Ladder's words full of flags did not kill everyone on the road in the subsequent process. It was really a bit beyond Duan Qing's surprise. Their transition was even a little too smooth - the battle on the left side of Feilong Plain During the journey, they did not encounter too many difficulties. They passed through the flat road in one go, and the enemies they encountered were chopped down by everyone. While Duan Qing experienced a kitchen knife team, the doubts in his heart also rose. a little.
Were the previous battlefield dungeons so simple? Are we getting stronger, or is the enemy getting weaker?
Without giving Duan Qing too much time to think, they had already killed the first leader on this route, a patrol captain on the imperial border, and arrived at the southern edge of the Felong Plain, on the edge of the grassland. Perhaps because there is a small river passing through here, a few lush trees stand quietly on the left and right sides of the river bank, bringing some changes to this flat plain. In the middle section of the meandering river, vague artificial traces began to appear along the edge of the river bank, and as the winding turns slowly increased and increased, a small camp was formed. Looking from a distance, many figures were seen coming in and out of the camp. The shouts of imperial soldiers, together with the sound of rushing water from the river, flowed past them from time to time.
This is where the name of Banhe Stronghold came from.
"Where is that guy?"
"Whatever, let's go in first and take a look..."
"Hey, hey, brother! I beg you, we can't waste any more time. The BOSS just cut too hard and almost triggered the alarm mechanism..."
Duan Qing hurriedly pulled the ladder to rush out, and then pointed in the direction of the river - opposite there, several groups of patrolling imperial soldiers were also appearing and disappearing along the river.
"Can you give them some face?" Duan Qing said: "No matter what... they are still a stronghold."
"Well...then what do you think we should do?" Ladder put down the ax in his hand with a look of displeasure, and then looked at his companions around him.
"Everyone can decide on the classic command method." The African miner complained at the side: "Do you dare to think of a trick by yourself?"
"Do you understand this is called exerting collective subjective initiative? This is..."
"Shh!"
Amidst the boos of the cloth-armored soldiers, the five people hurriedly hid in the grass behind a certain tree. After letting a group of patrols pass, they slowly emerged: "Okay, okay, since there are so many people, let's Let’s think of a way together and see how we can get in..."
"Touch in?" Ladder's eyes widened: "That's so boring..."
"Don't be willful, Brother Ladder, do you still want to complete the mission?"
The autumn grasshopper stared back at the other person, and then began to ask everyone around him: "Which of you is more familiar with it? Where are those prisoners of war... being held?"
"We have been here twice during previous missions." Seeing that the evil young man from Jiecheng, who had been silent all the way, still had no intention of making a sound, the African miner had to shoulder the responsibility of explaining: "But there were not so many people here at that time. , there are not that many built buildings around that stronghold..."
"You mean those prisoners of war might be held on the outside?"
"I don't know about that. The person who sent the mission doesn't know where his brother is being held."
"..."
The autumn grasshopper lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the camp across the road behind the tree, which was filled with imperial soldiers, and his expression became distressed: "This is troublesome. If we search one by one, God knows what we will find. time, and if you are not careful, you may be discovered by these soldiers..."
"Is the entire stronghold linked to hatred?"
"It's almost done, right? At least they will sound the alarm..."
Silence appeared among everyone for a moment, and was dispersed again by Ladder's loud voice: "So what else are you thinking about? Let's fight in first!"
"You still want to kill all the guards here?" Without waiting for others to object, the African miners jumped out: "Even when we came here before, we didn't do this!"
"Ah? Have we been here before? What did we do then..."
"well……"
While the African miners covered their faces helplessly, Duan Qing, who was also looking at the stronghold, finally said: "In that case, let's do it step by step."
"Let's first...find out the location of the prisoners of war."
"But such a big place..."
"There are five of us!"
Duan Qing smiled and said: "If we work separately and search more, we should be able to find clues soon."
"Split up?" Autumn Grasshopper looked at the road in front of the stronghold: "There is only one road, including the one on the empire side, there are only two..."
"Little river!"
Duan Qing pointed to the river next to the stronghold: "If you go through the river, can't you reach the south of the stronghold? And looking at the structure of this camp, they should have no defense against the direction of the small river that is also full of soldiers. Yes, so going through this line is the most likely route to get close to that stronghold. As long as there are no accidents in the river... By the way, you can swim, right?"
Seeing the dull reactions of others, Duan Qing's face slowly darkened.
"How about it?"
"No, there are too many guards and we can't get close."
"It's the same thing over there. There are too many people here..."
Still at the intersection in front of the Banhe stronghold, amid the rustling sounds, the members of the Ladder Team walked through the grass one after another and gathered here again. In addition to Brother Ax who was waiting on the spot and was not assigned a task, the first ones to come back were the two African miners who were in charge of the right side of the stronghold: "There are guards a hundred meters away around the city wall. There is a huge lawn. I have to look for it." There is no place where I can touch..."
"It seems... the guy at the gate is telling the truth."
He looked at the cloth-armored warrior who came back with him and concluded. The latter shook his head first, and after a while, he whispered his opinion: "The city wall made of wooden piles doesn't look high, but it should be very strong. There are also a few guards standing on it..."
"Force is not a good idea."
"Where's the bad boy?" After a while, Ladder's voice sounded again: "Isn't he with you..."
"He has gone further." The African miner replied: "We planned to go to the road in the direction of the empire to see the situation, and he took it by himself. Originally, we planned to go together..."
A slight wind noise suddenly reached the ears of the three people, but before they could react, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of them. The cloth-armored warrior, who thought he had been discovered, let out a long sigh of relief, then noticed the silent player and shook his head at everyone.
"not found?"
"He was discovered by a guard patrolling outside the door, so he killed him."
After saying this calmly, the evil young man from Jie City sat next to everyone, as if he didn't want to say another word. The autumn grasshopper stared, and was about to ask if there were any consequences, whether he had disturbed other people, etc. Ladder, who seemed very relieved, patted his shoulder: "In that case, then so be it. ! If there is really no other way, we will just go in... Where is Brother Mo? "
"Didn't he go to the river bank? None of us can swim..."
"Is there any accident?"
"Or maybe he doesn't know how to swim, so he just had to bite the bullet..."
"Speaking ill of others behind their backs will destroy their character."
As these words sounded, a wet figure suddenly appeared next to everyone, startling the African miner closest there: "Wow, when did you..."
"There's no movement at all." The autumn grasshopper whispered: "Don't scare people, okay..."
"If you don't come back soon..." Duan Qing squeezed the water from his hair and said with wide eyes, "Are we going to wait for you to say a few bad words?"
"Hey, I don't care about you." Ladder showed a smile: "Why is Brother Mo so angry..."
"That's not why I'm angry." Duan Qing made a face: "When I was in the water just now, I saw a guard going into the river..."
call--
Several people subconsciously moved a little away from Duan Qing, and then laughed dryly: "Ah ha ha ha... it's just a game, brother Mo doesn't have to be so sad, a ha ha ha ha..."
"...You like to laugh, right? You all, come with me."
Duan Qing wiped the liquid on his face again and looked around at other people's faces: "We found the place."
"Ah? Do you want... to take the water route?"
"Maybe...what, what's the problem?"
"Well, well...I can't swim..."
"I don't care about you so much, just go, go, go..."
Amid everyone's reluctance, Duan Qing took the lead and walked towards the river, and soon he arrived at the riverside with familiarity. The turbulent river water is crystal clear and makes a clanging sound in front of everyone. There is no sign of pollution on the surface, but the players who have already preconceived ideas still have some shadows in their hearts: "This river water... looks at There’s no problem.”
"There was no problem in the first place!"
After turning around and shouting these words, Duan Qing pointed towards the front of the river bank: "It's right there. The chaotic wall can only reach there at most. Let's just dive across from the river."
"Won't others discover it?" Looking at the imperial troops on the other side of the river that appeared and disappeared, everyone hurriedly retreated behind a few nearby trees: "There are no guards behind that wall...?"
"It turns out there was a fisherman." Duan Qing said with a black face: "I later pulled him into the water."
Looking at the other party's face, no one wanted to ask the reason for killing the other party. Among them, Brother Ax looked at the rushing river and asked with some worry: "It won't wash people away, right? I don't know how to swim... "
"Don't worry, it's just that you look anxious... You're wearing such heavy clothes, I guess you won't be able to wash away." Duan Qing said without looking back: "Besides, we can just go around the river, there is no need to go that far. Deep place.”
"The only thing we need to worry about..." Duan Qing looked across the river: "Whether we will be discovered."
"Is this... why we need to dive?"
"Yes." Duan Qing replied: "Or... let's wait for an opportunity. When there is a gap in the patrol of the imperial soldiers on the opposite side, we can quickly go around the wooden wall."
"Hmm...is it possible? This method sounds more reliable..."
"You just don't want to go into the water, right?" Duan Qing squinted at their captain: "We have to take this into consideration when we come back. By then we may not have so much time to wait, and... …”
"We need to bring at least one more person out."
Amidst the shouts of soldiers in the distance and the sound of running water in front of them, no one else behind the tree spoke, as if they were considering the pros and cons. However, a certain person did not have such patience. He patted his thigh and emerged from the grass. He stood up and said, "Don't think about it anymore, let's talk about what happens after we go in!"
He straightened his waist, as if to embolden himself, and then strode towards the direction Duan Qing pointed before: "What's the point of lingering here all the time? There must be a way to the mountain before the car, you know?" ……ah!"
A foot stretched out from behind him, from the shadow behind the tree, and kicked him into the water as he screamed, causing the patrols who had just walked away to look sideways.
"Did you hear that?"
"What's going on? What happened over there just now?"
"It seems like someone fell into the water... Hey, it seems like old Hank is gone?"
"Could it be that I was not careful when fishing and caught myself in it? Hahahaha!"
Amidst the laughter of the soldiers on the other side of the river, Duan Qing, who was hiding in the grass, wiped the cold sweat on his head and said to himself: "It was so dangerous, I was almost discovered... I was so careless. Your captain."
"...He is our captain."
What answered him were two or three pairs of eyes like dead fish behind him.
"Well!"
"What's wrong...you are - ah!"
In the stronghold on the back bank of the creek, the figures of the two guards fell silently, and then were quickly dragged into the shadows behind a certain hut. A black shadow flashed into the hut they were guarding at extremely fast speeds. Inside, it didn’t take long for him to come out again: “Not here.”
"Hey, next one."
In the quiet morning, similar shots occurred many times in this stronghold. They were like spreading floods, gradually spreading in the direction of the river bank and extending in all directions of the camp. There may have been a few accidents in the middle, but they were immediately made up for by their swift skills. At a certain moment, a ferocious ax protruded from the shadows in the corner, and then a head with a helmet appeared.
"It's really exciting to play like this, but after searching for so long...when will it be over?" Ladder looked at several taller wooden houses in the center of the stronghold and said, "It's not right there?"
"That's where the commander is." The African miner who came up together whispered, "Our second BOSS was fought there last time."
"Well... that's it!" Ladder clasped his hands together and said, "There's nothing more suspicious than there. It just so happens that we can take away the BOSS too!"
"Not there."
Duan Qing's voice sounded behind them: "...Do you just want to fight the BOSS?"
"Stop talking nonsense, you kicked me just now, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"The person we're looking for is over there."
Another person's voice interrupted his words - Autumn Grasshopper quietly walked out from behind Duan Qing and pointed in the other direction of the camp: "It's quite far from here... To do the mission, it's better to fight the BOSS. You pick one."
"You, how do you know?" Ladder blew his beard and stared at him for a long time, then asked in a low voice: "It took us so long to search..."
"We just found out." Duan Qing raised his thumb and pointed toward the shadow behind him.
"Pry it out from the mouth of the guy who just dragged it in." (To be continued.)
