Chapter 673 Looking for the Hidden BOSS

ps: ps: Today is my birthday, best wishes to the civet cat~! ^-^

In the evening, outside a remote mountain range. Tang En, who rushed from Hanshui City without stopping, finally met up with David and others.

"Haha, boss, long time no see."

"It's been a long time, just a week."

"Uh, that's right... But boss, we've all heard about what you did in Moma City. Create a god, tsk tsk, this is simply amazing!"

"Oh, this, it's nothing. Just average, third in the world."

"Well? Who is first and second?"

"...Has anyone ever told you, David, that you have no sense of humor?"

…

After saying hello with a few words of ridicule, Tang En looked serious, looked around at the barren mountains and ridges, and frowned slightly: "Where is that old guy? Is this the hiding place of the high-level officials of the Bounty Hunter Guild?"

David didn't answer immediately. Instead, he laughed strangely: "Hey, boss, take a guess."

"Hey, I find that you are getting more and more courageous!" Tang En raised his hand to strike, but David shrank his head, but did not make any obvious dodge action. Of course, hiding was useless, his movement skills were not at the same level as Tang En's.

However, Tang En was just showing off. After raising his hand, he retracted his hand and touched his chin. He looked around and pondered for a moment, then murmured in a low voice: "No wonder the secret agency failed to dig them out before. It turns out they were hidden deep in the mountains and old forests. Well... well, if this is the bandit village, is it some kind of bandit village..."

"What the fuck?" Hearing this, David opened his mouth with shock on his face. "Boss, can you guess this?"

"David, you idiot!" Harry came from a short distance in black armor. A look of contempt on his face. "Boss was just talking to himself. You admitted it to yourself so quickly. How could anyone not guess it?"

"Uh..." David was stunned when he heard this, and then slapped his forehead, decisively realizing that he was being stupid. Tang En raised the corner of his mouth, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Continue to maintain your simple-mindedness. This is good! Because as soon as I see you, my sense of superiority in IQ arises spontaneously!"

"..."

All joking aside, Tang En immediately learned the details from Harry.

About two days ago, when Tang En and the others took action in Moma City, the old man in brown clothes finally couldn't bear the pressure and quietly left the previous hiding spot with his people. Although they cautiously went around in circles after that, it was undoubtedly impossible to get rid of David and the others, and they finally arrived here, quietly sneaking into the mountains and disappearing.

After David and others tracked this, they did not alert the snake. After all, their hiding and tracking skills were first-rate. But if they really took action, the two earth-level warriors beside the old man in brown clothes would be enough to make them disgraced. So just to be on the safe side. While they conveyed the news back to Hanshui City, they carefully explored the surrounding environment.

Not long before Tang En arrived, David and the others finally determined the hiding place of the top brass of the Bounty Hunter Guild. It was unexpected, because they did not choose to hide in the town, but quietly occupied a bandit stronghold.

I have to say that the guild’s senior management was very clever! The north is vast and sparsely populated. Except for densely populated towns, the vast jungles and mountains are rarely visited by people except for special occupations such as bandits, bandits, and mercenaries. And hiding here can indeed greatly reduce the possibility of being discovered.

Moreover, after walking around the cottage, Tang En couldn't help but frown a little.

Lying down in the pile of rocks, Harry introduced in a low voice: "Boss, there are almost no flaws in the terrain of this cottage. It is surrounded by mountains on two sides, and a narrow path leads directly to the outside. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. One side reaches directly into the abyss, which ordinary people cannot cross. Only the cottage There is a suspension bridge inside connecting the two sides, well, it should be their escape route."

Tang En nodded slightly when he heard this: "It's not easy..."

With such tight security, Tang En could go in by himself, but the cottage was no better than the manor. Not to mention that he was not sure whether the other party's senior officials were disguised. Even if there was no disguise, it would be a problem to guess where the other party was hiding in the cottage, so he was alone. There is little point in infiltrating.

And if you bring David and the others, the possibility of being exposed will be greatly increased. After all, not everyone in the gray space is good at sneaking in. The level of main attackers like David is a bit worse.

After thinking for a while, Tang En asked in a low voice: "Have you investigated the inside of the cottage? What is the strength of the other party?"

"I went in once in the afternoon. The defense near the village gate was very strict, and there were a lot of guards. Because there were two masters stationed nearby, they should be prefecture-level warriors. I was not sure about sneaking in, so I had to retreat."

"Well, you did a good job. It's almost done. Let's go back first." After avoiding the guards and approaching the stronghold to observe, Tang En pondered for a while, and then retreated to the outskirts of the stronghold with Harry.

"Boss, what should we do?" Although the situation was somewhat difficult, the expression on David's face did not change much. On the one hand, he was confident in his own strength, and on the other hand, he believed that Tang En could figure out a way to deal with it.

This is both David's strength and his weakness. Loyal enough, but at the same time lacking some ability as a leader. To put it bluntly, he is a talented general, but he cannot be a commander-in-chief! Of course, people are different, and David does not consider himself to be handsome. His idea is very simple, that is, to complete the tasks assigned by the boss, and other issues are not his consideration.

"It's very simple." Tang En narrowed his eyes and waved his arm, "Since it's difficult to get in, let's force them out. Let's go and prepare some things first, and we'll make plans later in the night."

Harry on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned over his hand and showed the dagger: "Then boss, should I lead someone to pull out the 'nails' around first?"

The so-called nails are also hidden whistles. If they want to do some action, they naturally have to clean up the surrounding area first. However, Tang En waved his hand and turned to leave: "No, someone will clean it up. Just go and prepare with me."

David and Harry were startled when they heard the words, and then they thought of something and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. But he didn't say anything and silently followed Tang En's footsteps.

Needless to say, the only ones to clean up the hidden sentry were Mi Xiu and the others.

Tang En said that Michu could not meet David and the others, but knowing each other's existence was inevitable. For example, the previous battle in Hanshui City. It was David who was saved by Michu... It was impossible to completely cover it up. After all, both parties are very familiar with each other. A mask alone can't hide anything.

Of course, what should be concealed should be concealed, at least not to let Josiah know that Michu is still alive. And if David and the others tacitly cover it up, the effect will be much better.

In addition to these reasons, the most important thing is that Tang En needs Mi Xiu as his assistant. As I just thought, David is not suitable to be a leader on his own, while Tang En is just a human being and is powerless. It will undoubtedly be much easier to have someone like Mi Xiu who knows the basics to help.

…

The terrain of the mountain village can be said to be dangerous, but it is impossible to say that there are no flaws. In addition, this is not a confrontation between two armies, and the copycat is not a strategic location that must be captured, so Tang En naturally does not need to think too much.

The bright moon hangs high and the twilight is endless. Shortly after entering the middle of the night, thick smoke rolled in silently from the front of the cottage, which is the entrance of the Yangchang Trail.

At first, the guards at the cottage didn't pay much attention. Fogging at night was a normal thing, but things changed when they smelled the obvious fire in the smoke. Suddenly.

Beep...a ​​shrill police whistle instantly broke the silent night sky, just a few breaths later. There are crowds of people everywhere in the village, and bonfires are everywhere. With several roars, several small city-defending crossbows were pushed out near the village gate.

After some slightly chaotic movements, the people in the village looked around, but could not find any trace of the enemy. Before he could open his mouth to curse, suddenly, there was a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... a shrill, piercing sound that broke through the air.

Huoran raised his head, and on the towering peaks on both sides, dozens of firelights fell one after another like stars falling to the ground. No one was hurt, but they were nailed directly to the buildings in the village, and the firelight suddenly became bright.

"Damn it!" "Your mother, you are so despicable..." "Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly..."

Bran is not as cold as the Northern Wilderness, and the climate is not as cold, so most of the buildings here are made of wood, instead of being basically made of stones like the Northern Wilderness. It is precisely because of this that several buildings quickly burst into flames under the continuous attack of rockets.

At this time, the people in the village immediately understood the opponent's intention, which was to directly use fire attacks to destroy their tight defense line.

A simple tactic, but undoubtedly effective. Not only does it make things like city defense crossbows completely useless, but it is also unrealistic to extinguish fires. The village is located in the mountains, and water sources are inherently a problem. Even if there are mountain springs nearby, distant water cannot save nearby fires.

Of course, it is possible to isolate the fire source, but will the people in the village do this...

On the left side of the mountain peak, while holding a telescope and looking around, Tang En casually answered David's question, 'Will the other party docilely withdraw from the mountain stronghold?'

"The opponent's strength is not low, and there are a lot of guards following him. Logically speaking, it is absolutely no problem to defend the stronghold, but... haha, they are in the open and we are in the dark. They don't know that there are only so many of us. With the No. 10 person, there is no way to judge whether the stronghold can be defended."

"There is also the old guy who came here before. Although he did not participate in the battle on the Hanshui River, he must know the details. Tsk tsk, one air-level warrior, three earth-level warriors... all died in our hands with such force Li, do you think the other party is afraid? Come on, he must be afraid!"

"Even with the unknown and a little bit of fear in my heart, what choice do you think they will make..." After a pause, Tang En handed the binoculars to David and raised the corner of his mouth, "Look, they made an extremely wise decision." Decision. Well, give it a thumbs up!"

David was stunned, and quickly raised his binoculars, and saw a crowd of figures hurriedly retreating toward the rear suspension bridge in the stockade filled with flames. At the same time, there were still a large number of guards left near the village gate, holding crossbows and aiming at the narrow path covered by thick fog as if facing a formidable enemy... In fact, there were only a few members of the Gray Space there who had set fire and then roared.

After blinking, David turned his head in confusion: "Just...that simple?"

"What else?" Tang En shrugged, then reached for the telescope, squinted at the suspension bridge behind the stockade, and murmured to himself, "Well, let me see which one looks more like a hidden boss, come out, come out... Eh , there are not many masters..."
