[BL] A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Chapter 28

Things are a bit bad.

Sitting at the foot of the cracked, mottled stone wall, Gallan mused.

The original plan was to be taken away, and then make some marks along the way, so that the cavalry can follow behind in secret. But the arrangements are all outside the city of Venal, who knows that those thieves are so bold that they rushed into the city limits.

Although he knew that on the way to Ayr town, there were two cavalrymen who were dressed up and followed behind, but suddenly, the thieves acted quickly, and because he was stunned, he could not leave a clue. , I am afraid that the cavalry are difficult to track down.

Moreover, wherever he is now, Gallan himself is still confused.

After thinking for a while, he got up and walked to the rusty iron railing, holding the railing and looking out.

The gap between the iron bars is not big, but the others are small and can still get out of a head.

So, inside the dark dungeon, a small, fluffy golden head was drilled out of the iron bar, with a pair of big eyes looking left and right, like a little squirrel with a small head sticking out of the hole.

He looked at the children who were curled up in different dungeons and seemed to have fallen asleep, counting them one by one.

Well, probably less than twenty.

Gallan, who drilled his head out for a long time, came to a conclusion.

There are at most twenty children in this dungeon.

In this way, the number is not enough. It is said that the missing and captive children are almost over 60 or 70, and the number here is not even one third.

Then, there are only two possibilities.

The first one is that the kid caught in front has been sold.

The second is that this is only a temporary transfer point, and all children here must be sent to the real captivity.

According to the little girl named Kelly, the children here were all caught in the last four or five days, so the second kind should probably be more reliable.

So what he has to do now is to first find out where he is, and then wait for the thieves to send himself to the captivity site with this group of children.

Thinking about this, Gallan retracted the drilled little head back, intending to go back to squat, and honestly waited for the opportunity.

However, when he walked back along the way, he didn't pay attention to seeing a child shrunk in the corner of the wall and kicked him on the foot. Not only was he tripped, he nearly fell, but he also kicked the child You have to turn halfway.

"Ah, sorry--"

Garran quickly reached out to apologize, but leaned over and found that the kid who had been kicked over did not wake up and still slept deeply, with no response at all.

He felt a little strange in his heart.

Quickly walking back to the stone wall with an oil lamp on, he saw that the old man and the little girl were sleeping, and then turned his head to see that the others were also asleep.

…...Not right.

Gallan remembered that when he looked around, all the children were asleep.

He started thinking that it was just because it was late, so everyone fell asleep. But think about it, even if it is too late, there will always be two children who are too scared to sleep?
