Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 640
“The team just past looks like a bunch of fat sheep.” After watching a noble respectfully greet the new team in, the robber sentries who had been observing Lawrence and the others before also had it. Your own judgment.
“Don’t look at their team with few people, but it should be the fattest of the fat sheep.” The little boss at this post said confidently.
“Although this group of people can’t see anything that can reveal their identity, but the guy who greeted them is the Briton noble who has recently made a fortune.”
“Looking at the movements of this nobleman, it is clear that the leader of the team who came on horseback should have a higher status than the nouveau riche, so the nouveau riche will salute the leader first after seeing the horseman.”
“So we can now send the exact message to the boss, and tell him that a new fat sheep has arrived, so that everyone is ready.”
“Yes, boss.” As soon as the little boss said, another accomplice immediately rushed out of this concealed post covered by branches and leaves.
Then he bypassed a small mound at the back and came to the back of a small tree with a section of branches removed in the middle. He began to sway the tree in a predetermined rhythm, and then raised the front of his chest. The telescope looked at a position on the ridge in the distance.
Less than a minute later, a tree on that ridge also shook.
After carefully seeing how often the tree shook, the thief sent out immediately rushed back to the post where he was just now, and then said. “We are about to finish waiting. The boss just issued the order, saying that it will launch a thorough attack in an hour.”
“Don’t you continue to wait?” The little boss sent to this core position is naturally a core member of the bandit group, so he also knows some inside information about the attack.
“After all, we definitely won’t be able to stay here after making a vote this time, so is it really enough for us if it’s just a few people in the valley?”
“Enough is enough. If there are too many hostages, we can’t actually manage it.” The other sentinel who was standing guard here was also a member of the core bandit group, so he took the conversation at this time.
“After all, the group of forces that belonged to other teams were just covering for us, and if we want to remove them and the losses in the action, we can’t actually control many hostages. So now those people are just right. “
“That’s right.” After being said by the subordinate, the little boss nodded thoughtfully, and then asked when looking at the valley not far away. “Then the boss said when we started doing it?”
“The boss hasn’t issued any new orders.” Another robber said, “In other words, we will launch an attack around 1:30 in the afternoon as originally planned.”
“In other words, just wait two more hours. Each of us can get a large sum of money.” After the words fell, a burst of deliberately suppressed laughter came from the small outpost.
Obviously, for these bandits, if they can really complete the conspiracy, they will have a harvest that they think is very good.
While the bandits in this outpost looked at the valley below the mountain and thought about the big deal, Lawrence also entered the largest tent in the camp under the leadership of the Viscount Briton.
From the outside, this tent looks like it should be a large tent used by these nobles and wealthy businessmen to gather. At the same time, the sound of music is now coming out of the tent, and it sounds as if the people in the tent are holding a banquet or a dance. same.
But after walking into the tent, Lawrence realized that there were no imaginary ornate decorations or entertainment in the tent, and no group of people danced or walked around with glasses of fine clothes.
In the entire tent of fifty or sixty square meters, only a table and some chairs were placed in the middle of the tent, and the music that Lawrence and the others heard just came out of a mechanical box.
In the sound of beautiful music, more than a dozen people were sitting around the table as if discussing something. When they saw Lawrence, the two of them and Viscount Surrey walk in, they simply nodded to them, and then fell into the trap. Under discussion.
“What are you doing here?” Lawrence looked at Viscount Surrey and asked, “I think you should know that for ordinary people, as long as they are careful, they won’t encounter any threats. So it shouldn’t let everyone. Are all so nervous.”
“Didn’t you find out, Lord Lord?” Viscount Surrey looked at Lawrence and said when he came to the edge of the tent. “We encountered a huge trouble this time. This trip is likely to be a conspiracy against us by some evil people.”
“Let’s talk about it, what did you find?” After hearing what Viscount Surrey said, Lawrence also realized that the group in front of him was not ignorant of the current situation. So I decided to listen to what he wanted to say.
“In fact, we found that something was wrong after we came here. After all, it is an abnormal thing that an empty ruin can attract so many people.”
Viscount Surrey lowered his voice and spoke at a quick speed. “So we sent some elite around us to investigate the surrounding situation, and it turned out that someone was trying to ambush us here.”
“Then why not leave here?” Lawrence asked a little puzzled. “Since you have now discovered that there is a danger here, why not stay away from the danger and stay here?”
“We want to go too, but we can’t go anymore,” Viscount Surrey said after taking a deep breath. “After all, it is too far away from the safe city, and many of the whole journey is difficult to walk. Place. In case of being ambushed—”
“So we can only wait here.” After speaking about his current situation, Viscount Surrey was silent for a few seconds before continuing.
“At least, compared to being destroyed by the enemy after going out, we feel that at least getting together and defending like this may have a better life.”
“It turned out to be like this–” Lawrence nodded, and within a few minutes after entering, he also found that the people at the long table were making various defenses and even plans to escape later.
Think about it, even if these people are not good at combat, many of the security personnel around them have experience in the military or as adventurers.
Although these people are not high in transcendent level, they basically cannot find the position of the bandit group’s eyeliner scattered along the way. But if there are hundreds of mobs in ambush around, they can always find some clues.
This is why they maintain a noble travel shelf outside ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ and inside are secretly discussed here. Because they think this can create some illusions to confuse the ambushers outside.
However, given the difference between the current strengths of the two sides, they now have no other way besides deciding to stick to the current area.
So the tactics that the people in the tent finally discussed are also very simple, that is, once the battle starts, defend with all their strength, and then mobilize a part of the elite to break through and ask for help when the opponent is not paying attention.
After all, this group of people still has a sufficient level of knowledge about their own level. Although there are seven or eight extraordinary people among them, they certainly can’t defeat the group of ambushers head-on.
Therefore, for them, the only way to survive is to send people to the urban area for help while fighting.
“I think your plan may have to be changed.” Lawrence turned his head slightly and said to Viscount Surrey next to him.
“I didn’t come here to play today, but yesterday, after discovering the conspiracy behind this batch of maps, I specially brought people over to save people.”
