"We just evacuated and someone disappeared again?"
"Lord Commander, could it be a coincidence?" said the guard captain who came to report.
Tang Wen sneered: "Coincidence?"
He was angry in his heart. He didn't care much about the life and death of the scavengers, and he couldn't control them even if he wanted to.
But they disappeared inexplicably, leaving me no time to hunt, smoke bacon, and stock up on food, which was unbearable.
"Two commanders, what should we do next? Do you want to go to the scene and take a look?"
Seeing that Tang Wen was thinking, Zhou Bing signaled the guard captain to calm down.
After a few minutes, Tang Wen said: "This is definitely not a coincidence. There are so many people in the scavenger camp and there is chaos. Maybe the other party's eyes and ears are there."
"Probably."
Tang Wen continued: "In this way, send a few bad-tempered people to the scavenger camp to spread evil fire. They will scold those scavengers as traitors. Then tell them openly that we have no time to pay attention."
The captain of the guard battalion thought he understood: "Then we quietly send people to lurk among the scavengers!"
"Ahem, don't bother. Those scavengers are just people who can be bribed with half a pound of corn. We can't tell who is the tipper."
After listening to Tang Wen's words, the guard captain's eyes showed admiration: "I want to keep things simple."
"Just send someone to keep an eye on the road to the Black Mountain Camp."
That's how it was settled.
Four hunting teams quietly left the city, and one team ambushed on the road leading to the Black Mountain camp.
The remaining three teams were scattered and ambushed around the scavenger camp, but they were not too close to the camp.
"Quack, quack, quack," the hunting team came out of the city wearing armor, and the sound frightened a red-eyed crow.
"Damn it! What a bad luck, why did I encounter this thing when I went out?"
"Damn bird."
Someone in the team raised a bow and arrow, and the red-eyed crow turned and plunged into the forest.
"Damn! You're pretty clever."
This kind of crow is a low-level alienated beast.
Because of its unpleasant cry, dark feathers and blood-red eyes, it is regarded as ominous by people.
As for the unknown method, no one knows.
It is basically the same as the blood of a black dog can ward off evil spirits and the blood of a black cat can channel spirits.
After the hunting team went out.
Tang Wen and other commanders did not neglect either.
That night, Commander Zhang was on duty, while Tang Wen and Zhou Bing slept in their respective lounges.
The night passed and nothing happened.
The one-armed Commander Zhang sat in the council hall until dawn.
In the early morning, the hunting team came to report that there was nothing unusual, not even a single wild animal was encountered.
The three commanders were silent. Commander Zhang, who had not slept all night, pressed his temples and said a little irritably: "No matter what, just report it directly and prepare to fuck the fucking Black Mountain ghost!"
Obviously this was an angry comment.
Tang Wen waited for him to calm down and then said: "This is completely different from the way the Black Mountain ghosts do things. If we go to war with the Black Mountain ghosts, the people hiding in the dark will probably wake up laughing in their dreams."
"People in the dark?" Commander Zhang was shocked. Thinking that this was indeed a possibility, he took a deep breath and calmed down.
Zhou Bing also felt that it was unusual. She speculated: "Is there someone secretly keeping an eye on our camp gate? As long as they see the hunting team going out, they will not take action. They will not take action until we withdraw the people."
"It's possible." Tang Wen touched his chin and thought for a while: "Send a few groups of hunters dressed as ordinary people and leave the camp from the inner city. Let them monitor and withdraw the current guards."
"good!"
"Good idea."
Half an hour later, the four hunting teams took a long way and dispersed from the inner city gate to leave the camp.
They wandered outside in the forest until it was getting dark, then gathered at the agreed place and went to various locations to ambush and observe.
The four hunting teams that left the city last night all stepped into the camp gate with unkind expressions and curses.
But this night, nothing happened.
The next day, Tang Wen dispatched three hunting teams to hunt as usual, cut down trees, and cooperated with the camp canteen chef to smoke bacon.
Nothing happened that night.
Another day passed, and Tang Wen changed three hunting teams and went out hunting.
At night, everything was still peaceful.
No one was missing in the scavenger camp, and the hunting teams monitoring the situation found nothing unusual.
Five days later, Tang Wen and Zhou Bing recruited four hunting teams responsible for surveillance.
As a result, dozens more people disappeared from the scavenger camp that night.
"This is a slap in our face!" Commander Zhang was furious after receiving the news.
Zhou Bing's pretty face was stern, and the faces of the hunting captains were very ugly.
Tang Wen, who has lived in two generations, has a calm expression.
He was even satisfied with the result that no one in the hunting team suffered any casualties.
Things have come to this point.
We will definitely ask for help from the inner city.
Before asking for help, his hunting team witnessed the enemy's strangeness and cunning without paying any price.
very good already.
In the afternoon, at the General's Mansion in the inner city, Tang Wen reported on his work.
Tell the whole story of the "disappearance of the scavengers" in detail.
In the room, all the well-informed leaders looked at each other.
Obviously they couldn't understand how the enemy did it.
The grumpy commander shouted: "Just go directly to the people who captured the Black Mountain Ghost and ask!"
"Yeah, no matter what the situation is, beat the Black Mountain Ghost first, that's right!"
"I think it will work."
"Whatever you do, just shut up." General Zhou stared.
The commanders immediately fell silent.
General Zhou has accumulated prestige for a long time, and no one dares to compete with him.
After a pause, General Zhao spoke to calm the atmosphere: "It hasn't rained for dozens of days, and the corn seedlings in the farmland outside the city are almost withered. We don't know how long the drought will last, and it's really not appropriate to start a war."
Tang Wen nodded secretly. The two generals in charge of the camp were both understanding people.
But everyone knows the truth. But the scavengers kept disappearing, and the hunting camp could never catch them.
It's not a big deal, but it makes people feel upset.
Tang Wen knew this feeling best. He looked at Zhou Bing and thought that he had a treasure but no use for it.
Make him feel unhappy all the time!
Commander Qian Dong of the Imperial Guard suggested: "I think we should send a hunting camp to patrol every night to see if they still dare to come?"
Scaring the other party away is a no-brainer.
But the risk is greater.
After the other party finds out the reality of your patrol, they may send out experts to eat it directly.
By then, the Flame Camp will suffer even greater losses.
The discussion lasted for more than an hour, but no solution was found.
The two generals asked Tang and Wen to stay and dissolved the meeting.
After the other commanders left, the atmosphere in the room became even more depressing.
The two generals looked at each other, and General Zhou asked seriously: "Do you think it is possible that there is an internal problem within us?"
Well?
Tang Wen, Zhou Bing, and Commander Zhang looked at each other.
Finally, Zhou Bing shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be possible. The elites and martial arts disciples I brought from the inner city hunting camp are all old people in the camp. The whole family lives here. To do this kind of thing, do What good does it do them if the people in the camp are frightened?”
"Where are the newly recruited outer city guards in the hunting camp?" General Zhou asked again.
Commander Zhang said: "I don't dare to say anything else. The guards in the outer city have families and families, and they can guarantee harvests during droughts and floods. They are basically reliable."
Guards are like a golden rice bowl, they have a high status and have almost no reason to cause trouble.
The camp's promotion system is all on the surface, and it's equivalent to captain or commander, so practice martial arts well.
As long as the strength is there, it is difficult to think wrong.
The clues were broken and things were at a deadlock.
"Xiao Tang, what's your opinion?"
Tang Wen thought about it for a long time. When he heard the roll call, he immediately said concisely and concisely: "Send out the commander and give it a try!"
His tone is natural and his ideas for solving problems are straightforward.
It seems that a regiment commander is faced with the question "What should I do if the 50mm howitzer can't kill the opponent?"
The natural answer would be: "Get a bigger caliber! Bring me the 100mm howitzer and the 155mm howitzer!"
For Tang Wen, the hunting battalion leader is a 50mm howitzer.
The third-class martial arts commander is a 100mm howitzer.
The second-class martial arts commander has a caliber of 155 mm.
A first-class martial artist!
It is estimated to be comparable to a 203 mm cannon.
He explained: "Although I don't know how the people in the dark did it, the fact is that our hunting team can't touch their shadows at all."
The two generals discussed in low voices, and General Zhou said decisively: "Okay, in addition to you and Zhou Bing, four more commanders will be dispatched!"
Zhou Bing and Commander Zhang relieved their burdens.
With the six commanders dispatched, they should be able to uncover the enemy in the dark, right?
But Tang Wen didn't think so. As he said before, what if the opponent had a general-level warrior?
"If Sister Bing and I leave at the same time, someone will still need to be in charge in the outer city."
As he spoke, he looked at General Zhao.
