Chapter 1187 1169. Reconnaissance Team
The forward reconnaissance team is regarded as a target, but who is this target meant to attract to attack?
Looking at the low and squat figures in this team, the answer is really self-evident.
Lan glanced sideways at Zoltan beside him.
“You should also understand, right?”
"Yeah." The savage-faced dwarf responded angrily, "I'm not stupid, so why don't I understand this? But when we followed Yarpan out, we had already thought about it."
"I am Zoltan Ziva! Now that I have made my decision, there is nothing to complain about. Just get on with the work."
"Hey, are you a dwarf from the Ziva clan?"< br>
Speaking of Zoltan's surname, Lan En raised his eyebrows, and he remembered his past experience.
In order to find the master-level equipment blueprints of the Bear School, he went to the Amel Mountains in the south, and also helped a group of reclusive dwarf clans solve their troubles in the mountains.
"Lens Ziva." Lan En turned to Zoltan and said, "Are you familiar with this name?"
"Ah?" The dwarf held the reins and turned his head in surprise, "That's The great elder of my clan! How do you know him? I haven’t heard his name for decades since I moved to Mahakam.”
“I have been to the Amer Mountains. We even helped each other with the dwarves of Fort Hayne there!"
Lan En said familiarly.
By the way, I remembered the dwarves who admired the witcher so much because they gave Regis a grand and tragic death.
"Haha!" After comparing the information with each other again, Zoltan's short legs swayed happily on the driver's seat, "It really comforts me to be able to hear the news from my hometown in such a stupid situation. ”
The convoy moved all the way along Mahakam’s mountain wall on the edge of the Pontal River, heading towards the Pontal Valley.
The first goal of this convoy is to go to the floating port.
It was a trading town established by Temeria in the Pontar Valley.
Needless to say, the importance of the location of the Pontal Valley, and the valley is so long that even the lightest boat riding the strongest water would have to take a whole day to complete the journey.
Although the battle for the most important military stronghold in the valley, Haji Fortress, Temeria lost to Aedirn decades ago.
The river section after Haji Fortress belongs to the territory of Aedirn.
But Temeria couldn't leave the Pontar Valley unused, so within its own territory, Foltest established an initial scale of water transportation. Trading town.
Although this sudden change seems to be spreading to cover the entire Pontar Valley, Temeria always has to look after the interests of its own territory first.
“But this strategy is too passive.”
Lan En whispered to himself as his body jolted as the carriage wheels rolled over the rocky road.
In this forward reconnaissance team that contains many non-human races, Sakia is having a lively chat with Yalpan.
It seems that the combination of the dwarf's boldness and straightforwardness, as well as his years of experience in the business world, makes Saskia feel like a good fit. The two of them began to laugh occasionally.
Let the originally depressing atmosphere become slightly more relaxed.
The Clinfield raiders were still scanning the grass and trees in front of them with vigilance, but they also began to discuss some possible situations and response tactics with the people in the dwarf team, intending to be able to deal with them in an emergency. Achieve simple cooperation.
In addition, not only these people, but also some mercenaries with half-elf blood were also incorporated into this forward reconnaissance team.
They were not familiar with the others, so they could only occasionally interject a few words while they were busy on their way, and the rest of the time they were silent.
Heretics are more hateful than heretics. If you think according to this statement, there is no doubt that if the Scoia'tael takes action, they will definitely run towards this forward reconnaissance team first.
After all, in their view, these people are traitors to their race.
"What did you just say? What moved you?"
Zoltan was holding the reins with one hand, holding the water bottle under his elbow, and trying to uncork the bottle with the other hand to take a drink of water.
"No, it's nothing." Lan En shook his head and reached out to help him.
"Ah, thank you." Zoltan said as he wiped the remaining water drops on his beard, and at the same time naturally forgot what he had just said.
“No, you’re welcome.” Lan En said while concealing his hand into the alchemy leather bag on his waist.
He accurately grasped the cone-shaped crystal inside. The roaring bear head pendant around his neck trembled slightly, and then quickly calmed down.
Within two minutes, a horse-riding attendant carrying a message caught up from behind the motorcade.
After he put his head out and searched among the forward reconnaissance team for a while, he found that there were three or four people wearing magic cloaks.
So I could only control the horse to jog while shouting: "Royal Counselor Ms. Triss Merigold is looking for someone, the one last night. Who is it? Raise your hand."
Lane, who was sitting next to Zoltan at the front of the team, raised his hand.
Suddenly everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Because there were many people in the middle, it was difficult to get through, so the attendant simply shouted to Lan En from the distance: "Get off the car and wait for me, madam, do you hear me?" It wasn't until Lan En nodded that he returned to the back of the team. Go back to life.
Then Lan En said hello to Zoltan, who was in the same car, and prepared to stand up.
The short-haired dwarf with cockscombs opened his mouth and looked up and down at his traveling companion who had just been in the same car, especially focusing on his lower body, and gave a look mixed with respect.
"What's going on?" Beside the carriage, Sakia rode closer and asked in a low voice, "Is this some kind of trouble?"
"This is not trouble!" Yalpin, who was in the car behind, laughed loudly and said, "Oh my God, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into that sorceress?"
"Legend has it that sorceresses have great desires. You can kill several men at once, but you actually let her linger?"
"You just came out of her big tent this morning, and now she can't help it. Tsk. "Tsk, tsk."
The men's strange comparison and respect left Sachia puzzled.
After all, even the Clynnfield Marauder next to him had this expression.
"You already said it was a legend, Yalpan." Lan En jumped out of the carriage lightly from Zoltan's side, "You are also an old man, don't keep fooling people with legends."
"No matter what!" The motorcade that continued to move forward passed by Lan En, who had stopped. Yarpan smoothed his side-parted mohawk hair, and with the tacit smile of men, he drove the carriage He bowed slightly to Lan En from his seat.
"I wish you a good time."
In response, Lan reached out and slapped the horse he was driving on the butt. The sudden slight acceleration caused Yalpen to curse loudly and pull on the reins before he could calm down.
The team kept moving forward, and Lan En, who was standing still, naturally kept falling behind.
Finally, after passing the contemptuous and disgusting gazes of the White Rose Knights, a brisk sound of horse hooves came over.
Triss was sitting on the back of a docile mare. The ups and downs of her body made the soldiers in the convoy unable to control their gaze.
"How did you stay among those White Rose Knights for so long?"
The long motorcade was still moving forward, and the sound of wheels told the two not to be too careful in their conversation.
Lan En shrugged: "I believe the look in their eyes that they want to stab you in the back when you turn around."
The smiling red-haired sorceress looked quite indifferent.
“If I cared about other people’s opinions, then I wouldn’t be a sorceress, my dear.”
“Wear something tight, wrap up your hair, wash and cook, Then I was slapped by my husband at home until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, but do you think I am that kind of person?"
As she said that, the sorceress smiled evilly and slit the skirt on Lan En's side. , and it was pulled higher. Revealing her round and white thighs.
The witcher shook his head and chuckled: "Of course, you are not that kind of person. You are [Fearless Merigold]."
Immediately, the witcher stopped his lover's smile and showed his seriousness about getting down to business.
So Tris also changed her mentality from flirting to work.
"Seward and those White Roses want to use the strikers as targets, which is no problem tactically. But they don't even have shields or arrow shields on the car. This It's just a waste of human life."
Lan En said in a deep voice.
In military tactics, it is normal to set up bait and targets, and no one can say anything.
But the difference between 'setting up bait' and 'abandoning the troops' lies in whether the bait troops are provided with appropriate equipment and supplies, as well as the follow-up support plan, and the necessity of this tactic.
There is no doubt that Hiward is using the Strikers as expendable.
“I can transfer some equipment to them. Although both Siward and White Rose want to expel me, after all, I am here to provide magic support on behalf of the Temerian royal family, so this is not difficult. ”
The mare under Triss’s crotch was wandering.
“But you don’t use crystals to talk to me just for these things?”
"Indeed." Lan En nodded and admitted, "Siward wants to take the team to the floating port, which already shows the problem."
"If it is to deal with monsters, or some kind of magical anomaly, If it changes, then he should take the initiative to investigate instead of going to a certain place to strengthen defense. He really thinks that the problem now is just the Scoia'tael causing chaos."
After sighing at this fool who deceived himself. En raised her chin decisively towards Triss.
“Can you sense those abnormal chaotic magic powers now? Let’s just go over and have a look.”
“Hearsay is not as accurate as actual investigation after all.”
< br>
"Of course I have no problem. The range of influence of that thing and the traces left behind are very terrifying. I can feel it."
Triss said seriously and solemnly at first, but then, a look on her face He showed a teasing smile.
“But a lustful sorceress led a man to disappear in the team. This statement is really fascinating. Isn’t it?”
