Chapter 91: The Earl's Domain (Part II)

I led the men across the road that led to the iron gate and came to the other side. After seeing Milk disappear into the darkness with the man, I looked at Christovich, "You go ahead and lead the way." The others followed. Pay attention to the movement around you and try not to make a sound. ”

I hadn't gone far before I realized that the Count's place was actually like a fence off of himself. Because after walking a little way out of the road, I noticed that there was something like barbed wire along the side of the iron gate, and more importantly, there was a moat-like ditch five or six meters wide between us and the barbed wire. And inside the barbed wire, there is a guard tower every other section, and no one can see the people on the guard tower. However, it seems that there is a searchlight on the watchtower.

"How does this look like a concentration camp?" The oil bottle looked at the dark shadows of the watchtowers and spoke.

I looked at him, "Because it's not safe." There are too many enemies, and they are afraid. Otherwise, who wants to be wary of others like this. ”

"The Earl's life doesn't seem to be easy. I thought he was like a big landlord, happy and happy. The oil bottle continued.

"Stop talking nonsense. We will have to wait until the civil war is over and the situation is completely stabilized. Moving on, we walked in the direction of Piaget's market. I said.

So we continued to get up, and just as we were about to move, there was a movement from the barbed wire fence behind the ditch, and I immediately grabbed Christovich, who was about to go out, and motioned for everyone to lie down and not move, when suddenly there was a click, and a bright light came through.

This is the light of the searchlight, and the light is very dazzling, and the watchtower, which could still see the outline in the dark, is now completely invisible due to the strong light, and what can only be seen when you look over there is a dazzling snow.

After the searchlight shone back and forth twice, a voice rang out, "Are you too nervous?" Where is the movement here? ”

"He must have been frightened during the day. It hasn't been long since the gang left, but now should be the safest time, so don't get too nervous. Another voice rang out.

"But I do seem to hear movement outside, like the sound of people talking." This is supposed to be the person who turned on the searchlight and was talking.

"Haha. All right. Then you can see it, there's nothing at all. Maybe it's just a wild cat or a wild dog or something. Turn off the lights. Otherwise, someone from above will come and ask, and you can explain it when the time comes. ”

"That's right. The guy was injured and in a bad mood. Be careful what you say. One of the voices agreed.

There was a click, and the lights went out. Judging from the light bulb, the watchtower was behind the barbed wire fence about thirty meters away from us.

"I said, aren't you tired? It's been a day here, some of you have been fighting for a day and a night, and I really admire that you can still stare at this time with two big eyes and look around at night with an owl. I can tell you, you probably didn't get beaten to death by others, and you ended up dying of exhaustion. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Forget it. Hurry up and rest, hey... It's still the guys from the Oriental Battalion who are comfortable, and it didn't take much effort to scare people away after coming around here, and we have to entertain them well. ”

"Stop complaining. It's not these people, we're still fighting with them. Don't say it, otherwise we will be unlucky again when the people who are inspected hear about us. I'm going to talk to the sentry posts on both sides, lest they make a fuss too. ”

Then the voice over there quickly came down, and it seemed that they not only had people standing guard here, but also people checking the posts everywhere. Those of them standing guard should not be allowed to talk casually, it is estimated that today is the end of the war, and everyone is relatively relaxed. There should have been three people here, only one of whom was dutiful, while the other two looked tired and wanted to rest.

After there was complete silence, I motioned for Christovic and everyone to move on. We got up slowly, then left lightly and continued in the direction we had set

Go.

As I walked, I remembered what the three men had just said. From the conversation between these three people, it can be known that the NATO mercenaries have not left here and have been entertained. In addition, the Earl's gang has clear discipline and rules, and is quite tightly organized. This is to be placed in peacetime, not to mention the daytime, that is, at night sneak attack, it is very difficult to achieve great results, these watchtowers and searchlights will easily determine the location of the attack, maybe in this barbed wire fence is arranged fire points, then it is likely that the night attacker will become the person in the light, and the defender will become the side in the dark.

After about half an hour of moving on, a road appeared again in front of us. We stopped, and then Christovich and I came to the side of the road, and when I looked out, the road seemed to be a small road, and it also branched off from the main road in the direction. The Earl's domain can be accessed after crossing a bridge, but there are also watchtowers and sentry posts on the other side of the bridge, and the lights are directed towards the road leading to the bridge.

I looked at Christovic and said, "Should I go back to the main road from this road?" ”

"In terms of direction, it should be." Christovic replied.

I looked to the other side, and if I continued to look at the barbed wire, the watchtower, and the ditch, I might be able to find other entrances, but now I would like to see the market, the market on the other side of the road in the diagram that Vukovic drawn.

"Go back to the main road. Let's go find that supermarket in Earl's to have a look. I whispered.

Christovic nodded, and after gathering everyone up, we made our way up the trail, and in about ten minutes we were back on the main road. The terrain of the main road is actually higher than the earl's territory just now, but the height is not high enough to clearly see the situation in the territory from here.

After a brief discernment of directions, Christovic pointed to our northwest and said, "If it is as Vukovic said, then the supermarket should be on the other side of the road." ”

"Go over and see. Be careful on the road, especially if you drag the oil bottle, don't talk nonsense anymore. "I finished talking and Kristovich and led the people to the northwest to touch it.

We didn't go far before we saw a sparkling light on our right, to the northwest. It's hard to tell how close we are in the dark, but at least we're sure the lights are the market we're looking for.

We continued along the main road and after two hundred meters Christovic stopped. Then he pointed to the road ahead, "It seems to be a fork in the road, and there is a road to the market." ”

I look ahead, vaguely as if there is a roadblock on the way to the market? I turned my head to look at the woods on the side of the road, "There seems to be a barricade over there, maybe there are guards watching, can you get through the woods?" ”

Kristovic glanced at the woods on the side of the road, "It should be okay in the past." But the road is not expected to be easy. And will it be the same as that over there, or will it be all barbed wire watchtowers separated by a ditch? ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Probably yes." But you have to check it out. ”

"Then let's go." Christovic said as he turned to the woods on the side of the road, and we followed him into the woods.

The road here is really not easy to walk, and the market is also a relatively low road, and the slope in the woods seems to be greater than that fork in the road, and we have to stumble through a potholed downhill before the terrain calms down. When we got down we heard a sound coming from the fork in the road, there were indeed people there, and after a while there was the sound of a car engine coming from that road, and then a car drove over the road and slowed down as it approached the fork. When the car approached the fork in the road, the lights at the fork in the road came on and shone on the car. By the light we could see that there was indeed a barricade over there, and there were four or five men on the sentry. The men checked the car and let it go, and then the lights on the sentry turned off again.

"Damn it. These guys are too careful. Is this light control? The oil bottle whispered again.

"Leave that alone. Let's go to the market first. "Although I said so, I was glad that I didn't make any movement in the night, otherwise it would be hard to say what would happen to us if we were just three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and they were all in a posture of turning off the lights.

After walking almost 500 meters through the woods, we saw the market door. The style of this door is similar to the one we saw earlier with half of the door left, but this one is complete. The light hit the door and illuminated the place about twenty or thirty meters or so. There was a faint sound inside the door, and from this sound, it was someone talking, and it should be louder, as if there was still a singing voice.

"This is the reception? It doesn't seem like the end of the feast and drink is not over yet. The oil bottle whispered.

I ignored him, but this posture seems to be just as he said, so the reception that the sentinels said before may be here, in this market.

"Look close to the market. See what the market looks like. The lights here don't seem to be as strict as those over there, and the harvest should be bigger than there. I finished and looked at the oil bottle, "Don't talk nonsense after you get over." I guess it was because the sentry heard us talking, but luckily they weren't very vigilant tonight. So there's no need not to talk after you've passed. ”

So we slowly approached the market. And when I got closer, I suddenly realized that, as Vukovic said, there was really an open area on the outskirts of the market. On the other side of the open area is a barbed wire fence with watchtowers, but there doesn't seem to be a ditch.
