Chapter 478 Catherine’s Military Camp
Since Lao Xie does not intend to pay for it himself, but cannot obtain the necessary supplies for the army from the die-hard men of the Third Prince through fair means, what else can he do? That's right, Lao Xie can only use informal means. The so-called informal means are actually, to put it bluntly, Lao Xie’s old profession, robbery!
Of course, this time Lao Xie had no intention of rushing directly into the warehouse and brazenly looting it under the guard of hundreds of elite soldiers. That would be too much. His action, to be more precise, is called stealing!
Lao Xie first found the old mage, Juliet and Constantine, and borrowed their space rings. Adding his own, there were four at once. Then late at night, he secretly sneaked into the military warehouse outside the city and moved everything around. He worked all night, taking whatever he saw, from clothes to weapons, from armor to food, until the four The space rings are all full, but only part of a series of warehouses are filled.
After all, the amount stored in the warehouses in the imperial capital is too large. After all, it is the national military inventory, which can equip hundreds of thousands of people. No matter how powerful Lao Xie is, he cannot be empty overnight. Of course, this is also related to the capacity of the space ring. Each of the four space rings only has a few hundred cubic meters of space, which obviously cannot hold the supplies of a hundred thousand troops. However, this is enough for them to last for a while.
After succeeding, Lao Xie hurriedly passed through the teleportation array and took the things to Catherine's newly built castle.
After Lao Xie arrived here, he was surprised to find that he was in a newly built stone house. The stones used to build the house still bore traces of fresh polishing. However, although this house is slender, it is extremely strong. Each stone weighs at least several hundred kilograms. Lao Xie estimates that the walls are at least one or two meters thick, which shows how much Catherine attaches importance to this place.
Lao Xie suddenly appeared in the teleportation array, immediately alerting the guards outside the house. Even though it was late at night, they were still very alert and had no intention of being lazy at all, so when the light of the magic circle being activated came out in the room, they immediately noticed it. Quickly come in with weapons to check.
Obviously, as a guard guarding the teleportation magic circle, there must be two things. The two people who walked in were elite warriors wearing heavy armor. There were several people on guard behind them, and they would react immediately if there was a situation. Such behavior was completely a well-trained posture. Lao Xie couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart after seeing it.
From the angel badge on the opponent's armor. Lao Xie saw that these people were elite warriors given to Catherine by the Holy See. Immediately I understood the origins of these people and why they were so dedicated. Because the warriors given to Catherine and Lao Xie by the Holy See were all skitarii who had been trained since childhood. They had been brainwashed in their childhood, and their devotion to the gods reached a crazy level. As a soldier, he has always been meticulous, so it's no wonder he behaves like this. If there were a different group of soldiers, there would definitely be some slack at dawn. The spirit is also affected to some extent, and it is not like them to concentrate all night.
After the other party saw Lao Xie, he was stunned for a moment, and then one of the people who seemed to be the team leader bowed and saluted: "Excuse me, your Excellency, are you Lord Stephen?"
"Yes!" Lao Xie nodded and said: "Yes, it's me!"
"Ah!" The person on the other side immediately showed a look of surprise and admiration, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "I have met you, sir!" Obviously. They all knew that Lao Xie was the hero who saved the Bright Empire, so they were so respectful.
Lao Xie also understood this, smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Haha, get up, you are on duty late at night, you have all worked hard!"
"This is what we should do!" the commander said hurriedly and humbly.
"If you do your job well, you should be worthy of praise!" Lao Xie praised. Those people said so that their faces turned red. Obviously, they were all deeply proud of being praised by Lao Xie, a hero.
Then Lao Xie suddenly said curiously: "By the way. You haven't seen me before, right? How can you recognize me at a glance?"
"The portraits of you and Her Royal Highness Saint Catherine have been circulated in the Empire of Light. We have been fortunate enough to see them and remember them firmly in our hearts!" The captain then said solemnly: "Although I am of low status, I am not worthy. I have nothing to say to praise you, but I still want to say sincerely thank you on behalf of us brothers!" After that, he bowed again.
"Thank you!" The other soldiers also bowed and shouted loudly.
"You're welcome!" Lao Xie hurriedly stretched out his hand to help them up.
"No, this is not polite, it is really our most sincere words!" The captain said with a pious face: "In the eyes of us warriors, you are the angel sent by the God of Light to save us. If you hadn't turned back without hesitation Take action, most of us will die in the undead disaster!"
"That's right!" A person next to him also said: "As soldiers, it doesn't matter that we die on the battlefield defending our homeland and our country. But the key point is that we can't worry about our families! If it weren't for you, and that A thousand soldiers died, and we don’t know how many of us will lose our loved ones! So, no matter how we say it, we can’t express our gratitude to you!”
It was the first time that Lao Xie was so grateful, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable. He could only laugh twice and said: "Okay, okay, it's all in the past. If you want to thank, just thank Catherine and those brothers who died in the battle! I don't care."
"Of course, we are all grateful to them!" the captain said hurriedly.
"Yeah!" Lao Xie nodded, and then quickly said: "Where is Catherine? I have something urgent to find her!"
"Ah!" The captain then remembered the business and said hurriedly: "Please follow me, I will take you there!"
"That's fine!" Lao Xie nodded and agreed.
"Please go this way!" The captain said, making way for the gate, and then explained: "This is the middle of the military camp, and it is the most heavily defended. It can be said that there is one post every three steps, and one sentry every five steps. In order to prevent The spies bribed by the demons have sneaked in, and Her Royal Highness has set up many passwords. If you come here for the first time, it will be really difficult for you to move forward without someone to guide you."
"Haha, okay, then I'll see for myself!" Lao Xie walked out with a smile.
Later, under the leadership of the captain, Lao Xie walked along a path towards the place where Catherine lived.
As Lao Xie walked, he looked around here. Although it was very dark at this time, it was the darkest period before dawn. But for an expert like Lao Xie, he can see the surrounding scenery clearly even in the dark.
He discovered that the place where the teleportation array was located turned out to be a depression, surrounded by a circle of naturally formed highlands, on which wooden fences had been built for defense. At this time, some soldiers were patrolling. In addition to the sergeants on the surface, Lao Xie was also surprised to find that there were some hidden troops here, all holding strong bows and crossbows, and looking like an ambush.
Every time you pass a checkpoint, the other party will use different passwords to ask questions. After the captain answers, the other party will also check the waistband, and even vigilantly ask some words that may seem boring, but are actually very useful in verifying identity. For example, ask the captain who is leading the way, who his boss is, etc. If it is a spy pretending to be a spy, it will be discovered immediately.
Lao Xie couldn't help but become suspicious when he saw how tight the protection here was, so he asked curiously: "Is the defense in the entire camp so tight?"
"Yes!" the captain said hurriedly: "The military camp of 100,000 people is all on guard like this."
"Why is this happening?" Lao Xie immediately asked in alarm: "Did something happen to you?"
"Yes!" the captain said: "Since we came here, we have been very noisy. Not long after setting up camp, we were spied on by unknown people one after another. Dozens of soldiers on guard were missing. Later, the other party added more They arrogantly sneaked into our military camp, and they even found the princess's handsome tent and carried out an assassination!"
"Huh?" Lao Xie suddenly said in surprise: "Are you really so arrogant?"
"They were indeed so arrogant at the time. Fortunately, when they were assassinating, Princess Catherine killed more than a dozen masters in a row, and then they became honest. They stopped harassing the princess and focused on spying on our intelligence." The captain said helplessly: "That's why we have no choice but to be so nervous.
"But why didn't Catherine tell me?" Lao Xie asked puzzledly.
"I don't know about that. Maybe the princess is afraid that you will worry!" the captain said.
"Nonsense!" Lao Xie immediately frowned and then asked, "Then do you know the identity of the other party?"
"Not very clear!" The captain shook his head and said: "Among the assassins killed that time, there were not only humans, but also demons, and even dark elves and orcs. In short, they were all diverse. In addition to knowing their strength, we Apart from being very strong, there are no other clues. These people are obviously very professional killers, and they have nothing to prove their identity."
"How strong are they?" Lao Xie suddenly asked.
"I don't know!" the captain said: "When we got the news and rushed into the commander's account to rescue the princess, all the assassins were already dead on the spot, and almost all of them were chopped into several pieces. Horrible! ”
"Then how do you know they are very strong?" Lao Xie immediately asked curiously.
"From their weapons and the muscles on their bodies, we can roughly deduce that the owners of these corpses are at least level five masters, and two of them, we even suspect to be saint level masters! Otherwise, they would not have been able to quietly sneak into the base of our 100,000-strong army and openly assassinate the princess." The captain then said with admiration: "This also shows how powerful Princess Catherine is, so much. It’s incredible that a powerful assassin was easily killed by her alone!”
