Chapter 415 7.69 Road Home (3)

The wetland lakes on both sides of the official road are not deep, only less than ten meters deep.

After jumping into the lake, the members of the Fire Transmission Gang took out two thin grass tubes and inserted them into the mouths of Alfred and Wenzof. With the ability to exchange air and breathe, the few people quickly disappeared under the lake.

It can be seen that this is not the first time that the "Fire Transmission Gang" has done this.

Every believer who joins the "Zoroastrianism" needs to serve the cult to the best of his ability. This group of hidden stakes hidden in the Versailles Castle have long dug through the shallow lakes in the wetlands when no one knows.

On weekdays, they can sneak into the park in the middle of the night when no one is around, quietly slaughter a few unicorns, and smuggle the precious "unicorn spiral horn" and "unicorn blood" into the city through the underground channel.

But today, it has become an underwater passage to help Viking pirates enter the city.

They first entered a drainage ditch from the shallow lake, and successfully entered the moat of Versailles Castle from a hidden tributary. They moved along the edge of the moat secretly. Alfred could see the sparkling water surface, and the ready-to-go Golden Scale Guards had already guarded the city gate tightly.

After choosing the escape route, they never thought of entering Versailles Castle. But now they have to admit that the most dangerous place is the safest.

They hid under the water and waited until the sun completely set before continuing to move along the moat. Wenzof, as an old Viking seaman, was not difficult to lurk under the water, but Alfred, who was born in the Wessex Palace, was obviously not so comfortable.

It is easy to say that breathing only through a tough straw tube extending from the water surface, but it takes a lot of thought and patience to do it. In particular, in order to stay hidden, every breath they exhaled underwater must be uniform and slow.

Fortunately, after two difficult hours, when darkness enveloped the earth again, the moat drawbridge was pulled up. Several people finally got a chance to move forward again.

Their goal was the main gate of the moat.

**

The moat around the castle can be used to great effect in preventing siege equipment from getting close to the city wall and preventing siege troops from climbing the wall with ladders.

In the outskirts of the city of the English Isles, it is rare to have a moat that can resist foreign enemies.

As for changing the water in the moat, no one cares too much.

The water in the moat is mostly a pool of stagnant water. Because it cannot flow all year round, the water in the moat is dark green, and almost all of it is filled with a pungent smell.

This kind of thing is certainly not allowed for the French nobles who have the word "exquisite" engraved in their bones.

The water in the moat of Paris and the five surrounding satellite cities must not only be replaced once a week, but even the debris that sinks to the bottom of the river must be cleaned up regularly.

Looking at the entire Western Continent, I am afraid that only the Duchy of France has extra financial and manpower to deal with such things.

Today, the sluice gate for releasing water into the moat has become a breakthrough for the Vikings to enter the city. The members of the Fire-Chuan Gang must wait until the sun sets, when the two teams of city defense personnel change shifts.

Only during this period of time can they crawl into the inner city through the open sluice gate.

At the outlet of the moat, another group of Fire-Chuan Gang members have already been there to meet them. Seeing the Vikings appear, they directly took out a dozen pieces of gold-scale armor on their backs and threw them in front of everyone.

The leading centurion of the Gold-Scale Guard said in a deep voice.

"Today, many Golden Scale Guards from Paris entered the city. Although they belong to the same unit as us, we rarely interact with each other on weekdays. The two sides do not recognize each other at all!"

"This is the standard Golden Scale Armor of the Golden Scale Guards. After putting it on, don't speak, and follow me silently. My mission is to take you to the next contact point!"

"Put it on now!"

"Remember, try not to make eye contact with anyone! Most of you don't speak French. Once others take the initiative to talk to you, don't say a word!"

"Wait for me to rescue you!"

In this era, no one is more professional than the tightly organized "Fire Worship" with clear rewards and punishments for smuggling, sneaking, spying, and transmitting intelligence.

All actions of the Fire Transmission Gang are carried out in steps.

Each group of gang members hiding inside the enemy will only be responsible for the part they are best at completing. After completing the task, they will immediately return to the latent state and will not participate in the next plan at all.

In this way, even if there is an error in a certain link, the rest of the Fire Transmission Gang will have enough time to retreat or find other ways to complete the commission.

**

In the organization of the Golden Scale Guard, a centurion who can command 100 soldiers is already a mid-level leader with some achievements.

The entire city gate is guarded by this secret stake.

Wearing a full set of armor, the surviving 7 Viking pirates followed the commander, lined up, changed shifts openly, and walked out of the fortress. After leaving the fortress, they did not immediately go to the next location, but like other Golden Scale Guards who had completed their work in the city, they went into the bar to have a drink.

In the past, this dangerous behavior would inevitably reveal flaws, but today, as many as 1,000 Golden Scale Guards from Paris poured into the city, guarding the four gates of the Versailles Castle and martialling all the streets in the city.

With the same clothes and weapons, they were led into the bar by the centurion without causing any suspicion.

After ordering a few glasses of beer and a few plates of fragrant barbecue, they were surprised to find that the two Tang Dynasty swordsmen who had been following them all the way passed by them calmly without showing any suspicion.

Sure enough, in the eyes of the Tang people in Donglu, the faces of Westerners all look the same. Especially when wearing the same standard armor, it is even more difficult to distinguish the difference between individuals.

After eating this simple dinner, they watched the bard sing the great deeds of the great king "Charlemagne Carolingian" who bravely fought against the invasion of the Arab Empire. After throwing down a few copper coins, the centurion confirmed that he had stayed in the bar for the "average time" after the Golden Scale Guards got off work, and then led them out of the bar.

Several people continued to walk in a line on the street.

So far, the most difficult step has been completed.

No one would take a second look at a group of Golden Scale Guards walking out of the bar.

**

It is not difficult to see that the city is still under martial law at this time. The Golden Scale Guards guarding the intersection will carefully check every merchant passing by, not only searching their whole body, but also the luggage carried on their carriages will be opened and carefully searched.

They treat every merchant walking on the street as an enemy.

However, the centurion who led the soldiers walking calmly on the street did not ask anyone even a word.

The centurion sometimes led them to walk forward, and sometimes stopped to talk quietly with the decapitator guarding the intersection. At this time, Alfred and Wenzov would lean on the side of the street and calmly take out their pipes to smoke a few puffs.

"After walking through this street, we need to disperse and evacuate. Everyone, please pay attention to the colorful doors on the street. When you see someone waving to greet you, follow them into the house."

"Don't ask too many questions, and don't have unnecessary conversations."

"This is where you will stay tonight. We can't transport you out of the city during the night curfew. You have to wait until tomorrow morning when the next wave of the Firebearers will come to pick you up!"

"My mission is completed here. I wish you all good luck!"

The centurion was afraid that the Vikings didn't understand English, so he repeated it in Viking language, which he was not proficient in.

When he walked into the residential area, there was a group of people following him. When he entered his own house, there was no one behind him.
