"Boom!!"

The orange firelight flickered slowly, and the two soldiers were patrolling back and forth with torches, and at this moment they had just walked to the secluded place of the village, when suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and the distant muffled thunder exploded.

"Look at the thunder tonight, I'm afraid it's going to rain hard."

The tall and lanky soldier looked up at the night sky, and there were no stars in the dark night, only a black shadow like a wicker swaying slightly with the night wind.

"Hey, am I dazzled, as if kelp has grown on the stone wall?"

The thin tall soldier hurriedly rubbed his eyes, made sure that he was not mistaken, and patted his companion next to him in shock.

"Poof", his companion was gently patted by him, and he fell to the ground, dying.

He was startled, only to find that his companion had been shot through the cervical vertebrae by a long arrow and was killed on the spot.

"The thunder of Fang Cai covered up the sound of the crossbow arrows breaking the wind, it was an enemy attack!"

The tall and thin soldier's heart trembled, and he took a deep breath and was about to scream, but at this moment, three crossbow arrows instantly pierced his breastplate, and he felt that his eyes were black, and he fell to the ground along with the torch in his hand, and then he knew nothing.

In the inconspicuous corners, ropes hang down from the cliffs, like kelp drifting with the tide in the dark night.

Immediately afterwards, these "kelp" vibrated slightly, making a "buzzing" sound, and one by one the guards of the apocalypse wearing camouflage uniforms climbed ropes and descended from the sky.

"Safety!"

The pioneer squad who took the lead confirmed safety, picked up the torch that fell to the ground, and panicked three times into the sky, and in an instant, all the ropes began to vibrate, and one after another the Apocalypse Guards quickly landed on the ground from the top of the cliff, as if they were scattered by the swarm of insects that suddenly pried open the hive.

Cao Siyuan led five soldiers straight to the largest lookout post, and when they reconnoitred in advance, they thought that that there was the enemy's headquarters, and they were ready to eliminate it in one fell swoop, so as to break up the enemy's effective resistance.

The street battle formation of Tianqiwei was born from the Mandarin Duck formation of the Qi family's army, with a group of six to ten people, Cao Siyuan holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and the other two soldiers who were also holding melee weapons rushed to the front, and behind them were three black phoenix crossbows that provided core firepower.

Under the lookout post, crossbow arrows rang out one after another, and the three repeating crossbows emptied the magazines in an instant, and the four dozing sentinels were immediately shot into hedgehogs and fell down from the high lookout.

Cao Siyuan and two other close soldiers hurriedly got out from behind the bamboo building, and walked towards the bamboo tower mold under the lookout post like a civet cat, and the three crossbowmen behind them kept up with their footsteps while changing magazines.

When the six-person squad rushed to the door of the bamboo building, the crossbowman just changed the magazine and nodded at Cao Siyuan, Cao Siyuan fit and collided, and the thin bamboos were suddenly torn apart.

He took advantage of the inertia of breaking through the gate and rolled on the spot and entered the house, giving up the shooting position of the main entrance to the three repeaters, and the other two melee pawns guarding behind them to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the crossbowmen from behind.

A sleeping soldier in the room was awakened by the sound of the door slamming on the door, and subconsciously sat up, and his almost instinctive reaction made a loud noise, revealing his place in the darkness.

There was a "nail" sound like nails being driven into a plank, and the bamboo-made walls were immediately filled with crossbow arrows, and the hapless soldier lay in a pool of blood, not seeing what the enemy looked like from beginning to end.

A torch lit up, and the bamboo building was instantly illuminated, and to everyone's surprise, there was no one in the huge bamboo building except for the sleeping soldier.

Not only that, but the place where the swords and armor were originally placed was also empty, as if they had just been visited by the Snitch.

You must know that this bamboo tower is probably the largest lookout post in the entire base, according to the method of marching and arranging, there is a good chance that this is where the enemy's command center is located, how can it be this situation?

"Did you fall for it?"

Cao Siyuan was shocked in his heart, afraid that he would fall into the enemy's empty city plan, but would be surrounded in this valley, and immediately had the idea of retreating, but before he could give the order, there was a sudden sound of broken footsteps outside the bamboo building.

"Turn off the lights, encircle!"

Cao Siyuan's face changed, he raised three fingers and made a strange gesture, the soldier with the torch immediately stepped on the torch, the three close soldiers ambushed on both sides of the gate, and the three crossbowmen hid in the corner of the bamboo building, secretly aiming at the gate, as long as someone dared to rush in, they would be shot into hedgehogs immediately.

However, the sound of small footsteps came to an abrupt end outside the door of the bamboo building, disappearing cleanly like a ghost, just as Cao Siyuan frowned, secretly wondering if he had met a master, but heard a special bird cry outside the door.

Cao Siyuan's expression was relieved, and he whistled, which was almost the same as the bird's call.

"My lord, the sixth team has completed its mission and is here to report!"

After getting the identity confirmed, the person outside the door simply whispered to him.

Cao Siyuan greeted the brothers behind him and walked out of the bamboo building, and there was indeed another team of Apocalypse Guards outside the door.

"How did you get the job done so quickly?"

Seeing that a few people looked relaxed, and they didn't even sweat much, Cao Siyuan couldn't help but be surprised.

The captain of the sixth squad looked sneered and said, "We met almost no resistance, and only killed one enemy along the way. ”

"An enemy?!"

Cao Siyuan was shocked, it turned out that not only his side pounced, but the other teams were probably in the same situation.

After a while, all the formations completed their tasks according to the plan, gathered towards the bamboo tower, and in addition to a few scouts, all 123 members of the reconnaissance company arrived without the slightest loss.

Sure enough, everyone was the same, almost no decent resistance was encountered, and Cao Siyuan's team became the most accomplished team.

What's going on, since this base is guarded by officials and soldiers, it must be an extremely important place, why does it seem that people suddenly go to the empty building, leaving only a few old, weak, sick and disabled?

"Your Excellency, you've found your target."

Just as he was thinking, a scout ran over with a plant in his hand.

Cao Siyuan took the half of the branch and leaf and looked at it, it was almost exactly the same as the poppy that Xu Rui painted for them.

"If it's really Fushou ointment, where are those things?"

The scout pointed to the center surrounded by checkpoints and said, "It's in the field, a large area, at least one or two hundred acres, but it's ......."

"But what?"

Seeing that the scout was spitting, Cao Siyuan frowned and asked.

The scout shook his head, "I can't say it, but you should go and see for yourself." ”

Cao Siyuan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked the scout to lead the way, and led the reconnaissance company to rush to the poison field, but when they got there, everyone was speechless by the scene in front of them.

The land that stretched for one or two hundred acres was indeed full of that thing, but at this time, it had been pulled up by all people, and even trampled repeatedly with war horses, and only some stumps remained.

Cao Siyuan picked up a small stump from the ground, the leaves had been wilted after ravage, but they had not yet withered and yellowed, and they should have been disposed of in the afternoon.

"My lord, could it be that someone raided this place before we came and destroyed the poisonous field?"

A soldier was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

Cao Siyuan shook his head: "No, I haven't seen any traces of a fight along the way, and there are guards here, so it can't be a surprise attack." ”

It seems that they can only destroy the poison field themselves, otherwise they will not be able to explain the scene in front of them, and the surprisingly few guards.

But then an even bigger mystery arises: why did those people destroy this cash cow themselves, and what happened here?

Since he came to this secret drug base, he has been full of weirdness, and Cao Siyuan's heart has become more and more uneasy.

"My lord, a large number of footprints and horseshoe prints have been found on the west side path!"

Just then, another scout came rushing and said breathlessly.

"Let's take a look!"

Cao Siyuan's eyes froze, without the slightest hesitation, and hurriedly led people to the path on the west side.

About five hundred meters away from the poison field, there was a narrow path, which seemed to be the gateway to and from the basin, and the ground of the path was indeed covered with dense footprints and horses' hooves, as the scouts had said.

"Ah Hu, come and have a look!"

Cao Siyuan let out a low breath, and a little man in his twenties with dark skin immediately rushed out of the team.

He had been an Orion before joining the army, and he had a knack for tracking footprints.

I saw Ah Hu first light a torch, circle around the footprints, then squatted down, touched the hardness of the soil of the footprints, and dug a small pit nearby to observe the humidity of the soil, and finally returned to Cao Siyuan.

"Lord Qiyu, there are about three hundred people, of which more than a hundred are cavalry, and it won't take more than six hours to leave."

"Six Hours ......"

Cao Siyuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he pondered.

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

In the middle of the night, several non-commissioned officers of the reconnaissance company surrounded him, breaking his musings.

Cao Siyuan gritted his teeth, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"This matter is too weird, you must not just go back, a group of people with poison field samples will return to the Gonghe Mansion camp first, report everything here to Lord Xu, and the others will recover the crossbow arrows as quickly as possible, clean up the battlefield, and then follow the footprints with me, we must find out what happened here!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers returned to their lives in unison.
