Chapter 9 Follow the right person
"It is not clear what is happening in the city, and there has been no major movement on the border recently, and there are more than 100,000 troops stationed in and around the city of Foote, which cannot be easily captured. Sting was still puzzled.
Even if the enemy army sneaks up and responds internally, it will always take tens of thousands of troops to control the situation, right? At the key points on the border, it is still possible to buy one or two, but could it be that the hundreds of outposts scattered around have all defected?
In Fengluo's room, more than a dozen people sat down around the table. Feng Luo is not an official military position, but he is the strongest, and he is the master here, sitting in the first place and presiding over the meeting. However, in the current situation, no one can say any constructive opinions.
"There won't be many of them, and it's impossible for all the sentinels to mutiny. Feng Luo pondered and said, "It is completely possible to be bribed or secretly take out one or two sentinels and not let us know, so it is not difficult to come over a few hundred people." ”
"They must have attacked the outpost and secretly crossed the border!" said one of the heavy cavalry knights. The people of Davao do not want to believe that their robes will become traitors, and it is much easier to accept being attacked.
With his knowledge of the Land of the Dead, Feng Luo felt that the sneak attack had a good chance of success, so he nodded along with everyone. If so, things will be simpler. However, based on the possibilities currently at hand, it is more likely that a traitor will come out.
"If a few hundred people come and also control Foote City, there must be a traitor, and this traitor's status is not low!"
Traitors are always the most hated, especially in the critical period of resisting foreign enemies, and it is easy to demoralize traitors. But they have to admit that this is very likely.
"Let's discuss what to do next, we don't have much time left. Feng Luo diverted everyone's attention, if the matter was already like this, he could only find a way to redeem it.
"Your Excellency is right, we have to hurry. If the other side takes control from the city, the army will come soon, and we need to turn the situation around before the army comes!" Sting said.
However, everyone looked at Sting with confused eyes, as if they were looking at a monster. Yes, more than 100,000 troops have not worked, they are controlled by others, what is the role of a dozen people here?
Feng Luo didn't care at all, coughed, and said, "If the other party wants to control the army, it must go through several generals and legion commanders, so the main figures in the army should still be alive." Moreover, their control over the army is not as in place as it seems. ”
Everyone's attention was attracted by Feng Luo, although they didn't know why Feng Luo was talking about this.
"My guess is that the mutineer was at least the head of the legion. Somehow is taken to control the generals, and in the next day or two, Fute City will fall into the hands of the Haori Kingdom. The army on the other side may be crossing the border!" Feng Luo said with great certainty.
Stin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "As my lord expected, it should be right. The soldiers I met in the city of Foot, the attack seemed ferocious, but they were releasing water. When we fled, there was no one to chase us. ”
The few people who went to Fute City together for help, in retrospect, realized that those soldiers were indeed wrong. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for just a few of them, and after a long and desperate run, it would have been impossible to escape. But the other party's pursuit was weak, allowing them to escape easily.
The situation does not seem to be as bad as imagined, but how to recover it, I can't think of a good way for a while. After all, there are too few of them, and in front of the army, they are no different from dust.
Several pairs of eyes stared at Feng Luo, expecting him to make a decision. Feng Luo rubbed his temples helplessly and began to tell the plan he had just thought of.
"We will treat others the way they would be, but there are many details that need to be discussed and are very dangerous. After Feng Luo said his plan, he asked everyone's opinions.
Ten people from the heavy cavalry squad were naturally fine, and they fully agreed to participate in the operation. The two people who were bought, although Feng Luo repeatedly emphasized that they were no longer slaves, but the impact of baptism was too deep, and they still obeyed Feng Luo's words.
The key is the three people recruited, will they participate?
"Great, my lord, if you have made great contributions, you will become a big official in the future, right? Let's follow you, can we be a small official?" Osri, who had a mustache, asked Ai.
"Osli, do you want to be an official and want to go crazy? The situation is so dangerous, you still ask the adults for their official titles?"
"You little potato, don't, don't pretend to be serious with Lao Tzu. There is no good, you will wholeheartedly follow the adult from birth to death?"
The rest of the men were a little strong, named Hax, who was silent all the way, and did not speak at the moment, looking at Feng Luo with an expectant face.
Feng Luo was not disgusted by Osley's directness, on the contrary, he was somewhat grateful to Osley. If someone doesn't do their best, it's easy to go wrong.
He looked around, his gaze resting on the five subordinates: "No matter what your previous identity was, since you entered this house, you are my brother. If I make meritorious service, I will definitely be rewarded by you, and if I am a high-ranking official, I will definitely help you get a title!"
Being an official and knighted is the dream of many people. Feng Luo himself is not a real baron at the moment, and his territory is only ten miles, but he made such a promise, which seems to outsiders to be bragging.
But the eyes of the five people who heard it all lit up, and it seemed that the official position had been obtained. People who have experienced a lot of things, as long as they have a little brain, know that it is more important to have skills than others.
If the master is developed, will it be no good for his loyal subordinates? Feng Luo worked hard to save everyone during the day, and there were more than ten small holes on his back. And he is a high cultivator and a smart person, just like a light in the night, he can't keep a low profile if he wants to.
"I, Hax, swear in the name of the true god that I will follow my master Fengluo with blood in this life, and if I break my oath, I am willing to shed my blood and die!"
Osli and Wang Yong had no choice, so they had to swear along. But they are all willing, and it is far better to follow a lord to get ahead than to be a bounty hunter at the bottom.
Feng Luo provided ideas, specific routes and steps, which needed to be planned by Sting and others. The real difficulty is that the time is too tight and there is not much time to prepare. But it's okay to do this, the other party's foothold is not stable, and he was caught off guard.
After the discussion, it was early past dinner time. The women are very patient in preparing the food so that the men who are ready to do big things want to use it.
"Eat enough, rest for two hours, let's leave on time!" Feng Luo ordered in a low voice.
