Chapter 330: The Hidden Conspiracy (Part II)

Grush received a tent from Krylov III that could be camped in the mercenary camp behind the barracks.

The location of the royal army camp is behind the hillside, which can effectively block the detection of the place, and because the weeds on the hillside have long been cleared, patrols and scouts are also arranged, so you can basically not worry about the sudden attack of the enemy.

Behind the hillside opposite the barracks, until the city in the distance was a flat land, and the road was far away, it was not inappropriate to use it as a battlefield, but that city could only be used as a 'defense', not to mention the speed of the cavalry charge, it was simply wishful thinking to raid the barracks behind the hillside, because the flat land in front of the city was too big!

The rear of the royal army naturally has a logistics channel, although now the royal army is like a single knife straight in, inserted between several territories, intending to take the Elfaro territory directly, but they do not need to worry about the safety of the rear, because several territories on both sides have been attacked by the nobles of the royal faction, and the lords who are too busy to take care of themselves cannot effectively attack the royal army.

Perhaps they could harass the logistical supply lines, but Krylov III and General Aroela had already laid out several military strongholds on the supply lines, which were enough to ensure the stability and security of the supply lines.

They also had to do it as a last resort, because now the royal family and the local nobles are fighting each other, and if they don't dare to kill the leader of the other party, then this war will never end.

If the royal army helps the royal nobles to clean up the local nobles, and the Marquis of Elfaro can also help the local nobles to clean up the royal nobles, in the end, the nobles from the north and south will still meet on the battlefield, which is not good for the royal faction, because the royal family's intention touches the interests of the nobles, and many nobles have been 'forcibly deposed', and their families are under the control of the Marquis of Elfaro, so there are more nobles who support the Marquis of Elfaro.

Rather than falling into a disadvantage in the end, it is better to go straight in, with the help of the power of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, attack it by surprise, turn into a sharp sword and insert it into the heart of the local faction, and take the Elfaro Collar directly!

On the front line, the barracks are generally at the front, and the mercenary camps are generally not merged with the barracks, but will become another camp in the rear alone.

This is also a variety of considerations, first, in order to prevent the mercenaries from collapsing immediately after engaging the enemy and affecting the morale of their own soldiers, and second, even if their own side is attacked and defeated, they can also rely on the barracks to resist for a period of time, taking advantage of this time, the soldiers will retreat to the mercenary camp, rest and prepare for the second battle, which can effectively consume the enemy's combat power, after all, the attack is always more difficult than the defense and it is easier to consume physical strength and energy.

If they can't, they can leave the mercenary camp behind again, but if they win, they can either take advantage of the victory and pursue it, or they can retake their camp and recuperate before attacking the enemy again.

As for the possibility that the mercenaries might hinder the army when retreating, there is no need to consider it, because they have enough reason to believe that these 'war hyenas' will be more arrogant than anyone else when they have an advantage, and will run faster than anyone else when they are at a disadvantage.

Grush camped down at the edge of the mercenary camp with difficulty, because he didn't know how to set up tents, and the mercenaries wouldn't rush to him, obviously because he was a little weak-hearted, so he could only work alone, and in the end, his tent was still scattered, and it looked like it would fall when the wind blew, but this was the best thing Grush had done in his few hours of trying - at least not to collapse naturally.

The paladins didn't have much to ask for living conditions, as long as they could give them a good rest, and Grush was naturally the same.

In the past few months, he has understood how pampered he was before, although he usually does not complain about being tired during training, but every time he can enjoy food and have a good living environment, compared to these months, his previous life is really good.

He can only sleep in the open for a few months, and he will not have too much money on him, and if he doesn't have so much money to live in a hotel, he can only borrow from some people's houses, if he really can't do it, he can only find a random place to sleep, and even food is not available for every meal, especially in the previous two or three months, he will basically be hungry every day.

However, such days also tempered his tenacious will, so that he did not lose his mind under the 'artifact' or the 'gift of the god of justice'.

He is still too weak, compared to those 'legends' who have grown up on their own strength, he is too weak, so he may become a 'puppet of power', and he is almost lost in 'pure justice'.

After realizing the problem, he spent all this time honing his will, just as he refused to give up thinking and searching for clues after he found a few bones under the ashes of that village.

In these ten days, he honed his will, stabilized his will, and stopped wandering in place and walked towards the path he had originally chosen.

In addition to this, he also found the 'Devil's Trail'!

Heaven did not deny his efforts, and his efforts were not in vain - he found the 'devil's trail' six days ago, and at first he couldn't confirm it, but then he found out that the 'guys' who had to do something evil even if they were not murderers were very strong, and the traces he found on those bones basically confirmed that those guys were 'devils'.

With the chaotic nature of the demons, they must not be able to do this kind of uniform action.

Chaos is their nature, destruction is their instinct, and evil is their code - this is the devil!

Although there are demons and demons in this world who are inspired by the Light to fight for 'justice', most of the time, people are not afraid to speculate on the actions and thoughts of demons and demons with the greatest malice.

'They' were hidden, because Grush had only found their tracks, not directly traced them, but he was sure that the 'devils' hadn't left.

The bones had the smell of the 'devil' - in fact, the 'smell of sulphur', which Grush could smell though it was faint.

There are no volcanoes in the kingdom of Kolo, and Grush knows that the 'fire magic' of the mages does not smell of sulfur.

When he returned to the village to confirm, he also smelled the 'sulphur smell' in many parts of the village.

Although I didn't see the real identity of the murderers, from these points, the murderers who slaughtered that village must be the 'devil'.

Chances are, the demons who slaughtered the village are still hiding in the kingdom of Kolo, and there is a good chance that they will commit 'evil things' again, so Grush must stop them.

Now his priority is to find the 'damned murderers' as soon as possible, avenge the innocent villagers, and prevent them from committing even greater sins, so that he can be in a position to talk to Krylov III about the 'truce'.

Even if he is now a legendary paladin, in front of King Krylov III, he is 'a man of small words'.

Because of this war for the authority of the kingdom, it is not easy to persuade Krylov III and the enemy to let go, and it can even be said that the success rate is almost zero.

Now that both sides have become angry, the hatred has not subsided after a winter of brewing, but has even become more vigorous.

Grush had regained the right to think, so he thought it was wishful thinking that he could stop the war alone.

Both sides have lost so many people and lost so many that if they are allowed to end the war at this time, then both sides will have nothing to gain, and they will not be reconciled, so this war can hardly be stopped......

But Grush still had to try, and even if he was likely to die – it was meaningless – he would still try to get the war to stop!

Because, there are so many people who have died......
