Chapter 149 Discussing the plan
"Don't tell me you plan to go alone this time." Holod stared at her with fire in his eyes: "I tell you, you are not omnipotent!"
"Don't treat your life as a joke, Miss!"
"Oh"
Looking at her drooping eyelids and dull expression, Horod knew he couldn't persuade her, so he could only pull the steward over and ask him to explain:
"Well... because Track 6 is a sparsely populated area, with only the Viper Gang entrenched there. However, their leader is practically impossible to communicate with, so it's impossible for you to reason with them.
I'm afraid you'll be riddled with hornets' nests in no time if you go over there. Alas, it's all because construction ran into trouble and was interrupted, allowing those bandits to take advantage...
If things get out of hand, it could easily turn into a brawl, and if a fire breaks out, it'll be hard to get the coal mines and supplies back!"
Shi Hui was slightly stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that a small broken railway track could be occupied by a gang and could not be taken back. What kind of place is that?
She murmured: "Could it be... that place is a cave?"
"Almost, almost!" The manager nodded repeatedly and explained again: "When the construction of that damn place started, it was a huge mountain, but they gave up completely halfway through digging, which resulted in it being full of pits, which can be said to be rat holes. It is too difficult to catch them out of it!"
Everything the manager said was true. They had spent a lot of manpower and resources to build the railway, but in the end, someone else took over the position, and that place was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Upon hearing this, Shihui stopped talking. She narrowed her eyes and began to think about what she should do to bring back the supplies she needed.
Kill them all?
I'm afraid that by then even the coal mines will catch fire...
It seems that the only way is to outsmart it...
As for outsmarting her, she didn't have much idea, or rather, no idea at all.
Lime summoning system panel, taking a general look at his various abilities.
The only abilities that can be used are probably Legilimency and Cold Current.
However, she must be extremely careful when using the cold current, as any carelessness may cause her to suffer backlash.
"Ms. Hilde! We're here!"
While she was thinking about it, Horod had already called Ou Lei and the others over. When they heard that they could help Shihui in the next mission, they were very excited.
She turned around and saw two people standing close to her, which made her subconsciously take a few steps back, but with a faint smile on her face.
"We heard from the uncle that a group of robbers robbed our things. Now we are going to fight them and take them back!" Ou Lei put her hands on her hips menacingly and shook her bangs that covered half of her eyes, looking as if she was determined to win.
In comparison, Ike was much calmer, carrying the sniper rifle he had snatched from the enemy with a serious expression on his face.
"The night is very favorable to us, Miss Hilde!"
Olena and Iko's faces were filled with excitement, only Roz behind them hid his face in the shadows, looking as if he wanted to raise his head but didn't dare.
"So this guy isn't made of wood."
The steward couldn't help but mutter in his heart when he saw Shihui smile.
Shime smiled and shook his head: "You three guys... are really a headache."
She didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm, but she had no choice but to let them join in.
What's more, Yi Ke's ears can really be of great help in the dark, and if things go wrong, we'll have to rely on her for everything.
After they returned to the room, the steward lit a few more kerosene lamps, which brightened up the originally dim room.
By the way, he also called four strong guards to come in. At first, the four of them were moved when they saw the beauty in the house, but they were frightened when they saw Shihui's vicious eyes.
This made them immediately realize that this was not an easy task.
The steward bent down and carefully spread the train route map on the coffee table.
There were routes of different colors on the yellowed map, except for one green route which was only half cut and had a poisonous snake symbol drawn on it.
"Everyone, please look here!" He pointed to the gathering point of all the lines in the lower right corner of the map: "This is our supply station, and Line 6 needs to go all the way to the northeast. The terrain there is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The bandits inside will patrol constantly without revealing any flaws!"
The steward kept a close eye on the other person's expression, but it was nothing like what he expected.
A normal person might sigh and feel distressed after hearing these words, but Shihui didn't even blink, as if this hot potato posed no threat to her.
Is she really omnipotent?
Or does she really have the power to take it down easily? !
"Is that all?" Shihui's beautiful eyes were charming and captivating, and she raised her long legs to entice people. The four guards swallowed their saliva and suppressed the fire in their hearts.
Not to mention the four men, even Ou Lei's eyes lit up and her mouth watered. This evil-looking lime made her feel like her heart was about to explode.
"You have a nosebleed," Yi Ke leaned over to remind her quietly, and wiped it with a handkerchief.
Fortunately, not much flowed out and it was wiped away in a few strokes.
But the fire in Ole's heart could not be extinguished.
Ross, who was sitting opposite the two of them, had a look of disgust on his face. He couldn't understand how a witch as aloof as Lime could bring such a person with her.
'Does she like this style?'
However, Shihui's attention was not on the two of them. He stared at the map intently, tapped the bandit stronghold with his fingers and continued to ask: "So how many of them are there?"
"Uh..." The steward was stumped by this question. After all, how would he know how many people there were, and no one would be stupid enough to go and check.
"There are probably... about a hundred of them. Their leader is a very powerful warrior. Normal people can't even stand a chance against him.
The reason the Viper Gang is called the Viper Gang is because their leader keeps a strange venomous snake in captivity. If a normal person smells the poisonous gas, their blood vessels will burst and they will die. Not to mention being touched by it, their flesh and bones will probably melt away immediately. It is really beyond comprehension..."
Although there was an existence in front of him that was beyond his cognition.
"More than a hundred people?" Oulena almost jumped up from the sofa, her eyes wide open as she asked, "Are you sure it's more than a hundred people?"
"Yes." The butler nodded seriously.
Ou Lei leaned on the sofa like a deflated ball. It would not be a problem if the other person was only in his twenties or thirties, or even more, only in his fifties or sixties.
But asking them to fight four against a hundred now is really ridiculous.
Thinking of this, she nudged Yi Ke next to her with her arm.
"Do you think we can come back alive?"
Yi Ke blinked his eyes, feeling scared in his heart, but he still forced himself to speak: "With Miss Hilde here, there will be no problem!"
The four guards standing by the wall were already frightened out of their wits. They were not gods descended from heaven, but ordinary people with flesh and blood. No matter how powerful they were, they could not do such an outrageous thing.
Unless the gods can be dragged off the battlefield, it would be tantamount to suicide, and even assassination would be nonsense.
The four of them looked at each other, as if ready to escape from this impossible and crazy plan.
At this moment, a cold voice broke their fantasy.
"You... seem very scared?" Shihui crossed his legs and stared at the four soldiers with an extremely cold tone: "Are you planning to desert the battlefield, or are you planning to leave because of fear?"
"Scumbags!"
The pair of half-closed blood-red eyes seemed to be able to transform into poisonous snakes at this moment, wrapping around them and tightening little by little.
The army's morale must not be disrupted. If it is disrupted, then a great disaster will surely occur. Shihui will never let this happen.
…………
The room immediately fell silent, and everyone had a different expression.
There was doubt mixed with fear, and the only thing he could hear was his own rapidly beating heart.
Everyone in the room felt a strong sense of suffocation.
You can hear the needle drop!
There was no need for Lime to deliberately release her aura to intimidate people. The strong murderous aura she exuded and the pride of being a royal family member in her bones were enough to suppress them.
That is something that ordinary people and untouchables cannot learn.
Oleina curled up next to Iko, and the hand holding hers was sweating.
She had occasionally seen angry Lime, but never towards her or Anne.
As for the anger and murderous intent, she felt it firsthand, and it was a feeling that could make you lose your head in the next second.
Not to mention Roots, who almost knelt down on the spot.
Shihui tilted his head slightly to the right and asked with a gloomy face: "They slaughtered and looted you at will, but you don't even have the courage to resist?"
"No... no!" One of the soldiers immediately assumed the most standard standing position, not even daring to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He suppressed his fear, clenched his sweaty fists, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"We are willing to sacrifice our lives for the people!"
"What about you three?" Shihui glanced at the other three.
The three of them said in unison: "It is our duty to sacrifice our lives for the people!"
Lime spread out his hands and smiled like a snake.
"Then please die!"
