Chapter 318: Failed Sneak Attack
Eight days later, Stant and Dilloth returned with their own men without incident.
In addition to their own men, they also brought back all the civilians of the other two towns and one village in the Haloville territory, as well as some supplies. All the population is gathered here in the main town of Queenston, and there are about 3,400 people in total.
Of course, the nearly seven hundred members of the Scarlet Cross after the battle were also included.
The battle for the territory ended in victory, and it was time to set off for home. It would take nearly a month to travel back and forth on the road itself, and after a pause of more than a week here in Queenston, it must be the last month of spring when I get back.
Today, the size of the Scarlet Cross team has grown to 1,400 people, and half of them are Quinston mixed in place. After counting the supplies, everyone left the empty town and embarked on a half-month journey home.
Although the relocation was mandatory, the people of Quinston were not treated harshly, and the members of the team were scattered on both sides, sandwiching the ordinary people in the middle, in order to protect and monitor and stabilize the order.
The journey was relatively smooth, but on the third day of the return journey, a scout reported that a large group of unknown people appeared on the right side of the procession.
The presence of a large group of people in the wilderness is often a sign that someone is not good.
However, before Thor could make relevant arrangements, the other party's envoys had already caught up with the team.
It would not be appropriate to say that he was a messenger, because it was Petty's father, Kenalzer's lord, Braun's old fellow, who was in the lead.
"Hah, Lord Thor, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. Hearing the battle report of victory, I was really honored to be in the future, and my heart couldn't be calm for a long time. Braun smiled hypocritically, and as soon as he got into Thor's tent, he pulled out an egg.
The corners of Thor's eyes twitched, this old thing had obviously packed everything up and was waiting to go back to Liberty City with the team.
"Are you so impatient?" said Thor, teasingly.
"My people have all been brought, and there is not even a single hair left in the territory, even if you use the lord's position to deceive me, I will have no way out. Braun spread his hands without embarrassment, with an expression on his face that even if you lied to me, I would live with you until I was poor.
Although Saul had a look of disdain on his face, seeing that the old ghost Braun was so sensible, Thor was actually happy to death in his heart.
Otherwise, when I go back, I will immediately have to face the resettlement of the new leaders, war pensions, rewards and punishments, funerals, lords' speeches, this year's outlook, the mixed integration of the military department, and the lack of buildings to appease the people's hearts and settle the new people.
There are so many things, just imagination can make Sol Sheng unloved, but now, the high-quality tool man has arrived.
Thor suddenly felt in a good mood, and even looked at Braun's ugly old goblin face.
Along the way, Saul began to introduce key managers to Braun and get acquainted with him, paving the way for his next move.
After Kennaze's more than 2,000 people merged into the main team, the number of people in the team suddenly skyrocketed to nearly 6,000. The speed of the return journey was slowed down by the bloated population, but fortunately there were no terrible dangers in the wilderness.
After more than half a month of slow movement, the huge team finally returned to Liberty City.
The first to greet him was the enthusiastic cheers of the people, but Thor didn't listen. In the eyes of everyone's dense welcome, Thor's figure had long since disappeared, and he even put a cloak on his head, and finally managed to escape from the crowd.
"Now is the time to raise your prestige and win hearts and minds, and tomorrow I will officially announce the succession of my lord. I'm optimistic about you, come on, old goblin!" Thor and Staunt's key managers said hello, and finally threw the pot on Braun's head.
Sneakily navigating the alleyways with his hood buckled, Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the long-lost freedom.
There was nothing urgent on his hands, Thor just felt that he needed to be healed right now.
This healing does not refer to physical wounds, but to the spiritual aspect. Speaking of healing, Thor thinks that there is nothing more healing than the shiitake mushrooms that sneak up on his house, and he misses them a lot after not seeing them for more than a month.
So Thor planned a strategic route in an instant, and the first stop was the merit exchange point.
Unfortunately, when they rushed to the place, they found that Beth was not there, and only a few women took off Thor's clothes with starry eyes.
Rushing to the makeshift town hall again, Petty is not there. Rushed to the magic classroom, and Ygrete was not there.
Did these three shiitake mushrooms go shopping together to see the excitement?
Thor was a little frustrated, and the Great Demon King said that he was angry at the moment.
But now Thor didn't dare to take the initiative to look for it on the street, so as not to be caught and entangled by civilians, so he could only use his claws at night to tell the mushrooms about the danger of running around. Then Saul was saddened to find that he suddenly had nowhere to go.
I'm really the most aggrieved lord, forget it, let's go back to the lord's mansion where no one is there and hide first.
Seeing a black-robed freak rushing towards the lord's mansion, the two gate guards who were listening to the cheers of the territory were startled and hurriedly asked. Thor ripped off his hood, then raised his hand to signal the guards to keep quiet.
"Is anyone in the house now?" asked Thor before entering. wonderful
"Tell my lord, the ladies and the two maids have already gone out in the morning, and now only Miss Eaglet, who has returned in the afternoon, is in the house. The guards saluted respectfully and replied, they had long been accustomed to the elusive style of the lord.
"Well, you've worked hard. Thor patted the guards on the shoulders, then grabbed a handful of silver coins and shoved them into the two guards.
After pacing through the gates of the Lord's Mansion with his hands behind his back, Thor immediately changed to a wild run, aiming straight for Ygrit's room.
So opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Thor is thrilled that there is finally a mushroom monster that is about to be caught.
Like a professional Assassin, Thor scurried through the way, quickly reaching the door of Ygrete's room. Listening with his ears close to the door, but not hearing much movement, Thor estimated that Ygrita Shiitake might have come back for a nap.
Sleep well!" Thor rubbed his palms excitedly, revealing a smile that only the abyssal evil god had.
Twisting the doorknob slightly, I found that the door was locked, but it was not a big problem. He currently has two options, either go around to the back of the house and pick the windows, or use the crappy lockpicking technique he learned from Shoguez before.
Thor chose the second option, in case he made a noise while opening the window, it wouldn't be fun to wake up Igret.
If you want to talk about sneak attacks, the most interesting of the three shiitake mushrooms is Iglit, because the little shiitake mushrooms will be scared to pee.
I found a lock-picking tool that I hadn't used much and squatted at the door of the room, and it wasn't until I was sweating that I finally succeeded in opening the door.
Taking a deep breath, Thor couldn't help but begin to fantasize about the explosive consequences of his next pounce.
Scream, shiitake mushroom, the Great Demon King is here.
When Thor carefully pushed open the door, he was stunned to find that Ygrit was not sleeping.
I don't know if I haven't slept in the first place, or if I just woke up.
At this moment, she was humming a fairy song softly, wearing a small, almost transparent gauzy pajamas, and standing in front of the crystal mirror with a dress in her hand, gesturing at herself. From time to time, I would put down the skirt I was not satisfied with and pull another one from the bed.
The mirror wasn't facing the door, so she didn't have a vision to see herself, chance!
Softly arching the door, and then gently pressing the door against the panel with his back, Thor was careful and cautious for fear of alarming his prey.
However, the moment the door closes, it is as if some mechanism has suddenly been triggered.
"Quack ~ quack ~ quack. The sound of violent crows suddenly echoed through the room, as if coming from all directions.
What's so ...... Who raised the crows?
Thor was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up to look around, but unfortunately the source of the sound was unknown, it seemed to be some kind of magic warning device?
Seeing that on the other side, Ygrete was already holding a skirt in one hand to block her chest, and holding a wand in the other hand as if she was brewing magic, Thor was startled and hurriedly lifted his hood and took two steps forward.
Unexpectedly, this shiitake mushroom monster was quite brave, and he actually chose to fight, unlike Petty shiitake mushrooms who only screamed and bitten.
"Ahh Well, judging from this long cry, this mushroom monster has not a small lung.
I buckle the hood and you fight, I lift the hood and you scream, what is the reaction?
"I thought you'd throw yourself into my arms with tears on your face, but it made me sad when you saw me screaming!
"Hmph, you're trying to scare me again! Fortunately, I heard about your evil deeds from Sister Beth and Petty beforehand, and told you that this warning spell is specially prepared for you, cats, dogs, and demons!" said Eaglet, wrinkling her little nose.
Obviously, he was targeted.
It seems that his information has fallen into the hands of the mushroom monsters, and it has been repeatedly discussed by them.
Thor held his chin in a serious face, wondering how to win this family war in the future. Thinking that he was alone, but he had to deal with three treacherous shiitake mushrooms at the same time, it was really a long way to go, and Saul gave himself a handful of blood flan flowers in his heart.
"By the way, I'm a demon king, you don't think I'm only capable of this, do you?" Thor looked up.
"Since the sneak attack failed, there is only one way to fight to the death from the frontal battlefield. Thor stretched out his two paws, bared his teeth and let out some unknown howl as he strode towards Ygrita Shiitake.
Ygrit clutched her chest and screamed, as if she wanted to rush past Thor with her head down, ready to flee in the direction of the door.
The question was how could Thor let her rush over, it would be useless for her to grow two more long legs.
What's more, her figure is already petite, although the two long legs are slender and well-proportioned according to the proportions of her body, but because of the height difference, in Saul's eyes, they are just two small short legs fluttering there.
