Path of The Dragonborn

"What? Retreat?" The deputy captain said in surprise-the loudness of the voice was particularly conspicuous in this silent night. However, he didn't mean to curb his emotions, instead he continued to ask loudly and excitedly-because this was really unreasonable.

Just now, the captain, who had been waiting outside the town, suddenly sent a message saying that he would give up this mission and rush back with his twenty people.

What does it mean? He frowned.

This is not in line with the captain's long-standing character, nor does it conform to the long-standing goal of "Ned Hogg". But this is indeed the captain's order.

Could it be that something unexpected happened over there? He thought so. There is only one explanation for thinking about it, otherwise it would be impossible for such an abnormal thing to happen.

"Deputy Captain, this..." Obviously, not only himself, but all the players also showed hesitating expressions in unison. Halfway through the mission, it was suddenly suspended without any progress. This was the first time in various operations.

"...Let’s go back and see what happened. The captain will not give strange orders casually." After thinking for a moment, the deputy captain decided to do the same-not because of his trust in the captain, but because of this. By doing this, he can personally determine what happened and then decide how to proceed. If the other party is arbitrarily judging something oolong, then he will not deny that afterwards, he will find a way to directly report to the higher authority.

As for the fact that in the case of the conclusion of a treaty with the Duke of El Barrea, he still violated the regulations and took on external tasks. Of course, it was also his captain who was in the wrong, and it was not his turn. Moreover, if it did not cause actual Generally speaking, superiors will not pursue such trivial matters—and the so-called huge losses include, but are not limited to, for example, letting the Duke of El Barrea know that they are going out to pick up their lives privately. The reputation of the hunting regiment, or the failure of the mission, not only caused the extra extra money to be lost, but also a large amount of personnel and equipment.

The deputy captain gave such an order, and naturally the hunters under his command did not dare to say much. Although they were talking, they were already full of complaints about what happened just now.

Soon, the small detachment of this hunting regiment, under alternate cover, slowly withdrew from the surroundings of the Viscount Mansion without leaving any traces, as if they had never been here.

"What's going on? They retreated?" The chasers left suddenly, leaving Vonas and Levy, who had been in the Viscount's mansion for a long time, at a loss. Levi wiped his eyes and looked at it several times to confirm that this was not an illusion. Even the snipers at the back had already retreated, and it seemed that they had all evacuated from this place.

"Yeah... Although I don't know why. I guess 80% of it is something on the refuge side—maybe that is their main target." Warners said, "They didn't use mortars on the Viscount Mansion. Such weapons, and it seems that their main force is not here. This may mean that we are just a feint, and their actions are just to prevent the guards of the Viscount Mansion from acting rashly. Maybe there are some big figures in the political and business circles here. Lost in the second civil war and was chased all the way."

"It's possible." Levi nodded, and forging a civilian's false identity is not difficult for such a person, and it is even more difficult to judge the confusion among refugees in the chaos of war. However, the hunting regiment, or the hirers behind the hunting regiment, obviously can find a way to obtain relevant information, and then release hunting dogs like the hunting regiment to hunt them down. It is also possible that they chose to retreat all after confirming that the target was cleared out at the refuge.

"Should I follow them?" Levi looked at Warners and offered to offer.

"No need... you are the absolute guarantee of safety here. Until it is completely safe, we can't mobilize your combat power casually." Warners shook his head, "The outside situation can only rely on Garcia and Martha. Got it."

"So, what are you going to do?" Levi asked suspiciously.

"Go back and rest." Warners replied simply.

"What..." Levi was taken aback for a moment-he didn't expect this answer.

"The mortar just now was obviously enough to awaken most of the people in the entire town-although they have not run out of the house to confirm this, I am very pleased. However, the shelter tomorrow The look over there, I must be able to see it, and then I will be busy with various aftermaths and countermeasures-unlike you who have the force, this is the only thing I can do in this situation. So , If you don’t recharge your energy, how can you do things tomorrow?"

"So that's the case... you can clearly distinguish it." Levy nodded and agreed with this statement, "Then, I will patrol around the Viscount Mansion for a while to see if they leave any traces. Of course, I will not go too far."

"Hmm...I believe you, you just need to master your own measures." Warners nodded, with serious eyes, and walked back to the Viscount's bedroom.

"The deputy captain... has carried out my order." Some of the "Ned Hogg" captain, who hung up the communication tremblingly, looked at Heliga with a frightened look-although the latter did not take the sharp blade in his hand at this time. Came to threaten him, but from the captain's eyes, that look is no different from the sharpest knife, "With their efficiency, within ten minutes, they can definitely—"

"Ten minutes... I don't know if it takes such a long time, will you forget what I taught you just now?" Heilijia said lightly, his voice was very small, but the captain directly interrupted his words. "Repeat it again."

"Yes... I received the latest contact from the Earl of Amancia, the intelligence is incorrect, and the mission is cancelled... The bounty will be paid as usual." The captain stammered.

"Then, what if he insists on doubting this and doesn't want to believe you?" Heliga continued to ask.

"Kill...Kill..."

"That's right." Heliga nodded in satisfaction, "If something like this happens, how do you go back and explain to the Count of Omansia?"

"The goal...there are several very powerful masters in the target area. The action was discovered under their intervention. Although it was successful, it paid a heavy price..."

"Then what if he believes it?"

"Lie... The lie task has been completed, and provide evidence just... what you gave just now..."

"Hmm... It seems that although your guy is too scared to speak, but his mind is still clear." Heliga even thought the person in front of him was a bit funny, "If you can do this later, I Will let you go. Of course, if you don’t want to die, don’t show up in front of me a second time, okay?"
