Chapter 1331 Strange Hearsay
At three o'clock in the night, most of the soldiers at the pass had already entered the barracks to rest, leaving only a small number of soldiers to patrol and watch, and most of them concentrated at the pass gate.
A small black figure appeared beside the fire that had long been extinguished, and the figure quickly disappeared in place, and in the next moment, appeared in the shadow of the barracks not far away.
Yanna took advantage of the moonlight to carefully observe the various possible positions, and then sent a message to the internal line: "Scarlet, there are no guards around, you can log in." ”
A few seconds later, Scarlet's slender figure also appeared by the fire, and quickly found Yanna hiding in the shadows. After quickly reaching her companion's side, she whispered, "Yanna, help me be on guard, I'm going to turn on the psionic scan." ”
Yanna nodded, and turned her head to look around. Scarlet closed her eyes, and a faint light shone out of her closed eyes, and waves of psionic light that ordinary people could not see and could hardly feel radiated from her body.
It wasn't long before Scarlet mastered the patrol routes, and at the same time, he covered the leaders of these teams with a little psionic energy.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Scarlet whispered, "Yanna, let's go." Follow me and don't make a noise. ”
Yanna nodded, and began to follow her companions to dodge the patrols and the few sentry posts. After nearly half an hour of detouring, they managed to reach the gate to the kingdom side.
The two of them hid in the shadows, watching the stubborn soldiers fighting in the open flames. Yanna asked in a low voice, "Scarlet, what should I do?" There was no way around it, and besides, the gate was sealed with rough logs, and we couldn't open it without alerting them. ”
Seeing the sealed gate, Scarlet thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to open this gate, wait until you use your ability to teleport to the city wall, provide me with coordinates, and then I will use spiritual energy to teleport to you, and then I will cast the 'Light Feather Technique' on us and float directly down from the wall." ”
"Scarlet," Yanna shook her head slightly, "It's too far away, I can't teleport here, but if I get closer, I'll be discovered by the people under the wall." ”
"It's okay, I'll take care of this."
After saying this, Scarlet's eyes lit up again, and after only a moment, a thick fog appeared in the entire pass city wall area, and this vision frightened the soldiers, and they drew their weapons one after another, and stood on the spot.
"Be careful~ stand still and don't move!" "All squads are on standout! Sound the alarm! "Report! The fog is too big to see the alarm bell! ”
"Damn it!" The garrison scolded angrily and began to feel the city wall, feeling the alarm bell from memory. After more than ten seconds, he finally arrived at the place in his memory, and after a little fumbling, he held the rope of the warning bell. The garrison officer was overjoyed and was about to pull down the alarm bell, but was surprised to find that this strange fog had completely disappeared. It dissipated so quickly and cleanly that the soldiers who had gone through it all seemed to wake up from a nightmare.
The garrison officer was shocked, and immediately sounded the alarm, and then ordered loudly: "Immediately notify all teams to inspect all critical facilities!" The squad stationed within the walls and beneath the walls immediately tapped the number of people. Herald! Go inform Chief Johansen now! ”
When the whole pass was in chaos, Yanna and Scarlet had already gone down the city wall, and by the light of the moon, which was not bright, they ran away in the direction of the royal city.
The two trotted all the way for nearly thirty minutes before taking a short break on the side of the road. Scarlet unleashed a probe psychic energy behind her, and it took a long time for her to let out a sigh.
"Safe?" Yanna sat on the ground and asked tiredly.
"Well, it's safe, hmm, Yanna, don't rest, it's not going to be safe all the time, let's keep going." Scarlet dragged Yanna from sitting on the ground.
"Tsk, I still have to run, speaking of which, why are we running? Shouldn't our setting be a brave man from another world? It should be a savior! Yanna muttered.
"We haven't been here for sixty years, and besides, it's really not appropriate for us to directly reveal our identities at this time, after all, those thieves have already logged into this world, and the location is still the summoning stone of the palace, and it is not ruled out that the other party has taken the lead in contacting the aborigines, and even reached a treaty of interest. Therefore, we do not rule out the possibility that the other side will incite the indigenous people to confront us by force. ”
"It's not like we can't beat it... "Do we need to go through so much trouble to be able to do it?!"
"Okay... Yanna also accepted her fate, but thinking that the broken city was getting closer and closer, her mood began to improve.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and walked all night before they arrived in front of a Junyong post station in the early morning. This post station is a relay station for communication between Guankou and Wangcheng, and it is equipped with several fast horses to convey urgent feelings. When the Demon King King captured the pass, it was briefly closed for a while.
Old Jerry was a post guard, and he was nearly fifty years old, and he went to bed early, sleeping very well, not noticing that the two uninvited guests had touched the inn. As the two of them passed by the stable, they saw the neighing of the living horse, and although Scarlet quickly calmed the horses, the noise woke up old Jerry.
Old Jerry quickly got up, took out the short dagger he had privately purchased from under his pillow, whispered to the window, and looked through the windowsill in the direction of the stable. He noticed nothing unusual and did not hear the neighing of the horses again. As a guard, Jerry Sr. walked out of the bedroom door and went to the stables to investigate.
After carefully inspecting the stables with an oil lamp, he found nothing suspicious, and after counting the number of horses, he found no mistakes.
Old Jerry touched his beard, patted the heads of several horses, and under their bewildered gazes, he scolded and went back to sleep. Old Jerry, who was lying on the bed, was swept by a wave of psionic light in a short time, and fell asleep completely.
In the shadows, Yanna and Scarlet reappear. The two went straight to the kitchen of the inn, lit the wood fire, roasted the meat, and took out the bread and sausages that old Jerry had kept. After the two of them ate and drank a lot, they left a few silver sels and left satisfied. As for how frightened this veteran will be when he wakes up, this is not what the two people who have consumed a huge amount of physical strength care about and consider.
"Well, I'm full, I have to say, this satiety system has disadvantages and benefits~ Well, Scarlet, after it goes offline, let's go eat barbecue."
"Haven't you eaten enough? The meat just now is basically in your stomach. ”
"It's just that I've eaten too much, so I'm hungry!"
"Well, if you want to eat, I don't care. Well, let's call those recruits later, and use it as their welcome party. ”
"Uh, are you really going to take it all?" "So what else, I've asked three times, and it says that you don't have to change it, if you want to stay, if you don't, you can return it."
"We really offended the personnel department...
"The dishes are ready, let's try them, these are all made with the best quality ingredients on the planet, you're welcome~!" Paris beckoned everyone in the room, and she, who was usually smiling, smiled even more.
Scarlet looked at Paris, who was warmly welcoming everyone, and remembered that thirty minutes ago, he and Yanna had just gone offline and arranged a banquet for her, and in a short period of time, it had been properly arranged, and the current reception performance could be said to be very good.
Well, it's not without merit, but it's a pity that I'm too timid. Thinking like this, Scarlet turned her head to look at Yanna, who was eating and stuffing, and stopped looking at this starving ghost, and she didn't know how she stuffed so much food with such a small size. Scarlet turned to observe the recruits, which was the main goal of the banquet.
First up is Noelle. Dunken, the North American wild donkey girl who is often mistaken for a rabbit floating lotus seed. To be honest, among the five people who came to reinforce this time, only one can really be regarded as a newcomer. As for people like Noelle, who have participated in dozens of battles and served for nearly ten years, they can't be considered new promotions at all. Her performance at the banquet is also very mature now, sitting upright, elegant but not procrastinating, not looking around, not eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, facing Paris's hospitality, the corresponding is very decent, like a real veteran of a hundred battles.
Seeing this, Scarlet sighed secretly in his heart, Noelle is actually quite good according to her combat qualities, and when she was newly enlisted, she received the attention of the peak because of her performance like a model for the Jun team. In the first battle, Noelle performed extremely well, like a veteran of a hundred battles, so that she repelled the attack of the swarm in an unfavorable situation, and after the commander was injured, led the team to break through the siege and successfully boarded the evacuation ship.
Since then, she has been exceptionally promoted, and even promoted all the way to the company commander candidate. Just when the whole battle group thought that she would become a new battle star, a new generation of war groups, and even a model for the Jun group. Her flaws are gradually exposed, and she keeps making mistakes, not knowing how to be flexible, and not listening to advice, which makes the warband suffer considerable unnecessary losses. The staff's dissatisfaction with her gradually increased, and after Shangfeng talked to her many times, she still insisted on her opinion. In the end, her stubbornness brought down the 10th Company, which was the first time in the history of the warband that the entire company was killed, and it was still under the fire of her own people. This humiliating record made the entire wargroup unable to raise its head for a long time in front of other warbands. Not to mention that after the artillery fire alarmed a large number of sleeping and hidden deep worms, Noeli led the landing team to carry out a battle that could be called a free send-off.
Originally, a non-commissioned officer like her who had made a big mistake was going to be driven away from the war group. However, under his unscrupulous command this time, he accidentally discovered a special psionic insect, which can be regarded as a major discovery. Coupled with her past exploits, and with the help of many former comrades-in-arms who benefited from her, she finally retained her throne. Of course, the company candidate was removed, and she was directly transferred to other companies and started from the grassroots soldiers.
