Chapter 52, the chicken and dog are restless
The Thracian barracks were densely built, one next to the otherβthe weather was too cold, and the barracks were built closer to each other to reduce the degree of cold exposure of the soldiers when patrolling outside, and to avoid non-combat attrition.
Of course, they also pay attention to fire prevention, almost every tent has a bucket of water in it, and there are sand piles and felt cloth in many places, which can be used for fire prevention, especially in key areas that are prone to fire - such as grass barns, firewood piles, grain depots and other places, which are heavily guarded, and there are enough people to watch at all times to prevent fires.
"Doesn't look funny!" Standing in the shadows not far from the grain depot, Horus smacked his lips and said on a private chat channel, "This posture looks like it can't be set on fire." β
"There is no program in the world that is bug-free. Panda replied, "Look for it slowly, we have time." If you can't find it today, you'll look for it tomorrow, and if you can't find it tomorrow, you'll find it the day after tomorrow, and you'll find it sooner or later. β
"We've killed a few sentinels before, we'll alarm them. β
"Alarmed, alarmed, can they still bite us?"
Horus smiled: "You're right! Even if they are alarmed, it is nothing more than the patrols working harder, and there is no way that there is no shadow in the entire barracks for us to sneak into." β
With stunts, the two of them walked around the straw barn, firewood, and grain depots, looking for loopholes in the defense, and searched for three or four hours to make sure that there was indeed no chance tonight, so they left nonchalantly.
On the way out, they easily killed another five-man patrol.
The strength of these Thracian soldiers was not weak, but it was still much worse than the elite who were responsible for attacking the fortifications, and with the fact that Panda and Horus were sneak attacking, this patrol also failed to raise the alarm until death.
At about five or six o'clock in the morning, Panda and Horus returned to the mountain.
They had bypassed the peaks and passed through the narrow, rugged and steep paths of the mountains, which the Molai did not conceal, but even if they had given the Thracians a dare, they did not dare to attack the rear of the Norma Mountains from these paths, bypassing the silver coin defense in the presence of the Molais.
That's death!
On this narrow and rugged mountain road, even a master of the level of pandas would be embarrassed in the face of stones thrown down from the top of the mountain. If you block the road with something in front of you, and replace it with a sniper with a strong crossbow on the top of your head, then let alone an ordinary Thracian soldier, even if a legendary strong man comes, he will be disgraced and flee with his legs.
The Thracians were not stupid and certainly would not choose to die like this, so Panda and Horus easily followed the rugged mountain road to the fortress garrisoned by the Morian army.
"Stop!
"My own people, just returned from the assault on the Thracian military camp. β
An elite soldier of the Norma family walked out, and a white crystal in his hand glowed blue and shone on their bodies.
"Where are you stationed?"
The panda pointed to the mountain in the distance.
The soldier looked in the direction of his finger and shook his head: "There are several fortresses over there, which one exactly?"
Panda said his fortress number.
So the soldier sent the news back, and after a while, the officer in charge of the fortress verified Panda's words.
When they learned that the two people in front of them were really masters who went down from the frozen mountains, infiltrated the Thracian military camp to wreak havoc, and then came back alive, the eyes of the soldiers changed.
Before, their eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion, but now they have all turned into respect and even worship - to be able to slide down the iceberg in the middle of the night and survive after sneaking into the Thracian military camp, such a good man is certainly worthy of respect and worship!
In the face of their respect, Horus smiled and made a calm appearance, and the panda remembered another thing and told them: "We didn't have a good result tonight, and tomorrow and even in the next few days, it is estimated that we will quietly run to find an opportunity, and try to seize the opportunity to make them a big news." If you see signs of fire or unrest in the Thracian barracks, be prepared to defend. β
The soldiers nodded their heads in agreement, remembering the incident in their hearts.
Then, the pandas took the funicular sled back to the top fortress where they were stationed, rested for a good day, and went down the mountain again at night.
This time the Thracian military camp was obviously much more prepared than yesterday, and the soldiers patrolling were at least ten people, and the density was very high, and they kept coming and going, and from a distance it looked like there were countless fireflies hovering in the darkness.
But this is useless, in the face of two saboteurs whose stealth ability is comparable to that of professional thieves, the patrol can play no more than rely on the outnumbers to avoid being attacked by Panda and Horus.
The area around the supply warehouse is heavily guarded, with twice as many soldiers guarding as there were yesterday, and several others who are obviously magicians are on guard.
The panda and Horus didn't get close at all, but found a dark place and watched from a distance.
"They looked nervous. "If we strike again tonight, they may be even more nervous tomorrow." β
"Then them!" said Horus.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
So they wandered around the barracks, found a group of relatively lone patrols, attacked and attacked, and killed all ten people in one go.
However, this time, the patrolmen were finally able to raise their voices and let out a terrible scream.
With the screams of the patrolmen, the barracks suddenly boiled, and a large number of soldiers flocked to the place, but only saw the patrolmen on the ground.
Before they could start their investigation, the screams of the patrol soldiers were heard from another place.
The Thracian barracks were completely in disarray, and the sleeping soldiers were woken up one after another, searching and patrolling everywhere for clues to the attackers. The officers who led the team gritted their teeth one by one, swearing that if they caught the attackers, they would be cut up with knives and fed to the dogs!
But it didn't make sense, because Panda and Horus had already gone back.
After returning to the fortress and getting another good night's sleep, they planned to leave again in the evening, but were persuaded by Naikhart, who had returned from a vacation.
"It's boring to go every day. "Why don't you rest for two days?" In two days, I'll go with you!"
The pandas pondered for a while, felt that this statement was also reasonable, and rested for a few days. Eat and sleep well every day, exercise in your spare time, learn martial arts, and live a relaxed life.
They were easy in the mountains, but not at all in the Thracian barracks below. For several days in a row, the entire Thracian military camp was busy searching, looking for spies who might have infiltrated it. As a result, the spy was not found, but a lot of all kinds of messy and bullshit things were found, such as lying about merit, encroaching on military supplies, and falsely reporting troops...... When the summary report was delivered to the Marquis Henry, he only read it for a while, and his face turned white with anger.
"Check! check me hard!" he yelled angrily.
As a result, the Thracian army launched a large-scale picket work, and for a time the atmosphere in the army was heavy and the people were in turmoil.
In this turbulent atmosphere, the panda and the three of them visited the vast military camp again......
They didn't know that for these two madmen who had taken advantage of the night to descend from the mountains to attack the Thracians, the Molai elite were real
