Chapter 354: No Chance of Winning
After dozens of minutes, they finally arrived at their destination.
But Shen Mengting didn't rush to explore the camp immediately, but stopped calmly and tied the horses to a relatively hidden place.
As they ran into the interior of Sauron's borders, all they saw was no longer a muddy field, but a few places that were not dense, but at least thick.
If you put your horses here, you won't be discovered by the enemy. And if you encounter danger, you can also run here quickly, and then choose to escape on horseback! This is the little abacus in Shen Mengting's heart.
"So let's put the horses here!" Shen Mengting said as she spoke, saying that her mount, 'Nasa', was tied to a certain tree.
Qian Hao and Chen Tianhao did the same when they saw this, and their current appearance is quite serious, because I believe these two men know very well what they will face in the future.
"Okay, then......" Shen Mengting looked sharply in the direction of the barracks, "Let's go!"
Seeing the same sharp and fast nodding movements of the two male subordinates, Shen Mengting's heart was filled with warm warmth. In today's hostile environment, the help of companions is limitless.
According to the terrain exploration, Shen Mengting and the others chose a Gobi to look at from afar. The Gobi is condescending and very difficult to spot.
Below the Gobi, of course, is the military camp where the Sauronians are stationed. There were a total of 30,000 troops in the barracks, which Shen Mengting knew before she set off.
There are also many bushes and trees in the Gobi, which greatly increases their concealment, and it is not easy for the Saurons to find them.
After officially arriving at the edge of the Gobi, Shen Mengting fell to the ground vigilantly without saying a word. If you continue to stand like this, it will be too revealing yourself.
Shen Mengting squinted her eyes, she just hoped that the military camp below the Gobi would be completely packed into her eyes, and she didn't want to let go of even a detail.
And Qian Hao and Chen Tianhao were lying on both sides of Shen Mengting in the same way, also looking cautiously observing.
In front of these three people, there is naturally a cliff at the end of the Gobi. This cliff is not too high, and Shen Mengting is estimated to be about seven or eight meters high.
At this height, any one of the three of them would not be fatal enough to fall.
Sauron's barracks were stationed at a distance of more than two hundred meters from the Gobi, so as long as Shen Mengting could squint her eyes, she could see what was happening in the barracks.
That's what she did, and with her constant squinting, she could see almost the whole picture of the barracks.
In fact, not to mention, just from such a glance from the outside, Shen Mengting felt a very restrained feeling from it-the extremely neatly built wooden fence, and the soldiers standing tall and pine at the door. Of course, there are also a few very fluttering Sauron [River Crab] flags!
This is simply the image of a barracks that can be called a model in the army! Shen Mengting couldn't help but sigh like this. At the same time, she also mentally compared their Saran military camp.
Outcome......
The gap is self-evident, the military camp on their Saran side, whether it is the overall temperament or some abilities of individual soldiers, there is a clear gap between them and Sauron's. And this kind of gap will never change with hard work.
How can this be good? Shen Mengting slowly clenched her fists.
The effect of crossing the enemy's border to explore the camp was immediately apparent, and Shen Mengting found the absolute gap between the two groups of soldiers. But it was useless to just find out! she had to find a way to make amends.
For this reason, Shen Mengting began to have a headache again, and her breathing was unconsciously speeding up.
"Wow! Sauron's soldiers...... Look at the two pairs standing at the gate of the barracks guarding the door, this kind of temperament ......" Qian Hao should have also discovered the strength of the enemy soldiers, so he shook his head lightly and released the most intuitive thought in his heart, "Alas! How to describe it!"
"The soldiers of the Sauron Empire are not only known as the best among humans, even if you put them in the whole of Cyllos...... It can also be called the best soldier!" Chen Tianhao also said with a sigh of emotion.
Hearing this, Qian Hao couldn't help but glance to the side, "Wow! I can't see that you know a lot about the Sauron Empire!"
"Of course! The Sauron Empire is quite famous, and it is also one of the most powerful nations in Cellos. Moreover, this country is also extremely martial, and it is claimed that only a strong military can do everything in this world!"
"Oh......? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, right?" Qian Hao blinked quickly.
After all, the world also exudes strength to explain everything. If there is no strong military support, it will be difficult to get things done!" Chen Tianhao's jaw was falling day by day, and he was about to touch the ground below.
On this Gobi cliff, although it has not yet reached the point where the ground is full of grass, it is definitely not a barren sand-like scene. There was still a little grass on the ground, so that the three of them lay on their stomachs tightly, so that they didn't feel a heavy burden on their bodies.
"Oh! It seems like that's really the case when you say that!"
"That's what happened! I've traveled to many countries in Celos, and found that only with the support of a strong military can other countries look up to you. Otherwise...... It's like a meal on a plate from another country!"
Chen Tianhao was not lying, he had been in the Assassin League before. The organization has been found all over the world, so he has traveled to several countries as well.
"Well, the reality is so cruel, isn't it?" Qian Hao's eyelids were drooping. He quickly straightened his head and locked his gaze on the Sauron camp in front of him, "But perhaps it is precisely because of the cruel reality in front of him that Sauron would think about expanding his armaments like this! This world is too cruel, if you don't invade others, then others will also invade you!"
Qian Hao's emotion is absolutely out of place, especially in today's dangerous situation. Therefore, Shen Mengting, who had been silent, had to make a sound.
"All right, two gentlemen, I didn't let you come with me to make any cruel comments. If you really want to talk about it, you can talk about it while you get back to it. ”
After hearing this, the two men also consciously ended the previous topic.
"So...... What should we do now?" After a moment of silence, Qian Hao quickly interrupted the atmosphere. I saw that he quickly glanced at the two people on his left, "At present, our goal can be regarded as achieved! So what do we do next?"
Qian Hao's words made Shen Mengting fall into deep thought, and now they have indeed reached a decision before departure. However, it would be an exaggeration to say that the goal has been achieved.
Shen Mengting continued to look at the military camp not far ahead, "How can it be so simple?
"But even if you arrive, what can you do?" Chen Tianhao's gaze ...... darkened, "It seems to be invulnerable! I don't think even I, an assassin, can go in and investigate!"
"Oh, why? Why can't you be an assassin, don't you have stealth skills?" Qian Hao looked very surprised, and he made a gesture of raising his eyebrows.
"Qian Hao, since Sauron and the others can camp in a grand manner, they must be on guard. Presumably, at the entrance of the barracks, there must be an invisible magic enchantment!" Shen Mengting quickly squinted her eyes again, she could be said to have stared directly at the entrance of the barracks, and her eyes were not scattered to the side at all.
"And that's not all. Chen Tianhao took a deep breath, "The reason why an assassin can use stealth to deceive people is because of his own great strength. However, if the opponent's strength is stronger than that of the Assassin, then the stealth skill is equivalent to nothing. ”
"Oh, really? Then you don't think you can fool the Saurons with your own strength!"
Chen Tianhao didn't answer immediately, but judging from his helpless shaking of his head, the answer was already very obvious.
Shen Mengting was instantly much more disheartened, saying that he had hoped that Chen Tianhao would use stealth to visit the military camp closer! But now in order to take care of his safety, Shen Mengting had no choice but to give up.
"Alas, it seems that there are still many problems?" Shen Mengting's body continued to sink, and her entire front body was completely attached to the ground.
Not long after, she still asked the same question that she had asked in her own Yokoga military camp, "Then you can also tell me now, if the soldiers in this military camp suddenly rush towards us, can we stop it?"
Qian Hao blew out of thin air without thinking, "Why should we block it?
"Hey, I don't mean ...... It's not about us, it's about the barracks we're in!" Because she was too excited, Shen Mengting's voice increased a lot. But in an instant, she realized that if she was too loud, she might attract the attention of the Sauron military camp in the distance. So she quickly covered her mouth, and consciously or unconsciously showed a look of remorse.
"Oh! that's what you're asking!" Qian Hao raised his eyes, "Hmm...... Do you still need to ask? Surely you can't stand it! Actually, before you set off! Oh! No! You should say that when you were in the Yokoga barracks, you already knew the difference in military strength between the two countries!
"I know the difference in military power between the two countries, which is why I ventured to this place. I just wondered, can we find a way to bridge the gap between the two countries!" Shen Mengting shook her arm violently, and the palm that covered her mouth did not leave.
"It's not easy to make up for the gap in military strength!" Chen Tianhao moved his lower body, maybe he felt that it was too tiring to keep a lying posture, "If there is really a way, then who would think about building a strong [River Crab] army!"
"But we can't sit still! Now that we're all here, let's think about it!" Shen Mengting stretched her neck again and looked carefully at the barracks under the cliff.
At this moment, the barracks guards on Sauron's side seemed to be in the middle of the shift, and a small force was walking out of the barracks gate. Then, they stood face to face with the soldiers who were already standing guard at the door.
Shen Mengting was shocked by that sense of seriousness and strength, because the appearance of those soldiers was very impeccable, as if there was no loophole at all. They handed over the head of the squad with great formality, and then changed the entire guard in front of the barracks.
What a terrible self-discipline!Shen Mengting's eyes narrowed again, and sure enough, it was one of the most powerful armies in Cellos. In the case of unsupervised, even if it is just a simple handover, it is so formal.
Alas! If Saran's soldiers had one-third of them, they would definitely not become what they are today! Shen Mengting's eyelids began to droop.
"You're feeling their self-discipline right now, aren't you?"
Just when Shen Mengting was in reverie, Chen Tianhao's question came inadvertently again. However, this time Shen Mengting was also guarded, so she was not too surprised.
"Well, sort of!" she sighed vigorously.
"That's what the soldiers of Sauron look like, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fight such a large territory in such a short period of time!" Chen Tianhao lowered his head slightly.
"Alas!" Shen Mengting sighed helplessly. But she knew that now was not the time to complain, and she had to come up with a way to do it quickly, otherwise they would run away in vain.
"Okay! I don't want to think about anything else now. No matter how powerful or powerful they are, that's not what I should be thinking about right now. Right now...... I only want to know one thing, and that is that the soldiers in this barracks, are there any weaknesses?"
As soon as Shen Mengting's question was asked, the men on both sides of her slowly lowered their heads. The answer seemed to have been released according to the actions they had made—the Sauron soldiers had no weaknesses.
But Shen Mengting didn't think so, she immediately raised an arm, "No! It's impossible! It's a living thing that has weaknesses, how can Sauron's soldiers not have weaknesses?"
"Maybe they have weaknesses, but I think they do, and even if they do, we can't catch them. Because it's still the same sentence, the difference in strength between the two is too big!" Chen Tianhao shook his head helplessly.
Shen Mengting is also clear about this deep-seated reason, but she doesn't want to admit it at this moment, "Could it be ...... Don't we have a chance of winning at all? The soldiers of the Sauron Empire can't be defeated either?"
Excitedly, she grabbed the ground hard, and she pulled out the weeds that grew on the ground.
Chen Tianhao himself glanced at his mouth helplessly, "Actually, I don't have this idea, it's just that ......" He stopped talking when he wanted to, not because he didn't dare to say anything, but because he didn't want to lie at all.
"Oh, why are you so pessimistic! Isn't this war still open? You seem to have lost the war by making a vice!" Qian Hao came to interrupt.
But the effect was almost none, and Shen Mengting didn't even make the same action as before. She was a little tired, and the strength of the enemy made her very tired.
"Marshal ......" Chen Tianhao couldn't help but remind him when he saw this scene. He didn't want the commander-in-chief of the three armies on his side to fall at this time.
Shen Mengting has the fate of the country on her shoulders, which even Chen Tianhao, a non-Saran national, understands very well.
Shen Mengting's immediate wave of her hand also confirmed that she was not so easy to fall. After a few successive ventilation movements, she still returned to her usual sassy appearance.
"Well, no matter how strong the enemy is, let's deal with it aggressively! So, I don't want to say anything more discouragement. Now, I hope to find out the situation of Sauron's military camp well!" Shen Mengting's brows were furrowed, although she didn't look at the men on either side, she clearly spoke in the opposite direction, and she had already re-energized the two subordinates.
Qian Hao and Chen Tianhao also nodded subconsciously.
Shen Mengting's head was lowered a little, in order to make her body more hidden. She borrowed two arms that touched the ground, and kept climbing a little further.
With a few movements, her head was about to cross the cliff in front of her.
Qian Hao and Chen Tianhao did the same, and the two men slowly crawled next to Shen Mengting, and even leaned over unintentionally.
The three heads were dangling in front of the cliff, and they were taking advantage of the high terrain to prevent the Sauron soldiers in the barracks below from spotting.
"What are you going to do?" Qian Hao asked softly.
"Didn't you want to do it, I just wanted to take a good look at everything in this barracks, so I moved closer!" Shen Mengting's current expression was a little empty, as if an expressionless mask was directly placed on her face, "Since you can't think of a countermeasure!...... At least not in vain!"
After exhaling in a low voice, Shen Mengting raised her chin up, "Now I just want to record the situation of this military camp, so that when I go back, can I think of a coping strategy in hindsight!"
Shen Mengting's words still make sense. Anyway, the three of them are here, so how can they come back empty-handed?
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that!" Qian Hao also joined the observation action.
That Sauron barracks should have been stationed temporarily, and many of the facilities were not perfect. However, from the outside, the meticulous and neatly placed wooden fence really shows the rigor of this army.
Shen Mengting sighed again, and she continued to look at the whole picture of the military camp.
Except for the two towering buildings that looked like lookout towers at the entrance, the barracks were almost all wooden fences about two meters high, and small wooden houses for people to live in.
From this point of view, it seems that Sauron's army will not be permanently stationed here.
But there is one thing that Shen Mengting cares about, that is, this military camp seems to cover a very large area, tens of thousands of square meters.
