Chapter 153 A Battle without Smoke

There is nothing that cannot be done, only creativity that cannot be imagined.

Therefore, there is no doubt that as long as the right method is found, products that no one cares about can sell like hot cakes, and teams that are on the verge of extinction can be revived.

The Gray Army has persisted in fighting for so many years. Although it has suffered many hardships, it has indeed laid a solid mass foundation within a certain range. Therefore, after the big-character poster plan was launched, the development momentum was like a floodgate opening, and the flood poured out thousands of miles, unstoppable!

In just over a month, all rural towns and villages within a hundred miles were covered. The response from the public was also very strong. It can be said that the Gray Army has embarked on the track of rapid development.

Of course, development is not always smooth sailing. While the big-character posters were posted everywhere, they also aroused strong backlash from the knights of the fiefdom.

No one is willing to let other forces recruit people on their own territory, or take away food and supplies, etc. Therefore, after discovering the big-character posters, these lords and knights used high-pressure measures.

But it is a pity that they did not realize the seriousness of the problem and only knew how to severely suppress those active people without thinking about solving the problem from the source. So the result was that their manors were all reduced to ruins overnight.

No one knew exactly who did this. The people only knew that when they got up the next day, they saw black smoke drifting from the address of the fief owner. They instantly entered a state of non-oppression and exploitation, running around telling each other, singing and dancing... One after another, the manors were destroyed, making the remaining nobles tremble with fear. They looked around blankly, but could not find the elusive enemies... The gray-clothed army was naturally the main target of suspicion, but the key was that they had never done such a crazy move before, and the nobles all knew that the gray-clothed army had just After being surrounded and suppressed, his vitality was severely damaged. Logically speaking, the right place should be to recuperate at this time!

At this moment, another shocking news came. A team of supplies transported to the front line was actually robbed by a group of bandits!

While the nobles were cursing these bandits who didn't know how to write the word "death", they suddenly connected the recent events. You must know that those destroyed manors have obvious signs of looting. Although bandits rarely have a history of killing nobles, they now even dare to touch military supplies and rob noble manors. Well, that should be easy. It's over.

The more the nobles thought about it, the more they felt it was possible, so they reported the analyzed situation to their respective lords. The four major lords had an obligation to protect the territorial nobles, and the Ministry of Defense issued a notice, so a grand campaign to suppress the bandits officially kicked off. Of course, we also look for the missing gray-coated soldiers.

The bandits were innocent of this unreasonable disaster, and suffered heavy casualties for a while. However, they have been dealing with the empire for many years, so they have a way to save their lives. So after the initial panic, they each used their own methods to avoid it.

As for the Gray Army, the matter of wiping out the nobles was unclear to outsiders, but some of them naturally knew about it. All of this was done by the gray space team led by Tang En. Since the previous complete destruction of Claude Manor, they had been continuously attacking for days, killing the rising Lord Knights one by one.

Such efficiency is naturally shocking. After General Oumeng learned about this, he couldn't help but sigh, the Gray Space team is amazing!

You must know that he was the one who took the initiative to retaliate violently at the beginning. If he was allowed to do this, he would naturally send an officer to lead a team to bulldoze it. Although this can solve the problem, its whereabouts will soon be exposed. On the other hand, looking at the gray space, getting information, quickly collecting relevant information, formulating combat strategies, running through the night, eliminating traces... It is a completely streamlined operation, not only professional but also professional, which is really amazing.

People like Bosco and others seemed to have complicated thoughts. So soon, all the small moves against Tang En and the others in the station disappeared.

Of course, Tang En's actions were approved by the senior leaders of the Gray Army. Although they knew that they would be exposed sooner or later if they continued like this, Luo Sha and the others were unwilling to stop now. The reason is quite simple, it's that Tang En and the others keep bringing back the nobles' private collections.

Every once in a while, the nobles would hand over tax materials and other things to their respective lords, but that was only a small part. Being greedy, they would get back exponentially from the common people. So every one of their warehouses is full, and almost all nobles have a habit of keeping good things in secret rooms... Although Tang En and the others are assassins, they are also a little bit into the matter of sliding doors and picking locks. I understand, so every time I set out, I always come back with a lot of money.

The Gray Army has no use for those jewels, but as soon as they change hands, they become real gold coins, which can be used to buy food, armor and other things.

This kind of operation lasted for a total of fifteen days in Gray Space, and the result was that more than twenty manors were looted. If the lord's soldiers hadn't started vigorously to encircle and suppress the bandits, they would have been worried about being caught, even if they had to kill all the minor nobles within a hundred miles.

.........Afternoon, at the top of the canyon.

"Boss, this deal can't be done!" David carefully poked half of his head out from behind the boulder, then quickly lowered his head and said.

Tang En touched his chin and sighed: "The world is not peaceful..."

They originally came out to seek bad luck for a lord, but not long after leaving the station, they bumped into these heavily armed lord soldiers in front of them.

The members of Gray Space curled their lips and expressed disapproval of Tang En's words. You must know that it is because of them that the world has not been peaceful recently... "Retreat, boss." Mi Xiu said softly. With these dense soldiers blocking their way, they couldn't even think about getting past.

"Yeah!" Tang En nodded, then asked back, "Are you ready?"

"No problem!" Harry made an obscene gesture.

David, who was staring outside, suddenly said: "Hey, the scouts are coming, what a pity."

Their current terrain is at the top of the canyon on the right side of the mountain road. In such dangerous terrain, as long as the leading general is not careless, he will definitely send people over to search.

Tang En shook his head: "Not everyone is stupid...Luke!"

"Look, boss!" Luke raised a large black bow covered in patterns and aimed at the scouts climbing the mountain.

This bow is the Flying Eagle Bow, a trophy from Tang En's previous kill of the goshawk. Luke's archery talent was the most outstanding among the Gray Space team, so Tang En left it to him. Luke's current ability is naturally not as strong as that of Goshawk, but he can still deal with this target with a range of only 200 meters.

Whoosh - the string vibrated and the bow sounded, and the sharp arrow flew out with a roar.

By the time the scout who was immersed in climbing up reacted, the sharp arrow was already in front of him.

Bang, blood flowers bloomed, the arrow pierced the chest, and rolled down with the corpse of the scout.

"Haha, great job!" David laughed and punched Luke on the shoulder.

Whoosh - Luke's hand shook, and the second arrow missed far.

"Wipe it!" Luke glared at David depressedly. It was obvious that David's actions just now affected him.

"Well, I'm here to train your ability to tolerate interference. The battlefield is never static, so you still have to practice!" David scratched his head and smiled shamelessly.

Wow - the scouts below were suddenly attacked, and a sharp warning sound was immediately sounded.

Whoosh, bang!

The whistle stopped suddenly, and the warning scout was hit by an arrow and rolled down the hill.

"Haha, it really is a good bow!" Amid laughter, Luke retracted his arm and slid it thinly across the bow body like stroking silk. Goshawk has really gained such a big name with this, and the Flying Eagle Bow cannot be damaged. The remaining scouts have already found the bunker. Luke does not have the domineering strength of Goshawk to shoot directly through the stone. block, so he did not continue to attack.

At this time, the lord's soldiers in the distance had been warned, and their formations quickly dispersed and surrounded the hills.

"Let's go!" Tang En nodded and walked to the cable rope behind the mountain. Needless to say, this is the unique escape method of gray space - trapeze.

Gliding, landing, rolling... dozens of people quickly landed on the small mound on the opposite side. Then the muscles in David's arms bulged, he shouted loudly, and the rope and the tree trunk were pulled over.

Since the deal couldn't be done, Tang En and the others would naturally have to retreat. But the marching direction of these soldiers was towards the station. Although the soldiers in gray clothes would also give inducements later, Tang En took over the matter first. Because there was a bandit's stronghold not far from them, and there was nothing going on, so why not give these bandits and soldiers some fun... Soon, Tang En and the others found their position again, watching the bandit's stronghold being quickly destroyed by the lord's soldiers. Defeated, and then massacred... "Tsk, tsk, we wasted so much effort." Tang En patted the dust on his clothes in boredom, turned around and curled his lips, "Let's go... a group of scum with only five combat abilities!"

.........Twain and the others have done this kind of convenient and shady things many times, so they don't take it to heart at all. When he returned to the rear, he told an officer these things and asked him to pay attention to the movements of the soldiers, and then walked towards the station.

Today's settlement is no longer a simple wooden house with a fence. Borg's suggestions have been adopted, so now large-scale construction projects can be seen almost everywhere. The Gray Army has been hunted for a long time, and therefore, most people have a longing for home. Now this wish is being realized continuously, so the enthusiasm of all the people is very high. With the collective efforts of everyone, the outer city wall has begun to take shape.

Ambition always grows with the growth of strength. After Luo Sha and the others decided to establish a base, they planned to build the Gray Army's first city here.

"Hey, Tang. Come back so soon. What did you gain today?"

Tang En turned around and saw Luo Sha approaching with a smile on her face. Recently, because of the secret possessions of those nobles, her hands cramped when counting money.

"Well, I met the Lord's soldiers halfway." Tang En explained.

"Oh..." Luosha sounded a little disappointed, then raised his eyebrows: "It's good to come back, I just have something to ask you. Well, come with me for a walk."

Tang En was stunned, then dismissed the gray space team and followed Luo Sha as he walked slowly around the outside of the city wall.

"Thank you, Tang!" After walking for a while, Luo Sha touched the stone foundation and sighed, "I thought it would take me a lifetime to do something... Haha, the Gray Army actually has its first city. It's really Thinking about it makes people feel dreamy... Oh, I should have said sorry to you, that plan was yours, but now it is in Josiah's name."

Tang En touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Chief, if you have anything to say, just tell me..."

After getting along for a period of time, Tang En also got to know Luo Sha a little bit. This leader's character is not just strong. On the contrary, she is the kind of person who has a strong purpose and can be strong or soft in her methods. The person who is praising and apologizing now must have something to help with.

"You... are boring." Luo Sha gave Tang En an angry look.

"Uh, okay!" Tang En sighed and suddenly looked interested, "Then chief, what do you plan to name this city after it is built?"

Luo Sha nodded with satisfaction and thought about it: "I really haven't thought about the name... Well, how about calling it Dawn City?"

It's really old-fashioned... Tang En touched his nose and flattered him calmly: "Well, not bad, not bad! It's concise and connotative. It's a good name."

Luo Sha didn't look happy at all: "Did you know? I have observed you. Whenever you are embarrassed or want to lie, you touch your nose!"

"Uh..." Tang En's hand that touched his nose froze again. To be honest, he was a little surprised. He and Luo Sha had not met many times, but the other party actually accurately mentioned his little habits. . Observant and insightful... He is indeed a born leader... "I feel really sad for Joshua... Haha, forget it, I won't tease you anymore!" After saying something out of nowhere, Luosha said seriously, "I do have something to ask you for help with."

I knew it... Tang En sighed secretly, nodded and said, "Chief, tell me."

"Thanks to you, the lord's soldiers have recently started to clear out bandits on a large scale. Our big-character poster plan has also been affected, so..." After a pause, Luo Sha's eyes flashed with light, "So I discussed with several ministers Decide, the next step is to go to the city to promote it. Well, Josiah is still in charge of this matter, and your gray space team will accompany you for protection."

"Okay!" Tang En agreed. Have we finally reached this point... The population of villages and towns is always limited, and now everyone knows that the potential of the big-character poster project is far more than that. If they go to cities to promote and succeed, the strength of the gray army will be greatly improved again based on the huge population base.

But the difficulty of promoting the city is also obvious, as it is the center of gravity of Bran's aristocracy. They will never allow the gray-coated army to get involved. Moreover, that is where the official propaganda of the gray-coated army is that they are mob gangsters... So no matter which way you look at it, the prospect is full of obstacles.

Another battle without smoke...
