Chapter 180. In the third act, we all want her
"We're here now."
Adela pointed to a point on the map and marked several regional cores in turn with the pen in her hand, and her tone became serious: "Due to the attack on several nearby locations connecting the two regions, the forces belonging to the king are gradually taking control of the eastern region, so it can be said that our lives have entered the countdown. β
Those teams were equipped with more equipment and more firepower to support than they could have imagined, and the devastation caused by the surprise attack threw an already compact organization into disarray, and even if they still had the power in their hands, they could not be put on the front line.
"So now the first task is to get the disorganized team back up, and we're just at a disadvantage, not a defeat."
Adella's words made Zhou Jinru's eyes light up, I didn't expect this heroine, who has always been a vase, to be able to say pertinent words, is this a speech before departure?
He coughed slightly, took the initiative in his hand, and drew a circle with his fingers within the scope of the Eastern Region: "We still have an advantage, His Majesty the King is in his hat, and the nobles care about their money bags, but they forget that there are countless civilians here who are hungry, and I have a natural advantage in the Eastern Region." β
Garville, who was standing behind the two people, crossed his arms and said in an unkind tone: "When are we leaving?" β
Zhou Jinru responded: "Wait a few more minutes, my equipment is not in place yet." β
Adella wondered, "What equipment do you want?" β
"A flag."
As soon as he finished speaking, a shouting voice came from behind him: "Zhou, this is the flag you want." β
Zhou Jinru turned around, and a faction member walked up to him with a wooden box on his back, and put his things down, inside the wooden box, containing parts for assembling the flagpole, and a brand new flag.
"This is the flag of our faction?"
Zhou Jinru smiled: "Now it's yours." β
Adella picked up the flag and glanced at it, and immediately put it down, her expression a little ugly: "You want to kill me." β
"I think you're Gaul."
"Now it's called the Occupation Zone, and I'm Victorian."
Adella sighed, expressing her helplessness at Zhou Jinru's unauthorized behavior, if this flag was erected in this city, what would await them would be an even more formidable enemy.
"In that case, I've prepared another flag."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
This three-person reconnaissance team walked through the winding sewers, and to Zhou Jinru's surprise, even Adela was well aware of the complex underground environment, and it seemed that she had traveled between the sewers in the two years she had joined the faction.
"We're already in the Eastern Region near the Sega River, and according to the information provided by the previous intelligence officers, there are at least two squads of more than twenty people here, they are well armed, and they are accompanied by several magicians."
Adella's voice was extremely low, and she quietly hid behind the haystack, flanked by Zhou Jinru and Gavier.
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but say: "Even if the other party has a magician, we have the big chief Gawei." β
His words made Gaville quite useful, and he immediately hit his fist: "Those weak magicians, I punch one at a time, and all magicians should be spanked!" β
"Here's your chance."
The three men were hiding, when they saw several soldiers in regular army uniforms approaching from the opposite street corner.
"A three-person team, three people have a certain gap, and a sudden attack may not be able to take them all."
Garville snorted, "Really?! β
"I don't doubt the strength of the big chief, but the three-person team doesn't mean that there are only three of them, one, two, three, four, the first three people walked out five steps, and three more people came out of the corner, they are actually six people, if we attack rashly just now, we will face six heavily armed soldiers."
After Zhou Jinru's explanation, plus the six people who actually appeared in the field of vision, Jia Wei stopped talking, and his eyes stared directly at the soldiers who were approaching.
"I have a solution."
Adele, who had not spoken, said suddenly.
"I'm going to lure them over, and we'll knock them out together."
Zhou Jinru's expression froze, and he said in his heart Are you the protagonist of the hot-blooded comic, so reckless, the commander on the opposite side arranged a six-person patrol to prevent a surprise attack, and everyone was killed.
"We can solve three at most, no, four, the big chief can solve two, but what about the remaining two, as long as the flare flies out, we won't even have a chance to run."
Zhou Jinru didn't know if Adella listened to it, she was lying on the edge of the haystack, her eyes were fierce.
"Wait, let's not rush, we need the right way to solve the problem."
Adella shook her head: "What we need now is to boost morale, not to move forward cautiously." β
Now that the leader has made a decision, Zhou Jinru is no longer rebuttal: "When will you start?" β
"Soon."
Zhou Jinru visually measured the distance and said in a low voice: "If you are sure, when the three soldiers in front pass by, attack the three soldiers in the back, and put them down as fast as possible, I can buy you two seconds at most." β
"Two seconds is enough."
This is Gavel's voice.
Zhou Jinru climbed up the haystack with his hands and feet, crouched with Adella, waited for a few seconds, and shouted: "Up!" β
I saw Adella lying on the haystack suddenly burst out, drew the long sword hanging from her waist, and stabbed at the nearest soldier.
"Lighthouse!"
Zhou Jinru snorted softly, only to see a burst of bright light flicker, and the three soldiers who looked back to check the situation because of the attack on their companions behind them fell into a state of blindness in a state of surprise.
He himself was not idle, he jumped off the haystack and went straight to the soldiers who were stuck in place because of the abnormal state, and waved a pair of fists, knocking down the three of them in an instant.
On the other side, when Gavel let go of his hand, the unconscious victim fell at his feet.
"Good job."
Adella retracted her gaze, and the two of them said that they couldn't do it, but in the blink of an eye, they took down six patrolling soldiers, making people want to beat them.
Zhou Jinru didn't know what Adella was thinking, and beckoned: "Hurry, move quickly, take off all the useful equipment on their bodies and take them away, especially the valuable ones, don't let any of them go." β
"You're so short of money?"
Gaville was dissatisfied with the man's greed for money.
"It's not that I'm so short of money, it's that the civilians here are short of money."
The loss of contact between the two patrol teams will inevitably attract the attention of the area commander, who will send several teams to check on the situation for security reasons, and they will have to create the illusion that the attackers on the patrol are civilians, and at least mislead the other side, no matter how successful they can be.
"People like you would have been killed by me a long time ago."
Garvier frowned, grabbed a soldier's collar and reached out to reach for a few etched bullets, a pocket watch, and compressed biscuits that hadn't finished eating.
Zhou Jinru just glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh: "The food is really good." β
"Boring."
Garville threw half of the compressed biscuit on the ground and searched for another soldier, but this time she found nothing, nothing but the dropped weapon.
Zhou Jinru saw the half of the compressed biscuit, quickly picked it up and threw it vigorously at the Saiga River, his expression was a little solemn: "You can throw everything, but the food can't be left, now there is a problem with the food supply in the Eastern Region, and the civilians who attack the patrol will definitely take all the food, otherwise they will starve to death." β
Gaville blushed and said in a low voice: "I know, don't say it anymore, just like the old mother." β
"He is indeed an old mother, a manservant of the Shivaish family, not an old mother?"
Adele, who had only one soldier to search, quickly finished her work, put away the weapons that had fallen at her feet, and pointed in the other direction of the street: "Let's go that way." β
Zhou Jinru did not object, the information he had now was too small, and it was not clear how many troops were encroaching on the Eastern Region.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The young officer looked carefully at the terrain of the sand table in front of him, the sand table was stamped with several colored flags, dividing the East University into small grids, for him, this was undoubtedly a game, and the victory kit was who could master all the divided maps.
Since the launch of the raid, the city guard has not encountered any organized resistance, and in just two hours, they have not only penetrated deep into the eastern region, but also tried to divide the region.
Maybe this game will end soon.
The young man thought that he began to miss the steaming food and the gentle and considerate waiter.
It should have ended early, he stretched out his hand and twisted a colored flag, and was about to fall, when suddenly the adjutant came in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Mr. Abel, it's very advantageous for us now......"
Before the adjutant could finish speaking, Abel raised his hand and stopped him from continuing.
Abel asked rhetorically, "We have two squads looted by civilians, why didn't they report it to me just now?" β
"That's right, Your Excellency, Commander."
The adjutant's words failed to make Abel relax, he stared at a flag on the sand table, reached out to pick it up, and whispered: "The situation has been ascertained, it was really a civilian attack?" β
"Yes, Your Excellency, the Eastern Region has always been chaotic, full of criminals, full of villains who are good at lending usury, and; Disgusting tramp. β
"Let's check again, if it's really the civilians, you should be able to collect the missing weapons, so that you can completely sit in the Eastern Region that is out of control."
"Yes."
Although the adjutant agreed, he didn't feel that it was worth investing any more energy, after all, he could have as much as he wanted for such a worthless thing as standard equipment.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"How long are we going to wait?"
It was still the haystack, where the three of them squatted and peeked outside, and the patrols that had been on both sides before turned back and surveyed the scene of the incident, but in the end they found nothing.
"Zhou, how did you know they were coming back?"
"Guess."
Zhou Jinru didn't plan to dwell too much on this issue, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw those personnel who were scouting the scene leave.
It's really safe now.
For the facts that have already been established, when the reconnaissance is repeated, there will not be too much attention, and even if there are any clues, they will disappear.
"Where are we going now?"
Gavier asked Adella, and the other party looked down at the map by the faint light of the street lamp: "Go there wherever there is danger, this area has not become a safe zone, the six soldiers we knocked down, but the other dozens of people stationed here have long been vigilant, and they are not so easy to be fooled." β
"You want to be a firefighter?"
AdΓ¨le glanced at Zhou Jinru and said casually: "What's the difference between now and firefighting?" β
"Why don't we solve the problems in this area once and for all?"
"It's too close, it's too close to the Western Region, not to mention that some faction members have become traitors, or they are facing the powerful royal forces, and we can't do anything with just a few of us."
Soon, they left the area and headed for the area where the fighting was taking place in the Eastern Region.
Unable to find a new clue, Abel quickly forgot about these things, and he wanted to sit down and have a glass of wine before ...... than the boring and boring command of the battle.
"Your Excellency, Commander, someone wants to see you."
The adjutant hurried over, and the first words he said made Abel frown.
"Who?"
"She calls herself Veronica."
"Please let her in."
A few minutes later, Abel met Veronica in the makeshift command center, holding a thick book, her complexion was pale and bloodless, and her dark red coat made her look very depressed.
"Your Excellency Abel."
Abel corrected, "You should address me as Your Excellency the Commander. β
Veronica smiled noncommittally, did not listen to the request, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, Abel, you are enjoying the convenience I provide, can you do one thing for me?" β
Abel frowned: "What do you want?" β
"I want to be alone."
Veronica opened the book in her hand and took out a black and white photo and placed it in front of Abel: "I want this person." β
In the photo, it was a young woman, and Abel looked at it carefully several times and found that she did not recognize her.
"What's her name?"
"Adella Dawson, if Your Excellency the Commander can help me capture her, Your Excellency will get even more."
Abel did not directly agree, finding someone in the Eastern Region is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is not difficult for this woman to do some simple disguises to deceive the guards who search, and if she intends to leave the city, it is not without chance.
Veronica seemed to see Abel's thoughts, and explained: "Your Excellency, Commander, Adella Dawson will definitely not leave the city now, let alone change her name and surname to disguise herself, she will definitely appear." β
"Can you tell me why you want her?"
Veronica's red lips opened slightly, and she said softly, "It's us all who want her." β
In a trance, Abel seemed to see countless shadows surging behind this mysterious woman, and something was calling his name.
"If it's just this person, I can promise you."
"Happy cooperation, Your Excellency."
Her words caused Abel's pupils to contract dramatically.
