"Your invitation is quite unexpected." I touched my chin and said, "Generally speaking, shouldn't there be some pretentious remarks before an invitation?"
Ward smiled and did not answer my question, as if he had just mentioned it in passing.
"This matter is not that urgent - do you think anything will happen tonight?"
Now that this matter has been revealed, does it mean that the time has not yet come?
While I was thinking this, I looked into the distance carelessly.
"Even if they have an idea tonight, the main force probably won't be able to take action." I said slowly, "Maybe they will instigate some other guys to try their strength?"
"Testing, or consuming strength." Ward seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, and now he came to ask me for my opinion, more like he wanted to confirm some of his thoughts.
He slowly stood up and said in a nonchalant tone: "I hope... I can give people time to sleep. If they are harassed like mosquitoes every night, it will be quite troublesome."
I smiled and said, "It's not necessarily just mosquitoes - I heard that there is a kind of hyena in the western prairie. Their individual strength is very weak, but they can fight against powerful monsters. They come in groups, but they don't Instead of confronting it head-on, it will follow its prey for dozens of miles and continue to harass it. The prey will accumulate numerous wounds from insignificant injuries. These wounds are not fatal, but quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes, and the wounds will slow down. Without the movement of prey, large prey will eventually lose the strength to fight, and hyenas will swarm up and kill the prey at this time."
Ward turned his head with interest and said with a smile: "Oh? Then do you think we are prey or hyenas?"
I rubbed my chin and said, "Well - it's hard to say. After all, there is an old saying that 'the wolf lies asleep in order to lure the enemy.'"
It was obviously unlikely that Ward had heard such words, so he thought for a while and said, "Now that you said that, I am luring the enemy deeper, so in the end, the wolf wins?"
"No, the human won." I stretched and said, "The next part of the old saying is that wolves are very cunning, but they still can't compete with humans, so just take it as a joke."
He was silent for a long time, stood there for a while, and then said as if he realized something: "That's right... Since these are all things people observe, then obviously people are more terrifying."
"I think this is a foregone conclusion." I curled my lips and said, "This army is not a normal army at all. Since they are confident that they still have time to suppress bandits while escorting important supplies, these guards - all of them are Professional, right?”
Although I have no way of knowing what kind of strength those people in the martial arts training system have, I can tell just from the breath surging on the surface of their bodies that these are not ordinary people.
"Haha, this is not something difficult to say." Ward admitted readily this time, "Although they are equipped with equipment to conceal their aura, they can only deceive these adventurers. The truly powerful people You can tell the strength and weakness of a professional from his posture."
"Now that you're ready, let's wait." I stood up, shrugged, waved to Walder, and walked towards the camp.
When I opened the tent door, the people inside stopped talking and turned to look at me.
The thief swallowed his saliva first and said, "Brother, you are not an ordinary person. Why do you feel like you can talk to anyone?"
"I travel a lot, so I have a lot of friends." I found a place to sit down and said, "How about it, did you find anything else during the day?"
When I was on the road during the day, I took the time to pay attention to them and found that the thieves and rangers did not stay in the car. Instead, they tried to sneak into the mercenary team, probably to get information.
"I didn't find anything, I just feel that these people are a bit strict." The thief complained, "I managed to get out, but when I came in, I failed..."
It is true that when you go out, you turn a blind eye according to the specifications of an advisor and follower. When you come back, you become an adventurer who wants to know the internal situation, and it is normal to handle it strictly.
"So, no one really knows about the situation of the goods?" I touched my chin with curiosity.
Although if I ask Wade directly about this kind of thing, he will probably tell me directly, but if I ask, I will be in a relatively passive position. If you want to obtain more information, there are some things that you should not do just because of your curiosity. It’s better to study it deeply.
"No." The thief curled his lips and said, "Those people may seem loose, but they are very strict with the goods. They always meet me 'just by chance' and let me leave very kindly - I don't believe this. What a coincidence! There must be something wrong with the identities of these people."
The pharmacist suddenly spoke at this time: "What about you? I'm not questioning it, but we all work for the princess after all, so a certain degree of information sharing is still necessary... Although we are led by you. , but some things still need to be discussed more.”
I thought for a while and realized that I seemed to be ignoring the members of the team too much, so I nodded and then picked out a part of the information.
The main point is about Ward's second layer of disguise, which does not directly indicate that Ward is the second prince's man, because the real tasks of the team members do not actually have to be carried out according to the team's specifications. In the original plan, in After arriving at a certain location, we will separate to collect intelligence. However, the current situation in the war zone forces us to maintain the "adventurer team" organization for the time being.
Because of what I heard about the second prince before, I wasn’t sure whether it was a good thing to contact him now, so I didn’t tell them for the time being to avoid causing trouble.
In this way, time passed slowly, the surrounding sounds gradually became quieter, and the noisy sounds gradually disappeared.
I got up and prepared to go back to the carriage to rest, but at this moment, at the edge of my perception, I noticed a group of people approaching quickly around me.
The formation was scattered and the speed was irregular. They were probably other bandits who had been lured over.
I curled my lips and had no intention of telling Wade about this - I also wanted to see how they planned to respond. This would also be helpful for me to judge the strength of the second prince. After all, the professional army sounded scary, but it was easy to manage. It is also a troublesome matter. If not managed properly, it can also explain what the second prince's current military strength is.
