Chapter 083: Encounter with a thief
When Marcos sent someone to take me back to the mercenary hotel, he patted me on the shoulder as if encouragingly, and said, "You go on as planned, but if your men are going to Dehrim, let them not pass through the Central Ranch, where there has been a recent operation, and they can take a detour from Emilin to Biglen." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe sooner you can do this, the better. Remember, you have signed a cursed contract, don't be delusional about being your double agent again. ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Do whatever you want." ”
On the way to Emilin, Guangguang asked me with wide eyes, "They just let you back? No torture or anything? Show me your nails, have they been pulled out?"
I glanced around at the people, added a whip, and my mount rushed to the front of the line. Mitsumi understood what I meant and followed.
I told Mitsumi about Marcos' assassination plan and list. Guangguang obviously reacted the same as me at the time, and he was stunned for a long time before he finally exhaled often: "It's another human tragedy of the palace heir......
I said, "I know why I assassinated the Harlaus, but why did I go out of the way to assassinate those two ministers?"
Guangguang glanced at me disdainfully: "At a glance, I know that you were too careless when you were a bard in the past, where is the ordinary minister, it is the brothers Claes and Dilylinard, when Haraus snatched the crown from the hands of Lady Esona of Suno, relying on the heavy troops in their hands to subdue the princes of the Quartet." These two people can be said to be the henchmen of Harlaus's henchmen, and they are the last line of insurance that Harlaus uses to keep his throne. Now that these two people have two of the most elite legions in the Swadia Empire, if Marcos wants to kill Haraus and seize the heir, he must kill these two people and snatch the military power in their hands, otherwise he is in danger of being overthrown at any time. ”
I nodded in realization, and said, "He seems to know you well." ”
Guangguang said with some pride: "Of course, an excellent intelligence officer like me is the object of investigation and analysis wherever he is placed." ”
I pursed my lips and said, "Obviously, your National Intelligence Agency's own secrecy work is too bad, okay?" By the way, they seem to be trying to blackmail you. ”
Guangguang smiled: "How can you blackmail me? They don't even know the difference between you and me, and if you want to blackmail, you are also blackmailing you, aren't you caught by them and signed that curse contract." ”
I thought for a moment and said, "They seem to be saying that they want to arrest your father in Ziza and your fiancée in Djerkhara and blackmail you." ”
Guangguang's smile immediately froze on his face, and he was stunned, and suddenly turned his horse back and ran.
I shouted at him, "Where are you going?"
Guangguang's voice came from afar: "It's over, it's over, we have a conspiracy inside, such a secret thing has been discovered, I want to go back and save people!"
I said, "It's too late, I guess it's already tied up now." ”
Guangguang cried and said, "Then what do you say?"
I said, "Let's do what they ask us to do, and just wait and see how things develop, since they are using them to blackmail you, there will be no danger in the short term, and we can just buy some time to do something." ”
Guangguang hung his head and said, "I'm so distracted right now that I can't think of anything I can do. ”
I said, "Aren't you best at being a double agent, so let's do it this way." ”
Guangguang glanced at me, calmed down and thought about it, and gritted his teeth fiercely: "Okay, he Marcos wants to use me, but he can't calculate it and makes a fatal mistake in you." It's just that I'm wondering, why don't they know you?"
I shook my head, "I don't know. What's more, in addition to their lion's tooth identity, they also have another identity, that is, members of Deep Blue, and I always feel that their assassination plan is not as simple as seizing the heir on the surface. ”
Guangguang touched his bald head and said, "Forget it, don't think about it if you can't figure it out for a while." We will soon reach Emilin, and after Emilin we will turn east to Beglen, and then it will be safe. ”
I looked to the east and said, "When you get to Biglen, go north on your own and go to Banbu Mountain, where you will be answered." ”
Guangguang was taken aback and said, "Aren't you going with us? Isn't this the opportunity you have been waiting for a long time to attract people's hearts?"
I sighed and said, "When you get to Biglen, you'll be much safer all the way, and I have my own things to do, and it's been delayed for too long, and I can't delay it any longer." I said, touching the note my godmother had left for me in my arms, she said to meet in Uxhall, but I had too much time to delay on other things.
The team rested for a while in Emilin, and Guangguang asked the villagers for some rations and supplies with the wine sold in the caravan. A few young men came to me and asked to join my "mercenary army", saying that they wanted to leave the village and go to the world. I immediately remembered that back then, I was also such a second force, smiled, and didn't agree. The lads were tormented and left sadly.
From Emilin, the next stop to the east is Tosdel, more than fifty miles away, and after Tosdel, about the same distance is Bügren, and when I reach Büglen, my journey is over, and then I will head south to Uxhall alone.
We didn't expect to be seven or eight miles away from Emilin when we were met by the bandits, and at first five or six men in leather robes and bald horses circled our procession and soon left. I didn't care about it, but Parker found me and said that those five or six people were spies of the bandits, and they should have stepped on it just now, so they went back to call someone, and it was estimated that it would not be long before we would meet a bunch of poor and crazy bandits. Parker also said with regret that now we are sleepy and poor, and our weapons are poor, so Long You was attacked by shrimp in shallow water, and in the past, he took a team of 100 to destroy the bandits.
It's certainly good to reminisce about the past, but it can't be divorced from reality either. I looked at the surrounding terrain, it was all pastures with a flat river, and it was really difficult for our 100 wounded soldiers and more than 40 poorly equipped cavalry to deal with the bandits, so I ordered to turn the horse's head and go back to Emilin to avoid it.
The chief of the village of Emilin was stunned for a moment when he saw our large army coming and returning, and then his face immediately became ugly, and while he commanded everyone to hide in a disorderly manner, he ran up to me and asked me what was the matter, if I had encountered a difficult bandit. I nodded, saying that I didn't know the specifics, so I planned to go back to the village to avoid it. The village chief immediately became full of grief and indignation, and while holding the wine we exchanged for him, he roared angrily: "You businessmen, you hate you the most! You have no sense of responsibility or responsibility at all! Those bandits are all coming for you, what does it have to do with us poor villagers? You have to run back and lure the bandits back, and when the time comes, whether you win or lose, you pat your ass and leave, and it is us honest villagers who are unlucky! We are kind enough to give you dry food, and this is how you repay us?"
I was frightened by the village chief's sudden outburst, and listened to his series of crackling roars, and for a moment I felt that it seemed that we were really wrong, and almost ordered the troops to withdraw from the village, when a heavy thunder suddenly sounded in the distant grassland, and this thunder came from far and near, and came very quickly.
The old village chief's face immediately turned pale, and he fled back to the room in a trembling voice, and slammed the door. Then I understood that the bandits were coming.
Before that, I had never taken the bandits to heart, after all, what I had been dealing with was the Nord government army, the Swadia government army, the old G's Chanda Guard, the Dark Order Cathar, the Dark Inquisition, the Deep Blue, the National Intelligence Agency, and the Lion's Tooth...... What is a bandit? It's nothing more than a monster that gives experience. But this stupid thought soon made me almost bite my tongue.
When the first bandit appeared on the grassland outside the village, he was dressed in neat and clean fur armor, without a helmet, and his long purple hair fluttered in the wind of the grassland. This is a handsome man, but with a face that is standard Rhodock, with resolute eyes, tough cheek lines, and a standard inverted triangle body shape. He carried a kugit riding bow in his left hand and a large pot of arrows on his back. A scimitar and a spear hung diagonally from the saddle of the white horses under his crotch.
Behind him appeared a group of well-dressed knights, all agile as apes, whistling in their mouths, extending the battle line to the flanks, slowly, circling, approaching like Emilin.
Parker's face was ugly, and he immediately ordered the brothers to retreat into the center of the village, where they were fortified with their houses. He shook the Germanic sword in his hand, and said with a bitter face: "The difference is too great......
Yes, the difference is too great, the other side has at least five hundred knights, we have less than two hundred, and all of them are wounded, the other side is fully armed and well-equipped, except for the black knights, the rest of the sect can only have a rusty Germanic sword for every two people. It's not going to be able to fight at all!
Not to mention the immediacy of the other party's performance, Parker muttered and confessed, even the 100-man team of guards under Vicente was nothing more than that.
The thieves quickly surrounded Emilin, and the man at the head stepped forward alone, stopped less than ten meters away from the entrance of the village, and shouted in his voice with a slight Rhodoc dialect accent: "Listen inside, you have been surrounded, lay down your weapons and goods, and I will let you live!"
I glanced back at Parker, "It's good that they're just asking for money, so give it to them." ”
Parker nodded in humiliation and helplessness, shouting, "We hand over the goods, and we hope you keep your promise!"
The leader of the bandits nodded quickly, and shouted, "I, Du Fulong, have always done what I say!Put down the goods, withdraw from Emilin, and I will never touch a single hair of you!" he said, waving his hand, and a gap opened in the encirclement to the west of Emilin.
But Parker's eyes widened, and he shuddered, and his fingers dug into the dirt. He asked in a trembling voice, "Who do you say you are?"
The leader of the bandits glanced at him with strange eyes, and his chest straightened again: "Du Fulong! I can't change my name or change my surname, Du Fulong is me!"
Parker suddenly took out a light crossbow from the cloak behind his back, I never knew that there was a light crossbow hanging on his back, and he raised his hand to shoot Du Fulong on his horse, and a crossbow arrow was stuck only a few centimeters away from his heart.
It was only then that I reacted, roared and roared, "Prepare for war!" and pulled out the military hoe at my waist.
At this time, the bandits also reacted, howling angrily one by one, and drove their horses to pounce.
The battle began.
