Chapter 39: An Unexpected Discovery
Walking through the streets of the outpost, you can occasionally see a few people drinking and chatting. The number of night patrol sentries is not very large, because there are too many soldiers sent out to enforce the blockade, and on the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the outpost, this is already the largest number of night patrol personnel that can be dispatched.
"There aren't many sentinels, but the most troublesome are the people on the watchtower. Anesa, why did you mention that you want to visit the springs?"
"If the infiltration fails, we can get here as soon as possible and escape this place through the tunnels. It would be too difficult to get through the gates of the outpost, and it would have been easier to kill the guards in the inn's tunnels. ”
Bell nodded, "Well, I hope we can sneak in." As long as you enter the command post without any problems, it is possible to find another tunnel. ”
"With the current level of security at the outpost, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to infiltrate it. What's more, during the day, I heard that the outpost was preparing to send troops to encircle and suppress the robbers, and maybe the guards would be even emptier tomorrow night. Ann Esa had a relieved expression, although it would still be dangerous, but this was also good news.
"Well, I just don't know what will happen to Uncle Kou Ning. I don't think he'll be fine. Bell was still a little worried when he heard the word encirclement.
An Elsa waved her hand, "Kou Ning, nothing can happen." He's so much better than we thought. Judging from the way we responded to our sneak attack, it can be said that it was quite perfect. Don't worry about him for now, and after you do your job well, let's inquire about him. ”
Bell hummed, and the two of them continued to explore their way. It stands to reason that the most taboo thing about tall watchtowers is targets that are too close to them, which is difficult to observe, but the Vizko outpost has four tall towers, and their warning range completely surrounds the entire Vizko outpost.
Except for some narrow alleys, all open areas are completely exposed to the line of sight of the sentries on the watchtowers. In particular, there is a large open area in front of the command post and the barracks.
In order to infiltrate the command post, the two had to get through the area without attracting the sentinel's attention.
In the corner of the house, I took a closer look at the command post. On a three-step stone staircase, two guards armed with spears stood on both sides, seemingly weak guards, but guarding the only entrance to the command post.
There was no martial law in front of the command post, and when they saw someone swaggering past the front of the command post, Bell and Anesa walked over in a small circle. When I got closer, I realized that a banquet was going on here. Because of the height, the two of them could not see the situation in the house, but could only see the bright lights.
The room was noisy, and the sound of laughter and clinking glasses was faintly heard. It was both a military and a civilian institution, and it was also a meeting place for the commander of the outpost to entertain wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, and the real command room was on the top floor of the command post.
Passing by the door of the command post casually, he silently counted the number of windows, and Bell calculated that he could enter it from the window as a breakthrough. What I need to know now is when this kind of banquet usually ends, and if it is the all-night one, my plan will be ruined.
The two made another detour and returned to the place where they had observed the command post, waiting for the banquet to end.
The sentry on the watchtower vaguely saw the two of them, and made a point to tell his captain that there were two suspicious people hiding there. But the captain of the sentry came over and said, "It's a couple dating there! Look at how you have never seen the world!"
"But they all have swords, how can a tryst come out with weapons?" said the sentry, unconvinced.
At this moment, a veteran next to him accosted: "If you say that you have never seen the world, you have never seen the world! People live with us when they go out, who knows if it is safe at night! They carry weapons with them, in case they meet drunks, it will save us trouble!"
Another sentry came over and said, "yes, yes, don't worry about it, the security down there are those patrol sentries in charge." When something happens, it's not too late for you to say more!"
The sentry scratched his head, as if he felt that there was some truth in what they had said. I was still too broad, and when I thought about it, I had a late-night tryst with the girl in the outpost, and I was also looking for that kind of dark corner, so I fully understood it when I thought about it.
Not long passed, the door of the command post gradually opened, and about a dozen people walked out slowly surrounded by a man in white, and the commander of the outpost behind him sent out with a dozen non-commissioned officers.
The figure of the man in white was very familiar, and after seeing his appearance clearly, Bell and An'esha, who were peeping in the corner, almost fell out of their eyes!
Surprised, Bell also found that all the men who came out of it were men, and there was no lady. Could it be that this base brand is really a?
The idea that the kiyako was equal to the flashed through Bell's mind, and was replaced by another kind of excitement! I didn't expect this kiyaki to have such a good relationship with the commander, and he actually attended the highest banquet here on the first day he arrived in Vizko, and he said that he would stay here for three days, and he didn't know if he could take advantage of it.
Dragging Anelsa back to the hotel and entering the room, Bell sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the list of goods by the backpack, and looked at it carefully.
On the way back, Anesa already knew what Bell was planning, and if she could use Kibrand's forces to enter the Vizko outpost, then everything would be much smoother. The only problem is that I don't know if Ki Branding has ever talked to the commander about the bearskin.
"We'll go to Ki Brand's tomorrow and come back with him in exchange for something, and see if there's a chance to get into the command post through him. Bell pondered how he could take advantage of him.
"Doesn't it mean that the command post usually handles some civilian matters, why don't we go in during the day?" After learning that the outpost could allow people to enter and exit, An Elsa always felt that she didn't have to sneak in at night.
"There are too many people during the day, and it is easy to be spotted. What's more, the two guards at the door are not decorations, and it is impossible to go in and out of there without checking if there is anything on you. If you are asked to search when you come out, it will be a bad thing. Bell knew that the vendor couldn't get in, and that he couldn't move around the command post, so he didn't know where the entrance to the tunnel was.
Since this is the case, if he and An Elsa go in during the day, it is destined to have no effect. But if you can use the power of Ki to get in and out of there, there shouldn't be so many constraints.
"Then do you have any good idea to let him help us in? I always think it's safer for us to sneak in, the fewer people who know our whereabouts, the safer we are. ”
Bell pondered for a moment, if it was purely for the map, it was indeed the safest way to sneak in. But he had another plan, that is, he wanted to know what the relationship between the commander of the outpost and the Lancer Empire was. All clues prove that the Outpost is in collusion with the Lancer Empire.
If you can get to know the outpost commander through Ki-branding, you might even be able to get some of the whereabouts of the other villagers.
