Chapter 270 No Way to Run, No Way to Escape...

The north is very uneasy these days. All kinds of shocking news are like the tides on the sea. One wave rises after another, and finally another wave directly kills him on the beach... There are not many wars on the northern front. Having said that, let’s take the recent noisy rear cities as an example. A few days ago, Hanshui City held a high-end banquet. Savage cult members infiltrated into the banquet. In the end, countless nobles and wealthy businessmen were killed or injured! As a result, before the news had spread completely, three days ago, in Shanxi City, known as the "Holy City of the North", in broad daylight, the Shanxi Goddess Statue in the city square, which was the first-generation saint statue of the Temple of Light, was , was actually destroyed to pieces!

Well, if you thought this was the end of the shocking news, you were totally wrong.

One day in the autumn of the year 555 of the Bran Gregorian calendar, a piece of news dominated the front pages of tabloids in many northern cities.

The title may be different, but the general idea remains the same. The Gray Clothes Army, which has been restless recently, has finally found its lair. The specific details of how to find it are also mentioned above. It is very official. It was through the unremitting efforts of the Northern Military Supervision Office that they saw through the other party's many disguises and finally successfully discovered the lair of the gray-clothed thieves.

In fact, over the years, Bran officials have discovered the main force of the Gray Army many times, but sometimes they choose to ignore it. Sometimes I get excited and think it's time to suppress them, so I send out troops to randomly capture them in the high mountains. The most important one among them was probably the time when soldiers from three major legions were dispatched more than half a year ago. From the current point of view, the reason why the Bran Empire chose to encircle and suppress them at that time was probably because they had judged Beihuang's intention to attack in advance, so they wanted to clear up the trouble first.

However, no matter how they were discovered, cleared up, encircled and suppressed, etc., it never became as big as it is now... Just the discovery of the location made the headlines in most of the cities in the north.

There is naturally a reason for this, and it cannot be ruled out that it is because the Gray Army's recent lively propaganda has constantly slapped the tabloids in the face, which has made them worse. But the most important reason is that the Gray Army has built a city!

Yes, you read that right... Even though many nobles and commoners subconsciously rubbed their eyes when they saw this, they couldn't change the black and white words on it, "Build a City?" The Gray Army actually built a city!

It has to be said that over the years, the Gray Army has given the impression that they have been displaced and constantly on the run. Then it is very likely that this impression will last forever... But now, everything has changed. Under unknown circumstances, a city built by the Gray Army actually rose up in the barren mountains.

The newspaper did not describe the city too much. It seems that because the specific situation has not yet been obtained, it was just described as an enlarged version of the thieves' cottage. This is of course not true. In the eyes of insiders, this city named Shuguang is no worse than the northern city in terms of scale, and even exceeds it in some aspects.

No matter how big the city is, in the eyes of Bran officials, it is absolutely not allowed. Cities are symbols of rule, and only empires have the right to build or abandon them. Therefore, if it were something else, considering that the battle on the front line was in full swing, even if the Bran Empire discovered the whereabouts of the Gray Army, they would not take the initiative to pay attention to it.

But it's different now. At the end of the newspaper, it was said that the Imperial Defense Department had gathered tens of thousands of troops and set off towards the lair of the gray-clothed thieves. His attitude was very optimistic, saying that within a few days, the city would be bulldozed and all the gray-clothed thieves would be wiped out.

This attitude is naturally difficult to convince, but this speculation is not entirely nonsense. If the Gray Army is still the same as before, breaking into pieces when encountering encirclement and suppression, and running into chaos all over the mountains. Then these tens of thousands of soldiers are really useless, and it should end as usual with loud thunder and light rain.

But now that the gray-clothed army is building a city and defending it, the situation is very different. In the minds of some people, the gap between the Gray Army and the rabble is actually not that big. Even at a glance, can you, a civilian, have better combat qualities than regular soldiers? Therefore, in their view, as long as they fight a tough battle, the Gray Army will definitely lose.

And this is also based on lessons learned from the past. When the Gray Army was first established, the leader before Luosha led his troops to capture a city in Bran. What was the result? Not only the city was destroyed, but the Gray Army was almost disintegrated.

So no matter which way you look at it, most people feel that the Gray Army has made an absolutely stupid move this time and their future is dark. The difference may just be a matter of how many days it lasts... There are many opinions and discussions. However, this war has not been thought about yet, and now it is just words of mouth, without much significance and impact... Of course, the impact of this on Tang En and the others is great, even no less than a bolt from the blue. Degree.

To be honest, it was expected that Dawn City would be discovered and then attacked. It was just a matter of time. But the problem Tang En and the others are facing now happens to happen "sooner or later".

You must know that Tang En only learned that he has a pupil of space last night. Now he is planning to run away, but he came here... The station was attacked, and the surrounding area must have been designated as a military area, occupied by those soldiers from the Armaments Department. Not to mention that Tang En was still injured. Even if he was intact, facing these tens of thousands of troops, he could only pinch his nose and be completely helpless.

There is no way to run, no way to escape... What does it mean that misfortune never comes alone? What does it mean when the house leaks and it rains all night? That's it.

In this case, it's no wonder that Tang En wailed, "Let me pass out..." He had just woken up when these two things hit his forehead one after another... After feeling depressed, he ran away. The plan was automatically cancelled, and about twenty people returned to the room and sat in silence.

After a while, Joshua took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, tell me, what should we do about this?"

No one spoke, but someone secretly set their sights on Tang En. No one here except Josiah knew about the destruction of the goddess statue in Shanxi City. This matter is really big, and if it is revealed, it will definitely involve a lot of consequences. Of course, people like Enoch would naturally speculate. But at least on the surface, no one knew about it, so the explanation given by Joshua last night was that Tang En had offended a space magician and needed to be avoided in time.

Therefore, everything is focused on Tang En.

To put it bluntly, even if there is a pupil of space, it is only on Tang En. If he dodges, everyone present will naturally not be in any danger. Of course, this is a bit extreme. After all, Tang En had just helped them wipe out all the bounty hunters without losing anyone... Now that this was the case, what else could he do... Tang En thought about it for a while, then shook his head helplessly and stood up, "Let's continue running... …This time, I’m alone!”
