Before he finished speaking, Mario screamed in surprise, because he felt his feet soften slightly, and his whole body was slowly sinking into the ground.
what's the situation? quicksand? swamp
Before Mario could figure it out, he heard a "crash", his feet fell away, and he fell down into a tunnel.
"brush!"
The surrounding soldiers quickly gathered around and watched Mario fall in on the ground.
Mario shook his head and stood up, looking around the tunnel. He felt a little confused and confused at first, then his eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
"Hu-hu-"
"This... this is!"
"Ah!" Mario screamed, too excited to speak. "I... I take back what I said before. The people above are not pig heads. There really is an authentic place here, really! I... I sent it, I... the military rank was promoted …Upgrade to level three! Level three!”
The companions on the ground looked at Mario shouting non-stop and looked at each other with complicated expressions, as if they saw someone stepping on dog poop.
Oh, why didn’t I have a chance to step on this shit
At this time, the squad leader with a rough face came over, stood on the ground, glanced at Mario who was still in ecstasy, and couldn't help but shake his head. His military rank is much higher than that of Mario, so he is not as envious as ordinary soldiers, but is simply happy - happy that he has discovered the tunnel, and the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment can take credit.
While he was happy, he looked towards the village in the distance and vaguely saw a figure at the entrance of the village running towards the village in a panic and quickly disappearing.
…
In the village, the figure ran towards the village chief's house and couldn't help shouting: "Village chief, village chief, it's bad, they found it, they found it!"
…
"What, found it?!"
Near noon, in the command room of the Reef Castle, the chief staff officer Kun Darcy, who was wearing a white robe, received the latest information from the messenger. He only glanced at it and shouted.
In the room, commander-in-chief Soren Bonaparte and Richard both looked over, and Soren looked questioningly.
Staff Kun quickly looked at Sauron and explained: "General, the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment discovered the entrance to the tunnel about eleven miles north of Blue Water Bay. It has been confirmed that it is the tunnel through which the Sika Kingdom's army infiltrated. .”
After the explanation, before Sauron could say anything, Staff Officer Kun expressed his incomprehension: "Speaking of General, this is really unreasonable. That place has deviated too far from our previously established range and is very close to the residential village. In fact, Yes, the intelligence indicates that there is a village nearby. If the Sika Kingdom army really comes out from there, it is impossible not to be discovered."
Sauron looked at Richard and said, "Your Excellency Richard, what do you think?"
"Me..." Richard pondered for a few seconds and said, "A tunnel entrance appears where a tunnel entrance is impossible. A village appears where a village cannot appear. There may be some problems in that village. allow."
Sauron frowned, confused.
Richard did not explain, but looked at the white-robed staff officer: "Mr. Kun, may I ask which direction the village is at the tunnel entrance?"
"Um, it's the north." The staff officer said, after taking a look at the information, he confirmed, "Yes, it's the north."
"North, well, send troops to search the entire village, including the ponds, farmland, woods, etc. outside the village." Richard said.
"Why?"
"Because I think the direction in the north is unlucky. Maybe there are other passages, maybe more than one." Richard said slowly, speaking very seriously.
The staff officer's eyes widened, with disbelief written all over his face. If it weren't for the difference in status, he would really want to ask Richard if he was joking again.
This is a major war event! Can you be more serious
What is the reason for the unlucky location
Never heard of this, right
"Your Excellency Richard, your thoughts..." the staff officer couldn't help but said.
"No, it's not an idea, it's an order." Richard corrected.
The staff officer's expression turned stiff. He thought it was a coincidence that Richard could guess the entrance of the tunnel the first time. He really didn't believe it, and it would work the second time.
Are there other channels? And more than one
Is this a passage or a mouse hole
The staff officer looked at Sauron as if asking for help, hoping that Sauron would express some objections and tell Richard to stop messing around like this.
Who knows, Sauron was silent for a few seconds and just said: "Execute it."
"Yes." The staff officer responded with a breath, really helpless.
…
Orders are issued, passed on layer by layer, and executed quickly.
Shortly after noon, the peace of Baiya Village was broken.
"Ta-ta-ta, tap-ta-ta..."
The sound of intensive horse hoofbeats sounded, and the cavalry of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment galloped quickly and arrived at the head of the village.
The villagers who heard the sound walked out of their houses one after another and watched the cavalry enter with flickering eyes on the street.
The short and fat Winter stepped forward and tried to force a smile, trying to stop him: "Sir, what's the matter? Why are you here in our village? We have just paid this year's taxes, and there is no arrears at all. "
"Shut up!" Mario glanced at Winter and shouted, "What nonsense! This time I came to your village not to collect taxes, and there is no need to use us to collect taxes. The reason why we are here , there is an order from above, it is suspected that there may be a hidden tunnel in your village, and it needs to be searched."
"Underground... tunnel?" Mario's face paled for a moment, "What tunnel? We don't know anything about it, village chief, right?"
As he spoke, Mario looked at the wrinkled old man behind him.
The old man nodded quickly, looking timid and timid, and said to Mario: "Sir... Sir, there are really no tunnels in our village."
"Whether there is a tunnel or not is not up to you. You have to search it before deciding. Okay, don't block the road." After saying this, Mario flicked his whip, dispersed Winter who was blocking the way, and went straight to the center of the village to search. , the rest of the cavalry scattered to every corner of the village and started searching like mercury pouring down the ground.
Mario was extremely excited at this time, and the blood all over his body was hot.
It won’t work if it’s not exciting, it won’t work if it’s not hot.
Not long ago, he was just a top soldier, with a military rank of only a first-class soldier, but now he has been promoted three levels in a row and is already a first-class captain of ten!
One more step away, and you're a lowly centurion!
Centurion!
This was something he never dared to think about before, but now he is just one step away!
Once he is promoted to centurion, it can be said that he has achieved enough in his life.
The first thing is retirement, don’t worry too much.
In addition, even if you retire, your salary will be extremely high. Not to mention that you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, and you can also enjoy it.
However, there are disadvantages as well as advantages. The disadvantage is that once you reach the level of a superior ten-commander, you are already considered a lower-level officer. If you want to continue to advance in rank, it is basically impossible to rely solely on beheading. You can do it until the sword breaks. Difficult, must rely on greater military exploits.
Either lead a small battle to victory, or find another tunnel like before today.
The squad leader talked to him, and an order was issued from above: Whoever finds another tunnel will have his rank raised by two levels as a soldier, and by one level as an officer.
This is naturally incomparable to the initial three-level upgrade, but it is enough.
Mario really doesn't want to think about anything at this time, he just wants to find the tunnel. Whoever dares to block him will fight him to the death!
Go!
A lifetime of happiness, today!
