Chapter 15 Deployment
There are less than six days left before the main fort changes its defenses, but there are still many preparations to be made during this time, in addition to going to "visit" the main fort every night and quietly preparing mysterious gifts for the people in the main fort, the emperor gate spends most of his day "wandering" in the east and west of this city of Pent. If he didn't see what he needed, he would chat with the nearby slaves, or talk to the mercenaries in the tavern.
Although the emperor spent most of his time shuttling through the streets and alleys these days, he also perfected the plan for the revolutionary army several times. On Awadi's side, although he couldn't directly order the other party to do something, he was able to get Awadi to give him the maximum help.
Since Emperor hadn't spoken to Linda for a while, and he was always leaving early and returning late during this time, Linda had long wanted to ask him what he was planning to do. Today, the Emperor's room is finally unlocked, and Linda can finally ask him if something happened again.
In the middle of the night, Linda quietly pushed open the door of the emperor's door, but saw the emperor men tinkering with two life-size puppets, "Emperor, what are you doing?" Linda looked at the back of the emperor and asked strangely.
"It's nothing, it's just a puppet, why haven't you slept yet?" Dimen stopped what he was doing, turned to Linda, and said.
"I, I can't sleep, so I wanted to come and see what you're doing. Linda whispered as she walked into the room, closed the door gently.
"Can't you sleep, well, it just so happens that there is a cup of milk tea I just made in the kitchen, you go and drink it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold." Emperor Men smiled softly at Linda, then turned around and began to get busy with his work.
"Well, I know, by the way, I heard an explosion from your room before, although the sound was not loud, but it seemed to be an explosion, what are you busy with during this time?"
"It was indeed an explosion, and I was recently commissioned by the nobles here to give a concert for this city of Putter, and the explosion was one of the syllables. ”
"Why haven't I heard of it?" asked Linda, puzzled by the words of the emperor.
"Well, maybe it's because this concert is held in secret, and I want to surprise the whole city then. ”
"This concert is city-wide, when is it going to take place, can I see you on stage?" Linda was very excited after hearing the words of the emperor, she seemed to be a little eager to see the emperor on the stage.
"Tomorrow night, but I don't think you'll see me on stage. ”
"Huh?
"No why, go and drink the milk tea and go to sleep. ”
"But I don't want to sleep yet, so I'll do you a favor." After saying that, Linda wanted to come to the emperor's side to help, but there were many miscellaneous things piled up around the emperor's gate, which made it difficult for her to walk.
"Watch your step, it's explosives!" Dimen turned his head and saw Linda cautiously trying to come to his side, and in desperation, he had to deliberately exclaim to scare Linda away.
Where can Linda recognize the truth of the explosives, she was naturally frightened and retreated under the exclamation of the emperor, and the panicked Linda lost her center of gravity under this retreat, and was about to fall backwards, it didn't matter if she fell to the ground, but there was a box of dangerous powder in the direction she fell, if this powder was sprinkled on her body, it would be really troublesome, and it would even be life-threatening. Seeing this situation, Emperor Men naturally couldn't let it go, so in the blink of an eye, he put down what he was holding and turned around to save Linda.
"Whew, it's so dangerous, I almost fell. Linda, who fell into the arms of the emperor, didn't seem to realize the danger just now, and there was a little coquettish meaning in her words.
"It's really dangerous, you know, if I hadn't reacted quickly, you'd be out of luck!" Dimen let go of his hand and let Linda stand on her own, and then said with a straight face.
"Huh?" Linda was clearly confused by what the Emperor said.
"If you had poured it on that box of powder, you'd have to peel off the skin!"
"No, but that carton is fine. Linda didn't believe Dimen's words, thinking that he was scaring herself.
"That powder is a very corrosive thing, and it doesn't change in any way, but when it comes into contact with blood, it can produce corrosive properties that destroy metal. The most important thing is that once this powder has too much moisture, it will produce strong adhesion, and it will be really troublesome to save you when the time comes. ”
"It's really that dangerous, then, I'll be careful. Linda looked at Dimen's vigorous appearance, and immediately felt empty.
"It's still very dangerous here for now, so you better go to sleep first, good. As he spoke, his expression softened, and after touching Linda's little head, he turned around and went back to work.
"Then I'll go to sleep, and you can rest early. Linda knew that she could only do a disservice here, so she had no choice but to dismiss the idea of staying in the Emperor's room.
"Well, remember to drink the milk tea quickly, otherwise it will be cold again. ”
"Got it, good night. ”
"Well, good night. Emperor Gate turned his head to look at the slowly closing door and said with a smile.
After a long while, Emperor Gate finally finished the work at hand, he pushed open the door and came to Linda's room, after looking at the empty teacup next to Linda's bed, Emperor Gate was still not completely sure that Linda drank the cup of milk tea, walked to Linda's bedside Emperor Gate put his hand to Linda's neck to measure her pulse, and after confirming that she had indeed entered a deep sleep, Emperor Gate lifted her quilt and began to dress her.
Dimen's hands and feet are very nimble, and it will be completed in a short time, faster than Linda herself wearing, after putting on Linda's clothes, Dimen quickly packed the necessary luggage, Linda's room has a lot of treasures, but Dimen can't take everything away, so he has no choice but to bring something of great significance, such as the music box and the like. Of course, Emperor Men himself brought some important luggage, but his things were much less than Linda's.
After preparing the luggage for the runaway, Emperor Gate returned to his room and tore open the skins of the two puppets, and dragged out the two corpses, a man and a woman, from which they did not smell very much, and looked as if they had just died. In order to prevent the corpse from decomposing next, Emperor Men smeared a layer of embalming oil on its body, and then dressed the two naked corpses without scars in his and Linda's clothes, and then Emperor Gate stuffed the two corpses under Linda's large bed and snuggled up to each other.
After doing this, the emperor closed the window tightly, and then went to the most inconspicuous corner of the room to place a timed ignition device, under which was a layer of flammable black powder, and above the powder was a purple powder that fell down little by little. Emperor Men's plan is that the purple powder will reach a level that will have an effect on the black powder below in the middle of the night, and that effect will be enough to ignite all the combustibles in the room, and the next two corpses coated with flammable embalming oil will be quickly burned clean, at least without leaving suspicious evidence, and the entire small building will be burned.
After making sure that he didn't leave any tails, the emperor gate quietly slipped away from the back door of the small building with his luggage in his arms, and no one found any trace of the emperor gate along the way, not even the guards on the city wall.
After taking Linda to a no-man's land outside the city, the emperor drove Linda out of the military range of Pente City overnight on a fast horse prepared in advance, and when he reached his destination, the fast horse was already dying. Emperor Gate had expected this situation for a long time, and prepared another fast horse in a safe place in advance, and after settling Linda in a safe place, Emperor Gate immediately returned to Putt City without stopping.
Although the speed of the fast horse was fast, it was already afternoon when the emperor returned to the city of Pent, and after meeting with the revolutionary army again to determine the time of action, the emperor left alone.
Time passed quickly, the sky soon darkened, and the emperor knew that it was time to open the curtain and start this "concert".
