Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

One month after the full-scale war began, Hill was called to the Shark Tooth Camp by Rune again. Now the Shark Tooth Camp has become the core area of ​​the southeast of Beloberg.

Commands for all nearby troops are issued here, whether it is the dispatch of soldiers or the response to enemy attacks.

"What's the situation on the front line?" Rune looked up and asked Hill who was rushing over.

Hill didn't even have time to rest for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The situation on the front line is getting increasingly tense. On my side alone, I have encountered a powerful counterattack from Tadeusz. Last time, he even led an army of more than a thousand people to launch a sneak attack on me at night, using large-scale invisibility techniques and some means of concealing his presence."

"If I hadn't taken precautions and carved a reconnaissance formation several thousand meters away from the camp, I'm afraid I would have fallen into his trap. I can only say that these guys have gone completely crazy."

Rune said calmly: "These things are not beyond my expectations. After all, they didn't gain any advantage in the previous rounds. Seeing their soldiers decreasing in number, it is understandable that they are getting anxious."

"So at this time we need to hold our positions firmly. As long as our positions in the southeast are not defeated, the Vasek family in the west will be able to form a pincer attack with us. Their days will not be easy. As long as we hold on for a while, it will be easy later."

"Well, the soldiers also understand this, so no one should relax at all." Hill said, "We have done a very good job in both the construction of fortifications and the support of combat logistics. We are ready for a protracted war. I just don't know why you called me here at this time, Colonel Rune. If there is any news, just pass it directly to the front line."

Having said that, he looked up at Rune, seeming a little confused.

In fact, it’s not his fault. After all, the front line is so tense and the war is so busy that there is no need for him to come here in person.

"No hurry." Rune motioned for Hill to sit down next to him, and brought over a cup of tea. "This tea is shipped from a mysterious country in the East. Most people don't have this luxury. Try it."

Although Hill was puzzled by Rune's words, he did not dare to disobey Rune's orders and had to sit beside him and taste the freshly brewed tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Hill's eyes lit up.

Although these teas are brewed with hot water, they do give a cool feeling in the stomach. In addition to having a refreshing effect on the brain, they can also calm the mind. The anxious feeling caused by rushing on the road just now has completely disappeared at this moment.

"Are you feeling better now?" Lu En said with a smile, "Now let's get down to business. I called you here for a reason."

As he spoke, Rune pushed a military token in front of Hill and said, "Since I recruited Carlos's troops 20 days ago, plus the personal soldiers I brought from the Vasek family, I now have more than 5 soldiers under my command. I have also reorganized the organization based on this. You also know these things."

"This army of nearly 5 people is now under my control and they all obey my orders. This military token has been engraved on the Vasek family and can control 2 troops. Now I will hand over this 2-man army to you for command."

"An army of 2 people." Hill's voice trembled as he looked at the military token that Rune pushed over.

Even with Rune's signal, he didn't even dare to touch the military token.

You have to know that his current military rank is only a major. If such important military power can be handed over to him, it can be said to be an extreme trust in him.

But if Hill dared to touch this military token in the slightest, it would undoubtedly be an usurpation of power.

"Colonel Rune, this is absolutely not allowed! If you let me lead an army of 2 to people, I am confident that I can control them, but I cannot take over the power of troops."

Hill looked a little terrified.

"I'm sure you understand that, in addition to my lack of command and strength, it's hard for me to convince the people to control 2 soldiers, which can easily lead to a series of problems. There are many eyes watching us now. Once I take over the military order, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

"It is conceivable that the disobedience of the soldiers below, the provocations from other forces, and the hidden obstacles will all follow one after another."

Hearing Hill's refusal, Rune showed an expression that said, "As expected."

In fact, Rune had the same feeling when the Vasek family gave him 2 soldiers.

Once you gain control of power and reach a certain level, you will undoubtedly be watched by countless eyes and will be dragged down if you are not careful.

Assuming that strength, status and power do not match, there will always be some price to pay as a substitute.

But unlike himself, Rune doesn't care about these things.

But Hill felt that he could not match the power of these 20,000 troops, so he postponed the move now.

But the problem Rune is facing now is that he has no one available under his command. Apart from Hill and Carter Jr., he can't think of anyone else he trusts more.

Moreover, in Rune's opinion, Hill, as a child of a noble family, did not have those bad habits. Instead, he was practical and capable, sincere and studious, and loyal to him. It was an extremely correct decision to hand over these 20,000 people to him. If he was not afraid that the other party would find it difficult to accept, he even wanted to give Hill more military power.

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to accept the military token, Rune felt helpless and threw the military token directly at Hill's feet, "You are hesitating like a woman. I will give it to you. Who dares to point fingers and say anything when I give it to you."

"If anyone dares to say anything gossipy, you have 2 troops under your command, why don't you just destroy him? You don't have the demeanor of a general at all. In the future, I will definitely have more than 5 troops under my command. If you can't even lead people, how can you keep up with me?"

Rune's words made Hill silent for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he carefully picked up the military token in front of him, put it in his arms and said, "Colonel Rune, I will not hold you back, and will live up to your expectations!"

After getting the military token, Hill became obviously more confident, and there was a gleam in his eyes, as if he had figured something out.

Seeing his condition, Rune nodded slightly. This guy at least has confidence, which is indeed the first step forward.

If a person loses self-confidence, he is doomed to achieve nothing.

"Now that you have the military token, you will have to make your own arrangements. I will give you all the information I have. After that, you, Little Carter, and Lisa will jointly command 6 troops to stabilize the situation in the southeast. I believe you can do it."

"Understood." At this moment, Hill also knew that he didn't need to say any more assurances. He just needed to do his best to repay Rune's trust. However, after hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Colonel Rune, you have handed over the military power to the three of us, so what are you..."

Lu En did not hide his own affairs. He said, "The situation I am facing now is also quite complicated. Right now, being in the open is the most dangerous thing for me. I don't know how many assassins the old lord has targeted me. If I stay here and do nothing, it will undoubtedly increase the risk for myself."

"I need to hide in the dark and switch between offense and defense, so that I can prevent their back-up plan as much as possible. Besides, the Blood God Cult has also made some moves. I am a little worried about other people's investigations. I have to do this myself."

"So in the next period of time, I'll trouble you three to stabilize the battle line here for me. You must also make sure you survive. After you accept the military token, you will definitely be targeted by the old lord's assassins, so be careful."

After Hill understood Rune's plan, he nodded, made the final handover with Rune, then hurriedly left the barracks and began to dispatch the troops.

The same words were given to Little Carter and Lisa. Compared to Hill, the two Runes were more worried about them and said more.

Especially little Carter, she didn't want to control any army at all, she just wanted to stay by Rune's side to protect him,

However, they were rejected by the Rune Ants, who said that the more people there were, the bigger the target would be.

He also told little Carter that if he wanted to serve as his first mate, then controlling the army would inevitably become a compulsory course. Now is a very rare opportunity. If you want it to help him in the future, you cannot lack the current training.

Under Rune's persuasion, Carter Jr. reluctantly agreed to the plan.

At this point, all the military power in the southeast of Beloberg had been handed over to the three people he trusted most, and he himself just sneaked into the city of Beloberg quietly.

With the cover of the divine mask, he had no worries about being discovered when he infiltrated.

The city of Beloberg is now in a state of panic. The residents have long been moved to safe places by their respective forces. The originally bustling streets are now extremely quiet, with only occasional patrolling troops passing through the streets.

Rune sneaked into the Black Forest Bar quietly.

The Witch and Black Flame were not in the bar at the moment, so Rune found the bar's storage room as if he was familiar with the place, took out some grapefruit wine and drank it by himself.

Then he took out some air-dried beef and chewed it. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he found some sea water from the kitchen.

Then he took out a piece of octopus tentacle from his storage space.

This piece of octopus tentacle came from the Octopus Wizard. It has been nearly two months, but it is still fresh.

When he held the octopus tentacle, its tip was still wrapped around, as if greeting Rune, and he placed the tentacle into the sea water, like a swimming fish, returning to the embrace of the ocean.

Then, the tentacles grew at an extremely fast rate in the sea water, and a small octopus grew out again within a few minutes and floated to the water surface.

As time went by, the various organs of the little octopus gradually took shape, and eventually it swam happily in the water.

After a moment, it began to spin in the water, and then the octopus wizard appeared in front of Rune so magnificently.

"What kind of trick is this?" Rune was also a little curious when he saw the octopus wizard. He had never seen this kind of trick before. "Is it some kind of substitution technique?"

The octopus wizard snorted and waved the staff in his hand, denying Rune's question and said, "It's just a simple replacement!"

"You, Rune, I told you to contact me once you enter the city. Why did you let me stay in the city and not move even after being gone for so long? I have collected a lot of useful information!"

Once he started talking, the octopus wizard couldn't stop and said a lot of things.

Rune felt a headache after listening to this, but the other party didn't get to the point in the end.

"Stop, stop, stop talking, tell me some key information!" Lu En said, "For example, have the Blood God followers made any moves near the lord's mansion?"

"I know this!" The octopus wizard said this. The frequency of her legs moving became faster and she seemed very excited. "I sensed the aura of the Blood God Altar. I remember clearly that it was in Lord Beloberg's mansion!"

"As soon as that aura came out, I immediately locked onto their location."

"Before you brought me in and asked me to monitor them, I used witchcraft to deploy many spies to monitor them at all times!"

"Finally, I infiltrated layer by layer and found that they had set up an altar in the Lord's Mansion, which could teleport the Blood God's followers into Beloberg City silently!"

"As you know, part of Beloberg's defense formation is connected to the Empire. If a large number of Blood God followers enter Beloberg, the Empire will definitely find something unusual, so the lord can only use this method to send the followers in."

"But they didn't take precautions, which led to the leakage of the Blood God's aura. Although they quickly used the formation to cover up the aura of the Blood God's followers, I still captured it!"

"Are you saying that there is a teleportation array for the Blood God's followers in the lord's mansion?" Rune confirmed this again with the octopus wizard.

He knew that there was the aura of the Blood God in the lord's mansion, but he didn't expect that a teleportation array was set up so blatantly!

The octopus wizard nodded and said affirmatively: "There must be, I feel it!"

Rune narrowed his eyes. If he could get some relevant information about the teleportation array, it would be important evidence to prove that the lord was colluding with the Blood God.

"Besides this, is there any other information?" Rune continued to ask.

"Of course there are. For example, a group of gloomy assassins were sent out from the lord's mansion. I don't know where they are going, but I have written down their approximate routes and number of people. Take a look!"

As the wizard spoke, he took out several pages of white paper from his arms, on which were some simple drawings drawn in the style of a child.

Although the painting was very simple, the content was still clear and Rune was able to identify key locations such as the lord's mansion, the Vasek family, and the southeast of Beloberg.

From the above, the number of people sent by the old lord to each place can be fully confirmed, and the assassin with a dark breath mentioned by the octopus wizard must be the executioner.

Rune got these useful information from the wizard, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

He immediately took this information and headed to the Vasek family.

As for what happens next, I need to discuss with Nils before making a decision.

As for that, I will probably need to go to the old lord’s mansion myself.

That place is the key among the keys.
