Chapter 324: Turmoil and Intrigues
In the next few days, Lin An was quite peaceful. γγ
On the night of the auction, no one noticed that the two of them had returned late, but they heard a word from Helm that someone had come to disturb Sidney that night, but Sidney had already returned to his lodgings and intervened to deal with him.
Later, someone came to talk to Lin An the next day, but Lin An had already exchanged confessions with Sidney beforehand, saying that they were indeed not with his men, but returned to the barracks shortly after nightfall.
In addition, Latin and Helm had made all kinds of preparations beforehand, so the visitors failed to find the flaw and returned in vain.
As for where the news of their late return came from, Lin An didn't suspect Avril's little guy, after all, she and the two attendants returned alone, but she and Sidney were nowhere to be seen, which should have been seen by many people in the barracks.
In fact, Avril's elder brother, Master Kairot, has always been known for his wisdom and tactfulness, and the turmoil caused by the two fronts of the Central and Western Fronts, not to mention that it has nothing to do with their brothers and sisters, even if Avril, he will seal Avril's mouth and treat it as if he didn't do it. γγ
As Lin An expected, what happened on the day of the auction was indeed later.
In addition to the two groups of people attacked by Lin An and Salin, there were several other people who had sold heavy treasures or exposed their rich fortunes at black market auctions, and they were also attacked on the way back to the barracks, including the pair of young masters Hull and little Holman who were competing with each other.
Interestingly, although the attackers of these two groups of people were in vain, compared to the little Holman mage, who could only fight back and finally let some people retreat, the seemingly arrogant Hull captured two captives instead, which shows that Hull is deeply hidden, and is not as pompous and useless as it seems.
Of course, the two captives captured by Herna along the way were also the only two captives in all the attacks, and compared to the small losses of the attackers' side, the gains and achievements of the rest of the attackers were the reason for the huge turmoil in the entire military camp.
According to the investigation after the fact, there were a full nine roads and 134 people who participated in the auction, and they were attacked in the middle of the way.
The four passers-by, including Hull and Little Heman, have basically retained most of their strength, and there is no danger.
Of the other five passers-by, two were proven to have been wiped out, and the scene and bones were found;
Of the remaining three roads, not a single one who reported the news alive was missing.
Of course, the disappearance of everyone is only a verbal statement, and they have not been seen for three days, which basically means that there is more luck in this ice field. γγ
Among these three passers-by, one was the one with the sealed magic water attacked by Lin An, the other was the one who took the staff of death and doom attacked by Salin, and the last one was said to be the person from the side of the Central Army.
In addition, among the people who have been confirmed to be dead, the main victim has an extraordinary background behind him, and a certain military boss is also implicated - Lin An did not notice a person with a similar body shape in the auction, thinking that the other party should also be sitting in the box.
As a result, the attack caused by the black market auction was like a boulder falling into the calm pool of the rear army, setting off a monstrous wave.
And the few passers-by who were lucky enough to return were not all intact, and when they returned to the barracks, the situation of the lost soldiers and the wolf bèi was seen by many people, which caused onlookers at that time, and a lot of real information and gossip were spread.
Therefore, the matter can no longer be covered up at all, and all kinds of hearsay news are flying all over the sky, making the rear barracks lively, and there is no shortage of people who watch the excitement and fan the flames. γγ
The commander-in-chief of the rear army and the intelligence department were directly slapped in the face, and it is said that in addition to the deceased who was known to have a relationship with the military boss, among the attackers, there were two or three passers-by whose status was quite low, and some of them also had a close relationship with the military high-level, and their connections were deep and wide-ranging, so the entire rear army was in turmoil.
In order to thoroughly investigate the matter, the gendarmerie in gray uniforms roamed the barracks all day long, and on the gallows in the playground east of the barracks, the sound of leather whips sounded from dawn to evening, and the screams were incessant.
Inevitably, the situation further expanded, and a gag order was issued at the top, prohibiting people from gathering in private, going out, and discussing any topic related to the matter.
The black market in the Ice Valley has been affected, and it has already been sealed down, and it is impossible to open it again in the short term.
But this did not stop the aftermath of the turmoil, and the soldiers who were restricted from communication were unable to verbally express their gloating about the suffering of those in high positions, and instead made gestures by squeezing each other's eyebrows when they met, and the restrictions on freedom of entry and exit and the ban on the black market left the soldiers with nowhere to go despite their large sums of money, and they had no place to vent their energy.
β¦β¦
"The bullet pressure is that the bullet cannot be suppressed, and the temporary suppression will only make the soldiers below accumulate dissatisfaction...... The damn ice field environment and the battle damage in front of them were enough to depress the soldiers, and with the black market and freedom banned, they almost wondered if they were criminals who were being guarded and detained - these guys had just come down from the battlefield, and their murderous aura had not dissipated, and one was much more troublesome than the three most heinous villains! β
In the warm tent, the curtain was vigorously lifted, and a tall figure strode in as he spoke, followed by another figure dressed almost the same as him. γγ
"Is this the end of the chaos?" Error-free novel network does not skip words.
The burly man behind him and the tall man was slightly shorter than the former, but the muscles on his body were stronger and stronger, and in annoyance, his thick voice unconsciously raised a little.
"The logistics officer of the next brigade under Lao Tzu came to report that the oil-soaked calfskin whips used for punishment in their team have been cut off five of them, and the logistics warehouse in my battalion is in short supply!"
He grumbled, "...... Cali, that pig with dog shit stuffed in his intestines, sitting on that chair and eating a lot of oil and water, dared to meddle in the affairs of the army! β
"Shhh
The tall man took off his heavy leather gloves, lowered his voice to remind the interlocutor, raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered sarcastically:
"He doesn't dare, he has already done it in logistics, this time the nephew of the military boss is missing, he will not seize the opportunity to curry favor, in order to leave an impression in front of the boss...... Hey, if he can get on the line with that big guy, he will have to scrape out some of the oil and water he ate and pay tribute! β
"That's just a drop in the bucket for him, and if he hadn't connived at merchants like vulture crossings, this wouldn't have happened!"
The burly man sneered and said, "If only that big guy didn't get angry with him!" β
"Shut up! Don't mention it! β
The tall man reprimanded, "The oil and water paid by those merchants are shared by the entire military camp, and those military bigwigs are too far away from the front line, and their hands can't reach so long, so they can't control our side, whoever mentions this matter will ruin everyone's financial route, and let the rear have the opportunity to intervene in and share the soup, then it is really the enemy of the entire front-line army-"
"I'm not so stupid, not to mention that my subordinates also want to settle down to eat, even if we don't like Cali, we won't plunge into the battle between the upper echelons and the big guys in the rear, that's the place where death has no place to be buried!"
"It's good that you understand - hey, it's not that easy to do in Cali's position!"
The tall man had no attendant by his side, so he could only take off his armor and say:
ββ¦β¦ Cali may not be willing to leave his position at this time, after all, on the entire front line, the logistics system can get one of the best oil and water, and there will be no chance - but this time, after all, let the bigwigs catch the handle, if he doesn't learn to be smart and take the initiative to give way, then the first person to be used for the knife must be him! β
He said meaningfully, "Cali forcibly intervened in military affairs, obviously surrendering his letter of sincerity to the bigwigs, and he has always reacted quickly, even if he is moved this time, the end may not be too bad." γγβ
"To put it bluntly, our front-line army still lost a city this time!" The burly man said dejectedly.
"The struggle at the top is nothing more than this, before the bigwigs couldn't find a reason to intervene, who told us not to fight, there was such a thing, and the handle was sent to the bigwigs!"
"Anyway, it's the war merchants who are doing bad things!"
The burly man slapped the table, "By the way, what is the situation of the two captives, did you ask about it?" β
"One of them is a mage, and not long after he arrived at the prison, he was brought out to the people on the other side of the mage groupβ"
The tall man snorted, "As for the other one, he spit out after getting some material, but it's not clearer than the news sent by the MI......"
He paused, "You're not no, the people above don't care who his accomplices are, they want to think more, the specific location and access method of the so-called ruins, no matter how bad it is, if someone gave them the return route and specific information of the attacked people-"
He lowered his voice even more, "I suspect that there may be someone behind that auction." β
"Who else could it be? In addition to the bigwigs in the rear, it is the old foxes of the government system - we will not be useless enough to let the people of the other two empires hide a relic under our noses, otherwise the military camp would have been put up for auction now! β
The burly man muttered and asked, "What about the mage regiment?" β
"They came up with similar information, but they just wouldn't let it go, saying that they wanted the mage group to deal with it internally - but they did take it seriously, and sent out most of the remaining men." The tall man replied.
"If it weren't for the fact that they heard that there were ruins, they wouldn't have been so cooperative!"
The burly man snorted, "Hmph, Lao Tzu just can't get used to their arrogant appearance, as if they are more noble than us, and they are procrastinating when they do things outside of business!" β
