"Count you kid slippery, I'll see if you dare to spread rumors everywhere!" Erin scolded outside the wall.

"He's telling the truth. Nock muttered secretly.

"What did you say!?"

......

In this way, Black Springs spent every day in laughter and play, Christina and Liana were tired of talking about each other every day like conjoined babies, and even Ray sat on the cold bench with the cold. Idle, he spent his days in Julio's old study, trying to find any record of the scroll's text in the vast collection of books.

Others were busy collecting captives to become their own forces, and Chauvin also benefited from his sister's close relationship with the regimental leader, and now he and Morred managed the entire Shadow's accounts.

The two money fans recorded all the materials and money one by one, and unless there was a signed approval slip from Lei, the others would not want to get a penny from them even if they said dry saliva.

The operation of the gathering place is very smooth, whether it is the laterite mining area or the black spring, it is full of prosperity, which is a change that everyone can feel.

After a period of life and repair, the strength of the shadow has doubled, and with the fusion of Brian's forces and the soldiers of the Black Spring, the number of soldiers has reached 1,500.

Ray ordered ten heavy guns to be transformed into artillery wagons, and with these big guys, it would be much easier to attack the fortified positions.

Everyone was gearing up to see that Ray was about to make the next move, and this kind of idleness was a kind of torture for them.

Ray was studying the map of the Borderlands in his study when he heard messy footsteps outside. He opened the door and found An Zifeng, Ding Rannuoke and other key members all guarding the door.

"What are you doing here? ”

"Ray, if we continue like this, we will all get moldy, do you have any plans to stop hiding from us. Nock asked straight to the point.

"I have an idea, but I don't have a mature plan yet, I didn't expect you to be more anxious than me, since you asked, let's discuss it first. You see, 90 kilometers east of the Black Spring, across this mountain range to the plains on that side. Ray briefly said the next step.

"There! There's the territory of the Throne of Winter! Captain, have you thought about it? The Throne of Winter isn't as simple as the Black Fountain, it's a veritable behemoth, it's already taking shape, and I've heard it's actually controlled by the Murphy family. Brian was shocked, he knew more about the Borderlands than anyone else.

"Brian, you used to think we couldn't lay the Black Spring, and now we're sitting here. There are no absolutes, and together we work to create another shadow miracle. ”

Ray didn't take his concerns seriously, in fact, he had his own plans, if he couldn't enter the core area of the Borderlands, Shadow, he would not be able to enter the stage of power, and the enemies he faced were getting stronger and stronger, and there was no chance to grow peacefully.

Others also expressed their support for Ray's decision, and the Winter Throne was a piece of fat, even if it was against the rest of the Murphy family.

An Zifeng offered to collect information on the Winter Throne himself, and Lei decided to go with him himself this time to rest assured, while the others were in charge of pre-battle planning and drills.

The next morning, Lei and An Zifeng set off, Xiaobai followed, and Christina reluctantly sent them out of the gate of the black spring.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, wait for me. Ray said, stroking her cheek.

Christina nodded and watched them disappear into the wilderness for a long time.

A distance of less than 100 kilometers is only half a day's journey for them. The two of them did not rush into the city of the Winter Throne, and spent an afternoon of work surveying the terrain on the periphery.

An Zifeng carefully marked them one by one on the drawings, "Head, you see the city wall, it is the arc of the inward bend, if you attack from this side, the entire front area is an artillery bombardment area, this design is really ingenious, it seems that this winter throne is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." ”

"Don't worry, no matter how strong the defense line is, there will be weaknesses, after all, this is the secret industry of the Murphy family, it is definitely not that simple, this is almost a complete system of cities, and we will completely gain a foothold in the borderland. Ray turned over and took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Are you really relieved to leave Liana in the shadows?" An Zifeng also turned over and lay down, and he rarely smoked, he actually took the cigarette that Lei handed him and lit it.

"I've watched her for a long time, she doesn't look like she's acting, and Christina has a lot of trust in her, and you know that she has a lot of mental ability, and she should have no problem with the people she approves. In the future, we will definitely have to settle accounts with some people in the Bright Public, and she can help somewhat. ”

"That's good, I think Ding Laosan seems to really like that chick, yesterday he went to find someone with a dead face and was beaten again, and last night he dragged me to drink with him all night without saying a word. An Zifeng's sudden news made Lei choke on a cigarette and cough constantly.

"Ahem, ahem... Ahem... Why didn't this kid listen to persuasion, Liana's real strength may be stronger than mine, people like her will only surrender to men who are stronger than her, although Ding Ran can also suppress her in the future, but that is later, you shouldn't provoke her now, I didn't expect that he who has always been crazy and crazy actually has a delicate side, and he pulls you to drink. ”

"Head, you may not realize it, but Liana seems to be interested in you. An Zifeng spoke surprisingly again.

Ray almost jumped up, "Crazy!

"I'm just reminding you, because I've found that Liana is cold to everyone, and only when you appear can you have the gentleness of a woman. An Zifeng puffed out a cigarette, Lei knew his worries, and was afraid that Ding Ran would have a misunderstanding.

"I don't have any feelings for her at all, and I'm also a comrade-in-arms, I'll handle our relationship well, do you think Christina is aware of it?" Ray couldn't help but ask, he still couldn't understand the question of looking at feelings.

"What do you say? someone as smart as she must have noticed it, I guess she left Liana because she wanted her to help you in the shadows, with Liana's ability to be definitely a right-hand man, the less dangerous you are, there is nothing more important in her world than you. ”

"Madman, you have a very good eye for this, and you can even speculate on it. There is no wine, it is rare to have a good chat with you. ”

An Zifeng took out a military kettle and shook it, handed it to Lei and said, "That's because you are stupid, I really don't know how you have come over the past hundred years, by the way, boss, why haven't you aged all these years, could it be another characteristic of the perfect gene body?"

Lei took two sips and handed the kettle to An Zifeng and said, "This is another topic I want to tell you, I don't know anything about the past, if I recover my lost memories, I may be able to solve all the puzzles, and now I have some clues." ”

Ray told An Zifeng about the information and scrolls that Liana had seen, and also told him some of the speculations he had made these days.
