"We're here now."
Adela pointed to a point on the map and marked the core areas of several regions in sequence with the pen in her hand. Her tone became serious: "Due to the attacks on several nearby locations connecting the two regions, belonging to the king The troops are gradually taking control of the Eastern Region, and it can be said that our lives have entered a countdown."
The equipment equipped by those teams and the firepower they could use for support far exceeded their imagination. Coupled with the damage caused by the sudden attack, the organization that was not compact enough was thrown into chaos. Even if they still had the power in their hands, they could not devote themselves to the front line.
"So the first task now is to recover the chaotic team. We are only at a disadvantage, not a defeat."
Adela's words made Zhou Jinru's eyes light up. He didn't expect that this heroine, who had always been a vase, could say something pertinent. Is this a speech before departure?
He coughed slightly, took the initiative in his hand, and drew a circle with his fingers within the scope of the Eastern Region: "We still have an advantage. His Majesty the King is wearing his hat. The nobles care about their pocketbooks, but they forget that there are still people here. There are countless civilians who are hungry, and we have a natural advantage in the Eastern Region."
Gavel, standing behind the two people, crossed his arms and said in a bad tone: "When should we set off?"
Zhou Jinru responded: "Wait a few more minutes, my equipment is not in place yet."
Adela asked doubtfully: "What equipment do you want?"
"A flag."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice shouted from behind: "Zhou, this is the flag you want."
Zhou Jinru turned around, and a faction member walked up to him carrying a wooden box and put the things down. The wooden box contained parts used to assemble the flagpole, as well as a brand-new flag.
"Is this the flag of our faction?"
Zhou Jinru smiled: "It's yours now."
Adela picked up the flag, took a look at it, and immediately put it down, with a somewhat ugly look on her face: "You want to kill me."
"I thought you were a Gauls."
"It's called Occupied Territory now, and I'm a Victorian."
Adela sighed and expressed her helplessness at Zhou Jinru's act of making decisions without authorization. If this flag was erected in this city, an even more terrifying enemy would be waiting for them.
"In this case, I have prepared another flag."
…
…
This three-person reconnaissance team passed through the winding sewers. To Zhou Jinru's surprise, even Adela knew the complex underground environment very well. It seemed that in the two years since she joined the faction, she had traveled through the sewers a lot. between.
"We are already in the area near the Sega River in the Eastern Region. According to the information provided by previous intelligence personnel, there are at least two teams of more than 20 people here. They are well-equipped and accompanied by several magicians."
Adela's voice was very low, and she quietly hid behind the haystack, with Zhou Jinru and Jia Weier on both sides.
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but said: "So what if the opponent has a magician? We have the great chief Jiavir."
His words were very helpful to Gaviel, and he immediately bumped his fists: "Those weak magicians, I will punch them one at a time. All magicians should be spanked!"
"Your chance has come."
The three people were hiding when they saw several soldiers wearing regular army uniforms coming from the opposite corner of the street.
"With a three-person team, there is a certain distance between the three of them. A sudden attack may not be able to capture them all."
Jiaweier snorted: "Really not?!"
"I don't mean to doubt the strength of the great chief, but the three-person team does not mean that there are only three of them, one, two, three and four. After the first three people took five steps, three more people came out from the corner. They are actually six people. If If we just attacked rashly, we would face six heavily armed soldiers."
After Zhou Jinru's explanation and the six people who actually appeared in the field of vision, Jiaweier stopped talking and stared directly at the approaching soldiers.
"I have an idea."
Adela, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"I'll lure them over, and then we'll knock them down together."
Zhou Jinru's expression was stagnant, thinking, "Are you the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic? You are so reckless. The commander on the opposite side arranged a patrol of six people just to prevent a surprise attack, and everyone was killed."
"We can deal with three at most, no, four. The chief can deal with two, but what about the remaining two? As long as the flare flies out, we won't even have a chance to escape."
Zhou Jinru didn't know whether Adela heard it or not. She was lying beside the haystack with a fierce light in her eyes.
"Wait a minute, let's not be anxious, we need the right approach to solve the problem."
Adela shook her head: "What we need now is to boost morale, not to move forward cautiously."
Now that the leader has made a decision, Zhou Jinru no longer refutes: "When will we do it?"
"soon."
Zhou Jinru visually measured the distance and whispered: "If you are sure, when the three soldiers in front pass by, attack the three soldiers in the back and knock them down as quickly as possible. I can buy you two seconds at most."
"Two seconds is enough."
This is Gavel's voice.
Zhou Jinru climbed up the haystack on his hands and knees, lay down next to Adela, waited for a few more seconds, and shouted in a low voice: "Come on!"
Adela, who was dormant on the haystack, suddenly stood up, drew out the long sword hanging from her waist, and stabbed the soldier closest to her with one sword.
"lighthouse!"
Zhou Jinru shouted softly, and saw a bright flash of light. The three soldiers who turned around to check the situation because their companions behind them were attacked were caught off guard and fell into a state of blindness.
He himself was not idle either. He jumped down from the haystack and went straight to the soldiers who were staying in place due to their abnormal condition. He waved a pair of fists and knocked down three of them instantly.
On the other side, when Gavel let go of his hand, the unconscious injured man fell at his feet.
"Well done."
Adela looked away. The two people said they couldn't do it, but in the blink of an eye they captured six patrolling soldiers, which made people want to beat them up.
Zhou Jinru didn't know what Adela was thinking, so he greeted: "Quick, move faster, take off all the useful equipment on their bodies and take them away, especially the valuable ones, don't let any of them go."
"Are you so short of money?"
Gaviel was dissatisfied with this man's greed for money.
"It's not that I'm so short of money, it's the common people here who are short of money."
The loss of contact between the two patrol teams will definitely attract the attention of the regional commander. For security reasons, several teams will be sent to check the situation. They must create the illusion that the people attacking the patrol team are civilians. No matter how successful they are, at least they must Mislead the other party.
"People like you would have been beaten to death by me a long time ago."
Gavel frowned, holding a soldier by his collar, reaching out from his body and taking out a few etched bullets, a pocket watch, and uneaten compressed biscuits.
Zhou Jinru just glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh: "The food is really good."
"boring."
Jiaweier threw half a piece of compressed biscuit on the ground and searched for another soldier. This time she found nothing. Except for the fallen weapons, she found no other property.
Zhou Jinru saw the half piece of compressed biscuit, quickly picked it up and threw it towards the Sega River. His expression was a bit solemn: "You can throw everything, but you can't leave food behind. Now there is a problem with the food supply in the Eastern District. The civilians who attacked the patrol were bound to take all the food or starve to death."
Jiaweier blushed and whispered: "I know, stop talking, just like the old lady."
"He is indeed the old lady, the servant of Shiva Ash's family. What is he if not an old lady?"
Adela only had one soldier to search, and she quickly completed the work. She put away the weapon that fell at her feet and pointed in the other direction of the street: "Let's go over there."
Zhou Jinru didn't object. The information he had now was too little, and he didn't know how many teams were encroaching on the Eastern Region.
…
…
The young officer carefully looked at the terrain of the sand table in front of him. Several colorful flags were stamped on the sand table, dividing the Eastern District into small grids. For him, this was undoubtedly a game. Who could master all the divisions? The map comes out.
From the launch of the raid to the present, the city guard troops did not encounter any organized resistance. In just two hours, they not only penetrated deep into the Eastern Region, but also tried to separate the region.
Maybe this game will be over soon.
The young man thought, he began to miss the steaming food and the gentle and considerate waiters.
It should have ended earlier. He stretched out his hand to twist a colorful flag and was about to drop it when suddenly the adjutant came in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Mr. Abel, we are very advantageous now..."
Before the adjutant finished speaking, Abel raised his hand and stopped him from continuing.
Abel asked back: "Two of our teams were looted by civilians, why didn't you report it to me just now?"
"That's right, Commander."
The adjutant's words failed to make Abel relax. He stared at a flag on the sand table, reached out to pick it up, and whispered: "The situation has been identified. Is it really a civilian attack?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the Eastern District has always been in chaos. There are many criminals there, and there are villains who are good at loan sharking and disgusting vagrants everywhere."
"Let's check again. If it is really the work of civilians, you should be able to collect the missing weapons, so that you can completely confirm that the East Region is out of control."
"yes."
Although the adjutant agreed verbally, he didn't feel it was worth investing any more energy in his heart. After all, he could have as many worthless things as standard equipment as he wanted.
…
…
"How long do we have to wait?"
It was still the same haystack. The three people squatted here and peeked outside. The patrol teams that had been on both sides before turned back and surveyed the scene of the incident. In the end, they found nothing.
"Zhou, how do you know they will come back?"
"Guess."
Zhou Jinru didn't plan to dwell too much on this issue. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief after watching the personnel who were investigating the scene leave.
It's really safe now.
For facts that have been identified, when repeated reconnaissance, you will not pay too much attention, and even if there are any clues, they will disappear.
"Where do we go now?"
Gaviar was asking Adela, who looked down at the map with the faint light of the street lamp: "Go wherever there is danger. This area has not become a safe zone. The six soldiers we knocked down, but were stationed in The other dozens of people here have already been alert and are not so easily fooled."
"You want to be a firefighter?"
Adela glanced at Zhou Jinru and said casually: "What's the difference between now and putting out a fire?"
"Why don't we fix the problem in this area once and for all?"
"It's too close. It's too close to the Western Region. Not to mention some faction members who have become traitors. Even if we face the powerful royal forces directly, just a few of us can't do much."
Soon, they left this area and headed towards the area where fighting was taking place in the Eastern Region.
Abel, who failed to find new clues, quickly forgot about these things. Instead of boring and boring command operations, he wanted to sit down and have a glass of wine, and then...
"Your Majesty Commander, someone wants to see you."
The adjutant hurried over, and the first words he said made Abel frown.
"who?"
"She calls herself Veronica."
"Invite her in."
A few minutes later, Abel saw Veronica at the temporary command center. She was holding a thick book. Her skin was pale and bloodless. Coupled with the dark red coat, she looked very depressed.
"Your Excellency Abel."
Abel corrected: "You should call me Your Excellency Commander."
Veronica smiled noncommittally, not intending to obey the request, and said lightly: "Sir Abel, you are enjoying the convenience I provide, can you do one thing for me?"
Abel frowned: "What do you want?"
"I want to be alone."
Veronica opened the book in her hand, took out a black and white photo and placed it in front of Abel: "I want this person."
There was a young woman in the photo. Abel looked at it carefully several times and found that he didn't recognize her.
"what is her name?"
"Adela Dawson, if Commander-in-Chief can help me capture her, you will get more."
Abel did not agree directly. Finding someone in the East District was like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, it was not difficult for this woman to make some simple disguises and deceive the searching guards. If she wanted to leave the city, there would be a chance.
Veronica seemed to see Abel's thoughts and explained: "Your Excellency, Commander, Adela Dawson will never leave this city now, let alone change her name and disguise herself. She will definitely appear. .”
"Can you tell me why you want her?"
Veronica's red lips opened slightly and she said softly: "We all want her."
In a daze, Abel seemed to see countless shadows surging behind this mysterious woman, and something was calling his name.
"If it's just this person, I can promise you."
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Brigadier-General."
Her words caused Abel's pupils to shrink sharply.
