Chapter 79 on

"She went in..." A worker-like man pretended to be tickling and quietly said to his companion who was sitting at a stall eating with his back to him, "What should we do?"

"Don't worry about her, she will definitely go back to her tent anyway..." The soldier dressed up as he didn't look back, and still kept his back to the laborer and continued to pretend to eat, and asked quietly: "Have the explosives been buried?"

"No, the elf hasn't left yet. She seems to be asleep inside. I can't find a chance to get close to their tent." The laborer moved his body and turned his back to the soldiers and said calmly: "But don't worry, the opportunity will be available soon. The large army on the elf is about to retreat, and the noble army that has been chasing us before is also about to retreat. It seems that they are a little broken by the monsters inside. It seems that they are very tired now, so this is a good thing for us..."

"Yes, we must seize this opportunity to kill them to avenge Mr. Feda and his sacrificed companions..." The seemingly young soldier's voice became lower and lower, and he seemed to be very emotional.

"Mr. Feda? He is not dead yet. Are we not going to rescue him?" The laborer didn't care about the passion of the soldiers, but he heard a hint of madness from the soldiers' words. This seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with his previous state. He had just discovered that the two remaining survivors seemed to have conflicts in their fundamental purpose, so he asked with great concern: "Isn't our purpose to rescue Mr. Feda?"

"Fedda?" The soldier's tone seemed very disdainful, but he still kept calm and did not show his expression. Then he lowered his voice and said to the laborer: "No more, you have seen it there before, but do you think he can still save him? These despicable Eastern barbarians have already tortured him to such an inhumane form. Moreover, under his command, we not only failed to complete the task, but also suffered such great losses. You should be very clear that the value of a magician is much higher than that of our entire team. In this kind of failure, he would go back even if he was caught... There is only one result waiting for him..."

After listening to the soldiers' analysis, the laborer stopped refuting. He continued to pretend to be able to pick up the items in his luggage, but at this moment he was suffering from some unhealthable torture. After all, from speaking out, he and the soldiers came from different places, and he was brought up by Feida from the bottom of the house, so compared to the noble who had never met before, he believed Feida more. The soldiers were from the army, so he might be more inclined to the nobleman...

The laborer himself was actually very clear that he had tried his best to approach the camp where Feida was imprisoned, and by chance he witnessed the appearance of the once wise leader Feida after being captured. It was simply a tragic situation that could not be described in one or two sentences, but at least one thing is certain, that is, Feida is still alive. As for the other captured people, they have been executed by the alien woman and the magicians of Algasburg. It is said that the bodies have been burned and destroyed in a concentrated manner, and there is no residue left.

Unfortunately, this news was not a happy outcome for the two who survived the last, because they had only two choices, one was to rescue him, and the other was to silence him before they had any information... When the two who had survived before they could work together, he thought the soldier had chosen the former, but now it seems that he had chosen the latter from the beginning, and the laborer had a bad premonition, that is, he felt that the soldier was not trustworthy, and perhaps when the two men recovered from the middle of the process, he might... no, he would definitely betray him, because at this time the laborer had already begun to feel that the other party had some problems with his identity.

At this moment, the laborer even had the idea of ​​whether to defect, but soon he dispelled this unreliable idea. Because from the previous incident, you can see that the contradiction between the principality and the kingdom has long been irreconcilable, and both sides never show mercy to each other's intelligence personnel. Especially the failure of this attack directly exposed some new problems. It seems that their target person, the strange alien woman, has considerable power here, and the little girl who caused the turmoil in their previous attacks was still her daughter. From Feda's state, it can be seen that if the laborer surrendered, the consequences would probably not be much better than Feda, who was half dead.

Just as the laborer was still struggling and hesitating, the soldier threw down a few coins first and stood up, and whispered in the laborer's ear when he turned around and left: "I'll deal with Feda, you go to bury explosives and kill that alien woman! Remember, only when we successfully complete this matter, we can go back and pay for the crime. I'll wait for your signal there first, don't let me wait too long."

After the soldier finished speaking, he quickly pushed the laborer away. Then he suddenly pretended to be surprised and rushed up to hold the lying laborer and instantly changed his expression and tone and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you just now... are you okay?"

Although the worker had undergone a long period of disguise training, he felt his immaturity when facing the soldier. For some reason, the worker began to fear this guy who was younger than him but better than him. Moreover, he also felt that in addition to the commanding tone, the words just now were mixed with a hint of threat...

The worker was a little panicked, but soon turned into a "real" lower-level worker. He apologized humbly to the other party who was a soldier class, and then quickly fled here in a panic with his bag. The soldier looked at the other party's back as he was away, and the corners of his mouth were inadvertently curled upwards.

"Hey, Zebu, are you okay?" At this time, a group of patrol soldiers came over, and the leading soldier found that the soldier who had just knocked down someone else was his companion, so he hurried over and asked about the reason.

"It's okay, I accidentally knocked down a worker just now... Why are you patrolling? Where are the city guards in Welsk?" The soldiers, known as "Zebu", patted each other's shoulders very familiarly, as if they had a good relationship with each other.

"I don't know why, all the city guards were mobilized. It is said that another group of troops would soon retreat, and the remaining people would stay here for one night before returning to the upper camp." As the soldiers said, they found that Zebu handed over a rough paper cigarette, and the soldiers did not hesitate, so they naturally took the cigarette and put it in their mouths.

"Are they troops there? They look very strong..." Zebu asked casually while taking out a small prop to light a cigarette for the other party.

"I don't know... they don't have any signs on their bodies and do not carry military flags... But..." The soldier leader took a sudden breath of tobacco and became a little intoxicated. Then he sprayed out the thick smoke from his lungs. After enjoying it for a while, he continued: "In the entire principality... the only one who meets their foreign trade is the only group of barbarians in the Greville War Chapter. I guess they are reinforcements from Lavender."

"Ravend?" Zebu lit a cigarette for himself with a look of surprise, and then enjoyed it like a cigarette ghost before asking casually: "Didn't the nobles of Ravend are dissatisfied with the Duke? Why would they send troops to support here?"

"You know what the nobles are thinking, but you're right. I'm curious about this. After all, the Duke's redeemment of Greville had already spread all over the country some time ago. It was everyone who saw that the two of them were very furious..." The soldier leader continued to taste the rough paper cigarette without caring and said, "Actually, I guess this group of people was the one who made the Viscount come and disgusted the Duke. Have you noticed it? They were both sad when they came back. It is said that many people died in it, but Ravend's side did not seem to have any effect. This means that they did not work hard in the battle inside at all. From the point of view of their rush to retreat now, I'm afraid they felt that they had fulfilled their obligations, so they should pat their butts and leave."

"Is that right..." Zebu also took a big sip of cigarettes, as if he didn't care about the problem just now, and was still immersed in the pleasure of swallowing clouds and spitting mists with the soldier leader. However, the pleasure immersed in Zebu seemed to be completely different from that of the soldier leader, because he was actually more interested in the information just now than this inferior to that of the tobacco.

But it is also a pity that no matter which pleasure, it actually did not last long, because although the two of them had only taken a few sips, this cheap paper cigarette was not resistant to smoking, so soon they threw the remaining cigarette butts on the ground and stomped them out, and then they planned to leave. Before leaving, the leader of the soldier suddenly remembered something, so he quickly grabbed Zebu's shoulder and said, "By the way, Zebu, I just met a guard commander with the same surname Zebu in the camp there. Are you two relatives?"

"Zebu?!" Hearing this, Zebu suddenly became nervous, but soon he relaxed his nerves and waved his hand with a helpless expression, saying, "I don't know, you know, we were suddenly pulled here on the way to the city of Wilkes, so I don't know the people there at all. But I think the person you are talking about is probably the descendant of the main family of Trikra City. I am just a declining side branch, and people will not like me at all..."

"Don't be discouraged..." The soldier leader patted her shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Go and meet her. I think he is a good person. And I heard that his actual position is quite high. It seems that he was temporarily demoted because of something. I guess he came here just to gilt. When he returns, he will almost be reinstated. So it's better for you to go over and meet her. If you don't say anything else, at least he has such a good reputation. I think you should also promote yours for the sake of the same clan..."

Zebu pretended to be impatient and waved at the soldier leader, then said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, okay, I understand, I will give you a good word, I will go later..." After that, Zebu stuffed the remaining cigarettes on his body and the ignition device to the soldier leader, and the other party no longer paid attention to this matter.

After the two separated, Zebu quickly returned to his camp, but he did not plan to see the brother, nor did he return to his tent. Instead, he walked to a corner with no one cautiously, then pretended to tidy up his shoes and squatted down and took out a small package from the corner. Then he quickly packed the package and walked out of the camp.

Based on the information collected before, Zebu analyzed where the camp was in a state of no man's land at this moment, and then tightened his nerves and pretended to walk to an area for placing debris. After carefully confirming that there was no one nearby, Zebu opened the package and took out the things inside.

There was another oil paper wrapped in the dirty linen. When Zebu carefully unpacked the wrapping line, several mysterious metal parts were exposed to the air, and there was another small bottle protected by soft cotton cloth among the parts pile.

Zebu carefully spliced ​​the metal parts in the package together. Even this skillful technique also shows how familiar Zebu is with the pile of parts. It didn't take long for a small crossbow that was only a circle larger than his palm appeared in Zebu's hand. This was a small, worried and fierce mechanical crossbow. Whether in terms of style or structure, it was not like something developed by the world itself, but Zebu still skillfully manipulated it and confirmed that there was no problem with the crossbow. At this moment, there were still a few parts left in the package, but from the appearance, these long sticks could actually splice three sharp crossbow arrows in the city.

Zebu picked up the small bottle wrapped in cotton cloth, then carefully opened the lid and inserted the assembled nail-shaped arrow into the bottle to contaminate the liquid. It was obvious that the liquid in this bottle would definitely not be an ordinary liquid, but a bottle of special high-efficiency poison, which was also a guarantee that Zebu specially prepared to deal with accidents before departure.

Just like the previous laborer's guess, Zebu's identity is indeed a problem, because he was not ordered by His Highness, but he was only given the entrustment of a certain important minister around His Highness. The members were only himself and another unlucky man who had long died. The purpose of the two was to lurk in Feida's team to secretly monitor and deal with the aftermath.

It seems that the great figures above had expected that the experienced Taoist Feida would fail here in the morning, and everyone also felt that His Highness suddenly paid some attention to the transition of the Principality. As for the reason, no one except His Highness himself could understand why he was so persistent in this remote corner of the Principality of Michel, which was also a problem that everyone was extremely troubled.

Now what Zebu is a little confused about is the three arrows in his hand. In fact, Zebu didn't care about this before setting off, but now it is coincidentally that the people who are still alive in the team at the end, including the half-dead Feida, there are indeed three arrows, and the number of arrows is only three, which seems to indicate the end of the three of them. This helpless coincidence still makes Zebu, who was originally full of confidence, feel the joke from fate.

But Zebu was not discouraged because he was not a guy who believed in fate. After calming down for a while, he buried the remaining packages and empty bottles on the spot, then hid the robot crossbow with arrows installed on his body and whistled and walked away from the place. His purpose was to imprison Feida's camp, with the purpose of killing people. Zebu believed that Feida's old slip-on would not let go just now, so it was still too late to rush to go, but he was suddenly tired of this underground world without sunlight, so he accelerated his pace with a little anxiety.

The original plan was that Zebu planned to wait until the laborer detonated the explosives and killed Feda in the chaos, and then he was looking for an opportunity to destroy the laborer, so he could continue to lurk here and wait for his departure safely. But the plan could never keep up with the changes. Now he was very worried about the accidents here, and he had accumulated a lot of key information here. He needed to report it to the liaison officer outside immediately.

Just as Zebu was rushing to the way to assassinate Feda, the worker on the other side of the camp also encountered some very difficult problems.

You should know that during the past period, all members, including Ferda, wanted to sneak into Erica's tent and find out. After all, their weapon passes were either stored in magic or piled up in their tents at will. But until Federda and others were caught, Erica's tent had a considerable degree of protection near him, which made Ferda and others unable to start. But today's situation seemed to ease, most of the elves had evacuated, and the magicians in Algasburg were also in their own rest period. As for the scouts who had been wandering in the dark before, they were nowhere to be seen, because they should be packing their luggage in their own camp, so the guards around Erica's tent suddenly came out free of charge.

The worker originally planned to surround the tent to place explosives, but when he came here, he found that there was no one patrolling here. The worker easily got into Erica's tent without any effort. What surprised him was that the tent was really full of all kinds of guns, weapons and all kinds of strange equipment. At this moment, the worker was as excited as a mouse falling into a honeypot. He packed the explosives at will.

After throwing it on a table, he began to pick up all kinds of guns that could be seen everywhere without hesitation. Although he wanted to emptie the place directly, because his bag was too small, he finally chose to only take those small guns, but not just various guns. Some things that looked small but felt very important did not escape his plunder. Even the candies on the table that were used as snacks for Ruby were captured by him.

The laborer who was immersed in the pleasure of plunder seemed to have forgotten the matter of placing explosives, but when he remembered this, he realized that it was over, because the conversation between Erica and Diana had already spread outside the tent. At this time, the panicked laborer who was stimulated had already blank in his mind, but he still reflected at the fastest speed and noticed that Erica and the others were already standing at the door of the tent. At the moment when the curtain of the tent was lifted, he quickly rushed to the position of the explosive bag and pulled the lead that directly detonated.
