"Hahaha, those little ladies' army can't hold on, send an order to let the brothers work harder, the little ladies' captives of the cold pear country belong to themselves, and only half of the captured treasures and booty need to be handed over! The front-line commander of the Ice Bear Country, known as the One-Eyed Titan, shook his sarcoma-like head and said hurriedly to the soldiers behind him who were respectfully aside,
"Yes, my lord!" This news made the soldiers flush and responded excitedly to know that in addition to being brutal and notoriously stingy, the soldiers turned around and went to inform the soldiers of the Ice Bear Country who were attacking to share the good news, of course, he wished that he was one of them, and the high morale of the Ice Bear Country was the opposite of the strong desire to attack, the position of the Cold Pear Country is now very silent, it should not be said that an atmosphere of despair is slowly spreading,
"How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?" Deep in the rear headquarters, the haggard Leng Pear Commander Cassel asked the liaison officer sent to him by the lord of the country again, and the liaison officer lowered his head for a long time and replied with difficulty: "My lord, I don't know, I really don't know, the last time they said that there were only 2 prayer hours, now that 2 prayer hours have passed, not only have I not seen their figures, and even I can't contact them now, I'm worried... I'm worried. ”
"What are you worried about?" Cassel squinted at his liaison officer, who thought for a moment and took a breath as if he had mustered up the courage of his whole body: "I'm worried that they have already been martyred, and we are very likely to be just a decoy, a trap set by the Ice Bear Kingdom to annihilate our living forces." Hearing this, Cassel sat on the ground as if he had been struck by lightning, thinking about the recent battle with the Ice Bear Country, and the bloody battle, and suddenly his eyes were blank, and he sat on the ground for a long time before he said slowly: "Retreat, save a little more strength." ”
"My lord, I'm afraid it's too late to tear it down, the army of the Ice Bear Country has already entered the position and fought with our people, if we retreat now, I'm afraid we will suffer even more losses, and many legions will be removed..."The liaison officer shook his head regretfully,
"Then what do you say? I can't withdraw, I can't fight, and there are no reinforcements, do you mean to let me give up on them and let them die inside? Cassel stood up and roared, the liaison officer shook his head and said in a solemn tone, "My lord, sacrificing them is probably the only way to save a lot of power, please decide." Cassel bit his lip and pulled out his saber and put it directly on the liaison officer's neck, and said angrily: "Then believe it or not, I slashed you with a knife, and you asked me to give up our own soldiers? The liaison officer smiled wryly
"My lord, I'm not actually afraid of death, and I'm not afraid of sacrifice, you can throw me to the front line at any time, but I hope that my death is worthwhile, if my death can keep more companions alive, I can promise, now that the Red Sleeve Legion is gone, the Green Branch Legion is gone, and less than half of the two legions of Bai Xue and Mu Rui have been beaten, and the Leng Pear Country will be destroyed if the adults die!" In the end, the liaison officer couldn't stop crying, and when he heard this, Cassel hesitated, and he could only fall into a state of confusion again, when suddenly a voice sounded in the command headquarters
"Since the people of the Cold Pear Country can't afford to sacrifice, can't others either? You spent a lot of money to hire so many mercenaries, it should be of some use, I think the situation is very good now, you can make good use of the mercenaries and let them desperately release some tasks that don't seem to be particularly difficult, such as two gold coins for a rescued Cold Pear Country soldier, such as finding a way to delay or defeat the Ice Bear Country army, a head bounty of 10, I don't think this is a problem, the Cold Pear Country is not short of money. A word woke up the person in the dream, Cassel suddenly realized yes, he still has a lot of mercenaries in his hands, the money is gone, you can make more money, but it will shake the foundation of the rule, so you can't care about the embarrassed image, stand up and run outside, go to the mercenaries to issue tasks,
"Somla is still smart, you really deserve to be the nephew of Lord Kasuo, but it's a pity that it would be nice if you were from the cold pear country. When the liaison officer heard the news, he also looked at Somra with a smile in his eyes, and Somra just smiled indifferently and returned his attention to the book, even if the herald was a little fluttering, it seemed to him that those trapped robes would appear in front of him immediately,
"Can I interpret this as a mockery of me? It is not an honourable thing to have such an uncle. Somra said without looking up as she flipped through the magic book in her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are tasks that can fill your pockets now, of course we never treat those who have given us their lives, and the tasks are related to the battle ahead. Cassel stood on the high platform, below which were all the mercenaries he could find, and at this time his expression had recovered and he spoke eloquently,
"My lord, if you plan to give us a mission to die, don't say it, although we mercenaries want money and don't want to die, we don't want to have money to spend. Someone among the mercenaries waiting for the task to be released below shouted, and the mercenaries nodded thoughtfully,
"Rest assured, although this task is a little dangerous, but what you do is the difficulty of the knife head licking blood trading task, it is not unacceptable to you, okay, nonsense, I hope you can go to the front line to rescue our soldiers of the cold pear country, for each soldier rescued, reward 2 gold coins, 5 gold coins for an officer, as long as you don't want to die, you will be given as much as you want, in addition, if anyone's team can delay the progress of the ice bear country, delay a prayer 300 gold coins, delay 2 prayer hours 1000 gold coins, I cold pear country other not to mention the financial resources and beauties are the ice bear country can not give mercenaries, and we pay more attention to credibility, I hope you warriors will support a lot。 Cassel said loudly, his words made the mercenary groups from different countries and different races below whisper, buzzing like a noisy swarm of mosquitoes, but Cassel did not show impatience, he knew this
The "cake" will definitely be picked up by mercenaries, and sure enough, it didn't take long to wait, and an older mercenary leader took the lead in standing up: "My lord, our crazy monkey mercenary group has taken this job, my boys are not bad breeds, when will we leave The boys probably can't wait." ”
"Shh Hearing the leader of the mad monkey mercenary group say this, the mercenary group below let out an endless stream of inverted colors and boos, and some of them jumped up directly and mocked, the older mercenary group turned around and made a grimace and squeezed his eyes and did not refute, and then more mercenary groups stood up and expressed this task when they took it until there was no longer a mercenary group idle on the field, at least they all chose to fight to earn money under the herd mentality, and those who love to show themselves continue to pat their chests and brag about their great achievements to prove the reliability of their strength, but only the first person to eat crabs is called a warrior, isn't it?
So Cassel's impression was only that the old mercenary leader, the warrior group called the Mad Monkey, looking at a group of mercenaries who were howling and excitedly waving their weapons and laughing and rushing to the battlefield, Cassel showed a knowing smile, and sure enough, as Somla said, he mobilized mercenaries to participate in the war in another way, and the mercenaries went up, whether they wanted to or not, they would definitely attract the attention of a part of the Ice Bear Country's military forces, and when those greedy Ice Bear soldiers got more spoils from these mercenaries than those ordinary Cold Pear Country soldiers, can they stop it?
Obviously, Cassel didn't think that they would stop, and secondly, once they completed the mission, the soldiers of the Leng Pear Country who were rescued would be the next living force, and it would also enhance his Kasso's prestige, killing two birds with one stone, as for how many mercenaries would die, what did it matter, as long as it was not the people of the Leng Pear Country who died, just when Cassel was glad for the good news to come, a voice interrupted his conjecture,
"How do you deal with the seriously injured in your country?" A rough voice sounded behind him, Cassel looked back in astonishment, looked straight at a broad waist, tilted his head up, and found that a strong man two heads taller than himself was looking at him from a high position,
"Hey, there's still no one left, hey, big man, lower body, my neck is not good, and it hurts on my back. Cassel looked at the strong man who was crouching down with a helpless expression, and then he entered the role, and took a deep look at the person who seemed to want to remember the question, and he stared into his eyes for a long time and said softly, "Do it cheaply." The strong man looked a little weird and lowered his head, and nodded lightly for a while: "I know." Then he carried the big axe on his side and chased after the departing mercenary team without looking back, Cassel squinted at the figure who suddenly left the strong man and shouted: "Your name and the mercenary group you are in." ”
"I don't have a mercenary group, I only have one person, and they all call me Chief York. The strong man shouted without looking back, and a gust of wind blew his hoodie open, revealing the blue skin behind him.
"It's a blue man? interesting" Cassel sneered, what does it mean to act cheaply? cheap action is to save if you can save it, and if you can't save it or can't save it, then give up and treat it as if you didn't see it, York, who was on the road, took a bite of the jerky and spit it out, threw the jerky aside, and wiped his hands with his clothes
"Inhuman things, like this to their own people, want me to become cannon fodder? I'm not that stupid, but how can I delay the attack of the Ice Bear Country, it's so difficult for me to be alone, no, I have to find a companion." York muttered.
A general from the Cold Pear Country came to Cassel, looked at Somla who was still studying, and saluted slightly, and said to Cassel: "My lord, it is really a good move for you to send mercenaries, and those greedy guys in the Ice Bear Country must be more interested in these small human vaults, thus greatly reducing our losses." The general gave him a thumbs up
"First of all, I didn't come up with this idea, and secondly, if you came to me to make a fool of myself, I would remove you. Cassel said lightly with his hand behind his back, and the general's face stiffened
"Well, my lord, no, there are two news, our spies told us that a large number of undead mercenaries have joined the Ice Bear Country recently, but now their whereabouts are unknown, and the other news: Kenhalo in the stronghold we hired is now two days away from here, please make arrangements as soon as possible. The news stunned Cassel
"What? When will those guys in the Ice Bear Country also use mercenaries? Haven't they always believed in their own force, it's strange, no, this means that there must be something special about this undead army, so that those arrogant guys in the Ice Bear Country can accept it, and they have to guard against it, and let the spies pay close attention to this undead force, and report it as soon as there is news, as for Kenhallow's people, hey, this side must be over at that time, let them go directly to the vicinity of Frost Village." ”
"Yes, my lord," the general arched his hand,
"Why aren't you leaving?" Cassel skimmed him,
"My lord, this involves something else," the general said with some embarrassment, and Cassel frowned
"If you have a fart, let it go, you mean it, mother-in-law, mother-in-law. ”
"My lord, Kenhalo and they can go to the north, but they will definitely not find Frost Village, because it is said that their guide is dead, and now Kenhalo is going to the north with someone else's team. The general said helplessly,
"What? are you kidding me, why did this guide die?"
Kenhallow said that the guide was too aggressive in eating meat, and choked to death. The general said helplessly,
"Hahaha, this joke is not funny, you are really kidding me, this can't be true. Cassel's burst of laughter suddenly stopped abruptly and stared at the general with a gloomy face, and the general nodded awkwardly,
"Dio!" Cassel cursed as he walked back and forth in the room, and Somra smiled and put down the book in his hand and stood up.
"Uncle, don't be impatient, just let Kenhalo go directly to Fatu City, let's arrange a guide to greet you, it's not necessary, compared to the guide, Kenhallow's combat power that can join in time is more important. With that, Somra walked straight out of the tent and stretched.
"Of course I don't care about the guide, what I care about is that Kenhallow has given me such a reason to fool me. Cassel shook his head and said puffingly.
"You hear it all, do as Somra says. Cassel waved the general away.
"Big brother, do you say that if we use a knife against the people of the Ice Bear Country like this, will they hold a grudge against us? I don't want to beware of retaliation from the Ice Bear Country every time I come to the north. A young mercenary looked at the middle-aged man beside him who closed his eyes and asked, the middle-aged man didn't speak, but a mercenary next to him said mockingly: "Haha, at first glance, you are a newcomer, you think too much, we are mercenaries, what are mercenaries? Mercenaries are knives and tools, we are the weapons used by the big men to attack each other and create wounds, will you hold a grudge against the person who stabbed you with a knife or hate the knife." Hearing this, most of the mercenaries nodded thoughtfully, only the young mercenary seemed to be a little embarrassed by the mockery and retorted stubbornly: "But if this knife is not sharp enough, the person who uses the knife does not have the effect of stabbing and does not create the desired wound, the owner of the knife will hate the lack of sharpness of this knife, hey, big brother." As soon as he finished speaking, the young man received a slap on the head
"Don't talk nonsense, just make your own knives. After saying that, the middle-aged man closed his eyes again and recuperated,
"It's boring to talk to you. The mercenary next to him shook his head and rode forward on his mount.
"How's it going to do with what I've given you?" Nadek said indifferently as he looked at the team that had already lost a third of the team, and replied to him with the same indifference and ruthlessness: " My lord, get ready, now more than three hundred sergeants have become our people, and their commanders have not found out until now, those people under our control can immediately fight back and follow us out of the identity of members of the Ice Bear Country, in addition, the 200 skeleton warriors and 100 zombies that you asked me to bury near the Frost Village have been completed, and they are all covered with frozen soil and ice and snow, because they are buried very deeply, they cannot be pulled out of the ground without special summoning skills, this move will definitely make them a wonder soldier in our hands。 ”
"Very well, the necessary clumsiness is still needed, and it will break their hearts if our simple-minded and well-limbed allies see that we are not losing our strength in every battle, but that the number of battles is increasing. Nadek sneered,
"Giggles" Krama echoed the smile: "The undead don't need allies, they didn't have before, they don't now, and they don't need to have them in the future." Krama answered
"Narrow-minded!" Nadek stabbed Krama in the head with his finger,
"But I like it!" said the two undead who fell into a gloomy laugh again.
