Chapter 17 Conspiracy in progress
Chapter 17: The conspiracy is in progress
First of all, if you don’t hand over, it will obviously not work, as it will expose the existence of Fang Qingshu and others. Under the current circumstances, Fang Qingshu is unwilling to confront Cthun head-on. His original plan was to surround the city in the countryside. He first controlled the various kogman bases, and then had room for movement, and then slowly spent time with Cthun to fight guerrilla warfare.
Now Fang Qingshu and the others have controlled such a little bit of land. If Csun brings people to kill, he will not even have room for maneuver. Once discovered, he will have to work hard. In that case, even if he wins, he will definitely be killed, which is not worth it.
But it is also risky to hand over these things. After all, Fang Qingshu and his friends have a shallow foundation, so he cannot guarantee that all the kowtowers are loyal to him. If a kowtower who gave something shouted loudly when he got to the devil, it would be all over.
Fortunately, the settlements occupied by Fang Qingshu and the others were all far away from Csun's nest. You don't have to send things all the way to the settlements close to the castle. They can send them directly to the castle or use them on the spot. In this way, Fang Qingshu and the others only need to be careful, and the problem is not very big.
After some careful consideration, Fang Qingshu handed over the matter to Jiang Ruoqin for handling, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Comrade Edward also encountered the same trouble as Fang Qingshu, so he was not so stupid that he immediately started a war with Cthun for this little thing. So he also wisely chose to hand in his confession. However, Edward, the poor child, far underestimated the insidiousness of some comrades.
When Edward carefully selected dozens of kowtowers and sent their things to the nearby settlement, one of the kowtowers suddenly screamed like crazy: "They are traitors, they are traitors~ Oh!" The guy just screamed twice, and was knocked to the ground by his companion behind him with a wooden stick.
Unfortunately, everything was too late. Since there were important materials to be delivered, the demon in charge of the settlement affairs was also present, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. How could this obvious way of killing people and silence him?
"What's going on?" the devil shouted angrily at the murderers: "Why kill people?"
"Sir, he's crazy~" a dog-headed man said with a bold heart.
"Fuck, I see you're crazy!" The devil reached out and grabbed the dog-headed man in front of him, then grinned and said, "Let me see what your brain is?"
As he said that, a red light suddenly appeared in the devil's eyes and shot straight into the eyes of the devil. This is an evil spell used by the devil to read memories, regardless of success or failure. This devil will definitely turn into an idiot in great pain.
The pain of forcibly reading memories made the kobold struggle constantly, but unfortunately his weak power could not be compared with the demon, and soon his body stopped shaking.
Through his eyes, the demon saw the scene of his fellow land being killed by a group of strange people, and he understood everything afterwards. The tragic death of his comrades made the demon feel extremely angry. He then threw the dog-headed man to the ground fiercely. The dog-headed man's thin body almost turned into meat sauce on the spot, and was smashed to pieces by the huge impact.
But the demon was still not satisfied. He pointed at the remaining kobolds and roared: "You bunch of gangsters dare to betray us. Hang them all up and peel them all!"
"Roar!" The devil's lackeys immediately shouted and rushed up, catching all the helpless kobolds.
Then the demon also felt that the matter was serious, so he simply cast a spell and summoned a bat with his blood, allowing it to go back and repay the message to Cthun.
Everything that happened here was faithfully teleported to Edward by the eavesdropping device and pocket camera carried by the kobold. He was surrounded by Kuchen, Nokran, Sora Aoi and others.
"Fuck!" Edward was so angry that he sweared on the spot, and said angrily: "Who chose that damn bastard? How could he be so irresponsible?" The dozens of kowtowers who were delivered this time were selected by four teams from the kowtowers they controlled. They all demanded absolute loyalty, but this situation occurred. Obviously Edward is now holding him accountable.
But Nokran's faint words directly turned Edward into a wilted eggplant, "It seems that he is recommended by your army!"
"Oh~!" Edward was choked and his face turned red. He couldn't speak for a long time.
"Okay, now is not the time for us to hold people accountable." Sora Aoi rescued Edward at this time: "Let's think about what to do next! Since Cthun knew that our existence and that we killed him and occupied his place, we were afraid that the army would be sent soon."
"Yes, we must first consider how to get through the current problems!" Nockland also said.
Edward looked at Sora Aoi gratefully first, and then said solemnly: "There is no choice but to retreat temporarily."
"What should we do if the places we occupy? What should we do if those kowtowers?" Sora Aoi said worriedly.
"We can still take back the territory in the future. As for the dog-headed people, I can only let them be blessed!" Edward said helplessly: "Our current strength is not enough to compete with Cthun's legion."
"But if we abandon the kowtowers this time, they will definitely be retaliated by Cthun's subordinates. I am afraid that even if we win in the future, these kowtowers will no longer have a good face to us!" Nockland said with a frown.
"There is no way to do this. We can't afford to pay our lives to protect the kobold?" Edward said helplessly.
"Is there no other way?" Sora Aoi asked.
"Another way?" Edward frowned and smiled bitterly: "Maybe he can think of it after finding Fang Qingshu, but I can't think of it!"
"Where are they hiding this damn Fang Qingshu?" Sora Aoi cursed hatefully: "I jumped out when I grabbed people, but when I needed their help, I couldn't find them. What a bastard!"
"No matter what, we must contact them as soon as possible. With them here, it will be much easier for us to deal with the demon's attacks." Edward then asked Sora Aoi: "Now is not the time to fight, have you really found all the places you meet with him?"
"Of course, I'm not stupid? How could I still fight at this time?" Sora Aoi said dissatisfiedly: "My people have searched all the kowtowers' settlements within a radius of 200 miles there, without any abnormalities! They shouldn't have started to act yet, right?"
What Sora Aoi didn't know was that Fang Qingshu chose to take action in the settlement, four or five hundred miles away from the place where they met.
"Impossible!" Edward immediately retorted: "Fang Qingshu inherited the fighting spirit of Kong Ming. Such a master would not teach a fool's apprentice. In fact, we all know Fang Qingshu's shrewdness and ability. In addition, the resources in his hands are no worse than ours, I don't believe that he has not occupied a settlement until now."
"Can he occupy it like us, just from the outermost settlement?" Ku Chen, who had been silent, suddenly reminded.
"It's reasonable!" Edward's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "It must be like this. Host of Aoi, your ninja is fast and good at sneaking. Can you send two people to search for the traces of Fang Qingshu and others along the periphery?"
"Yes." Sora Aoi nodded and agreed, "But, so what if you find it, I'm afraid that Fang Qingshu, the treacherous guy, will not come to help us easily."
"Haha!" Edward laughed and said, "Don't worry, the more he is, the more he will come to help us!"
"Yeah?" Sora Aoi showed a puzzled look.
Nokran then smiled and explained, "If he doesn't come, then we will go find them! I think Mr. Fang will definitely not want us to bring Cthun's army over."
"Ha, I understand!" Sora Aoi suddenly realized: "If Fang Qingshu doesn't know the truth, we will take the demon army to his territory and make him feel at ease!"
"Haha!" The four guys then laughed treacherously.
Then, Edward said solemnly: "However, this is just the worst plan. Not to mention that Fang Qingshu has not been found yet, even if he finds it, maybe he has some secret tricks to deal with us. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, we should not provoke him easily. Now we can only rely on ourselves."
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded.
"Then, the most important thing we have now is to install pocket cameras on all the traffic routes leading to Cthun Castle. In short, you must find out in advance what kind of gift Cthun gave us. Then make plans!" Edward ordered.
"Well, if Cthun sends fewer people, we can handle it ourselves!" Sora Aoi nodded and said.
"It's a pity that this is not very likely!" Edward said helplessly. The others also looked sad. Then everyone encouraged each other and then dispersed to deal with the battle.
However, no one, whether it is the demon or Edward, could see anything from this seemingly normal incident. For example, the golden light that flew out of his mind after his death.
That's right, that's Fang Qingshu's golden silkworm Gu. In fact, since Fang Qingshu learned the specific location of Edward and others, he had already planned to use these guys, but he had never had a chance. This time, Fang Qingshu naturally refused to let go of the opportunity to offer sacrifices to Csun.
