The impact of many things is like burned skin. When you see the damaged skin on the surface, you will say "It's really tragic", but you don't know that the flesh and blood underneath is also seriously injured.
Ren has heard a lot about the Road to the Blazing Sun, how countries are in a state of distress and how conflicts occur frequently, but after observing it up close, he has new feelings.
He picked up the soldier and said, "Take me to see your king."
The soldier heard what the mad woman said before, and now he thought that the armored monster was really going to kill the king. He was so frightened that his legs became weak and he couldn't walk even after saying anything.
In fact, Ren didn't need him, but he didn't want to reveal his identity just yet, so he blocked the soldier's mouth again, grabbed him and ran towards the palace.
Perhaps because of the disappearance of the soldiers, the city's alert level has been raised to a higher level, and soldiers patrol the streets more frequently. They no longer enter houses to question and search, and small teams are stationed at various key intersections.
It has little impact on Ren, but it has a huge impact on other people.
On the way to the palace, Ren suddenly discovered a group of sneaky people hiding in an alley. Six or seven people were nervously hiding in the back. One person watched the situation on the street for a while at the entrance of the alley, and ran away soon after.
Go in.
"The patrols are becoming more and more strict, and a group of people will come over every two minutes."
"Could we have been exposed?"
"Then they probably don't know where we are now, otherwise they would have come here long ago."
"But we can't get close to the palace at all."
"Why don't you go back first and think about it later?"
"How to take the long term? How long do you think we can hold on? I told you before we set off that today is our last chance. Either we succeed or we die, there is no option to go back."
"Don't make any noise. I have an idea. Let's grab a few soldiers, put on their clothes, and then find a way to get close to the palace."
"Desai's suggestion is good, you can try it."
The others didn't have any objections. They discussed the action plan and decided that it was OK. Just as they were about to start implementing it, a soldier in armor was thrown in front of them.
Everyone stepped back in shock, only to find that the soldier's mouth was gagged.
At the same time, another figure wearing armor appeared in front of them.
"Helmet..." Someone wanted to exclaim, but was immediately covered by his companion.
The person who made the suggestion before was probably named Desai. He looked at Renn cautiously. He suppressed everyone and took two steps back: "Armored weirdo? Why are you here?"
Ren looked at this group of people. Their condition didn't seem to be very good. Almost everyone had some injuries on their bodies. They were not particularly serious but could not be said to be insignificant.
"Are you the Goat Party?"
Everyone was silent. They couldn't figure out the reason why the armored weirdo was here, and they didn't want to reveal too much.
However, Ren didn't need their answer. These people were undoubtedly goat gangs, and the injuries on their bodies were probably from the last assassination operation.
"That should be correct. Which of you is Bant?"
Someone's expression suddenly changed, but still no one spoke.
Renn looked at the man whose expression changed slightly: "Are you Bant?"
Being stared at by the armored monster, the opponent was under great pressure and his body was tense, but Desai stood up and said, "Bant is not here with us."
"Then where is he now?"
Not to be outdone, the other party said: "Where did you know about him and why did you ask him?!"
"That means you do know Bant, and you are indeed a member of the Goat Party."
"This has nothing to do with you."
Ren chuckled: "It still has something to do with it. I heard you said that you wanted to disguise yourself as a soldier and sneak around the kingdom, but unfortunately~"
He pointed at the soldiers on the ground: "Because I kidnapped a person, the security of the entire city is now infinitely higher. Even if you succeed in the sneak attack, it will be difficult to put on their armor, because there are permanent squads at every key intersection. You
It’s impossible to muddle through.”
Everyone's faces suddenly became extremely ugly when they heard this: "It turns out it's because of you."
Only Desai calmed down a little. He was thinking about the reasons why the armored monster captured the soldiers and inquired about Bant's whereabouts.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"Just tell me where Bant is."
Desai hesitated for a moment, thinking that this assassination operation had most likely failed, and they would not be able to wait for a new opportunity, so they might as well die knowingly.
"Bant is dead."
"Dead? Why, he was seriously injured in the last assassination?"
Since those soldiers found the mad woman's house and asked about Bant's whereabouts, the two people who died in the last attack must not include Bant, which means that he died later.
Desai shook his head: "He committed suicide."
"For what reason?"
Desai hesitated again and did not speak for a while.
The others lowered their heads unconsciously, and Ren realized that something else must have happened.
"It wasn't you who killed him, was it?"
"How is that possible?" someone immediately retorted.
"If not, why do you all look so timid and don't dare to raise your head and speak when I ask?"
"..." No one spoke.
The more they behave like this, the more Ren thinks there is something wrong.
"Forget it." Desai finally sighed, probably to make himself feel better. He already knew that the assassination was hopeless and he was the first to confess the reason to Ren.
They were not the only ones in the Goat Party, at least not a day ago.
After the last assassination failed, there were still more than 20 people in their organization. They hid for several days and finally fled outside the city and hid in a farmhouse.
Almost everyone was injured, tired and hungry.
In addition to the failure of the assassination, everyone was pessimistic. Some people suggested that they should return to the city and fight while they still had the last bit of strength.
But there are also those who feel that they shouldn’t just give up and want to straighten things out and continue working.
While they were discussing, the people who had gone out to watch nearby came back and brought a lot of food. They said that the people nearby knew that they were members of the Goat Party and wanted to kill Taxis, so they forced it on them.
When everyone heard this, their blood immediately surged.
"Look, everyone is supporting us, we shouldn't give up like this!"
"That's right, eat something, heal your injuries, and then go back to take revenge. You can't let them down!"
After everyone finished eating, they had something in their stomachs and their moods became high.
But one person is different.
Bant originally belonged to the staunch revenge faction. When everyone was disappointed just now, he was one of the people who said they would continue to fight.
But now that everyone's mood has stabilized, he is thinking more about it.
Because his wife has always opposed him joining the Goat Party, she wants to muddle along as long as she can survive.
Bant knew very well that there were many people like his wife, and it should be said that most people were like this. Otherwise, how could their Goat Party only have these twenty people?
What's more, with the current tax levy in the kingdom, which farmer would give so much food to these traitors?
So by saying that he was going on patrol, Bant was going to check out the situation.
