Can you keep an eye out for movement on the street these days?

Thinking silently of Sauron's last words, Richard was a little puzzled and a little curious, and after thinking for a while, he simply walked out of the courtyard and into the street.

The streets of the city of Kasha, as always, are not much different from usual.

Many laborers are constantly coming and going, going to various locations in the city to carry out work - the renovation work of Kasha City, which was completed more than half a month ago, is now being renovated. There is a plan to turn Kasha City into a military city step by step, even if it can't be as impregnable as a reef fort, at least it can't be easily conquered like before.

In addition, there are groups of soldiers patrolling the streets to maintain law and order.

Since the occupation of the city of Kasha, the order of the city has changed greatly, from the original stability to the chaos. The Sika people in the city were afraid of force and did not dare to resist the Alliance's rule head-on, but secretly carried out an endless stream of sabotage - some of them spontaneously, and some of them were instigated and directed by Sika spies.

If it's the former, it's nothing, at most it's a little mess - the strength of a squad, enough to suppress it. If it's the latter, it's a lot of trouble, after all, spies are mostly well-trained and will look for weaknesses to attack. If one is not careful, the water source will be poisoned, or the army food will be poisoned. As a result, the Coalition used a number of troops to maintain order in and around the city and search for suspicious elements.

The main force to maintain order was initially the front-line combat units, which affected the combat effectiveness to a certain extent. Later, because Sauron insisted on stopping the pace of the army and constantly repairing, in this month's time, the second-line troops were gradually replenished and replaced.

The combat capability of the second-line troops is weaker than that of the first-line troops, but the work of maintaining order is not much worse.

At this time, Richard saw that a new second-line army had entered the city and was heading towards the north of the city, which should be for duty.

The composition of the soldiers in this second-line unit is a bit mixed, the leader is a strong man, the second is a petite woman, followed by a cold-faced man and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and behind is a row of public-faced soldiers who are not much angry, as if they are very disgusted to mobilize here.

Richard watched this second-line army go away, and soon saw a new second-line army pass by, and almost a thousand men entered the city one after another.

The continuous replenishment of the second-line troops can be regarded as a change, but for the entire city of Kasha, the impact is not as great as imagined, and this should not be what Sauron is talking about...... Richard squinted in thought...... So the question is, what exactly is Sauron talking about?

Looking around, Richard could feel a noticeable decrease in the temperature of the air around him—but this was the reason for the October Frost Moon, and nothing else.

Sauron said that it can't be that there will be frost on the streets in a few days, right?

Richard couldn't help but shake his head, and after thinking for several minutes he couldn't find any clue, so he simply didn't waste any more time.

Whatever it was, if it would come, then sooner or later he would know. Now don't worry about yourself, let's go back to the path of research.

Speaking of which, in the past month in Kasha City, due to his idleness and the support of the alliance's logistical forces, his research progress has been superb. Not only has there been a breakthrough in "Extraordinary Cohesion" and "Blood Energy Transcendent Factor Binding Effect", but Baltavin's cracking and the improvement of the second-generation energy furnace have also given surprises, all of which have reached a pleasant level - waiting for the harvest results.

If there are no accidents, there will be two more days to achieve a full stage of success, and it should not be too late to see what is happening on the streets of Sauron.

After making up his mind, Richard turned around and went back to the courtyard, found Bibi who was wandering idly, and earnestly instructed: "In the next two days, I need to be very busy with some things, you can settle down and don't make trouble." Of course, it would be better to help me look at the courtyard and not let people disturb me. ”

"Okay. Bibi replied quickly, and then thought of something, and asked seriously, "By the way, this is also a job, so I can't overpay me, right?" As before, I don't need money, just a little food, okay?"

"As long as you don't cause trouble, you can eat whatever you want in the kitchen. ”

"The deal is a deal. Bibi spoke quickly, lest Richard would regret it.

"Then you can take care of the house, I'm going to get busy. Richard spoke, walking to the side.

Bibi loudly expressed her determination behind her back: "Don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will guarantee that no one can disturb you." ”

"Ahem, there's no need to be so absolute, if there's something urgent, tell me or tell me. If you're not sure if it's important, ask Pandora. ”

"Okay, got it. ”

"That's good. ”

......

In the blink of an eye, into the night.

Outside the city of Kasha, in the wilderness, a gravel field.

In the howling cold night wind, a black shadow appeared, crouching on the surface of a stone, squinting in the direction of Kasha City, as if waiting for someone.

After waiting for a long time, the black shadow did not find the target, and clenched his fists angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "Untrustworthy things!"

After scolding, he turned around and was about to leave, but his eyes widened, and he saw a man in a gray robe, who was standing quietly on the side and looking at him, and he didn't know how long he had been here.

"You're ......," the shadow couldn't help but cried out.

The gray-robed man said with a bit of mockery: "Heh, you must be wondering, when did I arrive? Actually, I've been here for a long time. When I get there, I'd like to test your abilities, how long will it take to find me, I guess it will take at least a minute, or maybe three minutes if you have more.

It turns out that I was wrong, your perception is even more sluggish than I thought, and if it weren't for your patience running out, you might have waited all night and didn't notice it. ”

The shadow's face turned red, and he couldn't tell if he was angry, angry, or both.

He opened his mouth to argue with the Grey Man, but found that this was not a good choice, and if he really wanted to argue, he would probably be led off the subject by the Grey Man.

He will not be fooled, and he knows very well the purpose of coming to see the gray-robed man this time.

"Hmph!" the black shadow snorted coldly, "Okay, maybe my perception is indeed a little dull, but no matter how dull it is, it shouldn't be as slow as you are." ”

"Huh?"

"You said that in seven or eight days you would be able to give us an opportunity to turn the tide of the war. As a result, it has been more than a month and nothing has changed. Isn't it, if I don't remind you, the year is going to pass? It's not sluggishness, what's it, it's dormancy?"
