This, one soldier muttered: "With the strength of one of our divisions, to attack the fortress of the Solan rebels is simply to send us to death!" ”

"That's it, that's it, our young division commander has a good appearance, like a gentle gentleman, but he does things like a reckless country man!"

"Vanity fellow! Listen to him afraid of his wife! Can't hold your head up at home! ”

"Hey! Louder! Are you tired of living? That's the Prime Minister's son! ”

William heard the soldiers mutter:

"Hey! If you grumbling soldiers hear half a bad word about you and me again, you will be assigned to the baggage camp to drive the mules!" ”

Alexandra said: "Big star, don't blame people for complaining, now that we are alone, the troops will inevitably be dissatisfied, and they will think that you are taking the lives of the soldiers seriously in order to grab meritorious deeds." ”

"Hey! These idiots! I can't do it without a word! William sighed, took out the miniature letter in his hand, and handed it to the officers to circulate:

"This is a carrier pigeon just delivered, fresh, read it for yourselves."

Carl took it and scolded: "Fuck, whoever wants this letter is not new, Lao Tzu is in a hurry!" It's still fucking stained with hot bird droppings! ”

Amid laughter, the senior officers finished circulating the letter;

"I see, the main force of our northern army, the three armies of Duke Mayer Onassis, have defeated the fortress fortifications along the way, and have come closer to us, with such troops, we really have to fight."

William said: "My plan is to make the most of the time to wait for the large army, do some preliminary preparations, and take advantage of the local hatred of the voodoo church and the rebels, and attack the fortress from inside and outside. ”

The white-bearded old man who was the guide interjected: "Hehe, you brought me here to find the right person, I know that there is a town nearby, and the residents in it hate the rebels to the core. ”

Karl scolded: ", stinky old man, your information is always inaccurate!"

Yesterday you had a village that you could trust, but as soon as our scouts approached, they were ambushed by the militia, and three of them were seriously wounded! Only later did I learn that the village was full of voodoo cultists!

You haven't drunk less wine, smoked less cigarettes, and you know how to brag, so you haven't done a good thing! ”

The old man scolded: "Phew! You Humpty Dumpty, you can't do it once, and you can't do it again and again? And you guy...... Who stinks old man? A gentleman wouldn't be so uneducated! ”

"Hey, come on! I've never been a gentleman, you old man can smoke people when you take off your shoes, you dare not stink? ”

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel, I have a headache when I hear it!" William persuaded:

"I believe in the information of Old Man Blackwood, but the situation has changed, and we need to investigate, this time I have to send two spies to make an unannounced visit to confirm the political tendencies of the townspeople, and then take action after assessing."

"Makes sense, what do you think...... Who should I send? ”

"Of course there's got to be Old Man Blackwood, he's a local, and with me, that's it."

"Huh? Are you crazy? William, you're the division! ”

"Don't worry, among our people, my Solan is the best, if I take off my military uniform, the locals won't be able to see that I'm a foreign rout."

That night, William Einfurt disguised himself as a young woodcutter chopping wood, dressed in a black cloak, and drove a broken wagon bought from nearby with the old man to the target town.

As a result of the prolonged fighting, the town had been sealed off, and a group of militiamen with guns stood guard on the wooden towers, one of whom was the most well-equipped with a red woman on his arm, apparently the militia leader.

"Stop! Routine check-in! Who are you? ”

"Cub, Henkel! Take a closer look, don't you know Lao Tzu and me? ”

The militia captain approached, recognized the old man, and laughed:

"Oh, isn't this Old Man Blackwood, why, come to our town to sell salted fish again? Who's this handsome guy next to you? ”

"This guy who drove the car was a woodcutter I hired, this time we won't sell salted fish, see this cart full of wood? Now that all villages and towns are stockpiling supplies for the winter, I am ready to take this opportunity to make a fortune! ”

"Hehe, old man, you are so strong! The town was destroyed and did not lose its will, admire! ”

The militia captain gave the old man a thumbs up, and without looking much at William's face, he shouted to the janitor:

"Brothers, put down their guns, it's old Blackwood and his hired laborers from the neighboring town, let them in!"

In this way, the two easily blended into the town,

William praised: "Old man, you really have you, your face is not red and your heart is not beating when you lie." ”

The old man was not modest, and he was complacent: "Hey, young man, learn a little, and do business with this mouth!" ”

With just a few glances, William could see that the town was very densely populated.

There are a lot of clothes hanging on the bamboo poles sticking out of the beams of the house, and judging from the degree of shabby clothes, the quality of life of the locals is the level to which they can live.

The blacksmith workshops along the street are busy,

The smuggled blacksmith was carrying the hammer with his apprentice, and the master and apprentice sweated like rain, and took out the red-hot horseshoe with their pliers, and cooled it in the water, making a sizzling sound.

The grain stalls were filled with hardy grains, and it seemed that the refined flour had long been looted by the rebels, and the people had to eat some indigestible coarse grains to survive.

The hottest spot is the weapons stand, which is filled with customers, and on wooden shelves are some flintlock pistols made by local artisans, which look like they are in good hands, the barrels are polished, and the prices are very high.

In the current chaotic situation, firearms and ammunition have become the most sought-after hard currency, followed by cold weapons such as swords and spears.

The regent only nominally controls the country, but in fact the anarchy has lasted for a long time, and there is no one to regulate the legality of guns, coupled with the ongoing warlord conflicts, resulting in a state of proliferation of civilian guns.

Bandits are rampant, rebellious armies burn and loot everywhere, and people must take up arms to be safe

At this point, William had figured out the state of life in the locals, and the people of this town were struggling to survive, at least to survive the winter.

There were a few bearded men who stood out in the crowd, wearing wide-brimmed hats, leather vests, and boots with spurs.

They do not do any labor, but look at the passers-by along the road with a cold and fierce gaze, as if jackals are looking for prey.

They saw the carriage driven by William, and noticed the new face, and one of them put his hand on the handle of the pistol, making a gesture of deterrence and defiance.
