Froya held Xiaoyue's hand all the way back to the town and found a hotel to stay in. During this period, they kept fighting, with Floya being shy and Shinozuki mostly teasing. It wasn't until the door was closed and the two of them looked around the room in tacit agreement that the expressions on their faces returned to calm.
"I didn't expect it to be outside the city. I thought it was going to be near the village..." Floya said cryptically, walking around the room to check the blind spots.
This room with two beds was not big, and Floya quickly finished going around. She looked back at Xiaoyue and said bluntly: "Isn't it too much to monitor this tightly?"
It is about ten kilometers from the town to the village. If the enemy uses this range to set up a surveillance network, a lot of people will be needed. For those who operate in secret, it is too public and unrealistic.
And if they can spare so many people, it would be more efficient to just replace the residents in the village.
"Judging from the time, the news about the resumption of the investigation should have just come..." Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "The other party probably changed the original monitoring network when the crusade army was gathering. However, I don't I think they have enough manpower to set up spying in such a large area. It should only be at the city gate and near the village. The former is for filtering, and the latter is more strict."
"It doesn't make much sense to just place manpower at the city gate, right? The enemy's spy is mainly to monitor the target. The roads leading out of the village are in all directions. If the target discovers the truth and escapes through other routes, such an arrangement will have no effect at all."
Froya's thinking is different from Xiaoyue's. It's just that Xiaoyue rarely makes mistakes, so Froya subconsciously followed her thoughts.
"Does the other party know that we are going to pass through the town?" Froya's expression became serious.
Night Crow is best at stealth operations, and has never failed in so many years. If the car overturns here, the enemy's trouble will increase several times.
The key to the game lies in intelligence. If the intelligence is at a disadvantage, it will be difficult to win.
Xiaoyue glanced at Froya and said: "It is a good thing to pay attention to the enemy..."
Floya frowned.
Xiaoyue's tone contained no emotion, but she sounded like she was mocking herself.
"But if you think the enemy is too powerful, you will lose your ability to move." Xiaoyue continued.
Floya immediately became furious and said angrily: "You are really mocking me!"
Because of Floya's presumptuous behavior not long ago, Xiao Yue ignored Floya and said to herself: "I just said that the other party made adjustments to their defense because of the crusade. Then This adjustment is naturally to prevent the crusade."
Froya, who was about to pounce, was stunned. She was not stupid, she only had different opinions from Xiaoyue due to differences in thinking. With Xiaoyue's reminder, she quickly figured out the reason.
The enemy is indeed very cautious. When they heard that the crusade army was gathering, in order to prevent the possibility of information leakage and the crusade army dispatching troops to destroy them, they specially set up spies and placed them near the town. If a large number of people went to the village, the town would indeed become a The only way to go.
What really functions as a surveillance network is still the part located near the village.
This is also the reason why Xiaoyue said that the latter is more rigorous.
The reason why Xiaoyue and Floya let the eyeliners arranged by each other show up because they were only two people, was because the flow of people nearby was greatly reduced during this period, and there were almost no unfamiliar faces. The eyeliners were worried that they were disguised scouts, so Only then did he show up to test.
After figuring out Xiaoyue's logic, but not having enough reasonable ideas to refute, Froya's face became embarrassed.
Fortunately, she was thick-skinned enough and quickly caught what Xiaoyue said to vent her anger and said: "Oh, you are worthy of being our chief... Sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. I also wanted to be numb. The enemy just went too far, but wasn’t that a character made up in an emergency? In order to pretend to be more realistic, I had no choice but to come up with whatever I thought of! Moreover, you didn’t scold me less at that time!”
Floya took advantage of her unpreparedness, hugged Xiaoyue's waist, and started acting coquettishly.
Xiaoyue put a hand on Froya's face, veins popped out on her forehead: "Why don't you act as planned?"
Naturally, it was impossible for her to arrange her identity at the critical moment. Before making the disguise, she had already packaged the setting for herself and Floya as "two members of a well-known caravan returning home together".
This well-known caravan belongs to Night Crow. Even if someone goes to investigate, nothing will go wrong. It can be said that it is foolproof.
But who would have thought that Floya would actually act on the spot when faced with temptation? !
Faced with Xiaoyue's question, Froya was silent for a moment and stuck out her tongue: "...Huh?"
Xiaoyue stood on her tiptoes. This was the result of her forcibly controlling herself and not really giving Froya a knee bump.
Lifting Floya up by her collar, Xiaoyue held her forehead and said, "Rest, they probably won't show up again tomorrow."
"Where's the plan?" Froya asked, shaking her hands and feet in the air.
Normally, Night Crow will make detailed and careful plans based on the information provided by migratory birds before taking action to ensure that the action is foolproof.
The distribution of migratory birds is wide enough to ensure that Night Crow can obtain a certain level of intelligence for any operation.
The target village is actually no exception, but when Xiaoyue and the others came to the town, they learned that the information about the target village had not been updated for a long time.
The reason now seems to be due to changes in the enemy's surveillance network.
The known information can only show that Xiaoyue's inference is correct. If Xiaoyue and the others want to know more, they can only go to the target village and actually meet the migratory birds.
This is not difficult. The migratory birds in the village are the ones who support Xiaoyue and the others. It is unnecessary to plan in advance because the feasibility cannot be guaranteed.
Of course, Xiaoyue knew that what Floya was actually asking was what kind of persona they should use to face various temptations in the future.
Floya's random extravagance has become a foregone conclusion. Now that things have happened, Xiaoyue can only sigh: "Just do as you say."
"Hey... my irritable and arrogant onee-sama... Hey... Hey..."
Froya covered her mouth with her hands and laughed strangely.
Xiao Yue immediately threw Floya on the bed.
"sleep!"
…
The next morning, Xiaoyue and the others made preparations early.
Before leaving the city, even though they knew that the "wolf pack" mentioned by the informant was just an excuse, the two of them went out of their way to inquire around the city. It was not until noon that they left the city again.
Passing by the place where they were stopped yesterday, the "businessman" actually appeared again!
"Finally I met you!"
"Brother, are you still here!?" Froya's expression was surprised and surprised, and then she said cautiously, "How are the wolves in front of us? We asked around the city this morning, and no one seems to know. .”
"Well..." "Businessman" looked embarrassed, "It seems I heard wrongly... The officers and soldiers sent people to look over there, but no trace of the wolves was found."
"Ah?" Floya looked shocked.
The businessman laughed dryly and said, "Maybe I'm timid and I'm too nervous walking at night."
Floya burst out laughing and said, "Brother, you are such a tall person, you can't tell that you are so timid."
"Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't expect that I made a big mistake. I'm waiting here just to apologize to you. Fortunately, there weren't many people out of the city last night, otherwise I would be so embarrassed."
Floya waved her hand and said, "Hey - it's okay. It just so happened that I couldn't think of a way to persuade my friend not to walk at night. Brother, you helped me."
"Businessman" touched the back of his head and blushed, "Just don't blame me..."
Floya seemed to have thought of something and said, "Well, brother, since you are also going to the front, how about we share a companionship?"
"No, no, my friend has gone to the official to apologize, and I have to wait for him. If something like this happens, we have to go back to the caravan to apologize, and we may not be able to go to the village."
"Really... Well, let's meet again if we are destined."
"See you soon."
Froya waved her hand at the "businessman" and pulled Xiaoyue, who looked unhappy and seemed to be on the verge of anger, away quickly, like a little girl who didn't want to leave a bad impression.
Watching the two girls go away again, the "businessman" stood there, unable to move for a long time.
"What, do you like her?"
"What?! I didn't..."
"What's the matter? She is indeed beautiful. She holds an important position in the caravan at such a young age and is very capable."
"I don't."
"But let's wait until our matter is over. Then it will be nice to be with such a beautiful and rich woman. At least we won't have to lick blood with a knife."
"..."
"...Ahem, remember to introduce me to her best friend after you succeed."
"Hiss-Boss, you..."
"Shut up and stay on guard!"
…
"The acting is quite good, he is a good actor..."
Froya's whisper could only be heard by Xiaoyue who was closest to her. In the eyes of the "businessman" in the distance, she was just complaining about her companion's attitude, rather than speaking to him.
"It's a pity that the next time we meet, it will be your death."
