Chapter 288: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

"Could it be that several leaders are still masters?" After listening to Guard B's analysis, Guard A thought for a while and said, "Since the leaders are very powerful, what kind of leader must be that leader who has never shown his face?"

"Leader?" Guard B pursed his lips, "If you want me to say, whether that mysterious leader exists or not, is it still unknown! Brother, think about it, if there is still a leader leading them above them, as the leaders told us, even if this leader wants to maintain his mystery, it is unlikely that he has never appeared after such a long time, and it has always existed in the words of several leaders, right?"

"Really. The guard nodded approvingly, "In that case, that leader was made up by the leaders themselves, but why did they do it, isn't it redundant?"

"You're wrong. Guard B had an unfathomable smile on his face, "I made up a high-ranking person who didn't exist at all, just to tell us that they have someone behind them, and to warn us that it's best not to think about any messy things, otherwise we will bear the consequences!"

"No, it feels too fake, if it's really like what you said, big brother, then what's the matter with Ruff and Sly?"

After Guard B finished speaking, he was raising his chin and waiting for the little brother's words of praise and worship, and Leng Buding was questioned like this, but he was choked lightly. What he said was just a random guess by himself, and he wanted to use it to brag, and there was no evidence at all, and when he was asked in person, he suddenly became a little annoyed and angry: "You are stupid, I can guess it, but others can't guess it?" No matter how perfect a lie sounds, as long as it is indeed a lie, there will always be a time when it will be exposed, the difference is only sooner or later, I think it must be that Sly is also aware of this, so he has a rebellion!"

"But I still don't think something is right......," Guard A didn't stop discussing the matter as Guard B expected, but continued, "Even if Slay thinks that the so-called leader is just a fictional character, but it would be too hasty to put the rebellion into action so directly, if it were me, even if I didn't find out the true identity of the leader, at least I would have to test whether my guess was correct or not, right?" Just started recruiting troops so straightforwardly, is this because your life is long?"

"How can I know that I'm not a roundworm in Sly's belly!" Guard B visibly became a little impatient, "Maybe people have already tried it, so they decided to put their ideas into action!"

"It's also possible......" Guard A didn't seem to notice Guard B's impatience at all, "but it's not right, if Slay has tried it, it's not like he didn't admit himself, and he clearly told the leaders that he had a different heart, and he was still looking for death!"

Seeing that Guard A was still struggling with this matter, Guard B completely broke out: "People are willing to seek death, what are you bothering about here, what does it matter to you? You care so much about Sly's safety, then why don't you go to him as a military advisor?"

"Uh, what's wrong with you, big brother......" Guard A was a little blinded by Guard B's sudden hysteria, and was about to ask what was going on, but his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked behind Guard B with a frightened face.

Guard B wanted to continue scolding, but suddenly realized that the expression on Guard A's face was wrong, and when he was about to ask him what he saw, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and then lost consciousness.

Seeing Guard B's head tilted and falling to the ground, the expression on Guard A's face became more and more frightened, and when he was about to open his mouth to shout for help, he also lost consciousness in front of him.

As the two of them mentioned before, it seems that there are only these two guards near the entrance of the cottage, but there are many people hiding in the corner, and they are really laying a net.

As soon as the two guards were attacked, all the people who had set up in ambush rushed out.

I saw a one-man tall monster standing next to the two guards who had fainted on the ground at the wooden door of the cottage.

The monster has an oval shape, and its arms are slender compared to its bloated size, and its body is covered with a thick layer of scales that resemble leaves, but reflect a special light that only metal can have.

The monster didn't seem surprised to see so many people suddenly appear, and it even had the leisure to turn its round body and look around, and then slowly and slightly with some difficulty bent down, caught the two unconscious guards on the ground under the armpits, and then rushed into the woods and disappeared at a speed completely inconsistent with its size, and even the attack of the guiding weapon could not hit it, leaving only the "rebels" all over the village to look at each other.

......

"Whew, it's hot!" complained Leach in a small cave not too far from the cottage, moving his joints.

On the ground on the side, there are piles of withered yellow leaves, and in the cave, there seem to be many figures squatting on the ground.

The monster that appeared at the gate of the rebel cottage was the one Leach pretended.

It took them a total of three days from the secret passage of the old dwarf's house to the time when Leach found the "rebel's" lair. The reason why it was so fast was not because Howard mobilized his men to help, but because Leach thought that if so many people wanted to survive in the wild, water was the most indispensable thing.

Although there are many rivers in the wild of the small town of Kelmos, combined with the location of the exit of the secret passage and the traces in the woods that are still traceable, it is not difficult for Leach and them to find the nest of the "rebels".

found the target, but Leach and the others did not rush to attack, first, there were not enough manpower, and secondly, they started to attack recklessly, which was bound to make the traitors in the town perceive the danger and escape, and at worst, it would also make them incognito, thus burying hidden dangers, so after discussion, Leach and the others decided to create some trouble for these so-called "rebels" who stayed in the wild.

Of course, in addition to these two obvious reasons, there is also the fact that Leach and the others want to have the evidence of Qinguo's crime, so that Howard can completely give up, so he is determined to help them recover the lost property, so they have this decision.

Since it was already known in advance that someone would often enter and exit Kermos through a secret passage to contact someone in the town, in order to lure the snake out of the hole, it was necessary to create some trouble that the "rebels" left in the wild could not solve, so that they could find the "upline" for help.

So, suddenly there was a legend about the wild man in the cottage.
