Chapter 899 Choose a General Among the Dwarves (Still Five Thousand)
A person's force is limited after all, especially on the battlefield. The so-called enemy of a thousand people or an enemy of ten thousand people is really just a saying.
To give an example that is not very appropriate but has many people talking about it, who is more powerful between the sword god Wooding and the military god Ziyi?
In terms of individual strength, Zi Yi's strength should be quite high, but she is certainly no match for Wooding. But if the two really conflict, the outcome is not so easy to say... Well, it should be the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand. If Wooding strikes first, even if Ziyi is among thousands of soldiers, there is no way he can escape as Wooding rushes into the formation and takes off his head. However, if Zi Yi was prepared, struck first, carried heavy weapons on the battlefield, and led an army to surround Wu Ding's residence, then Wu Ding would not be able to escape the fate of dying due to exhaustion...
Of course, this is just speculation. If that kind of scene really happens, it's really hard to say who will win and who will lose...it can only be said that it is very subtle, and both sides have the opportunity to kill the other.
However, it can be simply inferred that Tang En, whose strength is not as strong as Wooding, has a poor success rate in assassinating the mysterious barbarian commander.
It is precisely because of this that although he is extremely worried about the situation on Joshua's side, Tang En has been very careful and patient since he entered the frontline combat zone. First, he quietly approached the front line, then pretended to be a Bran scout, and now he turned into a barbarian scout... Step by step, he advanced the plan in an orderly manner, which was steady and practical.
No matter which field it is in, when a party that already has a considerable advantage puts down its posture and slowly plots, the threat level will undoubtedly increase greatly!
For now, I dare not say anything else, but I want to avoid this chaotic scene. Tang En is naturally at ease...
soon. Under Tang En's invisible escort all the way. Before the expected evening, the intelligence relay team passed through the chaotic battlefield unscathed to find the target.
This is also the first time Tang En has seen anything like a headquarters in the barbarian army.
"Your Majesty, the Great God of the Wilderness! We actually came here?!" Temur stepped forward to negotiate with the guarding barbarians, while Tang En and others were waiting outside. A scout scratched his head and looked at the dozens of kilometers safely traveled behind him, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yes, when I was walking through the dense forest, I saw the large group of Bran Saber soldiers walking past me. I felt like I was dead this time..."
"Ha, if I had known that I would be so lucky today, I would definitely have roped in a few people to gamble and make some extra money. What a pity..."
…
Listening to several people's surprised expressions, Tang En smiled naively and kept echoing, as if he couldn't believe it. His acting skills were perfect.
Immediately, after Temur presented his pass token and other tokens to verify his identity, the negotiation was successful. Tang En and the others successfully entered the military camp. Although the barbarians are loose by nature, such a military powerhouse naturally does not allow them to move around at will. Just a rough observation. Under the leadership of a barbarian, they came to the conjoined tent in the right corner of the military camp.
Well, if I read it correctly, this tent should be produced by Bran. Even the Zichen Legion logo on one side has not been washed away. It is obviously a trophy. But now its role is to support the intelligence agency of this barbarian army.
Once here, after Temur handed over the thick letter, the mission of this intelligence team was completed. But he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the first tent and sat casually chatting in low voices.
Seeing the strangeness, Tang En leaned over and asked, "Captain Temur, the mission is accomplished, shouldn't we leave immediately?"
Temur was stunned when he heard this, and then he patted his head and suddenly realized: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that this is your first time on this mission, brothers Sabah. Well, it will take some time. Wait for the army intelligence from other places to arrive, let this place The adults will integrate it. If there are no doubts or mistakes, we can leave. If there are any, we need to ask some questions to verify.”…
Tang En nodded clearly after hearing this, indicating that he understood. Another scout, who was also not a scout from Temur's team, then asked: "How long do we have to wait?"
"Well, it's hard to say." After hesitating for a moment, Temur grinned slightly with a proud smile, "In the past, most of us were latecomers. We didn't need to wait long, just asked a few questions and left. But This time...tsk, we should be the first to arrive!"
If you arrive first, you will naturally have to wait for the scouts who arrive later.
"Are we the first?!" exclaimed, a barbarian scout was overjoyed when he heard this, "Captain, are we really the first here?"
"It's not easy for me! I didn't expect that I could get the first place, haha, it feels so good..."
"Yes, those weird guys always looked down upon us in the past. This time I want to see what their faces are like..."
The current military camp of the Zhennan Army is undoubtedly the central command post of this forward front. As a result, there are naturally many scouts from various armies gathering intelligence here. This time, they were able to stand out among many peers. Although there was an element of luck in it, they did indeed grab the first title. This undoubtedly made Temuer and others very excited. There are many countries taking turns to sit. Today The excitement and ecstasy of arriving at my home.
Of course, Tang En didn't care about this. On the surface, he was excited and agreed, but in his heart, he frowned and considered what to do next. According to his estimation in the afternoon, this first-hand intelligence information should be sent to the mysterious barbarian commander. I don't know whether this speculation is wrong or because the other party is more cautious, so he added a procedure in the middle to go first. The information was sent here...
It's best to be the latter. Now Tang En can only trust his own judgment and start with intelligence. This is the only possibility to get close to the mysterious commander.
However, it must be said that although this information was only transferred and added with a program, it has caused a lot of trouble for Tang En now. It has already made him consider whether to give up his current identity and find a higher-level disguise again...
After all, a small fight is not a long-term solution!
While weighing, the tent curtain was suddenly opened from outside the door. Tang En, who was extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment, immediately turned his attention and saw three figures with scimitars hanging on their waists, wearing black leather armor, and unusually thin and slender figures compared to ordinary barbarians, flashing in... …
After being slightly startled, Tang En blinked. A feeling of déjà vu arose in my heart.
Here Temur and the others also discovered each other. The loud voices in the excited discussion suddenly dropped. Both sides looked at each other. Immediately, there was a cool feeling of being watched by a poisonous snake in the dark. Tang En also instantly remembered where the familiar feeling came from, and he recognized the origin and identity of the other party.
A natural battlefield scout, a hidden snake tribe, and a dark snake guard.
Well, that’s the ‘yin and yang guy’ that Temur and the others were talking about just now! ’
Looking away, the leading Dark Snake Guard glanced at the empty tent and focused his attention again. After looking up and down, he stepped in front of Temur, put his hand on his left chest, bowed slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "General Bast's scout team is here to report. Excuse me, who is your lord?"
"Uh..." Temur was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at each other with Tang En and others, and instantly realized that the other party had misunderstood.
This is not surprising. Although they have been treated, traces of injuries can still be seen on the three Dark Snake Guards. And no matter how you think about it, a complete scout team cannot only consist of three people... obviously. In order to deliver this information, the other party suffered a lot of losses.
And this way. Naturally, these three Dark Snake Guards didn't think that anyone else could arrive before them, so after entering the tent, they saw Tang En and the others sitting here relaxedly, and they took it for granted that they were superiors who received information, rather than coming from behind. Colleagues from other places.
I have to say that the contempt implied in this is really unpleasant!
"Ahem." After a slight cough, Temur stood up and returned the greeting. He raised his hand and pointed at the back of the tent. His eyes suddenly brightened up like bull's eyes. "Um, I misunderstood. The adults are inside..."
After a pause, he looked at the stunned Dark Snake Guard, and grinned honestly, "By the way, I would like to introduce myself, Temur, captain of the Western Route Army's scout team!"
…
…
One after another, scouts from all over the country continued to arrive, including ordinary barbarians and elite scouts such as the Dark Snake Guard. When entering the tent, everyone was more or less in a state of embarrassment. The injuries were all minor, and the number of people was uneven. Some were hurriedly carried out and sent to the treatment center for wounded soldiers directly after handing over the information...
What was a bit strange was that no matter how many people came into the tent, the atmosphere never became lively and felt strangely dull. And the source of this situation can be easily seen by even ordinary barbarians who are slow to react. In this way, the number of glances secretly peeking into the inside of the tent gradually increased...
On the left side of the inside of the tent, Tang En and others were sitting at attention. Across the aisle, on the opposite right side, were the three dark snake guards with cold temperaments and somewhat ugly looks.
There isn't much of a conflict, it's just a matter of first come, first served. Of course, Temur did have the intention to show off just now, but that was all. He didn't dare to say anything obviously irritating to cause conflict. This could be easily seen from the fists that were tense and loosened behind his back with a calm expression.
The Dark Snake Guard is not an ordinary character. Although the opponent is currently at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, if there is a conflict and Tang En does not take action, Temur's side will be hung up, and the result will not change if there are double the number of people.
Of course, this is no ordinary place. Therefore, even though they were unhappy, the three Dark Snake Guards, who knew they were being despised by the other party, did not dare to take the lead in attacking. Besides, it’s not unreasonable. They took the initiative to misunderstand before, and the other party not only pointed out the correct point, but also politely introduced himself... Okay, this self-introduction does mean a bit more, but it is a normal communication after all. , so I can only suffer this boring loss.
In the end, the two sides just sat facing each other, staring at each other, as if they were playing a game of killing each other with their eyes...
Another hour passed, it was already evening, and the dusk was getting darker. There were about a hundred scouts gathered in the tent, and the curtain had not been opened for some time. Obviously, almost everything that should arrive has arrived, and those who haven’t arrived probably can’t come...
The deadlock was quickly broken. An anxious-looking barbarian messenger hurriedly walked into the tent, passed through the crowd and entered the inner tent. He should be reporting something urgently to the officer.
Although there was a lot of movement in the tent at the moment, Tang En, who had a hearing that was unusual for ordinary people, was still able to sensitively capture the few words that came out of it.
"I haven't come back...I've searched everywhere...Maybe he's dead...Sending information...What should I do..."
Tang En's heart moved slightly when he heard this. His body, which was already close to the inside of the tent, moved inward, opened his mouth, yawned, and leaned against the tent. Close your eyes. Like taking a nap. In fact, the ear is pressed lightly against the oilcloth. But it was trembling slightly.
A moment later, when the barbarian soldiers were ordered to leave again, they hurriedly left. Tang En opened his eyes, thought for a moment, reached out and touched Temur's back lightly, "Captain, I'm going out for a while."
"Convenience...what convenience?"
"...Squatting in a latrine."
"Oh, go ahead, come back soon."
He stood up speechlessly. Tang En stretched, stepped out from behind Temur and walked into the aisle. Sensing something, he turned around and saw the slightly gloomy eyes of the three Dark Snake Guards. He was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth, showed an extremely honest smile, and nodded affectionately.
For a moment, the three Dark Snake Guards were obviously caught off guard by the rather sincere smile. They paused and then looked away with disdain.
Tsk, that’s rude... He smacked his lips. Tang En stepped out of the tent and faced the suspicious gazes of the guards on the side. He leaned over familiarly: "Hey, man, where is the latrine?"
"Mao pit? Why do you want that thing?" The barbarian guard pointed to the ravine in the distance, "You can find a place to solve it yourself."
"Uh, thank you."
So, primitive society is better... Glancing at the barbarian messengers who had not gone far, Tang En walked in the opposite direction, walked around a tent, and disappeared from the sight of the guards at the rear.
After a moment, Tang En, who looked comfortable, opened the curtain and walked into the tent again.
Slightly stunned, the nearly a hundred scouts who had been sitting on the ground all stood up and formed a circle, unable to see what was happening inside. But after listening to the questions and answers, Tang En understood instantly. It should be that the barbarian intelligence officer inside came out to check the differences in intelligence and was questioning the scouts from various places.
In other words, it's time to leave. However, when Tang En saw this, he shook his head slightly, with a mysterious smile on his lips, found Temur and the others, and stood behind them.
Tang En was obviously late, and the barbarian intelligence officer had already finished asking questions. He could only roughly tell that the situation here was good, which meant that Bran was passive. Of course, this is normal. I believe that as time goes by, Bran’s battle situation will become more and more unfavorable...
"Okay, it's getting late, everyone should go back under the cover of night..."
"Sir!" Just when the barbarian intelligence officer was about to wave the scouts present to leave, the curtain was opened again. The barbarian messengers who had left a moment ago hurried in, squeezed through the surrounding scouts, and came to the barbarian intelligence officer. After whispering something vaguely into his ear, the latter frowned instantly, with a gloomy and angry expression: "A bunch of damn bastards! Why don't you send someone to get them back!"
"Sir, I have searched everywhere and it is indeed not in the camp."
"waste!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
…
Haha... Silent chuckles, all the scouts present didn't know what happened, but of course Tang En knew it.
After they, the local army scouts, sent in the battle situation information, they would naturally have nothing to do, and the scouts here would pass it on to their superiors. But when the barbarian messenger entered the tent for the first time, Tang En heard that the person they planned to transfer the information to was the captain of the scout brigade, who had not appeared for a long time and seemed to have died in battle.
In desperation, the barbarian intelligence officer could only choose another candidate. But when he heard this, Tang En knew that the opportunity had come. He went out and followed the messenger for a while. He first used a little trick to delay the messenger, and then he found where the scout was, flashed in and out, and took the messenger away. The scout captain selected by the barbarian intelligence officer and a few officers and scouts who seemed to be the leaders came directly to the scene. When the messengers who arrived later announced the order, they couldn't find anyone with enough weight...
In this way, the next thing is simple. Intelligence focuses on timeliness, and there is no delay in arriving. And all the scout officers here have disappeared, so what should this barbarian intelligence officer do?
The messenger, who wanted to make amends, looked at the baffled scouts around him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned closer to whisper a few words.
The barbarian intelligence officer's expression softened slightly after hearing this. He obviously thought the idea was reliable, but he was still a little hesitant. After pondering for a while, he finally said: "You were able to successfully deliver the information here in the chaotic environment before. Naturally, you have a chance." A warrior of his own ability. Well, there is still a mission here and we need some manpower...Which of you thinks you are qualified for it?"
This is to select generals, and it is also to choose generals among dwarves. There is no way, information always has to be sent. Since the manpower on our side is not strong, we can only ask for foreign aid.
However, although the barbarian intelligence officer was asking who could do the job, his eyes were actually always on the few Dark Snake Guards present. Obviously in his opinion, if there is a qualified candidate here, it is among these people. The reason why he didn't give direct orders was because he still wanted to find a captain. But since I am not familiar with these scouts, I would like to hear some opinions. Of course, it would be best if that person could convince the public and be directly elected...
As soon as he finished speaking, a low buzz suddenly sounded in the field, and all the scouts seemed very excited and eager to try.
Those who can be scouts, even if they are not human spirits, will definitely have faster brains than ordinary barbarians. Although the barbarian commander didn't say it explicitly, the scouts instantly realized that this was a big opportunity that they couldn't miss!
Among them, the three Dark Snake Guards who arrived after Tang En and the others smiled at each other and took a step forward with great confidence: "Sir, we..."
The surrounding scouts were immediately anxious when they saw that they had been taken one step ahead. However, when they saw the three Dark Snake Guards stepping out, their expressions visibly paused and hesitated, seeming to be very fearful. At this moment, a roaring sound came from the crowd,
"Isn't this simple? If you think you are good enough, go up and have a fight. Whoever wins will go!"
