Section 181: Cell division
Before the tenth intersection, Marceau had to stop and hide in the corner between the two small buildings to start waiting - in the next five minutes, the intersection would be overcrowded, with patrols 'passing by' from the east, west, north and south, and the kitten also noticed that there was a white figure on the top of the four-layer support point in the northeast corner observing the crossing, and the figure's head had scattered white tracks, which was supposed to be using a similar ability as dark vision.
Considering that he was still a living cat after all, Marceau finally gave up on the west of the Guò intersection that Eliuk had pointed out earlier, and then rushed north through the Guò alley before the patrol to the west came - first, time was too short, and second, the old man on the top floor, if he was an earth elf, then not only the entire intersection would be within the visual range of his dark vision, but even the rooftops of the nearby twenty yards could be seen.
As for the roof of the two-story building, Marceau had already seen a lot of roofs when he was on the griffin, and this long flat roof, which was probably less than a foot wide, was covered with vines or moss, and the kitten really didn't want to pass there, because it was more dangerous than running in the greasy area, and if he accidentally fell to his death, he would definitely become a strong contender for Ayaroc's annual Darwin Evolution Award.
Besides, if he really fell to his death, the cat cub felt that he had no face to see his family and master, not to mention the vein-cutting knife and red sheets in the drama performance, not to mention the sleeping pill bottle and the suicide note in the book text, all the cat cub could think of was to combine himself with a three-foot-long and three-finger-thick hemp rope into a thin body swaying in the wind - only to hang the southeast branch meow.
After a while. Five patrols pass through the intersection one by one, and they don't find the cats hiding in the characters, and only one of the two giant dogs seems to have found something. It sniffed uneasily, but the sachet Marceau was carrying made it completely unaware of the existence of any 'storytellers' in the area, so the members of its patrol wondered if the dog was trying to be lazy, because the giant dog in another patrol only a few steps away from them did not react at all.
As they dragged the dog away, Marceau emerged from the hiding spot and slipped across the intersection as the guy on the top floor turned around.
Sure enough, what my father said was right. It is true that tactical commanders should not interfere too much in the choice of battlefield commanders, and your choice is safer. Marceau. There's a hint of affirmation in Eleuk's voice: "There will be no patrols passing by within six minutes of the two intersections ahead, you just need to avoid the guards at the support points and the night patrols." ”
"Aeryk, I still want to thank you for helping me make this virtual system, so many patrols. If it weren't for your timekeeping, I would have been in a hurry. Marceau trotted all the way to the next intersection, where a night patrol appeared in the distance, knowing that they were still hundreds of yards away from him, and the kittens unhurried through the crossing, and then crouched over the wall of a house behind the bushes.
When the patrol disappeared on the other side of the intersection, the cat cub looked around, made sure that there was no one, and then climbed over the courtyard wall and continued to walk, the city lord's mansion at the end of the long street did not turn out the lights because of the owner's departure, it was like a lighthouse in the moonless night.
Fortunately, the lord of the castle has a tradition of leaving the castle lord's mansion and going to the fortress to rest after finishing his office every day. According to Uncle Liu, this should be a warband tradition handed down from the first open era, and the warband leader only needs to rest in the fortress, so that. When the battle comes, the warlord will be able to give the first order in the fortress to defend against the invasion. That sounds like a good reason, but if there are too many places to rest, it is estimated that when the battle comes, the heralds of Sakaram will not know where to find their warband.
Having said that, although this castle lord's mansion is only an administrative building, it is located on a small hill. The horizontal base is equivalent to a small two-story building around it, and it is for the convenience of defense. There are no support points around this hill, but support points are established around the slope of the hill, Marceau can only say that these Sakaram guys are worthy of being killed paranoia, from the outer city wall to the core are full of this high-intensity defensive configuration, even those so-called famous generals come over, they have to honestly fill with human lives.
…… Meow, Marceau climbed the eaves of the two-story building and passed over the street lamp, then landed in the dark area, and slowly sneaked down the hill to approach the courtyard, in the process the cat cub detected several traps from the grass - thanks to the perception of the superleaping mortals, Marceau had already spotted them and avoided them when they were still some distance away.
There were also patrols on top of the support points, but the guys were clearly focused on the intersection and didn't expect the cat cubs to 'cross' the intersection the way they had done before.
Fortunately, the city lord of the third open era demolished the wall and replaced it with a half-chested garden-style low wall, and Marceau squatted outside the wall and began to change his boots - after walking such a long way, and crossing the lawn, the soles of his boots must not be clean, and Marceau used these boots to enter the city lord's mansion again, for fear that he was telling everyone that there were uninvited guests, and then the whole city lord's mansion would be as lively as the market area at nine o'clock in the morning.
This is not fun, Marceau is still waiting to sneak to find some evidence, and then secretly leave the city lord's mansion, and finally sneak back to the hotel to sleep well.
When the patrol with the dog left, the kitten cub with new boots trotted over the low wall and rushed to the city lord's mansion, with the help of a kick on the protrusion under the window sill on the first floor, the cat cub jumped high and grabbed the flag pole on the wall, and then grabbed the protrusion under the window sill on the second floor, and one stood up on the window sill, the cat cub pulled out the dagger from the boot, pierced it into the window gap and pushed it up, as expected, the wooden block was picked up by the cat cub.
There was a slight noise from the window that was pushed open, and a loud shout was immediately heard from the platform of the support point not far away: "Who!"
Marceau immediately jumped into the room and closed the window, and as soon as he squatted down, a light shone through, and the voice of the city guard came from the window: "Joey, dear, your neurasthenia should have been cured a long time ago." ”
"But I could hear the sound of the window. The voice that had just shouted retorted with some embarrassment.
"That's right, maybe the wind is blowing, maybe some bug has hit it, you should know, summer is coming. The voice said this, as if to speak to the patrol below: "It's okay, what did we hear here Joey again." ”
Then the kitten heard a scolding voice: "Damn, Joey, thanks to your good voice, we are going to enter the City Lord's Mansion again to check it out." ”
"It's hard work, the second floor is on our side, don't go wrong. ”
"Don't worry, at least I'm not old enough to admit that I'm going in the wrong direction. ”
Marceau put the wooden block back in place, got up and looked at the room, because the light was not turned on, so the cat cub could only confirm the approximate location of the furniture, but after confirming the location of the door, the cat cub reached out and twisted the doorknob gently, and found that the room was locked, and the cat cub listened to the footsteps from the direction of the corridor and the rapidly approaching human white shadow, and the cat cub chose to stand silently behind the door.
The door was soon opened with a lock.
"The door is still locked, what ghosts will come, it's really a frustrating inspection...... Sanel, I'll check the windows, and you go and light the lights. Nor did he push the door to the end, and the city guard who gave the order walked to the windowsill in the dark, and in the process touched the furniture under his feet, which made the middle-aged man, who seemed to be a little old, curse in a low voice.
The other man walked to the other side of the room, and with his back to the door, he was pulling something out of his pocket, as if trying to light the lamp.
After one last glance, Marceau walked out of the room, walked through the uninhabited corridor, and lightly opened the door to the room at the other end of the corridor, and the kitten cub who got in sat on the sofa next to the dark office wall, quietly watching through the wall of the room as the two white figures representing the city guards returned the same way.
"I said that Joey is really not suitable for the night shift, and one day his nervousness will scare us to death. ”
"Old Jack, you have said so much, and this one deserves my approval. ”
The kitten's perception caused him to hear the conversation between the two city guards, and the cat cub raised the corners of his mouth at this remark - the two city guards obviously did not realize that there was an uninvited guest in the city mansion. (To be continued)
