- But it was for a long time, - Ramkeg has again interfered. - Now anybody a paw does not dare to stir. Hardly that - villains
threaten to fill in with black oil incubators in which small spiders are deduced, or to blow up the trotyl mines put under
platforms for young growth. And about ten years ago they funs for the sake of have brought down weight of salty water in a
foundation ditch in which thousand our females prepared for execution of eggs...
In a word, unfortunate Spajda lives nowadays in a gloom of incessant villainy. However, mass beatings as though have
stopped. A great Octopus together with traitor Kregom and extreme Freckled Skolopendroj operate in relation to spiders by a
principle of one our ancient dictator: "Hjakuse korosadzu ikasadzu" - "do not kill the lackey, but also to live to it do not
give".
- Such is position, - has concluded the story a leader of Makomber.
Vanja has been stunned. At it the head around went from all these zhestokostej and umertvy, and all these millions and
hundred thousand years did not keep within in any way in consciousness. It has cleared the throat, has shaken by a head
and skazal: - It is necessary to help.
The leader of Makomber has shaken plechami: - Certainly! Otherwise our stay here loses any meaning. But it is necessary to
think over and weigh all carefully...
- And I so though am now ready! - declared Two-headed Jul and has begun to throw back with a delay back feet the dust
which has accumulated on a floor.
- What udalets! - has reverentially hissed Ramkeg.
Vanja has involuntarily giggled, and a leader of Makomber it is impatient proiznes: - do not play the fool, Jul. Sit down, please.
We will talk seriously.
What questions are? - The question such, - has told Vanja. - Where we, actually, now are? At once after capture of Spajdy
gangsters have begun suit to themselves a cosy nest. As the Great Octopus had disgust for ocean open spaces (and to
open spaces in general), the place has been chosen on plateau in the centre of the most extensive continent. Within several
years the fortress on which building many thousand spiders were lost from an exhaustion has been built, and survived have
been interrupted for secret preservation. A fortress magnificently named the Citadel. That part of the Citadel which acts over
plateau, looks like a ledged pyramid in one hundred metres in height, it from the squared basalt blocks is combined, on the
top ledges guns and the rocket installations which have been removed with space drednoutov are placed. In basement
floors of the Citadel warehouses, prisons and pytochnye chambers, as usual, are equipped. We are just in one of these
basement floors. Above barracks and kantiny for tarantulego troops, still above - laboratories Iskusnika Krega and a fetid
dwelling of Freckled Skolopendry, and on the top - apartments of the Great Octopus settle down. Apparently, to take the
Citadel outside it is impossible if not to apply the forbidden kinds of combat material, like nuclear shells or antimatter radiators.
To take the Citadel from within...
