Skaar was busy clearing the battlefield outside the camp and locking up the prisoners. When he heard his subordinates reporting that the hall master had arrived, he immediately stopped doing anything and hurried back. Seeing Auster from a distance, he smiled and said to him, "How does it feel to become a famous person? Do you want to rest for two more days?"
Auster had decided to confess everything. When Scar came closer, he sighed, and then said seriously, "Gang leader, there is something that must be made clear. I didn't do anything at all, and those officers and soldiers were not repelled by me. of……"
Skar put his fingers to his lips, looked around, and then whispered, "Shh, of course I know you didn't do anything. It's just - how did you know about the top-secret ambush plan?"
"What?" Oster was stunned. Skar continued, "It took less than five hours from intercepting the official army's action order to setting up the ambush site. In addition, in order to ensure confidentiality, I only informed the soldiers directly involved in the battle of the plan;
We released false intelligence during the day and pretended to attack the eastern counties over a long distance. In fact, the vanguard troops dragged branches to fake the momentum, and the remaining troops laid down an ambush on the spot after leaving the camp. When the officers and soldiers thought that the headquarters was empty of troops and came to attack, they would sit back and wait for the rabbit to catch the turtle in the jar..."
So that’s it, I asked why so many people suddenly came back to fight! Oster hurriedly said, "In this case, please explain to everyone clearly that it is not my fault at all!"
Skar was very surprised, "Why do you say that? Your contribution is not small at all! From our previous intelligence, we didn't know that the army had brought so many troops and steam tanks. Ordinary cannonballs and magic were attached to these The devil's iron knot had little effect. The only effective earthquake bomb was made of precious materials and was scarce in quantity. I only had time to deploy three rounds. If you hadn't taken a huge risk and rushed to the front of the mine array, seduced them to gather together, and finally caught them all. The outcome of the battle is still unpredictable!”
Oster was shocked. He thought that if he took one more step, he would be blasted into the sky by a landmine. "I was joking, I didn't think so much about it!"
"Don't be modest. Moreover, this operation should not be made public. Think about it, if the officers and soldiers know that we have a way to release false information and intercept their action plans, wouldn't our personnel lurking behind enemy lines be in danger?... Stop talking about this, how did you guess these details? Do you know some kind of divination magic? Can you teach it to our people? "
Next, no matter how Auster explained it, it was considered to be modest, or that divination was a secret that was not taught and could not be explained in detail.
The outcome of this battle was huge. It not only severely damaged the main force of the state and county guards, killed the colonel, and destroyed and captured three steam tanks alone; it also caused the Heishan County government to completely lose its ability to fight back and no longer dare to take any further steps. Town step. The rebel army was so powerful that the number of people who came to defect to the army tripled, and the entire Western Frontier was shocked.
In order to protect the undercover informant, Skar concealed the false information and planned the ambush. The reason for the victory was completely attributed to Auster, who defeated the enemy with a single sword and blocked the tank with his body. The entire rebel army admired the red-haired Hall Master with admiration, and all the voices of doubt and dissatisfaction that had been expressed earlier were silenced.
After this incident, Oster has been completely regarded as a top strategic weapon. Whenever the rebels encounter a hard nut to crack or take an important action, they must bring the red-haired hall master to help;
Because of their reputation, crowds of people gathered wherever they went to welcome him, and the officers and soldiers in small gatherings gave up resistance and fled. He often did nothing and achieved significant results just by showing up, and his comrades all attributed the success of the operation to Oster's existence.
As a result, the rumors further expanded. Wanted posters for the red-haired leader were posted all over the towns and villages controlled by the government and the army. The bounty has reached hundreds of thousands, second only to the gang leader Skar. People in the vast area in the northeastern part of the wilderness talk about Ao Sebian, and the mention of his name can stop children from crying at night.
With the deepening of trust, Skaar held a meeting of the gang leaders, and with unanimous recommendation and approval by everyone, Oster was promoted to deputy gang leader.
At this time, he was so regretful that his intestines were green; he hesitated, hesitated, and failed, but instead he became a big bandit leader.
As soon as he goes out, Oster will be recognized by people wherever he goes, and he will definitely be surrounded by heavy government troops, or intercepted by people who are jealous of the huge bounty. For this reason, Skar assigned three times the number of guards to the deputy gang leader. He huddled in his room all day long and was miserable;
In his current state, he would only be considered a ghost if he could escape from Black Mountain County alive. He could only continue to hide and wait for the opportunity. It really complied with that sentence, it is your own fault and you will not survive.
On this day, Scar suddenly came to Oster and said that he wanted to tell him a secret that only a few of the most trusted leaders in the gang could know.
Although Oster didn't want to get involved any further, he had no choice but to agree in order to avoid being caught. Skar then took him, Case, Pullman and other close guards with him, and they rode westward into the mountains.
After running along the mountain road for several hours, we finally arrived at a hidden valley.
Judging from the guard towers, fortifications, and even a steam tank hidden in leaves in front of the pass, this must be an important place. When I went in and took a look, sure enough, there were large and small buildings, training grounds, warehouses, air-raid shelters, etc. scattered everywhere. Hundreds of fully armed soldiers were stationed there. It was basically a military fortress.
Skarr said to Auster, "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to hide it from you. In order to avoid extraneous matters, we have discipline and call ourselves the Beggar Gang or the Rebels to the outside world. We only mention this to the most trusted people. Brown Brothers Now that he is the deputy gang leader and has proven his loyalty with outstanding contributions, naturally I can no longer hide this matter from you."
Several people dismounted, and Skar led Oster towards a building, saying, "The reason why we have been able to fight against the government is not just relying on the will of the people or guerrilla tactics. This is the bargaining chip that determines everything. .”
As he spoke, the sentry opened the door in front, and several people walked into the building. What they saw were several forges and a dozen engineering lathes. Dozens of workers and engineers are busy operating, and various magical engineering weapons and tools are continuously produced in the workshop;
There are various firearms, bombs, landmines and other munitions, as well as precision instruments for measurement, calibration, transmission, control, etc. Unlike the workshops that Oster is familiar with, there are basically no tools with purely mechanical structures in this world. The production and assembly process of various parts are carried out with various magic runes and crystal stones.
He already knew before that rune guns and bombs were contraband strictly controlled by the kingdom. Most of the products circulating on the nearby black market are produced by the same underground factory. Now it seems that this is it. At the same time, it proves the truth that in any world, weapons are the first things that rebels need to master. The rebel leaders obviously understood this, which is why they attached so much importance to this military factory and kept it strictly confidential.
