Chapter 236 Canteran
This is not the first time Groan has come to Cantland. He has followed Overleigh to come here many times. The most recent one I remember is probably in early autumn.
Facing the guards guarding the Cantland Gate for routine inspection, Groan familiarly showed the nameplate representing his identity, and after verification, a team of guards who had already received the notice came over soon, so they quickly entered the prosperous internal center of Cantland.
The streets of Cantland are as noisy as ever, and the failure of the front-line war has not affected the people here at all, or they have become accustomed to their current lives and will remain the same when they have not personally encountered the pain caused by the war.
Groan does not reject this kind of peace. Although as a soldier, most of the people in Cantland are ordinary people, and they are not soldiers, so he has no reason to make them like a soldier, and isn’t the responsibility of being a soldier to protect the lives of people in the territory?
Whenever they pass by the spacious and flat streets, the people around them will subconsciously hide on both sides of the road. After all, no one will foolishly block a cavalry team that looks sophisticated, especially this cavalry team is led by the Cantland City Guards.
Cantland is very big and the streets are well-connected, but Groan is not unfamiliar with it. It turned out that when he came to Cantland with Overled, Overled liked to take him around Cantland to appreciate the customs and customs here, so he remembered everything in Cantland.
Gradually, a trace of unnatural confusion and solemnity appeared on Groan's face.
Because he discovered something strange.
The direction they are heading is not the inner city of Cantland.
The so-called inner city is the center of Cantland. Generally speaking, the inner city is home to the wealthy and noble people of Cantland. As the people invited and received by Earl Heather, the place they went to correctly is the inner city, which is an unquestionable thing.
But why did the guards not lead them to the inner city?
So, he decided to ask the captain of the guard who led them forward.
"Why did we deviate from the direction of the inner city? Could it be that Lord Earl changed the place where we were received?"
He said this, with a hint of speculation in his heart.
Captain Guard is an ordinary middle-aged man with a cold expression, just like Xia Lan who is accompanying him, but that indifference is not at all in front of Xia Lan. Groan can question him loudly in front of the Captain Guard. But he will be careful when speaking in front of Xia Lan, which forms a sharp contrast. The gap between strength and status will indeed cause different treatments between people.
"I am just performing my duties, and I will not be able to answer other questions." The guard captain replied coldly as his face.
Old-fashioned and serious.
The guard captain formed this impression in Groan's mind in an instant.
He has seen many such people, so he is very clear about the personality of such people. If he continues to ask questions, he will only make things boring. Therefore, he particularly hates such people, although he knows that such people are generally excellent soldiers.
He was not worried about any accidents in Cantland, especially in Cantland where Count Heather was in charge. So he had to shut up and wait quietly for the "surprise" the guards would bring them next.
On the way they marched, they began to deviate from the center of the crowd, and the surrounding scenes changed from lively streets and alleys to empty and deserted dirt avenues. Groan saw it and knew about their purpose.
If nothing unexpected happens, they are heading to the barracks where soldiers stationed in the outer city of Cantland.
Weird? Why did they take them to the military camp?
After this question arose in his heart, Groan began to think carefully. When he glanced at Xia Lan, who was silent beside him, he seemed to have a sudden realization.
Is it him?
Indeed, a high-ranking peak powerhouse with unknown origin is already fearful. If he appears in the inner city with other intentions, the impact of the result will definitely be unimaginable.
But the military camp is different. At least the military camp can guarantee the threat of limiting one top-level strongman.
After thinking that he had figured out the connection, Groan's heart also relaxed and calmed down, just hoping that the other party would not feel any dissatisfied, otherwise the person who was bad at the first time would be himself.
a long time.
They appeared in front of the dark barracks. The guard captain stepped forward and said nothing to the soldiers guarding the barracks, so they were easily released.
The scenes in the military camp undoubtedly made people feel boring and simple. Apart from a black tent, there were military supplies everywhere, ranging from swords, guns, sticks, to drums and crossbows. Groan had seen so many scenes, and he had seen them even more exaggerated than the things in front of him. After a brief observation for a while, he lost interest.
Until they arrived at a campground surrounded by wooden fences and corners, they finally stopped moving forward.
There was a high viewing building next to the outer door of the camp, and two soldiers stood on the tower. One of the soldiers poked their heads out to look at Groan and others, with a cold face and a heavy guard in their eyes as if they were looking at an inexplicable enemy.
Through the gaps in the wooden fence, you can occasionally see the soldiers patrolling by, and the air is filled with a solemn smell. This shows that this should be a very important place in the military camp.
The captain of the guards who led them took on the communication matter again. Groan did not hear the conversation between the other party and the guards in the camp. Not long after, the captain of the guards returned to the queue and spoke to Groan: "I have completed my duties, and the next thing will be taken over by the people here."
After saying that, the captain of the guard took his men and left Groan and his group.
"It's really troublesome."
After Groan whispered, an officer at the camp gate came to their sight.
"Hello, here in Lower Stuhn, come to receive you according to the orders of Commander Dewit."
The officer stood in front of him with a straight back, with a solemn expression but a gentle tone.
"Hello, in Lower Groan."
After Groan nodded and greeted the other party, he thought about paying attention to the name of someone revealed in the other party's words for a while.
"You mean, is Commander Dewit now responsible for receiving us?"
"Yes, Commander Dewit has been waiting in there for a long time now." The officer said.
Unexpectedly, Count Heather would send Commander Dewit to the scene. It seemed that things were a little bad.
Groan thought to himself, but said, "I'm so troubled."
After saying that, Groan was about to follow the officer's guidance into the heavily guarded camp, but after taking a few steps, he felt something was wrong.
He turned his head and suddenly found that Xia Lan stood still motionless, looking like she had no intention of moving.
"Oh, let's go."
So, he reminded him softly.
Xia Lan did not answer, but simply shook her head.
"Your Excellency?!" Groan said uneasy with confusion on his face.
“I won’t go in.”
"Your Excellency, why is this?"
"Because there is a trap inside." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
