Gao Wen listened carefully to the reports of the soldiers of the patrol team. From these reports, he learned that what the patrol team encountered were not simply desperate robbers or mercenaries in exile, but a group of experienced and well-organized professional soldiers.
The report of the patrol team can't be wrong, because their captain is a senior veteran who has served the Cecil family since the old Cecil era—all the veterans in the territory and the outstanding soldiers who grew up later have been scattered into the To act as "seeds" in various recruit teams, these people will not have any major problems in the judgment of the battlefield.
If it weren't for the black technology armed by Cecil Combatants, which is simply a Zentraedi creation for the conventional army of this era, and if the patrol leader hadn't detected the enemy's presence in time and responded accurately, it would have turned into a difficult and vicious battle , but there were no ifs on the battlefield. Faced with completely incomprehensible weapons and fighting methods, these suspicious militants who tried to infiltrate the Cecil Territory suffered a disastrous defeat. In the end, only two of the ten-man team survived.
Gao Wen looked at the confiscated items brought back by the patrol team—weapons and armor, bags and backpacks, many things had traces of being burnt and melted by scorching rays, but there were also many well-preserved objects, but none of these things could be seen There is no sign of subordination at all, and there is not even a clear style. Although each piece is of excellent quality, it is clear that their owners do not want to use these equipment to reveal their identities.
The map-making tools and sketches that Amber mentioned were placed on a separate table, along with other things that Amber considered quite suspicious.
Gao Wen picked up the rough maps that showed the course of the Dark Mountains, frowned and observed carefully. He noticed that there were not only maps on them, but also some incomprehensible code marks—but even if they couldn't see the names, guess what? You can also guess what the symbols mean.
Although Amber is quite shrewd in the professional field, this occasion is obviously not suitable for her major. She looked at the tools in a daze, and asked Gao Wen curiously: "Where do you think these people come from?"
"Don't even think about it? Of course it's our 'good neighbor'," Gawain shrugged, and casually threw those sketches back on the table, "well-equipped, well-trained, infiltrating from the dark mountains, drawing maps and collecting intelligence along the way, Who else would you say would do such a thing?"
While talking, he curled his lips and looked at the unmarked weapons and equipment: "I also specially prepared these whiteboard equipment to cover people's eyes... Is this treating the Ansu people as fools?"
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Hetty walked in. She couldn't help shaking her head when she heard Gao Wen's words: "You can't say that - although as long as these people are caught, Ansu's border guards will treat them The origin is well known, but as long as there is no evidence, it is useless to catch it. After all, the two countries have not declared war on the surface. No matter whose spies are caught, everyone just refuses to admit it. Most nobles are A creature of prestige and brazenness."
Amber stared at Heidi: "Hey, you are also a nobleman, your whole family is noble!"
"But it doesn't affect my evaluation of other nobles," Hetty said without hitting Amber's head with a stick (probably because there are too many people to maintain elegance), she just glanced at Amber, and then walked towards Gao Wen, "Ancestor , I have already arranged for the mine to send additional manpower, and Knight Byron has also gone there in person.”
Gawain nodded approvingly, while Hetty showed a worried look, "Ancestor, do you think these imperial soldiers are a signal to start war?"
"They have already run into the Dark Mountains, and the war is not far away." Gao Wen didn't say any comforting words at this time, but directly stated his judgment, "The eastern defense line of the Ansu Empire is solid, and the Loren family is a piece of land." The stone that cannot be chewed, only the dark mountains extending from Ansu to Typhon and adjacent to the wasteland of Gondor are the weak points of the entire border - but this natural barrier does not allow the army to pass. To be able to send in small infiltrators and do something, and those infiltrators would only come in handy if they were really ready for war."
Speaking of this, Gawain slightly closed his eyes, and the satellite view of the entire dark mountain range came to his mind.
The Dark Mountains meandered in Ansu and turned southward at the border of Typhon, forming a natural barrier. Finally, the mountains gradually flattened between Typhon and the wasteland of Gondor, blending into the land.
He could almost outline the course of action of these Typhon soldiers in his mind.
"I'm worried that this is not the only group of troops that infiltrated." Gawain opened his eyes and looked at the two Typhon prisoners lying on the mat who had regained some energy. He walked towards them and looked down. Was it captured by someone?"
One of the prisoners looked at Gawain without fear. Although his face was distorted by the pain, his voice was still calm: "I heard you are Gawain Cecil."
"Is there anything you want to explain?"
"What should be asked, your people have already asked, and they didn't ask anything," said the Typhon soldier, poking his neck, "Even if you are really Gawain Cecil, we won't say anything."
"I know that you still have companions, scattered into several teams and lurking in the dark mountains, while surveying the map and infiltrating into the territory of Ansu, if I'm not wrong, you will even lurk in the territory of Ansu, waiting for orders to wait for an opportunity Destruction, right?" Gao Wen said calmly, relying on Gawain Cecil's experience and knowledge, as well as his own quick thinking, he could easily imagine that these infiltration troops would be able to What is the use of it, and every time he said, the faces of the two prisoners became worse, "Your intelligence is obviously wrong-I guess how your commander described the south of Ansu before you set off It's a barren land with no one to develop, and the defense is empty, relying on the natural danger of the dark mountains to make peace for a hundred years, right? That's why he boldly let you come here."
"No, we know about your existence, ahem...we also know about your pioneering territory," another prisoner said, "ahem...our information is better than you think, if you are really the one from seven hundred years ago Big hero... You gotta know, times have changed..."
Gao Wen looked at the two captured soldiers in a little surprise. He was very surprised by the excellent psychological quality and pressure tolerance of the other party. Not everyone can maintain a tough posture in front of a resurrected legend, even well-trained soldiers. The same is true for the soldiers—most professional soldiers of this era have little sense of honor and "family and country beliefs" at all, but the two captives in front of them are obviously different. They put life and death aside and are dedicated to loyalty.
How did Typhon train the army? They also realized the importance of instilling values in soldiers
Gawain calmly released the coercion of a powerful transcendent, even if his strength was lower than that of the original "Gauvan Cecil", this coercion is not something ordinary people can bear. Under the dual pressure of erosion and mental power, the faces of the two prisoners quickly turned pale, while Gao Wen said unhurriedly: "Don't be too confident in your intelligence, 'soldiers of this era', you forgot How did you lose?"
The eyes of the two prisoners were visibly shaken.
"The ones patrolling the mountains are only ordinary soldiers from the Cecil Territory, the most common kind—they can easily destroy so-called 'elites' like you. You can think about it for a while, your comrades and a whole army What are the consequences of an encounter with a similarly armed Legion—your intelligence is too backward, young man."
After saying this, Gao Wen put away his coercion directly. Instead of continuing to try to get information from the captives, he walked towards the door and left a word to Wright before leaving: "These two people will be handed over to you. Look after them and try to heal them as much as possible."
After leaving the holding room, Hetty caught up with Gawain: "Ancestor, you intend to scare those two people, then ask Pastor Wright to heal them and create a chance for them to escape, and finally let them run to warn you Comrades, can we track them down and catch them all?"
Amber, who ran out together, was surprised when she heard Hetty's guess: "Can you still do this?"
Immediately afterwards, she sighed: "Your noble hearts are really dirty."
However, Gao Wen directly shook his head: "Don't think about it, this kind of specially trained soldiers are trained, they won't be fooled by this."
When Hetty heard this, she was very surprised: "Then the last thing you said to those two captives was..."
"It will be more powerful to say a few words on the scene before leaving."
Hetty: "..."
She didn't know how to reply to an ancestor who casually said the words "appears to be more powerful", so as to appear respectful, filial and elegant, so she simply hypnotized herself to forget what Gao Wen said just now, and was stunned. He continued the topic: "Then, will you continue to interrogate the two captives?"
"The results of the interrogation will not come out in a short time, but their accomplices may have lurked around here. It's hard to say whether those guys will cause havoc in a short time." Gawain frowned, looking in the direction of the dark mountain range , he is not worried about the defense of the territory - guard posts, walls, magic traps, and rune alarm devices in all directions are enough to ensure the security of the territory, and it is impossible for a small group of infiltration troops to lose their wits and attack a pioneering town guarded by the army. But he was very worried about the isolated mines, logging camps, and development strongholds outside the territory, "I need to go into the mountains to see for myself. Amber, you come with me too."
"Ah?" Amber was stunned for a moment subconsciously, but then she finally remembered her identity as a guard, her ears drooped, "Oh..."
The battlefield of the mountain encounter has not been cleaned up, and the patrol team has limited manpower. They just took away the prisoners and some of the captured items and returned them to the territory. For the corpses still blocking the mountain path, Gao Wen took Amber to inspect each corpse and the entire combat area, and finally something caught his attention.
It was a piece of paper that fell by the side of the mountain road. It seemed to be an order written by a certain superior to these soldiers. Half of the paper itself had been burned by the scorching rays, and only a few fragmented, Words that don't connect at all.
But it was those few broken words that made Gao Wen frowned slightly.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Gao Wen stop, Amber couldn't help leaning forward curiously, "What's written on this piece of paper... I can't understand it."
"This handwriting... looks familiar to me," Gao Wen said with an incredulous expression on his face, "Could it be... that guy?"
