Chapter 616: The End of the Scout
"I don't know what that woman would have thought if she found out. Nils said disdainfully as he looked at the sniper's corpse. "But it doesn't matter, she's dead, just like you are now. He turned away from the roof and went back into the house. The things that need to be solved are settled, and the rest is up to Freya. He must now go to join Karl, and if he is scattered, he will be in trouble if he encounters an enemy.
On the other side, Freya finally managed to find her way outside the church, which is also the most heavily defended area. Here, she couldn't even move half a step forward easily, and the slightest sound would attract the attention of the guards. Freya found it getting more and more difficult, but she could at least gather some necessary information from her current position.
She shifted her body slightly, allowing her vision to widen up a little. The room she was in wasn't that safe, and the gang members who wanted to rest could come in at any time. Freya certainly didn't expect to see discipline in them, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed themselves to be stuck in this quagmire for the rest of their lives. Freya kept everything she saw in her mind as much as she could, as she didn't carry parchment or quills.
Freya already knew that the street lights were powered by electricity, but what she didn't expect was that she saw a machine gun post at the door of the church. She would never mistake Kahlert's general-purpose machine gun, and it looked like they had really figured out some way to get the weapon to the continent of Arad. In other words, they will appear in a plot that has been planned here for a long time, and before they came here, there were already members of Callert who had come to Arad to gather information here.
I have to say that the timing of their appearance is just right, the current continent is full of strife, Delos, Belmar, Dark Elves and Bantu, various forces are involved in the war. And when they appear at such a time, no one will naturally notice their presence. Freya thought that the person who planned the operation was definitely a shrewd commander, at least unlike some of the incompetent officers in the Imperial Army.
In addition to what she sees on the surface, Freya believes that there may be some secrets hidden inside the church. Calett couldn't have been confident enough to think that he could deal with the Aradians with a normal gun, and maybe sneaking into the church would get more information, but that was too difficult for Freya to give up on the idea. She decided to continue observing for a while before going to meet up with Carl.
Although the gang members have little discipline and a very lazy style, in the final analysis, they still take advantage of Khaler, which means that they will obey Khaler's instructions to a certain extent anyway. So at least they know how to change shifts regularly, and they patrol around the church every few minutes. This was unthinkable before, and Freya believed that the original leader of the gang had been eliminated by Kaller.
Despite their confidence in their actions, Arad is a strange place they are unfamiliar with, so it is a good option to enlist local forces. In addition to these gangsters, there must also be other forces that have been co-opted by Kalert, but at present, those forces that have been co-opted have not yet shown their true colors. Freya believes, however, that sooner or later they will show up, when Callert is ready to make a move.
After observing for more than ten minutes, Freya decided to leave, and staying any longer would not give more useful information, but would increase the chances of being discovered. It's four o'clock in the morning, and it's much harder to get out of Sanban Street after dawn. If it weren't for Carl's unexpected appearance, maybe she and Nils would have encountered something that would have been difficult to say. But she's happy, because having one more helper means one more chance of succeeding in stopping Khaler's plan.
As Freya was leaning against the wall and preparing to leave the house, a violent explosion suddenly sounded on the east side of Sanban Street, which sounded like a thunderclap in the silence of the early morning. Freya was startled, and then she heard the footsteps and shouts of the mob, and everything was buzzing in an instant. Freya seized the opportunity of their brief confusion and quickly left the house and flashed to the shop across the street.
Nils, who successfully rendezvoused with Carl on the other side, was also puzzled, but Carl had a smile on his face, it was the masterpiece of Warhammer. He knew the hammer was going to make a lot of noise, and it was up to him to make the explosion look like a simple accident. Although the original plan was to make it easier for them to infiltrate the center, now the explosion gives them a good chance to escape.
"Is this your friend's handiwork?" asked Niels.
"Who knows. Karl spread his hands. "Let's go meet Freya. ”
"That's right, there's no need to stay here anymore, I hope Freya has gathered enough information. Nils nodded, and then walked with Carl towards the small square before.
When the two of them arrived at the shop in the small square, Freya was already waiting inside. "Hey, what's going on?" she was clearly referring to the violent explosion on the east side of Sanban Street.
"You're going to have to ask Warhammer about this. Carl couldn't help but laugh.
"Warhammer, the exploding maniac is here too?" said Freya, touching her forehead, as if she was facing a hopeless creature. "Oh my God, he really dared to make such a big move. ”
"That wasn't the plan, but since he's still on his way, we'd better get out of here quickly. ”
"What did you find?" Nils asked.
"This. Freya spread her hands. "There were four machine-gun posts, patrols that circled the church every five minutes, all equipped with Kahlert's standard rifles. On top of that, there may be more important information hidden in the church, but I can't get there, is that enough?"
Nils mused, "Not really, but it's pretty good for now. ”
"Next time it's your turn to be a rat right under their noses. Freya sighed.
"Alright, let's go. Carl beckoned to the two of them, for he had already heard the mob shouting, and perhaps they would be back soon.
The commotion created by the Warhammer still attracted a considerable part of the attention of the thugs on Sanban Street, so the three of them encountered far fewer obstacles when they left than before. By the time they finally approached the edge of town, they could almost swagger through the street-lit streets. At the end of the day, they are untrained lazy thugs, and if something happens, they will leave where they are supposed to be. They always like the excitement, because they are not completely willing to obey Khalert, there is only a financial interest in it.
