Chapter 12: Let's go to the bandits
The lower city of the imperial capital, the headquarters of the imperial capital garrison.
"Iokar Sekrid?"
Javier gently put down the pen in his hand, put the sorted official documents on the file shelf, and then picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"That distant relative of Earnest? He was killed last night? ”
"Well, the head was pierced by bullets, the brain was scorched, and I couldn't die anymore." Arowen said with some schadenfreude.
"It's the hand of the 'Night Raid' again?"
Arovin nodded: "According to the investigation of the scene, as well as the direction of the bullet on the corpse, it can be inferred that the sniper completed the sniper at a commanding height 1,200 meters away." ”
"One, 1,200 meters!?" Seleu shouted in shock, "It's amazing to be able to shoot at that distance......"
Seleuc is also a good wielder with thermal weapons, and she has been exposed to all types of firearms, including sniper rifles.
Her accurate sniping range is 800 meters, and she is a little powerless to go up, and the sniper range of that mysterious sniper can reach an incredible 1,200 meters, and no one can guarantee that this is his limit, which is really scary to think about.
It's not a matter of working hard or not, it's all about talent.
That terrifying "night raid" sniper is a rare shooting genius in the world.
"Twelve hundred meters? Can you successfully complete a sniper kill at such a distance......"
Javier frowned and groaned for a moment, his face a little unsightly.
"It seems that I was wrong before, and the Imperial Envoy who used the 'pumpkin' was not Najieta, but the other members of the 'Night Raid'." Javier said firmly, "Najieta can't be said to be a sniper, her shooting talent is not outstanding, she is more of a fighter." ”
"The number of troublesome enemies has increased again, and this 'night attack' is really not worry-free." Arrowen smiled wryly.
"Then again, there are quite a few nobles who have been assassinated recently." Seleuc flipped through the copy, then pronounced their names, "Harold Div, Taylor Alva, Lance Goldfrey...... Why do you feel that they are all aristocrats with bad reviews? ”
"Those officials who are all ministers are just a bunch of moths that eat the flesh and blood of the people, and if they die, they will die." Javier said lightly, "By the way, I sent someone to solve these guys, of course, in the name of 'night raid'." ”
The "Shadow" force is a specialized combat force responsible for dark activities and intelligence reconnaissance, and naturally there are well-trained killers among them, although it is unlikely to break into the palace, it is not a problem to kill a few minor nobles.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the "night attack", Xavier does not mind chopping off a few more ministers' arms to put himself in a better position in the future situation.
"Hey, Javier......"
Arowen said in his heart, how did you say it! And in front of Seleuc! You're dying, dying, dying, you know!?
"Oh, I see."
I saw Seleucun nodding lightly, and said in agreement: "Punishing the thief in the name of the thief is really worthy of being the captain!" ”
Arrowen: "......"
Wait, doesn't that seem right in this script?
This is an assassination of a nobleman! Second only to the felony of assassinating the royal family!
The righteous demon Sai Leu was neither angry nor questioning, but accepted it calmly.
This is not normal! It's not normal!
Arowen touched Javier with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "What exactly did you instill in Seleuc?" ”
Javier also whispered: "Nothing was instilled, just a little heart-to-heart talk." ”
"You liar! Looking at Seleuna's expression, even if you ask her to kill the little emperor now, she will not hesitate to do it, right? ”
“…… I hope you understand this as trust. ”
"Hehe, do you think I'll believe it?"
"Believe it or not."
Arowen patted Javier on the shoulder, revealing an expression of "everyone is a man, so don't hide it": "You still tell me honestly, when did you attack her?" ”
"There is no strategy, and there will be no strategy, we are just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship."
"Less verbose! You damn winner in life! Obviously, there is already a Sibia, but she is still ...... Is your ultimate goal to build a sprawling harem? What a sleazy ambition! It's so enviable, bastard! ”
"I think it's only your brain...... By the way, why did I get involved with Sibia again? We're just ordinary childhood sweethearts! ”
"Shut up! You man who doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings! Explode! Arowen had a sad and indignant look on his face.
"What are you whispering? Not...... It's too much, and it excludes me alone. ”
Seleuc puffed out his mouth slightly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Ahaha, I didn't say anything...... Just a little bit of a discussion about life ideals. Arrowan replied with a smile.
In a sense, he wasn't lying.
Sai Leu didn't seem to believe it, and his eyes were full of suspicion: "It's so suspicious." ”
Being stared at by Seleuc's awe-inspiring gaze, Arowen was left in a cold sweat.
Sighing, Javier had to change the subject: "Although the status of those nobles who were killed is not high in the empire, they are also Onest's cronies, so he must not be able to sit still if he dies so much in one breath, right?" When he went to court today, he was still angry and impeached me for not doing anything good. ”
Hearing this, Sai Leu immediately shifted his attention and said with a worried face: "Isn't the captain's situation very dangerous?" ”
Arrowen glared at Javier with an expression of "sure enough, there was adultery", and Javier just pretended that he didn't see it.
"Don't worry, Earnest can't move me." Javier said calmly, "Now that Estes is far to the north, there is no one in the imperial capital who can replace me, as long as I can show the corresponding results, I can stop Earnest's mouth." ”
"That's ......"
Seleu put his hand on his chest and exhaled a sigh of "relieved" expression.
"But the tail of 'Night Raid' is not so easy to catch, and it is not easy to come up with results." Arrowen wasn't too optimistic.
"Captain's words must be fine!"
"Yes, your captain can do anything."
Arowen said no, this little fool has been completely brainwashed by Javier.
"Hmm...... It feels so perfunctory, Mr. Arrowin, you were just making me a fool, right? ”
“…… How can it be? Little Seleuc is so smart. ”
"Why look away?"
“……”
"Sure enough, you're making fun of me for a fool! Mr. Arrowan, you idiot! ”
"Ahem, alright, let's stop the gossip."
Javier interrupted their conversation to prevent Arrowen from dying further.
"Arrowan said very reasonably, 'Night Raid' is a difficult bone to gnaw, we can't swallow it for the time being, and if we want to come up with results, we can only find another way."
"What should I do?" Arrowan asked.
He felt a strong unfriendly gaze, no doubt that Seleu was still glaring at him.
Alas, what a careful-eyed girl.
"The current emperor is all chaotic, and in addition to the 'night attack', don't we have many targets to choose from?"
Javier took a file out of the drawer and placed it on the table: "For example, this. ”
Seleuc picked up the document and took a cursory look at it, revealing that it was a report on a certain bandit group around the imperial capital.
"The Sand Prison Mountain Bandits, entrenched in the golden trade route in the west of the imperial capital, specializes in robbing wealthy merchants who travel between the imperial capital and the central and western regions, and has committed more than ten crimes so far, which is really suitable as a target."
The corners of Javier's mouth curled into a chilling arc, as if he was smiling but without the slightest hint of a smile, and those who knew him well knew that this was a prelude to his killing.
"Let's make this bandit group our first feat in the imperial capital."
……
Seven kilometers west of the imperial capital, the golden trade route.
This is the economic link between the imperial capital and the central and western regions, and the goods and specialties of the two places are circulated through this trade route, so there are many merchants who come and go, and most of them carry quite rich goods.
If you can do it here, it will be enough for a team of hundreds of people to get away with it for a while, and there is not much fat water, so it's no wonder that the "Sand Hell Bandits" will be eyeing here.
A black dragon suddenly flew through the sky, setting off gusts of wind and rubbing violently in the air.
The dark black scales that shimmered with an eerie sheen, the huge claws and sharp fangs of the cold light, the powerful steel wings, and the faint coercion of the creature at the top of the food chain all revealed its identity - a strategic creature with the power to destroy the world, a super dangerous species.
The three of Javier sat on Alfred's dragon's back, their eyes constantly scanning the ground beneath their feet, looking for clues about the Sand Prison Bandits.
Among them, Seleuc, who was riding the flying danger species for the first time, was particularly excited, and let out an exclamation of "wow" from time to time.
When you look down from the heights, you can see the boundless sea of trees.
Between the trees and the sea of trees, a level, apparently paved artificially, crossed the middle, as if it were a rift split with all the might of a giant god holding a battle axe, straight and wide, and the road stretched to the end of the earth.
Flying over another hill, Javier finally spotted a huge city-like structure in the shadows of the trees.
There are several lookouts on the city walls, and from a distance, you can see several vague figures on the lookouts, apparently bandits on duty.
The stronghold of the Sand Prison Bandits has finally been found.
"Oh, it's hiding here...... It's really easy for us to find. ”
Javier smiled coldly as he calmly surveyed the terrain around him.
Surrounded by mountains, strange rocks, and a variety of tall towering ancient trees as cover, the concealment is extremely high, and it is indeed very suitable as a bandit base.
If it weren't for the fact that they were flying in the sky, occupying a favorable location and having a wide field of vision, it would probably take more time and effort to find this place.
"It's no wonder that the garrison's searches are always fruitless."
Arowen looked at the heavily guarded base from afar, and tightened the jet-black sword at his waist: "However, from the moment you are discovered, the end is already doomed. ”
He withdrew his gaze, then looked at Javier as if asking, "What do you do?" ”
"None of them will be left." Javier said lightly.
"What if there are people who surrender?"
"You can't leave any spark of war, kill."
"Okay."
Arrowen nodded, indicating that he had understood what to do.
He drew his sword in his hand, its blade flashing with cold light, ready to make a big move.
Seleuc on the side looked a little nervous, this was the first time she had participated in a crusade mission, and she couldn't help but worry a little about whether she would drag Javier and Arrowen back, after all, she was the weakest of the three.
If her mistake had failed her mission - she held her head and tried not to think about such an unlucky thing.
However, once this thought arose, it immediately spread out of control, which intensified her nervousness.
At this moment, Javier's voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Don't have too much psychological pressure, just give full play to what you usually learn, you are very strong, I can guarantee that."
Seleuc looked up, only to see that Javier had been looking at him for some time.
Although he was still expressionless, Seleuc could see a hint of encouragement in his purple jewel-like eyes.
For some reason, just by being glanced at by Javier, Seleu felt that all the uneasiness and nervousness disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the only thing left in his heart was firmness.
"Yes! I'll cheer with Xiao Ke! ”
Seleuc gave a military salute and said loudly.
"Wang!"
Xiao Ke jumped happily on the dragon's back, as if he was showing his determination like Seleuc.
"Good."
Javier bowed slightly, took off the bright silver cavalry gun that had been carrying behind him, prepared for battle, and then looked at the bandit base in the distance, his eyes were full of coldness.
"Then, the 'Sand Hell Mountain Bandit Bandits' annihilation operation starts now!"
Death is coming!
