Can you pay attention to what's happening on the streets these days
Reciting Sauron's last words in his heart, Richard was a little confused and curious. After thinking for a while, he simply walked out of the courtyard and walked to the street.
The streets of Kasha City are, as always, not much different from usual.
Many workers are constantly coming and going to work in various locations in the city - the repair work of Kasha City was completed more than half a month ago, and now the renovation work is ongoing. There is a plan to turn Kasha City into a military city step by step. Even if it cannot be as impregnable as a reef fortress, at least it cannot be conquered as easily as before.
In addition, there are teams of soldiers patrolling the streets to maintain law and order.
Since the occupation of Kasha City, the order of Kasha City has changed a lot, from the original stability to chaos. The Sika people in the city are afraid of force and dare not directly resist the alliance's rule, but secretly they are carrying out endless sabotage actions - some are spontaneous, and some are instigated and directed by Sika spies.
If it's the former, it's nothing. It's just some minor disturbance at most - a small team of troops is enough to suppress it. If it is the latter, it will be a lot of trouble. After all, spies are mostly well-trained and will look for weaknesses to attack. If you are not careful, the water source may be poisoned, or the food of the army may be poisoned. Therefore, the Alliance used many troops to maintain order in and around the city and search for suspicious elements.
The main force to maintain order was initially the front-line combat troops, which affected the combat effectiveness to a certain extent. Later, because Sauron insisted that the army stop attacking and continue to repair, in this month, the second-line troops were gradually replenished and replaced.
The combat capabilities of the second-line troops are weaker than those of the first-line troops, but their ability to maintain order is not much different.
At this time, Richard saw that a new second-line army had entered the city and was heading north of the city. It should be reporting.
The composition of the soldiers in this second-line army is somewhat mixed. The leader is a strong man, the second is a petite woman, followed closely by a cold-faced man and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, followed by a group of soldiers. The general-faced soldiers in the platoon, who were not very lively, seemed to hate being gathered here.
Richard watched this second-line army go away, and soon saw a new second-line army passing by, with almost a thousand people entering the city one after another.
The continuous replenishment of the second-line troops is a change, but the impact on the entire Kasha City is not as big as expected. This is not what Sauron is talking about... Richard squinted and thought... So here is the question, what did Sauron say? what is it then
Looking around, Richard could feel that the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped significantly - but this was because it had entered the October Frost Moon and had nothing to do with anything else.
What Sauron said can't mean that there will be frost on the streets in a few days, right
Richard couldn't help but shake his head. He thought for several minutes but couldn't find any clue, so he simply stopped wasting time.
Whatever it was, if it was coming, sooner or later he would know about it. Don't bother yourself now, let's get back to the path of research.
Speaking of which, during this month in Kasha City, due to his free time and the support of the alliance's logistics force, his research progress was extremely fast. Not only have there been breakthroughs in "extraordinary cohesion" and "blood energy extraordinary factor binding effect", but also the cracking of Baltavin and the improvement of the second-generation energy furnace have also given surprises, all to a pleasant level - just wait and see the results. .
If there are no accidents, we will be able to achieve a complete staged success in two days. It shouldn't be too late to see what's going on in the streets of Sauron by then.
After making up his mind, Richard turned back to the courtyard and found Bibi who was wandering around. He said seriously: "In the next two days, I need to be very dedicated to doing some things. Please stay calm and don't cause trouble. Of course, help It would be better if I look at the courtyard and don't let anyone disturb me casually."
"Okay." Bibi quickly responded. Then she thought of something and asked seriously, "By the way, this is considered work, so it's not too much for me to ask for some reward? As before, I don't want money, just some food, that's fine Bar?"
"As long as you don't cause trouble, you can eat whatever you want in the kitchen."
"The deal is done," Bibi said quickly, fearing that Richard would regret it.
"Then take care of your home. I'm going to get busy." Richard said and walked to the side.
Bibi expressed her determination loudly from behind: "Don't worry, as long as you have something to eat from me, I will ensure that no one can disturb you."
"Well, you don't have to be so absolute. If there is something urgent, you should tell me. If you are not sure whether it is important, just ask Pandora."
"Okay, got it."
"That's good."
…
In a blink of an eye, night falls.
Outside Kasha City, there is a field of gravel.
In the howling cold night wind, a black shadow appeared, crouching on the surface of a stone, squinting in the direction of Kasha City, as if waiting for someone.
After waiting for a long time, the black shadow did not find the target. He clenched his fist angrily and cursed: "You are not trustworthy!"
After cursing, he turned around and was about to leave, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a man in gray robe standing quietly and looking at him. He didn't know how long he had been here.
"You..." Black Shadow couldn't help shouting.
The man in gray robe said with a bit of ridicule: "Hey, you must be wondering, when did I arrive? In fact, I have been here for a long time. After I arrive, I want to test your ability. How long will it take? To find me, I guess it will take at least one minute, maybe more than three minutes.
It turns out that I was wrong. Your perception is slower than I thought. If you hadn't exhausted your patience, you might have waited all night without even noticing. "
The shadow's face turned red, and it was impossible to tell whether he was embarrassed, angry, or both.
He opened his mouth and wanted to argue with the man in gray robe, but found that this was not a good choice. Besides, if he really wanted to defend himself, he would probably be diverted away from the topic by the man in gray robe.
He would not be fooled, and he knew very well the purpose of coming to see the man in gray robe this time.
"Hmph!" Heiying snorted coldly and said, "Okay, maybe my perception is indeed a bit slow, but no matter how slow I am, I can't compare to you."
"Um?"
"You said at the beginning that you would be able to create opportunities for us to reverse the situation of the war within seven or eight days. As of today, it has been more than a month, and there has been no change. Isn't it true that if I don't remind you, it will happen this year? Passed? This is not slowness, what is it, is it dormancy? "
