Section 42 Raid

It took little effort to dispose of the outer guards. Cade already knew everything about the perimeter of the camp – in fact, the choices for those positions were made by him. He didn't even bother to send someone to sneak attack, but went to the sentry position alone, called the sentry down with a big grin, and took it all the way to the place where his men had set up an ambush.

When three or five sentries walked unprepared into an encirclement of several hundred people, it is easy to imagine what happened. They had no choice but to be retained. But even so, among the waves of sentinels who were brought into the ambush circle, two people tried to resist - and were immediately killed.

"You're here with your men. Cade ordered the leader of a squadron of hundreds. Kasek had twelve hundred soldiers, and for a frontier lord, especially one with heavy debts, he had more than enough soldiers. This time, he gave 500 of them to Cade and told the soldiers to obey Cade "as if they were lords".

It must be said that Kasek is a man who still has a set of things for the army. Not to mention anything else, the fact that he owes the soldiers half a year's salary and can continue to delay it shows a lot of things. And these soldiers are quite quick to do things. Originally, Caeder only planned to ask for 300 men, but since Kasek was willing to give him more men, there was no need to refuse.

Three hundred people is indeed about the same. Combined, there are no more than a thousand of these vampire scammers, and a significant number of them have been added during the recent excavations escape. There are currently more than 200 people hiding in their main camp, all of them, and Neil is there. After killing them, the rest of the people will be easily wiped out because the dragons are leaderless.

Five hundred against two hundred, in the number of him has an absolute advantage. However, not only in numbers, but also in equipment, training, and intelligence, he has an overwhelming advantage in every aspect. Cade knew all about the inside of the rebels, but the rebels had no idea of the raid. The operation was more of a one-sided sweep than a battle.

Leaving a hundred soldiers on the periphery was not to defend their own path, but to capture the rebel members who had returned to the camp in pieces. With Cade's intentions, there was actually no need to leave anything alive, but Cade thought it was better for him to capture more prisoners and go back. The excavation site was now short of labor because of the previous flight, and Kasek was able to sell all the captives to the church. I believe that this deal can make Kasek a lot of money and reduce the burden a little, so that the implementation of the agreement will be more enjoyable.

Of course, he didn't think about taking out Kasek. Kill him and get his hands on his collectibles. However, the poor earl could not afford to hire a new servant, and his long-standing plan to poison the dimensional stone was completely unenforceable. Besides, it will take several months for this plan to take effect, which is really inconsistent with his character of paying attention to efficiency.

The sword...... It can only be said that it is a small compensation. His original plan was to get Baron Pinod's approval and thus free himself from this cursed short life, if not, then find a way to kill Baron Pinold, or use some other means to get some blood from him, and try to solve the mystery of eternal life himself, if not, then at least get enough knowledge of the dark arts from Baron Pinod as a reward for his service to the vampires.

And right now this result is the worst. He wasted a lot of time and energy, and ended up with nothing. The thought of being deceived by such indiscriminate lies made it difficult for him to restrain his anger.

In fact, the more mysterious the lie, the easier it is to be deceived. This lie is perfect when everyone thinks, "This should not be a lie, because there is no good in telling such a lie."

The sentry had been cleared, and he knew the road well, so he quickly arrived at his destination with the remaining four hundred soldiers.

"My lord, the subordinates of the vampires are hiding here?" looked at the entrance of the mausoleum, and an officer asked with some hesitation. These Kasek's subordinates didn't know the true identity of Kasek, let alone the deal he made with Kasek, so they simply called him "Lord". "But this place ...... It's really not quite right. ”

To be honest, this place really doesn't fit into a nest. These ancient tombs may have been large and spacious inside, but the entrances were small and there was only one entrance. It only takes a dozen, or even a dozen, to block the entrance, and it is enough to seal a few hundred people inside. As long as the rebels still have a little military common sense, they will not make such a stupid choice.

"That's right. Cade explained dismissively. This nest was excavated before he arrived, and none of the crooks knew military knowledge at that time. "Leave ten men outside, and the others follow me in. ”

......

“...... But this place really doesn't fit. Once again, Eric suggested. "There is no need for a large army, as long as an army of dozens of people is blocked outside, it is enough for all of us to be sealed inside and wait for death. ”

"I'll talk about it when Pete comes back. Neil replied. Eric was the only one of them who had real military experience, especially in actual combat command, so he immediately got his rightful place. However, Eric himself was somewhat disappointed. He had expected Baron Pinod to have a sizable number of men, but unexpectedly the total number of rebels was only about a thousand—and that's after adding those who had escaped from the excavation site. Worse

The biggest problem they are facing now is how to properly digest and deal with the people rescued from the excavation site. Many people have become ill, caused by the mysterious curse in the excavation field, where no physical injuries can be found, but the whole body is in pain, muscle spasms, and some have hair falling out. Inside the excavation site, if someone suffers from this disease, they will continue to be forced to work until they are cursed to take their lives.

But now that they've escaped, it's a different story. The rebels have done their best to send the sick to villages under their control to recuperate, and the situation is still under control and no one has died. It is clear that even those who did not become ill in the excavation site were actually tainted by this mysterious curse, but did not attack because of the short period of time.

Eric sat back in his seat a little sullenly. After joining the group, he discovers that the vampire rebels are nowhere near as strong as they seem. In his initial impression, Baron Pinold's subordinates had a considerable degree of strength, and the number of them may be in the hundreds, but there must be a large number of dark magicians among them, controlling an army of the dead of a certain size. And the whole of West Vania is full of spies and spies. If it weren't for the strength of the Church, the rebels would have waged a large-scale battle to conquer all of Sylvania.

But in reality, things are far from being as good as they seem. There were no magicians, no undead legions to control, and even the Baron himself was nowhere to be seen in his recovery. In other words, the vampire rebels in West Vania had been so stormy before, and it was all up to the three of the baron's subordinates to support the overall situation.

Baron Pinod is indeed quite good at picking his subordinates, Cade is responsible for military operations, Pete is responsible for internal supplies and personnel, and Neil is responsible for external inquiries and liaising with people from all over the country who are willing to join. The combination of these three people has made such a weak rebel army a lot, and in the eyes of the uninformed, they seem to be more than ten times stronger than the real strength.

"Pete should be back. Neil said to himself. Pete went to settle the sick number, but calculated the time, and he really should be back.

"Where's Cade?" asked Eric.

He went to pack up Hassel. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Neil's expression is not so much a smile as a wry smile. It's the kind of wry smile that has something to say but can't say. "I can't come back for a while. But that's okay, you're right, we really should change camps. Here it is...... Not very safe. Why don't we think about this plan in detail? When Pete comes back, we can further refine it. ”

"This should be used as a supply warehouse, not a core camp. Eric replied matter-of-factly. "Although the terrain is secretive, if a traitor betrays it, it becomes a real tomb. I don't think we'll be able to break out of it even if we're all in it, as long as we're thirty fully armed. ”

That being said, it can be seen from the situation inside that this place was also cleaned up by the rebels with a lot of effort, and it is a bit reluctant to give up all at once. And even if you give up, there is no better place to go at the moment. Although there are several other camps, they cannot be compared with this ancient mausoleum in terms of material reserves or size.

"But we have a lot of sentry posts on the perimeter. If the army comes, they will call the police immediately. Neil replied. CapitaLand has set up a complete sentry system, and it is strictly enforced.

"But there was a problem with timing. Eric replied. "If the enemy is fast enough (especially if there is a mole leading the way), then there is no time for so many of us to transfer. Even if the enemy's movements are not very fast, and all our personnel are transferred in time, the supplies we leave inside will become the enemy's trophies. ”

Neil opened his mouth, but didn't retort. He knew that Eric was right. In fact, CapitaLand has suggested it before, but because I really couldn't spare this time before, I put it on hold for the time being.

"It's hard to find such a good place...... Do you have any suggestions?" asked Neil.

"I think it's a good location, because it's close to the city, it's easy to replenish, and it's surrounded by defense and vigilance. But we need to build other ...... Fortifications. Eric thought for a moment and replied. "I think we should build a small village. It doesn't need to be a big ...... If it can be built based on the nearby terrain, it can play a good role. ”

"Little village, it's too conspicuous, isn't it?"

"No, it should be said that if the camouflage is clever enough, coupled with the vigilance of the perimeter, it should be able to play a strong defensive role. Eric further suggested. "It would take a lot of troops to completely encircle this area, and no lord in West Vania has so many soldiers. It will be a place that is private and flexible, and can move in and out freely...... At the same time, you have to take care of ......," he mused, while picking up a pen and paper from the table, "I have experience in the construction of such military projects, and I ...... just right"

He had just started drawing on paper, when suddenly he heard a noise outside.

"What's the matter?" It wasn't just Erik, Neil turned his head to look out. The noise outside was mixed with a few screams, and the two looked at each other, not knowing what was happening in the road for a while.

Then, the door to the room was pushed open. Cade walked in from outside.
