Chapter 654： The other side under the stars

The stars are in the sky, and the moon is bright.

A dazzling Milky Way, looming and hanging on the dark night, is like a white train dotted with colors.

Under this beautiful moonlit night, it was an extremely solemn scene.

With the sound of heavy armor rubbing, groups of patrols surrounded by magic light **** were patrolling back and forth.

I saw these heavily armed soldiers, the broad swords in their hands have been drawn, and the sharp eyes hidden in the barrel helmets are closely watching the surrounding feng shui grass.

Next to the patrolling soldiers is a row of sharp large deer villages. The new wood that has just been sharpened is still filled with fresh smell, and further back is a large fence made of wood.

Under the illumination of the patrol's magic ball of light, the wood grain on the thick fence was clearly visible, reflecting the elongated shadows holding sharp swords.

Inside the fence, there are towering simple wooden arrow towers, and the silhouettes of longbowmen with quivers on their backs are vaguely visible in the arrow towers.

And, it can be clearly seen.

Whether it is a wooden fence or a wooden tower, the surface is sometimes flickering with magical streamers, which is obviously a special anti-magic coating that resists low-level fire spells.

This is obviously a temporary military camp converted from an ordinary village.

And it was the cavalry corps that was stationed by the eldest prince's forces to contain the second prince's vanguard.

In this heavily fortified village, in an extremely inconspicuous low-rise house, there was a faint glow of light spar.

I saw a tall and thin figure standing with his hands behind his back, standing silently in front of the window.

Behind him, there were several low-level commanders with riding boots and knightly armor standing respectfully.

"Lord Legionnaire, my subordinates have just searched carefully again. This farthest village to which Kongqing Town belongs, not only did not even see a single person, but not even a single grain of wheat was left in the barn. , apparently left very calmly and orderly."

A middle-aged cavalry captain who had just entered the door, with a smear of mud on the soles of his shoes, bowed to the tall and thin figure and reported: "This subordinate also went to the nearby streams and checked them one by one. It is very clear, and there is a lot of grass around for the horses to use."

"Very good, this time I am running lightly, and the food I carry with me can last for a few days, but the fodder and water sources for the war horses are not sloppy."

The tall and thin figure nodded slowly, still staring at the night outside the window.

Under the reflection of the window glass, the face of the tall and thin figure gradually became clear.

He was about forty years old, with a thin face with protruding cheekbones, no expression could be seen, and he was wearing a very gorgeous purple aristocratic costume.

Under the light of the light spar lamps on the wooden table, the shiny fabrics of top-quality satin, and this extremely simple and ordinary house, seemed extremely out of tune, like two worlds.

The most eye-catching is the shiny horse head coat of arms he wears on his chest.

Above the coat of arms, there is a long golden strip, decorated with four gold **** and four silver balls.

Being able to wear this kind of noble status symbol undoubtedly shows that this lanky man is a noble marquis with detached status.

Just as the captain just mentioned, this person is the commander of this cavalry regiment, and one of the core figures of the Prince's faction in this area, the city lord of Pentium City, Marquis Vince.

Pentium City is not far from Songluo City. Since the era of the King of Heroes, it has been famous for its elite cavalry troops. It used to be the cold flame city that knights yearn for and have the most chivalrous spirit.

However, with the passage of time, also accompanied by the open and secret struggle between the traditional aristocracy and the new aristocracy, it has intensified.

This famous city of knights began to gradually degenerate, until it completely lost the humility and justice that knights should have, and instead became the vanguard of the restoration of serfdom.

The only thing that has not changed is that this cavalry unit loyal to Pentium City has maintained a high level of combat effectiveness.

Although this cavalry unit is no longer responsible for protecting the weak, it has become a sharp blade for the ruler to suppress the free peasants.

At this time, through the window of the house, Vince happened to see a group of patrolling soldiers passing by under the illumination of the magic ball of light, reflecting the scattered village streets around.

As far as he could see, it was clean and tidy, with perfect infrastructure, no stinking dirty gutters or crumbling shabby wooden houses.

"Lord Vince, all the civilians in this village have obviously taken refuge in Kongqing City."

I saw a middle-aged cronie in a blue robe next to him stepped forward and reported: "According to the information, after the new Kongqing City Lord took office, a large number of repairs to the surrounding affiliated villages began, although it was not long. , but it is already quite large, and it has brought a new look to the surrounding villages.”

"Hey, it's superfluous, these untouchables can have a dog kennel, why waste money and build construction."

Vince's expression turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "To treat the pariah so favorably will definitely make our situation more and more passive. This new City Lord Kongqing is really a disgusting fellow."

"It's very true what your lord said. Naturally, these untouchables must be controlled by a great traditional aristocrat like you."

The middle-aged confidant bowed his waist, first flattered, and then said: "Remember that the former Kong Qing City Lord, although not from a traditional aristocratic background, was already ready to become a **** in our hands, but he was killed halfway by this guy. The nasty guy who came out eventually took his place."

"This is second, the key is that this new Kong Qing City Lord is really annoying."

Vince's cheekbones were bulging, and there was a gloomy look on his face: "If there are still pariahs here, then the marquis must first come to kill a chicken and show the monkey, let him know the price of taking my cold flame city without authorization."

"Hey, no wonder His Royal Highness ordered the shovel of Kongqing Town to be shoveled first. Thinking about it, he also noticed this unsightly sand."

The middle-aged cronies still looked respectful, and agreed: "This is according to our wishes. After all, before this, under the restraint of the second prince's forces, we have been unable to act without authorization."

"Do you think that His Royal Highness's first action to shovel Kongqing Town is just for the new Kongqing City Lord?"

Vince kept looking out of the window, slowly retracted it, cast a glance at his middle-aged cronies and said, "Did you forget the fifth princess?"

"It turns out that Mr. Vince really sees everything!"

The turbid eyes of the middle-aged cronies lit up, and suddenly said: "In this way, His Royal Highness will not only be able to smash the corpse of the new City Lord Kongqing who took the city without authorization, but also remove the fifth princess, a stumbling block to the throne. !"

After a pause, the middle-aged cronies twitched their eyebrows and said hesitantly: "But judging from the destruction of the Vanguard Legion during the day, whether it is the new Kongqing City Lord or the Fifth Princess, it is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. "

"That idiot of Baldwin who is greedy for merit must have been ambushed by the other party."

Vince took a sip, and his face became more gloomy: "At the time of the march, the Marquis had already instructed him, and now regardless of the city master of Kongqing, the fifth princess alone, there are still two The battle-hardened general of the kingdom, but that idiot just smiled and didn't take it to heart at all."

"Your lord is right. Before the siege, when Baldwin came to you, he really gave the villain a jump."

The middle-aged confidant had a look of fear on his face, and then his face was full of admiration: "Fortunately, the lord did not join in with him, otherwise, once the white knight is to blame, it will not end well."

"Naturally, the Marquis would not be as stupid as Baldwin, or he would not have quickly recalled the 3,000 cavalry that were waiting for the opportunity when he realized that something was wrong."

Vince showed a sly smile and said leisurely: "If Birdwin's siege is successful, then we will naturally be able to get a share of the pie, and since it has failed, then we are at most just to guard against the Second Prince's Vanguard Legion, and there is no time to rescue. That's all, the White Knight-sama won't say anything."

"Lord Legionnaire, Na Kongqing Town is indeed more difficult to deal with than imagined."

The crisp armor collision sounded, and the cavalry captain who had just entered the door, bowed again and saluted: "The most important thing is that at present, we are sandwiched between Kongqing Town and the Second Prince's forces, and we are undoubtedly in the middle. very passive."

"This point, this Marquis has long considered."

Vince twitched the corners of his mouth with a disdainful smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "According to Lord White Knight's plan, we only need to guard against the second prince's vanguard army, but since Baldwin was almost wiped out, now there are more There is no one to restrain an empty green town, and from this situation, we are indeed under the enemy."

Having said this, Vince changed the conversation and said with more disdain: "However, this marquis has just personally gone to the suburbs of Kongqing Town to investigate, and found that the arrogant guys in Kongqing Town are for the day's fluke. Victory is actually being celebrated without knowing how to live or die."

"Also, don't forget to come with us, and the two scout squadrons arranged by the White Knight himself have long been scattered in the surrounding area. Whether it is Kongqing Town or the second prince's vanguard army, if something changes, We will definitely get the news as soon as possible.”

Vince's face showed a murderous look again, and he said: "This is a vast plain area, no one will be the opponent of our cavalry regiment, in this case, as long as the main force arrives, We are completely safe."

"It turns out that, as expected of the Legion Commander."

The captain of the cavalry had a broad and cheerful look, and then he bowed and asked: "There is still one thing I don't know, our own scout system is very perfect, why did the White Knight send two more elite scout squadrons? ?"

"These two elite scout squadrons are the key weapons for a surprising victory."

Under Vince's protruding cheekbones, he picked out a mysterious smile and responded: "If nothing else, the key to easily conquering Kongqing Town and completely destroying the new Kongqing City Lord is all here. On the body of the two scout squadrons."

"How can these two scout squadrons play such a huge role?"

The cavalry captain's face became more and more puzzled, and he said in confusion: "Lord Legionnaire, how is this possible?"

Hearing the sound, the faces of the other commanders present also showed the same confused expression.

"Let's analyze the situation during this period first."

Vince did not directly answer the other party's question, but said to himself: "Since the weak fifth princess arrived in Kongqing Town, she has been reborn as if she was reborn, and even helped the defenders of the mountain fortress to repel the Holy Night that invaded. Legion, this undoubtedly shows that there must be experts behind it."

"Lord Vince, what do you mean... all this is because the new Kong Qing City Lord is behind the scenes?"

The middle-aged confidant pondered for a moment, and then suddenly enlightened.

"It's already an obvious thing."

Vince nodded and affirmed: "And the two elite squadrons of scouts, who are good at reconnaissance and concealment, are specifically used to deal with the city lord Nakong Qing."

"Lord Legion Commander, do you want them to sneak into Kongqing Town and secretly assassinate the city lord of Kongqing?"

The cavalry captain rubbed his chin and asked tentatively.

"Of course it's not that simple. From the information we have, the two princess guards stationed in Kongqing Town are enough to guard against these scouts."

Vince still kept a mysterious smile on his face, and said leisurely: "According to the rumors, this Kongqing City Lord has another identity, have you all forgotten?"

"Lord Vince, are you saying that it's a matter of an alien lord?"

The middle-aged confidant had an expression of sudden realization, and blurted out: "If this is true, and judging from the act of occupying Kongqing Town, his territory must be around Kongqing Town!"

"And the purpose of the two scout squadrons is to find the territory of the Kongqing City Lord!"

The cavalry captain also reacted immediately and added: "As long as the opponent's territory can be destroyed, no matter where it hides, it will naturally be wiped out!"

"Yes, we have also killed a lot of otherworldly lords during this time, and we know that these sudden and despicable guys are deeply bound to the territory."

Vince nodded lightly again and confirmed: "And around Kongqing Town, there are only two hidden locations, the Baibu Mountains and the Shadow Forest, which are most likely to be hidden. Therefore, as long as you find their territory, you will be able to get rid of them in one fell swoop. If it is flat, the fifth princess who has lost the city master of Kongqing is naturally nothing to be afraid of."

After listening to Vince's words, all the commanders present showed a sudden realization.

"Those scouts set off secretly after the camp was set up this evening. It won't take long to figure out where the other party's territory is."

Vince's cheekbones protruded with a smile on his face, and he continued, "As long as the city master of Kongqing dies, then everything will be solved naturally."

"Hey, I'm really looking forward to that moment."

The middle-aged confidant also had a sinister look on his face, and echoed: "The villain can't wait."

The middle-aged cronies finished talking, and the other commanders also began to kill intent on their faces.

But when people in this room looked at each other and smiled.

On the roof outside the house, two petite figures wearing invisibility cloaks suddenly flashed past without leaving a trace.
