Chapter 181: The Spy
"Tianyou, what's wrong?" Zheng Long and Liuli asked curiously when they saw Tianyou stunned in place.
"Well, it's fine. Let's go!" Tianyou hurriedly shook his head, and walked in with Huang Cheng.
"Guys, I'm really embarrassed just now. Huang Cheng scratched his head a little embarrassed as he walked. The change of attitude before and after made Tianyou and others secretly stutter.
"Brother Huang Cheng, it doesn't have to be like this. But I'm more curious, how could you be so cautious? I shouldn't have been like this before, right?" Zheng Long looked at Huang Cheng's apologetic gaze, and his previous dissatisfaction had disappeared, and asked rhetorically.
"Well, I'm telling you later, let's arrange a place for you to live now. Huang Cheng glanced at the people in the ace camp behind Zheng Long and the others, and said in a low voice.
Obviously, he didn't want others to know about this matter, and being so vigilant made Tianyou and the others even more aware of the extraordinary nature of the matter, and they all nodded in agreement.
Soon, under the leadership of Huang Cheng, everyone came to the edge of a small city. The area of the city is not large, there are no four city gates, only the south city gate and the north city gate, the south city gate leads to the beast domain, and the north city gate leads to the imperial snake fortress.
Moreover, this city does not even have a moat, and the city wall is only nearly 100 meters. In any empire, it can only be regarded as a third- or fourth-tier city.
Seeing the city, Liuli was also a little surprised and said: "I always thought that the large army lived on the plain, but I didn't expect that there would be a small city. ”
"Ruri-sama, that's for sure. We fought against the Beast Domain, and if we didn't have the city to rely on, we couldn't afford to suffer heavy casualties. This city has existed for a long time, and it has been rebuilt fifty or sixty times from time to now, and sometimes the entire city is razed to the ground in a large-scale battle, after all, this is not the Imperial Serpent Fortress, and the city is not as impregnable as the Imperial Serpent Fortress. I remember the last time it was rebuilt more than 30 years ago, and it only took a few years to build the city. ”
Huang Cheng smiled slightly and explained.
Tianyou and the others were not surprised by this, it seemed impossible to build a city in a few years, but what if it was just to build a city wall? This city originally existed to resist the invasion of the beasts, and there must be no large-scale construction in it.
And when they approached the city, they found that Huang Cheng said that there was a lot of tofu in the tofu slag project.
In general, the bricks are measured in tens of centimeters. But the smallest bricks of the city were several meters long and wide. The big ones are even close to ten meters long and wide. That's simply a stacked project, what is such a city if it's not tofu scum?
It is estimated that the establishment of this city was directly stacked by the empire with giant stone bricks. However, it is also relieved to think that this can only be regarded as a small combat point on the front line of the Empire, and it may be abandoned at any time. How could such a city empire spend too much money and material resources?
The entire city covers an area of about 10,000 square meters. Entering the city also confirmed everyone's previous conjectures. There were really no buildings in the city, and most of the soldiers lived in tents.
Although the city is not large, there are more than 10,000 soldiers of a division stationed here, so there is still a lot of open space.
"Eh, are there other ace battalions coming?" At this moment, a middle-aged man with a bearded face walked out of a tent.
When the big man walked out of the tent, Tianyou's heart tightened slightly. Some looked at the big man in amazement.
That big man was a fifty-first level Soul Sect, but the aura emanating from his body made Tianyou feel a little unusual, as if it was not a person, but a corpse.
"Camp Commander Taitian?" Liuli and Zheng Long glanced at each other, and then smiled. Apparently extremely familiar with the person in front of him.
"I'm no longer a battalion commander, and I still have something to talk about with the division commander. You are at your own convenience, and I will go to you to catch up with you when I have time in the future. Taitian laughed at himself, and immediately ignored Liuli and the others, turned around and walked towards the camp.
Tianyou also retracted his mind when he saw it, but there was an uneasiness in his heart.
Huang Cheng ordered people to prepare tents for all the ace soldiers. As Soul Sect and Martial Commander, the treatment of these ace soldiers is extremely high. Ordinary soldiers are more than ten people in a tent, while the ace army is two people in a tent.
Zheng Long and Liuli, as the battalion commanders, have a big camp tent for one of them. You know, even Huang Cheng, who is the captain, doesn't have a ** camp.
This shows the status of the ace army in the empire. In fact, in the empire, the status of the ace legionnaire itself is comparable to that of the battalion commander of an ordinary soldier, and the status of the commander of the ace battalion is comparable to the commander of an ordinary division who commands 10,000 soldiers.
At this time, Liuli, Tianyou and other core personnel gathered in Liuli's tent, and Huang Cheng also sat aside.
"I didn't expect the battalion commander Taitian to come too. So there are three ace camps coming this time?" Zheng Long was the first to speak.
Na Taitian was the commander of the ace military camp like them, and was directly under the control of the Third Legion. Zheng Long and Liuli naturally know each other.
Huang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, only you two ace battalions came this time! Lord Taitian was the ace battalion stationed here last year, but half a month ago, all the hundred brothers in their battalion were killed, and only he was left alive.
Later, he refused to allow the Empire to return to the fortress and insisted on staying. It is estimated that he wants to avenge his brothers, so he is no longer the commander of the ace battalion. Now he is the deputy division commander of our division. ”
"What, all the 100 ace soldiers were killed?" Liuli and Zheng Long stood up in some shock, and there was only horror and disbelief in their eyes.
You must know that except for the first ace legion, which is strong and weak because of the different cavalry, the quality of the strong people of the Soul Sect of other legions or battalions is almost the same!
And now, Huang Cheng told them that all the ace battalions of Taitian were killed. How can this not be alarmed?
Huang Cheng nodded and said, "That's why we just checked that all the big people are so strict. That time, Tai Tian led his men to attack an orc battalion. At that time, I was sure of victory, but I didn't expect that the other party would ambush several other orc battalions there, and as soon as I got close, I was attacked and the whole army was annihilated......"
"Spies!" Zheng Long and the others glanced at each other and said in unison. There is only one possibility that the orc battalion can grasp their movements so accurately.
Huang Cheng smiled bitterly: "We also suspect that there are spies. But at that time we did not keep this matter a secret from ordinary soldiers. Most of the soldiers knew that Lord Tai Tian was going to lead his men to attack the orc camp, so we don't know who this spy is. ”
Hearing what Huang Cheng said, everyone also nodded approvingly
