The clouds drifting from the Black Sea at the beginning of April brought enough water vapor, which caused an increase in rainwater, which fell on the ground. On the vast plains, grass grows densely under the nourishment of rain. The muddy state of the road also brings inconvenience to pedestrians.
Among them, Varisi and his party felt the various troubles caused by this inconvenience.
Riding on a Don hippo, he looks a little embarrassed now, his body is full of muddy water, and even this pure black horse under his crotch is stained with muddy water.
Just as embarrassed as him are the more than one hundred subordinates who are guarding them, and now everyone seems to have been rolling in the mud.
"Squeak~"
The sound of a series of brakes sounded, making him alert.
"what happened?"
He asked loudly to the subordinate who opened the way in front.
"The water hit a big pit ahead, and the car can't get through."
The answer of Pathfinder's subordinates stopped him.
"Rule, send a team to fill the pit, then send another team to erect the plank, and the others are on guard."
As Vasily's voice fell, the guards dispersed, leaving only two teams. One of the team, holding iron tree and other tools in their hands, seems to be the one who fills the hole. The other team walked behind a car full of planks, and it seemed that they planned to fill in the pit and erect planks to let the vehicles pass. As can be seen from a lot of sludge still sticking to the wooden boards, it is not used less on this road.
After Vasily ordered his subordinates, he stepped down and checked immediately.
This is a big pit formed by the flood. It can be seen from the fallen grass that the flood should have hit here last night. And the muddy pool of water not far from his right hand seemed to be its destination.
Vasily, who was found by the muddy road and didn't cause trouble, couldn't help complaining when he saw this place. "Damn weather, **** Hirka."
Vasily had reason to complain about this guy. After the first shipment of gold from Yulas arrived at Velix, this cunning guy stayed on the grounds of understanding the local area, so Vasily was left to take people back on the way. . Today is the second time they transported gold. They did not expect a heavy rain last night to make the road so difficult to walk.
But Vasily only complained. He didn't dare to neglect this transportation task. Along the way, the terrain on both sides of the road was outlined by him, and he also stepped forward to personally check the locations where the ambush might be encountered.
It is because he leads by example along the way that his subordinates dare not relax, so this task has been smooth so far. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the route they choose.
"All right."
After a period of construction, the puddle was covered with mud, and wooden boards were placed on it to allow cars to pass through.
Warisi's group can go on the road again.
After the noisy convoy left, the road was quiet again. In the woods farther away from the road, a bunch of branches trembled, and a person emerged from it.
He looked at the side of the convoy leaving and muttered to himself: "The convoy guarded by so many people must be a very valuable thing. Fortunately, Lao Tzu is far away, otherwise he may be discovered."
After speaking, he moved a little stiff limbs, wondering if there is only one such team, or many times? But looking at their battles, even escorting them many times is not a good bone to chew. The equipment was better than the guards he knew in the army, and it seemed difficult to take them down.
He planned to take a rest nearby and try again for two days to see if he could find any clues. But whether to go to the widow's house in the East Village or the sister Hua's house in the West, which made it difficult for him to choose.
In the next two days, the convoy led by Vasily appeared again, and all of this was seen in his eyes.
Then he asked the locals to find out more about the situation, then mounted his horse and headed northward. He needed to inform his leader of the news. And the north side seems to be what Johnny said, an armed group led by Rodysky, a former Russian military major.
…………
Thirty-two kilometers north of the town of Yulas, there is a town called Maloyev, and the group of armed forces led by Rodysky is currently entrenched here.
It used to be a well-known town near Tsaritsyn. It mainly produces grain and dairy products. The residents are living well. Years of war have destroyed the economic foundation here, and the name of this town has repeatedly been given to recruiting soldiers and collecting materials. No matter how wealthy the town is, it cannot withstand such a search, and a large number of farmers have gone bankrupt and abandoned their land. And Maloyev, famous for its agricultural products, also quickly declined.
But this is not a misery. When Soviet Russia came to power, the Russian civil war broke out. The collapse of the government's control has rapidly deteriorated local security, and Maloyev's sad life in this small town has just begun. As the origin of the grain, this small town with little protection was immediately targeted. At that time, an armed group of nearly a hundred people occupied it.
And Rodysky’s armed forces continued to occupy the small town after expelling the armed forces. In the face of being occupied by different armed forces one after another, making the life of the residents of the town even more depressing, now potatoes and wild vegetables can be regarded as a rich meal in the residents' homes.
In contrast, Rodysky’s armed forces have enough food supplies every day, allowing many desperate young people to join them, which has increased the speed of the town’s decline.
Today, there are lights and festivities in the town. It's Rodysky's birthday, I don't have to say that this is another squeeze.
In the largest and most luxurious manor in the town, a banquet is starting. In the middle of the hall, a dozen young girls with hungry faces and strong faces were dancing bluntly in exposed clothes, while a group of ferocious and armed leaders around them were drinking and having fun. Obscene eyes swept at the girls from time to time, trembling with fright, and the girls' behavior caused a burst of laughter.
In this smoky hall, as the birthday object, Rodysky sat behind and saw it all, but he turned a blind eye to it. The leader's indulgence made the leaders more courageous, and some even stepped forward to touch the dancing girl, which caused another burst of laughter.
Sitting on Rodysky's right hand, an old man with gray hair showed an awkward look at the banquet.
Rodysky, who had noticed him a long time ago, asked, "Mayor Rodiff, do you have any dissatisfaction with the actions of the officers and soldiers?"
Facing the unkind questioning of the leaders in front of him, Mayor Rodef shivered and quickly replied: "No. General, there is no dissatisfaction at all."
"Soldiers usually work hard to protect your safety, and it is understandable to indulge occasionally."
"Understand, understand."
In the face of Rodysky's brazen words, Mayor Rodiff did not dare to resist at all. He is already the third mayor under this Rodysky, and the first two were killed for failing to fully execute the demon's orders. His family was also murdered together, how could this not make Rodve's heart tremble.
As for escaping here, it became very dangerous after Rodyski took over the town. There are many wooden poles standing outside the town, with the bodies of escaped people on them.
While Mayor Rodef was awkwardly staying in this smoky environment, suddenly a spy appeared in front of everyone.
When the other bosses saw this spy, they all greeted him.
"Medley, today is the general's birthday, you are late."
"Is there any good news to tell the big guy."
"Medley, I'm going to pour you down this time."
Many bosses greeted him to see how extraordinary this spy was, but instead of responding to the surrounding words, he hurriedly walked towards Rodysky.
Rodysky saw his eagerness and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
Medley walked to him and whispered what he had observed thirty kilometers away. And also elaborated on the equipment and the level of elite of Vasily and his party in detail.
After listening to Medley's words, Rodysky said directly to him: "It's a good job. Which one of the girls below would like to choose?"
And Medley was not polite, either. He directly selected the most beautiful one in the dance and took it away with the girl's scared scream. As the person with the strongest investigative ability under Rodysky, he has such confidence.
Rodysky was not at all angry at his actions, but leaned back in his chair thinking about the gains and losses of the news. The goods that can make elite guards must be valuable, and the force of guarding elites will cause you heavy losses, a dilemma.
But now the singing and dancing stopped, and even the chieftains were quiet, waiting quietly for their leader to think about the problem, and the noisy banquet was silent for a while.
In the end, greed defeated reason, and Roddis got up and took a look at Mr. Mayor next to him. This move made him understand. I saw him stand up immediately and said, "I will take someone away."
After speaking, he immediately left with the girls who were still trembling but also relieved. These innocent people escaped for a while.
After seeing the unrelated person leave Rodysky turned to a big man with a big face sitting beside him on his left hand, and ordered: "Akerev, you go to the Cossack Fisk immediately Bastard. Tell him I have a big deal and I will divide him half when it's done."
This full-faced Akerev was his deputy, and this time Rodysky was not sure about it. In order to succeed this time, he planned to win Fisk together. Seeing the chief's cautious expression, Akerev nodded and left.
After the deputy left, Rodysky instructed the leaders in the hall: "Thirty kilometers away, someone was secretly transporting a lot of valuable goods with his own force. This time we let them know that they are not honoring. Our end."
Rodysky's words caused the leaders to shout unanimously: "Let these people know that we are great."
Rodysky nodded with satisfaction and said: "We will replenish our energy for these two days, and we will set off after Fisk, the old guy's reply, and take a **** vote."
