Chapter 54 on(1/2)
About an hour later, in the material storage area behind the camp, a soldier with whip marks on his back found a merchant selling groceries and bought some wound medicine from him, while chatting angrily with the merchant. After chatting for a long time, the surrounding businessmen were very itchy, but they were too embarrassed to lean over and eavesdrop, fearing that someone would inadvertently interrupt the soldier's words. After the soldier left, all the surrounding businessmen came over and wanted to Ask for some information from this businessman.
The reason why the merchants were so nervous was simply that the camp suddenly issued a blockade order. All merchants who came down from above were trapped here and were not allowed to leave. However, anyone who behaved suspiciously would be taken to the camp without any reason. During the interrogation, the uneasy businessmen were very eager to know what happened in the camp and why they were blocked from leaving the camp. Although the previous soldier did not directly explain the reason for blocking the camp, he still The businessman's questioning here and there revealed some one-sided information.
"Underground cave?? There are a lot of monsters?" A businessman selling food couldn't help being shocked, and looked nervously in the direction of the camp.
"So isn't it very dangerous here?" Another businessman asked tremblingly.
"It must be very dangerous. It is said that the soldier just now accidentally made a noise while exploring there, which almost attracted the monsters, so he was whipped." The grocer lowered his voice and said: "We have to find a way. Just leave here quickly..."
"I want to leave too, but they have blocked the road, and it's Lavender's group. They won't pay attention to our request at all," another businessman said.
"Did the people from Wellsk City have a falling out with the people from Lavender? Whose side did the soldier just now belong to?"
"The city guard of Wellsk City, I just heard him complaining that Lavender's people didn't go down by themselves but forced the people of Welsk City to explore inside..."
While the businessmen were talking to each other, no one noticed that an inconspicuous businessman quietly left the circle. The businessman quietly hid in the shadows, and then scurried in unhurriedly. We started discussing with a few workers-looking people in a hidden corner.
"Good news...really great news..." The businessman sat aside and stretched out his hand to hold his fine mustache and asked one of the soldiers who looked like: "Is there any way you can sneak in?"
"Mr. Feda, it's impossible. Ordinary people are now prohibited from entering the camp at will. Even us 'city guards' are not allowed to enter at will. It is said that the command of the camp is now with the woman in Algasburg. In your hands, those knights must have been seized of power because of the incident just now."
"Seize power? Why? There was no loss before..." Feida suddenly thought of something while he was talking. Then he thought for a while and asked: "That little girl is not dead yet, right?"
"Yes, it is said to be healing." the soldier replied.
"That's right. I guess that little girl is an important person..."
"Sir, do you think it is the so-called God's Chosen One..."
"Do you believe that kind of thing?" Feida smiled disdainfully and then continued: "I'm afraid that little girl has a close relationship with Algasburg, which can also explain why she still has a strong relationship after being cursed.
The reason why he is not dead. And it is also because of this that the people from Algasburg seized power to control the camp. There has been a rift between them... Or maybe there was no trust between them from the beginning..."
Before Feida could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a large group of carriages and horses nearby. He quickly ordered the soldiers to go out to investigate the situation. After a while, the soldiers brought back some surprising news.
"Supply convoy?!" Feida raised his eyes excitedly after hearing the report.
"Yes, it is said that the reinforcements requested by Algasburg were sent out before the camp was blocked. Except for some supplies, all the convoys were Welsk city guards." The soldier replied excitedly.
"Good opportunity!" Feida quickly stood up and took off his coat, and quickly ordered: "Hurry up and get me a set of guard clothes, and we can sneak in together."
"Sir, you don't need to go in personally, just let us go." A worker stood up and said.
"No, I can't miss such a good opportunity, and I probably won't come out after I go in..." After finishing speaking, Feida thought for a while, then pulled out a big baggage from the corner and handed it to several people.
The worker said solemnly: "After we enter, you should quickly arrange these things according to the plan. Remember, no matter whether I can come out or not, as soon as there is another commotion in the camp, I will immediately destroy this place and trap these people underground."
!”
Before they could agree, Feida immediately turned to a figure in the corner and said, "Put a spell on us! If we are caught, we will activate the spell immediately!"
As soon as Feida said this, the others immediately stood up in fear, but before they could speak, they saw a burst of black powder floating from the shadows and covering everyone in it. Except for Feida and a few people in the crowd,
Except for the soldier, everyone else was very panicked, and two people subconsciously wanted to cover their mouths and noses, but the people who made these actions had a sharp knife pierced through their chests the next moment. The remaining people were trembling.
He stood there, not daring to make any more unnecessary movements, and could only let the black powder be sucked into his body.
"Go and hide these rubbish, don't let them ruin our plan." Feida looked at the corpses lying on the ground expressionlessly and said coldly: "We have been involved since the moment we were recruited by His Highness.
Be prepared to sacrifice. You people should do the same. You won't forget the promise you made before leaving home, right? Your family has always been under the care of His Highness. Even if you can't go back, what will happen to them in the future?
You will still live a life without worries about food and clothing. His Highness will not lie to you, and there is no need, so what you have to do is to dedicate everything you have so that you can be worthy of His Highness's gift."
The rest of the people stood there without saying a word, and there was even a guy who was taking a deep breath desperately. After the soldiers dragged away the bodies on the ground, the atmosphere gradually relaxed. Feida glanced around at the other people.
After reacting, he turned towards the shadow and said, "You should know what to do, right?"
"You don't need to remind me." A hoarse response came from the shadows, and then a pale young man walked out of it. Wearing a suit of extremely ill-fitting clothes, he took two steps forward to bring Feida's
He bowed deeply in front of him, then showed a sad smile and said: "I will go in with you."
"You?" Feida seemed very surprised by the young man's answer. He was even a little wary when the young man came out, as if they were not traveling together.
"Don't worry, I care about the existence of the healing spell, so I want to see it with my own eyes." The young man stretched out his wrinkled arm and scratched his cheek, then glanced at the others and continued.
Said: "I will obey your order. After all, our people have sworn allegiance to His Highness, so you don't have to worry about me rebelling, and even if you don't, I will sacrifice myself after you are exposed. After all... I can follow
If someone with that kind of ability competes... it's worth dying."
The young man had a young and handsome face but said his purpose in an old voice that was very different from his age. Feida thought quickly and nodded without saying more. He turned his head and ordered the soldiers to continue.
After finding a set of soldier clothes, he took the remaining people into a deeper corner to change clothes, but the young man continued to rub his smooth chin and sneered as he looked in the direction of the camp.
"Hehehe... interesting... Algasburg... really deserves its reputation... hehe...
After another half an hour, the rear gate of the camp slowly opened. The long-awaited supply convoy outside bustled into the camp, but the soldiers behind who were used to supplement their combat power did not want to enter.
Inside, they were still standing at the entrance of the camp. At this moment, Aurora and I and others were watching their commotion from the inside of the camp and couldn't help but frown.
"Why don't they come in?" Aurora asked in confusion as she looked at the soldiers outside the door.
"There was a little accident." I looked at the businessmen in front of the soldiers and said helplessly: "The scouts just came to report that the soldiers had 'accidentally' inquired from the businessmen outside the camp.
There was news about the underground cave, but the content was exaggerated, saying that entering it would lead to death."
"Oh, I understand, this is to encourage the soldiers to mutiny." Aurora looked at the group of soldiers with a half-smile and said: "Anyway, the thieves have already sneaked in, so we might as well just take action here."
"It's a pity... It feels a bit wasteful to not be able to use such a large magic circle." I subconsciously glanced at the open space behind me. At this time, the carriages that had just driven in were parked nearby.
"Don't worry, that magic doesn't consume much magic power." Diana, who was standing on the other side of me, looked at the group of soldiers in front of me and said: "There is a strange guy inside, and the aura on his body doesn't look like he is alive.
People...you should pay more attention."
"Not a living person?" I asked in surprise.
"Since you said that, you can't be wrong. I'm afraid that person is a conjurer, just a half-dead thing. It's normal for the aura to be weird." After finishing speaking, Aurora quickly took out a silver dagger from her pocket.
The necklace stayed on her neck. Then she nodded to the magicians nearby, and then they each took out a similar necklace and put it on.
"What is that?" I touched the necklace on her chest with my hand. Surprisingly, I felt an abnormal warmth the moment my fingers touched the necklace.
"Amulet to prevent dirt." Aurora waved the ring-shaped necklace in front of me and then quickly hid it under her clothes.
"Prevention..." I turned to look at the other soldiers, and then asked worriedly: "Don't you need to get one for them?"
"No need." Aurora pointed at the Lavender giant axemen who were quietly gathering near the side door and said: "The people in the corps have their own coping methods, so we don't need to do anything extra. The knights also have similar things. As for ordinary people,
Soldiers... let them retreat."
"Hmm... That's fine. It also saves the trouble of having too many people and putting them away." I nodded and turned to a guard behind me and said, "Let your people surround them from behind."
After the guards left, I looked at Marco and Miles on the other side behind me. I had asked Liz to go over and notify them before, so they were ready at this time. All the knights were standing in front of me fully armed.
Behind them. In addition to them, Chris's crossbowmen and rangers also quietly mobilized a small group. Their role is to hide near the cargo box near the back door of the camp in order to follow the chaos and incite the chaos.
.
I checked the equipment on me and then led everyone towards the door. At this moment, my main weapon had been changed to a P90, which was the P90 TR I used for Diana before, and the ammunition was all
There are not many SS190 subsonic bullets left. The reason why I chose this kind of warhead is for no other reason than to use up the inventory. After all, I bought so many SS90 armor-piercing bullets from Hex before but they were reserved for other monsters.
The special warheads are too wasteful to use here. In addition, I also carried a few M84 shock bombs just in case. I had a feeling that they would come in handy against these vicious "terrorists".
By the way, both Liz and Puffy were crouched elsewhere with sniper rifles, and I specifically ordered them not to shoot the enemy's vital parts unless absolutely necessary.
When the soldiers on the opposite side saw us coming out fully armed, they immediately intensified the confusion. Some timid guys even began to actively discard their weapons and wanted to surrender. It seemed that in their eyes we were here to clear out the suppressive team of deserters, because they knew very well
What I just did was basically equivalent to disobeying military orders.
"Quiet!" Marco took the lead and walked to the front and ordered to the soldiers: "Everyone discard their weapons and squat on the spot!"
After Marco's order was given, the knights also drew their swords and came to the front with their shields raised. Some soldiers panicked and wanted to escape, but of course when they looked back, they found that the rear had already formed a formation at some point.
Several rows of Lavender soldiers, their swords, axes, bows and javelins were all pointed at the soldiers, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
"Sir Knight, we..." At this time, a leading soldier walked out of the queue tremblingly, as if he wanted to explain something. I took a closer look and found that the other person was an acquaintance. In my mind, his name should be Mark.
It was the city guard commander whom I had met several times before.
"No need to say anything! Follow the order! Otherwise you will be purged as rebels!" Miles also came out and shouted at him. It was rare to see this young knight behave so strongly.
Commander Mark seemed to have a very low status, and after Miles finished shouting, he immediately dropped the spear in his hand and squatted on the ground. Although I noticed that his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, but fortunately he
He is not a hot-blooded idiot, so since he is one of the few "acquaintances" I have, it would be better to give him some gifts to appease him after the incident is over.
As the soldier commander set an example, some of the soldiers behind Mark also took the initiative to obey Marco's instructions. However, there were still some seemingly unruly guys who clenched their weapons and looked coldly at this side, with expressions on their faces.
They looked like they wanted to resist, and I even noticed that some businessmen in the rear were quietly making some small moves. I knew that they must want to incite these hesitant soldiers to resist, but their behavior was simply overestimating their capabilities, because
Aurora also noticed them, and then she stepped forward, raised the long staff in her hand, and then slammed it on the ground. Then the merchants behind were pushed to the ground by the sudden uplift of the mound of soil.
Before they could react, several Algasburg magicians who were mixed with Lavender's team at the rear suddenly trapped them with magic. This was the first time I saw this magic, a bunch of glowing chains.
It is particularly conspicuous in this area that is not too bright, and it looks really cool. Of course, I also know that this magic is not fake, because I know this magic from the way those businessmen were trapped on the ground and could not move.
Definitely more effective than real metal chains.
Facing the sudden attack from the rear, the remaining soldiers gradually gave up their resistance. After a while, all the soldiers were squatting on the ground. Then it was our turn. I took
Diana and Aurora walked forward together. I nervously raised my gun and pointed it at everyone in front of me, and then quietly waited for Diana and Aurora's inspection.
The inspection method they used was a temporary plan, because when we first started implementing the plan, we were informed by Ruby that she smelled a foul smell coming from outside the camp, and Desmo said this
It has something to do with spells. Through hard talk, I finally got some clues from Desmo, which means that these thieves seem to be planning to use spells to cause chaos again, but the method of judging whether they are contaminated by spells is different.
To be continued...
