They didn't say anything anymore, because a figure appeared in the rain. Fei and Ash Rufat both recognized that someone was covering his head with a cloak and running towards him.

The person who came was Eric. The rain was so heavy that when he entered the house, his whole body was already soaked like a cock. However, Eric was not depressed or complained at all. When he saw Fei and Ashu Rufat waiting for him here, his eyes were filled with joy.

"Very good, you're all here!" said Eric. "We have good luck, and now is the best time."

"What is the specific plan?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"There are three camps or cells on the excavation site." Eric picked up a few pieces of broken wood and placed it on the table to show the diagram. "This is a farm camp, this is a ranch camp. The prisoners here are relatively lucky because these two places are not dangerous. So our target is not them, but this camp beside the castle."

Ashu Rufat had been to the excavation site, so he knew what Eric was referring to. This was the most tragic and dangerous prison cell in the entire excavation site, so it was placed in the easiest position to take care of. In any case, there were thousands of defenders stationed in the castle. If there were any abnormal movement, they could be dispatched to suppress it at any time.

However, that refers to the normal situation. If there is any movement in the prison cell in such heavy rain, even though it is a short distance away, the castle may not know it.

"This camp is divided into two sides," Eric continued. "Whenever it's night, there are two guards on both sides, and a total of four guards are responsible for the alert. The excavation work cannot be carried out in such heavy rain, so the arrangement of the guards should be the same as at night. My plan is to take action on both sides at the same time, kill these four guards, and then leave with the tyrants."

"Even if you leave, it's useless. There are still hundreds of defenders on the gate." Ashu Rufate remembered when he came in.

"There are not a few hundred numbers, only about thirty people." Eric replied. "The rain is too heavy and the duration is not certain, so there is not enough supplies there, and hundreds of people cannot be accommodated. At the same time, during such heavy rain, there will be no outsiders to take care of it. So before the heavy rain begins, most of the troops at the gate have withdrawn from the castle."

"After all, there are more than thirty people." It is impossible to kill dozens of people in one go. Moreover, there must be some way to send warnings in the heavy rain.

"Baron Pinold's subordinates will lurk at the door while the heavy rain. We just need to open the door." Eric replied. "Even if they heard a warning, when the castle garrison arrived, we had already escaped. With such heavy rain, footprints and other things would be washed away immediately. They had no place to chase after them. When the rain stopped... several days had passed and everything was done."

"Pinold's subordinate?" Ashu Rufate realized that there was a grammatical problem. Isn't he considered Pinold's subordinate now?

"I have contacted your companions," Eric explained. "A team is waiting outside the gate to help this escape. As for the slaughter criminals, I have notified a few people. But I don't need to think about this, they are all willing to participate in this operation."

"But even if everything goes well in this heavy rain, many people will be lost." Ash Rufate said.

"In this kind of heavy rain, things like separation and getting lost will definitely happen." Eric was not shaken at all. "But that was helpless. As for myself, as long as we can save half of the people, our efforts will be worth it!"

"So what about the specific time of our action?"

"Tonight." Eric replied.

...

On a rainy night, the sky was particularly dark. A few torches hung on the wall and swayed, illuminating the whole room with blood red.

This barracks are actually prison cells that imprison prisoners. Each cell is equipped with a solid iron fence. Five, seven or even nine prisoners live in one cell. However, this number is not certain. Many people die every day, so the cells will gradually become empty. But in the end, a new group of prisoners will always come to fill the number of vacant cages. Few guards care about where this person comes from, and are those truly vicious death row prisoners? Or just other exiles who committed minor crimes, perhaps the unlucky ones who were abducted, and even some fools who voluntarily devoted themselves to religion. Anyway, these people were quickly sent to several nearby cemeteries and as the deceased.

But tonight, all the fences of the cells were opened, shaking in the wind in the empty barracks, making a slight and harsh metal friction sound. The bodies of the guards on duty fell to the ground, and they were all attacked and killed without any notice. This was not their fault. When Eric, a middle-level official of the excavation site (even the commander) suddenly launched an attack, it was difficult for them to defend.

Most of the prisoners stayed here for a short time and saw with their own eyes how many companions died, so it became a very simple little thing to convince the prisoners to leave. Compared to death, walking on a rainy night seemed much cute. Carrie came up with an effective way to guide the loose and huge team. They brought a long string to let someone move forward with the rope.

If there was another opportunity, perhaps the commotion of the prisoners as they advanced would have attracted the attention of sentries outside. However, there were no sentries arranged today, and the rustling sound of heavy rain even blocked the natural sound. The garrison in the castle did not find a great escape under their noses.

"We must speed up, and we are much slower than expected!" Ashu Rufate walked in front of the team, with Eric. There was a long distance from the cell to the gate of the excavation site, and the heavy rain and night greatly blocked the speed of the escapees. "Anyway, we must arrive before dawn! Things will become troublesome at dawn."

Eric also realized that this was inappropriate, but fortunately it was just a degree of inappropriateness. After all, in the rain, you can't look too far during the day. And it was so dark, the rain was so heavy, and the road was so slippery. Although the practice of pulling a rope effectively reduced the loss and dispersion of people, it also had a certain impact on speed.

"At our current speed, it will definitely be dawn there." Ashurufat remembered the structure of the gate. To be honest, there was also considered the internal prisoner's violent escape during construction. If the escape team was really discovered, the remaining defenders would definitely issue an alarm and cut off the iron cables of the city gate. At that time, people would have to climb down from the city wall with the help of ropes. In this way, it would take a very long time for all the prisoners of thousands to escape.

"Really...what should I do?" The rain wet Eric's face and dripped from his jaw.

"Fei and I go there first, and try to open the door first." Ash Rufate said.

"You, but they don't know you? They will be prepared before you act!" Eric said loudly.

"It's not a problem." Ashu Rufate remembered the slackened guards' guards. "Do you know what they used to send the alarm?"

"There is a magic gong on the wall!" Eric replied. "Once it sounds, you will know that something is wrong with the gate in the castle."

"I'll get rid of the gong, and then open the city gate and wait for you."

"I'm not sure your companions will be vigil outside, they may not be there in the morning," Eric said.

"It's okay!" Ash Rufate replied. "My purpose is to destroy the gong and open the door. It doesn't matter if there is anyone outside the door."

Eric hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to the request. "Okay, you can take Fei with you!"

"I'm alone..." However, it was not appropriate for Ashu Rufate to reject this kind-hearted request himself, so he agreed.

When they were discussing this issue, behind the team, two men were walking at the back of the team without saying a word, following a man holding a rope. If a third party looked carefully, they would find that one of the men had a tattoo of a tiger in his hand. This tattoo is often marked among street gangsters, mainly to intimidate ordinary people and show off their status. The two men could vaguely see the symbols drawn with some red paint on their necks - that was the symbol of the death row prisoner. This method was to make the executioner on the guillotine more convenient to cut the right place.

Actually, this is not surprising. Although many prisoners here should not be damned, there are also some who should be damned.

"Brother, can we... escape this time?" One of them said to his companion in a low voice.

"Don't know." Another answered the same. "Do you remember what happened to the gate when we came in?"

"Well, I remember, it's not easy to pass there."

"That Eric must have some plan to pass there, but if there is a little mistake, we will die. We will be blocked in this position and wait for the killing." The person who spoke grinned. "Maybe we can change the method?"

"But there is no way to escape in this place?" In fact, every prisoner has seen the cruel scene of guards torture prisoners who were caught. The only exit here is a large number of soldiers and an insurmountable city wall. It is better to climb over that wall than to climb cliffs on all sides. At least the latter has theoretical possibilities. Of course, there is also a beach on one side. However, this area does not seem very friendly. Guards often pick up broken corpses from the beach that are covered with blood by fish or other chewed, and give the bodies to prisoners to visit to dispel their stupid thoughts.

"I have a way... let's go to the castle to report this." The person who said turned sideways and said in a voice that only his companions could hear. "Tell them about Eric's betrayal...we will definitely get a reward!"

"Reward? But... there is freedom to escape like this. If you stay, even if you get the reward, you may not necessarily have freedom!"

"No, I know that priest...he is now the head of the place, but I have seen him in the past...he is a generous man. If we ask him for freedom as a reward, he will never refuse."

"But, boss..."

"Follow me, or leave here to take a gamble!" The man looked around. At this time, the two of them had already been a short space away from the team. It was raining heavily around. If they turned around and escaped into the darkness, no one could track them down, and they would not even be discovered. Even if they were discovered, they would be understood as being separated from darkness. "You can do it yourself."

His companions hesitated for a while, but finally made a decision.

The two figures quietly escaped into the dark rain curtain.
