In addition to the player troops, Lin Tian also established a city guard in Blackwater City, where approved residents can join freely, and most of them are local indigenous people.

The city guard force is commanded by the captain and Wei Ya.

At this time, most of the city guard troops had been taken out of the city by the captain and rushed towards the central battlefield.

Wei Ya continues to sit in Blackwater City, working with the remaining city guards to maintain order and manage the daily life in the city.

"This guy Lin Tian asked me to come out with thousands of people, and I don't know what he was going to do."

In a dense forest valley, the captain sat alone in his tent and muttered to himself. The city guards were stationed in separate camps here to maintain vigilance.

Long before the war started, Lin Tian asked Han Wen to take some of his troops out of the city, saying that he was ready for surprises and waiting for the enemy to come to deliver food.

However, after waiting for a long time, bird droppings were all over the tent roof, but no one was seen. The captain was worried about this.

"Report, there is something going on."

"Don't worry, just tell me."

The captain said in a gentle tone.

"A few hundred meters away, a group of refugees was found."

"Refugee? No need..."

The captain was about to say that he didn't need to worry about this group of refugees, but then he thought about it, what are the refugees doing here in this wilderness?

They had killed several ferocious mutant beasts before, and then they took over this piece of land that could be used as a temporary camp area.

"Take me to see it."

The captain immediately stood up and followed the city guards out of the camp.

When they walked out, they saw that this group of refugees had come a lot closer, and they also noticed the terrifying number of city guards here.

I saw that the first reaction of this group of refugees when they saw someone was not to come to seek help, but to turn around and run away.

"If there is something fishy, ​​send someone to catch them and bring them back for interrogation."

The captain said seriously.

"yes."

The captain came out with the intention of seeing what these refugees think. If possible, recruiting them casually and letting them join Blackwater City to make a living by working hard would not be a bad idea.

But this group of people are all wandering in the wilderness, eating and drinking. The major forces don't want such wanderers to enter the city, and they can't even find a place to beg.

As for smuggling? If you don’t have money, how can you sneak into the city? If you have the ability and money, you won’t end up wandering in the wilderness.

Soon, these suspicious-looking refugees were caught.

When we meet each other, it means——

"Don't kill me, I surrender."

"I surrender too!"

The remaining few people remained silent, but did not make any move to resist, and were very cooperative.

"Where are you from?"

The refugee who yelled the fastest and loudest at first told everything. Sure enough, they were deserters who ran away from the battlefield in Luolv City.

In order not to be noticed, he disguised himself as a refugee and ran around.

The Green Forest Army is the most powerful in the vicinity, but it also makes the most enemies. After all, it is impossible for other people's population and land to be given away to you for nothing, you can only rely on robbing it.

"Where is your main force now?"

The captain continued to ask, if the main force of this group of deserters could be known, then this time it would really be a surprise as Lin Tian said.

Unexpectedly, these deserters shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

Even under the captain's pretense of intimidation, he almost burst into tears.

"Sir, I really don't know where the main force is! We were running around in the beginning because we were afraid of being chased, so we deliberately fled to places like this."

"Yes, sir, it's not that we don't want to say it, we just really don't know!"

Seeing that these prisoners did not look like they were pretending, the captain did not continue to question them.

What's more, what they said makes some sense.

If you can't run for long in this kind of wilderness, you can run for one day, but what about the next day?

There are beasts and poisonous barriers everywhere, but no one is there.

The further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes, and you may even encounter the King of Beasts in a certain area.

Moreover, there is no turning back.

Walking halfway, without supplies, you can only go all the way to the dark side. If there are no resources to replenish in front, then no matter whether you go forward or backward, you are doomed to death.

"Take them down, search them, and keep them under centralized supervision. After the operation is over, take them back to Blackwater City."

After saying that, the captain ignored the prisoners and walked straight to the side.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

In the field of vision, a large group of refugees appeared unexpectedly. In other words, they should be of the same nature as these prisoners.

At a glance, there were quite a few people there, and a conservative estimate would have been over a hundred people.

"Eat the small shrimps first, then the big fish."

The captain called for men and asked the city guards to prepare for the battle.

There were more enemies this time, and the captain had already seen the reflections of many weapons.

"I should be able to get more information this time."

A troop of several hundred people will definitely no longer be the same small fish and shrimps as before. There must be people with enough weight to serve as the backbone and maintain the stability of the entire group.

Otherwise, the group will be leaderless and rely only on a ragtag group of people. They will not be able to go very far and will be separated. The result is the same as that of the previous few prisoners.

Captain, the terrain here is higher, close to the mountainside, and the enemies are all walking below the valley.

In the wilderness, no one thought about whether to ambush or not.

You said that they all chose to be deserters, and there were still people who deliberately ambush them and even ran into the wilderness. How much harm would this cost?

Right, Lin Tian is so damaged.

All other directions must pass through Luo Lu's original territory. Those places are either enemy-occupied areas or our own areas. There is no need to worry about the enemies running to these places.

Lin Tian asked the captain to come here precisely to ask him to lead the city guards to block this only natural pass that could leak people out.

Therefore, when gunshots were heard from the mountainside, hundreds of deserters' minds were buzzing and they did not react at all.

Among the hundreds of people, not many were armed.

Before, everyone had one, but after traveling so far, the bullets should have been used up, or they were thrown away because they were too heavy and were in the way.

In the end, some people took dozens of fellow villagers and seized power on the spot, and they managed to unite these hundreds of people.

Of course, there is no way to get a lost weapon back, and every bullet you use will fly out and be gone.

"Brother Fei, there is an ambush here, what should we do?"

Li Wenfei, the current speaker of these hundreds of people, was the same person who led dozens of people to seize power and lead the team.

"Don't waste bullets, ask the brothers to hide under the cliff first and observe the enemy's situation."

It can be heard from the continuous gunshots that the enemy on the mountainside has sufficient firepower and many men, and is not something they can defeat.

For now, we can only find a way to escape from here, and we can't go any further.

The situation ahead is unclear. We have encountered such a powerful force here. Who knows if there will be more ambushes behind?
