Chapter 168: The Captain's Watch
In addition to the player troops, Lin Tian also set up a city guard in Blackwater City, which was freely joined by vetted residents, and most of them were local natives.
The city guard troops are commanded by the captain and Wei Ya.
At this time, most of the strength of the city guard force had been taken out of the city by the captain and rushed to the direction of the central battlefield.
Wei Ya continued to sit in Blackwater City, maintaining order with the remaining city guards and managing the daily life in the city.
"Lin Tian, this kid, asked me to come out with thousands of people, and I don't know what I'm going to do."
In a dense forest valley, the captain sat alone in the camp tent and muttered to himself. The city guards were stationed here in camps and kept on guard.
Long before the start of the war, Lin Tian asked Han Wen to ask him to take some of his men out of the city, saying that he was ready to meet the surprise and wait for the enemy to deliver food.
However, after waiting for a long time, the bird poop pulled the roof of the tent, but there was not a single person to be seen, and the captain was worried about it.
"Report, there is a situation."
"Don't worry, just say it."
The captain said in a soothing tone.
"A few hundred meters away, I found a group of displaced people."
"Outcasts? No need to ......"
The captain just wanted to say that he didn't care about this group of homeless people, but after thinking about it, what are the homeless people doing here in this wilderness?
Previously, they had killed several ferocious mutant beasts before they could take this piece of territory that could be used as a temporary camp.
"Take me to see it."
The captain immediately got up and followed the city guard out of the camp.
When they stepped out, they saw that the group of homeless people had already approached a lot, and they had also noticed the terrifying number of city guards in this place.
I saw that the first reaction of this group of homeless people when they saw people was not to come to ask for help, but to turn around and run.
"If you are tired, send someone to catch them up and arrest them for interrogation."
The captain is serious.
"Yes."
The captain came out, the original intention was to see what this group of homeless people thought, if they could, they would be recruited and let them join Blackwater City to rely on labor to eat, which is not bad.
But this group of people are wandering in the wilderness, and they have eaten a meal without a meal, and the major forces do not want this kind of wanderer to enter the city, and they can't even find a place to beg.
As for smuggling? I don't have the money to smuggle into the city, and if I have the ability and money, I won't be reduced to wandering in the wilderness.
Soon, the suspicious homeless people were arrested.
When you meet a mouth, that's -
"Don't kill me, I surrender."
"I surrender too!"
The remaining few people were silent, but they did not make any resistance and were very cooperative.
"Where are you from?"
At the beginning, the homeless who roared the fastest and loudest told the story, and sure enough, they were deserters who ran out of the battlefield in Luolu City.
In order not to be seen, he disguised himself as a homeless person and fled in all directions.
The Green Forest Army has the most power in the vicinity, but it also has the most enemies, after all, it is impossible for other people's population and land to give you away for nothing, so you can only rely on grabbing.
"Where is your army now?"
The captain continued to ask, if he could know the main force of this deserter, then this time it would be a surprise as Lin Tian said.
Unexpectedly, the group of deserters shook their heads one after another, saying that they did not know.
Even, under the captain's feigned coercion, he was about to cry.
"Sir, I really don't know where the main force is! We ran around in the first place, because we were afraid of being chased and killed, so we deliberately fled to this kind of place. ”
"Yes, sir, it's not that we really don't want to talk about it, we just really don't know!"
Seeing that the group of captives did not look like camouflage, the captain still did not continue to press.
What's more, what they say also has some truth.
In this kind of wilderness, if you can't run for a long time, you can run for one day, but what about the next day?
There are beast poison barriers everywhere, and there is no one.
The further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes, and you may even encounter the King of Beasts in a certain area.
Moreover, there is no turning back at all.
Walking halfway, there is no supply, you can only go one way to the dark, if there is no resource to replenish in front, then, whether you go forward or backward, you are doomed to death.
"Take them down, after searching them, just take them under centralized custody, and when the operation is over, take them back to Blackwater City."
After saying that, the captain didn't pay any more attention to the group of prisoners, but walked straight to the side.
Suddenly, his expression moved.
In the field of vision, a large group of homeless people appeared, or rather, they should be of the same nature as this group of captives.
At a cursory glance, there are quite a few people, and according to conservative estimates, there are hundreds of people.
"Eat small shrimp first, then eat big fish."
The captain called in his men and prepared the guards for battle.
This time there were more enemies, and the captain had already seen the reflection of many weapons.
"I should be able to know more information this time."
A force of several hundred people will definitely not be the same as before, and there must be enough people to serve as the backbone and maintain the stability of the entire group.
Otherwise, the dragons were leaderless, and they couldn't go far with a group of rabble, and they scattered separately, and the result was the same as the previous captives.
The captain was on higher ground here, near the mountainside, and the enemy was walking all below the valley.
In the wilderness, no one thinks about what ambush is not ambush at all.
You said that they all chose to be deserters, and there are still people who deliberately ambush them and run away in the wilderness, how much damage should this be?
Yes, Lin Tian is so damaged.
All other directions have to pass through Luo Lu's original territory, and those places are either occupied by the enemy or their own areas, so there is no need to worry about the enemy running to these places.
And Lin Tian called the captain here, precisely to let him lead the city guards to block this only natural pass that could leak people out.
Therefore, when there was a gunshot on the mountainside, the hundreds of deserters were buzzing in their brains and did not react at all.
Among these hundreds of people, there are not many with weapons.
Before, it was a one-man hand, but after running so far, the bullets should have been finished, or they were too heavy to get in the way and were lost, and they abounded.
In the end, there were still people with dozens of fellow villagers who seized power on the spot, and only then did they barely unite these hundreds of people.
Of course, there is no way to get back a lost weapon, and there is one less bullet to use, and it will be gone when it flies out.
"Brother Fei, there is an ambush here, what should I do?"
Li Wenfei, the current speaker of these hundreds of people, is the one who led dozens of people to seize power and lead the team before.
"Don't waste bullets, tell the brothers to hide under the cliff and observe the enemy."
From the continuous sound of gunfire, it can be heard that the enemy on the mountainside has sufficient firepower and many men, and it is not their ability to match.
For now, the only way to escape from here is to go any further.
The situation ahead is unknown, and with such a powerful force encountered here alone, who knows if there will be more ambushes in the back?
encountered a surprise attack, but Li Wenfei, who was a veteran of the Green Forest Army before, was extremely calm in his thinking.
