Chapter 10: Setting the Trap
The five soldiers didn't come back, and of course Delin wouldn't be in the training ground, stupidly waiting for them to come back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 When Richie returned with his team, he went back to his room and practiced the nameless secret art.
Shortly before noon, the five soldiers returned to report that all the civilians were in the town of Nilin, and that there was no one outside the town.
Delin asked all the soldiers to come to the martial arts training ground again after eating lunch for a while. In the afternoon, I had to do manual work, and I didn't have enough to eat, so it was not easy to do this kind of work on an empty stomach.
Afternoon.
After gathering all the soldiers, Delin took them and set out from the Viscount's Palace.
"You see, Lord Viscount leads, all the troops in the territory, where are you going?"
"You don't know that, of course you're going to wipe out the wolves in the grove. ”
"But Lord Viscount, why choose, go out when everyone is resting. ”
"Hehe, you don't understand this, the wolves of our Blue Shield Principality all like to be active at night. At night, their threat to us multiplies exponentially. This is the wisdom and concern of Lord Viscount, who told us not to leave the town easily in the morning, and immediately launched the wolf extermination operation in the afternoon. ”
The surrounding civilians all suddenly let out an "oh".
"Let's go, let's all send off our Viscount, hoping that the Viscount can return triumphantly. ”
Led by a civilian, almost every distance Delin walked, a civilian joined their team and saw them off.
This scene was simply unexpected by Delin, and he had two words "happy" in his heart.
Luo Lai housekeeper reported on the people's hearts, but it was not very good. The commoners are just nostalgic for the land they have lived in for generations, and their attitude towards their own family is indifferent.
In other words, if one day, this territory changes to another owner, they will not arouse a little emotion in their hearts, which is not good news for the development of the territory.
The development of the territory does not rely on just one nobleman to make the territory prosperous, which also requires the cooperation of the commoners.
Now the actions of civilians. Delin also thought that it would take half a year to achieve the current effect by his own means of gathering the hearts of the people.
The unexpected result, apparently the big-mouthed soldier, took a lot of pain, but Delin didn't know it yet.
Arriving at the entrance to the town of Nirin, Delin motioned for the soldiers to stop, then turned to the civilians.
"Okay, let's go back first. Judging by the footprints left by the wolves yesterday, this is only a very small wolf pack, and it cannot pose a big threat to us soldiers who have been in battle. ”
The civilians were about to leave, when someone suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, why didn't there be Captain Anlu in this operation?" ”
Delin's face remained unchanged, and he had already thought of the answer to this sudden question: "Last night, Anlu got the news that his father had died, and there was no one to take care of his mother at home. So he returned to his hometown overnight, and he said he shouldn't be coming back. ”
The soldiers knew that Delin was lying. They didn't make a fool of themselves, and when they thought about it, they understood the purpose of Delin's lie.
Half a year ago, Anlu joined them, and every day after that, Anlu would often patrol around their territory.
Therefore, Anlu has a good impression in the hearts of civilians, and if it is said that Anlu is colluding with robbers now, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
The soldiers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the young master was really thoughtful, and just one sentence could save some trouble, if it were them, it wouldn't be able to do this.
"Lord Viscount, Anlu is not here, what about your safety?"
The civilian who spoke just now expressed what he meant in the end, he was worried about Delin.
The civilians of Nilin Town have almost no contact with the outside world, which leads to the underdevelopment of commerce here, but also creates a simple livelihood here, and whoever is good to them, they will also be good to whom.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Some of you should have gotten the word that Gray had become a first-order warrior last night. In this operation, he was responsible for keeping me safe. ”
As soon as these words came out, the civilians turned their eyes to a blonde young woman.
This blonde young woman is Gray's wife.
"Well, Gray told me last night that this advancement is all due to Lord Viscount. As everyone watched, the blonde young woman nervously told Gray what Gray had said to her last night.
Fortunately, what everyone thinks is "the credit of the Viscount" does not think about the use of force.
The blonde young woman is very grateful to Delin, the reward of 10 gold coins is enough for them to start cultivating the next generation now, and the cultivation environment is not bad.
The civilians returned to the town, and Delin took the soldiers and set off for their destination.
This is about 500 meters away from the town of Nilin, and it is also the destination of a group of people in Delin.
There is a wide, overgrown path. At first glance, this road is rarely traveled by people every year.
"Richie, you should be ready for everything I asked you to prepare. Delin said.
"Of course. Rich patted the bag behind him.
The soldiers had always wondered what was in it.
Rich opened the bag and pulled out ten shovels from it.
Gray had some questions: "Young master, this ......"
"We're here for a very precise purpose, to set a trap. The robbers don't know yet, their plan has already been known, and this unguardable trap will definitely cost them a lot of money. Delin explained.
The soldiers looked at each other, traps or something, they knew that. But they really don't know what traps can be laid with these ten shovels?
Delin didn't explain much, he directly ordered: "Gray, you take your people to the small bamboo forest over there, cut some bamboo, and sharpen one end of the bamboo." Richie, you take your men and use these ten shovels to dig me ten pits that can hold twenty people each. ”
"Yes!"
Gray took nine soldiers and walked to the small bamboo forest not far away.
"By the way, Gray, I forgot to tell you not to cut the bamboo outside, but to cut the bamboo deep in the small bamboo forest. ”
"Understood! ”
Delin, who walked bizarrely, said: "Young master, you want to use the tip of the bamboo to kill the robbers." ”
Delin nodded without denial.
"Young Master, you are such a genius that you can even think of this method. But are the robbers really going to attack us from here?" said Richie, expressing his concerns.
"Don't worry, their plan is to attack our Nilin Town from this road. ”
