Chapter 93: Special Captive
McCann had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood, not only because there were less than 100 of the 500 soldiers left under his command, but more importantly, he didn't find Theor.
After McCann contacted Theor during the retreat, he was busy gathering the fleeing soldiers, and dragged all the way to the agreed meeting place, which must have been much slower than Theor, but when he got there, he only saw a very small number of soldiers scattered in the ranged troops, and Theor was nowhere to be seen.
At first, McCann thought that Thioll would also have to restrain the soldiers of the long-range troops, she had no experience in this area, so she was slow, but after waiting for a while, he found that things did not seem to be so simple, so after ordering the soldiers to rest in place for defense, he himself once again set out on the road to Yuanwang Town, this time of course, not to attack the city, but to find people.
Along the way, McCann saw a number of scattered defeated soldiers, which further confirmed that his previous guess was wrong, and Tior did not even rein in the remnants of these soldiers, and it is likely that she only gave an order to retreat when retreating, and did not even tell the soldiers where to retreat.
McCann had to spend some more time guiding these remnants to the temporary garrison in a small valley, and then continue to Yuanwang Town, the war can be lost, after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but the second miss must not have an accident, otherwise, all these surviving soldiers, including him McCann, will have to pay for the second miss!
Soon, McCann climbed a small slope, which was not too far from Yuanwang Town, and it was a high point on this flat land where Yuanwang Town was located.
McCann looked out over the town, which was still so quiet and peaceful, in stark contrast to the terrible atmosphere of war left outside the walls, the gates of the town were open, the drawbridge had been lowered, and the soldiers had been sent out to clean up the battlefield, while the two forces that had dealt the most blows to them, a strange cavalry unit and an all-lizardmen-spear army, were on guard from the sidelines.
McCann's gaze continued to move, not far from the side of the town, a group of about 200 people was moving towards the drawbridge, McCann could barely see their situation, they were not holding weapons in their hands, but all kinds of tools for work, it should be too late to move back to the city, so they were ordered to take shelter nearby.
This situation is very common, after all, not every war has enough time for these people to go back to the city to take refuge.
McCann's gaze swept over them, and then he looked elsewhere, there were still people on the city walls, there were not many of them, probably the management of the town, but he was too far away to see what they looked like, and other than that, there was nothing unusual around the town.
McCann wondered in his heart, Thioll didn't gather the remnants of the army and go back to the meeting point, nor did she show up around the town, where would it go? Could it be that she rushed back to the Wall family in a fit of anger because of this war defeat?
Shaking her head, McCann pushed this idea out of her mind, it didn't do her any good to do that, without McCann and others to help her explain, with her as a layman in the war, it was very difficult to explain how this battle was lost, although the mother of Wall was not very proficient in warfare, but she would never allow her daughter to be so stupid, if Theor didn't want to completely lose the love of Mother Wall, she would never be idiotic enough to do such a stupid thing.
So...... Where did she go?
McCann's head was about to break, and suddenly he was shocked, his eyes moved quickly, and once again fell on the 200 or so workers, almost screaming, oh my God, that second lady wouldn't really do that!
However, his suspicion was soon confirmed.
The workers soon came to the drawbridge and began to enter the city in a procession, but halfway through the city, a figure suddenly rushed towards it from the strange cavalry procession.
Although he couldn't see it very clearly, McCann was sure that the figure was the leader of the team, a strange-looking woman who didn't look very old.
She rushed straight into the ranks, causing a small commotion at once, and the next moment, another figure swept out of the ranks under her pressure.
At this moment, McCann's heart was only left with a sigh, for the past month, he could see that figure every day, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.
That's the second lady of the Wall family, Tior!
McCann was tempted to rush out to help, but reason prevented him from doing so, and just watched, watching as Tior fought with the woman with some "bestiality" before being quickly knocked to the ground.
Hurry back to the Wall family, report it all, and wait for it to happen.
That's the only thought left in McCann's mind when Tior was tied up and pressed into town, and he didn't linger anymore, turned around, and quickly left.
Tior obviously didn't expect to be caught so easily.
After receiving McCann's request to retreat, Tior woke up from being beaten stupid, no, it should be said that she was still in a state of being beaten stupid, but from blindness to full of anger, at that moment she thought a lot, the command of this war was obtained from the hands of the mother of the wall with great effort, and it took effort to prepare in the early stage, and even the 500 troops were personally selected by her, and they were definitely the best within the range of choices.
However, all of this, in this short period of time, was completely reduced to ashes, and her troops were not even able to climb the not-so-high wall on the opposite side!
The war was lost, and she had even guessed what she would face when she returned, and her mother's attention would be minimized, and even her status as the administrator of the intelligence system would likely be revoked, and she would become the laughing stock of her sisters or even a victim of the next sister's competition......
All of this rushed into her brain, shattering the last bit of sanity in her brain, and there was only one thought left in her mind - I can't just go back!
It was then that the group of withdrawn workers came into her sight, and a bold and almost crazy idea was born in her head.
The ultimate truth is that she succeeded, and she succeeded in meeting the person she wanted to assassinate, but in a different way......
She really couldn't understand why she had managed to blend in with that team, and for the sake of safety, she didn't hesitate to blend in with those disgusting and smelly lizardmen to cover up her outstanding figure, why was she still discovered?
Of course, none of that matters anymore.
She saw Langdon, and Langdon also saw her, but then, it was calmer than she imagined, and only said casually: "I don't have time to pay attention to her now, lock her up first, and then I can use it to exchange it for some good things in her family." ”
This attitude is no different from that of any ordinary captive!
