Chapter 554: The Goat Party
The effects of many things are like burning skin, and when you see the destroyed skin on the surface, you will say, "It's terrible", but you don't know that the flesh underneath is also badly damaged.
Wren has heard a lot about the road to the blazing sun, how the countries are anxious and how contradictions are frequent, but there are new feelings when you observe them closely.
He picked up the soldier and said, "Take me to your king." ”
When the soldier heard the words of the mad woman before, he thought that the armored monster was really going to kill the king, and his legs were so frightened that he couldn't walk.
Wren didn't really need him, but he didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, so he gagged the soldier again, grabbed him and ran in the direction of the palace.
Perhaps because of the disappearance of the soldiers, the security level in the city has been raised again, and the soldiers patrol the streets more frequently, they no longer enter the house to interrogate and search, and there are squads stationed at various key intersections.
It doesn't have much effect on Wren, but it has a huge impact on others.
On the way to the palace, Wren suddenly found a group of sneaky people hiding in the alley, six or seven people were nervously hiding in the innermost, and one person watched the street situation at the mouth of the alley for a while, and ran in not long after.
"The patrol is getting more and more intense, and a team of people comes over every two minutes or so."
"Will we have been exposed?"
"Then they probably don't know where we are now, otherwise they would have found it a long time ago."
"But then we can't get close to the palace."
"Why don't you go back first, think about it in the long run."
"How to grow? How much longer do you think we'll be able to hold out? I said before we set off that today is our last chance, and we will either succeed or die, and there is no option to go back. ”
"Don't make a noise, I have an idea, let's grab a few soldiers and come over, change into their clothes, and then find a way to touch the vicinity of the palace."
"Desai's proposal is good, you can try it."
The others didn't have any opinions, discussed the plan of action, and decided that it was okay, and just as they were about to set off to carry it out, a soldier in armor was thrown in front of them.
Everyone retreated in shock, only to find that the soldier's mouth was gagged.
At the same time, another figure in armor appeared in front of them.
"Helmet...."Someone wanted to exclaim, but his companion immediately covered his mouth.
The person who made the suggestion before, who should have been named Desai, looked at Wren cautiously, and he pressed everyone and took two steps back: "Armor monster? Why are you here? ”
Wren looked at the group, they didn't seem to be doing very well, almost all of them had a few injuries on their bodies, not particularly serious but not insignificant.
"You're the goats?"
The crowd was silent, they couldn't guess why the armor monster was here, and they didn't want to expose too much.
However, Wren didn't need their answers, these people were undoubtedly goats, and the wounds on their bodies were probably left by the last assassination.
"That's right. Which of you is Bant? ”
Someone's face changed suddenly, but still no one spoke.
Wren looked at the man whose face changed slightly: "Are you Bante?" ”
Stared at by the armored monster, the other party was under great pressure and his body was tense, but Desai stood up: "Bent is not with us. ”
"And where is he now?"
Not to be outdone, the other party said: "Where did you know about him, why did you ask him?!" ”
"That means you do know Bant, and you do know the Goats."
"It's none of your business."
Wren chuckled: "It's still a little related. I heard you say that you want to disguise yourself as a soldier and sneak near the kingdom, but unfortunately~"
He pointed to the soldiers on the ground: "Because I kidnapped one person, now the whole city is infinitely more guarded, even if you succeed in a sneak attack, it will be difficult to change their armor, because there are permanent squads at various key intersections, and it is impossible for you to pass the level in confusion." ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly became extremely ugly: "It turned out to be because of you." ”
Only Desai was a little calmer, thinking about why the Armored Monster had captured the soldier and inquired about Banter's whereabouts.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Just tell me where Bent is."
Desai hesitated for a moment, thinking that this assassination operation had most likely failed, and they would not be able to hold out a new opportunity, so it was better to die.
"Bent is dead."
"Dead? Why, he was badly wounded in the last assassination? ”
Since the soldiers found the madwoman's house and asked about Bent's whereabouts, the two people who died in the last attack must not have included Bent, which means that he died later.
Desai shook his head: "He committed suicide." ”
"Why?"
Desai hesitated again and did not speak for a moment.
The others also unconsciously lowered their heads, and Wren realized that something else must have happened in this.
"You can't have killed him, right?"
"How is that possible!" Someone immediately retorted.
"Since it's not, why do you all look cowering and don't dare to look up and speak when I ask?"
"......" the crowd did not speak.
The more they were like this, the more Wren felt that something was wrong.
"Forget it." In the end, it was Desai who sighed, probably to make himself feel better, and he had already understood that the assassination was hopeless, and he was the first to confess the reason to Wren.
The Goats aren't the only ones, at least not a day ago.
After the last failed assassination, their group still had more than twenty people, and they went into hiding for a few days before finally fleeing outside the city, hiding in a farmhouse.
Almost everyone was wounded, tired and hungry.
Coupled with the failure of the assassination, everyone was very pessimistic, and some people suggested that while there was still a little bit of strength, they would return to the city and fight.
But there are also those who feel that they shouldn't just give up and want to rectify and continue to do it.
While they were discussing, the man who had gone out to let off loose in the neighborhood came back with a lot of food. It was said that the people in the neighborhood knew that they were the goats and were going to kill Taxis, and they were forced to give them a hard shovel.
When everyone heard this, their blood immediately surged.
"Look, everybody's rooting for us, we shouldn't just give up!"
"That's right, eat, heal your wounds, and go back to take revenge, you can't let them down!"
When everyone finished eating, they had something in their stomachs and their emotions were high.
But there is one person who is different.
Bant was originally a staunch revenger, and when everyone was down, he was one of those who said they would continue to fight.
But now that everyone's mood is stable, he thinks about it more.
Because his wife has always opposed him joining the Goat Party, his wife wants to get by, as long as she can live.
Bant knew very well that there were many people like his wife, and it should be said that the vast majority of people were like this, otherwise how could their goat party only have these two dozen people?
What's more, now that the kingdom is levied a large tax collection, where will the peasants give so much food to their group of traitors?
So by saying that he was going on patrol, Bant was going to check the situation.
