Section 17: The conspiracy is underway

First of all, if you don't pay it, it will obviously not work, then it will expose the existence of Fang Qingshu and others. Under the current circumstances, Fang Qingshu was not willing to clash head-on with Cthun. His original plan was to surround the city from the countryside. First control the kobold stronghold, then have room to move, and then slowly deplete with Cthun, fighting guerrilla warfare.

Now that Fang Qingshu and they have controlled such a place, if Cthun brings someone to kill them, there will be no room for maneuver at all, once they are discovered, they can only work hard, in that case, even if they win, they will be killed**, it will definitely not be cost-effective.

But there is also a risk in handing over these things, after all, Fang Qingshu and their foundation is still shallow, he doesn't dare to guarantee that all kobolds will be loyal to him, in case a kobold who delivers something screams loudly to the demon, it will be all over.

Fortunately, the settlements they occupied were all far away from Cthun's lair, so they didn't need to send things all the way over by themselves, they just handed them over to the settlements close to the castle, and they could send them directly to the castle, or use them on the spot. In this way, Fang Qingshu and they only need to be careful, and the problem is not very big.

After some careful consideration, Fang Qingshu handed over this matter to Jiang Ruoqin to deal with, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.

In other words, Comrade Edward also encountered the same trouble as Fang Qingshu, and he was naturally not stupid enough to immediately start a war with Cthun for this little thing. So he also wisely chose to confess. However, Edward, the poor boy, far underestimated the insidiousness of some comrades.

When Edward carefully selected dozens of kobolds to deliver things to nearby settlements, one of the kobolds suddenly screamed like crazy: "They are traitors, they are traitors~oh!" The guy just screamed twice before he was knocked to the ground with a wooden stick by his partner behind him.

Unfortunately, it was too late, because there were important supplies to be delivered, so the demon in charge of the affairs of this settlement was also present, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. How could this obviously murderous trick deceive him?

"What's going on?" the demon angrily shouted at the kobolds who killed the people, "Why did you kill people?"

"My lord, he's crazy~" A kobold man said boldly.

"Fart, I think you're crazy!" The demon reached out and grabbed the kobold in front of him, and then sneered, "Let me see what you have in your head?"

As he spoke, the demon's eyes suddenly emitted a red light that shot straight into the kobold's eyes. This is an evil spell that the devil uses to read memories, and whether it succeeds or fails, this kobold is sure to turn into an idiot in great pain.

The pain of forcibly reading his memories made the kobold struggle constantly, but unfortunately his weak strength could not be compared to the demon at all, and soon his body stopped shaking.

Through his eyes, the demon saw the scene of his companion being killed by a group of strange people, and he understood everything that followed. The demon was furious by the tragic death of his comrade, and he then slammed the kobold to the ground, and the kobold's thin body was almost instantly turned into meat sauce, and was torn apart by the huge force.

But the demon was still angry, he pointed to the remaining kobolds, and roared, "You bastards, you bastards, dare to betray us, hang them all up and skin them for me!"

"Roar!" the demons' lackeys immediately screamed and rushed forward, arresting all the kobolds who were helpless.

Later, the demon also sensed that something was important, and simply cast a spell to summon a bat with his own blood, and told it to go back and report to Cthun.

Everything that happened here was faithfully transmitted to Edward by the bugging device and pocket camera carried by the kobold, and he was surrounded by Kuchen, Nochran, Sora Aoi, and others.

"**!" Edward was so angry that he burst into foul language on the spot, and said angrily: "Who picked that damn dog offal? How can it be so irresponsible?" The dozens of kobolds who delivered this time were selected by four teams from among the kobolds under their control, and they all demanded absolute loyalty, but this happened. Apparently Edward is now going to be held accountable.

But Nokland's faint words directly made Edward turn into a wilted eggplant, "It seems that it was someone recommended by your legion!"

"Oh~!" Edward was suddenly choked and his old face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Well, now is not the time for us to hold accountable. Sora Aoi relieved Edward at this time and said, "Let's think about what to do next!" Since Cthun knows about our existence, and also knows that we killed his people and occupied his place, I am afraid that we will soon send a large army to suppress the border. ”

"Yes, it's important to think about how to get through the problem at hand!" said Nockland.

Edward first glanced at Sora Aoi gratefully, and then said solemnly: "There is no way, I can only retreat temporarily." ”

"What about the places we occupy, and what about the kobolds?" said Sora Aoi worriedly.

"We can still take the territory back later, as for the kobolds, alas, they can only ask for their own blessings!" Edward said helplessly, "Our current strength is not enough to compete head-on with Cthun's legion." ”

"But if we abandon the kobolds this time, they will definitely be retaliated by Cthun's men, and I'm afraid that even if we win in the future, these kobolds will no longer have a good face for us!" Nokran said with a frown.

"There's no way around it, we can't put our lives on the line to protect the kobolds, right?" said Edward helplessly.

"Is there no other way?" asked Sora Aoi.

"Other way?" Edward frowned and said with a wry smile: "Maybe after finding Fang Qingshu, he can come up with it, but I can't think of it!"

"This damn Fang Qingshu, where are they hiding?" Aoi Sora scolded hatefully: "I jumped out when I robbed people, but when I needed their help, I couldn't find anything, what a bastard!"

"Anyway, we're going to get in touch with them as soon as possible. With them, it will be much easier for us to deal with demonic attacks. Edward then asked Sora Aoi, "Now is not the time to be vindictive, have you really found all the places to meet him?"

"Of course, I'm not stupid, how can I still be vindictive at this time?" Aoi said dissatisfiedly: "My people have found all the kobold settlements within a radius of 200 miles there, and there is nothing abnormal!

What Aoi Sora didn't know was that the settlement that Fang Qingshu chose to do was four or five hundred miles away from the place where they met.

"Impossible!" Edward immediately retorted: "Fang Qingshu inherited the battle soul of Kong Ming, such a master will not teach a stupid apprentice, in fact, Fang Qingshu's shrewdness and ability, we all know, plus the resources in his hands are not worse than ours, I don't believe that he has not occupied a single settlement so far." ”

"Could it be that he, like us, started to occupy from the outermost settlements?" Kuchen, who had not spoken, suddenly reminded.

"Reasonable!" Edward's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "It must be like this." Miss Sora Aoi, your ninja is fast and good at stealth, can you send two people and let them look for the traces of Fang Qingshu and the others along the periphery?"

"Yes. Sora Aoi nodded and agreed: "But, even if I find it, I'm afraid that Fang Qingshu, a deceitful guy, won't come to help us easily." ”

"Haha!" Edward laughed and said, "Don't worry, the more he cheats, the more he will come to help us!"

"Huh?" Sora Aoi looked puzzled.

Nokran then smiled and explained, "If he doesn't come, then we'll go find them!" I don't think Mr. Fang wants us to bring Cthun's army over. ”

"Ha, I understand!" Aoi Sora suddenly realized: "If Fang Qingshu doesn't know each other, we will take the demon legion to his territory to toss, so that he will not be at peace!"

"Haha!" the four then laughed together.

Then, Edward said solemnly: "However, this is only the worst plan, not to mention that Fang Qingshu has not been found yet, even if he finds it, maybe he still has some tricks to deal with us, so, as a last resort, we still don't want to provoke him easily, and now we can only rely on ourselves." ”

"Yes!" everyone nodded.

"Well, the most important thing for us now is to install pocket cameras on the main roads leading to Cthun Castle right away, and in short, we must find out in advance what kind of gifts Cthun has given us. Then make plans!" commanded Edward.

"Well, if Cthun sends fewer people, then we can handle it ourselves!" said Sora Aoi, nodding.

"It's a pity, it's not a big deal!" said Edward helplessly. The rest of the people also had sad faces, and then everyone gave a few words of encouragement, and then dispersed to prepare for the battle.

But, no matter whether it was a demon or Edward, no one could see anything wrong with this seemingly normal incident. For example, the golden light that flies out of the head of a renegade kobold after his death.

That's right, that is Fang Qingshu's Golden Silkworm Gu. In fact, since Fang Qingshu knew the specific location of Edward and the others, he had already planned to yin these guys, but he never had a chance. And this time, it was a good time to make an offering to Cthun, and Fang Qingshu naturally refused to let it go.
