Chapter 265: The Sleeping Divine Beast (I)
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Zheng Zirui and Sunshine had also gotten up, together with Pippi, Wang Hao, and the four of them were sitting around the table, and when they saw Xiaoba and Xia Yu coming back, Pippi smiled and said, "Is the sunrise beautiful?" In addition to the sunshine not being able to see the expression, Zheng Zirui and Wang Hao looked at the pair with a wicked smile.
Xiaoba and Xia Yu blushed, and sat on both sides with some embarrassment, at this time Zhang Yutong also came in and complained: "Next time, you can do this kind of lack of virtue that disturbs the dating of other people's young couples, don't let the old lady go." ”
Pippi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's a last resort to ask you to come back, because I just received instructions and are about to leave, so I asked you to come back and prepare, by the way, how do we act." ”
After speaking, Pipsqueak took out a map and spread it on the table, this map can be seen to be at the junction of the two countries, and it is very detailed, which mountain has the army of the Burning Kingdom that is not familiar with it has been marked.
Pipsqueak pointed to the icon of a town on the map and said, "Now our location is here, and the next thing we have to do is enter the Blazing Dynasty and get through their blockade." ”
Pipsqueak glanced at the crowd: "There are only seven of us, which is the smallest number of all mercenary groups, which is our advantage and disadvantage. After a pause, Pippi explained: "The advantage is that we have few people, and the target is naturally small, so it is better to block it." But the disadvantage is also because we have few people, so it is bound to be much worse than other guilds to detect, and if it is discovered, it is likely to be blocked. ”
"Seven people, Wang Hao, are you going too?" Xiao Ba looked at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao nodded and said, "Well, I told the president, I'll go too." ”
Pippi took over and said: "Well, I forgot to tell you, Wang Hao also joined our association, and if Wang Hao is left here or on the way back to Longde City, it is likely that he will be attacked by greedy wolves on the way, and we have no way to divide our troops to escort him, so it is safest to follow us." ”
What Pippi said was reasonable, Xiaoba also nodded in agreement, and he was also very happy with Wang Hao's joining. At this time, Zhang Yutong pointed to a city not far away: "There are just a few of us, why do we have to go through the blockade line, just walk directly from the city, we can still pretend to be husband and wife." ”
"Cough" After listening to Zhang Yutong's words, Pippi coughed for a while, drank two sips of water and finally pressed it down and said: "You can't go through the city, the Scorching Dynasty has become very strict since the last coup, and the review of past merchants has become very strict, so it is not easy for us to mix up." ”
"Then let's just go over there on a mission?" Hachi asked.
Pippi shook his head and said: "You also have a general understanding of what our mission is, it can be said that it is not visible, and there is actually the Lumi royal family behind it in secret, so the Lumi royal family will never want us to be exposed, so that once we fail, the other party will have an excuse to threaten us Lumi, one is not good, the other party can also contact several surrounding powers, so as to sanction us, so no matter what, this time to ensure that our identity is not leaked, is the most important thing." ”
Hearing Pippi's words, Hachi also suddenly realized, and everyone continued to listen to Pippi, "So, we can only break through their border defense this time, and the position I chose is here." With that, Pipsqueak said, pointing to a col in one of the two of the Flame Dynasty's garrisons that were relatively close to each other.
"There are people guarding on both sides, will it be too close to the two garrison points if you go here, how dangerous it is, it's better to go over there, there is no one to guard here, a few of us, we won't be found if we walk over with a swagger." Zhang Yutong pointed to a barren mountain in the distance and said.
Pippi shook his head and said, "It's because this side is relatively close to the two garrison points that I chose this place." ”
"It's dark under the lamp?"
"Well," Pipsqueak continued, "these two garrisons are so close that they won't pay too much attention to the middle piece, so we just need to go from here, as long as we are careful, it should be the safest to get through guò, and this road is relatively close, which is very suitable for a breakthrough of a small team like ours." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the barren mountain and said: "Don't you think it's strange that such a barren mountain is not guarded by a garrison? I think there must be something hidden here, and if we rush over, I am afraid that there will be unexpected dangers, so for the sake of safety, we still choose this road." ”
After listening to Pippi's analysis, they all nodded yes.
"When are we leaving?" Zheng Zirui began.
Pippi said: "You go and prepare, and then you will leave in a while, and break through the blockade at noon." ”
"Noon?" everyone was shocked, wondering why Pipsqueak chose the brightest time of the day to go. Pippi explained: "It's the middle of summer, the sun is the most poisonous at noon, and the garrisons standing on the top of the mountain are also the hardest time of the day, so they must not be in the best condition, and at noon, for our breakthrough, some poisonous insects, rats and ants are relatively rare. ”
"Won't they search the nearest place at noon?" Hachi asked, wondering.
"No, the terrain is steep, coupled with the rainstorm a few days ago, a lot of trees have been broken, the mountain is smoother, if you want to go down there directly, there are only two ways, one is to rely on the rope, the other is to go around, and if you go around, it will go around a big circle, imagine who will use a lot of manpower to detour to explore a place that can be seen by looking down? Even if you use a rope, where the two peaks meet for hundreds of meters, it is difficult to go down directly, so we just need to be careful not to be seen by the people above. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be impressed by Pippi's thoughtfulness, even Wang Hao, who has always thought that he is also wise, is only because of Weiyang will be out of proportion, giving the greedy wolf a chance. But at this time, he also felt that if it were to talk about marching command, he was still far from Pippi
In the evening, in the territory of the Scorching Flame Dynasty, in a dense jungle, Hachi and the others sat cross-legged, they did not light a bonfire, after all, it was still relatively close to the border defense line. If you rush to light a bonfire, I am afraid that it will arouse the idea of garrisoning the garrison.
"The president is really wise and martial, let's walk in with a swagger all the way, cool!" Zheng Zirui said with a smile while nibbling on dry food.
"Cut, I don't know who, I was so frightened by a falling rock just now that I lay on the ground and didn't dare to move for a long time," Zhang Yutong pouted and said with disdain.
Zheng Zirui was also used to it, and his face was not red, but he coughed dryly and said: "Uh, be cautious, it is the standard of a mature man, you old ladies don't understand." ”
Zhang Yutong stretched out his hand at Zheng Zirui, gestured with his little fist and said, "Don't you want to become a roast suckling pig again?"
Xiao Ba and Xia Yu looked at this pair of living treasures with a smile on the side.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. In the end, it was Pipsqueak who persuaded him, and after speaking, Pipsqueak took out a map and said, "We've broken through the blockade now, so let's go here." As he spoke, Pipsqueak touched a small city on the map with his hand.
"Into the city? Aren't we going to hide? Waiting to meet up with the others, then let's go into the city. The crowd was puzzled.
"Well, but hiding doesn't mean you can't enter the city, there are only seven of us, as long as you enter a city a little closer to the national capital, it's still easy to hide, you don't want to feed mosquitoes in the mountains and forests." Pipsqueak laughed, then scratched his hand across the map and said, "We're going to pass through here."
