a sigh: "Master, there is a problem! There is bad news!"

"Hmm?" Soran frowned. "What's going on?"

"Master, we have interrogated carefully. Among these people, there is no Benny, the captain of the security team?" Ramos said helplessly.

"Are you sure?" Soran obviously didn't believe it!

"It's confirmed. I asked my men to check one by one. There's nothing there!"

Neither Soran nor Ramos had ever seen Captain Benny, so they could only ask the native men of the former White Bear Commander to confirm.

"So is it possible that he was not here originally, but went out?" Soran continued to ask.

"We asked the prisoners, and they all said that Benny was eating with them before we rushed in, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye!" Ramos was also helpless.

"That means he is still hiding in this cave. Send someone to look for him!" Sauron gave the order without even thinking.

"Young Master, our people have searched several times and found no trace. And we have people guarding the entrance of the cave all the time, and we didn't see anyone else go out!" Ramos said helplessly, then looked up at the sinkhole above his head.

Soran kicked him directly and said angrily: "Don't look at him. If he can get out of there, I will show you how to eat shit upside down!"

Then he took the lead and walked towards the group of prisoners over there. Ramos smiled and followed behind him.

"Master, Benny is not here!" When Wolfe saw Sauron coming, he immediately reported to him.

"Yes! I already know!" Soran replied softly, then looked at the group of prisoners: "Call out the captain among them!"

"You! You! And you! Come out! Hurry up!" Wolfe began to call out people.

Soon, three people among the group of prisoners were called out and asked to stand in line.

"Master, they were all squad leaders of the security team before, and they were considered to be Benny's confidants!" Wolfe gestured to the three captives.

Soran took a look and began to question the first person: "You only have one chance. Tell me! Where is Benny hiding?"

The man was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Sir, if I tell you, can you not kill me?"

"Ha!" Soran sneered with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then said: "That's a good question!"

The man suddenly laughed happily.

But then, Soran said something that made him feel ambiguous.

"But don't ask next time!" Soran said coldly, and then he gestured to Ramos next to him.

Before that person had time to think, a "swish" sound was heard nearby!

Ramos raised his sword and stabbed the man in the heart, going straight through his chest. The man died instantly, blood gushing out!

then……

Soran was stunned!

The prisoners were stunned!

Even our own people were confused!

Everyone present was stunned!

This huge cave suddenly became completely silent and everyone was in complete silence!

No one expected that Ramos would be so cruel and kill with just one sword!

Without even a frown on his brow!
