Section 10: Intelligence Warfare

At night, the special operators wore leather armor painted black and wore the same black cloaks, quietly marching through the valley like the night wind, as the special combat team members who are good at special operations have two sets of stealth equipment, during the day is a cloak made of green and gray colors, which is conducive to ambushes in the woods and grass, and the camouflage color makes it difficult for the enemy to find their tracks.

"Captain, there's a fire ahead, and the soldiers on the night watch, and Bilis's camp should be nearby." A special combat team member returned from the front, he carefully avoided the debris on the ground with the starlight above his head, and even needed to grope his way forward with both hands, without the torch lighting, it was very difficult to move by the starlight above his head alone, but fortunately, the special combat team had received various night combat training.

"Lean over and take a look, be careful." Ted covered his head in a cloak and wrapped in a pitch-black cloak, and he knelt on one knee and said to the ten members of the team around him.

"Yes." The team members whispered, they tried to keep their bodies as low as possible, bent down and walked forward, and when there was a sound in their ears, they immediately stopped, and stayed there quietly motionless, even their breathing became extremely slight, and their bodies completely merged with the surrounding night.

"It's bad luck, my bones are falling apart." At this time, the voice of the Slavs was heard above the heads of Ted and the special operators, and a flash of fire appeared, and the special operators immediately clung to the ground and remained motionless.

"Isn't it? The damned nobles know that Lu Dao is desperately commanding us, but he himself is in the tent drinking fine wine and hugging the woman for fun. "Listening to the voice, it seems to be a soldier patrolling under Billis. They were marching up the hillside on one side of the valley, and the special operators were directly below them.

"Wait, let me put the water out." The patrol stopped, and one of them walked to the edge of the hillside, unbuttoned his trouser belt and pulled out his work, and a jet of foul and smelly water poured down the hillside.

"Ziz~~~." The bubble of urine happened to be poured on Ted's head, but Ted didn't dare to move, allowing the urine to run down the top of his head and behind his back.

"Ha Luha, haven't you urinated enough on the battlefield today?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't quibble, when the Germanic knights rush over. I can see you pull your pee down on your pants. The soldiers of Biliss laughed at each other. They taunt their fellows and relieve the pressure of war during the day.

"Don't talk nonsense, you were already stunned in the terrible charge of those knights shaking the mountains, where can you still see me peeing or not. You liar. The peeing soldier retorted dissatisfiedly.

"The gods are above. It was the first time I had seen such a terrible heavy cavalry charge. The spears in their hands were so long that I saw with my own eyes that one of Lord Bilis's vassals had been impaled through the body by that terrible spear, and his entrails were thrown in the air. He was wearing leather armor inlaid with iron plates. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, I finally forgot about the battlefield and brought it up again, you damn old dog."

"Forget it, hurry up and finish the patrol, let's go back and find some wine to drink."

The sound and fire above his head faded away, and it seemed that the soldiers of Bilish were in a hurry to return to their camp, and Ted immediately led his men to follow the soldiers, and soon they found the camp of Bilis, and it seemed that the battle during the day frightened Bilis, and his tent was surrounded by his men, and the camp was surrounded by a wooden fence made of sharpened wood, and the location chosen was also on the slope of the valley that was difficult to defend. If attacked, the soldiers of Bilis, who were on high ground, could be condescending, and the bonfires lit by the soldiers were like stars in the night sky, and from time to time laughter and the screams of women could be heard from the camps in the valley.

"Find a way to capture a soldier." Although Ted figured out the location of Bilis's camp, but for the sake of safety, he decided to take a risk to catch a tongue, and the special operators listened to Ted's order and immediately dispersed, looking for a target that could be attacked, and soon caught a lone patrolman, they knocked the patrol unconscious and then quietly returned to Arold's camp, which did not attract the attention of the people in Bilis's camp at all, and it seemed to be a very successful camp exploration operation.

"So, Biliss is going to be on the defensive." After listening to Ted's report and the prisoner's confession, Arold did not expect that his attack would make the arrogant Biliss take a complete defense, although Arold thought that he had a killer weapon like a catapult, and was not very worried about the opponent's rudimentary wooden fence, but if Bilis was determined to take a defensive position, coupled with the special terrain in the valley, Arold was not sure how useful the catapult would be, after all, the catapult was a simple mechanical siege machine, not a weapon like artillery that could collapse the enemy.

"Lord Earl, at least we know where they are, so let's move the camp over and block their retreat." Sir Ben suggested.

"However, Bilis seems to be consciously seducing us." Arold frowned and paced around the tent, judging from the information brought back by Harvey and the Brotherhood of Blooddrops, Billis, the son of the Grand Chief of Mecklenburg, was a cunning and murderous nobleman, would he have so easily and voluntarily plunged himself to death? If this is a trap, it will be a bit bad for Arold and his army, and don't forget that this is enemy territory.

Arold didn't sleep all night, he repeatedly thought about weighing the pros and cons, when he fought alone, he could not care about other things, as long as he fought hard to kill the enemy and find a way to win, but now when thousands of people were in his hands, every decision he made could determine the life and death of many people, which made him anxious and sleepless, in order not to make a wrong decision, Arold and Marty's coalition had to stand still. However, on the third day, several members of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops showed up outside Arold's tent in time, and they brought Arold some information about Bilis, which was exactly what Arold wanted.

"It's great that this happened." The attendants and guards who were on duty outside the tent heard Arrod's ecstatic laughter in the tent, they had not seen the Earl so happy for several days.

"Lord Count, what happened?" The valet hurried into the tent and asked Arold.

"Oh, you came just in time, immediately order the army to pull out the camp and march into the valley, and watch me catch turtles in an urn, Bilis, Bilis, you are clever but you are mistaken by cleverness." Arrod's face swept away with exhaustion and annoyance, and the little squire felt inexplicable, but he did not forget his duty and immediately conveyed Arold's order, and soon the whole army marched towards the valley where Bilis was.

"Why did the Earl suddenly let us march?" John Berg and the others were also very surprised, and they were on the march to inquire about each other's news, but no one really knew what had happened.

"Lord Arrod, didn't you say that Bilis's camp in the valley was a trap? And where are we going now? The only one who dared to confront Arold was Madam Marty, who was an ally, and she asked Arold on horseback.

"Rest assured, Ms. Marty, am I doing this because I am sure enough? My intelligence officer brought me news that Bilis's wife, in alliance with Kang Tuoyi, had taken control of Bilis's territory, and that he had no reinforcements to wait. Arold rode on his horse and said triumphantly to Marty that in any war, the intelligence network is the key to victory.

"What? Is Kang Tuoyi still alive? Marty's eyes widened in disbelief, she thought that Kang Tuoyi had died at the hands of Billis, just like her father, but now the situation had changed so drastically that she couldn't believe her ears. (To be continued......)
