Chapter 171: Sudden Misfortune
Diffo is a general of the Griffin Kingdom's Western Frontier Army. He has more than 3,000 people under his command and is responsible for the security of the area bordering the kingdom and the Gobi. He was born in a small aristocratic family in Didu, and he got to where he is today by relying on his talents and marrying a fat and ugly girl from the August family who was so bad that he could hardly marry. Even though he may not be a big official, he still holds real power. Except for some annoying robbers, the border area is basically peaceful. Moreover, there are still many places to fish for the caravans passing by here, and the oil and water produced every year is worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
Now, after working for him for more than ten years, I am tired of writing crookedly, and I always want to return to the imperial capital to enjoy it. And now, there happened to be a good opportunity in front of him. Just help the family get rid of that annoying little castle and occupy it. He could return to the imperial capital as a hero, and a well-paid position would be waiting for him.
To this end, he did not hesitate to work hard, spent several months personally, and spent some of his own money, and finally pieced together the supplies and transportation materials that could allow more than 2,000 troops to penetrate into the Gobi. And through the connections he had accumulated over the years, he invited three large mercenary organizations, and he brought four or five level six masters alone. There is no way, after all, the internal situation of the Fearless Castle is not well understood, but one thing Defoe got certain information from people in his own family is that there are at least 10 Cyclops in the castle.
Defoe knew that the defensive power of this terrible sixth-level long-range unit was very terrifying, so he hired experts so seriously and did not dare to neglect at all, for fear of making some mistakes. And even on the march, he was very careful. Every time he set up camp, he was extremely cautious. Not only did he have to protect the important water tankers in the middle of the army, he even sent cavalry to investigate everywhere, for fear of being attacked by others.
Defoe himself also leads by example. He patrols the camp every night and is always the last one to rest, and today is no exception. Defoe, who had just inspected the camp, returned to his tent and sat down on the blanket, too tired to move.
At this time, Defoe's orderly came in with a plate of water, put it at Defoe's feet, and said with a smile: "General, you have worked hard all day, wash your feet quickly!"
"Oh, damn, didn't I tell you that my clean water is very precious?" Defoe immediately said dissatisfied: "Now is not the time to waste water on washing feet!"
"Don't worry, General." The orderly smiled and said: "In 10 days, we can reach the oasis, and our remaining water can still last for 12 days. You can wash your feet twice a day without any problem! ”
"But if the people below know about it, it will have a bad impact!" Defoe still said hesitantly.
"How could it be? You are a general? You should be special! Moreover, I will secretly dispose of the water in a while. They are all sleeping, and no one will know. You don't have to worry at all." The orderly hurriedly advised.
"Oh, is that so?" Defoe thought for a moment, but in the end he did not escape the temptation. He allowed the orderly to take off his shoes and socks, and then put his feet comfortably into the water. Ah, he suddenly felt An extremely comfortable feeling arose spontaneously, making the exhausted Defoe almost intoxicated at this moment.
The comfortable feeling put Defoe, who was already very tired, into a trance, so that he closed his eyes and fell asleep without realizing it.
The orderly carefully took Defoe's feet out of the water and began to wipe them with a soft linen cloth.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden roar and a shocking explosion outside. Defoe, who had been sleeping, was suddenly awakened. He jumped up on the spot. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He just ran out naked. When he looked in the direction of the explosion, he was stunned.
It turned out that he saw a group of heavily protected vehicles in the distance, which had completely turned into flames and debris. I don't know what it was, but it caused a super powerful explosion in the dense array of vehicles. Most of the nearly 100 large vehicles were lost, especially the water trucks. Almost all of them were damaged. They were either completely blown to pieces or were swept aside. The flying debris made holes of various sizes, and precious clear water surged out, but no one could save it.
As soon as he saw this scene, Defoe was dumbfounded and couldn't help but said: "It's over, it's all over!"
"General, call for help quickly!" the orderly reminded loudly.
Diffoe woke up this time and hurriedly yelled with all his strength: "Quick, get me the water back, quick!"
After saying that, Defoe didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he boarded a horse next to him barefoot, and then rushed to the place of the accident with dozens of soldiers.
When I got there, I saw that the sky and the ground were filled with scattered corpses and pieces of wood. The most conspicuous thing are the several large craters on the ground. It is obvious that you are the center of the explosion. There were almost no intact vehicles around, especially the waterwheels, which suffered heavy losses. Just now they were far away and they couldn’t see clearly. But now that they were closer, they realized that the other party seemed to have deliberately chosen waterwheels to attack, so that most of the waterwheels were destroyed. They were all blown to pieces, only 3 or 5 were still intact, but there were also cracks or holes on the side walls, and clear water was flowing continuously.
The soldiers who arrived early did not bother to save their injured companions, so they first used their hands and clothes to block the opening of the flowing water. It's a pity that there are too many cracks. They can block one or two, but they can't block dozens?
Seeing this, Defoe hurriedly called his soldiers to help, but then he looked around to find the attacker. But after looking for a long time, he didn't find any fighting anywhere around the military camp. It seemed that he was the only one being plotted against, and there was nothing going on elsewhere!
Seeing this, Defoe couldn't help but yelled: "Damn it, there must be a spy sneaking in! Otherwise, they wouldn't just destroy this place. Guards, where are the guards guarding here?"
"Report to the general, the more than 200 people stationed here were either killed in battle or seriously injured and comatose, and none of them have woken up yet!" an officer who arrived in advance reported.
"Oh, no!" Defoe said angrily: "That means we don't even know who the spy is?"
"No, General, I think it is easy to deduce that such a terrible explosion is obviously the work of a magician, but there are no magicians among our people?" the officer reminded: "But those people Some of the mercenaries seem to be mages."
"Ah, I understand!" Defoe couldn't help but nodded: "Obviously, those mages are all suspicious!"
At this moment, the leaders of several mercenary groups also arrived. After seeing all this, they were stunned on the spot. After all, they are all people who often walk on this road, so they naturally know what clear water means. Now that all the clear water was found, several people couldn't help but change their expressions. One of them immediately exclaimed: "Oh! Damn it, how could this happen? General Defoe, what happened?"
"What happened?" Defoe said angrily: "Isn't it obvious? A spy sneaked into our camp and destroyed our most precious water source!"
"Spy? Where is he?" The guy immediately asked in confusion.
"I should ask you this!" Defoe said angrily.
"Ask us?" The guy immediately sneered: "General, I must remind you that the people guarding the water source are your people!"
"The one who can destroy the water source is the magician!" Defoe roared: "You don't think I have that thing in my hand, do you?"
"This is not necessarily true. Maybe you have hidden a mage in the army. Besides, there are 200 living people watching here. A mage can come in unnoticed and continue to release so many spells. "The other leader sneered: "Spells with such power are at least level 4. Do you think our people are masters of the holy realm? Can they cast level 4 spells instantly?"
"There will definitely be no mages among my people. Moreover, what good will it do me to sabotage this mission? I spent a lot of money to build vehicles, summon subordinates, prepare food and fodder, and invite you, and even came here in person. Are you here just to watch the fireworks?" Defoe roared: "This is nonsense!"
"Then what do you think of this incident?" A group leader asked, "You know, we are all very reputable people. We will abide by the agreement after receiving the money, and we will never do such a thing. ”
"Yes, you are very reputable, but the problem is, I don't know if you just took my money. I suspect that one of your teams took double copies, except for mine. , and the gangster’s money in the castle, so he’s going to do some damage!” Defoe said angrily.
"..." Several group leaders frowned after hearing this, obviously they were also self-aware. Knowing that the reputation of the mercenary group is not very good, something like this might actually happen. They just didn't know who it was, so they didn't dare to speak for fear of becoming the target of suspicion.
Seeing everyone's silence, Defoe became more and more sure of his guess, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Damn, that must be what happened. We must find the thing that is crawling inside and outside!"
"Oh, how do you plan to find it?" a group leader said helplessly.
"Hand over all your magicians, I want to 'question' them one by one!" Defoe said arrogantly.
