The 3799th Chapter Hide and Seek (1)

The departure time was set for tomorrow, and Redbud's army still had to stay outside the city until the army set off tomorrow before setting out with the army of Dawn Castle. The military camp in Dawn City is limited, and in order to avoid unnecessary friction between the soldiers of the two armies, the redbuds were left outside the city. Oulu himself has no objection to this, and the camp is gradually quiet at this moment, after all, the night is already deep. Soldiers take a rest early in order to have enough energy to march tomorrow.

According to the plan of the two Sirs Oulu and Raffles, they planned to arrive at Sunset City within two days, and then besieged the city with absolute force to trap the enemy, slowly draining their resources and morale. This was the shadow of the two of them under Storm City before, unwilling to confront Allen head-on. Therefore, the next two days will be a big test for the soldiers of the army. If you lack physical strength or perseverance, you may fall behind.

On this peaceful and peaceful night, someone suddenly yelled: "Fire! Come quickly, the stable is on fire!"

There are a total of 200 war horses in the stables, 50 of which are first-class war horses. This time, in order to quickly transport the elite to the city of Sunset, Oulu deliberately took out these dozens of high-quality war horses that were carefully raised, so as to serve as mounts for the heavy infantry. If it was burned to death or frightened and lost, it would definitely be a big loss. Hearing the shout, the soldiers near the stables didn't even have time to put on their clothes. Everyone hurried out of the tent and ran towards the burning stables.

There were several fires in the stables for no reason, and many war horses were frightened and neighing uneasily. The soldiers hurriedly fetched water to put out the fire, and for a while, the camp near the stables was in chaos.

"what the hell?"

On the other side of the camp, a soldier stood on a metal bucket and tiptoed to look in the direction of the stables. A puff of black smoke has risen there, and it seems that the fire is not small.

"Come down, Pierce." An older soldier next to him called.

There are ten soldiers on duty at night in the nearby camp, and they are guarding the water source of the army. Hundreds of buckets of clean water here will be the nectar for the soldiers to quench their thirst on the road, and will be transported to the battlefield by the logistics force with the army tomorrow.

The old soldier was a small captain, and the young soldier didn't dare to disobey the captain's order and slipped off the bucket. Just about to say something, his face suddenly changed, and then he screamed: "Be careful behind you, Captain!"

"What?" The captain was startled, and suddenly a blade appeared from his chest. The hot blood from the heart is still dripping on the blade.

Pierce opened his mouth to shout, and a hand silently pressed his mouth. Then a blacked-out dagger was wiped across his neck, ending the young soldier's life. As for the position where drinking water is stored, all the guarding soldiers have been killed silently. The ones who killed them were Dark Blade soldiers. Several Dark Blades winked at each other and quickly dragged the body to the nearby woodland for burial. The other two changed into soldiers' uniforms and returned to the camp.

They took out a syringe-like tool, plunged its sharp point into the tin bucket, pressed their thumbs, and pressed the contents into the bucket. It was poison obtained from Roger, extracted from some kind of highly poisonous creature. The toxicity is violent and can quickly cause nerve paralysis, eventually leading to functional paralysis. Ordinary people will stop breathing within a minute after drinking the poisonous water.

After Darkblade threw the poison into these buckets, not long after, a group of soldiers came to hand over the poison. Seeing the disguised Darkblade warrior, a squad leader asked, "Where are Laurin and the others?"

The Darkblade warrior lowered his head, hesitated to answer, and just looked towards the woods behind the camp. The captain scolded: "Is this guy slacking off and smoking again?"

"I have to tell the general to go tomorrow, that's fine, leave this place to us."

From the beginning to the end, the captain did not see the faces of the two soldiers clearly. With a careless wave of his hand, he let the Dark Blade warriors leave, but he didn't know that the previous guarding team had all been buried in the woods behind them.

The fire in the stables was finally extinguished, but at least half of the dozens of high-quality war horses died. Instead of being burned to death, their throats were slit with sharp instruments. Apparently someone killed them before setting the fire. Oulu was furious about this, and thoroughly investigated the entire army, vowing to find the instigator. Naturally, there was no result in doing so, it just kept the soldiers awake all night in vain.

After tossing all night to no avail, Oulu had to give up. On the second day, set out with Raffles' army. This coalition army of nearly 2,000 people marched out of the territory in mighty force, heading straight for Sunset City. Everything went smoothly, and the speed of the march was not delayed much because of the accident that happened last night. Except for Oulu's heavy infantry, which fell behind the main team because of the loss of their horses, they were not thrown away.

At noon, the army stopped to rest, and when the soldiers lined up to receive dry food and drinking water, something happened.

Some soldiers who received food had just eaten and drank a few sips of water. It didn't take long for each of them to suffer from abdominal cramps, as if thousands of small knives were cutting their internal organs together, and they all fell to the ground foaming at the mouth. Then he began to lose consciousness and eventually stopped breathing. Among them, the stronger ones only persisted for less than two minutes before suffocating to death.

Oulu and Raffles were looking at the map in a tree-lined field, when they heard a report from a soldier, they hurried to go. I saw that hundreds of soldiers who were poisoned in the camp had died, and other things were found to be wrong, so they dared not eat any more. The two lords looked at the soldiers who died for no reason, and their faces changed with heartache. Raffles growled, "Check the food and water, what's going on?"

Soon, the results of the inspection came out. One of Oru's commanders fed two old horses with dry food and water respectively. The horse that ate the dry food was fine, while the horse that drank the water died of poisoning soon. And this shows that the drinking water has been poisoned. This conclusion, combined with the fire in the stables last night, is enough to connect the two events without much imagination.

Although Oru and Raffles were unwilling to admit it, the facts were right in front of them. Obviously, Allen's hand has reached out to their barracks, but they didn't realize this in advance!

"Separate some people from the army to find a new water source nearby. Be careful this time, and if you make any mistakes, you can figure it out yourself!"

Amid Oru's roar, the commander of Bauhinia ran back in dismay, and assigned an infantry team to find a new water source. As for the soldiers in the army, they can only eat dry food for the time being, but they cannot touch a drop of water. As a result, the soldiers naturally complained. We must know that people can not eat, but they cannot not drink water.

The movement of this coalition army was watched by several pairs of eyes, and without the army's awareness, a figure left quickly.

In the evening, he arrived in an unknown forest located fifty kilometers away. Just after entering the forest, two mountain king warriors with shields suddenly appeared from the grass. The man lowered his voice and said "it's me", and the warriors let him go. He found Belmode directly, and then led him to a clearing deep in the woods. There were some tents pitched in this open space, and Allen came out of one of the tents when he heard the report.

The dark blade warrior immediately reported the enemy's movements, and after listening to Alan, he asked him to go down to rest. Belmode and a few others gathered around, and everyone waited for Allen's order. Allen took out a map, put his finger on several places, and then smiled and said: "Notify the whole army to move out of the camp, we have to travel overnight."

"What's your plan?" Regis couldn't help asking.

"For our kind of people, of course there will be no good results if we fight hard. However, it is still feasible to harass the guerrillas. If their morale is not high before they set off, then it will be delayed until their morale is low. It will be easier to deal with them then." Allen Putting away the map, he said lightly, "It's time for hide and seek."

Oru sneezed.

It was already late at night. After the poisoning incident at noon ended, the rested army continued to advance and stopped to set up camp at nightfall. The morale of the soldiers suffered a bit, especially because there was no suitable water source nearby, the soldiers had no water to drink, and everyone's mouth was dry. Oru could only order people to collect dew while keeping vigil, but that was just a drop in the bucket.

Before arriving at Sunset City, he suffered a loss. Oulu was so angry and angry that he didn't even have the mood to sleep. He wished he could arrive at Sunset City early tomorrow morning, so that he could kill Allen without leaving any pieces behind, so that he could vent his anger.

Turning over in the tent, the rough ground under the blanket made Oru miss the big bed in his bedroom. He cursed a few words in a low voice, closed his eyes and prepared to go back to sleep. Suddenly there was an explosion outside the tent, and the explosion came without warning. The huge explosion made Oulu's ears hurt. He didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he just grabbed a giant sword that was placed beside him and rushed out.

"What's going on?" He grabbed a soldier outside the tent and shouted.

The soldier replied in a panic: "Report to your lord, our grain truck has been blown up."

"What!" Olu said angrily, "It's that damned Allen again, we didn't let you keep an eye on the supplies, why were they destroyed again?"

The soldier said with a mournful face: "Well, the specific situation, the subordinates don't know either!"

"waste!"

Oru found the commander again, and the commander's report was more detailed. The attack was carried out from a distance. At that time, the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the grain truck only saw a fireball coming from the distant night, hitting the grain truck and causing an explosion. After the explosion, the fire spread rapidly and quickly burned several grain trucks. Fortunately, the soldiers saw the opportunity quickly and finally rescued some food.

At this time, another soldier came to report: "My lords, we have found the enemy!"

"Where is it?" Olu yelled.

"Just outside the camp, 100 meters ahead!"

"What?" Oulu was taken aback, but the enemy was in front of the camp. Such a swaggering move is undoubtedly the biggest provocation to them. Oro's face darkened: "Go and inform Sir Raffles, and also, send my hoplites here. They actually delivered them to the door by themselves, then I will let them go without returning!" r1058
