Chapter 673: Looking for the Hidden Big Boss
PS: PS: Today's birthday, bless the tanuki~!^-^
In the evening, on the outskirts of a remote mountain range. Don, who came from Coldwater City non-stop, finally made peace with David and the others,
"Haha, boss, long time no see. ”
"It's been a long time, and it's only been a week. ”
"Uh, yes...... But Boss, we've all heard about what you're doing in Moma City, make a god, tsk, this is amazing!"
"Oh, this one, it's nothing. Generally, shijie third. ”
"Well, who are the first and second ones?"
“...... Did anyone tell you, David, that you really don't have a sense of humor!"
......
After a few words of ridicule and greeting, Tang En's expression was straight, he looked around at the surrounding barren mountains and mountains left and right, and frowned slightly: "What about that old guy? Could it be that this is the hiding place of the high-level leaders of the Bounty Hunter Guild?"
David didn't answer immediately, but laughed twice: "Hehe, boss, guess what." ”
"Bang, I see that your guts are getting fatter and fatter!" Tang En raised his hand to clapp, but David shrank his head, but did not make any obvious dodge movements. Of course, hiding is also in vain, and his body style is not at the same level as Tang En.
However, Tang En was just making a appearance, and after raising his hand, he withdrew and touched his chin, looked around and muttered for a moment, and muttered in a low voice: "No wonder the secret agency launched before failed to dig them out, it turned out that they were hidden in the deep mountains and old forests...... Well, what kind of bandit village is it here......"
"What the hell?" Hearing this, David opened his mouth, his face full of astonishment. "Boss, can you guess that?"
"David, you idiot!" said Harry, dressed in black armor, walking from not far away. A look of disdain. "The boss was just talking to himself, why did you admit it so quickly, who wouldn't have guessed?"
"Uh......" David was stunned when he heard this, then slapped his head, and decisively found that he was stupid. The corners of Don's mouth rose, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Continue to maintain your simple-minded characteristics." That's good! Because as soon as I see you, I feel a sense of intellectual superiority!"
“......”
Jokes aside, Don immediately learned the details from Harry.
About two days ago, when Don and the others were in Moma City, the old man in brown finally couldn't bear the pressure and quietly left the previous hiding place. After that, although they cautiously went around a few circles, it was undoubtedly impossible to get rid of David, so Zuihou also arrived here, quietly sneaking into the mountains and disappearing.
David and the others did not startle the snake after tracking this, after all, although their hiding and tracking skills were first-class. But if they really make a move, the two ground-level martial artists next to the brown-clothed old man are enough to make them disgraced. So to be on the safe side. As they relayed the news back to Coldwater, they cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
Not long before Don's arrival, David and the others finally determined the hiding place of the top leaders of the Bounty Hunter Guild. It was also surprising, because they did not choose to hide in the town, but quietly occupied a bandit village.
I have to say that the guild leaders are ingenious! The northern part of the country is vast and sparsely populated, and except for densely populated towns, large areas of jungle and mountain ranges are rarely touched by people except for special professions such as bandits, bandits, and mercenaries. And hiding here can indeed greatly reduce the possibility of being discovered.
Moreover, after going around the cottage, Tang En couldn't help frowning a little.
Lying crouched in the rubble, Harry whispered, "Boss, there are almost no flaws in the terrain of this cottage. Surrounded by mountains on both sides, one side of the sheep intestine trail leads directly to the periphery, easy to defend and difficult to attack. One side goes straight to the abyss, ordinary people can't cross, only a suspension bridge inside the cottage connects the two sides, well, it should be their way out. ”
Tang En nodded lightly when he heard this: "It's not a small difficulty......
With such a tight guard, Tang En himself can go in, but the cottage is no better than the manor, not to mention that he is not sure whether the other party's high-level is disguised, that is, there is no disguise, and it is also a problem to guess where the other party is hiding in the cottage, so it is not meaningful to sneak in alone.
And if you take David with them, the possibility of exposure will increase greatly, after all, not everyone in the gray space is good at sneaking in, and the level of the main attackers like David is a little worse.
After thinking about it, Tang En asked in a low voice, "Have you explored the inside of the cottage, and what is the strength of the other party?"
"I went in once in the afternoon, and the guards near the gate were very tight, and there were quite a few guards. Because there are two masters sitting nearby, they should be ground-level martial artists, and I am not sure to sneak in, so I can only choose to retreat. ”
"Yes, that's a good job. Almost, let's go back first. After avoiding the guards and approaching the cottage to observe, Don groaned and retreated to the outskirts of the cottage with Harry.
"Boss, what should we do?" Although the situation was a little difficult, the expression of David who greeted him did not change, on the one hand, he was confident in his own strength, and on the other hand, he believed that Tang En could come up with a way to deal with it.
This is David's strength, but also his weakness. Loyal, but at the same time, he lacks the ability to be a leader. To put it bluntly, he is a general, but he can't be a commander! Of course, people are different, and David also thinks that he is not the material for being a commander, his idea is very simple, that is, to complete the task assigned by the boss, and the rest is not a problem for him to consider.
"It's simple. Tang En's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his arm, "Since it's not easy to get in, let's force them out." Let's go, go and prepare some things first, and then make plans in the middle of the night. ”
Harry on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned his hand and flashed his dagger: "Then boss, I will lead someone to pull out the surrounding 'nails' first?"
The so-called nails are also dark whistles. If they want to make some moves, they naturally have to clean up the surroundings first. However, Tang En waved his hand and turned to leave: "No need, someone will clean it up, you can go and prepare with me." ”
David and Harry couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then they thought of something, and they looked at each other, and their eyes were sudden. But he didn't say anything, and silently followed Donn's footsteps.
Needless to say, the only one who went to clean up the dark whistle was Mixiu and them.
Donn had said that Michaeu would not be able to meet with David, but it was inevitable to know each other's existence. For example, the previous battle in Coldwater City. It was David who Michaux rescued...... It is impossible to completely cover it up. After all, the two sides are too familiar. A mask alone can't hide anything.
Of course, it is still necessary to cover up, at least not to let Josia know that Michau is still alive. And if there is a tacit David, they cover it up, and the effect will be much better.
In addition to these reasons, the most important thing is that Don needs Mi Xiu as an assistant. As I just thought, David is not suitable to be a leader on his own, and Don is just one person, and he can't do it. With Mi Xiu, a person who knows the roots, to help, it will undoubtedly be much easier.
......
The terrain of the cottage can be called dangerous, but it is naturally impossible to say that there are no flaws. In addition, at the moment, this is not a confrontation between the two armies, and the cottage is not a tactical place that must be taken, Tang En naturally does not need to think too much.
The moon hangs high, and the twilight is boundless. Soon after entering the second half of the night, the road was swept into the front of the cottage, that is, the sheep intestine trailhead.
At first, the cottage guards didn't care, fogging at night was a normal thing, but when they smelled the obvious fire in the smoke, it was naturally different. Suddenly.
Beep...... A terrible whistle instantly broke the silent night sky, just a few breaths later. The cottage is full of people and bonfires. With a few roars, near the walled gate, several small city-guarding crossbows were pushed out.
After a little chaotic movement, the people in the stockade looked around, but they found no trace of the enemy. Before he opened his mouth to scold his mother, suddenly, he swished...... The screams are piercing, and the sound of breaking the air is bursting.
Huo Ran raised his head, and on the towering peaks on both sides, dozens of fires fell one after another like stars falling to the ground, not hurting anyone, but nailed directly to the buildings in the village, and the firelight suddenly brightened.
"Damn!" "Your mother, it's so despicable......" "Extinguish the fire, put out the fire quickly......"
Bran is not as cold as the Northern Wilderness, so most of the buildings here are made of wood, rather than basically made of stone as in the Northern Wilderness. Because of this, under the continuous rocket attack, several buildings quickly burst into flames.
At this time, the people in the village immediately understood the other party's intention, that is, to directly destroy their tight defense line with fire attack.
It's a simple strategy, but it's certainly effective. Not only do things like the city crossbow completely useless, but it is also unrealistic to extinguish fires. The village is located in the mountains, and the water source is a problem, even if there is a mountain spring nearby, it is far water that cannot save the near fire.
Of course, it's okay to separate the fire source, but will the people in the village do it......
On the left peak, while holding a telescope to look around, Don casually answered David's question of 'will the other party obediently withdraw from the cottage'.
"The strength of the other party is not low, and there are many guards who follow. It stands to reason that it is absolutely fine to hold the stockade, but ...... Hehe, they are in the light, we are in the dark. They didn't know that there were only a few dozen of us, so they couldn't judge whether they could hold the stockade. ”
"And the old guy who came here before, although he didn't participate in the battle on the banks of the Hanshui River, he must have known the details. Tsk, one air-level martial artist and three ground-level martial artists...... This kind of force is dead in our hands, do you think the other party is afraid? Please, that must be afraid!"
"Even if it's unknown, and there's a little fear in my heart, what choice do you think they will make......" After a pause, Don casually handed the telescope to David, the corners of his mouth raised, "Look, they made an extremely wise decision." Well, praise one!"
David was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his binoculars, and saw that in the fire-lit stockade below, the figures were panicking and withdrawing to the rear drawbridge. At the same time, there are still a large number of guards near the walled gate, holding crossbows, as if facing a great enemy, aiming at the sheep intestine path hidden by the thick fog...... Actually, there were only a few members of the gray space who had set the fire and were babbling.
Blinking, David turned his head a little hungrily: "Just ...... It's that simple?"
"Or else?" Don En shrugged, then reached out to pass the binoculars, squinted at the suspension bridge behind the stockade, and muttered to himself, "Well, let me see which one is more like a hidden boss, come out, come out...... Hey, there aren't many masters......"
