Chapter 18: Preparing to Infiltrate
The Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group, in Arthur's room, the core of the Mercenary Group is all there.
Arthur recounted the events of the banquet tonight to the rest of the room. After that, there was silence in the room for a while.
Arthur's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, "I want to hear everyone's opinions, why don't you speak?"
"You shouldn't take this task, this matter is strange from the inside out, it is likely that someone deliberately set a trap, just waiting for us to drill into it?" Joan said with a rare serious analysis.
Arthur smiled bitterly, "Of course I know there is something wrong with this matter, but this mission has to be taken, and even if it is a trap, it may not be specifically aimed at our mercenary group?
Joan said dejectedly: "All you do is to die, Old Wales and Kunto have already sent two groups of people in, and the people of the Marquis's Mansion have long been on guard." And this time it's the three mercenary groups that took the same mission, in order to win the mission, the three not only can't cooperate, but also pull each other back, I bet, as long as you sneak in, you won't be able to get out!"
"Crow's mouth!" Arthur was so angry that he tried to gagged Joan, "It's because the risk of infiltrating is too great that he brought everyone together to figure out a way." ”
The dwarf Toren immediately came up with an idea: "Brother Arthur, I can make a tunnel outside the Marquis's Mansion that leads directly to the palace, so that it will not be discovered." ”
"Don't you have a flying ring? The tenth princess also interjected.
"I can control the critters to explore the way and help you choose the safest route. Ellenie also came up with an idea.
Only Huey, Arya, and Spence remained silent in the room. Huey almost never spoke out, and Arya rarely spoke out in public, so Arthur looked directly at Spence.
Spence yawned, "Now that you've decided to dive in, it's useless to say more, even if it's a trap, when you jump in, the person who set up the ambush will naturally show up." I'll go with you this time, even if I try my best, I'll bring you out alive!"
Arthur was so touched by Spence's righteousness that he found that Spence had treated them as relatives to be protected, just like Joan.
Arthur still chose to refuse, "If I say that I go alone, you will definitely not agree, but why do you want everyone to jump together when you know that it is a pit? With the ice clone made by Gru to confuse, even if there was an accident, I would still have time to send a distress signal. ”
Seeing this, Spence no longer insisted, "Then you should rest early tonight, set off early tomorrow morning, and start at night, and if you want to do this, you must do it as soon as possible." If there is a real accident, I will meet this Marquis of Selenda directly. ”
It was precisely because of Spence that Arthur had the courage to take the risk of taking on this task. If Sino is also there, maybe the two of them will join forces and directly level Yanfeng Manor.
Everyone said goodbye from Arthur's room, and Arya deliberately dragged it to the end.
Arya lowered her head and didn't dare to meet Arthur's gaze, and said softly, "You must be careful tomorrow." ”
Arthur took the opportunity to step forward and grab Arya's hand, looking at her with hot eyes, "Since you're worried, don't leave tonight!"
Arya's face immediately flushed with shame, but she didn't pull her hand out.
Arthur took Arya in his arms, and with a pair of hands, he began to explore her dishonestly, making Arya gasp. When Arthur was about to make further moves, Arya suddenly broke free from his arms, turned around and ran out, and left Arthur on the spot.
The meat that was about to reach his mouth flew, Arthur scratched his head and couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't understand women, I used to always say that I was shy, but now I took the initiative, but she retreated." ”
......
The two major tribes of the Orc Wasteland, the Bloody Flame Blue Wolf and the Golden Lion have been clashes in the border areas more and more frequently recently.
The two sides have not yet started a full-scale war because they have not been able to defeat each other in one fell swoop, especially when the Orc Templar has not made a clear statement and the Azure Eagle has declared its neutrality.
But because of an unexpected accident that neither side expected, the golden lion took the lead in launching a surprise attack on the Bloody Flame Wolf. The black lion general Chiligu led an army of 200,000 orcs to suddenly enter the territory of the Bloody Flame Blue Wolf, killing the wolf lord by surprise, first defeating 50,000 wolf riders at the border, and then marching all the way to the wolf castle.
After the initial panic, the wolf lord immediately began to organize a counterattack. The orc warriors of the tribe in the territory harassed and attacked Chiligu's army all the way, and at the same time quickly gathered more than 200,000 orc cavalry, including 100,000 elite Blood Flame Wolf Riders, to launch a head-on counterattack against the Golden Lion's army.
In the vast orc wasteland, countless orc warriors killed in the dark and bloody.
The accident that triggered this war was the transaction between Leon who ambushed Eliot's trading house and the Sky Trading House in the Orlando Mountains, and then robbed the caravan sent by Eliot to the Orlando Mountains to seek other trade channels twice in a row according to Arthur's wishes.
Leon's actions led Eliot, the lion king, into believing that the wolf would cut off his trade route entirely. As soon as the trade channel is cut off, without the support of huge wealth, the strength of the army directly under the hands of the Golden Lion Family will inevitably weaken day by day. Therefore, the enraged lion king decided to strike first and took the lead in attacking the Bloody Flame Wolf.
While the two tribes of the Bloody Wolf and the Golden Lion were fighting to the death, Leon, the initiator of this incident, was busy establishing a stronghold along the orc side of the Orlando Mountains with his men, and he planned to completely block the trade between the two clans through the Orlando Mountains.
Leon stood on top of a hill with a view of the surrounding path of more than a dozen miles into and out of the Orlando Mountains.
Munk stood beside Leon and couldn't help but persuade: "You are doing so blatantly now, aren't you afraid that the wolf lord will react and settle accounts with you in the future?"
"It just so happens that you help me do something, you pick up half of the things we snatched back last time and send them to the wolf master. In addition, I have arranged for Long Dong to lead 3,000 soldiers to assist the wolf lord in the battle, which is not only to train the troops, but also to express our loyalty and allegiance. I'm going to pay and pay people like this now, what can he say even if he reacts? Even if he settles accounts, he has to have a reason to do it, right?"
Munch gave Leon a thumbs up, "Count you ruthless!"
Leon looked at the undulating Orlando Mountains and said softly: "There is one more ruthless over there, with the help of the resources over there, we can move towards the entire wasteland a little faster!"
