Chapter 378
2014-08-16
Tempest is coming, Clouds rising in the eight directions!Limited to transportation and other issues, the flow of news in another world is indeed a bit slow. However, two days later, the news of the establishment of the Grey Cloth Armed Force finally radiated from the surrounding cities of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to the periphery.
There is no doubt that for a while, most of the people in the north gathered their attention, except in the frontline areas where the battle was in full swing. Everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how big the city of Grey Cloth Armed Force is, since it has been established, there is absolutely no reason to give up easily, so this is destined to be a fight that is different from the previous hide-and-seek.
Direct battle, winner is the king, loser is the villain!
In this way, the hearts of the northern people are naturally very complicated. There are those who are secretly worried about the fate of the Grey Cloth Armed Force, thinking that they are too hasty. There are also those who are comforted and ridiculed, feeling that the bandits in gray will collapse when the Titus army arrives... Even if they are indifferent, they will not refuse to use this as a chat after dinner.
The north is completely lively.
The official newspapers of various cities will not miss this opportunity, and almost every day they put the latest progress on the first page of their newspapers, "The army has officially entered the boundary of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and the gray-clothed bandits are panicking. "!" "Small contact operations have been carried out, and good news has been reported frequently..." The form is very good! It gives the impression that the Titus army is in triumphant progress all the way, and will soon destroy the ignorant Grey Cloth Armed Force like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood... proud! The person who edited the newspaper was completely overjoyed. I have to say that the experience of being slapped in the face some time ago is really a painful memory. Now that I have the opportunity, isn't that a hit a person when he's down? Coupled with the recent disappearance of Grey Cloth Armed Force's publicity in various cities, this gave them the illusion that the other party was already timid and flinched, and suddenly a collective climax... Of course, these things have nothing to do with the current Tang En doesn't matter much, it's not that he doesn't care about Grey Cloth Armed Force, it's just because he has powerless to defend himself, he doesn't have the time to spare.
Tang En's Condition is, on the road, on the road, or on the road since the day before leaving from Gran City... The advantage of the carriage is that it is not bumpy, and there is an old horse in front, and the owner occasionally hides in When the carriage takes a nap, it will also move slowly along the roadside, ensuring that it will not take you into the ditch.
If it is merely this, the speed will naturally not be too fast. Tang En now pays more attention to recuperating from injuries, so he doesn't care. Of course, this is also because he has found a specific place to escape.
The land area in the north is much larger than that in the south, but there are fewer cities that can be called cities, so the distance between neighboring cities is naturally farther. A few drive every other day, and more every other week.
Such a distance is naturally not conducive to Tang En's escape. He has already become proficient in the law of the pupil of space, and he senses it about once every half a day. The time difference is a good opportunity for him to escape. As long as he can calculate the time and enter a densely populated city, it is really not easy for the other party to find him within a few kilometers.
Of course, it would be a tragedy if you couldn't enter the city in time because of the distance, and were caught up in the wild. Don't forget that the Grand Magician can fly, it is condescending, and the range that can be monitored is naturally very broad, and it will be difficult to get rid of it.
Tang En is going to Fire Beacon City, which is not far from here. The name sounds like a battlefield. However, Tang En didn't intend to fight the opponent here. He came here because there are four neighboring cities around the city, and the distance from each other is almost half a day away, just like the satellite city attached to the frontline heavy city.
..."Ah..." Just before noon, Tang En got out of the carriage, yawned and stretched a lot. Immediately, there was a crackle in the joints all over the body, and then grinned, with a reluctant expression on his face, "Wait... When will this fucking life in another world end."
If you summarize Tang En's coming to another world The trajectory is simply a history of blood and tears. Basically, they are chased, chased, and chased by all kinds of people... It is a miracle of life that they can live to this day.
With so much emotion, Tang En jumped off the carriage, first took out the grass to treat the old horse well, then jumped on the frame and picked up the whip, with a crisp sound, accelerating the road.
"I have a little donkey, which I never ride. One day I rode it to the market on a whim. I had a little whip in my hand, and I was so proud..."
…Soon, the Fire Beacon City city wall came into view.
Tang En took a few glances, and couldn't help but be stunned. It really deserves its name, and the name full of Battle Qi really didn't take it for nothing.
A three-four zhang (one battle = 3.3 meters) is enough for the general city wall height. After all, it is not a front line, so it is difficult to experience war. However, a simple visual inspection of the city wall of Fenghuocheng is at least not less than eight feet. And the ordinary city wall is generally dominated by azure rock, supplemented by bricks of other colors, which looks beautiful and energetic. But Fenghuocheng is a black rock, it looks very solid and twelve points, uh, ugly and rustic!
As it gets closer, the watchtowers on the city wall, the firing crenels used by the large defensive crossbows, etc. are all available, but unfortunately, there are no actual weapons there. From a distance, it looks more like It's a beehive... This kind of urban style seems to be aimed at war, but the key point here is the calm northern hinterland. And even if the North Desolate Tribe comes in, what kind of role can this defensive heavy city alone play? After all, there are so many roads, you can go straight around if you have legs... So to sum up, this city always looks like an indescribable joy.
After a little tsukkomi, Tang En drove the carriage from the south city gate into the city. Without stopping, go north along the main road. In the end, it took about half an hour to cross the entire city and stop next to the North City Gate.
Get off the car, replenish some food, and then find a pub in the vicinity and ask for a glass of wine to sit.
The tavern is nothing special, but there is a bard playing and singing on the banjo. The piano skills are single, and the voice is good. As for the content of the singing, well, it's the story of an aristocratic girl cheating on the attractive spectacle.
This is also inevitable, which temple you go to, where you recite the scriptures. Everyone here is a commoner. If you sing a cadence opera here, not only will you not be rewarded, but you will also be beaten out for disturbing the wine.
Tang En came in at just the right time. After the noble girl missed her strong lover under the moon, she couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness in her heart, and resolutely walked over the wall... Oh, there is love world ah! But are you sure it's just love in your heart? No physical...Tang En took a sip of his wine, making a bad guess.
Of course, the bard will not let go of this kind of crowd-attractive spectacle and stimulating the senses. It doesn't matter if it's vulgar, it's good for both refined and common people. At the beginning of a person, it's sexual instinct... Soon, the girl and her lover are rolling firewood in the mill... The tavern is silent, and the audience's reaction is also very face-saving, or holding a glass of wine for a long time. Mouth, or eyes staring at the bard with longing and longing, as if he is the one who is in charge... At this moment, "En? Fake..." Tang En's body trembled, feeling slightly His hot left shoulder cursed softly.
Needless to say, naturally the damned space pupil reacted again.
Putting down the glass, Tang En sighed, his expression particularly distressed. Alas, how do you say hello, you can do things like this that disturb people's appreciation of great literary and artistic creations? Shaking the scenery, the scenery... Shaking his head, Tang En stood up, regardless of whether the other party was a hundred miles away, since he felt the sensation, he had to leave his current position.
He walked over, and in the eyes of everyone with surprise and contempt, cast a Silver Coin in the hat in front of the bard. Then, grinned like a toothache, he walked quickly towards the door of the pub.
Tang En certainly understands everyone's thoughts. This is the climax of the song. Leaving at this time is either prudish or incompetent...Fuck! Angry, I must be angry. Isn't this a reason for me to kill you... Tang En walked out of the tavern with a dark face, directly boarded the carriage, whipped out of the north city gate, and went to the next city.
......This is a chase that the two sides do not face each other. After the location of Fire Beacon City is exposed, the only way to go to the next city is Gur City.
The journey is always boring, especially the journey of a person. So let's press the fast-forward button with infinite resentment.... In the evening, Tang En slowly carried the carriage to the city of Gul, and will enter the city before the city gate closes.
Gol is much smaller than Fire Beacon City, just a small city. After Tang En came here, he put away his leisurely expression, and after asking a few passersby, he drove the carriage to Nancheng District.
There are also secret agencies here. Joah gave Tang En the addresses of the agencies in each city. Although there is no publicity now, the agency personnel have not withdrawn.
Needless to say, the hidden location is still the same remote house. After Tang En came here, the agency Chief-In-Charge had been waiting at the door for a long time.
After a brief greeting, Tang En asked directly, "Is there any news?"
"Yes, Captain Tang." A voice suddenly came from the house , then a young man trotted through the gate.
"It's you." Tang En eyebrow raised, then took the initiative to step forward to say hello.
This young man was the one who came out to welcome Tang En after Joah when he first arrived in Shanxi City. He was one of the top executives of the secret agency.
Simple greetings, the young man took out the sealed cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.
"Thank you, you've worked hard." After taking the cloth bag, Tang En smiled and saluted.
The young man was with Joah when he left. Appearing here now, it is undoubtedly a messenger who rushed over in a hurry. And looking at how he has endured the hardships of a long journey, he should have just arrived.
"Captain Tang is too polite." With a wave of his hand, the young man hurriedly returned his salute, with a look of admiration on his face. Although because of Joah's relationship, he is not too happy to see Tang En, but after all, it is a small matter.
After finishing speaking, the young man and the agency Chief-In-Charge invited Tang En into the house, and then walked out without suspicion.
Tang En didn't hold back when he saw it. He tore open the well-closed cloth bag, poured out a few folded papers, and opened it with the oil lamp to watch.
Clear and neat, with sharp edges and corners, it is indeed Joah's handwriting.
The content is very concise, except for the last sentence of concern and greetings, to the effect that two strange people entered the clothing store last night, they should be the members of the Twilight Hunter Group who were chasing them. Their physical features were drawn, on two other sheets.
That's right, that's exactly what Tang En asked Joah to do before.
Actually speaking of which, Bounty Hunter's profession is really similar to Assassin, and it is purer than ordinary Assassin in another world. Tang En could vaguely understand their style of conduct, coupled with the deep affection between members of the Twilight Hunters. He expected that the other party would go to Shanxi City and enter the clothing store. So I asked Joah to send someone to wait there first, and it turned out to be waiting.
Of course, there is also Oliver's own credit. When the station was chaotic, Joah was far away from the battle, so he didn't see Oliver's appearance. But the one in Shanxi City is a high-end clothing store, and it's not that there are no men's clothing in it. But you are a brawny man wearing all kinds of animal skins and carrying a big sword, a black robed man wearing a hooded robe and a mysterious sneak, no matter how you look at it, you think that the probability of smashing the field is higher than buying clothes... Of course, everything is in the world. It's easier said than done. It seems a little incredible that this kind of guess can succeed, and this is why the young man just showed admiration on his face. However, Tang En is not conscious in this regard. This kind of speculation is based on imagination, and success or failure depends mostly on luck. And even if the other party didn't come, the secret agencies were all over most cities in the north, and they were all chasing after them, and it would be a matter of time before they found it.
After reading it, Tang En directly touched the paper to the flame, threw it on the ground when it ignited, and watched it burn to ashes. Flick your hands, wave away.
Tang En then picked up the other two papers, unfolded them side by side on the table.
One is a brawny man with a reckless face and extremely short hair, and the other is an odd man with a black robe that only shows the part below the nose.
This portrait is still very vivid, Tang En recognized Oliver at a glance. As for the other, it is naturally the Magician of space that has not been met.
Whew... took a deep breath, Tang En frowned clicked on the portrait. His face wasn't ugly, but it was definitely not bad either.
There are three remaining members of the Twilight Hunter Group, and now there are two. This result is not the worst estimate, but it also shatters Tang En's beautiful fantasy.
If only one person comes, even if it is Magician in that mysterious space. Waiting for Tang En to deal with the injury to recover, he will also take the initiative to attack. But now there are two people, and Tang En also knows Oliver's strength. The high Earth Rank, like Eunice, is also an opponent who needs to work hard and cannot be guaranteed to win.
"I still have to move rescue soldiers!" Tang En picked up these two portraits, with narrow eyes slightly narrowed, "I just hope you can do more, don't let me down..."
