Chapter 52: The Truth (1)

"No...... Just ~ the two of us...... In the ~forehead ......" the guard's throat was pinched and gurgling, and after squeezing out half a sentence with all his strength, Anelsa crushed his throat bone and suffocated to death.

"Search to see if there's a key or something, would you pick the lock? It's not safe to leave a body here. Bell helped Annesha level the guard's body.

"No...... There was no need to hide the body, that puddle of blood was enough to raise the alarm. Now I can only pray that no one will hang out here. It's too ruthless, aren't you, are you really a novice hunter?" An'esa pointed to a large pool of blood near the wooden door.

Bell sneered, "This is a way to hunt the giant ape at close range, the giant ape is very fast, and it is difficult to use a bow and arrow." In addition, their vitality is very tenacious, even if their throats are cut, they can kill two or three adult men before they die, and they can only use this method to wrap their arms around it and break its neck at the first time. ”

Ann Elsa glanced at him helplessly, "The giant ape will not stand there and wait for you to cut his throat." ”

"The Great Ape has a wide menu, including corpses and carrion, and Orion only needs to put on makeup and dress up as a stinking corpse to lure it in. Bell quietly pressed his ear to the wooden door, listening for movement inside.

The corners of An'esha's mouth twitched, and she muttered in a low voice, "What kind of wild animal am I in your eyes......"

Bell was stunned, grinned and stuck out his tongue, then straightened up and tried to scrape the wooden door with his dagger, making a clicking sound. There was no reaction on the other side of the door, and it seemed that the guard was not lying, and it was probably only the two of them guarding here.

Gently pushing the wooden door, he found that the door was not locked, and with a little force, the door was pushed open a gap. No one in the side chamber was found through the crack in the door. Bell mustered up his courage and quietly pushed the door halfway open with his fingerpricked left hand. The dagger on the right is ready to stab at the enemy that appears in front of you.

The side room of the command room was empty, and Bell's little head peeked out of the half-open wooden door. Seeing that there was no one in the house, Bell crept in, and behind her, Anysha looked back at the end of the passage. It seems that no one will come down, and the sentries on duty that I just met on the top of the watchtower, seeing that they are full of energy, it should be that they will change their guard soon, I hope they will stay on it for a while.

The two of them did not dare to make any more noise when they entered the room, there was only a wall between this and the main hall of the command room, and through the wooden door between the rooms, Bell and Anelsa could faintly hear someone talking in the command room.

It sounded like Commander Schumilott, who couldn't hear very clearly through the wooden door, and Bell tried to push the door, but found that he couldn't push it, probably locked from there.

Just as she was frowning, An Elsa gently pulled the doorknob next to her, and the door actually moved!

Bell glanced at Anesa with some embarrassment, raised his hand to the doorknob, and took a deep breath. Behind this door is the main hall of the command room, and there is at least one other person in it besides Shumilott, and the action of opening the door must be cautious, and the amplitude must be reduced as much as possible. It would be enough to have a gap that would be loud enough for the sound to come through.

Holding his breath, Bell slowly pulled the wooden door, and Annesha held the knife in her hand behind her. Gradually, a gap opened between the wooden door and the door frame, and the people in the room continued to speak, seemingly not noticing that the door had been pulled open.

"So far, only two blockades have been breached, and the Sentinels have killed one hundred and seventy-four suspicious people in the past few days. In addition to the large caravans, the people associated with the Lancer Empire in the nearby villages have been cleansed. "Shumilott seems to be reporting something.

"That means that there is not a single person left alive, and have you caught anyone who broke through the blockade?" said a middle-aged man.

"Yes, my lord, it has been determined that one of them was the work of someone from the village of Loire, and the other was attacked at the outpost quarantine station, and some bandit groups have claimed responsibility for the incident. I have already sent troops to encircle and suppress it, and I believe that the results will be achieved soon. Schumilott was very respectful, and his somewhat trembling voice seemed to be a little nervous.

Bell's heart was shocked behind the door, there was no living mouth, could it be that Hertz Keqi and the others had been killed?!Everyone related to the Lancer Empire had been killed? Why was this? What were they going to hide from it? Feeling excited, her hands trembled a little, and Ann Elsa hurriedly grabbed Bell's hand, not being discovered by the people in the house because she was too excited.

"Hmm...... Strange things have been reported lately? It seems that someone is saying that Loire was invaded by Lancer. Have you heard this rumor?"

"Although his subordinates have never heard of it, in the ruins of the Loire, there are many traces of Lancetdi**. Perhaps it's because of the sheer number of veterans of the Lancer Empire there. ”

"Hehehe, you're a smart man, I guess it's not difficult for you to guess the truth of the matter, right?" The middle-aged man seemed to stand up, or suddenly turned around, and made a noise! It is not difficult to hear that the man who was talking to Shumillot was wearing a heavy armor.

Bell, who was listening outside the door, frowned, could it be that the Vizko outpost did not collude with the Lancer Empire? The real collusion was with people with greater military ranks? The sentinels received secret orders to rob and kill the refugees.

Now this middle-aged man, coming to Commander Shumilott, should he be trying to kill him?!But why is this? The people of the Lancer Empire could have bought Shumilott, oh! I think the purpose of this middle-aged man's trip is this.

Bell's mind was a little spinning, and the conversation in the room continued. Shumilott snorted, not knowing how to face the man's rhetorical question. Some of them were speechless.

"Looks like you know, go ahead, it's okay. I'm not here to kill people. ”

Shumilott muttered for a moment, "Hmm...... The fortress wants to blame the Lancer Empire for the Loire affair. Could it be that the Empire is going to war?"

"A mere Loire is not worth the Empire's war. If a few border outposts are added to rebel together, the Empire will not sit idly by!"

"What?!Outpost Rebellion!?I! I didn't do anything like that!"

"Killed innocent villagers, and got rid of the spies deployed by the Lancer Empire in the border area. Not only will the Orsay Empire not let you go, but even the military department of the Lancer Empire will be greatly annoyed. The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Bell, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was completely confused, this Lancer Empire had indeed invaded! So many Lancer Empire soldiers who attacked the village that day! Wasn't it?! The Orsay Empire wanted to frame the Lancer Empire?! Wasn't their attack for the demon gem on the badge?!

"This!" Shumilott panicked, there were many things he couldn't figure out.

"I finally know why the Empire ordered you to remove the displaced refugees and let you kill the people associated with the Lancer Empire. In order to achieve this goal, the Empire purchased a large amount of Lancer** equipment from merchants. In order to let the refugees know that it was the Lancer Empire that attacked them. ”

"Shumilott, don't tell me that you killed all the refugees, this is a dense forest, and the refugees will not be so easy to kill. At this time, someone must have fled to the border fortress to warn about the invasion of the Lancer Empire. ”
