Chapter 75: Infiltration Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Lin did not stay idle that day; he never let himself forget about the Norman woman. If she wanted to escape and Lu Renyi could not handle her, then he would have to handle her himself, which was how Xiao Lin discovered that little detail.

Xiao Lin said, What relationship do you have with this man? You cant be siblings, since you dont look alike. Could you be lovers? Maybe hes your bodyguard? And you two developed feelings for each other? Ah, isnt this just a plot to a web-novel?

Gu Xiaoyue stared at him. Theres too many strange words there. I cant translate it.

You dont need to translate it, just tell her I will kill this man if she doesnt listen to me! Zhou Feng! Bring that man over here!

Xiao Lin told the bald man who was not far away, then pulled out his dagger. The sunlight that came into the entrance reflected on the blade as he put the tip of the blade against the hostages throat.

That was a moment of deja vu; he had used the same method on the woman to cause the Normans to surrender the day before, so he should probably have had his own suspicions from that time.

Gu Xiaoyue had already translated his words, and the Norman man was enraged after hearing that, shouting as he tried his hardest to rush toward Xiao Lin. Two students grabbed onto him, refusing to let go, but the sound of a tear could be heard during the intense struggle as he ripped apart the clothes that were binding his hands.

Motherf*cker! Zhou Feng saw that the situation was not good; he took out his long sword to slash at the mans leg. The man cried out in agony and fell to the floor. The wound was deep enough to see his bones, so even if his leg did not snap, he was basically crippled.

Everyone else was shocked, throughout the whole day of interrogations, the Normans were never so aggressive. The mans actions had also caused them to be more alert of the other Normans.

@#%%*! The Norman woman hurriedly said a few words.

She wants you to let him go. She changed her mind and agreed, Gu Xiaoyue translated.

Nothing wouldve happened if she just did that earlier. Xiao Let got Zhou Feng to drag the injured man inside. The mans mouth never stopped; no one needed any translations to know he was cursing away.

The woman took a deep breath and said a few words.

Gu Xiaoyue started to have a strange look on her face.

What happened? What is she saying?

She said she agreed, but she hopes you could give her a bit of respect and not do it in front of so many people Huh. Gu Xiaoyue did not continue as a rare blush could be seen on her white face.

Xiao Lin was incredulous, but Zhou Feng, Lu Renyi and the others had a look of realization. They patted his shoulder and said a few words while smiling before walking away with knowing looks.

Should I head back as well? Gu Xiaoyue started to turn away after a pause.

Huh? Everyone hold on! Xiao Lin finally reacted and called out to everyone, Are you all misunderstanding something? All I want is to ask her to help me locate the Thunder Kingdoms troops! Gu Xiaoyue, are you sure you translated everything correctly?

Gu Xiaoyue thought for a bit. I might have mispronounced some things, but I dont expect that the phrasing was warped too much.

After clearing the misunderstanding, the Norman woman seemed to be more agreeable. She had not even opened her mouth since she was captured, but she finally started to speak.

Who is the leader of the troops stationed in the border?

@#$

I dont understand. Why dont you just write it down? Yes, write down the names of all the officers for the different sized squadrons as well. Xiao Lin tore out a piece of paper and handed it over with a pen.

Where are the wolf cavalry and infantry squadrons located?

Are there any defense mechanisms near the army camp?

The questioning lasted until very late, and the woman seemed to be cooperative. She knew quite a lot, even things like how many archer towers and catapults were in the camp, and where the traps were. Every piece of information was given clearly.

Xiao Lin asked while quickly drawing a general map of the army camp. At the end of it, the map was almost complete, which caused Lu Renyi and the others to get excited. It looked like they would be easily completing the first optional goal.

However, the Norman woman stopped having anything to say after a while. Xiao Lin pointed at the map and raised his eyebrows, muttering, No, this isnt enough! I got a notification just now that the map was still only 60% complete, its still a little away from the 70% we need!

Bro, let me do the asking! Zhou Feng suggested.

The Norman woman saw how Zhou Feng treated the other captives the whole day, so she hastily added a few words, which Gu Xiaoyue translated as, She knows a lot, but she knows nothing about the medium squadron of wolf cavalry units.

Xiao Lin looked at the map in silence. The army camp was split into two parts; the front part is where the two infantry squadrons are stationed, and the wolf cavalry squadron is located at the back. The woman claims to be in decent relations with the troops, but she was never allowed into the wolf cavalry squadrons section every time she delivered alcohol.

The wolf cavalries were the key point of this army; according to the information they gained from interrogating the others, the two infantry squadrons only amounted to around two thousand people, and they did not have much combat prowess. The key to completing the investigation still lied in the wolf cavalry squadron.

It seems we really need to infiltrate them, Xiao Lin said to himself.

Lu Renyi stared blankly. Huh? Infiltrate? What are we infiltrating?

Gu Xiaoyue answered for Xiao Lin, Infiltrating the army camp is the best way to complete this task. No, it is the only choice we have if we want to kill the leader of the wolf cavalry squadron.

Everyone could only gasp and stare in shock, Lu Renyi suspected he had misheard and laughed dryly. D-dont joke around! This isnt a game, we dont even know how to hide ourselves; how could we infiltrate them! Those infantry soldiers might not be that strong, but its not like theyre paper! It would be very easy for them to deal with us just in numbers alone.

Xiao Lin had an uncertain expression on his face; he was also in a dilemma. If they really wanted to do that, there would be a very huge risk. Even he was not sure it could work.

Zhou Feng suddenly said, Get her to bring us into the army camp. As long as she agrees, we can promise to let everyone go!

Gu Xiaoyue did not translate it immediately. She wrinkled her eyebrows and asked, Is that possible?

Lu Renyi frowned. Why do I feel like were in a movie? I see this all the time on TV, promising to let the person go after agreeing to something, then killing them right after Would she believe us?

Xiao Lin said, If the thought crossed our mind, it definitely crossed hers as well. If she doesnt agree to our demands, she knows all of them will definitely die. If she agrees, there is at least a sliver of a chance. If it was all of you, would you agree?

Even if she agrees, she could very well be lying to us. The moment we step into army territory, were basically sitting ducks! Lu Renyi voiced his objections.
