Chapter 255

Gawain listened carefully to the reports of the soldiers on the patrol. From these reports, he learned that what the patrol encountered was not some simple outlaw robbers or exiled mercenaries, but a group of experienced and highly organized professional soldiers.

The patrol's report can't be wrong, because their captain is a veteran who has served the Cecil family since the old Cecil era - all the veterans in the territory and the good soldiers who have grown up have been scattered and beaten. Entering into the various recruit teams to act as "seeds", these people will not have any major problems in the judgment of the battlefield.

If it weren't for the black technology of the Cecil Combat Soldiers, it was a creation of Zentraedi for the conventional army of this era. If the patrol captain had not detected the presence of the enemy in time and responded accurately, it would have turned into a difficult and fierce battle. , but there was no if on the battlefield. Faced with weapons and fighting methods that were completely incomprehensible, these suspicious militants who tried to infiltrate Cecil's territory suffered a crushing defeat. In the end, only two of the ten-man team survived.

Gawain looked at the seized items brought back by the patrol team—weapons, armors, bags, and backpacks. Many things were burnt and melted by the scorching rays, but there were also many well-preserved objects, but none of them could be seen. They don't even show the slightest sign of affiliation, and they don't even have any obvious style. Although each piece of equipment is of excellent quality, it is obvious that their owners do not want to use these equipment to reveal their identity.

The map tools and sketches that Amber mentions are kept on a separate table, along with other things that Amber finds quite suspicious.

Gawain picked up the rough maps depicting the trend of the dark mountain range, frowned and observed carefully, he noticed that there were not only maps, but also some incomprehensible cipher marks - but even if he couldn't see the name, Guess and guess what these symbols mean.

Although Amber is quite shrewd in the professional field, this situation is obviously incompatible with her major. She looked at the tools at a loss, and asked Gawain curiously: "Where do you think these people come from?"

"Why not? Of course it's our 'good neighbor'," Gawain shrugged and threw the sketches back on the table. "Well-equipped, well-trained, infiltrating from the Dark Mountains, drawing maps and gathering intelligence along the way, Who else would you say would do this?"

As he said that, he pouted and looked at the unmarked weapons and equipment: "These whiteboard equipment are specially prepared to hide people's eyes and ears... Does this make Ansu people fools?"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Heidi walked in. She heard Gawain's words and couldn't help shaking her head: "You can't say that—although as long as these people are caught, Ansu's border guards will deal with them. The origin of the spy is well known, but as long as there is no evidence, the arrest is only for nothing. After all, the two countries have not declared war in plain sight. No matter whose spy is caught, it is enough that everyone does not admit it. Most nobles A creature that is both cheeky and brazen."

Amber glared at Heidi: "Hey, you are also a noble, your whole family is a noble!"

"But it doesn't affect my evaluation of other nobles," Hetty rarely hit Amber's head with a stick (probably there are too many people to keep her graceful), she just glanced at Amber, then walked towards Gawain, "Ancestor , I have arranged for additional staff to be sent to the mine, and Knight Byron has also personally gone."

Gawain nodded approvingly, while Heidi showed a worried look, "Ancestor, do you think these imperial soldiers are a signal for war?"

"They have already entered the Dark Mountains, and the war is not far away," Gawain did not say anything comforting at this time, but bluntly stated his judgment, "The eastern defense line of the Ansu Empire is impregnable, and the Loren family is a piece of Stones that cannot be chewed, only the dark mountains extending from Ansu to Typhon and adjacent to the wasteland of Gondor are the weak points of the entire border - but this natural danger does not allow the army to pass through,

Typhon can only send small infiltration troops in to do something, and these infiltration troops will only come in handy when they are really ready for war. "

Speaking of this, Gawain closed his eyes slightly, and the satellite top view of the entire Dark Mountains came to his mind.

The Dark Mountains meandered across Anzu and turned south on the Typhon border, forming a natural barrier, and eventually the mountain range gradually leveled off between Typhon and Gondor wasteland and merged into the earth.

He could almost sketch out the lines of action of these Typhon soldiers in his mind.

"I'm worried that there are more than this group of troops that have infiltrated," Gawain opened his eyes and looked at the two Typhon prisoners of war who were lying on the mat and had recovered some spirits. He walked towards them and looked down, "You know yourselves. Captured by someone?"

One of the captives looked at Gawain without fear. Although the pain made his face distorted, his voice was still calm: "I heard that you are Gawain Cecil."

"Is there anything you want to say?"

"It's time to ask, your people have already asked, and they haven't asked anything," the Typhon soldier said, scratching his neck, "Even if you were really Gawain Cecil, we wouldn't say anything. anything."

"I know that you still have companions, scattered into several teams and lurking in the dark mountains, while surveying the map and infiltrating towards Ansu territory, if I guess correctly, you will even lurking in Ansu territory, waiting for orders to wait for an opportunity. Destruction, right?" Gawain said calmly, with Gawain Cecil's experience and knowledge and his own quick thinking, he could easily imagine that these infiltrating troops would be able to successfully enter the enemy's territory. What use was there, and every time he said a word, the expressions of the two prisoners became even worse, "Your information is obviously wrong-I guess how your commander described the southern border of Ansu before you left. The... barren land, no one to open, the defense is empty, relying on the natural danger of the Dark Mountain Range to maintain peace for a hundred years, right? That's why he let you run over with confidence and boldness."

"No, we know your existence, ahem...and your pioneering leader," another prisoner said, "cough...our information is better than you think, if you are really seven hundred years old The former hero...you have to know that times have changed..."

Gao Wen looked at the two captured soldiers in surprise. He was very surprised by the other's excellent psychological quality and pressure tolerance. Not everyone can maintain a tough stance in front of a resurrected legend, even well-trained ones. The same is true of the soldiers of the army - most professional soldiers of this era rarely have a sense of honor and "faith in the country", but the two prisoners in front of them are obviously different. They put their life and death aside and are loyal.

How did Typhon train the army? They also realize the importance of instilling values ​​in soldiers?

Gawain calmly unleashed the coercion of a powerful mortal, even if his strength was at a discount compared to the original version of "Gawain Cecil", this coercion was not something that ordinary people could endure. Under the dual oppression of erosion and mental power, the faces of the two prisoners quickly turned pale, and Gawain said calmly: "Don't be too confident in your own information, 'soldiers of this era', you forgot How did you fail?"

The eyes of the two prisoners were obviously shaken.

"Only the ordinary soldiers of Cecil's leadership are patrolling the mountains, the most ordinary ones - they are enough to easily destroy the so-called 'elite' like you, you can think about it a little, your comrades and a whole What will happen to a similarly armed legion - your intelligence is too backward, young man."

After saying this, Gawain directly put away his coercion. He did not continue to try to get information from the prisoner's mouth, but walked to the door and left a message to Wright before leaving: "I will leave these two to you. Take care of them and try to cure them."

After leaving the detention room, Hetty caught up with Gawain: "Ancestor, are you planning to intimidate those two people, then let Pastor Wright heal them and create a chance for them to escape, and finally let them take the initiative to run to warn him Companion, can we track it down and catch it all?"

Amber, who ran out together, was surprised after hearing Heidi's guess: "Can you still do this?"

Immediately afterwards, she sighed: "You have a really dirty heart as a noble."

However, Gawain shook his head directly: "Don't think about it, this kind of specially trained soldiers are all trained, they won't be fooled like this."

Heidi was very surprised when he heard this: "Then the last thing you said to those two prisoners was..."

"It will be more powerful after saying a few words and then walking away."

Hetty: "..."

She didn't know how to reply to an old ancestor who would say the words "it looks more powerful" casually, so that she would appear to be respectful, polite and elegant, so she simply hypnotized herself to forget what Gawain said just now, stunned. It was to continue the topic: "Then will you continue to interrogate the two prisoners in the future?"

"The results of the interrogation won't come out in a short time, but their accomplices are probably lurking around here. It's hard to say whether those guys will cause major damage in a short time," Gawain frowned, looking in the direction of the Dark Mountains , he is not worried about the defense of the territory - the sentries, walls and magic traps and rune alarm devices in all directions are enough to ensure the security of the territory, and it is impossible for a small infiltrating force to lose their minds and attack a pioneering town with military protection. , but he was very worried about the mines, logging farms and development strongholds hanging alone outside the territory, "I need to go into the mountains to see it myself. Amber, you come with me too."

"Ah?" Amber was stunned subconsciously, but then he finally remembered his identity as a guard, and his ears drooped, "Oh..."

The battlefield of the encounter in the mountains hadn't been cleaned up yet, and the patrol team was limited in manpower. They just took the prisoners and some of the seized goods back to the territory to return to their lives. When Gawain and Amber arrived at the scene, the Cecil soldiers who were sent to finish were carrying those soldiers. Still blocking the corpses on the mountain path, Gawain took Amber to inspect every corpse and the entire battle area, and finally something suddenly caught his attention.

It was a piece of paper that fell on the side of the mountain road. It seemed to be an order written by a superior to these soldiers. Half of the paper itself had been burned by the scorching rays, and only a few broken pieces were left on the remaining half. Words that don't connect at all.

But it was those few broken words that made Gawain's brows slightly wrinkle.

"What's the matter?" Amber saw that Gawain stopped and couldn't help but leaned up curiously, "What's written on this piece of paper... I don't understand."

"This trace... I look a little familiar," Gawain had an incredible expression on his face, "Could it be... that guy?"
