Chapter 506 507. Investigation
Lan En jumped down from a rock that was bleached by the sun, then walked a few steps and came to the road beside the rock to squat down and observe.
If he followed the route of an ordinary person, he would have to go around in a circle to reach his current location.
The Aegean Sea is full of broken islands. The formation of these islands is due to violent geological activities. Therefore, there will be many rugged height differences on the island.
The people of ancient Greece began the development of their own civilization on these small islands.
The ruts are very deep, but the quality of the wheels is much better than those on the market. It seems that just like the legend, the Spartans used all their skills for military purposes.
Lann picked up a handful of dirt from the ground with his fingers covered with steel-plated leather gloves, looked at it carefully, and murmured.
There are barley grains mixed in the soil, so it must be a grain truck.
At present, the only people who can transport grain outside the city of Megara are the Spartans. Their army, which is renowned among city-states, is invincible on the frontal battlefield in the land of Megaris.
In the witcher's eyes, the feline-like vertical pupils shrank for a while.
The extraordinary senses are then opened, and the whole world begins to become more colorful.
The ruts on the ground turned bright red to the point of irritation.
Lan En walked forward along this trail.
With the pace of advancement, the surrounding scenery also changed from the cleared wilderness around the city-state to a small forest with thin trees that were almost two people tall.
The sunlight from the Aegean Sea can only fall through the gaps between the branches and leaves, turning into patches of light.
Lan En, who had just entered the grove not far away, sniffed slightly and frowned slightly on his beautiful brows.
The witcher's sensitive sense of smell collected different smell information.
In this small forest, there is the smell of wild beast excrement, body odor, the fragrance of broken branches and crushed branches, and so on.
These smells are all normal, except for human blood and the smell of rotten food mixed together.
While being vigilant, Lan En was also slightly stunned.
Although I had some idea that there was a logistical problem with the Spartan army in my previous speculations, I never expected that something would actually happen on the first day of the investigation?
Am I just too lucky? Or are the problems faced by Spartan logistics far more serious than imagined?
Lan very much hoped that it was not the latter possibility.
The cladding-clad boots crushed fallen leaves and dead branches. The witcher finally followed the clues to the scene after passing through the double lock of ruts and smells.
The situation at the scene was very different from what Lan En had imagined.
Several corpses were disemboweled and placed on the roadside. Seven of them only wore a Spartan red skirt around the waist, and then wore a brass Collins helmet without helmet plumes. .
The other three were dressed like the Spartans on the beach, wearing wrist guards, shin guards, and a piece of brass armor with carved abdominal muscles and chest muscles.
There are a total of ten Spartan warriors, three of whom are estimated to be precious and rare Spartan citizens who have been trained day and night since childhood.
But now, these top soldiers of this era have been disemboweled like domestic animals and poultry.
The grain truck that they had guarded to the death was now scattered into a pile of fine pieces of wood, and the precious grain on the truck was only scattered around their bodies, or a small pile that rotted because it was not taken away.
In the Mediterranean region during the ancient Greek period, Greece did not have much grain-producing capacity due to its fragmented geographical environment.
The Greeks would produce olive oil and wine, and then use ocean trade to import food from grain-producing countries such as Egypt.
Hence, barley, olive oil, and wine were the iron triangle of maritime trade in ancient Greece.
At this time, these are the traces of decay on the ground.
Lan En first squatted next to a pile of corpses, running his fingers through their wounds and digging into them.
"The blood is rotting and attracting insects. This smell should mean that it has been dead for two days?" He muttered an inference, but then Lan En shook his head.
No, considering the climate along the Aegean coast, this could have happened in a day at most. The same goes for food spoilage.
Standing up, the witcher looked around at the crime scene, and a feeling of incoherence and something wrong appeared in his heart.
In the witcher's extraordinary senses, the footprints on this field are bright red and dazzling, but their distribution and number are messy.
These ten men were all killed by the same weapon and by the same man.
Back to the original position, Lann looked down at the Spartan's corpse.
Carnivorous bugs have been attracted by the rotting smell of blood and gathered on the corpse.
"That man can pierce the entire Spartan brass breastplate, and then tear open a large gap like a piece of paper. Although it is copper alloy, it is also an out-and-out metal armor. There is nothing Doubt, this is another person who Cassandra said was 'recognized by the gods'. Ordinary people can't deal with him at all."
And this is such a guy. He didnt cover up his traces?
Lan En raised one of his eyebrows unconsciously, showing a surprised expression.
Hooding up traces is not a difficult task, especially in war-torn areas, especially in the climate and geographical environment of the Aegean Sea coast.
In the wild era, even an ordinary hunter knew: If you want to dispose of a corpse, don't you just have to attract a pack of wolves in the wild?
There are more wild animals than people these days.
It is more difficult to maintain the original appearance of these corpses in the wild than to cover up the traces.
After a moment of thinking, many possibilities were swirling in Lan En's mind.
But in the end, he shook his head and shook these things away.
Its better to start than to dream.
The carts were destroyed and those carrying the grain could not go far.
Lan En turned to look at the hills in the distance. There were many caves there due to geological activities. It was a good place for bandits to gather, and the war also encouraged bandits to plunder.
The question is, where did the bandits have the ability to kill the Spartans?
How can he be a bandit if he has this ability?
Lets go up and have a look first.
With Lan En thinking this, he changed direction and started climbing the mountain.
In the city of Megara, Phoebe was playing in a circle with several children, throwing stones.
This kind of gameplay will test the player's hand speed and accuracy. They will throw up a varying number of stones and then catch them. The successful player will also gain the admiration of others.
The more you throw and catch, the better it becomes.
This games leveling makes it even more fascinating.
With his energetic personality and cheerful smile, Fubai easily joined the local children's games.
She was not starving, and even made these children think that she was from a good family.
Unlike local children, Fubai only spent less than half of his energy on games.
The rest of her energy was used to **** up her ears and listen to the casual words of these children during their games.
