Chapter 998
2014-10-13
Three days later, in the evening.As the sun sets, the twilight gradually grows. However, this did not affect the prosperity of the capital city of Titus. The lights of various colors are like stars in the sky, and the wonderful nightlife has just begun.
Of course, the excitement also needs to be divided into locations. The capital city of Titus is probably the most prosperous and affluent city on this continent. It has the longest and most main roads and the most lively commercial streets. But even so, there are poor people everywhere, even in poor and remote places. However, it has to be said that even in the slums, the situation in the capital city of Titus is much better than other cities.
Therefore, if it is described as an adjective, it can only be said to be a little deserted, such as this street at the corner of Nancheng District.
"didn't expect this lunatic actually came to the capital... do you really want to try it and see if you can assassinate the king?"
"Ha, not really, Brother Master, you are over-hearted. The situation is like this. From our side, the king is naturally much more important. But from that guy's point of view, ten old kings may not be as good as one of his beautiful girls. Hair! So, Ann—"
"Well, you're right. But, Philip, aren't you his friend? Why don't you seem nervous now?"
"Nervous? Why?"
"...hehe, it seems that you really have confidence in him, so you don't expect him to come tonight?"
"This is I didn't say it, that guy may act. Master, don't tell me what to say, I have said everything that should be said and should not be said, I really don't know anything else, if you don't believe me, you tie me up and torture me to extract a confession. ...Hey, look. Sir Grandfather and that guy are also friends. He is also affectionately called Little Tang. Isn't he calm now."
"No big or small! Good tea is blocked. Keep your mouth shut!"
"Uh. Tea, tea..."
...
Small and historic room The tavern seems to have been reserved now. Except for the wooden table on the second floor near the window, the entire tavern is very quiet. And even though it is called a tavern, what is now in front of several people is tea with a curling green mist.
Of course, this is not the poor reception of the tavern, in fact, it is to give ten bear hearts and leopards to the tavern owner who is now praying to the sky downstairs. He didn't dare to neglect these people. In other words, regardless of what these people are drinking tea, even if they suddenly want to drink the royal jade brew now, the owner of this tavern dares to knock on the door of the royal castle overnight, and then ask for something confidently...
There is no other reason, just because the skinny old man sitting at the east end of the wooden table is Titus Guardian God, continent number one expert, Sword God Woodin!
This is Supreme glory! The tavern owner is thinking now, just waiting for Sword God to leave. He sealed up the table by the window and kept it at home. or. Put up a fence on the spot for visitors to look up to... Of course, it would be better if Lord Sword God could leave some calligraphy, then this ancestral tavern will be on fire...
Okay , and regardless of the shop owner downstairs who is in boundless reverie, let us turn our attention to the upstairs.
At the wooden table, there were four people in total—Woodin, Haita, Winslyn, and Philip, who had no form anywhere.
Sword God Woodin hadn't climbed the mountain in years, let alone the capital city of Titus, except for that quiet trip north. Now suddenly appearing here, naturally it will not be an alcohol addict. In fact, if this is the case, Titus Wang Ting will definitely collect the world's fine wine in a very short time, and then line up to send it to Woodin's small residence...
Woodin will come here, only for one reason, only because of one person !
Three cups of tea, "I said, Senior Brother, is your intelligence reliable?" Looking back from the figure of the lithe and graceful young woman who turned the corner, Philip glanced around, He didn't seem to find the target of Shunyanyuan, and suddenly couldn't sit still, "Don't say I'm blowing your confidence, that guy is very slippery, and it's basically useless to wait. Otherwise, we still break up, and I still have an important date. "..."
"Oh? Is there any other lady in the capital who doesn't know your Imperial Capital flower..."
"cough cough...cough cough..." He coughed violently, Secretly glanced at Woodin, whose eyes were calm as water, and Philip sat upright and waved his hands, "Master, please don't talk nonsense, I have something important to deal with. However, it is not impossible to postpone, well, I am still here to accompany everyone."
Hearing this, Haita chuckled twice, but instead of chasing after him, he pointed to a place outside the window and said, "I can't say whether it's reliable or not. Did you see that clothing store? That's the secret branch of the Grey Cloth Armed Force's intelligence-gathering agency. Tang En sent someone here a few days ago to get information about the Royal Castle... Of course, that's what we sent there before. Yes. There is no problem with the information, but there are reservations on some key points. If Tang En has read the information, he should come over and inquire in detail. Well, the appointment time is almost now."
Philip Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment: "Tsk, no wonder the old people often say that people who look honest are often full of bad water. Brother Master, you are not honest..." Philip seemed extremely frivolous with his fingers. However, after being calmly glanced at by Woodin, he immediately entered the Condition of observing the nose and the heart.
"Is there any problem with the people in that institution?" At this moment, Winslyn who was drinking tea suddenly asked, which was also the first sentence he said tonight.
Winslyn was seriously injured after the Battle of Songhai. But this is just a trauma. After a week of treatment at the High Priest make a move, the bits and pieces were basically healed. What Winslyn is really hurting should be her heart. As soon as the injury healed, he went up the mountain to retreat. He was taciturn and gloomy all day long. No one knew what he was thinking. If Woodin hadn't come down the mountain himself this time, he wouldn't have followed.
Now listening to his questioning, Haita subconsciously looked at Woodin and nodded lightly. Whether or not Winslyn really learned a lesson, he learned a lesson. It was only now that he heard the name Tang En, which made him feel humiliated, but instead of shouting and killing him immediately, he thought calmly and asked about the idea, which is a gratifying progress.
"It should be fine," Haita explained. "Actually, we didn't find them here. It was about ten days ago. They contacted us on their own initiative. Well. The agency Chief-In-Charge."
paused, shaking his head and said with a smile, "Most of the people in Grey Cloth Armed Force are from poor backgrounds and have a hard life. To put it badly, poverty is what they dare to take. The biggest reliance on weapons and resistance. Because of poverty, they have nothing to lose, and they have nothing to fear. Because of poverty, they are eager to change the status quo. They even sacrifice their lives for this. But when they are poor, they see the world so that's how it is prosperous, and after staying in this prosperous world for a period of time, after knowing the pleasure, the biggest support will no longer be firm..."
"Speak human words..." biting the teacup , Philip interrupted in a muffled voice.
Haita smiled nonchalantly and raised his finger: "If it succeeds, a new identity, a huge fortune that will allow him to enjoy a prosperous life for generations."
Putting down the teacup, Philip twitched his lips: "Idiot, why don't you know you want another title. That guy is not so cheap."
"Hehe, on the contrary. He is much smarter. Noble status. Although it can shine on the surname, it is too eye-catching and it is easy to be targeted. In this case, this generation will basically come to an end without waiting for the next generation to enjoy the shade.”
Philip chuckled sarcastically. , opened his mouth to say something. Woodin turned his head and looked towards Haita, and asked, "How is the situation on the front line in the past few days?"
The topic changed suddenly, Haita shook his head, but it was natural: "Not very good. A few days ago, Wang Ting received a series of good reports, saying that the frontline Three Great Legions had repelled several waves of barbarian attacks. But this can only fool those old and confused councilors. They didn't know that the place to repel the barbarian attack was at the second defensive line on the border of the empire. ...I remember it took about a month and a half for the barbarians to push there last year. But this time, half a month didn't work..."
"Why?" Woodin frowned.
"Some of the reasons are because the level fortifications that were just broken last year have not been fully repaired, and the resistance effect is greatly reduced. But this is not the main reason..." Thinking of something, Haita's brows are also slightly wrinkled, some Doubt, "I went to the military headquarters this morning, and I happened to meet them summarizing the recent war. The final conclusion is that the overall strategy of the North Desolate Tribe this time is very... strange! Weird!"
After a while, without waiting for Woodin's inquiry, he continued, "Over the years, the old commander of the tribe, Angros, was the one who commanded the barbarian army to fight against me Titus, but he died at the hands of Ziyi last year. So for this time We don't know the newly appointed barbarian commander, nor do we know his behavioral character, tactical style, etc. He is completely unfamiliar."
"Absurd! Don't you know the other side's coach if you don't know it? What happened to the war?" Hearing this, Woodin couldn't help but flash a sullen look on his face.
"Of course it's not just like this." Haita said with a bitter smile, "Actually, the tactics used by the opponent this time are very similar to those used by Angros in the past. This should be intentional, after all, the changes are too great. , the barbarian army will also have problems of incompatibility. However, apart from this, there are also some different changes. Well, how should I put it... Today's barbarian army has become more like a regular army..."
Philip's unfathomable mystery chime in asks, "What do you mean by that? Armies aren't like armies, what else could they be like?"
Shaking his head, "Listen to me... we all know, barbarian armies The terror of the fighters lies in their individual combat ability, with one block three, or even one block five. As for tactical implementation, army formation, etc., it is almost zero. To put it bluntly, they know how to fight, but do not know how to fight smartly. Some good fighters, even if the superior officers saw it and issued an order, would often encounter problems when they fell on the barbarian army that was specifically implemented below. If there are other changes in this, it is even more difficult to know how to deal with it, delaying the fighter. Well, this is one of the reasons why we have been able to fight the barbarians all these years."
"But it's different now. Today, the barbarian army raging on the front line still relies on their strong The physique goes to battle, but there are more tactical tricks. Take Xiongguan City, which was recently breached, for example, although Ziyi is already not in, and there have been many incidents within Legion, Zichen Legion's battle strength still surpasses all Legions. No. 1. But such an iron army was easily defeated by an equal number of barbarian armies, and the outer satellite cities were easily beaten to the bottom of Xiongguan City, and the city was lost overnight... Until later the military department integrated all wartime intelligence , when restoring the campaign at that time, it was discovered that this was an extremely standard rushing and attacking battle. Note that this standard refers to the tactical standard of our army. But now it appears in the barbarian army, and it is even more detailed..."
Seems to have discovered something extremely terrifying, Haita's tone was a little dry. Somewhat tight. The resulting sound was weirdly shrill. took a deep breath, "I asked the people in the military, and they gave a guess. If you want the barbarian army to fight according to such a standard, you must take into account all the minute details, and then make predictions, deductions, decisions... and finally send out Hundreds of thousands of orders, so that every barbarian army has military orders to follow and rules to follow. But this is almost an impossible thing..."
Shaking his head. Shaking his head again as if to convince himself, Haita spread his hands and said, "However, one thing can be confirmed. That is the North Desolate Tribe, once again a great commander!"
Words Falling, seems to be infected by Haita's nervousness, there is some silence in the house. For a moment, Woodin said with a slightly gloomy expression: "Beijing has a great commander, but Titus has lost a war god forever. This battle...it's hard to say..."
Seeing that his grandfather was in a bad mood Gao, Philip hurriedly said comforted: "These are just the Master's speculation. If it's not accurate, grandfather should not think about it. And the battlefield is changing rapidly. It's hard to say."
"Yeah, master, Philip is right." Knowing that Sword God master's most close combat body Condition is not good, Haita felt a little regretful after speaking, and persuaded , "And even if the barbarian commander is really so powerful, he is only one person. We have so many excellent generals in Titus, can't we suppress him?" A person... Ziyi is also a person, but the North Desolate Tribe can't lift his head for decades..."
Seeing that the persuasion was not effective, Haita and Philip were in a hurry and were about to say it again. What, Winslyn, who had been silent, raised his head and squinted his eyes, flashed a few cold lights, and looked towards the window: "This carriage has been running around the street three times."
"Huh?" In a word, the attention of several people was instantly pulled back.
It's hard to beat the grass to scare the snake. There are only four people here, or only Woodin, who is afraid that Tang En will see the weak spot. For this reason, they didn't even light oil lamps when they drank tea. It is precisely because of this that none of the non-professional followers noticed anything unusual, but in the end, Winslyn, who was still silent, suddenly made a surprising speech.
Haita and Philip were both stunned when they heard the words, subconsciously looked towards the window, and did see a carriage that was somewhat familiar to them slowly passing by... They turned their heads together, looking towards Woodin.
Woodin turned his gaze, instantly calmed down, pondered, and said, "Wait and see...Little Tang is extremely good at Camouflage Concealment, and he has reached the pinnacle of attainments in this area. Confirm, I'm not too sure."
"Uh... so powerful?" Philip was stunned, Winslyn seemed to have found something, and his eyes narrowed again, "The speed of the car has slowed down."
p>The speed of the black shed carriage is indeed gradually slowing down, as if it were about to stop by the roadside. And not far from the carriage is the clothing store that is still doing business!
Either tensing up, or leaning over gradually, or holding the teacup and hovering in the air... Several people had different reactions, but their eyes were all on the carriage in the black shed. It fell into silence.
In the end, the black shed carriage stopped in front of the clothing store. paused, the driver knocked on the wall of the car and shouted something, a silhouette opened the curtain, rubbed his eyes, scratched his head again, and walked out of the carriage a little confused, and then he looked around to confirm the place.
There are not many people on the street, but the signboard lights of various shops on both sides of the road are bright. Although it doesn't make it as bright as day, it's not a problem to see people's faces clearly.
The public face, the public face with no features!
"Fuck!" Philip exclaimed in disbelief. Of course he knows this face, but who is Tang En? This, this... it doesn't make sense!
"It's really coming?" Not to mention Philip, even Haita looked incredible. It can be said that although this plan was planned by him, it is indeed rudimentary. Judging from his past impressions of Tang En's, he really has no confidence that this trap master can enter this simple trap. The idea I held was nothing more than a try, and there was nothing to lose if I failed, but now it has really succeeded! Could it be that this is the so-called Grand Dao Reaches The Simple truth?
Haita's thoughts were confused, and Philip's shocked mind went blank... Only Winslyn, the moment he saw Tang En's face clearly, smashed the teacup in his hand with a bang, and stood up suddenly.
On the field, only Woodin looked calm like water. Looking at Winslyn, who clenched his fists and trembled slightly, he sighed secretly and shook his head slightly, as if a little disappointed. Immediately turned his eyes, looked at Tang En who walked into the clothing store, and slowly got up.
"Let's go."
"Uh... yes! Let's go!" Haita immediately returned to her senses when she heard the words, flipped her hands, and immediately handed a simple and simple long sword to Woodin. forward.
Sword God, of course named after the sword, this simple and simple long sword is Woodin's famous sword. Although he didn't have much hope before, in order to guard against the unexpected, Haita still invited this sword down. After all, to deal with a pervert who can pick five Sky Rank powerhouses, even if he is as strong as Sword God, he doesn't dare to be too big.
However, Woodin did not take the long sword, but glanced at Winslyn who was standing beside him with a complicated expression, calmly said: "I mean, go back to the mountain."
