Chapter 221: Encirclement and Suppression Operation (II)
In recent days, the entire city of Oro has entered a state of strict entry and exit.
With the cooperation of Harry and Joseph, all citizens entering the city of Oro were strictly controlled, especially those who carried weapons or entered the city in large numbers...... For a while, the people complained a lot about themselves, but Sean did not intend to let his guard down, and even secretly spread the news that this was to prevent the rebels from reappearing.
By the way, he also demonized the revolutionary army, treating them as barbarians wherever they went.
Sean didn't expect that one day he would control the mainstream voice of the entire city to speak, and then blur out the public's sight.
Not to mention, this is a really good solution.
As long as the hatred is transferred, the favorability will rise again in an instant.
On weekdays, you can see by looking at the color of the people walking on the sand table, at least in most people's hearts, their attitude towards themselves is still very [respectful].
However, no trace of the rebels was found for several days, and the map on the sand table never appeared with red punctuation...... Even the appearance of some pink ones made Joseph and the four-member team of mercenaries investigate.
It is determined that only the people who complain will be let go, and if the identity is not clear, they will be arrested and interrogated.
But even in such a city of hundreds of thousands of people, it is impossible to reach all of them, and there will still be many people who have escaped strict scrutiny in the streets and alleys of Oro City and even in the small towns around the city.
Sean noticed this through the sandbox......
It started out yesterday afternoon, maybe a little later.
Because the view at night is not good, even on the sand table will automatically enter the night environment, and the streets will become dark, and pedestrians who represent goodwill will not appear in the shadows.
Yesterday evening, Sean noticed two or three small red dots that were a little darker than pink moving around the northern part of the city...... To the north, Oro City can be directly connected to large cities such as Rietis, so mercenaries or caravans from the north will choose to live here, so that the population in the north is large and very chaotic.
However, these red dots were obvious, so Sean paid special attention to them, they didn't stay in the city for long, they probably left the city before nightfall, and they didn't even rest in the city.
Sean summoned Barnier and the other four to the Earl's Court.
"Have any large mercenary groups come to the city recently?" looked at the sand table and asked Sean to a few people.
Now these four people can be regarded as their subordinates...... Even if it's not a direct one, at least he gets paid for himself.,So as long as the tasks given to them are given, the four will be given priority.。
Some time ago, it was said that the rebels might attack Oro City, so all four of them joined the team to secretly investigate the news of the rebels......
"Not yet. ”
"We've been paying close attention to the situation of the Mercenary Guild for the past few days, but recently it's been a regular mercenary team, and there are no rebel members among them. Barnier said.
The four have their own methods for determining whether the mercenaries are rebels or not.
"That's good, since the mercenaries don't have one. Will there be one on the caravan?" Sean asked again.
"The caravan doesn't seem to have changed much lately, it's been normal. However, when they heard that there was going to be a war in the north, many merchants began to buy supplies at high prices. ”
Barnier's words also reminded Sean that once the war in the north starts, prices may start to rise wildly, and it is necessary to prepare supplies in advance.
But then again, if there are no suspicious people in the mercenary group and the caravan, then who are those people who saw yesterday with the [hatred] level and above...... Because several generals around him were no longer in the evening, Sean didn't have time to let people keep an eye on them, and the time for their activities was very short.
Get in the city quickly, get out of the city quickly.
"Lord Sean. ”
As she was thinking, Latina, who was in front of her, suddenly stopped herself.
"What's wrong? Latina. ”
The girl in front of her is a rare fan sister of herself, no matter what task she asks the four-person team to do, she always pays too much attention to the relevant situation.
"There is no situation with mercenary groups and caravans, but I have noticed that there have been a lot of immigrants lately...... They are just outside the city in the northern area, and I heard the local residents say that the people who have returned from exile in Tacoma City in the south have already passed a few people, and if there is a war in the north, the displaced people can no longer be taken in. Latina said.
Refugee!
Sean suddenly looked at Latina in front of him.
"That's right, it's the outcasts. ”
"Huh?"
"Go, bring me a map of the area around Oro City......" instructed the servants beside him.
The four of Barnier looked at each other curiously, then followed Sean's steps to the desk.
"The Earl thinks there is something wrong with the homeless?"
"I don't think so, it's definitely a problem! The Borg people are already in action, and I guess they can't sit still...... Go and call Aslan and Joseph back, and we're going to do it before they react!"
..............................
At this moment, somewhere in the town outside the northern part of Oro City, a certain room that originally belonged to the Traveler's Tavern was crowded with a dozen people.
To outsiders, they looked like a group of travelers or merchants, and in any case they all came one after the other, but they never entered the city......
Squeak~
The door was gently opened......
Sticking his head out, a man in a gray coat stood outside.
After entering, he cautiously glanced at the situation outside the corridor before closing the door.
"How's it going?"
A crowd gathered around......
The person under the gray robe shook his head, drank all the tea on the table, and choked his throat before speaking slowly.
"No, the city is still very tightly guarded, and we can't enter at all, and even merchants with slightly more knives will have to be closely vetted before they can be allowed to enter. ”
"What then? Tazmi and Ulysses are still in Count Dog's cell......"
"These goddamn nobles should have died a long time ago! I don't know what shit luck I went to escape. The other said indignantly.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, I have already heard that there is a dungeon in Count Vigel's house, and several of them are likely to be kept in the dungeon, and we must try to get into the Earl's Court if we want to rescue them. The gray-robed man said.
"Isn't that the same as fighting the Earl's Court again? Now that the Earl's Court is so heavily guarded, how can it be possible to enter...... What's even more hateful is that the dog count has kept the whole city under strict control, and we don't have a chance to infiltrate the city in large numbers. Someone in the crowd sighed.
"There's no need to rush this matter, Baimi will eventually be overlooked, we just need to divide the team into several groups and enter the city little by little. It's just that the time is not yet ripe. ”
"Immaturity!!!When will it be? In a few moments our people will be dead in prison. ”
The gray-robed man sighed.
"Don't be in such a hurry, they won't last long. I've heard rumors that the war in the north has begun, and the Borgs are invincible, and it may not be long before the incompetent king will begin to ask for help from the nobles everywhere...... When the time comes, it will be our opportunity to send troops or supplies to Oro City. ”
