Chapter IV: Grouping

After Wu Xin entered the room, he first squatted down to confirm that the servant was unconscious, and then began to observe the situation in the room.

There was a large cupboard in the room with some kitchen utensils, and a small opening in the wall, even the window was a shooting port.

Through the windows, you can see the general structure of the castle, which is quite a large castle, and they are located on the second floor.

"I know what to do." Gonzalez was very unfriendly, and even if Wu Xin used it, it didn't help.

He thinks he should be the natural boss of the team.

Eventually, however, Gonzalez made it to the door, crouched down and put his ear to the floor to listen.

Villefort raised his eyes slightly, he was surprised by Wu Xin's astute reaction.

Wu Xin stepped on the servant's hand, and then said to Villefort: "You wake him up, I think Alpha should have put your tools on you as well, we need to know where the two Earl's younger brothers are held, and the location of the Alchemist and the Count, Mr. Gonzalez, please guard the door and watch out for people walking by." ”

Villefort finally showed a look of surprise.

The golden hourglass still hung in the void, and the sand inside was falling firmly, putting a lot of pressure on everyone.

Wu Xin also knows that his strength is insufficient, and being too active may make people dissatisfied, but at this time, he must show his ability.

Eventually, reluctantly, Villefort pulled out a small black wallet.

Ansena unconsciously took a few steps back after seeing the contents of the bag, trying to move away from Villefort.

Delia also frowned slightly.

Wu Xin was not bad, this gang member has a torture bag on his body, as a person who is specially responsible for collecting debts, this is a necessary skill.

Despite this, Wu Xin did not support direct torture: "Just let him see your tools, and tell him that Miss Earl has seen through that her husband is an evil spell caster, and she asked the bishop for help when she repented, and we were sent by the church to set things right, as long as he cooperates, he does not need to be punished, and if he is a diehard, he will be tortured." ”

Villefort thinks that Wu Xin has a point, although he doesn't know the situation of faith in this world, but he thinks that most of the churches and evil spellcasters who interfere with the inheritance of the nobility are always enemies.

But his actions did not respond to Wu Xin's suggestion, and he took off the servant's pants directly despite the presence of the two ladies, and inserted an iron needle with a barb into his perineum.

The unfortunate servant was in hell, his eyes reddening and his throat rising and falling to roar.

But the two Frenchmen had a tacit understanding, and Tangral covered his mouth the moment Villefort made his move.

"I have a few simple questions for you, and if you answer them honestly, I can make you die a happy death. That way I can hurry up and you can stay in this damn world for a while, which is a win-win. Otherwise, I'll just let you die slowly, and that's not good for you and me. Although he agreed with Wu Xin's words, Villefort refused to increase his prestige, believing that his methods could also succeed.

Villefort pressed and tortured.

Seeing the torture with his own eyes and watching it on TV are completely different things, Wu Xin tried his best to control his expression, he was the first to react just now to hold down the image points obtained by the servant, and he could not be easily damaged.

If it was in his native world, his ability to handle things would quickly allow him to control the team, but in this place where the individual disparity is so great, things become much more difficult.

"I'll say everything............ Please don't hurt me anymore........."

Villefort was barely a professional torturer, and although he had no famous teacher, he was self-taught enough to deal with this unfortunate servant in just a few minutes, and he completely crushed the servant's mind.

The layout of the castle, their location, etc., were quickly asked one by one.

"Someone is passing by."

Suddenly, Gonzalez, who was lying on the ground, seemed to raise his hand to signal Bellford to be quiet.

The servant, whose face was already covered in blood, tried to cry out again at Gonzalez's words, but Tangral covered his mouth again in time.

Soon, Wu Xin also heard the sound of metal banging on the floor.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, a fine layer of sweat broke out on everyone's heads.

When the guards reached the door of the room, the footsteps reached the loudest, the sweat on Ansena's face was already dripping to the ground, Villefort and Tangral were not much better, but Delia was nervous, but Wu Xin saw that her hand holding the mace was still steady.

Fortunately, the guards were in a hurry, and did not intend to scrutinize them, and soon, the footsteps faded away.

After making sure that the guards had walked away for a long time, Gonzalez raised his head: "The six-person squad is very weak, it seems that only the leader of the squad who walked in front is barely a first-class samurai, and the others are inferior to him, and he is not a qualified soldier at all." ”

Gonzalez's performance was also very good, even better than Wu Xin expected, much better.

Can ears alone draw such precise conclusions?

Seeing Wu Xin's suspicious eyes, Villefort shrugged his shoulders: "Although he is not a shrewd person, Gonzalez is a fifth-level warrior, very close to the backbone, which means that his five senses have reached a keen level, and one or two of them are particularly prominent, although my ears are not as good as his, but they are definitely a little stronger than you, I am exactly the same as his judgment, the strength of those people just now is very weak, only one is slightly stronger, but it is the level of ordinary soldiers, and the others do not even have the level of qualified soldiers, It can only be regarded as a miscellaneous soldier. ”

Villefort did not tear down Gonzalez's table again.

Wu Xin nodded: "I don't doubt Gonzalez's judgment at all, I just feel strange, the earl's guards should be more than this level, and judging from the sound of their walking, everyone has heavy armor, and there is no reason to give such good equipment to the rabble, which is unreasonable." ”

At this time, Villefort was asked, and the others all showed expressions of approval, everyone knew that heavy armor was the most expensive equipment, and the value of a high-quality iron armor was far higher than that of an ordinary soldier, and full steel armor was the exclusive property of nobles.

"Maybe this count is very rich? Even a miscellaneous soldier can get a set of heavy armor? Gonzalez was a little intimidated by his own speculation.

"This is the interior of the castle, and the guards must be the elite after selection, and they can't be miscellaneous soldiers." After thinking for a while, Wu Xin also gave a judgment: "Don't forget that this is not our world, maybe the overall strength of the enemy is weaker than we expected, so there will be a weak army with strong armor." ”

He wasted no time in using his experience of reading novels: "Alpha wasted so much effort, it is definitely not to kill us, and the difficulty of the first task must be more reasonable." ”

"Not necessarily, maybe he's just going to play with us." Gonzalez's words are clearly not to be said, morale is the most important thing.

Villefort nodded secretly in his heart, he agreed with Wu Xin's judgment, and then he felt that he also needed to behave: "My intelligence is very clear, the alchemist is in the tower, the count is also there, the count's two younger brothers are under house arrest on the east and west sides of the castle respectively, we only have less than an hour and a half to go, and we must act separately to catch up with the attack on the alchemist located in the tower." ”

"You see, the castle seems to be under siege." Wu Xin asked Gonzalez. "Can you see clearly? It seems that the people outside are organizing a siege? ”

"It should be, it should be a battering cone." It's a small opening, but Gonzalez's eyesight is excellent. "Villefort, ask whose troops it is, and then ask the number of soldiers in the castle, and maybe we can work with the besiegers."

"Uh............... Without this need, how could a servant know such a thing. "Villefort rejected Wu Xin again, but this time he actually wanted to accept it, after all, Wu Xin's suggestion was obviously very good." And it makes sense that Alpha directly arranged us on the second floor, if we go to attack the city gate on the ground floor, and then come back to attack the alchemist on the third floor, we will not have enough time. ”

Wu Xin glanced behind Villefort, where the unfortunate servant had died of exhaustion.

At this time, another series of eager footsteps and shouts rang out, and groups of soldiers quickly passed through the corridor.

"They're guarding the gates, this is our chance, let's do it." Villefort said and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was also very fortunate in the "work" just now.

Wu Xin felt that something was wrong, but he could no longer assert his ideas, and now he needed to remain united rather than-for-tat, and his efforts to gain the initiative had already made Gonzalez unhappy.

"I, Tangral, and Sibo go to the west, and Gonzalez you take the two ladies to the east." Villefort was very direct about a grouping.

Wu Xin didn't want to intensify the contradiction, but Villefort was pressing step by step, in the current situation, he didn't want to hurt Wu Xin, he just wanted to pinch Wu Xin.

Villefort's grouping Wu Xin must not accept it, together with the two Frenchmen, he is still the weakest, even if he will not directly attack the black hand, but it is inevitable to treat him as a consumable.

But if he refuses, it is also very disadvantageous, because if he shows weakness, he will look more like a burden.

"I also think we have to hurry." To make matters worse, Gonzalez also supported Villefort this time, and although the Spanish warrior was the strongest of the men, he was anxious to see the time pass every second. "The hourglass has passed a tenth of its flow."

"No, there is a problem with this distribution, the power is too unbalanced, there is no need for me and Gonzalez to be together, I will go all the way with Cesare, and add a Villefort." Delia had been silent since the mission began, but this time she spoke just right.

Wu Xin glanced at Delia a little unexpectedly, and found that the other party was also looking at him.

Wu Xin realized that her first impression of this girl might not be accurate, this was not an arrogant girl, and her attitude towards that priest must have reasons that she did not understand.

"Okay, you're second only to me, so that's the best distribution." Gonzalez was quick to agree, not realizing that he shouldn't just take a stand and change it so easily. "Hurry up, this hourglass is really annoying."

Villefort may be better, but Delia is a priest and has heavy armor, which is indeed second only to Gonzalez.

The two strongest were on the same page, and although the two Frenchmen were not happy, they could not oppose it.
