Chapter Twenty-Eight: Infiltrating the Big Tent (Part II)
The passage back to the back of the hut was relatively smooth, and Wren did not appear under the watchtower until the passing patrol had gone far. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Because the lights could not shine under the watchtower, Wren hid under the large log pillar of the watchtower. Perhaps it was as the night was getting deeper, and the soldiers on the watchtower were sleepy and began to let their guard down, not changing directions frequently. Wren moved quickly from under the watchtower without attracting the attention of the watchtower on the back, and returned without a sound.
After getting the short sword, he was going to the big tent, and he didn't know anything about the situation inside the tent, but the blind spot behind the big tent that the lights couldn't shine on gave Wren a good place to cover his actions. The big tent is also relatively large, with a diameter of 30 meters, and as long as there is no big movement, it is difficult for the people inside and the guards in front of them to detect the movement behind the big tent.
The military canvas is relatively thick, and ordinary bows and arrows will be hung on it when they are shot, rather than easily penetrating it entirely, which plays a certain role in long-range protection. Wren drilled the tip of his dagger for a while before he could penetrate the canvas, and with this hole, Wren could see through it inside the tent.
The inside of the tent was very bright, and there should have been a lot of oil lamps lit. But there was half a curtain in the way, and it was impossible to see what was going on. After listening quietly for a while, there was no sound inside, so there should not be many people. After waiting for a while, Wren continued to insert the short sword into the hole, and began to increase the scope of the hole with force, and finally the entire sword was inserted, and began to draw downwards, and soon made an opening for one person to get into.
Finally about to enter, Wren held the short sword in his right hand and tossed the open canvas aside, revealing the uncovered hole, listened and checked again, and after making sure that there was no one behind the canvas, he quickly drilled in.
The situation behind the curtain was not clear due to the half-sided curtain, and the inside could not be seen behind the curtain, which made Wren feel safe for the time being.
This is a locker room, which is supposed to be a place for officers to change their clothes. Wren looked around and figured out what was going on, then crouched close to the curtain.
Is it quiet in the tent, there is the sound of turning pages from time to time, it seems that there are people, reading books or reading briefings, etc. He gently lifted the curtain with the tip of his short sword, and the light behind the curtain shone in, and he only lifted it a little, and his movements were very light, not worrying about attracting attention.
He leaned his face closer to the place where the curtain had been lifted, and gave him a quick glance. Relieved, there was only one person in the big tent, sitting with his back to him at the large military table a few steps away from him, reading. Wren ventured again to inspect the whole tent through the opening of the canvas. In addition to the large table in the middle, there was a large bed on the edge of the tent, and then there was a bookshelf with some books on the side of the bed, and a closet with a closed door. On the other side of the bed there was a wine rack full of wine bottles and a shelf with wooden washbasins, wooden plates and porcelain utensils. In front of these two shelves is a small round wooden table with a large porcelain pot and several wide-mouth porcelain cups on it. Then two rows of seats were arranged in front of the large table, and a square table with a large vertical table sandwiched between the seats, which was supposed to be used for other officers to sit down and have a meeting together. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.
Seeing what was going on inside the tent, Wren looked at the man with his back to him, only the back of his head, and the rest of the place was blocked by the back of the chair covered with animal skins. Wren is going to say hello to this person, isn't it Zhuo Si. Anda, I only knew after I went over and said hello.
The person reading the book in the big tent was the cavalry commander that Wren bumped into during the day, and he was intently looking at the book in his hand at this time, this book was not a famous book, nor a book related to military affairs, but a book of nobles in the inner city. He was flipping through everyone's profiles, stopping from time to time to turn the pages and thinking about something, not noticing the blade of a short sword sticking out of his chin.
By the time he realized something was wrong, the blade was already on his throat. He was still wearing armor, but not a helmet, which was sitting squarely on the large table in front of him. There are also some pending papers on the table. His vest was sweating, damn it, who had touched it?
"Don't be silent! Mr. Anda. The voice came from behind him, a little indistinct, maybe talking through the fabric or something, it should be a masked person speaking.
He didn't make a sound, waiting for the person behind him to continue talking. The other party knows his name, so he must have come specially for himself. He couldn't think of anyone who would come to his troubles, and wasn't all his troubles gone? Could it be that the rest of Stennis had come to him? Unless it's the guy's family, they know what is going on? No way, he saw that all of them were dead, except for the people who were walking with him. No, even if that guy's family couldn't have known about it so quickly, and even if they knew that sending someone to kill him would be two or three months later.
"Do you remember what happened a few days ago?" interrupted Zhuo Si with a cold voice behind him. Anda's crankiness. This time he was really surprised, the person who came was really related to the incident of a few days ago, could it really be that someone was not dead, but how could he find him? The plan was seamless, how could he be found all of a sudden?
"What...... What is it? I don't know. I'm not the Zhuosi you're looking for. Anda. My name is Dent. Doppler. Who are you?" Anda forced himself to compose, remembering that he had joined the Ron Empire army without his real name, and he had said his name in the Ronn Empire army.
"Oh! Mr. Doppler. When did you change your nationality? Don't play tricks, tell me all over again. Otherwise, I'll cut your throat straight and make you regret for the rest of your life that you didn't tell the truth. You only have one last chance!" the cold voice stimulated Zhuo Si. Anda's nerves, he felt his throat being cut into the flesh by the short sword, and soon the blood would spurt out, and for a while he thought that the other party had already made a move, but when he found that he was still breathing well, he was sure that he was still alive.
He wanted to reach out and wipe his sweat, but as soon as his hand moved, a voice behind him sounded: "Don't move! It's been too late, and before I can make it clear, I'll do it right away!"
"Don't! I said! You can't blame me for this. "Zhuo Si. Anda was a little panicked, he hurriedly regained his composure, and while organizing the words in his head, he began to say:
Where does this begin? You must know about the ambush in our midst. But how could our whereabouts be revealed? Surely I didn't say it. I was in the marching column at the time. It was attacked by the enemy like that. A few people around me and I put up our shields and crouched under a ramp, but we were lucky not to be killed by the crossbow arrows. Several of us were captured by the enemy, and because of my rank, the enemy did not neglect me, and in order to survive and reunite with my family, I told the enemy everything I knew truthfully, and this was in exchange for their trust and let me be the commander of the guardian legion of this inner city.
Zhuo Si. After Anda finished speaking, he quietly waited for the person behind him. The man didn't speak, which made Zhuo Si. Anda thought that the person was no longer behind him, but the other party's short sword was still there, and he wanted to turn his head to look at the other party, but he knew that he would definitely not survive when he saw the other party's face.
"Panic, I approve you on behalf of the god of the heavens, you are a disloyal and dishonest person, you will not be able to enter the temple of the gods after you die, and your soul will be imprisoned forever in the hell field of Shura. The person behind him was holding Zhuo Si with one hand. Anda's hair kept his head from moving at will, and he clasped Zhuo Si tightly with one hand. Anda swords around his neck, and then whispered the prayer before the execution.
"No! No, I was wrong, I was wrong! I lied. "Zhuo Si. Anda said very nervously, his voice was much too high, but he was worried that people outside would hear it, so he quickly and consciously lowered his voice again.
"I should have kept my promise to put you to death right now. But I want to hear the truth of the matter. I just want the truth of the matter. If you don't give it to me, you'll die immediately. If you give it to me, you may have a way out. The person behind him seemed to suppress his anger, and his tone was not good, and he clearly conveyed it to Zhuo Si word by word. Anda.
"Okay, I said, I said, here's the thingβ" Zhuo Si. Anda spoke much faster this time:
It was true that I leaked our whereabouts the other day, but there were a few other people who leaked their mouths first. It came to pass that I was captured by the enemy when I went out with a few of my men to reconnoitre. The enemy threatens us, let's reveal the plan of action of the troops. At that time, we were all very tight-mouthed, and no one said anything. The enemy began to torture, and a weak fellow could not hold it anymore, he surrendered, and he told the enemy everything he knew. But because of his low rank, he didn't know much, so the enemy didn't put us to death at once.
They began to kill our men one by one, and I was so miserable that I decided to surrender in order to save the few men who were left. I gave an account of the army's plan of action. The enemy left a few of my men, and then changed a few of their men to put on our armor, and they also fed me poison, and if I didn't take the antidote on time, I would die.
These men returned to the group with me, and in order to save my life, I had to say nothing, until I was ambushed, and they protected me, and the enemy did not harm us. To reward me for my merits, the enemy made me a corps commander. That's how it is.
"You still don't want to tell the truth! Hmph! There is no cure! How dare the enemy put a newly surrendered man in such a position as the commander of the inner city guard corps of a big city? Since you don't want to tell the truth, then there is no need to say it, I just know that you did it. I'm Wren. Steve!" The voice of the man behind him was already furious, and he heard the last name, Zhuo Si. Anda has understood everything thoroughly.
"Help...... Gollum...... Poof-"Zhuo Si." Anda struggled to shout, but it was too late, Wren had already slit his throat, blood splattered everywhere, and Dying Zhuosi. Anda struggled desperately, flicking the helmet on the table to the ground and making a noise.
Oh no, it's going to alarm the guards outside. Wren pushed Zhuo Si away. Anda let him struggle on the ground while he hurried to the entrance of the tent.
"Ahh
After seeing that the person in front of him was Wren, the eighth master hurriedly said, "Hurry up! β
Then there was a firework explosion in the sky outside, and then the alarm bell on the outer city wall rang out.
