Chapter 173: The Bandits' Lair
In the wee hours of the morning.
Eastern of the Empire, the city of Sherantu.
In the dark alley closest to the city gate, 11 figures were crowded, led by Deputy Brigade Commander Dandry Grimm wearing a wide cloak and mask, followed by the Shadow Mage team.
"Number 1, are things all done?"
Dandry glanced at the fact that there was no one chasing behind him, and then he relaxed and asked what had happened.
"It's done. ”
No. 1 said respectfully: "Two hours ago, according to your request, the corpse retained by the law enforcement team was destroyed, and the autopsy report pre-stored in the archives and all those who knew the report were also erased, ensuring that they could not find us." ”
"Hahaha, worthy of the trump card of our troops. ”
Dandry showed a relieved expression, and at the same time he gritted his teeth and said, "I just didn't expect that little ghost to do such a crazy thing in order to splash dirty water on us." ”
He really didn't expect Vega to blame him.
This assassination was carried out only after he figured out the temperament of the government system, and generally speaking, the law enforcement team was unwilling to spend a lot of effort on such idle matters, so he did not even plan to destroy the corpse on the airship secretly.
Coupled with Vega's step to take advantage of the situation, he could only give up the assassination.
But just as he was about to return to Elkia to find another plan.
He received information that the law enforcement team was investigating the real culprit of the airship incident and blocked the city gates.
This news really startled him, but fortunately, his reaction was not slow, so he immediately ordered the Shadow Mage team to investigate and secretly destroy the evidence.
Thanks to the efficiency of the Shadow Mage Squad, he quickly learns the truth.
The law enforcement team that protected that imp is half dead?
The moment he heard the news, he subconsciously thought that other people also wanted Vega's life, and Dandry even gloated because of this, but soon he couldn't laugh because he thought of the key.
"The thief shouted to catch the thief, planted the blame, borrowed the knife to kill, and watched the fire from the other side. ”
This set of serial punches hit him and almost killed him on the spot.
The more Dandry thought about it, the angrier he became, and he slammed his fist against the wall: "Why is this damn little imp so skilled?"
Look at this old way.
Take a look at the realistic acting.
Who can do such a heart-wrenching thing with a child in his 10s, if he doesn't experience it himself, even if he kills him, he won't believe that there is such a fantasy in this world.
It's never too late to make amends.
Anyway, he has already destroyed the evidence, and the people in the government system can't do anything with him without evidence, of course, the premise is how to get rid of the law enforcement team members who are in hot pursuit.
"Brigade Commander, they're catching up again. ”
No. 1 noticed a crowd of people in the distance and hurried to report to Dandry.
Yes, although they managed to destroy the body and related evidence, they were discovered by the law enforcement team in the middle of the retreat, so the law enforcement team is chasing them, and since there is a spirit mage among them, they have no other way but to escape.
Once caught red-handed by the law enforcement team, it is estimated that no matter how much you wash it, it will not be washed in vain.
"We're out of town. ”
Dandry's magic burst out and he swept towards the city gates.
This chase lasted for a whole day and a night, but this time the law enforcement team seemed to be determined to catch them, even if Dandry had escaped a hundred miles away from Shelantu, the law enforcement team had no idea of giving up.
"Ahem, ahem, when did this damn law enforcement team become so dedicated. ”
Dandry's face was pale, and he began to realize that this time the law enforcement team was serious, he had never heard of such a difficult time for the law enforcement team who was good at paddling and fishing.
"Brigade Commander, where are we going?"
No. 1 was also obviously a little sluggish: "The law enforcement team even uses war airships, and if we continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before we are caught." ”
"Captain, when we get to Elchia, are we still afraid of the law enforcement team?" one of the team members glanced disdainfully at the war airship roaming around in the sky.
"Idiot. ”
Hearing this, No. 1 angrily reprimanded: "Returning to Elkia now is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net, or do you think that the military department will really fall out with the government system on the spot in order to protect the brigade commander." ”
"This ......"
Just when everyone was speechless, Dandry clapped his hands and said: "Go to the bandits' lair in the Ropp Forest, the chess pieces that have been cultivated for more than 10 years should also move, if the law enforcement team dares to follow, they will regret it for the rest of their lives." ”
No. 1's eyes lit up.
Only he knows that the real reason why Dandry takes the initiative to apply for the thankless task of suppressing bandits every year is that as early as 10 years ago, Dandry took advantage of his position to take those bandits' nests for his own use.
In a nutshell.
The uncrowned emperor on the Elchia-Shelantu national highway is none other than Dandry Grimm, the deputy commander of the Independent Heavy Brigade of the Seventh Army, who has been playing the trick of catching thieves more than 10 years before Vega.
So after a few days, Dandry managed to enter the Ropp Forest.
The law enforcement team that followed was frantically ambushed by the bandits, and the bandits had a large number of people and a control of the location, making it difficult for the law enforcement team to move an inch in the forest, and even the war airship of the law enforcement team was sunk by two commercial airships in the bandits' nest.
The law enforcement team was defeated.
After all, they are not a team to be used in war.
Coupled with the lack of manpower in the law enforcement team, there was no reinforcement at all, which made Dahl, as the captain of the law enforcement team, extremely angry, but he dreamed of giving an explanation to Vega, and this time failed, all the clues were broken.
————
Elchia-Sherantu National Highway.
Vega rushed with more than 4,000 troops to the target location this time, the Rop Forest.
Although Commander Hausman gave him the go-ahead for the whole army, Vega didn't bring all of his troops with him, as an oversized force would only slow down the whole army and not be able to advance and retreat freely.
And to exterminate a bandit's nest, a regiment-level unit is too enough, but he brought a whole 3, which is already a knife to kill chickens, if the whole army is dispatched, there is really a suspicion of artillery to fight mosquitoes.
"How many days will it take to reach your destination?"
While the large army was encamped, Vega asked his lieutenant Ilo.
"It's about five days. ”
Iloh glanced at the two war airships in the sky, and then said, "If you are willing to use the war airships, I think you can reach your destination tomorrow evening." ”
"There's no need. ”
Vega waved his hand, although he brought two carrier-type war airships to participate in the mission, but Vega did not want to use the war airship to airlift the whole army, because he was not very comfortable with the war airship
If another airship shoots him down, even 10 lives won't be enough to die.
In many wars in the Land of War, Vega lost the war several times because he thought his airspace was safe, and he was shot down or sunk by a war airship, so he didn't have to fly if he could use it in the real world.
Of course, such a long journey from the imperial capital to the east was a last resort.
In a hurry, Vega arrived near the Ropp Forest on the fifth day, and he happened to bump into the defeated law enforcement team, and the leader was an old acquaintance of Vega, the law enforcement captain, Dahl.
