55. Camouflage

In the next few days, bad news came one after another. Now even Earl Du Peng knew that the goods that were specifically plundered in his territory were not ordinary bandits, but a group of cavemen.

Damn it, when did the cavemen become so cunning!

In the count's heart, the cavemen were just a group of ridiculous beggars, plundering some food rations in remote countryside, but the information one after another told him that these damn thieves and robbers were much more wise than the evaluation he gave.

Just kidding, I don’t look at what the recent report stated what the large number of things that were looted were. First, a large number of gold mines disappeared during transportation (there is a gold mine in Feronte County). Behind it was the transport team between the two counties who were caught. It was not over yet. In the past two days, the bold thieves actually robbed the Count's granary. If the situation continued to develop, Count Du Peng felt that the other party would rob his treasure house one day.

I can't bear it, who can swallow this breath!

"Food buckets, all of them are a bunch of buckets!" Earl Du Peng felt that what he was holding onto was the desire to kill people now. What was the private soldiers and troops he had spent so much money to feed, and even a group of cavemen could not handle it? It was said that he still had the face to live in this world?

However, the useless officers in front of him were also helpless: "Sir, they dug tunnels directly from the underground. How could we defend themselves? By the time they discovered, they had already lost their homes and had only left a deep pit, but they were going to chase the cavemen underground..."

This is obviously nonsense.

Earl Du Peng is not a person who doesn't understand the truth. He also knows that searching for traces of crypts under the ground is like looking for a needle in a haystack. This is also the reason why the plunder of this weak race cannot be eradicated. However, the successive things that happened really broke the Count's perception, making him always feel that this matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

"How could those cavemen rob us so well every time? Could it be that you idiots were wrongly targeted?"

The group of officers who were scolded did not argue, looked at each other and made way. In front, a hole deep into the underground appeared alone in such a long-empty granary.

In this way, the Count himself had to admit that if it weren't for those dirty and damn creatures, no one could have quickly dug out such a tunnel and emptied a whole granary here.

"A granary such a large one has been emptied, can't you notice any movement in advance?" Although I admitted it in my heart, the simple anger was still not so easy to eliminate. The roaring voice of Count Du Peng was roaring, which made tons of fat on his face tremble: "I'm asking you, how late you realize that you have not found out that the granary was stolen. According to you, I think you don't know at all even if it was emptied two weeks ago!"

Of course, what the count said was an angry word, because the granary had to withdraw records every day, so he would rather have the answer. Who knew that the group of officers gave him an answer that made him even more collapsed.

I saw one of the military officials who were responsible for guarding the grain and sweated coldly on his forehead and said in a daze: "Then... that, Count, when we found that there was something wrong with the granary, it was because the other party lit the earthen cannon."

Earl Du Peng had some insight. He didn't need anyone to explain it to him. He also knew that this thing was a powerful weapon for the cavemen when they were robbing their houses. It had no effect on the solid city walls and stone castles, but it was miraculously effective in destroying the earthy buildings. He hurriedly asked, "What did they explode?"

I saw that the officer under the bloodshot eyes of the officer pressed his head lowered: "Sir, they... they didn't explode anything. I think they were deliberately luring us here."

"Come here..." The count murmured this sentence, and the expression on his face could no longer be described as ferocious. "Okay, okay, it's so amazing. These damn little beasts have urinated on my head - you guys are just watching me!?"

The count became more and more angry as he spoke. When he arrived, he almost blushed and shouted hysterically: "Why are you still being stunned here? Isn't it embarrassing enough? Even if I raise a group of pigs, I know how to humble. You damn idiots don't look for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will pull out the damn bastards alive!"

"But Lord Earl, they...the group of cavemen are underground..."

"I'll give you three days. If you can't catch the prisoner, I'll strip you alive!" Earl Du Peng stared out his eyes angrily. How dare those officers say anything again? They all lowered their heads and scattered like birds and beasts.

At this time, Sir Mavi walked in from the door. He glanced at the furious count and could only walk over with a tough bullet.

"How is it?" The count's anger couldn't drop for a while, and the tone of questioning was also tough.

"The missing guards were still not found, and only the transport vehicle was restored to its original place and was abandoned there."

"There is no trace of battle?" Earl Du Peng frowned.

"No." Sir Mavie replied affirmatively: "But I found the tunnels dug by the cavemen nearby. I sent someone to try to dig them. It was very deep, and the terrain below was complicated and there was no special direction."

Earl Du Peng heard Sir Mavie's answer and calmed down instead. He touched the three connected chins for a while before muttering: "I now have some doubts whether someone was deliberately targeting us. Could it be..."

At that moment, he thought of Lance, but almost the next second, he shook his head and denied it.

How could it be that useless playboy, and I have never heard of Caveman and Devil cooperating.

Earl Du Peng didn't know that this was actually the only time he was so close to the truth, but even if he could guess this, it would probably be useless, because what he would never have thought was that the reason why Lance could be so accurate that he would hit every hit and directly seize the earl's weakness was because his eyeliner was dormant at the close distance of the earl.

Sir Mavi raised his head and glanced at Earl Du Peng calmly, with many things in his eyes.

To be fair, Earl Du Peng treats him well and values ​​himself very much. However, unfortunately, this Earl really chose the wrong opponent. That young man is not a lamb who can be slaughtered, but a real hidden dragon.

Perhaps it was for Mingzhe's self-protection, or perhaps for the reward behind the risk, when he thought of the adult's promise to him, Sir Mawei's last feeling of unbearableness also disappeared.

Earl Du Peng did not notice the change in Mavie's heart. He just told him: "Continue to check, and let your people keep a close eye on Dongmen County to see if Akasa's trash is making trouble behind the scenes."

He still distrusts the baron who doesn't have much scheming, just because the other party is not a demon.

Sir Mavie bowed respectfully to the Count and retreated from the room.

Instead of greeting the guards guarding the door, he walked straight ahead and then plunged into the forest not far from the granary. He looked around, as if he was looking for something. After a while, he stopped under a dead tree painted with a special mark.

This is the code he agreed with the other party.

"Everything is in the control of the county magistrate, and the count has not yet doubted his head." Sir Mavie seemed to be talking to himself to himself, facing the deserted dead tree.

When he finished saying this, there was a rustling sound in the forest, as if something had alarmed. Then, everything returned to peace.

When Sir Mawei saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. On the one hand, he was quite helpless because of the other party's ability, and on the other hand, he was quite helpless. Earl Du Peng kept saying that he wanted to catch the other party, but the other party was clearly so close that the guards didn't even react at all, and they didn't know if this should be ironic.

However, Sir Mavie's sentimentality lasted for only a few seconds. He did not dare to stay in the forest for too long. Now is not the time for the count to expose his identity, and he still has the work he needs to do.

When he turned and left, a head poked out from the quiet bush.

This is a familiar face, and the childish boy has a pair of ochre horns on his forehead. It is not Victor who is, and the man who gradually emerges from the air around him is not unfamiliar with it. It is the young vampire noble Ravenkes.

Lavenkes spat and said dissatisfiedly: "Damn it, that slaying county magistrate actually forced me to drill into the cave of such a caveman. The goddess of night is on it. If the people of my family know about this, they will peel me off!"

"Is that so? I think it's quite exciting." The boy touched the mud on his face with his hands heartily and said with a smile.

These two people obviously knew each other a long time ago and were speechless: "You can laugh. If the county magistrate hadn't promised me that I could increase the number of times I entered the ruins every week, I wouldn't have come! Is it going to take such a hard time? I'd use my hidden magic and the authenticity of the caveman to do this kind of stealing thing, he would have thought about it!"

*Scenes magic is not a true disappearance, but a reduction in one's own sense of existence. It has similar effects to an illusion that is assimilated around it and the stealth skills of the thief profession.

Ravenkes is actually right. He and Victor are both experts at level B or above. Together, these two people have the help of this caveman digging tunnel. Even if they want to assassinate the fat pig called Count Du Peng, it will be easy.

But the boy obviously waved his hand happily: "Don't say that, Brother Lavenkes, Brother Lance said it--"

The good show is still coming!
