Chapter 834 Killer Partner

"Is this thing called a sound transmission array?"

"Well, it was an accidental invention by a low-level magician more than a hundred years ago... Ordinary people are separated from each other and usually use letters to communicate. Magicians also use letters, but they are magic letters, which use special words that can store sounds. Letters made of materials. The low-level magician found it inconvenient and wanted to invent a special letter that could make instant calls, and finally came up with this sound transmission circle..."

"Isn't that just a phone call?"

"Electricity, telephone? What is that?"

He touched his nose and said, "Oh, it's nothing. Just keep talking."

"That's about it. This is a relatively unpopular magic invention. Although it seems convenient, there are actually many constraints. The biggest flaw is the distance. When the distance is long...well, about three to five miles, the sound cannot be transmitted. Therefore, if you want to achieve long-distance calls, you must arrange sound transmission arrays several miles apart for relay. But in this case, the cost will be very high, and the gain will not be worth the loss!"

"I understand, it's just that the signal can't cover it."

"The signal... said something I couldn't understand again..."

"Uh...hehe..."

…

Since coming out of Shanhai City, the team has been under surveillance, mostly assassins snooping for opportunities, and Tang En and the others didn't pay attention. As long as they don't get too close, they will treat each other as if they don't exist. If you step into the cordon, David and the others will take care of it.

However, after entering the city of Pia, David and the others accidentally discovered that a group of people with obvious military style appeared among the monitors, like scouts, and they became interested. After some investigation, he finally found traces of the other party in the house opposite the hotel where he lived, and captured him in one fell swoop. Well, I caught a big fish...

"Boss, he is a scout of the Tiger Roaring Legion." David, who pushed open the door and walked in with the sinister aura of torture and extortion of confessions, said directly. "The opponent's general is called Buleta. He is outside the city now and he is coming for us. He didn't ask any specific questions, eh. These people are very tough-talking. They are worthy of being the elites in the army. They asked so many questions to force a confession. ." He mentioned it briefly, with some undisguised appreciation in his expression. People who are not afraid of death should get the respect they deserve.

However, compared to David's indifferent attitude, Victor looked extremely ugly when he heard this. He looked at Joshua and said anxiously: "Chief, I will arrange for you to move out of the city now!"

Shaking his head, Josiah said calmly: "You can't run far in a quarter of an hour."

"There are still our soldiers in the city. Staying in the city and guarding it, we will delay the transfer time for the leader. Please believe us, we must transfer now!" Victor took a few steps forward and said with an eager expression. Then he looked at Josiah frowning and thinking. Without any intention of shifting, he immediately turned his attention to Tang En again...

Waving his hand, Tang En touched his chin and said: "I don't agree to transfer out of the city either... Calm down, brother Victor, listen to me. Although I don't understand military strategy, judging from the news I just heard, the other party We have made a lot of preparations to deal with us. There is no reason to reach the last step and be unable to capture this small town with not many troops... By then, being surrounded in the unobstructed wilderness will be the real Jedi, right?"

"But, but..." After opening his mouth, Victor glanced at Josiah, lowered his head and sighed. "Then what should we do?"

"Brother Frey, well, General Frey and the others should be able to realize the other party's purpose soon. Maybe reinforcements are on the way now. So until then, we continue to stay in the city. The terrain here is better than in the wild. It’s much more complicated. If we don’t have any luck, we can just hide in a corner. The other party will have to work hard to find us... That’s all I can think of. Brother Victor, you are an expert in war. Face this situation and know how to deal with it. There should be more than me, everything depends on you. Oh, by the way, Josiah will follow my actions later. You know, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that she feels safer around me.”

"Okay, then it's settled!" Victor can serve as the commander of Josiah's personal guards, so he is certainly not a coward. After holding it in for so many days with nothing to do, I could no longer contain the fighting spirit in my heart. Now that I heard Tang En personally admitting his ability, my heart instantly ignited with great ambition. I suddenly felt my face increased, and my self-esteem as a genuine guard also returned... After looking at Joshua, who didn't object, he immediately clapped his hands and said decisively, "I'm going to gather the soldiers in the city now. We have no one in gray to be afraid of in street fighting! The leader's safety..."

After a pause, Victor walked up to Tang En and suddenly bowed and saluted, "Mr. Tang En! I'm sorry, I have known your identity for a long time, and I am only paying you respects now. No matter what other people say, I am here anyway. I will obey you! The safety of the leader will be left to you, sir, please!" After saying this, he bowed deeply.

"Uh... We are all our own people, so we don't need so many courtesy." Upon seeing this, Tang En quickly helped Victor up, but the latter did not insist. He stood up, nodded solemnly, and strode out the door.

"Wait a minute..." Josiah stretched out his hand to stop him. "When summoning the soldiers, we will inform all citizens in the city to tell them to stay at home and close the doors and windows. No matter what noise they hear later, they must not go out."

"yes!"

Seeing Victor disappearing through the door with his head held high and all the guards, Josiah turned his head and looked at Tang En with a half-smile: "You are quite inspiring. Do you want me to give it to you in the propaganda department?" Looking for a job, Lord Tang En?"

"Haha, a flash of inspiration, just a flash of inspiration." Tang En said with a playful smile as he touched his nose. The conversation just now did have an element of performance in it. It is true that he is not good at commanding strategies, but he is definitely a professional-level expert in escaping. The reason why I said that just now is actually to find a reason to drive away Victor and others, so that their target will be much smaller.

Of course, this is not considered deception. In fact, it is for the sake of Victor and others. Josiah is now a fixed target, and anyone around her is in great danger. Although Victor and others may not care about it themselves, this is also a job they are willing to do, just like how they risked their lives to block the incoming arrows in Shanhai City. But from the perspective of Tang En and Joshua, it would be best to have fewer dead people...

"Okay, let's talk about your escape plan." Joshua didn't dwell on it, and asked seriously after making a joke.

"Two plans." Tang En made a V-shaped gesture and said easily, "The first one is very simple. Just find someone in the city with a similar figure to you, make her disappear, and then I will be responsible for disguising you as her. It looks like. Well, although this small town is not big, it has a total population of more than 100,000. I don’t say whether the other party will check them one by one. Even if they want to do this, they don’t have enough time to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. How about ?”

"This method...well, it's really simple!" Josiah was stunned when he heard this. He also didn't expect that such a large army attacking the city could be avoided with such a simple method. It’s so good and powerful!

"Of course, I don't even look at who the person standing in front of you is. He is a professional who has escaped across the north and south poles of the continent! Hmph, do you want to think about it?"

After thinking about it, Joshua shook his head: "Let me hear the second option first."

"I knew it would be like this. Sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss for your kind-heartedness!" He nodded at Joshua's smooth forehead. Although he didn't say it clearly, Tang En already knew that she rejected this plan.

With Tang En's level of disguise, if Josiah really blends in among the thousands of citizens in the city, he will never be able to find him in a short time. But in this case, it is hard to say what choice the other party will make... Well, judging from the more than a thousand people blocked in the canyon, judging from the lower limit of the other party's integrity, it is not impossible to massacre the city and find someone in a rage... …

"The second option is a bit troublesome and requires a small risk, but I actually like it quite a bit... Do you remember the person I just talked to? Damn it, how dare you call yourself a bad guy in front of me, that's so arrogant. , If I don’t kill him, I will be sorry for my reputation as a top killer!”

First, he made an indignant accusation, and then turned around. Tang En suddenly bent down and stretched out his hands, acting extremely elegantly, "Well, beautiful lady, oh, beautiful lady. No matter what lies ahead is crisis or danger, whether it is an abyss or darkness. Hell, are you willing to send him to see the God of Light with me?"

"Haha..." He couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, then bit his lip and took a breath. Josiah's expression became serious, with some kind of ritual sanctity on his solemn and solemn face. He raised his hand and put it into Tang En's palm. in, "I do!"

"Okay, in the name of angels, demons, or any god, I declare that you and I have officially become killer partners. Now, I can kiss you."

"Why?"
