Chapter Eighty-Six: The Terrible Vera
"Alright, brothers, we're now in the enemy's range, and now we need to keep a low profile in everything we do!" Kordak shouted at the top of his voice.
"I don't think you're the least low-key, right?" Vera said coldly as she looked at Kordak. Before the mission began, Kordak had tried to persuade Vera for a long time to keep her in the fortress. But the woman didn't agree to anything, and the two of them almost didn't bite into it. But if you only talk about the sharpness of her teeth and nails, if Vera ranks second, no one dares to rank first, so in the end, Kordak is very reluctant to bring her over.
"Aren't I here to set the mood up......" Cordak looked aggrieved.
This was the third day of their departure, and now they had walked out of the Costa Canyon and came within the alert range of the Stoke Empire. As the leader of the squad, it is naturally impossible for Kordak to just take his team around blindly, and then rush up and slash when he sees the target snort. Even the bandit leader knows how to use stratagem and tactics, and he, Uncle Kordak, naturally has to use his mind flexibly.
So, in the past few days, he has been trying to get acquainted with everyone in the team. Their habits, abilities, strengths, and shortcomings, although they have already been known at the time of selection. But for Kordak, that kind of one-sentence explanation is far from enough.
He needs to accurately grasp the characteristics of each member of the team, and only in this way can he give full play to the strength of his team. It was a very painful job, because the guys Alexander brought out seemed to be wooden people. Kordak asked, and they answered honestly, and Kordak joked with them, and they wouldn't even curl the corners of their mouths.
The two-day exchange made Cordak feel as if he was talking stand-up comedy, boring and boring. But for the sake of the team, he could only bite the bullet. As a result, his own behavior has become more and more bizarre in the past two days, and he has faintly begun to develop towards the appearance of Malolet.
"Alexander, how fierce this kid usually is to his subordinates......" Kordak sometimes couldn't help but think to himself. In fact, he completely blamed Alexander, because the direct person in charge of this squad was Just, that is, all these people were brought out by Just, and a stubborn and old-fashioned person like him brought out his subordinates were not like this, which is called a strange thing.
"It's not easy to be a boss...... Regna was a little sympathetic to Cordak. He set off with Kordaq Squad, and would go it alone when he arrived at the designated location.
"Good brother, you still know me......" Cordak burst into tears, in the past two days, even Vera and Alberon have not praised their own scenes, only his little brother Regner has occasionally made a cameo appearance for himself, making him feel that he is not a special idiot.
"So keep trying, boss......" Regnar said "cherished" on his face, and he said to Cordak, "The road ahead is different, I should go it alone." ”
"Little Lei ......" Vera was still a little uneasy.
"Sister Vera, it's okay, I might even be back before you!" Regner gave a reassuring smile.
"I must come back alive!" Vera said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry!" Regner replied with a smile, he nodded silently at Kordak, then turned to Alberon in the distance and said, "Hey, Eberon, I'm leaving." ”
"Oh, goodbye, I'm not sending you away. Alberon replied habitually, and then he suddenly froze, "Hey, where are you going?"
Regner's operations were the most secretive, with no one except for Team Kordak, Alexander, Tamro, and Justter knowing his movements. This was for Regner's safety, but also to ensure that the assassination could be taken by surprise.
Regner didn't say anything when he heard Aberon's inquiry, but waved his hand on horseback without looking back.
"Pretending to be ...... again" Aberon was full of black lines, but he didn't run to ask Kordak, since they didn't take the initiative to explain, presumably Regner's actions couldn't be told to others.
"Captain, it's midnight, why don't you let the brothers set up camp and start resting?" a knight who looked to be about the same age as Kordak came over and reminded him, his name was Jeff, and because he was over forty years old, he had a lot of combat experience and good prestige, so Kordak appointed him as the vice captain of the team.
"......" Kordaq thought for a moment, but shook his head, "Inform the brethren that we are still going for an extra two hours tonight. ”
"But...... This is already an extra three days of marching in a row, and if this continues, the overall strength of the team may be affected. Jeff reminded.
"No, the people present all have at least level 11 strength, and riding on horseback for an extra two hours a day shouldn't have a big impact on them. Kordak shook his head: "But we need to rush to the specified location early, after all, it is the scope of activity of the Stoke Empire, there are too many variables, if I don't go over to familiarize myself with the environment earlier, it will be difficult for me to relax." ”
"In that case, we obey. "Jeff very calmly accepted Kordak's order, which was previously requested by both Justt and Alexander, and during the mission, Kordak could make suggestions, but if Kordak made a decision, then they had to obey.
"It's really disciplined. Cordak couldn't help but smack his lips as he watched all the members calmly accept his orders.
"That's, it's like you, lazy all day long, sleeping without even washing your feet. "Vera reveals Kordak's old bottom.
“......”
In this way, under the orders of Kordak, their squad has been on a rapid march almost exclusively for the past few days. So, when arriving at the intended ambush site, Kordak was almost a day earlier than previously stated.
"Those three convoys basically took the official roads of the Stoke Empire, but this area was destroyed by the previous war. If you choose an ambush, it's a really good place. "Kordaq looked at the surrounding terrain and noticed that there were quite a few hills in the vicinity.
There are pros and cons to this more complex terrain, with the advantage that they can make full use of the environment to hide before an ambush, and the disadvantage that it is easy to hide - if an enemy sets up an ambush here, they will also be difficult to spot.
"......" Kordak frowned and thought for a while, then couldn't help but shake his head: "It would be a pity if Xiao Lei would be much more convenient here...... Connor. ”
"I'm here, Captain. A warrior named Connor approached.
"You sneak over and scout carefully, and you have to search the area. "Kordak drew a rough line. He knew that this Connor himself was a thirteenth-level warrior, and he had also practiced stealth and camouflage, although it was not as good as Regner, but it was much safer than a five-five-year-old man like Kordaq to go out and run blindly.
"The range is large and will take a lot of time. Connor said.
"I know, that's why I've been asking for a quick march these days, don't worry, we have plenty of time. Kordak patted Connor on the shoulder, "But you're the only one in our team who can sneak, so let's work hard." ”
"Okay. Connor nodded.
"If it's just stealth, I'll do a little bit too. "Abron came over at some point.
"You?" Kordaq was stunned, "Why are you sneaking too?"
"Why wouldn't I, did you ask me......" Alberon was helpless, Kordaq had only been interested in understanding the abilities of the other members for the past two days, but had forgotten his old friend. In fact, it's no wonder that he and Kordak are also old acquaintances, and Kordak subconsciously thinks that it is normal to understand all his abilities.
"How far can it go?" said Kordak, still a little uneasy.
"I can't be as silent as Ray. Even though Regner had told Aberon his real name two days ago, this guy still habitually called him Ray: "Barely able to have a level of seven or eight, it's enough to do reconnaissance." ”
"Very well, then you can go. Kordak said, "You and Connor divide the work, remember, and check carefully." ”
"Got it, go back and invite me for a drink!" Alberon said as he walked.
"Are you overly nervous?" asked Vera after everyone had left.
"I don't think so. Kordak frowned and said, "We stole the information, which means that the Stokers knew that their delivery of supplies and the arrival of Harden had been leaked." Although Alexander said that this Harden is a bit arrogant and conceited, he will not necessarily pay attention to these small details. But I don't think arrogance is stupidity, and if it were me, I would probably use these baits to lure Alexander out and find another chance to kill him. ”
"Then there's a good chance we'll be ambushed?" Vera was now worried again.
"That's not going to be, if Harden is a little more secure, he might just change the route. "Or, as Alexander said, Harden was so confident and arrogant that he was confident in the guards his convoy had arranged, and he didn't set up an ambush at all, and he didn't change the line," Cordak said. But I think Harden would be a bit stupid if he did. ”
"Is that really the case?" Vera winked, "I always felt like you had something to hide from me." ”
"You're too careful. Kordak's eyes twinkled.
"Cut, God mysterious. Vera muttered dissatisfiedly: "If you can't say it, you can't say it, hide something from me." Don't think I don't know, the afternoon before I left, Alexander talked to you again in secret, and he must have said something secret!"
"Why is this woman so good at her brain now?!" Kordak looked at Vera and couldn't help but be secretly shocked......
