Chapter 14: The Strange Affair at Carlin Bay

Lynn led a group of fifty cavalry of the Gripen Guards after two days of travel to Carlin Bay, where they settled in the ruined castle, which had recently been repaired for more than a long time.

In addition to the garrison of an independent battalion of the Gripen Legion, the city has recently begun to usher in the development of commerce.

Merchant inns, cargo distribution centers, and some nearby artisans began to set up shop in the renovated western half of the city at Carlin Bay Castle.

Inside a newly renovated mansion.

Lynn was sitting in the study looking at the military reports coming from all over the place, and the commander of the Carlin Bay garrison at the door, the former commander of the Gripen Legion Cavalry Regiment De Bruyne, pulled the thin monkey aside and whispered, "Is it convenient for Lord Lord now?"

"What's the matter?"

"We lost half a bag of bread and a bag of wheat flour. ”

The thin monkey looked at De Bruyne with a nervous face, and said with an angry smile: "That's it, my lord has a lot of things on hand, who has the time to take care of the theft cases in your army? ”

De Bruyne blushed and hesitated: "This matter has been investigated, and there is no clue at all." ”

Han Niu on the side couldn't help but move from the post at the door, leaned over and said: "Most of the brothers in your army eat by themselves, and when I am hungry, I will also find the baggage team in charge to get bread." ”

"You can take it not because you are the personal guard of the adult, otherwise you will be picked up by the inspector team and brought to justice. "Skinny Monkey disdainful.

Han Niu hummed and chirped, not feeling embarrassed at all, but quite proud.

Deblaune shook his head and said, "The garrison of Carlin Bay is all from the Gripen Legion. The discipline requirements have always been strict, and I specifically asked the brothers who went in and out of the baggage camp if they were given food, and you also know that if you eat more food, you will not touch military law at all in the legion, and you will not be punished, and if someone eats it, she will definitely admit it.

The captain of the baggage team, Karius, also said that it was definitely not the brothers' food, he only counted the bread bags in the morning, and put them in the basket, it was the brothers' lunch today, but when it was time to eat at noon, he found that half a bag was missing, and after careful checking, he found that there was still a bag of wheat noodles missing, and finally reported it to me. ”

The thin monkey sneered, "Someone must be hiding this matter, anyway, there is still a period of time before nightfall, I will accompany you to investigate, there is no need to alarm the adults about this matter, there are military emergency reports everywhere in the Riverland, King's Land, the North, and the Great Wall of Desperation, and the adults have not been able to travel safely in the past two days." ”

De Bruyne nodded his head and quickly slipped back to the camp of the Carlin Bay garrison from the mansion with the skinny monkey.

Han Niu didn't take things to heart, and was on duty outside Lynn's study until the evening, when the sun was setting, he saw the thin monkey walking back with a heavy face.

Sterling, the skinny monkey, touched his chin as he walked, chanting words.

Han Niu grinned and asked, "Have you found the inner ghost?"

Sterling frowned, "No, hell! a camp of thousands of people, heavily guarded, who can take some food without even noticing?"

"Do you want to tell your adult about it?"

The thin monkey sighed and nodded in gratitude.

Lynn put down the military report, knocked his fingers on the table slowly, looked at the thin monkey in front of him with a helpless face, and frowned.

According to the almanac, Kalim Bay was built by the ancestors 10,000 years ago, and it was the key to the defense of the north, and was reduced to ruins by countless attacks by the Andals, and has been uninhabited for centuries.

As a strategic location in the face of southern aggression, Kekarin Bay City has an incomparable strategic position, and a group of Ze soldiers sent by the Li De family before was simply stationed here.

"Could it be that Carlin Bay has not been restored to its former city-state, not because the Reed family can't afford to rebuild it, but because there are other secrets?"

What Lynn was worried about now was that there were some ghosts and gods that were lingering in this ruined city.

He led the soldiers of the Guards to the garrison camp, only to see the captain of the baggage team, Karius, sitting cross-legged in the middle, swearing by a gambling curse. said that he was absolutely not guarding and stealing, and the thing disappeared under his nose.

The surroundings were full of soldiers, and there were passing caravans in front of the camp gate who listened to the news, and the crowd of people crowded their heads to watch the excitement.

Many of them began to whisper mysteriously.

Needless to say, it must have something to do with ghosts and gods.

"Let's disperse! It's just a little food lost, it's not a big deal, maybe it was taken by a rat, and Han Niu went to drive away those idlers at the gate of the camp, and the barracks is a place where these people can watch?"

When the people saw that the lord had spoken, they dispersed in twos and threes.

Karius, the captain of the baggage team, walked up to Lynn and said, "Lord Lord, the little one really has no ......."

Lynn nodded and interrupted his later words: "Of course you didn't take it, the loss of things has nothing to do with you!" What Lynn said was categorical, the Gripen Legion was all redeemed by his own points, and he knew this matter best, the system soldiers would not be bored enough to do such stupid things.

Seeing Lynn say this, Karius's spirit immediately relaxed, and he pointed to the subordinates of the baggage team who were digging a ditch and said: "My lord, it is impossible for someone to dig a tunnel, the groundwater here is shallow, and the water can be dug out less than a zhang deep, which is not suitable for digging a tunnel at all, and there are still a few breaches in Carlin Bay City that have not been repaired, and there is no need to dig a trench to attack the castle that has not been broken for centuries, if it was a tunnel in ancient times, it would have been blocked because no one maintained it all year round."

"The garrison had been personally chosen by Commander de Bruyne, and he had been stationed for several months, and he had not seen a few rats, but even so, the thing disappeared in broad daylight. ”

Only then did Lynn remember that De Bruyne, the commander of the garrison here, had been promoted by himself.

Looking left and right to see no one, Lynn frowned and asked, "What about your commander?"

One of the guards explained, "It seems that I have brought people to drive away the crows." ”

Crow?

Lynn looked around, and suddenly found a flock of crows on the ruined city wall not far away, surrounded by a few soldiers with long poles, and asked in his heart, "Why have so many crows appeared here to harass you recently?"

Karius nodded and said, "Yes, and it's not recent, when we first set up here, the beasts were walking around the city walls every day, and as long as they got to the cooking point, the flat-haired beasts flew around the tent, you see, the good tents are full of bird droppings, and every time they cook, when they start eating, the small ones have to take big poles to drive these beasts away, otherwise there will be bird droppings falling and ruining the food." ”

Lynn sighed, staring at the red-eyed crows on the ramparts, picking their feathers with their claws, occasionally croaking, and seemingly unconcerned about the soldiers holding poles below.

Karius cursed: "These beasts, it seems that they are really not afraid of people at all, strange things. ”

Lynn's face turned cold, and he said to Han Niu, "Let your men try it with bows and arrows." ”
