Chapter 661: Ambush in the Canyon
It didn't take long for the western city to show its outline, and Ice Pupil ordered everyone to leave their horses in the forest, riding a horse would attract attention, since the team in the ambush in the forest had been killed, the people in the city should also be on guard, so it would be even more difficult to sneak in and investigate the situation.
"Everybody stay here, be on guard all around, and Phil and I will go inside. Bing Tong glanced back at Yuexing hidden behind the clouds, and pressed the intercom: "Yuexing, the reconnaissance in the sky is entrusted to you, if there is any movement, please notify us at any time." β
"Got it. β
To enter the city, you first have to pass through the outer slums, rich and poor, there are two types of people everywhere, even Samaria.
There is a row of military camps not far from here, and the Combine does not intend to affect the stability of the city, but will hunt and kill the troops who go to the fortress to deliver food, and this is exactly the case, as long as the supply of food and grass is cut off, it will not be long before Samaria loses the war.
"Ice Pupil, do you want me to get rid of the barracks over there?" Yuexing's voice came from the communicator, and it seemed that she had already found a barracks not far from the city in the air.
"Don't worry, it's quiet over there right now, maybe it's a trap, so it's better to be careful. "Ice Pupil is not so naΓ―ve that she can even be on that kind of situation, if she lets Yuexing destroy the military camp, then her position will be exposed, and the next action will be very unfavorable.
"Well, then you should be careful, there may be enemies in the city as well. β
Yuexing's reminder made sense, and Ice Hitomi became more cautious, she kept looking at the surrounding environment and the number of magic sources, but everything was normal, but it was also possible that the situation would be the same as when she was in the forest, and now she only knew that the enemy might have a disturbing mage, so she had to raise her spirit of one hundred and twenty points.
"Sister Ice Pupil, I remember Wendys said that it was the government here that was responsible for transporting food, so let's go there first. β
There seemed to be a lingering haze over the city hall building, and it was surprisingly quiet, but the whole city was deadly silent, and it was impossible to smuggle food out of here, and anyone who left here would die at the hands of those enemies.
"I'm sorry, I'm the princess of Fia IV, can you let me meet your mayor?"
The people in the town hall building were cautious, and they looked around, probably afraid that the forces of the Combine were ambushing here. After a while, a man walked out of the crowd, his position seemed to be higher than the others, and after a short gesture, he led Fei'er and Ice Pupil to the top of the stairs, which had no windows and was far from the hall.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Fia, I am the Deputy Mayor of Frodo City, and the Mayor is upstairs, so I will take you to him now. β
"Wait a minute. Bingtong suddenly stopped the deputy mayor and asked in a low voice, "Have you been in the city all these days?"
"Of course, if you go out, you will be killed by the Combine Army, they don't know when they touched it, and we also know that Queen Wendys is surrounded in the fortress, but there has been no way to transport supplies out. β
"Okay, take us to the mayor, I have some questions for him. β
The deputy mayor cautiously went up the stairs with Fei'er and Bingtong, he looked nervous, but no one could easily come down in this situation.
"Here we are, this is it, but please keep your voice quiet, after all, the wall has ears. The man pointed to the red door not far away, and then walked back down the stairs, "I still have some things to do, so I'm out of company." β
"Tuk Tuk"
"Come in. There was a dull voice from inside.
Seeing two unfamiliar faces appear, the mayor was slightly surprised: "You are ......"
"I am Dracula of Semaria 61 Princess Fia IV, the queen is fighting the enemy in the fortress, our task is to dredge the passage of grain and grass from the city to the fortress, there is something I want to ask you, please cooperate. Phil skillfully showed off her coat of arms, only to let the mayor see it clearly and quickly put it away.
The mayor is convinced of Fei'er's identity, even if she is not the princess, it is a good thing to want to dredge the grain and grass passage between here and the fortress. He stood up and closed the curtains, and put his head out the door to take a closer look, then locked it from the inside.
"Your Highness Fiya, even so, it's better for us to keep our voices quiet. β
"I see. Fei'er glanced at the ice pupils and motioned for her to communicate with the mayor.
"Your Highness Fiya, how many people have you brought with you this time?" the mayor asked as he unfolded the map of the city and its outskirts.
"About fifty people, and one ......" Fei'er was about to tell Yuexing as well, but was choked back by a look from the ice pupil, "and a magician in charge of detection." β
"Is that so. The mayor looked sad and said, "I'm afraid this is not enough, the Combine Army has already deployed forces all over the city, and they believe that Queen Wendis of the fortress will definitely send someone here to inquire about the news, if the strength is not enough, it will be difficult to defeat them." β
"Is this all of Frodo's terrain?" Ice Hitomi asked, looking at the map.
"Yes, the Combine are stationed not far from here, in the southeast, which is the only way from Frodo to the fortress, and now they have blocked it, and we tried to secretly deliver some supplies from the night, but we were caught by the enemy in ambush in the forest, and all the people in charge of transporting them died there. β
"Hey, it looks like the only way to restore supplies is to kill them. β
"Don't be impulsive, I've said before that there might be a trap there, and we can't fight an army of that size with just a team of fifty. Ice Hitomi carefully surveyed the terrain around Frodo, hoping to find out any useful information from here.
"Mr. Mayor, what is this place?" Ice Pupil suddenly noticed that there was a canyon-like terrain at the corner between Frodo and the Combine Army, and looked up.
"It's the Komai Valley, about four or five kilometers from the city. β
"Is there anything special about that canyon?"
"I'll think about it......," the mayor said, after a moment of thought, "a layer of fog rises from about half past four in the morning, and the fog is so dense that no one dares to approach it during that time." β
"Fog?"
"Sister Bingtong, has you thought of any way?"
"If you lead them to the canyon, maybe you can win there with less against more. Ice Pupil looked at the canyon and thought, now that no one except them knew about the existence of the moon star, the sudden lightning magic should be able to create a lot of turnaround.
"But it's not easy to get to the canyon within the time limit. The mayor looked at the distance in between and said, "It is true that the distance of five kilometers is too long for them, and I am afraid that they will be wiped out before they reach there."
"But first we have to get rid of the Combine that has been planted in the city. β
"What is going to be done?" exclaimed the mayor, he didn't even know how many people the Combine had sent, let alone find them one by one.
"Summoning all the men of the town to this church is a rebellion against the war organized by the local church. Ice Pupil said, pointing to a church in the city.
"And what if there are women among them?"
"If you were an ordinary woman, you would have stayed at home with your children, and most of the people who were still on the streets at such times were the Combine. Speaking of the fact that he had never seen a woman on the street since he entered the city, Bing Tong even considered this.
"Okay, then I'll give the order now. β
"I'm sorry for you, then we'll take our leave first, and we'll come back to you if there's something wrong. β
"Waiting for you at any time. β
Fei'er left the mayor's office with Ice Hitomi, and when he left, he had already informed his subordinates to gather the people in the city, and if the Combine didn't want to reveal their identities, they would definitely go to the church, but before that, I'm afraid the news had been sent out.
"Sister Bingtong, where are you going now?"
"Wait a minute. Ice Hitomi suddenly stopped, raised her head to look at the sun in the sky, she seemed to be counting the time, and then said: "Let's go to the canyon first, we shouldn't be spotted from here, the combine's attention is on the forest and the road." β
I don't know how long it took to get from the city to the canyon, it's really barren and humid, no wonder it gets foggy in the morning, such a geographical environment is inevitable, but it's the fog here that makes the upcoming battle interesting.
"It's finally here. Fei'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and sure enough, the vampire still didn't like the harsh sunlight.
Bing Tong looked up at the sun again, and Fei'er asked suspiciously: "Sister Bing Tong, you have been looking at the sun since just now, what is so beautiful about that kind of dazzling guy?"
"Fei'er, we've been here for about forty-five minutes. β
Fei'er knew that Bing Tong was looking at the sun to estimate the time, but no matter how she looked at the sun, it was not much different from not moving at all: "Sister Bing Tong, can you see that the sun has moved so far?"
At this time, Ice Hitomi put the hand that had been hidden behind her in front of Fei'er, and there was an ice cube on her palm, and the other parts had melted into water and flowed down.
"It's time to calculate the distance the sun has moved a little, and the area and speed at which the ice melts during the season, which is what we learned in the Holy Blue Banner and I didn't expect to be used in this war. β
Fei'er couldn't help but have a hint of admiration for Bing Tong, such an accurate calculation could be obtained, and sure enough, she was the instructor of Linglan Academy.
"The march of the team should be a little faster than that, and if we save 30 percent of the time, we should be able to get here in 30 minutes, hopefully in time. β
"Sister Ice Pupil is planning to ambush the Combine here?"
"No, it's not me, it's Yuexing, the canyon here can only be seen from the air, even if it will fog in the early morning, I believe that with Yuexing's ability, you can distinguish the enemy's location. β
