Section 478 Catherine's barracks
readx;
Since the old evil did not intend to pay for it himself, but he could not use open and honest means to obtain the necessary supplies for the army from those diehard subordinates of the three princes, what else could he do? That's right, the old evil could only use informal means. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And the so-called informal means, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the old business of the old evil, robbery!
Of course, this time, the old evil didn't plan to rush directly into the warehouse and blatantly loot under the guard of hundreds of elite soldiers, it would be too two hundred and five. His actions, more accurately, are called stealing!
The old evil first asked the old mage, Juliet and Constani, and borrowed their space rings, plus his own, and there were four at once. Then in the middle of the night, he sneaked into the warehouse set up by the military department outside the city, moved a lot, and worked all night, from clothing to weapons, from armor to food, until the four space rings were filled, and only a part of a series of warehouses was loaded.
After all, the amount stored in Yanjing's warehouse is too large, and after all, it is the inventory that is fully needed, and it can equip hundreds of thousands of people. No matter how powerful the old evil is, it can't be empty overnight, of course, this is also related to the capacity of the space ring. The four spatial rings only have a few hundred cubic meters of space, which obviously cannot contain the provisions of a hundred thousand troops. However, this is enough for them to use for a while.
After succeeding, the old evil hurried through the teleportation array and took his things to Catherine's newly built castle.
When the old evil came here, he was surprised to find that he was in a newly built stone house, and the stones on which the house was built still had freshly polished marks. However, although this house is only strong, it is extremely strong, and each stone weighs at least a few hundred pounds, and the old evil estimates that the walls are one or two meters thick, which shows how much Catherine attaches importance to this place.
The old evil suddenly appeared in the teleportation array, and immediately alarmed the guards outside the house. Even though it was late at night, they were still very alert and didn't mean to be lazy at all, so when the light of the magic array activated came out of the room, they immediately noticed it and hurriedly came in with their weapons to check.
Obviously, as the guards guarding the teleportation magic array, they must have two hits. And the two people who walked in were elite soldiers in heavy armor, and there were several people on guard behind them, and they would react immediately whenever there was a situation, and this performance was completely a well-trained posture. The old evil couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart when he saw it.
From the angel badge on the opponent's armor, the old evil saw that these people were all elite warriors given to Catherine by the Holy See. I immediately understood the origin of these people, and I knew why they were so dedicated. Because the warriors that the Holy See gave to Catherine and the old evil were all cathars trained since childhood, they were brainwashed at an early age, and they were devout to the gods to the point of madness, and as warriors they have always been meticulous, it is no wonder that they behave like this. If there is a new group of warriors, at this time when it is about to dawn, they will inevitably be a little lax, and their spirit will be somewhat affected, and they will not be like them at all, preoccupied all night.
When the other party saw the old evil, they all froze for a moment, and then one of the people who seemed to be the squad leader bowed down and said, "May I ask Your Excellency, but Lord Stephen?"
"Yes!" the old evil nodded and said, "Yes, it's me!"
"Ahh
The old evil also understood this, smiled slightly, and then waved his hand and said: "Hehe, get up, you are on duty late at night, you have all worked hard!"
"That's what we should do!" said the chief hurriedly and humbly.
"If you do your job well, you should be praised!" the old evil praised him, and said that the faces of those people were red, obviously they were all proud to be praised by the hero of the old evil.
Then the old evil suddenly said curiously: "By the way, you don't seem to have seen me before, how can you recognize me at a glance?"
"The portrait of you and Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine has been circulated in the Empire of Light, and we have the honor to see it and keep it firmly in our hearts!" the captain then said solemnly, "Although I am of a humble status, I am not worthy of any big words to praise you. But I still want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of our brothers!"
"Thank you!" the other warriors shouted as they bowed.
"You're welcome!" the old evil hurriedly reached out and picked them up.
"No, this is not politeness, it is really our most sincere words!" said the captain with a reverent face, "In the eyes of us warriors, you are the angel sent by the God of Light to save us. If it weren't for your unhesitating action at that time, I'm afraid that most of us would have died in the undead natural disaster!"
"Not bad!" A person next to him also said: "As soldiers, it doesn't matter if we die on the battlefield to defend our home and country." But the point is that we can't rest assured that our families are at ease! If it weren't for you and the 1,000 soldiers who died in battle, we don't know how many of us would have lost their loved ones! So, no matter what we say, we can't express our gratitude to you!"
It was the first time for Lao Xie to be so grateful, and he felt a little uncomfortable. I had to laugh dryly twice and said, "Okay, okay, it's all in the past." If so, thank Catherine and her brothers who died in battle! ”
"Of course, we are all grateful to them!" said the captain hurriedly.
"En!" the old evil nodded, and then hurriedly said, "Where's Catherine?
"Ah!" the captain remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said, "Please come with me, I'll take you there!"
"It's fine!" the old evil nodded in agreement.
"Please go this way!" the captain said and then made way to open the gate, and then explained: "This is the middle of the barracks, the most tightly defended, it can be described as three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, in order to prevent the demon clan from bribing the annihilation to get in, Her Royal Highness the princess has set up a lot of passes. It's your first time here, and if there is no one to lead you, it will be really difficult to move an inch!"
"Hehe, okay, then I'll see!" the old evil smiled and walked out.
Then, led by the captain, the old evil walked along a path to where Catherine lived.
The old evil looked at the place as he walked. Although it was dark at this time, it was at its darkest time before dawn. But for a master like Lao Xie, he can see the surrounding scenery clearly even in the dark.
He found that the place where the teleportation array was located was actually a depression, surrounded by a circle of naturally formed high ground, on which a wooden fence had been set up, and some soldiers were patrolling at this time. In addition to the sergeants on the surface, the old evil was also surprised to find that there were some hidden troops here, all holding strong bows and crossbows, and they were in an ambush posture.
Every time you pass a checkpoint, the other party will use a different password to ask, after the captain answers, the other party will also check the waist card, and even vigilantly ask some words that seem boring, but actually can verify the identity. For example, ask the captain who led the way, who his boss is, and so on, if it is Jianxi pretending, it will really be recognized at once.
Seeing that the protection here was so tight, the old evil couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, so he asked curiously, "Is the defense in the entire camp so tight?"
"Yes!" said the captain hurriedly, "The barracks of 100,000 people are all so nervously guarded. ”
"Why is this happening?" the old evil immediately alerted, "Could it be that something happened to you?"
"Yes!" said the captain, "since we came here, we have been making a lot of noise and camped for a short time, and we have been spied on by unknown people one after another. Dozens of soldiers were missing from the sentry alone. Later, the other party even more arrogantly infiltrated the interior of our barracks, and they even found the princess's handsome tent!
"En?" the old evil suddenly said in surprise: "Are you really so arrogant?"
"At that time, it was indeed so arrogant, but fortunately, when they carried out the assassination, Princess Catherine killed more than a dozen masters in a row, so they became honest. No longer bothering the princess, but focusing on spying on our intelligence. The captain said helplessly: "That's why we have no choice but to make us so nervous."
"But why didn't Catherine tell me?" asked the old wickedly, puzzled.
"I don't know about this, maybe the princess is afraid that you are worried!" said the captain.
"Nonsense!" the old evil immediately frowned, and then asked, "Then do you know the identity of the other party?"
"Not very clear!" the captain shook his head, "Among the assassins killed that time, there were not only humans, but also demons, and even dark elves and orcs, in short, all sorts. We can't find any clues other than knowing that they are strong. These people are obviously very professional killers, and they don't have anything to prove their identity. ”
"How strong are they?" the old evil suddenly asked.
"I don't know!" said the captain, "We got the news that when we rushed into the handsome account to save the princess, all the corpses of those assassins were already on the spot, and almost all of them were cut into several pieces, and they looked miserable!"
"Then how do you know that they are very strong?" said the old evil immediately curiously.
"From their weapons and the muscles on their bodies, we can roughly deduce that the owners of these corpses are at least fifth-level masters, and two of them are even suspected to be masters of the Holy Domain! Otherwise, they would not have quietly infiltrated the garrison of our 100,000-strong army and openly assassinated the princess. The captain then said with admiration: "It can also be seen from this how powerful Princess Catherine is, so many powerful assassins were easily killed by her alone." It's incredible!"
