Chapter 289: A God-Given Opportunity
Counting the two guards he had just captured, Leach had already taken ten of them from the Rebels' lair.
At the beginning, after hearing the news that a wild man suddenly appeared near the cottage, most of the people were more surprised than frightened, and many people even made a bet to see who could catch the wild man.
But when the people who volunteered to act as bait were easily captured by the savages one after another in full view, more and more people felt panicked, wondering if the next unlucky person to be captured and eaten as food would be themselves.
As the panic gradually spreads, in the end, several leaders of the "rebels" have to come forward and organize a trapping operation, and the two people who have just been captured by Leach are very unlucky to be selected as bait.
It's a pity that the so-called wild man is actually Leach pretending, not at all as they imagined that he was in a state of confusion, and today Leach just dressed up and sneaked over, and he noticed something wrong at the first time.
Just last time, when Leach pretended to be a wild man to make trouble, the two people who were pushed out as bait were so frightened that their legs and stomachs were trembling, but today it was different, those two guards behaved too calmly, and even had the leisure to laugh there, which was too abnormal.
To be honest, they were just a group of thugs, and no matter how much they trained, even if they made progress in less than a year, they were very limited, so after a period of observation, Leach quickly figured out how their ambush circle was set up.
After that, things were much simpler, Leach rushed up as fast as he could, knocked the two guards unconscious, and then rushed out of the gap in the ambush circle of the "rebels" in one go, without any mud. As for what version of the story that the people in the cottage will make up about the wild man eating man, that's none of his business.
In order to grasp the information in the cottage as soon as possible, every time Leach arrests people and returns, they will be "tortured to extract confessions". However, it seems that this is a bit excessive, and there is no need for Leach to use any means, and these "rebels" who have little loyalty to speak of are all answering questions in order to ensure their own safety.
It's a pity that the people who were pushed out as bait were all those who had no status in the cottage, and the news that Leach got was some trivial things, such as who had a holiday with whom, and what was wrong with him, what life in the cottage was not at all human, and so on.
Leach basically didn't ask for the information he wanted to know, and the only useful thing was to know the general location of the warehouse where the treasures were stored in the cottage, but it was also very limited. What is in the treasure house, how to open the door of the treasure house, and how many defenses are inside and outside the treasure house, these are all questions and questions.
Today, however, Leach has something new.
After the two captured guards woke up, they first waved their hands and feet indiscriminately and shouted "help" and "don't eat me", and after making a fuss for a long time, they found that they were still safe and sound, and then they dared to open their eyes to observe where they were.
found that there was no terrifying-looking man-eating monster as imagined, and what appeared in front of them was a very handsome young man with messy hair, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and their hearts rose again after realizing that they were tied up with five flowers.
Leach originally had no hope for this "forced confession" at all, and judging from the experience accumulated in the previous few times, even if he asked, it was just a bunch of nonsense, but out of consideration of what happened, he went through this routine again.
What Leach didn't expect was that this question really asked for a very useful piece of information.
Someone in the cottage is plotting to rebel!
At first glance, Leach's first feeling was nonsense, but two people watching the door, can they know such a confidential thing?
But when I think about it, I feel that this is not impossible.
Although most of what the two guards said was something they had heard from others, plus some speculation of their own, it was very reasonable.
The more Leach thought about it, the more he felt that this was true, and if it did, as long as it worked well, it would not be impossible to wipe out this group of "rebels" who had been endangering the town of Cermos for a long time.
After receiving similar news from the other captives, Leach instructed Tali to take care of the captives when it was their turn to come out with Leach, and then ran back to Kelmos as fast as he could.
returned to the hotel and told Saya about the newly obtained news, and as soon as the two of them combined slightly, they went to the barracks to find Howard, who had been a "shrunken turtle" again in the past few days.
“...... That's the way it is, we all think it's a great opportunity to get rid of Kelmos's henchmen once and for all, I don't know what you think, Mr. Howard?"
Howard was silent, and the expression on his face was very tangled.
Because it is a matter of whether or not the entrusted items can be successfully recovered, seeing that the heaven-sent opportunity is just around the corner, Howard is still hesitant, and Leach is suddenly a little anxious: "Mr. Howard, as long as we take advantage of the civil strife on the other side, send troops to attack their lair and catch them off guard, it will definitely greatly reduce the number of casualties on our side, and because of the chaos, I believe that few people will be able to successfully escape at that time, such a good opportunity, Mr. Howard, what are you still hesitating about?"
Leach thought that he had already made it clear what he should say, and when he saw that Howard was still half-dead, he couldn't help but be angry, and when he wanted to open his mouth to educate him well, he was stopped by the attentive Saya.
"Mr. Howard, you're afraid of the worst, am I right?"
Hearing this, Howard Huo Ran raised his head, and nodded with difficulty after a long time.
"But, don't you think it's too selfish? Yes, are you afraid that if Qin Guo is really behind it, you don't know what to do, but have you thought about the inhabitants of the town?
Speaking of this, without waiting for Howard to speak, Saya's words changed: "You may feel very annoyed when you talk about these great righteousness, so let's talk about your personal affairs." Even if you deliberately release the water this time, have you thought about how to get along with Qin Guo in the future? Do you pretend that you don't know anything and continue to secretly like her, or do you have a showdown with her, saying that I know your secret, but I helped you hide it, I love you so much, can we try to get along?"
"I ...... I don't know what to do!How could I pretend I didn't know anything, and how could I use this as a threat to force Miss Qinguo to associate with me?" Howard looked pained and tugged at his hair.
Seeing that Howard was finally willing to speak, Saya smiled confidently: "Since you don't want to do this, then why don't you join us to wipe out the 'rebels'? Maybe things will turn around......"
