Chapter 603: Troll's Murder Challenge
Due to the unexpected defeat in the raid on the Orc Forward Base of Timac the night before, Susan and Karn's orc alliance took a break in the base camp and did not continue to send troops, Susan decided to send an emissary to the troll camp to deliver a message and try to form an alliance with the trolls against Grote.

After two days of anxious and anxious waiting, the messenger finally returned to the camp, and Susan immediately summoned him to her tent and sent for Rogge, Antonio, and Karn.
When Rogge and Antonio entered the tent side by side, they saw that Karn had arrived, and they nodded to Karn, and then sat down next to Susan, finding her brow bowed, and the gloom on her face was even more heavy than the days of waiting.
"What's wrong?" Rogge exchanged glances with Antonio and asked Susan tentatively, "What did Amus say?"
"This is the letter he asked our people to bring back, look at it. Susan looked distressed and handed the letter written on parchment to Rogge, who looked down and saw that the letter was written in orc script, he looked at Antonio beside him and said, "The captain is not familiar with orc language, so I will read it by the way." ”
Antonio nodded approvingly, and Rogge read aloud:
"To Susan, the patriarch of the Poison Wolf Clan: My troll clan has no grudge against the Poison Wolf tribe, and I have heard a lot about the name of your father Suer. ”
"As you said, we have a grudge against Grote, and we should have assisted in the joint efforts, and after breaking through the Yellow Sand Fortress, we have revenge and revenge, but the day before yesterday, our side suffered heavy casualties, and many of the clansmen have a heart of revenge. ”
"But the alliance must not be abandoned, I have a difficult mystery before me, and if there is someone at your side who can unravel it and convince my people, then it can be put on the agenda. ”
Reading this, Rogge paused, changed the second piece of brown paper to the front, and continued to read: "A few days ago, the wife of a thousand-commander in my clan died mysteriously at home, her husband led the army outside, there was only a son and a daughter in the family, the deceased was stabbed seven times in the neck, and there were a lot of blood stains in the tent. ”
"I interrogated the people around me after the incident, no one had ever seen anyone enter or leave the deceased's house, the two children were not at home at the time, the corpse was holding a sharp knife in her hand, the blade was embedded in the wound, the knife belonged to the deceased himself, no other murder weapons were found, and no traces left by the murderer were found. ”
"We don't have a clue about this now, the husband of the deceased has been recalled to the base camp and desperate to find the whereabouts of the murderer, and if you can help him find the murderer of his wife, the impact in the army is self-evident. ”
"If you are willing to solve this problem, send the right people to me, and I will assist him as best I can, after all, I am more than willing to do it to form an alliance with you to kill Grote, and wait for your news, Patriarch Susan. The troll Grand Chief Amus. ”
"A homicide case where the murderer can't be found," Rogge put down the two letters in his hand and looked up at the three of them and smiled, "Looks like I have to go on a run, if we are lucky enough to find the murderer, we can have a strong alliance." ”
"Are you sure?" said Susan, looking at him uneasily, "from what is written in the letter, it feels like there is no clue at all. ”
"No, judging by the contents of the letter, we already have a general direction. Rogge took out a cigar from his tobacco bag and lit it as he said, "The crime took place in the troll camp, the deceased was the wife of the commander, and the case alarmed the Great Chief." ”
"These three clues illustrate a problem, the place where the deceased lived must be the chief's camp, we know that the tribes in the wasteland have a clear hierarchy, and the lowly will never dare or can enter the heavily guarded chief's camp, so we can rule out the possibility of theft and murder. ”
"The fact that the murder was not noticed at the time of the murder indicates that the deceased did not engage in a fierce fight with the murderer and did not scream, which means that the deceased may have been familiar with the murderer. ”
"The knife that killed the deceased belonged to the deceased himself, and there were no other murder weapons at the scene, so it can be seen that the murderer was not premeditated murder, perhaps the two had an argument while talking to the deceased, and the murderer killed someone with the deceased's knife in a fit of rage. ”
Speaking of this, Rogge paused and said thoughtfully: "The husband who contacted the deceased led the army to go out for a long time and did not return, the female chastity concept of the troll clan is weak, and the possibility of love killing is very high, of course, this can only be confirmed after a detailed investigation is done on the scene." ”
"So, we can now be sure that the killer must have been someone the deceased knew, perhaps living near her, and we only need to go to investigate and find some clues, and we can trace him down. ”
Rogge stood up and said to the three of them: "In this way, this case is not too complicated, the scope has been reduced to a small one, I think it is best for me to go now, the commander of the regiment will stay here to rest the troops, and I will take Catherine with me to meet Amus." ”
After listening to Rogge's words, Susan's heart was in the air, and she ordered the messenger to accompany Rogge and Catherine on their journey to the troll camp to meet the troll chief Amus.
Rog and Catherine, along with the owl Lilith and the flower spirit Monica, followed the messenger out of the base camp on a wolf ride, and the little furball had recovered and become full of vitality after two days of rest.
As he walked, the backs of two humans suddenly appeared in front of him, and Rog stopped the wolf running wildly, and looked at the two people curiously with Catherine and the orc messenger.
One of them was tall and slender, with a deer-hunting hat with a brim on the front and back, a short brown cloak, and a man beside him wearing a military uniform of red and black, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a small leather suitcase in his hand.
Seeing their dress, Rog exchanged glances with Catherine and the messenger, and the wolf approached them, and the two men walking in front of them turned their heads when they heard the footsteps, and the tall man looked at the three of them with a sharp gaze, and a meaningful smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.
He turned to Rogge, who had stopped the wolf, and waved his hand and said loudly, "I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. 'Lone Wolf' Rogge." ”
