Chapter 151: Looking for the Bandits

And after the all-access level 15 main quest, Wang Rui found Ge Yuancheng and prepared to start a new main quest.

"The egg hurts to kick, although the near danger has been eliminated, but the potential threat is still there, so from now on, you are responsible for investigating the various towns and informing me of the anomalies you find." After Ge Yuancheng, the lord of Egret City, finished speaking, he waved his hand.

The system prompts: "Ge Yuancheng, the lord of Egret City, has appointed you as an inspector to inspect various towns. ”

Let's start with Bluewater!

Wang Rui, who was riding a white crane, looked all the way through the mission records of Bluewater Town sorted out by the gang, probably because of the difference in levels, so Wang Rui did not find any valuable clues.

After arriving at Bluewater Town, Wang Rui first started with the NPC's restaurant, grocery store, etc., and then slowly asked from the soldiers defending the city, and finally came up with two pieces of information that Wang Rui thought was valuable:

1. The mayor recently fired the chef at home;

Second, bandits outside the town began to run rampant.

After no gains, Wang Rui used the identity of the 'patrol envoy' to enter the town's office hall (the mayor's house is in the office hall).

"I heard that there was a bandit outside the town?" After sitting down, Wang Rui first asked about the maid who poured water.

"Yes, Inspector." This maid named Xiaohong is quite intelligent, otherwise she would not have attracted Wang Rui's attention.

"Can you tell me about it?" Taking advantage of the fact that the mayor did not come, Wang Rui decided to inquire first.

Then Xiaohong said what happened: about a month ago, there were often nearby townspeople and passing merchants were robbed by bandits, so the mayor and the garrison decided to send the garrison to encircle and suppress, and the strange thing is that the garrison was dispatched several times, only to catch some small fish and shrimp.

"More than a month ago?" Wang Rui confirmed.

"Hmm." Little Red for sure.

"How many encirclements and suppressions, all of them were in the air?" Wang Rui confirmed again.

"Hmm." Little Red continued to affirm.

Just as Wang Rui was about to continue asking, the mayor Su Kui walked in.

After greeting each other. Wang Rui went straight to the point and asked about the banditry.

"Lord Inspector, it's not that the town doesn't do its best, but the bandits are too cunning,......。" Su Kui explained to Wang Rui is good and explained that he was serious and diligent. How many nights were on guard in order to find the bandits, how many mountain roads they walked to track the bandits, how many times the garrison was dispatched for the safety of the townspeople, and so on.

In the end, a sentence came out that the bandits were too cunning, so ...... You know.

"Who is leading the garrison?" The mayor of the town usually stays in the town, so there must be someone else who leads the attack.

"It's the garrison officer Wu Deyong, I'll have someone pass him on immediately." After Sun Kui finished speaking, the maid Xiaohong walked to the door. Through the door, he instructed one of the guards outside.

After a while, the garrison officer Wu Deyong arrived, and he also brought another person.

"The patrol envoy, the mayor of the town, the garrison officer of Xialanshui Town, Wu Deyong, this is the captain of the third brigade, Li Gen; Just now, Li Gen came to report that he had found traces of bandits. After entering the mayor's hall and closing the door, Wu Deyong immediately said.

"Oh. Where was it found? Sun Kui hurriedly asked.

"At Kidnapping Mountain." Li Gen was concise and to the point, not saying a word more.

"How many are there?"

"More than three hundred."

"Alright. Don't ask! Wu Deyong and Li Gen immediately mobilized the garrison, and we went to Guizi Mountain. Sun Kui was about to ask again, but Wang Rui interrupted him, and after instructing Wu Deyong and Li Gen, Wang Rui took the lead and walked to the hall door.

At this time, the maid Xiaohong was holding a teapot. Just opened the door as if to refill the water; After listening to Wang Rui's words, he immediately avoided the side and let Wang Rui and the three of them go out of the town mayor's hall first.

The efficiency of the NPC is high, and when Wang Rui, Wu Deyong, and Li Gen summoned their flying mounts and rushed to the garrison camp behind the town, nine hundred and forty garrisons were ready. (Wu Deyong's escort is 20 people.) Li Gen's guards are 10 people, and Wang Rui's guards are 10 people. )

"Let's go!" There was no nonsense, Wu De gave an order, and all the staff set out, including a hundred people from flying mounts, plus Wang Rui, Wu Deyong, Li Gen and their respective guards, and set off first; The other 800 men rode on land horses and arrived later.

Ten minutes later, Li Gen made a gesture and circled on his eagle mount.

"This is it?" Wu Deyong's face was full of disappointment, because there was no trace of bandits around at this time; Still, he made a 'split search' gesture.

Then one hundred and forty garrison soldiers (including Wang Rui's three guards) scattered around on flying mounts.

"Look at the ruts, it's going east." After landing, Li Gen checked the ruts on the ground and said to Wu Deyong.

"There have been cases like this before, but we searched far along the ruts, and found only some wagons loaded with stones, which showed that the merchant's goods had long since been removed." Wu Deyong explained to Wang Rui why he didn't check the marks on the ground first, and then look for the reason in the direction of the rut.

"Didn't you leave a trail?" Under normal circumstances, after discovering a trace, one or two soldiers are left to follow and monitor.

Listening to Wang Rui's words, Li Gen glanced at Wu Deyong.

"The Inspector was directly appointed by the city lord, so you can trust it, don't worry." After Wu Deyong patted Li Gen on the shoulder, he relieved Wang Rui's doubts:

"There have been soldiers who have been left behind to follow before, but by the time our large army arrived, they were all unconscious on the way."

"So this time, and for the first time, I didn't leave the soldiers to follow me, but let my pet out." After Li Gen finished speaking, he looked confident.

Several encirclements and suppressions have made discerning people know that there are ghosts in the town, and their status is not low.

If there was no message from the inner ghost, it would not have been possible to return to the air every time the garrison moved.

It was precisely because of the precautions against the inner ghost that Li Gen told Wang Rui about his release of pets and tracking after Wu Deyong's assurance; And because of the defense of internal ghosts, Wu Deyong only divided the 140 garrison soldiers.

Of course, this is all a butterfly effect, and if the player doesn't trigger the quest, the garrison will never be able to track down the bandits.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Wang Rui temporarily put away the speculation of 'who is the inner ghost' and decided to find the bandits first.

In order to conceal themselves, they naturally could not find their mounts, so the three of them could only walk; Fortunately, Li Gen's pet is relatively special, and in addition to being good at tracking, it also has a special sense with Li Gen, which can allow Li Gen to know its general direction.

Since it is called Kidnapping Mountain, it is naturally named because of the twists and turns of the mountain, and the height is wrong, and I don't know the direction of the road, so I only move forward in the general direction, which makes the three of them suffer.

Sometimes I walked along the mountain, but I ended up at the end of the cliff; Sometimes from one mountain beam to another, and finally I find that there is a feeling of going farther and farther; Sometimes looking at the high place in front of you, waiting for where you go, it takes several times as long as you think.

In short, after tossing for a few hours, Wang Rui had no choice but to decide: to ride flying mounts in some mountain recesses, mountain streams and other places, and to walk in some places where he couldn't fly over.

After a few hits of the flying mount, Legan told the two that his pet was in front of them. (To be continued......)
