The soldiers couldn't believe that those guys were using them as cannon fodder.

"How so?"

Faced with the disbelief on the faces of the soldiers, Alan took out the backup image that he had saved in advance and opened it in front of the group.

As the effects unfolded, the disbelief on the faces of the soldiers gradually turned to numbness.

It's true, the Motherland to which they are loyal betrayed them.

While the soldier was struggling with this question, the officer with the severed arm took a deep breath and asked, "My lord, what is your purpose in telling us the truth about this matter?" ”

"The purpose? Is it a goal to keep you alive? ”

Allen's explanation was so perfunctory that even the soldiers behind the officer with the severed arm didn't believe it.

"You've seen the footage and you know it. As far as their organization is concerned, sooner or later they will offend some people who cannot be provoked. And it just so happens that we belong to the people they can't afford to mess with. But we were short on time, and for some reason, we didn't really have much time to dwell on with them. Before crossing the border, try to organize revenge on them, even if it is our purpose! ”

Looking at the hesitant expression on the officer with the severed arm, Alan knew that he was struggling with whether to take his word or not. However, soon the officer with the severed arm was no longer entangled, because compared with other noble officers, this officer from a civilian background was more caring and considerate of the soldiers under his command.

In order for the soldiers to live with themselves, they must say a reason that is not flawed in a unified voice. Otherwise, when they go back, it will be when they have one foot in the door of hell.

"There's not much time left for you, and you know that they're using you as bait to attract the barbarians all the way to the main force, so that they can be caught in one go. With Pednora as the center, the suburbs, villages and towns of these areas are not safe. If you don't want to go back to the main city right now, going to Sarktown is a good choice. ”

Allen's words caused the severed arm officer to let out a wry smile.

Now when I go back to the main city, I will definitely be arrested and sent to death again. After all, only the dead keep secrets. Moreover, with the style of the royal secret service organization, the chance of surviving is less than half the way back now.

"Whether your words are true or not, you have saved our lives after all. On the premise of not violating our conscience and betraying the country, we can obey your arrangement. ”

Faced with a broken arm officer who threw off a good burden, Allen was very helpless. Coincidentally, at this time, after dealing with the injuries of the barbarian cyclops and the leader of the half-orcs, Zhou had already entered the camp. Allen, who carried forward the Dafa of throwing off the bag, let Zhou Xuanshu make up his mind.

"If you want to survive, follow Alan's advice and go to Sack Town! In addition to the urgent need for food, this town has enough population and armed force to support the arrival of reinforcements to encircle and suppress the barbarians. ”

Hearing Zhou's analysis, the officer with the broken arm was very moved. He felt that the hairy savage in front of him was right, and they had only one option left to go to Sarktown.

"Yes, benefactor. We will deliver this grain to the town of Sark, and help the town hold the entrance until the arrival of reinforcements from the kingdom. ”

For the officer with the broken arm who is very familiar with current affairs, Zhou Zhensheng nodded with satisfaction, and patted him on the shoulder and entrusted: "When you arrive in the town, please help me take care of the old Jack who runs the hotel." Without the clues he provided, we wouldn't have gotten the intelligence we wanted. And you will not be saved by us who have seen through the royal agents. ”

This request was readily agreed to by the officer with the broken arm.

After that, he hesitated for a moment and asked a sentence hidden in his heart: "Benefactor, don't you go with us?" ”

"I'm sorry, we're going our separate ways. I've always felt like something was wrong with the food that was secretly being shipped to Pedenora, and we needed to get back to the main city as soon as possible in order to figure it out. ”

Although he was a little puzzled by the behavior of Zhou and the two, the officer with the broken arm didn't ask much. After all, people saved the lives of themselves and others. As long as he knew that they were harmless to himself and to the king's ordinary people, the heart of the officer with a severed arm was steady.

"Well, we'll take care of old Jack. I wish you all a smooth journey and a hard lesson to the shitch spy organization. ”

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Zhanshu took Alan and left without a trace of fireworks. And the remnants of these defeated soldiers who escorted the grain began to make confessions after seeing the two of them leave.

After returning to the grove a kilometer away, Alan asked, "My lord, why don't I build a skeleton army to secretly protect Sarktown?" ”

"There's no need, those gold diggers aren't fuel-efficient lamps. The best way to help them relieve their stress is to get the core plan of the royal agents to work. Once Pednola has problems, the whole situation will collapse in a chain. ”

Zhou Xuan, who gave the answer in Allen's heart, beckoned Allen to hurry up.

Compared to the slow time they came, the two of them returned to the main city quickly. In less than half a day, the two had successfully rushed back to Pednora before lunch.

The two of them who returned to the main city, after making a little preparation for hiding, hurried to sneak towards the place where the food was hidden.

When they succeeded in finding the food, Zhou Yanshu's face couldn't help but change wildly.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Zhou Zhenshuo's face became very ugly at this time because of the problem of food.

"This food is dropping!"

Zhou Xuan, who cut a hole with his sword, pointed to the dry grain on the ground and said.

Watching the movements of his own adults, Alan also bent down and grabbed a handful of food spilled on the ground with his hand, and observed it carefully.

"It's okay with this food! Even if it drops, it won't have an impact, right? ”

Zhou Xuan said sadly, Allen is still too naïve. After that, he took a breath and began to tell his guesses.

"Let's start with the bag drop. You know, now that the area is getting warmer, as the snow melts, the grain is supposed to be wet. And these dried grains are more like old grains. Although there is no problem with the food that has been exchanged, there must be a problem with the food that has been exchanged. Otherwise, why would the people in the shadows exchange these okay grains for those that are transported? Isn't that redundant? ”

Alan heard Zhou's explanation and finally knew the seriousness of the matter.

"How do we find them moving so fast?"

Allen, who was troubled by another group of people, was afraid that something major would happen, and he and Zhou would be dragged here.

"It's late, I'm afraid the grain has already been dispersed. Let's go, if what I expected is right, the shadow of the batch of problematic grain can still be found in the various grain stores. ”

Zhou Zhenshu was very uneasy at this time, and the intervention of the third force hidden under the water made all their layouts very passive.
