Di Fu is a general of the western border army of the Gryphon Kingdom, with more than 3,000 men under his command, responsible for the security of the kingdom's border with the Gobi. He was born in a small aristocratic family in Didu, relying on a little talent, plus marrying a fat ugly lady in the Augustan family who was so bad that he could hardly marry, he mixed up to today's status. Don't look at the official, but after all, he has real power. Except for a few nasty robbers, the border area is basically peaceful. And there are still many places to fish for the past caravans here, and there are tens of thousands of gold coins in oil and water every year.
And now, after fishing for more than ten years, he is also tired of writing crookedly, and he always wants to return to the imperial capital to enjoy. And now, there is a good opportunity in front of him. Just help the family fix that pesky little castle and take it down. You can return to the imperial capital as a hero, and a well-paid position will be prepared for him.
To this end, he did not hesitate to work hard, personally tossed for several months, and spent a little of his own money, and finally cobbled together supplies and transportation materials that could allow more than 2,000 troops to penetrate deep into the Gobi. And through the connections he has accumulated over the years, he has invited 3 large mercenary organizations, and there are as many as four or five masters of the sixth level alone. No way, after all, the internal situation of that Fort Intrepid is not well understood, but one thing Difoe got from the people of his own family is that there are at least 10 cyclops in the castle.
Di Fu knew that the power of this terrifying sixth-level long-range class in defense was very terrifying, which was why he hired a master so solemnly, and did not dare to slack off at all, for fear of something going wrong. Moreover, even on the way of travel, he was also very careful, and every time he camped, he was extremely cautious, not only to protect the important Qingshui cart in the middle of the army, but even to send cavalry to scout everywhere, for fear of being attacked by someone.
Defoe himself was very much of an example and toured the camp every night. = Junzitang starter = always the last to rest, and today is no exception. Defoe, who had just inspected the camp, returned to his tent and sat on the blanket, too tired to move.
At this time, Difoe's orderly walked in with a plate of water, put it at Difoe's feet, and said with a smile: "General, you have been working for a day, wash your feet quickly!" "
"Oh. Damn, didn't I tell you that my clear water is precious? Difoe immediately said dissatisfied, "Now is not the time to waste water on washing your feet!" "
"Don't worry General." The orderly smiled and said: "In another 10 days, we can rush to the oasis, and our remaining water can still support 12 days, you just wash your feet twice a day!" "
"But. To be known by the following people, the impact is not good! Defoe said with some hesitation.
"How so? Are you a general? Special should be! Moreover, I will secretly dispose of the water in a moment, they are all sleeping, no one will know. You don't have to worry at all. The orderly hurriedly persuaded.
"Oh, is that so?" Di Fu thought for a while, but finally did not escape this **. Letting the orderly take off his shoes and socks, and then put his feet comfortably into the water, ah, suddenly an incomparably comfortable feeling arose, so that the tired Defoe was almost intoxicated at this moment.
The comfortable feeling made Defoe, who was already very tired, in a trance, so that he unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The orderlies carefully pulled Difudi's feet out of the water and began to wipe them with a soft linen.
However. At this moment, there was a sudden boom outside, and there was a shocking explosion. Difu, who was already sleeping, was suddenly awakened, jumped up on the spot, and didn't even care about putting on shoes, so he ran out naked. Look in the direction where the explosion came. I was stunned.
It turned out that he saw a large group of cars in the distance that was closely guarded. At this time, it has completely turned into flames and fragments. I don't know what it was, it caused a super explosion in the dense car formation, nearly a hundred large cars lost most of them, especially the water-filled water truck, almost all of them were damaged, either completely shattered, or by flying debris punched out of large and small holes, precious clear water gushed out, but no one could save it.
As soon as he saw this scene, Di Fu was immediately dumbfounded, and his mouth couldn't help but say: "It's over, it's all over!" "
"General, call someone to save it!" The orderly reminded loudly on the side.
Di Fu woke up this time, and hurriedly used all his strength to shout: "Quick, get me back the clear water, hurry!" "
After that, Di Fu himself did not care about wearing shoes, so he boarded a horse beside him barefoot, and then rushed to the place where the accident occurred with dozens of personal soldiers.
When I got there, the sky was full of scattered corpses and pieces of wood. The most conspicuous are the few large craters in the ground, which are obviously the center of the explosion. And there are almost no intact vehicles around, especially the loss of the watermill is particularly heavy, just far away, still not clear, now when I get closer, I find that the other party seems to have deliberately chosen the watermill to start, so that most of the watermill has been blown up, only 3, 5 have not fallen apart, but there are also cracks or holes in the side wall, and the clear water is constantly flowing.
A few soldiers who arrived early could not care about saving their wounded companions, so they first went to use their hands and clothes to block the running water. It's a pity that there are too many cracks, they can block one or two, but they can't block dozens of them?
Seeing this, Difoe hurriedly called his own soldiers to help, and then he himself looked around to find out who attacked the land. But after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find any battle around the barracks, it seemed that he was calculated, and the rest of the place was fine!
Seeing this, Di Fu immediately couldn't help but scold: "Damn, there must be a traitor sneaking in!" Otherwise, they won't just spoil here. Guards, what about the guards guarding here? "
"Report General, more than 200 people stationed here have either died in battle or are seriously injured and unconscious, and none of them have woken up yet!" An officer who arrived early reported.
"Oh no!" Di Fu said angrily, "That means we don't even know who the traitor is?" "
"No, General, I think it's easy to infer that such a terrible explosion is obviously the work of a magician, but there are no magicians among our people?" The officer reminded, "But it seems that several of the mercenaries are mages. "
"Ah, I see!" Di Fu couldn't help but nod and said, "Obviously, those mages are all suspicious!" "
At this time, the leaders of several mercenary groups also arrived, and they were all dumbfounded on the spot after seeing all this, after all, they are all people who often walk on this road, and naturally know what Qingshui means. Now that they found that Qingshui had lost everything, several people couldn't help but change their faces, and one of them immediately exclaimed: "Oh! Damn, how so? General Defoe, what the hell happened? "
"What happened?" Di Fu said angrily, "Isn't this obvious? Thieves have infiltrated our camp and destroyed our most precious source of water! "
"Treachery? Where is it? The guy immediately asked suspiciously.
"I should have asked you that!" Difoe said angrily.
"Ask us?" The guy immediately sneered: "General, I must remind you that it is your people who guard the water source!" "
"It is the magician who destroys the water source!" Defoe roared, "You don't think I have that thing in my hand, do you? "
"Not necessarily, maybe you have a mage hidden in the army." Besides, there are 200 living people watching, and a mage can unleash so many spells in a row after coming in without knowing it? Another group leader sneered: "Such a powerful spell is not to mention level four or above, are you a Saint Domain expert as our people?" Can you instantly fire a level 4 spell? "
"There will definitely be no mages among my people, and besides, what good will it do me to sabotage this mission? I spent a lot of money to build vehicles, gather subordinates, prepare food and grass, and invite you, and come here in person, just to watch the fireworks? Defoe roared, "This is! "
"So what do you think of this time?" One of the group leaders said, "You know, we are all very reputable people, we will abide by the agreement when we receive money, and we will not do such a thing at all." "
"Yes, you are very reputable, but the problem is, I don't know if you just took my money, I suspect that one of your teams took double shares, including mine, and the money of the bandits in the castle." So he's coming to sabotage! Defoe said angrily.
Several regiment commanders frowned after hearing this, apparently they also had self-awareness. Knowing that the reputation of the mercenary group is not very good, maybe something like this will really happen. It's just that they don't know who it is, so they don't dare to speak, for fear of becoming the object of suspicion.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Di Fu became more and more sure of his guess in his heart, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Damn, it must be like this, we have to find out that thing that eats inside and out!" "
"Oh, how are you going to find it?" A regiment leader said slightly helplessly.
"Hand over all your magicians, I'll ask them one by one," Defoe said proudly.
