Chapter 655 The Other Side Under the Starry Sky

The sky is full of stars, and the two moons are bright and clean.

A bright Milky Way looms in the dark night, just like a white line dotted with colors.

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

Accompanied by the sound of heavy armor rubbing, teams of patrols surrounded by magic light spheres are patrolling back and forth.

I saw these heavily armed soldiers, the broadswords in their hands had been unsheathed, and the sharp eyes hidden in the barrel helmets were closely watching the wind and grass around them.

Next to the patrolling soldiers was a whole row of sharp large deer villages. The new wood that had just been sharpened was still filled with a fresh smell, and behind it was a large fence built of wood.

Under the illumination of the patrol team's magic light ball, 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 archery towers, and the figures of longbowmen with quiver on their backs can be seen faintly in the archery towers.

And, it's obvious.

Whether it's a wooden fence or a wooden watchtower, there is a faint magical streamer flickering on the surface from time to time, which is obviously coated with a special anti-magic coating that resists low-level fire spells.

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

It was the cavalry corps that was stationed by the eldest prince's forces to restrain the second prince's vanguard.

In this heavily fortified village, in a very inconspicuous low-rise residential house, there is a faint light of light spar.

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

Behind him stood a few ordinary commanders in riding boots and wearing knight armor respectfully.

"Master Legion, this subordinate led people to search carefully just now, and not only did not even see a single person in the farthest village of Kongqing Town, but there was not even a single grain of wheat left in the barn. , leaving is obviously very calm and orderly."

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

"Very good. This time we are traveling lightly. The food we carry with us can last for a few days, but the fodder and water for the 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 fifty years old, with a dry and thin face with protruding cheekbones, no expression could be seen, and he was wearing a set of extremely gorgeous purple aristocratic costumes.

Under the reflection of the light spar lamp on the wooden table, the shining fabric of the top-grade satin is extremely incompatible with this extremely simple and ordinary house, as if they are in two different worlds.

The most striking thing is the shiny horse head emblem on his chest.

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

Being able to wear this special noble identity mark undoubtedly shows that this tall and thin man is a noble marquis with a detached status.

Just like the captain mentioned just now, this person is the commander of this cavalry corps, and one of the core figures of the eldest prince's faction in this area, the 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 units. It was once the cold flame city most yearned for by knights and full of chivalry.

However, with the passage of time, the open and secret struggle between the traditional aristocrats and the new aristocrats intensified.

This well-known city of knights began to gradually degenerate until it completely lost the humility and justice that knights should have, and instead became a vanguard army dedicated to restoring the serf system.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that the cavalry unit loyal to Pentium City has maintained a high level of combat effectiveness.

"So that's the case, you are worthy of being the leader of the legion."

The captain of the cavalry team had a broad and cheerful expression, bowed and asked again: "There is still one thing I don't understand. Our scout system is already perfect, why does the Lord White Knight send two more elite scout squadrons?" ?

"These two elite scout squadrons are the key weapons for winning by surprise."

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

"These two scout squadrons can play such a huge role?"

The bewilderment on the face of the cavalry captain became more and more intense, and he said in confusion: "Master Legion, 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 time first."

Vince didn't directly answer the other party's question, but said to himself: "Since the weak fifth princess arrived in Kongqing Town, she has been completely reborn, and even helped the defenders of the mountain fortress to repel the invading Holy Night. Legion, this undoubtedly shows that there must be expert guidance behind it."

"Master Vince, what do you mean... all this is caused by the new City Lord Kong Qing?"

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

"It's already an obvious thing."

Vince nodded and said affirmatively, "And those two elite scout squadrons, who are good at detection and concealment, are specially used to deal with the city lord Nakongqing."

"Master Legion, are you letting them 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 that the Marquis has, the two princess guards stationed in Kongqing Town alone are enough to guard against these scouts."

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

"Master Vince, are you saying that it is a matter of an alien lord?"

The middle-aged confidant looked suddenly enlightened, and blurted out: "If this is true, and judging from his occupation of Kongqing Town, his territory must be around Kongqing Town!"

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

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!"

"That's right, during this period of time, I have also killed many lords from other worlds, and I know that these lowly people who came out of nowhere are deeply bound to the territory."

Vince nodded slightly again, and confirmed: "Around Kongqing Town, there are only two hidden locations, the Baibu Mountain Range and the Shadow Forest, which are most likely. Therefore, as long as you find its territory, you will be able to find it in one fell swoop. If it is flattened, then the fifth princess ~ who lost the city lord Kongqing will naturally have nothing to fear."

After listening to Vince's words, the faces of all the commanders present showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Those scouts set off secretly after the camp was set up this evening. It won't be long before they find out where the other party's territory is."

On Vince's face with protruding cheekbones, a dark smile appeared immediately, and he continued: "As long as the city lord Kongqing dies, then everything will naturally be solved."

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

The middle-aged confidant also had a vicious look on his face, and echoed: "The villain is a little impatient."

After the middle-aged confidant finished speaking, the faces of the other commanders also began to show murderous intent.

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

On the roof outside the house, two petite and exquisite figures wearing an invisibility cloak suddenly flashed past without leaving a trace.
