Section 4: The Vanishing Vanguard (Part II)
At nightfall, Townsend set out with three of his most powerful men and the monkeys, and in order to keep it secret, he did not use the waterway to enter the town directly, but went ashore two miles early.
Townsend first inspected several observation points that had been set up outside the town, and in addition to complimenting them, he inevitably gave some guidance to his subordinates. It wasn't until two hours after dinner, when the lights in the town began to go out, that Townsend followed the passage he had established into the town and sneaked all the way to the back door of the Blue Blossom Chamber of Commerce.
In front of it is the headquarters of the Blue Stamen Chamber of Commerce.
The buildings directly in front of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters are brightly lit, while the buildings behind the side are much more low-key. Based on the carriage parking spaces, the direction of the covered cloister, and the distribution points of the guards, Townsend quickly analyzed the building where the first target was located.
Further observing the light and the flow of people, he deduced the specific location of the target and the distribution of corridors and corridors within the building......
These things have gone beyond the scope of battlefield and field reconnaissance, and the monkeys who follow him worship him to the ground—Chief Townsend is simply a man of God!
"Attention, I'm in," Townsend put on his handmade camouflage suit and carried a large bag on his back, "If there is no signal from me for half an hour, everything is normal." ”
"After more than half an hour without a signal, we set fire as planned. Sir, don't worry, we'll keep you safe!" the monkey nodded heavily, clenching his weapon as he spoke.
The group watched as Townsend climbed over the fence and "floated" into the shadows of the building under the cover of bushes.
"The chief entered the courtyard, advanced fifty meters, avoided the alarm trap, turned half a circle clockwise, fell to the ground to avoid the field of view of the seven guards, and scurried fifteen meters into the shadow of the cloister......" Next to the monkey, the only literate person in the spearhead was recording Townshend's actions on the map, and the chief said that this was the material they would learn later.
"The chief crawled three meters, entered the trunk cover, rolled silently, and entered the blind spot of the ninth guard's field of vision...... The chief was observing the kitchen, and the chief began to follow the maids...... The chief began to climb, climbing six meters in two breaths, over the second-floor terrace...... The chief sends out a safety signal that everything is in order...... The chief opens the patio door, and the chief is out of the line of sight of support......"
"The support operation is ready, the ignition points are ready, and the timer begins. Flipping the hourglass and taking a deep breath, the monkey prayed in his heart that everything would be well, Chief. In the hearts of their men, it didn't matter if they could gain a foothold in Harvey Town anytime soon, as long as the chief was safe, everything else would be fine.
As long as there is time, the prefect can solve all the problems.
Moreover, for the top soldiers, there is no one in this world who is more important than the commander!
At this time, Townsend was lurking around the corner of the hallway, and he used a listening device to scout the distribution of people around him. The earthen earthen listener was very ineffective, and could only make out some footsteps indistinctly, but it still allowed him to find the exact location of the target, which would normally be in a ring or semi-circular arch circle.
"Friend, I've found you. Townsend smiled silently, put away his things, took advantage of the guard's patrol to go upstairs, rushed to the outside of the large suite, looked left and right, and gently reached out and pushed open the door - this step was very important, if the force was too strong, it would make the people inside overreact.
The outside of the suite was usually used as a servant's room, and when Townsend flashed in, there was only one young maid inside. Hearing the sound, the maid, who was preparing refreshments, turned around and saw a smiling Townsend, and by no means the three fingers of the young man had been placed on her upper and lower lips.
"Shhh Townsend lowered his voice and said to her, "If you scream, you might accidentally injure your master, don't you want that?"
This young man in strange clothes did not make the maid feel terrified or terrifying, perhaps because his smile was real and not malicious, so the maid did not struggle.
But judging from the maid's expression, she actually wanted to say something, but Townsend really didn't have time to greet her, so he ordered her: "Can you turn around? Well, just a moment, I promise not to do anything like knocking you out." ”
He hadn't lied, and when the maid turned around, she found that he had changed out of that strange garment, and was now wearing a more formal gentleman's evening dress with a touch of dress.
"Now let's finish the second half of the joke, pretty girl, you're going to cooperate with me. Townsend half-put his arm around the maid's waist and led her to the door of the inner room: "Please knock on the door for me, and try to tell your master in a calm voice that there is a visitor." ”
Although it is illegal to enter, etiquette must be done, not only in Townsend's style, but also out of consideration for the consequences. Knocking on the door to report such a small thing is actually the best way to show goodwill, and it can avoid some surprises that are not conducive to negotiations......
In case the owner is playing that kind of inconvenient little game with some charming ladies, at least you should get the other party dressed? If you see something you shouldn't see, although Townsend may not be killed, it is not easy to have a long needle eye.
The maid nodded obediently, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, and then reported in a gentle voice: "Miss, we have visitors." ”
As the word "Miss" came out, the maid visibly felt the arm around her waist move. In fact, Townsend had a wry smile on his face, how could he be a young lady? Could he be mistaken?
"Visitor?" a soft voice came to Townsend's ears from the inside, not very clear through the door, but it made Townsend feel familiar, and even relieved the rising tension in his heart: "Why are there still visitors now?"
With a click, Townsend opened the door and walked in, of course, his hand around the maid did not let go.
So, in the bright light, Townsend's gaze reunited with a pair of clear eyes that were rising.
He knew the young lady, Miss Wenley Heather Swarosia, who was sitting at the desk by the window, with a book in her hand, and the light of the crystal chandelier, and the bright red velvet on the high backrest that made her face so lovely.
The moment she saw Townsend, she had clearly recognized him, for there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then a little confusion came over her...... Seriously, Townsend was a little embarrassed at this point.
"Mr. Townsend?" Miss Wenli put down the book in her hand and asked in a calm but not rude tone, "You are my visitor?"
