Chapter 599: The truth about the "Iron Army"
Spell confrontation is the result of a comprehensive comparison of "quality" and "quantity". The stealth skills on the traversers are very high, but once they are confronted with war-level spells, they are still invincible - if you want to sneak into the military camp, it will cause The stealth technique against spells is more appropriate for the stealth skills of the thieves.
Of course, the traversers also know about these things, but they don't care - being able to get close to the range covered by the anti-invisibility spell is enough for them.
When the spells on their bodies disappeared, they rushed out without any hesitation. The silhouettes were like arrows from the strings, so that the Thracian sentries had no time to resist. Those who responded faster were still in time to shout "enemy attack"; those who responded slower were knocked unconscious before they even had time to shout.
"Walk!"
The panda gave an order, and without delay, the crowd immediately ran away with the captured sentry. When the masters of the Thracian army arrived, they only saw the collapsed sentry tent, and several sentries had disappeared.
Of course, they refused to give up, and immediately dispatched people to search around. But in this dim night, where can you find it? It was not until the sky was bright that they finally found some clues. Following these traces, I found the temporary camp of the traversers, but still did not find the traversers.
"Where did they go?" Inside the empty temporary camp, a Thracian tracker carefully observed the surrounding traces and said in confusion, "The whereabouts of seven or eight people shouldn't just disappear like this! "
"Maybe it flew into the sky," sighed another scout who was good at tracking. "Less than ten men dared to attack our camp, and I wouldn't be surprised if they could fly away. "
Track masters, look at me, I look at you, sighing, unimaginable.
Of course, flying in the sky will leave traces, but if you want to track such traces, it is not something that mortals can do. At least he has to be a great magician, and he can barely do it.
What's more, what if I tracked it down? You might just fall into the trap.
The Thracians finally gave up the pursuit, but reported the attack to the king, waiting for the king's judgment.
"Go ahead!" After Richard got the news, he pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.
In his opinion, even if the news leaked, it would not affect the operations of the Thracian army. The Earl of Tarakhan suffered a demonic disaster a few years ago. In order to fight against the terrifying demon and the monster army under its command, Tarakhan's elite troops were almost completely lost, even the previous generation with the name of "Northern Cunning Fox". Earl Tarakhan couldn't afford to be seriously injured because of this. Afterwards, there was a civil strife in the Tarakhan family. The eldest son tried to take advantage of his father's serious illness to seize power, but he was taken down in one fell swoop. The second son became the heir instead, and he officially became an earl soon after.
Although the new earl was the exact opposite of the rude and savage image he had before he succeeded to the throne. He was a gentle and diligent, self-disciplined and frugal lord who was good at recruiting talents and developing his territory. After all, the Tara Khan leader had already been hurt before. To make up for the loss of thousands of elite soldiers is definitely not something that can be done in just two or three years. The current Tara Khan collar is a fat sheep, rich, but unable to fight.
And the current weather is enough to make it difficult for the lords who want to support Tara Khan to send a large army in time-the end of the year and the beginning of the year are the coldest times. Although the weather in the Kingdom of Terrera is a little warmer, it is still very difficult to gather a large army to go out in this weather.
Those powerful people have fighting qi to protect themselves, that's all. In this kind of weather, ordinary soldiers, who travel long distances in the cold wind and heavy snow, are prone to diseases, and perhaps half or more will die before the war begins.
It is impossible for the lords of Terrera to pay such a huge price in order to support the Tarakhan.
As for the Trellera royal family, the truth is similar.
After letting the herald pass on the order, King Richard sat on the chair and thought for a long time before saying to the Sword Saint of Frost Ice, "What do you think the Royal Family of Trellera will do?"
"Probably send some experts to Tara Khan to help out."
"I think so too." Richard nodded. "It can't be of much help."
At this time, the passers-by had already taken several captured sentries to a mountain more than a hundred miles away from the Thracian military camp.
Just as the trackers had guessed, they cast flying spells shortly after leaving the Thracian barracks and walked straight from the sky. After flying for hundreds of miles in one breath, he found a mountain peak and fell.
After landing, they did not immediately start interrogating the Thracian sentries, but first built a temporary camp, hypnotized these soldiers with magic, and told them to lie down for the time being.
Of course, this is also for the sake of safety. The world of spells is mysterious and unpredictable. Maybe someone is casting spells at this time, and they want to use the consciousness of these soldiers to track down their whereabouts. Hypnotizing them directly, making them sleepy, can effectively avoid tracking down.
After working for several hours and setting up several shielding spells, they started to wake up a Thracian sentry.
Under the magic of the traversers, ordinary people can't keep secrets at all, and they really answer every question. But unfortunately, this sentinel is just a knight's squire, he doesn't know anything.
According to him, he was a member of the legion directly under the Thracian royal family and was ordered to go out not long ago. The knight he was loyal to seemed to have something on his mind, but he never told him, and he didn't know why.
In fact, several Sentinels responded similarly.
They are all knights' squires and follow the knights to fight. Although their strength is good, their status is not high, and of course it is impossible to know those real secrets. But from the analysis of their words, some problems can also be found.
For example, their cavalry set out first, arrived at the territory of the Marquis of Drake on the border, and then joined the infantry that joined later—this means that the infantry should have been in the Marquis of Drake long ago. A collection of territories, and may even have been trained for a while.
For another example, the command system of the infantry was completely independent and did not interfere with the cavalry. Everyone didn’t communicate much at ordinary times, and the knights even warned their retinues that they were not allowed to approach those infantrymen casually—this not only meant that the relationship between the two parties was not good, but also meant that there were some unspeakable secrets in the group of infantrymen, which needed to be carefully concealed.
After careful investigation, the traversers finally found a very secret and very important clue: a knight squire had occasional close contact with a few infantrymen when he dispatched troops.
As for the knight squire, everyone just passed by without talking, and he didn't remember any information. But using hypnosis spells to hypnotize him deeply and let his memory return to that moment, he said an amazing thing.
The faces of the infantrymen were a little pale, and their eyes were a little dull.
Hearing this description, the eyes of the traversers suddenly lit up.
They already know the truth about this group of weird "Iron Army"!
