Chapter 14 VII The Sheriff
Highcum City.
The northernmost city in the Dils Mountains. From here, further north is a vast plain – a fertile plain formed by the Namara River. Originally built as a defensive fortress to defend against the invasion of the Duchy of Palchi, Yaqui's strategic importance declined after the surrender of Palchi. Even so, however, it is still the choke point for the overland access to the rich region of Yaqui in the Dils Mountains. The city's defenses have always been known for being exceptionally strong, especially after the Tyreans conquered large areas of land, and the importance of its defense was once again revealed.
"The only drawback of this city is that it only focuses on the defense of the south, and its defense capability is very weak relative to the north." Li Tianhao, who had infiltrated the city, whispered to Alam beside him.
"It's no wonder it's a fortress in the first place." Alam replied softly, "Boss, there are a lot of people, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
Li Tianhao nodded when he heard this, and the group of them scattered into the city and made an appointment to meet at the Old Marne Hotel. But before they can do that, they need to gather as much information as they can, and at the same time get a general idea of what kind of damage has been done to the original intelligence system in the city.
Sure enough, Li Tianhao pounced in two places in a row. The liaison there is no longer there, and it is clear that these people have suffered misfortune. Fortunately, the intelligence officer in the third department was lucky, he did not enter the search range of the Yaki Army, and hid in time. After reconnecting with him, Li Tianhao roughly understood that Yaji's clean-up operation seemed to be a very powerful sheriff transferred from other places, and it only took him a month to grasp the whereabouts of a large number of intelligence officers, and then deliberately released news to attract them to summarize the information upwards, and finally wiped out all the personnel in his possession before the information was sent.
"Well done." Li Tianhao couldn't help but admire. He then inquired about the movements of the Yaki Army in the city, but it turned out that because the Yaki Army's actions were quite covert, coupled with the weakness of the intelligence system, the intelligence was not satisfactory in terms of quality and quantity. Li Tianhao could only leave a new contact information for the time being, and left with Alam.
Walking a few streets, Alam saw Tatar in the distance mixed in with the crowd. He just wanted to walk towards Tatar, but was grabbed by Li Tianhao's shoulder: "Don't move!" Tatar was targeted. ”
Alam was shocked when he heard this, and when he looked closely, he found two people behind Tatar, and these two people cooperated with each other, but Tatar never realized that he had been tracked.
Li Tianhao pointed to the back again: "Those two are errands, and the person who really controls them is behind." ”
Alam followed Lee's hand and found a figure wearing a hood that was quietly sending instructions to the two men.
"It's not good, it would be bad if they followed Tatar to the Old Marne Hotel, Alam, you sneak over and think of reminding Tatar."
Alam nodded, and then entered the bustling crowd.
Tatar went well today, found the lurking intelligence agent in time, drank a few glasses of wine in the tavern, and touched the situation in the city by the way, and then walked in the direction of the old Marne inn. Turning into an alley, Tatar suddenly heard several sounds of hitting stones. That's the code they agreed on! Meaning there is a tail in the back! Tatar was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and continued walking. After a few turns, Tatar could already hear the chaotic footsteps behind him, and he moved rapidly in succession, and soon flashed into a hidden place. Just when he thought he was out of tracking, a voice sounded behind him: "Good job, it seems that you are a shrewd spy." ”
Tatar's mind moved, his body was already moving quickly, he drew the short knife hidden in his body, stabbed it backhand, and at the same time took advantage of the momentum to turn around and assume a defensive posture.
Standing across from him was a hooded man, half a head taller than himself, with a very well-proportioned body and a long sword in his hand.
"Yo, the kung fu is not bad," the man dodged Tatar's attack, "I originally wanted to follow you to your lair, but now that you have found out, I can only escort you to your lair." ”
After such a delay, the other two followed, and together they surrounded the Tatar in the middle. The man took off his hood, revealing a head of blonde hair, and underneath that beautiful hair was a handsome face commensurate with it, which looked to be no more than thirty years old.
Tatar was not flustered by the situation, he knew that friendly forces were nearby, and he was obviously still looking for an opportunity, so the most important thing was to delay for now. He immediately spoke, "Are you robbers?" Robbing in broad daylight, aren't you afraid that I will report to the official? ”
The man sneered: "Don't pretend to be garlic, you are a spy, let me explain it, I am the new sheriff of this city, Yamo, the nail you contacted just now was deliberately left by me, since you came to connect, do you still want to deny it?" ”
Tatar finally understood how he had been exposed, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful, but he always had a smile on his face: "I don't understand what you're saying, but if you want to arrest people indiscriminately because of the large number of people, don't expect me to be arrested." ”
"If you have the guts, then I'll come and arrest the spy myself." As he spoke, the man swung his sword and attacked.
As soon as the two fought, Tatar was taken aback. In terms of Tatar's martial arts, although they can't be compared with Li Tianhao and them, they are also one of the few masters in the Dils Righteous Army, but in the face of this Yamo, they are completely at a disadvantage! This is certainly because Tatar only has a short knife, but there should not be such a huge gap.
After only a few moves, Tatar was already in danger, and Yamo sneered as he stormed: "A skill like you really should go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, how can you come to be an inconspicuous spy?" I said an accomplice hiding in the shadows, if you don't come out, I'll kill the killer. ”
Tatar's mind moved, and it was really unexpected that the other party could see through the fact that he had accomplices. In a mess, his hand slowed down, and the short knife in his hand was knocked to the ground by Jamo's long sword. Jamo put his sword against Tatar's neck and raised his voice: "Don't you show up yet, I'm afraid more people will hear my voice if I am louder, do you think you can still run away?" ”
"Stop, I'm not going to be a shrunken turtle." A childish voice sounded in the shadows.
Tatar's heart was happy at first, and then it cooled down again. Because he heard that the voice was Alam, he had entered the city with Li Tianhao. But then he found out that Alam was the only one who came.
Yamo was taken aback, and then laughed: "Hahahahaha, I'm still worried that there is something amazing backstage hidden behind such a powerful spy, it turned out to be a child, no wonder you only dare to call the police and dare not show up." ”
"This is the first mistake you made today!" Alam said as he drew his short sword and pounced.
In terms of martial arts, Alam is not necessarily much stronger than Tatar, but his fast sword is not something that anyone can parry. This time, he launched a rush attack, and Yamo was not on guard, and was suddenly forced to be in a hurry, and for a while he only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back.
Now it's Jamo's turn to regret it, but who would have thought that a child would be even more powerful than an adult? At this moment, he saw a figure flash out, and the lightning-like figure instantly stabbed the blade into the back of the heads of his two men.
