Before long, Su Lin followed the patrol team and left the city.
Thanks to Jia Zhengyi's efforts in making connections, and the fact that news of the pure-blooded elf's identity had already reached the military camp, although ordinary soldiers were unaware of it, captains and officers at all levels had been informed.
Whatever the reason, we must do our best to take good care of all members of this elf team.
Therefore, these veteran NPCs didn't make things difficult for Su Lin, treating him like one of their own, and enthusiastically communicating with him and giving him guidance on patrol work.
Su Lin's attitude was also very cooperative, and he behaved very honestly, which was in line with what Jia Zhengyi said to these NPCs: Although we are an adventure team, we also have the loyalty to serve the empire, even if we are just doing some simple patrol work, to comfort our determination to live and die together for humanity.
The patrol work is not complicated. It simply involves searching back and forth within a few dozen miles outside the city, being alert to suspicious points in the surrounding area, checking outposts and traps, and dealing with monsters that have wandered near the city.
This is not the front line, so the patrol work is not particularly dangerous or stressful.
On the patrol route ten miles away, the work needs to be divided and dispersed into groups of 2-4 people. Since Su Lin is a "new recruit", he was assigned to a group of 4 people, and was led by 3 veteran soldiers to conduct a deep patrol and search in one direction.
At that moment, deep in Su Lin's ears, he heard Jia Zhengyi's voice sharing intelligence.
“Boss, you’re on the right track. There’s a small village about five miles to the left. It’s a farm near Balota City with about 1,000 people.”
"But you need a good excuse to shake off these veterans, and then quickly kill them before they can find any evidence."
“If you miss this opportunity, you’ll have to find a way to get to the village in the east. The manor there has 3,000 people, it’s farther away, there are more people, and there’s a 200-person resident patrol team with combat capabilities. There are more variables.”
Jia Zhengyi is essentially a high-powered, wide-range radar, stationed inside the city, analyzing the surrounding environment and key information for Su Lin.
With Su Lin's combat prowess and the combat supplies he carries, killing 1,000 non-combat units would be very easy and wouldn't take too long.
The only challenge right now is figuring out how to shake off these veterans.
Su Lin understood the problem, and several solutions came to mind, including the option of killing "the veterans along with them".
Of course, this is a last resort, as the risk is too great.
A new recruit eager to join the patrol lost several veterans who accompanied him on his first day of patrol... Even if all the NPCs were idiots, they could still see the problem.
This is too suspicious; Su Lin wouldn't use it without a perfect excuse.
"We still need to wait for an opportunity."
Su Lin looked up at the night sky, estimating that dawn would break in five or six hours, and he knew he didn't have much time left.
"If things don't work out, we might have to invest even more and use some of the technological trump cards we have in our backpacks."
Su Lin silently calculated in his mind that among the large amount of combat supplies that Xiao Linlin had spent before coming to the new game were many individual soldier-type high-tech weapons. They were powerful and expensive, but they were easy to use and easy to clear one's name of combat suspicion.
People in the magical world don't understand technological weapons, so if they're used properly, it's very difficult to trace the team back to them.
Just as Su Lin was pondering what methods to use to carry out the mission, he suddenly heard Jia Zhengyi's surprised and uncertain voice: "Huh? That's strange..."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin paused, subtly touching his collar and making a rustling sound through the microphone, indicating that he was questioning Jia Zhengyi.
"Boss, I see... near the manor closest to you, there are a few guys rushing over, and they look like they're traveling very fast! They're not ordinary people!"
"I'm pretty sure they're not the patrolmen from around here... They're a bit far away, I can't see their faces clearly, I can only judge them by their general movements... Wait a minute!"
"...Linlin was next to me just now. She analyzed that it might be [enemy situation]. After all, the human empire is currently in a state of high-intensity war. Although Balota City is not in the first echelon of the front line, it is not too far away, so there is a chance that hostile units will appear."
"Boss, this is an opportunity!"
Jia Zhengyi's rapid-fire reminder made Su Lin instantly understand.
This is indeed a great opportunity!
"etc!"
Su Lin suddenly frowned, stopped moving, and attracted the attention of the veteran NPCs.
"Su? What's wrong? Did you find something?"
"I sense a peculiar power emanating from that direction... Do we have patrols scheduled in that direction?"
Su Lin pointed in the direction of the manor, his voice low: "My elven friend taught me some unique elven magic, which allows me to sense danger. There is a very dangerous life force there."
"A dangerous creature?"
The veterans exchanged glances, all seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes. Most of them were seasoned veterans, soldiers who had retired from the front lines, and were extremely vigilant.
"There couldn't possibly be any patrol teams there; the earliest patrol teams should be on their way back for handover."
"Could it be a magical beast that got lost and wandered into the manor? Su, are your senses accurate?"
The veterans exchanged glances, then asked Su Lin for confirmation. Su Lin nodded solemnly: "I'm sure there's something there!"
"Okay, let's go take a look!"
Without further hesitation, the veterans turned around and headed back towards the manor.
Su Lin achieved his goal and followed closely behind.
Jia Zhengyi was still constantly reporting to him through his earpiece what was happening at the manor, ensuring he had timely intelligence.
