Section 111 - The Middle-Upper Strategy
"My lord, there's a dark sentry on the hillside on the left!"
Dundalt, the innkeeper who temporarily joined the team, lowered his voice and said behind Lin Mo, who was driving the cart and bull.
"I know it!"
Lin Mo nodded imperceptibly.
This sentry position had already been confirmed by him and the other two archers, and it seemed likely that Dundot had really made up his mind to join them, but it was too early to conclude until the mission was completed.
As for the sense of belonging to the country or something, both Lin Mo and the twin sisters know very well that in the national social system in this world, the low-level civilians will not care about the changing king flag at the head of the city unless they are facing the moment of life and death.
The Slans and the Portlanders, or the Larns, are just different dialects, and there is not much difference in language and writing, and the ruling class has to pay taxes and bear all kinds of exploitation and oppression.
The Portlanders' security guards seem to have spotted the convoy, but they have not issued any warnings or interceptions, and are still covertly watching.
Lin Mo didn't dare to release the Light Mirror Technique to reconnoiter the surroundings, this is not an earth where there is no means of restraint, but the magicians can easily sense the sight of the Light Mirror Technique, and can immediately take countermeasures.
Even when he was exploring Dongquan Town at night, Lin Mo could only rely on the "Dragon General's" scientific and technological reconnaissance system, and did not dare to use this primary-level light spell that he had already used to at will.
"Stand still, who's who?"
After more than four hours in the mountains, the convoy finally encountered the first checkpoint.
"My lord, it's the cargo of the boss of Rondotai. ”
Lin Mo motioned to stop moving forward, and at the same time responded loudly in the direction of the level.
In addition to the big man Ann and the sorceress Bertha Luo as backup support, the other eight members of the support team all followed Lin Mo to make cameo appearances as the chauffeur of this grain transportation team.
"Passes, and a list of goods!"
Armed with a spear in hand, the Portland Ten-Captain who led the team to guard the pass stood behind the rejection horse and shouted from afar.
Behind him, the Portland soldiers stood guard with bows and arrows or knives and spears in hand.
Horizontal eyebrows and raised eyes stared at Lin Mo in front of the front of the convoy for a while. The Portland Ten-Commander said with a skeptical tone, "Where's that guy Rondotai, boy, I think you seem to be a little unscrupulous!
"My lord, I am the nephew of Rondotai, my uncle had a cold yesterday, and he had a fever at night and talked nonsense, and he still can't get up from lying down until now, so he can only hand over the food to me today. ”
Lin Mo, who led the team, was like a different person at the moment, not at all like the gentle-mannered and well-educated aristocrat before, but a real philistine businessman. With a smiling face and a beautiful compliment, he quickly handed over the passage papers that he had found from the grain merchant Rondotai.
Then he muttered about some things about the grain merchant Rondottai like a broken thought, most of which he heard at the table of the inn, and it was used to cover his identity at the moment, as if he was indeed extremely familiar with Rondottai, which invisibly added a bit of credibility.
After taking it, the Portland Ten's eyes were still full of suspicion and distrust.
"Master Jamie, this is indeed Lin Mo, the nephew of the boss of Rondotai, who just arrived in Winter Springs Town half a month ago. I've been working as a helper at the boss of Rondotai. ”
At this time, Dundot, the guy of the Wine Inn in Winter Spring Town, finally played a role, and Rondotai was sick and feverish, and he couldn't lead the team.
These Portlanders wouldn't have imagined that Lin Mo's cheap uncle was being tied up in his own warehouse with his buddies at the moment. There is also a magic incense made by the medicine master Mien, and he will not wake up until noon tomorrow at the earliest.
"Huh, why are you here, Dundotte? Didn't you let Rondottay's convoy carry something?"
The Portland Ten-Captain apparently knew the inn guy.
Indeed, as Dundot said, he had been to this military blockade many times before.
"I happened to bring beef and ale. Unfortunately, the board broke down, and I came to ask the guy from Rondottai to help me load and unload things, and it happened that the boss of Rondottai was very sick. I'm worried that my nephew will mess things up by delivering alone for the first time, so I'll help take care of it. ”
Saying half-truths, Dundot made a warm-hearted appearance, took a small bag and a wooden cylinder from the car behind him, stuffed them into the hand of the ten-captain, and continued: "Look, my lord, this is not by the way. ”
Perhaps it was because of the smell of meat and wine, the Portland Ten-Captain swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and his face immediately improved, and he said, "Okay, you kid is still very good! Well, don't worry, as long as the inspection is okay, I will let you go immediately." Looking at the small gestures he was accustomed to between him and Dundot, it was not the first time that such a bribe had been.
He glanced at the soldiers behind him, who immediately surrounded the convoy and began to check whether the goods on the trucks were in line with the cargo list.
The handling of these Portland sergeants in the convoy was entirely the responsibility of Linmer and Dundot, and the others were all with their heads bowed and looked honest and obedient.
What's more, the attention of the Portland Captain was attracted by the two people who led the team and the wine and meat in their hands, but he didn't notice anything strange about the coachmen.
A group of lowly coolies, even if they have a fresh face, is not unusual, and the mobility of people in this line of work is already very large.
These soldiers can only check that the actual goods on the cart match the list, and whether there is any hidden contraband, and there is nothing they can do about whether the food on the cart has been secretly tampered with.
By the end of the inspection, they had not found any weapons hidden in the compartment at the bottom of the body.
The convoy was stranded in front of the checkpoint for more than ten minutes before it was cleared, and most of them would be shocked if someone came to check the elemental affinity of everyone in the convoy, except for a wine pub buddy and a medicine man, everyone else had extremely amazing warrior or spell caster talents.
After passing through four checkpoints with equally strict checkpoints, Lin Mo and the others entered a small camp with a hidden location.
It's only a kilometer away from the mouth of the tunnel shrouded in illusions, so you can quickly arrive and support no matter where the situation arises.
"Hurry up! Unload your stuff and get out! No running around, no looking around!"
The soldiers who led the convoy to the logistics center shouted at the outsiders, as if they were impatient with their arrival, and even a second longer would mean something bad would happen.
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll be right away!"
Lin Mo, Dundot and the others pretended to be sincerely frightened, and hurriedly lowered their heads and moved the goods to the warehouse very quickly, while exchanging glances with each other carefully.
These Portlanders were extremely tight, and they couldn't find an opportunity to take advantage of for a while, but despite this, the fifth-order pharmacist in the team, Mien, had already successfully done something.
Perhaps it was the bad luck of the Portlanders, the beef and ale sent by the inn guys were all poisoned with colorless and odorless, and although the poison used was rare and precious, it was definitely a lucrative deal for the harvest of this operation.
Not only that, Lin Mo and the support team had the intention of catching them all, and even most of the food carried by the convoy was also moved.
As long as it is applied properly, the life-saving pharmacist will not be much slower than the executioner, which is why there is a fifth-order pharmacist in the elite support team.
The three strategies of the twin sisters, Lin Mo and the others are now implementing the upper and middle strategies, since there is no way to directly enter the tunnel, then they can only take the opportunity to poison and create chaos.
Judging from the current progress, it is not easy to expose the identity and be forced to launch an unfavorable situation.
The honest attitude and quick movements of all the people in the unloading of the food convoy satisfied the Portland soldiers who were guarding the work, and the convoy did not have any abnormalities in the less than an hour from the time it entered the camp to the time it left, and every move was under his watch.
"Kayan, are they gone? Your Excellency has ordered us to be careful during this time. ”
Seeing the back of the grain convoy disappear from the entrance and exit of the barracks, the Portland soldier who was in charge of the convoy just now nodded to the ten-captain of his squad and replied loudly: "Everything is normal! Boss Willie!"
"Go and help Captain Mars bring out all the beef and ale, and everyone can have more food in the evening!"
"Yes, Willy!"
"Kayan, carry something with me, and I'll allow you to steal it later!"
"Xie Lu Shemas Boss!"
"Hell, whoever gives you food is the boss!"
The Portland Ten-Commander, who was carrying a war knife at his waist, watched his subordinates follow the oily-faced, round-shouldered captain away, and shook his head with some hatred
The grain convoy that unloaded the goods came out quickly, and there was no interception at several checkpoints, not even the intention of inspection, and it was directly released all the way.
"My lord, how am I doing?"
After coming out of the Portlanders' camp, the back of the inn buddy Dundalt was already wet with sweat, not tired, but nervous and afraid.
No matter how anxious he was in front of Lin Mo and the others at the beginning, in the barracks, the sense of crisis that was always on his back was something he had never felt before.
"You're doing well!"
Lin Mo, who was still driving the cart, nodded, gestured to the rear of the convoy, and a small paper bag flew from behind, and he grabbed it as if he had eyes in his hand, and then stuffed it into the arms of the wine inn guy, and said: "This antidote is a reward for your good performance, take it in three hours, not early, not too late! When the task is over, I will give you the real antidote, I will do what I say." ”
Dundot was stunned for a moment, took out the paper bag from his arms and held it tightly in his hand as if it was like a lifeline, stared at it for a while, the intense pain of angina was still fresh in his memory, and then nodded vigorously and said, "My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely cooperate fully." ”
"Hehe! Your next task is to stay in one place and not go anywhere until dawn tomorrow!"
"Uhhhhhhh
: Asking for a monthly pass bombardment!~ My cousin is trying to maintain the update, and a little adjustment will ensure that the regular update will be the same as before. (To be continued......)
