Chapter 68: Benevolence and Righteousness
After the meeting, Skar approached Oster and asked him for another favor.
According to the division of labor, Oster, as the chief technician, had to return to the military factory in the Black Mountains to ensure the normal production and supply of weapons and ammunition, while continuing to research and maintain the harvesting puppets. Skar hoped that on the way, he would stop by the West Mountain Base to sort things out;
According to the report, after the rebellion broke out in the Xishan stronghold, the remaining officers and soldiers relied on the terrain advantage of the camp to reluctantly repel the invading enemy, but most of the outlying towns and villages fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Because the rebellion was started by the indigenous faction, in the subsequent process of purging the traitors, the battalion headquarters obviously favored the foreign faction, imprisoned and killed many innocent indigenous officers and soldiers, which made many local gangs chill, and they left the team or even defected to the government;
And the county government guards and the landlords' return regiment are still on the periphery, ready to attack again at any time. In the face of such a crisis, only a person with a high degree of ability and prestige can once again unite the army and the people and stabilize the situation in Xishan.
When Auster heard this, his scalp was numb, and it was not difficult to understand Skar's thoughts: at present, the north and the south had fallen, the east and west were in an emergency at the same time, and the main force of the rebel army could only rescue in one direction, so they had to choose the nearest and more pressured stronghold in Dongxiang;
But that doesn't mean the safety of Xishan isn't important. This place is an important granary and source of soldiers for the rebels, and it is also close to the Black Mountain Range, where the rebels' hole cards, secret warehouses and military factories are hidden. Once they fall into the hands of the enemy, the transportation routes of engineering weapons and ammunition will be interrupted, and the main force of the rebel army and the troops fighting in the rest of the area will soon face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.
Skar has no choice but to count on the second-hand helper who is loved by others. But what he didn't know was how weak and straw this villain saint in the eyes of everyone actually was.
Sa Shu Golden Finger is still in energy-saving mode to start, can only be turned on and detected, under the halo of the deputy gang leader of Ao, it is a level 0 waste wood that dies at a touch.
Oster knew very well that dealing with the contradiction between the guest and the land could not be said to be dangerous, it was simply a messenger who sent his life; If you are not careful, you will end up with the former captain. Price is already a very capable person, and he was shot black, how can he do better.
Originally, he had already moved away from the front line, and wanted to take advantage of the great momentum of the rebel army to earn a fortune before leaving. Now it seems that it could not have been a good thing to join the rebel party from the beginning.
Oster was embarrassed and said, "What, it's okay for me to engage in scientific research, but I can't do it as a judge, I must not be able to handle it." ”
"Don't be modest," said Skar, "I've seen it all when I went around the world before, and they're all just for you. Don't worry, you won't be left alone this time, Keith will assist you, and the Guards will escort you. ”
Scarr even sent his closest internal affairs hall master and personal bodyguard to him, which shows the importance he attaches to this matter. With no choice but to bite the bullet.
The crowd rode together, and it took two or three days to reach it at the earliest. On the way, Pullman asked curiously, "Why don't we use magic teleportation?" There's the deputy gang leader here. ”
This handsome young man, Oster, has met many times, has good skills, is Scalar's bodyguard, and has a good relationship with Marisa. Speaking of Marisa, it's been a long time since I've seen this little ghost, and I don't know where she's gone.
Within the rebels, everyone believed that Oster was an archmage and a knight, and that he could use all kinds of magic and forbidden spells. Oster replied distraughtly, "Skill cooldown." ”
He kept thinking about what to do next. After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that in the past few months, I have unconsciously been involved in this world too deeply;
Who is he? A dignified traveler and a high-ranking person in another world, pretending to be forced to slap his face is the meaning and mission of his existence here. It's better to start a revolution now, and if it goes on like this, all the readers will run out.
It's better to find a chance to escape. Although I can't stand these rebels, Skal, who treats him well, is not a savior, and some things can be done with benevolence.
Injustice and oppression are inevitable in any world; The universe is so big, the planes are numerous, the stars are boundless, and so is eternity. If he really has the ability to change the world, how can Wu Lian in the previous life be guilty of ending up working overtime and dying suddenly.
Thinking of this, Oster began to think about how to wait for the opportunity to slip away. With his IQ85 IQ, he quickly came up with a brilliant idea;
"Alas! I have a stomachache...... Go first, and I'll catch up. ”
As he spoke, he dismounted, clutching his stomach and burrowing into the grass. The escort team looked at each other, and they were ordered to protect the deputy gang leader without leaving an inch, so no one left first.
Oster waited for a while, and saw that the soldiers would not leave him, and he felt a dilemma. What should we do, do you want to force them to set off first, so that it is too easy to be discovered, right?
Thinking left and right, he planned to slip away directly from the other side. However, before he had taken two steps, Keith parted from the grass and hurried over; "Deputy Gang Leader, why haven't you moved for so long, have you encountered an assassin?" "No, no, nothing, don't come here! I didn't mention my pants. ”
Oster gloomily followed Keith out of the grass and climbed back onto his horse. When he couldn't do it, he began to try various methods again.
So on the next journey, the moth of the deputy gang leader of Ao was never broken; He kept making outrageous requests such as looking at the scenery, digging birds' eggs, digging up grass roots, catching sparrows, and inspecting leaves, and pulled it three times in an hour. Half a day passed, and the team only walked a little distance.
Although everyone was a little strange, given that in their eyes, the red-haired villain was a big man who had always acted strangely, but every time he was unexpectedly far-sighted at the end, he didn't say anything.
However, Oster still couldn't run away in the end, and the problem was this Keys;
This man was Skar's confidant and one of the first gang members. Responsible for logistics and technology, doing things has always been a one-eye, saying that it sounds good is to drill the horns, and to say that it is bad is to be dead-headed. This time, he was entrusted by the gang master to protect Oster, and he did his best, his eyes were like torches;
Oster digs out birds' eggs, squats under the tree, watches the scenery and sentry on the side, digs grass roots to catch snakes around, and even goes to the toilet to follow up and observe. As soon as there was a stir or the deputy gang leader was too far away, he ordered the cavalry to search for him as if he were facing a great enemy. Oster couldn't find a chance to escape at all, and he was bored.
As he was about to enter the mountain road, Oster suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his mind was enlightened, and he thought of a really good idea;
Previously, by checking the power of Sashu, it was shown that in the past few months, the charging progress has recovered a bit, and the remaining energy is enough to support the release of one or two intermediate spells.
His plan was to take advantage of the slightest ability to cast spells, and find opportunities on the road to pretend to encounter accidents, such as falling off a cliff, or being eaten by wolves camping in the middle of the night, creating the illusion that he was dead;
In fact, he used magic such as teleportation to get out. In this way, not only can they flee with a swagger, but they can also give everyone an explanation, and they will not be allowed to look for themselves everywhere.
What a genius plan! Oster admired himself a little. Thinking of this, he hurriedly quickened his speed and rode into the mountain with a whip. Seeing that the strange ritual of the deputy gang leader was finally over, everyone hurriedly rode their horses to follow.
After walking for another half a day, after reaching a certain cliff deep in the hills, I saw a flock of birds flying and dust and mist rising from the mountain, as if there were signs of a large number of people and horses.
Keith immediately put the team in place. Observing with a telescope, it was found that it was an officer and military guard, mixed with a large number of people who looked like bandits, and it was supposed to be a landlord's return to the hometown. Looking in the direction they were traveling, there was a village built under a cliff in the smoke of cooking not far away.
Seeing that the other side was outnumbered, and that they had not yet been discovered, Keith ordered the escort to take the bells, pick up the bells, and make a detour without contact. At present, their first priority is to escort Oster to the stronghold, and they must not cause any danger to the danger.
But Oster refused, insisting on going straight. And without saying anything, he had already ridden away, and ran away along the rugged mountain road as soon as he slipped away.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was that after walking so far, he finally found that the nearby terrain was steep and he could carry out the cliff fall plan. And if it doesn't go well, you can still rely on the assistance of the official army, and in the case of chaos, it is easier to disguise yourself as dead, and you will not be noticed by the rebels.
When he came to the corner of the mountain road, and saw that the escort coming from behind was not far away, Oster rode to the edge of the cliff, pretended to be hung by a branch, and turned over and fell off the cliff with a scream;
The process was actually quite dangerous, reminding Auster of the first bungee jump in his previous life, when he peed his pants on the spot.
But fortunately, this is the wizarding world, and spells are the most convenient and reliable safety ropes and parachutes. Just recite a spell easily, and you can grow wings out of thin air and land safely;
However - [False, Slow Fall (Level 1) requires cast material: Light Feather. 】
Oster was dumbfounded. "I'm a big grass, why didn't I say it earlier!"
It was too late for him to struggle, and with the scream of "it's day—dog—", he fell straight down. The end of the play.
