22. Spy (no need(2/2)

Luo Ke is right. Although most of the enemy troops have been attracted to the west side of the city wall now, there must be a large number of troops used for vigilance in the city.

Now it's time for the thief tool to appear. The girl has harvested the rope into a ball and hung it on her shoulders, tied a short sword to her waist, and held a stick in one hand. Then she whispered to Himemura Ryuichi, "Come here to help."

"To be a pedal again?"

"No, there is a simpler and easier way."

After a conversation, Himemura Ryuichi quickly accepted the girl's idea and nodded in agreement.

"Then give it a try!"

The girl took a few steps back, and Himemura Ryuichi stood facing the girl with his back against the city wall.

It seemed that he was about to take action, Luo Ke watched the two nervously. He saw Himura Ryu crossing his hands and putting them in front of his body to form a slightly lower posture. Seeing Himura Ryuichi was ready, the girl rushed towards him. When he was about to step on Himura Ryuichi's hands, he took advantage of the situation to call the jumping force in his whole body and stretched his hands fully.

Just like an actor performing a light acrobatics, the actors usually use reaction forces to fly high into the sky and flip somersaults. But on this occasion, Ryuichi Himemura almost straightened the girl, and a figure jumped lightly onto the city wall, and then quickly threw the rope from it.

Himemura Ryuichi stared at the silence of Luo Ke, grabbed the rope and climbed up quickly. It was hard to believe that his majestic body could be so fast. Luo Ke is worthy of being a bandit and rushed up from behind.

Although there were spring fires everywhere on the city wall, the battle seemed to be quite effective, and no one noticed the figures of the two people who were busy climbing the wall.

I finally climbed to the city wall and looked around. There was a corridor under my feet.

This is not an ordinary city wall aisle. It can be passed side by side by side at the same time, and it has both alert and passage functions. This kind of passage is provided on the inside of the city wall, connecting the towers in all parts of the city wall.

The three of them quickly squatted down and looked around alertly. Several towers were built on one side of their left hand, but they were all far apart. In comparison, the towers on their right hand were much closer.

The girl bent over and touched the tower on her right hand silently, then suddenly jumped out in a very uncautionary way. The guard post in the tower couldn't react for a moment to what was going on.

Because it was rumored that the King's Army had signs of transferring positions, most of the soldiers were transferred out of the city to reconnaise the enemy's movements. The tower became an empty decoration for a while, leaving only five guard posts.

"Who?!"

Just as one of them was about to scream, the girl had already punched the soldier with a lightning speed.

Although the other four were shocked by the sudden situation, they still knew their responsibilities. They tried to repel the invaders or wanted to ring the alarm bell to notify others to come for support, but the girl's movements were too rapid.

In the blink of an eye, three people fell down.

"There is a spy..." The last man barely shouted, but before he could make a sound, he took a heavy blow, and then he became soft and weak all over.

It is really a lightning-fast instant skill. Luo Ke and Long Yi who rushed over from behind did not even have a chance to take action.

"Go quickly!" Observing the steps leading down to the castle, the girl said briefly and powerfully.

The two men also followed her silently.

Although the castle is directly connected to it, what will happen next? For the girl: it is like a gamble. Where to set fire? The assassination of the two company captains was before setting fire.

Or after setting fire? How can I get out after setting fire? The specific details are still unresolved now.

Fortunately, the three of them went down the steps and came to the city without encountering other patrol soldiers. Just as they were about to hide into the darkness, they heard someone's voice slowly approaching, as if they were coming to replace the soldiers.

So the three of them who had just come down quickly returned to the tower just now and found a place to hide and lie in ambush.

Long Yi and Luo Ke leaned closely on both sides of the population. The soldiers who were swaying up did not feel anything unusual and continued to walk in and were suddenly attacked from behind.

"Wow!"

"who……"

Before they could scream, the soldiers were all dealt with and lay on the ground in a row.

At the same time, the girl looked at the situation outside and confirmed the current location of the three of them.

Next to it is the city. This huge building is towering, and it looks dim and depressing under the illumination of the spring fires everywhere. Unlike the outer city that is full of clamor, this place is a completely different scene. The quiet and solemn atmosphere makes everything cage in a solemn atmosphere. It seems that this kind of confidence is shown to the world that no matter what kind of attacks it is, it will never fall.

Then he turned his eyes back to the ground, windmill towers that grind and store grains, livestock houses, stables, kitchens, and barracks for ordinary soldiers... It seemed that there were many places for arson.

No, there seems to be a better place. Turning your eyes to the foot of the city wall, you can see large pieces of firewood piled up like mountains. If that thing burns, there will undoubtedly be a panic and riot in the city.

"Ryuichi." The girl shouted in a low voice, "Where do you think the two company captains who came from Lasyavi will live on?"

Ryuichi Himura used his chin to signal the highest level of the city in front of him.

"I guess it's there. The safest and best-visited place, and it's very close to the lord's residence."

"So that's it." Everything seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

"If a raging fire comes from there, you can see it from a long distance!"

Hearing this sentence, Luo Ke's face changed drastically.

"Little girl, are you really going to sneak in there?"

You know, the difficulty of climbing over a city wall is completely different from sneaking into the city.

"Don't do it, don't stop..." Himemura Ryuichi ridiculed.

"It's already hard to ride a tiger now."

There is no special emotion in the girl's voice.

The first one to discover the change were the soldiers who came out of the tower through the passage.

After hearing the rumors that the Kings Army began to divert, they stared at the city walls for such signs. However, even if the Kings Army really crossed the river and moved secretly, they would not be so stupid that they would blatantly ignite the lighting at night. In addition, there should be a considerable distance, which was difficult for human eyes to confirm. Just as they retracted their futile gaze, they could not help but scare them to death.

They saw thick smoke rising in the city.

And it is not just one place. Whether it is the pile of firewood, the windmill tower used to store grain, or the kitchen, white smoke is emitted, and you can even see the red tongue of fire that has already spitted out.

Things are not good!

"It's a fire!"

The sentries shouted in surprise, and at this time the soldiers on the ground also noticed the flames.

Is there somewhere that burned? Why did it catch fire? Perhaps because it was difficult to grasp the situation in the dark, soldiers holding torches ran around and messed up.

Hearing the chaos outside, a group of generals hurriedly ran out of the castle. They shouted loudly, directing the soldiers to put out the fire as soon as possible. Fortunately, there was a river not far away. The soldiers quickly opened the city gate and rushed to the river beach, not to mention that they were holding water-drawing tools in everyone's hands.

The massive fire extinguishing campaign kicked off.

If you are attacked by the King's Army at this time, you will naturally not be able to support it for a moment. Because everyone has this uneasiness and fear in their hearts, every soldier is desperately rushing to put out the fire.

On the other hand, as Ryuichi Himemura speculated, the senior generals who were at the core of the war led by the city lord were indeed staying at the highest level of the city. Since the number of troops was twice that of the enemy, the city lord was very at ease in the bed to rest. However, because the sudden fire broke out in the city at this moment, his good dream had to be interrupted, because the report of the fire in the city quickly reached the city lord.

The city lord decided not to be out of loyalty or comrades-in-arms, but to follow the reformists on the basis of measuring interests. Although the King's Army and the Reformers invited him to help almost at the same time, considering that the King's Army still had nothing at the moment, it would be too unwise to support the king rashly. Moreover, once he offended the reformists who now control Rasyavi, he would inevitably suffer endless troubles.

For this calculation, the city lord decided to pretend to be inclined to the king before the king's army approached, numb them, and then attack them again.

The reformists were very happy about this. In order to stop the King's Army from advancing, or to kill the King, a famous guards regiment was sent to assist. They promised the city lord that if everything went smoothly, the dazzling reward would be no problem.

This generous promise alone has already made the city lord fascinated and devoted himself to it.

The city lord, who was dreaming of getting promoted and making money, was awakened ruthlessly. When he heard this bad news, he immediately jumped up.

The captain of the guard company sent from Lasyavi also had the same experience. After they were dressed neatly in a panic, they even spared the guard's communication and rushed directly into the city lord's room.

"My Lord, what happened?"

"I'm so sorry to say this, it seems that there was a fire in the city."

"What?"

"Is it the enemy's sabotage?"

"No, no." The city lord shook his head and said, "It is probably because the chef did not extinguish the fire when he was cooking. If a rocket was set from outside the city wall, it would not be possible to shoot into the city, and they would never be allowed to approach this level. It is just a small fire that can be extinguished immediately. Please rest assured, two sirs."

Although the city lord was full of anxiety and fear, he still tried hard to pretend to be a smile on his face.

The two company captains listened to his explanation silently. The city lord just looked at the soldiers who were busy in the city to put out the fire, and did not ask the Guards to help. The company captain understood that he was just a guest now, and he naturally had the responsibility to deal with the trouble caused by the owner's inattentiveness at home.

The city lord also walked downstairs, and the company captain who came up happened to pass by him. The news the two company captains seemed to be worse. There was indeed a fire in the city, but the problem was that several places along the city walls caught fire at the same time, which was a bit suspicious.

"What the hell is going on?"

One asked in confusion, the other looked unhappy.

"This is definitely not a small accident in the kitchen, but the enemy outside the city cannot create such a big name. Could it be... Could it be that there are secretly communicating with the enemy in this city?"

"Well, very likely."

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel that this seemingly solid city is not stable. A traitor hiding around me is holding in the city like a fool. The risk is too great, and if you are not careful, you will easily be cut off from the retreat.

"But we haven't confronted the enemy yet! Without a single arrow... it's inevitable..."

One of them was just complaining. Although he wanted to confirm the details of the facts, the city was now in chaos. The ones stationed here were their guards company and the mixed troops of several other lords. It can be said that they were temporarily pieced together miscellaneous army gatherings.

What's worse is that although there are torches and fires, in this dark night without the moon, it is difficult to tell whose army is helping to put out the fire for a while, and only know that someone is constantly walking. If the enemy army pretends to be our army and approaches quietly, it is difficult to tell immediately.

In order to avoid being implicated, the two made a quick judgment and decided to immediately drive the guards stationed in the city to the river beach in full armed manner to prevent the enemy's night attack.

Now the enemy may have sneaked into the Rentaishi City, which is safer than defending the city and leaving the city to defend the river beach. What's more, the place you are staying at is the highest level of the castle. Although it is a good place to observe the overall trend, if there are about a hundred people who are fighting downstairs, it will be a desperate situation.

"Anyway, General Okbo, who has already obtained the famous general and is known as a powerful general, even the Osner Knights fell into the trap of the pseudo-kings and worked for him. If such a strange strategy was used to conduct a night attack, everything would be over."

"good!"

While talking, the two walked out with their followers. Just as they were about to go down the steps, they found a familiar figure standing in front of them.

"Two, long time no see you."

Although it was in the dim city, there were also rosin torches on the passage. Seeing the figure of the man under the flames and the greeting made the two of them stunned and stunned on the spot. They held their breath and even doubted whether there were any problems with their eyes and ears.
