Chapter Seventy-Two: This Town Is Not Simple
Thanks to the [Desperate Hell Angels] book friends for the 3 update tickets, but I really haven't had much time to code words recently, and the manuscripts are all used to prepare for the New Year, so I can only say sorry!
In fact, the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year are the second watch, and you can vote at that time...... I have self-respect.
============================= I am the dividing line =============================== of self-respect
As it was getting dark, Trins' troops found the place where the thieves had abandoned the wooden boat, according to the mercury lantern.
"What the hell is this place!?" Looking at the surrounding environment of poor mountains and bad waters, Tellinss couldn't help but say, "It's so late now, do you want me to camp in this wilderness!?"
Just as Trins was about to become furious, a scout ran up to Trins: "Your Excellency, a small town has been found on the plain not far from the forest. Judging by the map, it should be the town of Octin in the northwest of the empire. β
"Is there a town like this near Kalenga? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Well, because the Empire doesn't send any administrative officials to this town, it's just too remote. But the town of Octin does belong to the Empire, and the townspeople admit it. β
Trins nodded: "Well, you did a good job, I made a note of it." I'll reward you when I get back. β
The scout couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard this, but since there was a reward, he didn't take it for nothing: "Ha, thank you, sir." β
[Scout man, it's a good time for you to report......]
Alicia looked at the scout and walked down in confusion, then said to Angel beside her, "Looks like we don't have to sleep in a tent at night." β
Angel nodded in agreement: "That's great news." The mosquitoes in the mountains are so scary that I've been bitten many times. Uh, Mistress Alicia, why do you ......?"
Little Lori took out a slender glass bottle filled with strange liquid from the space bracelet and held it up in front of Anqi, and said with a smile: "Mosquito repellent potion, a bottle of gold coins." Or?"
"Don't you think the price is a bit outrageous?"
"Oh, it's not outrageous. I'm just sitting on the ground and making a bid. β
β...... Is it really okay for the word "price to sit on the ground" to come out of the mouth of the merchant himself?"
Lori's mosquito repellent was not sold. Because after walking a few steps in the direction of Octin, an eerie cold feeling suddenly swept over her, and in an instant it almost made Alicia mistakenly think that she had fallen into the water of the lake for thirty-nine days.
There's danger in that town!
Seeing that little Lori's face suddenly became very ugly, Angel hurriedly asked, "Lord Elicia, is there anything uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm fine, Sister Angel. β
[What's going on?] We're a regular army of the Empire, so can a small town in the middle of nowhere be a threat to the army?...... The town had actually been taken over by the bandits, and now the townspeople were all in disguise as their people? You can't let the army go in unguarded like this, it will be attacked by the other party!]
However, how do you convince the Viscount of Sao Bao who is putting on a show? Does it mean that his woman's intuition indicates that there is danger ahead? A Lori tells an uncle that she has a woman's intuition, and this situation is nonsense no matter how you look at it.
Precocious doesn't bring such a play! Those Loli who started to fall in love in elementary school in District 11 were all old cucumbers who had secretly eaten APTX4869 and painted a layer of green paint outside, which didn't count!
I feel like I'm about to be buried by a brick thrown by some pseudo-Lori fanbase......
Ahem, shoot me, please wait until the end of this chapter to shoot.
Elysia thought for a moment and said to Trins, who was about to leave, "Lord Viscount, you see that it is so late, presumably the residents of the town of Octin have already rested, right? β
"That's true. So what do you recommend?"
"Why don't you let the soldiers camp in place, and you can go into the town with a few guards to rest. Anyway, we will continue to search for the bandits in the mountains tomorrow, and camping here will save the troops time on the march. β
"Yes, how can I sleep in a place where such a bird does not lay eggs. Trins pointed at Alicia and said, "Your suggestion is good. So, for the sake of you and your men being girls, let's come together. I'll treat you to the money for the hotel. β,
[ThisγIs this the so-called smart but mistaken by smart......]
Alicia opened her mouth to refuse, but she couldn't find any excuse, so she had to cry and laugh and say, "Thank you, Lord Viscount." β
When the embarrassed little Lori returned to her ranks, she asked, "Why do you want the army to be stationed here? Don't tell me anything that disturbs the people, only that idiot viscount would believe it." β
"Think about it," explained Elysia, "why did the kidnappers abandon the ship in such a poor place where they could not hide? As soon as we found the river, we could immediately catch up with them down the river. Are they confident that they can beat the army? If they did, they would have captured Kalenga a long time ago, and they still had to hide themselves on the road to rob people? And our scouts didn't find any trace of them nearby, which meant that the kidnappers were hiding in the town of Octin. β
"But, don't they still have hostages?" Angie was stunned, "Are the townspeople all blind?"
"I see. "This town does not have any more administrative officials than the Rhea Empire, and naturally there will be no garrison. It must have been taken over by thieves, right? It's a den of thieves now. β
"Sister Yanzi is right. If we swagger in, most of us will not see the sun tomorrow. β
"But that viscount wants us to go over with us now!" Long Jiaotian said in a panic, "Isn't this a self-defeating trap?"
"Long Jiaotian, don't go with you. Little Lori comforted, "I will tell the Viscount in a moment that you plan to follow the teachings and spend the night in nature doing penance." He wouldn't doubt that reason. β
"Then what do you do?" Long Jiaotian said uneasily.
Little Lori smiled awe-inspiringly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Senior Sister Anqi, if that idiot hangs up, how sure are you of gaining control of the army?"
Angel said confidently, "If you tell the soldiers your identity in person, there should be no problem. β
"What if I'm not there?"
"Uh, what do you mean by that?"
Akiko gave Alicia a deep look: "You want to use yourself as bait and be taken to their stronghold by the other party." β
"I'm against it!" Anqi almost jumped when she heard this.
"Ann, la, la. Alicia waved her hand and put on a cute expression with a grin, "There won't be any danger, I'm still quite confident in the cuteness of my Lori face, and I should be able to deceive a lot of weird uncles." β
Everyone: "......"
Sure enough, it's three sentences that don't leave the industry? You don't feel at ease if you don't make a funny atmosphere in a good tense atmosphere, right!?
"It should be okay to use a photo in a newspaper to explain it to a soldier. The first to recover analyzed, "But Angel and I will definitely enter Oaktin Town with you, how will we get out then?"
"By air, of course. Little Lori pointed to the sky, "It's a very exciting free air experience, don't refuse." β
Tsuko: "...... Is there an insurance seller around here?"
Alicia: "Why do you ask?"
Tsukiko: "Your expression reminds me of the black-hearted merchants of the Roland Empire. β
Alicia (crying): "Sister Tsumiko, you're too much!"
Tsuneko (moe): "Okay, now I'm sure you're going to be able to get hurt as bait." β
=============================I'm the =============================== of the dividing line that I was cute
A run-down inn in a remote town would have been a great place for martial arts films, gunfights, and detective films. But if the proprietor was a thin old man who was so dry that one thought he was an undead, and the old man carried an oil lamp that flickered in the breeze, and the wooden floor creaked in the leaky hallway, there were no other guests in the whole gloomy inn......
Live out of a horror movie scene!
Alicia thought it wouldn't be strange that even Trins, who was shivering in front, bumped into Sadako's sister in a sailor's suit around the cornerβoh no, it was Sister Suiko.
Uh, it feels so cheap. How about changing to a black long straight black figure who also wears a sailor suit and likes to give to others with a red rope?
Swept away the nonsensical thoughts in her mind, Alicia carefully looked at the old man leading the way in front of her. The Eye of Truth made it clear that this half-cut old guy was actually a level 4 thief.
[Sure enough, it has become the base camp of the thieves.] γ
"Your room is here, my lord. The old man stopped at a door, "Your guard's room is around." Girls, your room is on the 3rd floor. Please come with me. β
Ignoring Trins' chattering teeth and complaining about the room, the old man took Alicia and the others to the third floor and settled in a room, and then left.
"That idiot!" said Alicia, puffing up the hard pillow on the bed and knocking it around, as if the pillow was Trins, "what kind of stinky shelves are there in this kind of poor country, people say two things like 'I am the commander-in-chief of the Karinga garrison', 'I have come here to hunt down the thieves', 'In order not to disturb the rest of the townspeople, my army is camped in the mountains', all of them poured out!"
Angel was also speechless for a while, but she was quite calm: "Then Alicia, what are you going to do next?"
"Let the mercury lamp send you back to the station at once. The other party is likely to launch a surprise attack on the army overnight!" said Alicia as she opened the window and motioned for the mercury lamp in the sky to come down, "Sister Anqi, you have to organize your defenses." This force is our trump card in defeating the thieves, and we must not suffer heavy losses!"
"I see. Angel saluted Lori, "Be careful, too." β
The mercury lamp flapped its wings and landed on the windowsill: "There is no one nearby now, hurry up if you want to leave!"
Angel and Tsuiko stepped forward, and were grabbed by the chairman left and right, and then ......
A small puppet of less than a meter carried two human girls into the sky, like a real aerial bomb hanging under a toy airplane, the situation was so strange that the little Lori who watched them go away hurriedly jumped on the bed and rolled back and forth without discipline.
