Once Verdon's forces break through Kenny's lines, a bloody storm will rage in Leiden.

Lu Ye had a vague idea of ​​the mole's identity.

However, he still lacks conclusive evidence.

Therefore, Lu Ye had no choice but to risk his life to complete this mission.

The priority of the mission is to cut off Verdun's transport routes first, and then give everyone a fireworks show.

Of course, Lu Ye prepared the finest fireworks.

Just like the fireworks display I saw when I first arrived in Leiden, these fireworks contain a large amount of magnesium, which makes them emit brighter colors than ordinary fireworks after they burn and rise into the air. They can even be used as a large flare for a short time.

However, this cost Lu Ye a lot of money, because he made a slight customization, which directly increased the price by a quarter.

The swamp served as both a protective barrier for the stationed soldiers and a dangerous area where a single misstep could lead to certain death. Therefore, their patrols were limited to the dense forest at the edge of the swamp, which is where fireworks came in handy.

Although Lu Ye had considered whether to use his gun to directly warn Leiden's soldiers of the approaching enemy.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

The gun in his hand was taken from the bartender and others earlier.

You can only say he's a true informant; even his weapons are so professional.

A pocket-sized semi-automatic pistol, similar to the Browning M1906, 6.35mm, easy to conceal.

This type of gun doesn't make a loud noise. If you get too close, you'll get caught, but if you're too far away, there's no guarantee that someone will hear it.

Therefore, fireworks are a safer option, and a pistol can be used to protect yourself.

Next, we entered the swamp.

Lu Ye planned to enter through the small path to the east that the old man had mentioned earlier.

Firstly, it would avoid questioning by Leiden's soldiers, and secondly, it would greatly reduce the chances of encountering Verdon's men.

The reason I am so sure is because the swamp is very large and the journey is long.

Verdon's soldiers, planning to raid Leiden's camp through this swamp, would certainly have planned their route.

According to what Lu Ye learned from the bartender, they had two routes of attack.

Although the exact location is unknown, as is the extent of their "road-paving" project.

But one thing is certain: the route they choose will have two elements.

1. Distance.

2. Concealment.

It's not hard to understand, given that it was a surprise attack.

Of course, Lu Ye certainly didn't know much about this swamp.

However, the route he chose had nothing to do with either of these points.

The road to the east winds around the swamp and takes a long time.

And since it's a road, there must be pedestrians.

Although they didn't know if anyone still traveled that road, the people of Verdon dared not risk being exposed by going there.

Therefore, going that way is the safest.

Although we were traveling at night, the moonlight provided excellent visibility.

Violet helped carry the box and obediently followed behind Lu Ye.

Just as the old man said, this dirt road is very narrow.

To put it more bluntly, it was created by people stepping on it repeatedly.

Not far away is a swamp, and further ahead lies the ridge, completely bypassing this area.

"Let's go this way next."

They were about to enter the swamp, but Lu Ye wasn't nervous at all because he had Violet by his side.

--joke!

Would a girl who can use the martial arts masterpiece "Lightness Skill: Water Floating" of our great Celestial Empire be afraid of a mere swamp or mud pit?

The fastest way is to cross here to the land to the northeast and then get to the railway, but that still takes several hours.

If you're unlucky, you might have to wait until dawn to log in.

This was the first time Lu Ye had ever felt such disgust for an environment.

The roads here were not only muddy and sticky, but he would also frequently step into deep pits, where the thick mud would cause his legs to sink continuously. Fortunately, Violet always managed to pull him out...

Not only that, there are all sorts of disgusting little animals and insects here... After all, the swamp's ecosystem is quite rich, making it perfect for hamsters to roll around in the mud!

Suddenly, Violet tugged at Lu Ye's sleeve.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Lu Ye was breathing slightly heavily.

"I'd love for you to rest, but it's too dangerous here, and it's cold too..."

"No, I want to ask why we did this."

Lu Ye understood what Violet meant.

She knew, of course, that her actions were to save lives.

But she didn't understand the meaning behind some of the actions, such as why Lu Ye was walking this way, even though he was stuck in the mud and it was difficult to pull his legs out...

When you have nothing to do, why not chat?

With this in mind, Lu Ye patiently explained it to her, and time slowly passed by.

The trees ahead became more numerous.

After a long journey, they were finally close to reaching land.

Suddenly, Lu Ye stepped on something hard.

This feeling is very unsettling.

It took him several hours to get used to walking in the swamp and the sticky, soft feeling of his shoes.

But this hard texture gives people a sense of security, like the feeling of a drowning person touching the ground.

But it's still about half an hour's journey to land...

Lu Ye suddenly realized something and broke out in a cold sweat.

and many more.

If Verdon's army had been laying roads all along, wouldn't those roads have been discovered once they got close to Kenny?

So how can we avoid this situation?

The answer is obvious.

Lu Ye bent down and carefully used his hands to remove the mud from under his feet.

And what was revealed beneath that surface was a huge wooden plank...

That's right, hiding it is very simple.

Just blend in with your surroundings.

After all, this swamp has no shortage of camouflage.

Lu Ye sensed something was wrong.

No wonder Verdon was unwilling to leave; their "project" was probably already quite complete.

We just need to wait a few more days before we can launch a direct attack on Kenny.

The transport route must be blocked before that happens...!!

Just then, the sound of conversation suddenly came from not far away.

Along with this came the light emitted by the miniature flashlight.

Lu Ye was taken aback. They were still in an "open space" with no cover around them.

—It was too late to dodge!

A pale blue light appeared before Lu Ye's eyes.

Chapter 82 Metal Gear: The Cardboard Box

Two soldiers emerged from the shadows.

"It's so cold. Is it really necessary to send people to patrol this late at night? Or rather, would anyone other than us actually come to this godforsaken place?"

"There's nothing we can do, that's the rule."

"By the way, how much longer will it take to lay these planks? It seems like this is the last batch, the rest of the planks are all piled up at the camp."

"About three days, I heard from the commander. These three weeks of effort haven't been in vain... Damn Leiden people, I can already imagine the terrified expressions on their faces when we cross the swamp and reach them, hahaha..."

"There's no specific plan for this mission; just kill anyone you see."

“Of course, my brother, the Leidens deserve to die! They’ve been trying to mess with us before, now it’s their turn.”

"But I find it hard to bring myself to harm ordinary people."

"Hmph, those civilians you're talking about were the ones who voted to pass economic sanctions against the northern countries! If you can't kill them, I will!"

"Alright, alright, although I don't know what happened to you in the past, let's not talk about that now. Look, why is there a cardboard box here?"

The soldiers stopped and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Indeed, it would seem strange to anyone to find a cardboard box in the swamp with a picture of a girl in a cute dress drawn on it.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?"

"Never mind, it's probably something someone left here when they were moving things."

"is it?"
