Mario rushed into a small courtyard near the center of the village, and was about to enter the house to search, when he heard the excited voice of his companion from an abandoned barn next to him: "I've found the tunnel!"

"No!" Mario's face darkened.

Before he could react, Mario heard a voice from a dry well not far away: "I've found the tunnel too, here!"

"I ......"

"There's it here, too, come on......"

Mario's face darkened completely.

......

More than an hour later.

Mario was in a terrible mood and stood in the small square of Raven Village.

It was too bad that there were five tunnels in and out of the village, and none of them were found by him.

Of course, there was someone who was in a worse mood than him, that is, the more than a hundred villagers of White Raven Village who had been forcibly gathered in the square, were being vigilantly guarded by the soldiers of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment, and they were seriously suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

After all, there is a tunnel outside the village, so to speak, it doesn't matter. There is a tunnel in the village, which can also be said to be unaware.

However, there are six tunnels inside and outside the village, which is a bit difficult to explain. Could it be that the village has made a feud with the marmot, and the marmot leads the entire family members to hollow out the bottom of the village and bury the entire village?

Funny!

Don't be funny!

Let's be honest!

At the corner of the square, the commander of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment stood straight, squinting at the suspicious White Crow Village villagers. It stands to reason that the interrogation is not his responsibility, but he really doesn't want to waste any more time here, and is ready to solve it as soon as possible so that he can return to the battle sequence.

Fighting is what an officer is all about.

"Whew-"

The head of the regiment took a breath, slowly exhaled, and opened his mouth to speak, his voice a little hoarse and cold.

"Tell me, do any of you people here know anything? Don't tell me, there are six tunnels inside and outside the village, and you don't know anything. Then I will be very angry, because you are insulting not only my eyes, but also my wisdom.

You don't think I'm a fool, do you? If you don't, then it should be clear that I don't believe you're innocent. Even if you are really innocent, there are so many passages near you that you are not noticed, you can be condemned!

Okay, that's all I have to say, it's time for you to talk. If you take the initiative to say it, you can consider pardoning, and if you don't take the initiative, then send it to the prison, and the warden will have the means to let you say it. ”

Listening to the words of the commander of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment, the villagers of White Crow Village trembled and were extremely frightened. In the crowd, sweat beaded on the short and fat Winter face, scared and annoyed.

Annoyed, really annoyed.

He was not present when he was found outside the village, he was sleeping in the house, preparing to be on duty for the night, and it was someone else in the village who reported the village chief.

Then the cavalry entered the village, and he tried to stop it, but he was almost whipped.

Immediately after, one tunnel after another was discovered, and he and the people of the village were forcibly brought here.

This is almost the case: before going to bed, he is still very likely to take over the title of village chief and become the lurking baron of the kingdom of Sika, only to wake up as a prisoner.

If he said that he did something wrong, he would admit it, but the problem is that he didn't do anything wrong, he just slept.

That's not fair, isn't it?

Is his future gone?

He is unwilling, absolutely unwilling!

Grit your teeth and inhale!

"Brush!"

Winter stood up abruptly and looked directly at the commander of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment: "My lord, I have something to say! My lord, I have a secret to tell you!"

"Even, not bad. The head of the regiment approved.

The village chief looked at it quickly, glared at Winter, and threatened, "You dare!"

"Hmph. Winter snorted coldly, clenched his fists tightly, reduced the trembling amplitude of his body, and said, "My lord, in fact, all of us are guilty, we are ......"

As he spoke, the faces of the villagers of White Crow Village changed, and the faces of the commanders and soldiers of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment also changed.

......

In the afternoon.

Reef Fort, Command Room.

Shortly after lunch, Sauron took Richard to the sand table and explained the latest movements of the army and how to take concrete actions to annihilate the army infiltrated by the Kingdom of Sika.

In the middle of speaking, the white-robed staff officer walked in, with a strange expression, and did not look at Sauron, but looked straight at Richard, as if he was looking at a monster.

"What's wrong, Mr. Kun?" asked Sauron, turning his head to ask.

"That's right, General. The white-robed staff officer replied, "The Red Maple Cavalry Regiment has a result in the search of the village." ”

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes. The staff officer nodded.

Sauron raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised: "Did you really find the authentic again?"

"Yes, and more than one. ”

"More than one, how many?"

"There are five in total, and if you count the ones that were discovered at the beginning, that's six. ”

"Rokujo?!" Sauron suddenly stopped talking, "......"

In the command room, the rest of the staff officers and civilian personnel who were busy also subconsciously stopped their work, and they all turned their heads to look at Richard, their eyes flickering, and they stopped talking.

In the end, it was the white-robed staff officer who asked the question that many people wanted to ask: "Your Excellency Richard, may I ask...... Why are you sure that there is more than one passage in the village? After all, you only arrived at the front line yesterday. ”

"Is this...... Didn't I say it, I just think that direction is not very auspicious. Richard said indifferently.

"You ......" The staff officers were not calm anymore, their expressions were extremely complicated, and their eyes seemed to say: I used to be superstitious about logic, and I didn't know what the truth was until now.

This...... Very convincing......

"General Sauron, if there is nothing else, can I leave now?" Richard did not continue to let the staff officers watch, after all, his wish was not to be an animal in the zoo, and asked at the right time to look at Sauron.

Sauron listened, but did not refuse: "Of course, Your Excellency Richard." You can go back to rest, and this time thanks to you, you can find the tunnel so quickly, so as to avoid future troubles, and the alliance will remember your credit. ”

"It's nothing, it's what I'm supposed to do. ”

"Goodbye then, if anything happens in the future, I'll send someone to inform you. ”

"Good, goodbye, General Sauron. Richard waved out of the command room and walked to his temporary home in the reef fort, thinking to himself: What should be the next thing, right?

As a result, just a few hours later, he realized that reality was slightly different from what he had thought.

He was having dinner in his dwelling, and halfway through it, he was urgently invited back to the command room by Sauron.

"What's wrong?" Richard asked with a puzzled look on his face as he stepped back into the command room, "Something happened, and the battle was lost?"
