Chapter 154: Cat and Mouse

Previous Chapter

Aaron hurriedly waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and Aaron leaned in to look out the door. "What are you talking about? Don't you know that many of the ninjas of the Land of the Sun have learned our language now?

Pope also knew that he had drunk too much, so he quickly shut his mouth. "When I joined the country of the sun, everyone voted together, and your eldest cousin is not a dictator. Now that something has happened, we can't blame him for everything, can we?" Aaron said as he closed the door.

"Actually, we people are working hard everywhere, so don't complain too much. Aaron reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"yes, didn't I just go home and complain. Pope smiled sarcastically, "Okay, okay, count me too much." Let's talk about the harassing cavalry, you bring me the battle report. ”

Aaron casually took the battle report on the table next to him, Pope put down the leg of mutton, stretched out his hand full of grease stains to grab it, but Aaron glanced at it and quickly wiped it on his body a few times.

"It's all the head of a group, and it's not a nobleman. Aaron smiled wryly, and so did Pope, the youngest but most accomplished child in the family. He is only in his early thirties this year, and he has already served as the reserve head of the elite knights of the empire a few years ago. The elders of the family were very spoiled by this competitive child and let him come nonsense.

Pope glanced at the battle report, and his expression suddenly became heavy. Pope quickly finished reading the entire battle report, raised his head and looked at Aaron with an inquiring eye, "A squadron? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Aaron nodded solemnly, "That's right, this is a battle report sent back by several villages that were attacked. Even if there is a discrepancy, it will not be too bad. According to the style of the flag, it is our old adversary, the Red Panther Knights. ”

"This is impossible, how could they have smuggled so many cavalry, could it be that the Satya side deliberately disguised themselves as the Red Panther Knights? ”

Aaron nodded, "I don't rule out this possibility, after all, I heard that there are many kinds of flags in addition to the blood-stained leopard with gold and silver edges, and they should be armed with nobles." However, the people in the village did not recognize the ownership of these flags, so they could not tell. ”

A flash of concern flashed through Pope's mind: "Do you remember that incident in our father's generation?"

Aaron was just about to walk back to his table when he was stunned when he heard this, "You mean, before the establishment of Tallinn Fort?"

Pope nodded, "That guy is also from the Red Leopard, right? If it is really a Red Leopard person, this makes sense, and it is possible to tell the people below about this secret passage." Alas, you say strange or not, why do their people find a place every time they come, and our people can't find it?"

Aaron was silent for a long time, then turned and walked to the map posted on the wall behind his desk. Pope looked in the direction of his finger, the area bordering the Sphinx Meadow and Mount Saint-Jolmain was very large, and there was a large forest in the middle, and in the middle of the forest were continuous mountains, which was really very difficult to search.

In fact, there is another reason they don't know, there are many villages in the Oslan Empire that live near Mount St. Jormain, and the people of these villages will often go up to the mountains to hunt or occasionally collect some firewood to go home and burn the fire, and some people will always find some paths over time.

Pope sighed helplessly, his father had searched for a hidden path that he had not found for decades, and it was estimated that his generation would not be able to find it. It is not the first time that the easternmost steppe region of the Satya Empire has been attacked by the Oslan Empire.

"Cousin, I think this matter still needs to be reported, and I will take my brothers to intercept these people first. But for the sake of the future, I may decide whether to retreat or not due to the situation of the battle, I hope you understand. Pope said.

"That's natural, you are now not only the strongest combat strength of our family, but also the only knight unit. No matter what happens, we will protect you first. Besides, I've heard that these sneak attackers have some chivalry, and they don't hurt civilians, but only steal some food and horses. Alas, what worries me is that the days to come will not be easy, I'm afraid. Aaron walked over to the table and raised the glass on the table. Gently shaking the cup, the liquid inside formed a whirlpool.

Early the next morning, the Knights of the Snow left the Sphinx and headed north, where they had received the latest battle report and where the sneak attackers were the last to stay in their sights. Three days later, another team of new faces entered the city of Sphinx.

It was Bert's idea, and that's what it means by dark under the lamp. The more Edwin and the others felt that they would be afraid of the pursuers and would not dare to enter the city, they went specifically to the city, and along the way, they passed through three villages, and spent a large sum of money to buy a batch of cattle and sheep, and changed into the clothes of the locals. In this way, I slowly walked to Sphinx City.

Since they disguised themselves as herders, they have changed their way of traveling, no longer going out by day and night, but following the herders who are rushing to the Sphinx, driving their cattle and sheep. They were very inconspicuous in the ranks of herders, and as they slowly advanced along the sides of the road, several waves of ninjas on horseback ran by, and on several occasions the ninjas looked back at them, but did not recognize them.

Because to the people of the Land of the Sun, the people on the Great Road of Shusari are all about the same length, and the only place that can distinguish them is the color of their hair and the color of their pupils. And now they disguise themselves as herdsmen and wear herdsmen's headscarves, and from a long distance it is impossible to distinguish between these people and normal people.

When the people drove the cattle and sheep into the Sphinx, it caused some minor trouble, because Frank was still wounded and carried by several men.

"Master Jun, we fled from the east. The lackeys of Osland were so abominable that we met a couple of their rangers on our way away, and my brother was wounded by them. "Bert had already come up with an excuse to fool the guards. After all, they had seen a lot of fleeing herders on the road recently, but they were not injured much.

"Didn't I hear that they don't harm civilians, how could they do anything to you?" the leader of the guard looked at the unassuming-looking young man with suspicion.

"Ahh There is no such absolute thing in wartime. Yes, they don't kill civilians, but that has to be based on the premise of stealing their things. We just don't want to send the cattle and sheep we have worked so hard to raise to the enemy, so we rose up to resist. Bert cried and even grabbed the guard's hand, his eyes filled with tears.
