Chapter 545: It Doesn't Seem to Be an Easy Task
"No news yet?"
Linbeck, who was walking in front, saw a captain come up, so he changed a place to lean on, and leaned on the captain to bite his ear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Nope. Deputy Head of Polley has not heard anything so far. The captain said gloomily.
The day before yesterday, Polley took five captains up the mountain to explore the terrain and look for the bandits' base camp.
This mountain range is a relatively remote place, with few human tracks, and many people who like to explore or like to find strange mountains and deep sea treasures are not willing to come to this place.
It's disgusting because of the harsh environment here.
These mountains are not high, but they are one after the other, and they are vast and boundless. The mountains are densely forested, with trees of varying heights, but there are many low shrubs blocking the way, and there are many thorny or thorny plants to add to the confusion. Even if you don't forget it, there are many poisonous snakes and beasts lurking in ambush, and an accidentally abrupt swamp is hidden in a dead leaf, and it will sink deeper and deeper into the mud when you step on it. The intricate plants in the mountains do not grow regularly, and there have been many people who have gone in and ventured before they have gone far and withdrawn, and it is really impossible to distinguish between the east and the west, and the common tricks such as judging the direction according to the canopy are completely useless in it.
This is also why only troops are stationed at the mouth of the gorge between the two countries, because the environment of the mountain range is unbearable and the road is far away, and if you want to invade from there, you don't know how many soldiers will be left who can come out alive. If it is a strong man who flies, then which side of the flight is not flying, it looks stupid to hold those mountains.
Therefore, this gang of bandits has been in this area for many years and has not been eliminated, mainly because of this mountain range. They seemed to be familiar with the mountains, and when an army came to surround them, they hid in the mountains. Ordinary people go up to the mountains to look for them, and even if they are not harmed, they are probably buried in the many dangers of nature in the mountains and forests.
It's not unheard of trying to send powerful Sky Samurai and Magus to suppress bandits, but this mountain range is so vast that Sky Samurai and Magus want to find out those bandits who have been reduced to pieces in this mountain range, which is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
After all, there is still a limit to the number of masters above the Sky Samurai level that any force can send. Unless a country has a master of this level, it will be difficult to search the mountain range completely.
But no country would do that.
Any one of these masters is an important force for the country. It was as if there was an arms race between the three kingdoms, and it was the number of these masters who competed with each other. Which country will exert all its strength to suppress the bandits? If another country is left behind, then everything will be irreparable. Although the three countries are now friendly with each other, it is still the same sentence, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
Later, the Gnosway Empire and the Toster Empire also discussed this matter for a long time, and only recently reached a consensus and decided to hire mercenaries to deal with it, and each family just paid for it, and there was no need to send all the masters to work hard.
This task jointly issued by the two countries is listed on the task list as an SS-level mission in the mercenary union, except for the Dawn mercenary group that has stopped taking the task, only the iron-blooded mercenary group dares to accept it. It was also because the task was SS-level high that Linbeck was able to personally go out and bring out all the main forces in the mercenary group.
The opponent is not difficult to deal with, but it is difficult to deal with the environmental crisis. But this task is really not difficult for the Iron and Blood Mercenary Regiment, no matter how barren and dangerous the ancient jungle is, they can enter and exit it safely, and such an annoying mountain is a bird. In this way, this mission really seems to be tailor-made for the Iron and Blood Mercenary Group.
The most troublesome step was to find the bandits, and they first set out Polley and the five captains to determine the range of the other party's movements. With the skills of all of them as Sky Samurai, there must be no problem in moving around here. In this way, when they arrived, even if Polly didn't find any clues, they would be able to choose a route forward according to the range that Polly had already searched.
But Polley and the others had not heard from them for two days, which made Linbeck puzzled.
Because even Transsion couldn't find them.
Transsonic is a superb technique that can only be used by the Sky Samurai or Magister or above, and the stronger the strength, the wider the range of sound transmission. But the sound transmission is also easy to be interfered with, such as the other party entering a place with a shielding circle, or the other party shielding their own breath.
"In that case, let's search. The diffusion formation kept echoing, accelerating from south to north!" Linbeck quickly gave the order.
The mercenaries did not hesitate to meet the boss's orders, and quickly disappeared into the woods again. Later, everyone noticed that the speed of progress was much faster.
Ophelia is a samurai, and when she encounters thorns, she swings her sword and slashes before moving forward, and she is very domineering, even if it is a girl, it is not too difficult. But Athena was a magician, and it was a little hard to get a foot deep and a shallow foot in a large area of low bushes, and Ophelia got her up and hurried away. Lester also silently walked in front of Ophelia, trying to help him clear the way and reduce their difficulties.
He had just entered the mountain forest and immediately entered the mode of being punished, but Yuan Feiwu and his party did not complain. From the moment they knew their destination, they knew that they had come to sin.
"It seems that this time it is not easy to suppress the bandits. Yuan Feiwu didn't know when he walked next to Linbeck.
"yes, I'm going to see what I can do. ”
Linbeck's languid eyes shone again, he was the one who had never disappointed Douglas!
At the foot of the mountain, four groups of troops belonging to different groups stood straight under the scorching sun. The city guard, one of the city guards sent by Maude, had begun to look bad.
Some lieutenants began to ask questions to the captain who led the team: Should you stand here until they come back? How vast this mountain range is, it is not surprising that people may go for dozens of days to suppress bandits this time, but it is too unrealistic for them to stand here for dozens of days.
The lord of the city sent them out indeed to ask them to wait until the people returned, but of course not standing. The captain was also too tired, sweating profusely, his tongue was about to poke out like a dog to dissipate heat, and as soon as the deputy general asked him, he went down the steps, so as not to make it seem that he, the captain, was too weak in front of the other teams. He hurriedly gave an order, and everyone found a nearby place to camp.
Hearing this order, everyone immediately dispersed happily, rummaging through their backpacks to find a tent, and now a tent that could provide shade was the most extravagant thing they wanted.
They didn't find out that the other three groups were also teams of different belongings, and the generals who led the team gathered together silently, and there were more than a dozen senior generals here.
"Even you guys used it? Several generals of the First Legion said to the generals of the border guards, "You are a very important force, and we are enough here." ”
"Hehe, this shows that the top of the board attaches great importance to this matter. If this mission can be completed, it will be worth it for all of us. One of the generals guarding the border said with a smile.
"That's right. Several generals of the Second Legion smiled meaningfully, "You are all 'your own people' who came this time?"
"Of course, it's been hard to cultivate. Aren't you?" the border general raised an eyebrow.
"There are many people in our army, how can you be like the emperor of the mountain is far away. However, most of the people brought out this time are 'their own people', so many people are gone, and it is estimated that they will not be able to go back. The general of the First Army sighed.
"After the border is the Tost Empire, the top has already arranged a place for you to go, and the family members have promised to take good care of it, what else is there to be afraid of? Everything is for the great cause of reunification!" The border general patted the man's shoulder and comforted, "I see that they have gone away, they should be able to 'clear the field', right?"
The more than a dozen generals around all nodded, showed a cruel smile, and turned around and quietly surrounded the city guards with their subordinates.
One of the elves walked up to the captain of the city guard, who was arranging a camp in the distance, and patted him on the back.
"Oh, it's the general of the Second Legion, what's wrong......
Before the city guard could finish speaking, his stomach had been pierced by a sharp sword.
"Nothing, send you to a cooler place to escape the heat. ”
The general drew his sword and pushed it gently, and the captain of the city guard fell to the ground hard, and the sparkle in his eyes gradually faded.
