At night, the third team of the second guard unit of Robey manor was conducting a routine patrol around the manor.
This is their main job.
As we all know, when Lord Robey first arrived, he not only had shallow contacts with the squires of latrinite, but also suffered a despicable scam and had to build his manor in such a remote place.
There are far more beasts here than people. Since the establishment of the manor, there have been 14 cases of missing children, all concentrated in the Plantation Village on the edge of the forest.
The scene is terrible. Large predators will go deep into the manor and even touch near the villa to choose the food they feel delicious.
In order to protect his personal and property safety, Lord Robey had to expand his escort.
The expanded escort team is mainly responsible for two things.
A detachment was stationed on the beach to guard against pirate attacks by means of two old forts on both sides of the wharf.
The second team is stationed near the villa, mainly responsible for driving away wild animals. By the way, we should also beware of the aborigines and mountain thieves who settle in the forest.
Patrol around the village is their main way of work. Four groups rotate day and night.
Today, it happened that the third and fifth teams were on duty.
After resting in the duty room until the fifth team returned, the team leader lunit began his work with his team members and two well-trained Portuguese water dogs.
Northern vestibule, normal; Eastern pasture, normal; Southern cliff, normal
Holding torches, the guards walked lazily in the quiet manor. It took only more than an hour to patrol three of them. As long as they went to the Plantation Village in the west, they could return to the duty room and enjoy the hot soup and comfortable quilt.
This speed is actually a little faster
Lunit stared at his pocket watch and tangled for a long time. Seeing that the jungle was approaching, he finally made up his mind: "we'll rest here for half an hour and continue patrolling after half an hour."
The old partner was quite surprised by lunit's decision: "take a break during the patrol? Lunit, isn't it against the rules?"
"It's not that we don't go to the village, but just take a rest. It doesn't matter." lunette went to his old partner, patted his pocket watch and softly explained, "Joe, the front is too fast. If we return to the duty room before two o'clock, the five groups of guys won't think everything is normal outside, they will only suspect us of cheating."
"It's so much faster than usual?" Qiao was stunned. "But if you have a rest, it's really cheating. If the little things slip their mouths, let the vice captain hear..."
"I can't manage so much." lunette spat at the grass. "It must be the responsibility of the leader to speed up so much. Little George is your nephew. Go and remind him."
"What about you?"
"Me? For half an hour, I went to the woods to shit..."
"May the leopard like your white ass." Joe rolled his eyes hard.
"It's no use liking it." lunette tightened the dog rope in his hand. "With Gallo, the big cat can't get close to me."
……
Climbing is asasin's basic skill.
It is said that the top assassins can climb hands and feet on the smooth marble wall, hang upside down on the fragile plaster top, and approach the target silently.
Haina was born in the age of asasin's decline. Her skills and equipment have been much degraded than those of her predecessors. The realm of legend has long been a real legend for her, but if it is only a natural rock wall such as Luobei cliff, she can still be as sensitive as a sm.
Unlike Lorraine's step-by-step climbing, her main way of traveling on the rock wall is jumping.
The fingers and toes buckle on the fulcrum with the minimum force, the body bows up, uses the center of gravity to ensure that the body tilts towards the rock wall, and looks up to find the next fulcrum suitable for landing.
The new fulcrum is often within a radius of two meters. Once found, she jumps up, stops first, and then grabs. In case a fulcrum is loose and falls off, she takes off at the fastest speed and changes to the second choice prepared in advance and close at hand.
This is exclusive to her climbing style, which requires lightness, dexterity and non-human precision control of body muscles.
Lorraine was determined not to think of this way. Even if Haina taught him with her hands, his physique and skills were not enough to successfully show. Even if she stretched out her legs and kicked, the shale at the bottom of her feet had broken into two pieces.
So Haina climbs very fast. The nearly vertical rock wall of more than 50 meters is a natural moat in the eyes of mortals. She can't even delay five minutes at her feet. When Lorraine starts climbing, she has slipped up the cliff tip like a snake.
There is a forest on the cliff.
The forest is not big, but the trees are dense. The lush broad-leaved tree canopy is stacked one after another, weaving a thick cover to cover the moonlight, and only scattered spots penetrate through the gap.
Haina closed her eyes and recalled the information about the manor.
The villa is built along the mountain cliff. There are virgin forests on both East and west sides. However, the forest in the east does not overlap with the stone beach. No matter how far the advance team deviates on the way, it is impossible to drill in, so this forest can only be in the West.
After determining the orientation and taking the cliff as a reference, Haina soon walked to the edge of the forest and found Joe who was busy teaching her nephew a lesson.
Escort? sentry? Two? A dog?
Is this their sentry post? Why do we have to set up sentries at the intersection of cliffs and trees? In case of mountain bandits or pirates climbing the cliff? Do many people like to attack suddenly by climbing?
Haina covered her bonnet with almost stopped speed, carefully hid her short blond hair, and her mind turned quickly.
Suppose that this is the holy land for lawless people to climb with their bare hands. It is extremely popular. Are these two people all the hands of the sentry? If there is an open sentry, will there be another hidden sentry for early warning? Where's the secret sentry?
She calmed down to listen.
In the breeze tonight, there is a rustle of leaves on the top of my head, a slight wave of grass leaves stirred by snakes and insects at my feet, vulgar and fierce abuse at the sentry in the distance, and intermittent calls of night owls on my head, COO, coo
There is no obvious difference.
Haina is confident in her hearing. Although she is not completely sure, on the whole, she believes that there is no hidden whistle nearby.
Far away?
Lorraine told her that in the cooperation of light and dark whistle, the bright whistle is the bait and the cheese on the mousetrap.
No matter how the secret Sentry is set, its only observation target is the open sentry.
Environment, field of vision, space... There are not many suitable locations for setting secret sentries. In a twinkling of an eye, Haina screened five, three on the tree and two under the tree.
She bent down and loosened the laces of her leather boots. With a slight shake, she stepped on the grass barefoot and passed all the points silently like a ghost.
Sure enough, there was no secret sentry in the forest. Close to the observation, the two people and a dog outside the forest were not like serious sentries at all.
They have no backpacks, and there are no normal facilities and campfires where they stay. They are not so much sentinels as the young one who wants to be lazy on the patrol and is being admonished by the older one.
In that case
Hannah approached Joe and little George under the cover of the tree trunk. They were facing her with their back, without threat. On the contrary, the water dog on the side seems to lie lazily on the ground, but whether it is a motionless tail or branched ears, it still does its duty and does not relax its vigilance for a moment.
Unfortunately, Haina will neither let it hear the sound nor let it smell the smell
Cold flash!
The red velvet flying knife suddenly flew out of the forest and crossed the space in the blink of an eye. Before the water dog reacted, it pierced from the right ear and crossed the brain obliquely. The water dog died.
Its high head hit the ground with a bang. Without time to make a warning, Joe and little George didn't find anything different.
After eliminating the greatest threat, Haina climbed up the tree, took out the slender sling from her pocket and tied a collar.
The collar was thrown out, floating gently, rubbing the tip of Joe's nose and hanging on his shoulder. Joe's curse stopped suddenly. He touched his chest and found a thin leather rope.
"This is..."
Sooner or later, Hannah jumped down from the tree, tightened the collar and strangled Joe's neck.
Joe struggled with his eyes raised, his body tilted, and his feet made long drag marks on the grass.
Little George was stunned.
He saw a dark shadow jumping down from the tree, floating and flying, shaking his wrist at the center of his eyebrows... Poof!
A moment later, Joe stopped struggling and turned into a body hanging on the branch of a tree. George and the water dog lay together, and the bleeding accumulated a thick pool of blood in the grass. Haina took back her leather cord and Throwing Knife in silence and wiped her pocket.
"The threat is cleared... Lorraine is about to climb up. It's time to go back..."
