Chapter 1612 Red Clothes
The night is silent, the cold wind blows, and the light of the magic circle flickers. This should be a peaceful night. After the brief war, no one wants to think about it in such a night. Come out, wandering bandits, and people who gather under various names, they will all regard you as a target for robbery.
However, at this time, someone happened to come to this deserted place in the middle of the night.
There is a guard post next to the intercity teleportation array. The guards in the post are specially responsible for maintaining the safety of the teleportation array. Originally, ten sentries were supposed to be on duty at this time, patrolling around the teleportation array, but after a few days of boring patrols, they thought that no one would come to destroy the place, so they began to slack off.
The weather is cold, and it is easier to feel sleepy hiding in a sentry room with a heater. Several sentry guards have already yawned repeatedly, and their upper eyelids are touching their lower eyelids. But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly penetrated the guard post through the glass. The sleepy guard soldiers were fascinated by the bright light and could not open their eyes. Then a shocking explosion suddenly sounded, and the entire house of the guard post was shaken. The impact of the air wave instantly shattered the door and window glass, and countless flying sand and rocks flew in. The people in shock did not know what had happened. Some had been hit by the gravel, and some were knocked away by the air wave.
All this happened very briefly. When I thought about it, I realized that the intercity teleportation array had been destroyed. Only the energy contained in the intercity teleportation array can cause such a strong explosion.
"Get up, get up, don't pretend to be dead!" Someone in the outpost was still alive, and he shouted in panic, even though his body was covered in dust and blood.
Fortunately, the outpost was built solidly, using square bricks made from solid stones. Although it was next to the teleportation array, there were trees blocking the way, so the outpost was preserved.
But even so, two unlucky outpost guards were hit in the forehead and body by the flowstone, and died on the spot. The remaining people were injured and wore armor and ran out to see.
Outside, the entire forest was destroyed, and the originally magnificent intercity teleportation array was razed to the ground. The soldiers at the outpost were stunned. The remnants of the explosion were buzzing in their ears. There was only a piece of magic flame that was still burning and dissipating in front of them.
At this time, they saw a group of people in red clothes surrounding them.
"You... what are you going to do?"
The faces of the men in red were as dark as water, and they were coming with bad intentions, and the sentry suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
“Are you from Sonash?” The men in red surrounded the soldiers at the outpost, and one of them asked.
The soldiers at the outpost couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. It wasn't until the other party repeated it again that the sentinels nodded and said yes. Sonakshi is a nearby city a few kilometers away, and the sentinels in the outpost are all recruited from the city.
The sentry panicked: "You blew up the teleportation array. What do you want to do? You..."
The man in red clothes who asked the question had a white eagle painted on his chest. His face became darker, but at the same time he rose a little. Smile, sneer, sneer: "You We are Sonash people, we should be loyal to Elvia, but now we have become the lackeys of the invaders, damn it!"
The word "death" came out, and the sword was unsheathed, and the sentry was frightened and wanted to run away, in the blink of an eye. But he became a ghost under the sword.
The man in red with a white eagle painted on his chest swung his knife to shake off the blood on the blade and said: "Anyone who betrays Elvia must die!"
A few days later, Sa Fu Zai frowned and felt irritable in the prison. In just a few days, three teleportation arrays had been destroyed, and until now, he didn't even know who was responsible for the destruction. Everyone in the office looked at Safo's gloomy face and dared not speak. The atmosphere was stiff and cold.
It’s no wonder that Sarver is so angry. He is responsible for security work. The construction of each intercity teleportation array is an astronomical number. Now, not long after the new one was built, three of them were destroyed. This is his responsibility, and it is also for the people. His provocations and insults.
After a while, Safo suddenly raised his head, slapped the table and shouted: "You guys are talking, things have reached this point, don't you have anything to say?"
Every official in the office lowered their heads, muttering in their hearts: "What are you talking about? Say whatever you can." I don’t know what else to say.”
Safo said angrily: “You trash, if something so big happens, you can’t even find out who the other party is, or you are simply not. You don’t do things carefully, are you trying to deal with me?”
The officials didn’t even dare to say anything, and there was nothing more to say.
Safo looked at these people. To maintain public security in various places, these locals had to be used, but these people were so incompetent, which was really annoying. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to hold back for the time being and asked: "Where is Mr. Pige?" An official replied: "Master Pige went out after the Sonash teleportation array was destroyed and never came back."
Safo asked again: "Then do you have any clues? If there is no clue, then do you have any clues?" Any ideas?"
"This..."
After a while, someone finally spoke. He said: "Sir Sarver, it is definitely not the one who can blow up our intercity teleportation array. One person, but a group of people, they must be doing it with premeditation and plan.”
Sarver said angrily: "Nonsense, do you need to explain these situations in detail? Say something useful."
The official quickly said: "Since the first destruction incident, you have ordered various places to The teleportation array has tightened security, but these people are still able to succeed one after another, which shows that they are against the enemy. The place where the crime occurred is very familiar, and the places where the three incidents occurred are relatively far apart and cannot be easily reached within a few days. Although the three cases are sequential in time, they each occurred in different places. It was done by different people, but these different people used the same method and did the same thing Sir Sarver, after your army has occupied various countries, there are still some secret resistance forces in various places, but these people are fighting on their own and resisting you in their own way, but this kind of confrontation is not threatening. But now judging from the above signs, I am afraid that someone has already unified these scattered forces. Together, they will carry out organized and planned confrontation activities. I am worried that the destruction of the teleportation array in the past few days is just the beginning, and they will have follow-up actions."
Safer has already served as a security guard. It's been some time, but he has always been a reckless man, and he didn't expect it to go so deep. After the official mentioned this, he suddenly felt that it made sense, and he further realized that this matter might be more serious than he imagined. If it was really an organized and planned confrontation, the dangers and consequences would be even more serious.
Seeing that Sarver's face became more uneasy, the official immediately said: "Sir, this situation is actually not good, but it also has good aspects."
"Oh, tell me quickly. , what’s good about it?”
The official said: "In the past, the resistance forces were scattered all over the country and hidden in the dark. Although the threat was not as great as it is now, it was also very difficult to deal with. Now that they are united, there will be a leader, or a leader. The leader group, as long as their leader can be found, they can be eradicated in one fell swoop."
Safo said: "But we have to do it. How can we find out their leader? "
The official said: "This requires intelligence work to be done well. As long as the net is widened and there is sufficient intelligence and information, there is no need to worry about the other party. Don't reveal your whereabouts."
"Intelligence information?" Sarver frowned. Now that Pige is not here, he only knows a little about intelligence collection. He thought for a moment and asked the official: "I know, what you said is very good. By the way, what is your name?"
The official raised his eyebrows and looked at Sarver, thinking: " I've been working for you for so long, and you don't even know my name. It's really..." Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still said respectfully: "My name is Sarkozyer, and I am your secretary. .”
Safo nodded with satisfaction: "I remember your name."
......
This is a street in a small town, a cold rain has just fallen, a bad street There were puddles of puddles everywhere on the road. The people here are relatively simple and their lives are not that rich. In fact, due to soil geology, the land here is not suitable for growing crops, there is no fertile pasture, and it is impossible to raise livestock. Such places are usually relatively remote. It does not mean how remote the location is, but it is sparsely populated.
Many of the people who live here have never left their homes more than fifty kilometers away in their entire lives. The farthest they can do is to go to the city fifty kilometers away to buy some things and sell some of their own handicrafts. For them, the outside world is beautiful, colorful, and rich. It's not that they don't want to leave, but they can't leave. Without good conditions, you can't go further and study in better colleges. If you can't learn more useful things, you can only do poor things and live a poor life for generations. Poverty is sometimes a cycle. . Those who have the ability and conditions are gone, and the remaining people can only survive in this cycle.
Now that it is getting cold, the only field in the east of the town that can be used for growing things cannot be used. The remaining grains at home have to be carefully calculated, and some bacon and grain wine must be prepared for use in the new year and spring. There are not many jobs that can make money at this time. Fortunately, when the weather is cold, everyone will wear more clothes. The women in the town use the wool bought by the men from the city to knit sweaters, and then sell them to the city in exchange for two coins. .
On this day, this poor town had a poor start as usual, until two people suddenly came to the town at noon, two people wearing red clothes.
