Chapter 180: The Black Hand

Looking at Giggs's gloomy face, Alaye and Sifu glanced at each other, but outside, there were many other existences belonging to Giggs's subordinates, and they naturally didn't want to ask Giggs why he suddenly looked unhappy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Alaye and Siv are considering it from the perspective of friends, so it is naturally not good to ask in public, and as the brigade commander of the second brigade, Alan naturally wants to ask, because it is obvious that something has happened in Qingfeng Town that is not known to them, and as a soldier who has been fighting all year round, Alan is very keen to smell that something is wrong.

In response to Alan's inquiry, Giggs slightly restrained the unhappy expression on his face, and rode on a unicorn to Allen, who was walking beside him and was one step behind.

"What else can it be, Antonio this guy ran away, and took a large number of people with him, otherwise would this town be sparsely populated like this? Send someone down to inquire more carefully~ I want to know if Antonio is simply running away, or as I guessed in my heart~"

"Guess?" Alan asked, curiously.

Giggs didn't answer Allen's question, but said to Allen in a deep voice, "It seems that I can't just go back, pass the order, bury the pot and cook, rest for an hour after eating, and we will continue to set off." “

"Everything will be clear in the next territory. ”

After a brief lunch, he ordered the soldiers of the guard to buy some fresh fruit for Alayh and Sif, and after the fruit was handed over to the two moon elves, Giggs directly ordered the whole army to pull out the camp.

Without too many words, the leader's mood naturally affected the words and deeds of the whole army from top to bottom, and he kept silent as much as possible during the march, for fear that he would accidentally cause trouble.

At this time, Alan was talking to Giggs about the news that he personally led people to find out during the break, and Giggs nodded from time to time while listening to what Allen said.

"Antonio issued an order to recruit soldiers, and took the soldiers and their relatives away half-temptingly and half-coercively~"

"Using his own personal guards, he forcibly expropriated all the food and wealth in the territory, and even the warehouses in the town ran out of rats~"

"As for where to retreat, my subordinates are incompetent, and I only found out that he moved to the northeast with the team~"

"In a few days, I'll know~" Giggs replied lightly, and Alan retired with interest.

Four days later, looking at the equally empty town, Giggs couldn't help but sneer again.

"The whole army is heading north, I want to see if the few lords in this vicinity have run away for me~"

Five days later, still many of his men looked around, not looking at the town in front of them, Giggs directly ordered,

"Direction, east, go!"

Twenty days later, even the illiterate soldiers in the garrison felt that something was wrong, and in almost a month, under the leadership of Giggs, the soldiers of the garrison had occupied eight territories.

But rather than occupying eight territories, Giggs led them to patrol the eight territories, and after occupying the eight impoverished towns, they had to provide food to the inhabitants of the territory so that they would not starve to death.

In the previous battle led by Allen, there was no such situation, although those armies were all melon skin troops, and they hardly caused too many casualties to them, but after all, they were still in battle.

What kind of thing is this now, is the lord traveling with these soldiers?

The officials who followed Giggs had already returned to the territory under Giggs's orders, and brought back the news that Giggs was fighting outside, and this news naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the daughters in the family.

Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, but now that Giggs is leading the army, Celia and they can't do anything, they can only do it like when Giggs fought all year round in the previous two years, in front of Mrs. Kuo at home, but with the chessboard made by Giggs, Celia and they have a little more to pass the time.

Three months later, there were only four territories left in the northeastern part of the Whispering Forest unoccupied, and in those three months, as before, there had been no war at all, except for the mob that had gathered because of hunger and wanted to threaten the army for food.

With the passage of time and the support of the intelligence department, which specializes in mobilizing agents to investigate, the mastermind behind the scenes finally emerges in front of Giggs's eyes.

"Count Aluca?" Giggs muttered the name repeatedly.

A senior agent of the Intelligence Service who reported the information to Giggs replied, "The Count of Aluca is the only human nobleman in the Forest of Whispers to receive the title of Earl from the Elves, and has contributed from generation to generation, and has a history of nobility for five hundred and sixty years. “

"It was his plan for the lords to move into his territory with their soldiers, and according to reliable sources, when Lord Allen sent his troops this year, the operation in Aluca had already begun, and it was not until your lordship of the Second Brigade that he had just finished dealing with Antonio and other lords who bordered the border of the battle at that time. ”

The index finger of his right hand unconsciously tapped on the top of the small table on the side, and the sound of "dong dong dong" echoed in the room of this slightly rudimentary wooden barracks.

Glancing up at the ordinary-looking Intelligence Service officer in front of him, Giggs asked an important question.

"What about the army? How many troops do these lords have?"

"The Count of Aluca gathered a total of thirty-four lords, including him, and these lords numbered as few as five hundred soldiers, and as many as the Count of Aluca, who had at least two thousand soldiers. “

"So, even if the number of their troops can not be actually detected, it is boldly estimated that their army will exceed 20,000~"

Nodding imperceptibly, and pondering for a moment, Giggs waved his hand to signal that the intelligence officer could retire.

After the intelligence officers left, Alaye and Sif from the cubicle walked out and came to Giggs's side.

"Do you want to withdraw first, transfer your other two legions, and then come to the lord's coalition on this side?" Alaye suggested to Giggs.

After thinking about it for a while, Giggs shook his head, "No, they must be defeated now, otherwise it will be even more difficult to defeat this side when they train the soldiers who can still be called militia into elite soldiers." ”

"I'm sorry, we can't help you, otherwise we will definitely break the tacit understanding between the elves now~" Seve said a rare long sentence, and the words were full of apologies.

"Haha, what's wrong with you two? How could I, Giggs, ever be afraid of things in war? Just 20,000 soldiers, in my eyes, are just wooden stakes, I'm just thinking about how to fight~"

Giggs couldn't help but laugh out loud in the room, "It's just 20,000 recruits~"
