The wind was blowing, and there was a little drizzle, which made it even more cold.

On the top of a barren mountain, there is an abandoned temple. The temple had fallen into disrepair and was already in tatters. Half of the door panels of the gate were missing, and the roof was even more broken with a few holes, and the fine rain fell down, bringing a burst of coolness.

On the high platform inside, I don't know which god was originally enshrined. Most of the earthen statues have fallen off, and the head has long since disappeared, making it impossible to explore.

It's remote and uninhabited, and the only temple that can be visited is so dilapidated and barely sheltered from the wind and rain that even beggars and vagrants don't want to stay overnight.

But who would have thought that under this dilapidated temple, there is something else.

"Big brother, the old thief Kevin led an army of 10,000 miles, chasing and beating us like a mad dog, biting us to death. The brothers were undaunted in their resistance. However, there is a huge disparity in strength, and the supply of weapons and equipment is far inferior to that of the other party, so it is really powerless to resist. Now that the war situation is critical, please make a quick decision with my eldest brother. ”

In the underground secret room, a big man who was two meters tall, with a strong body and no hair on his head said anxiously.

The eldest brother directly opposite him was a middle-aged man who looked to be about 40 years old. But he has silver white hair, not even a single black hair, and some people believe that he is 60 years old.

The eldest brother frowned, turned his head to the side and asked.

"Second brother, what do you have in mind?"

The one who was called the second brother was the advisor of everyone, with three long whiskers fluttering, quite the taste of fairy wind bones.

"We have dealt with the Riga army countless times since the incident. has been circling until now, relying on the understanding of the geographical advantage, and the whereabouts are erratic, leaving the enemy helpless. But this time, for some reason, Kevin's old horseman actually found our lurking main force and led the troops to attack, but now he can only fight and retreat, and under the leadership of the fourth brother, he fled here. ”

Before the eldest brother could speak, the big sturdy bald head couldn't help but scream.

"I said second brother, don't analyze the situation now, you hurry up and think of a way, get an idea!"

The second brother had a wry smile on his face: "Third brother, do you think I am an immortal and can do anything?" Originally, if you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you can escape, but if you can't even escape......"

The second brother shook his head and did not continue. But the people in the underground chamber all had dark faces, and they understood what he didn't say.

If you can't escape, you must surrender or die. What else?

The eldest brother looked unwilling, and muttered, "Is there really no way?" ”

His two brothers looked at each other, and they both shook their heads and sighed.

Suddenly, the door of the secret room slid open silently, and several people slowly walked in.

The barren mountains and mountains here are very remote, and the secret room is cleverly designed and very hidden. In addition, there are people secretly lurking outside to monitor the four directions, and they will immediately warn if there is any abnormal movement, so the brothers are not panicked, and they are not worried about being discovered by the enemy, but they are sure that they are their own people.

The three of them looked at each other, and sure enough, the one who came first was their fifth child.

The third child was impulsive, he couldn't hide his words in his heart, seeing that the fifth child had a happy look on his face, he couldn't help but shout: "You don't know the current situation, you can still laugh because of the fifth." ”

The boss calmed down a lot, and when he glanced at it, he found that the two people who followed the fifth child were actually fresh faces, looking at their outfits, they didn't look like local people.

"Fifth brother, who are these two friends?"

A group of like-minded brothers rose up together in an attempt to restore the country. Everyone understands each other's character and character. This secret room, even their subordinates, many people don't know. The fifth brother is not a person who does not know the importance of things, and he will definitely not bring irrelevant strangers here.

The fifth brother was full of joy and introduced it to everyone in a cheerful tone.

"Brothers, let me introduce you. This is the young proprietor of the Hilton family of the glorious empire, Mr. Owen. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to a young man on his left.

The third child muttered in a low voice: "Owen of the Hilton family? Who's that? ”

Although he was quiet, the people in the secret room could still hear it easily. Hearing this, Owen's brows furrowed slightly, and then quickly stretched out again.

After a year of training, his mind is no longer the same as before, and he will not be angry because of such a small rudeness.

The white-haired eldest brother was not as lonely as his third brother, so he quickly stood up and said enthusiastically.

"It turned out to be Mr. Owen, and I'm glad to be there! I have long heard that the Hilton family has devoted their entire family strength to supporting and helping the glorious empire against the invasion of the Riga Empire. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up great profits, and was crowned a patriotic merchant by the king of your country. Ordinary people say that businessmen only care about chasing profits, regardless of other things. A benevolent and righteous businessman like the Hilton family who serves the country and the people is indeed a rare outlier, and our brothers are very admired. ”

The old third brother reminded him that it was the Hilton family, and said apologetically to Owen: "It turned out to be that patriotic businessman from the glorious empire, I'm sorry, Mr. Owen." My third child is lonely and unheard, but the patriotic businessmen of the glorious empire still know. The eldest brother is right, a businessman like you who understands righteousness is indeed worthy of admiration. If all the merchants, nobles, and others of the Principality of Tulu could have been like the Hilton family, dedicated to the country and defending their homeland, how could the Rigas invade our country so easily. ”

Owen also bowed his hand and didn't think it was wrong.

He also saw that this tall and strong third child was a straight intestine, and he had never heard of it before. Now when I say I admire the Hilton family, I really admire it.

A man with such a true temperament is the best to deal with.

The little unhappiness of the two sides when they first met immediately disappeared.

The fifth brother secretly wiped a handful of sweat, and secretly said that this third brother can really offend people anywhere with one mouth. Mr. Owen and their help were hard to find, and if they were so provoked and walked away, the brothers would really cry to death.

"There is also this one, under the command of General Anthony of the Glorious Empire, Mr. Lin Zhifeng."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room shook.

Nowadays, in the countries of the Ostronian continent, Anthony's three words have a very loud reputation. In the Riga Empire, the name is like a curse, representing a series of defeats and the fall of famous generals.

For the brothers who bear the humiliation of the destruction of their family and the country, Anthony not only makes them both respectful and admired, but also has a special meaning.

The enemy's enemy can generally become friends, and now the **** and the glorious empire are dealing with the Riga Empire, as a general, Anthony, at this moment sent his men to contact them, the meaning of the inside, I can't help but think about it a few people, not excited.

"Please be seated, please be seated, two distinguished guests, please take a seat!"

As the leader, the eldest brother hurriedly beckoned Lin Zhifeng and Owen to take a seat.

The second brother looked at the fifth brother with inquiry in his eyes. The fifth brother knew what he wanted, and nodded solemnly.

The second brother received a hint of affirmation, and even if he was always calm, he couldn't help but get excited. I only feel that the desperate situation is reborn and hope is rekindled.

Everyone sat around, and the eldest brother asked.

"General Anthony is like a god with his soldiers, and he has defeated many famous generals such as Schindler, Franci, and Dino of the Riga Empire in a row, and we admire it very much. My Duchu Principality is as deep as the sea with the Riga Empire, and I don't share the sky, but I have the same goal as the general. I wonder if there is anything we can do to work together? ”

Lin Zhifeng looked kind, but he was more like a businessman than Owen.

"The big leader is quick to talk, and I won't go around in circles with you. This time, I came on the orders of the great general to provide the best help to the great chief's revenge **** to fight against the brutal rule and oppression of the Riga Empire. ”

The brothers glanced at each other, and they all saw a strong surprise in each other's eyes.

Although they had expected it before, when Lin Zhifeng really said it, they still couldn't suppress their excitement.

The eldest brother blushed, and then asked, "I don't know what Mr. Lin Zhifeng said about help, what exactly are the helpers?" ”

The brothers all nodded secretly and listened intently.

No matter how nice it sounds, it's better to have something practical. Especially when the **** has reached the end of the mountain, it needs some help that can be used immediately.

Owen watched quietly, a smile on his lips.

Acting so urgently, from the perspective of doing business, these brothers have completely fallen into a passive situation. But it's understandable that the little money they have finally accumulated is about to be swept away by another Riga famous Kevin, can they not be in a hurry?

Now Owen has no special feelings about the so-called famous Riga generals, anyway, under Anthony, there is no difference from the fate of other generals.

On the other hand, Lin Zhifeng was also unhurried.

"I know the leaders are now at war with Kevin of the Riga Empire......"

Hearing this, the bald third child's face turned red.

Lin Zhifeng is putting gold on their faces, don't look at the resounding **** name, in fact, there are more than a thousand people, where do they dare to go to war with the regular army led by the famous generals of the Riga Empire. What I usually do the most is harassment, sneak attacks, and troublemaking.

“…… Weapons and armor and other equipment are definitely needed. Therefore, we prepared 100 sets of heavy armor, 200 sets of half-body armor, 400 sets of light armor, 1,000 steel swords, and 600 longbows for the leaders. ”

This time, not only is the straightforward third boss with his mouth open, but his saliva is almost left. Even the eldest brother, who has always been calm, has bright eyes and shortness of breath.

They had more than 1,000 men under their command, which was certainly not worth mentioning compared to the strength of the entire Riga Empire. But it has always been a small fight as if it was an itch for the enemy, and once an army came to strangle it, it immediately ran away, more because of the lack of good equipment.

If Lin Zhifeng wasn't joking, then the things he provided were enough to arm the vast majority of the Fu **** people, and the combat effectiveness would immediately climb up a few levels. Even if it can't compete head-on with a star like Kevin, at least it has more maneuver power.

The boss was about to speak, but Lin Zhifeng suddenly added.

"There are many, and 200 war horses. There are so many things that I forgot to miss all of a sudden, so I'm sorry. ”

The boss had a long mouth and a bald expression, and he was speechless.

The first to wake up from the surprise was the second brother of the strategist.

"General Anthony is so helpful and helps me restore the Principality of Tulu, I don't know what the conditions are?"

As soon as the second brother said this, the brothers immediately came to their senses.

Yes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Although the enemy of the enemy is a friend, there must be some strings attached to such a strong help and support.

Looking at the brothers who were dumbfounded, Lin Zhifeng smiled faintly.

"Our general said that since everyone is going to fight the Riga Empire, we should help each other."

The eldest brother and the second brother had doubts in their eyes, and they didn't believe it.

Sure enough, Lin Zhifeng still has a later text.

"But the second leader was wrong just now, we are just helping everyone fight against the Riga Empire, not to help you restore the country."

The eldest brother raised his eyebrows, and Huo Ran got up.

The big bald head didn't understand the meaning yet, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”

The second brother held back his anger and explained: "What this Mr. Lin Zhifeng means is that we will help the Brilliant Empire defeat the hungry wolf of the Riga Empire, and then welcome the arrival of the great general's Yum Lion, and from then on, the Brilliant Empire will rule this land." Hum! ”

The last word hummed to show the dissatisfaction and anger of the strategist.

The big bald head listened, stood up with a huff, and glared at Lin Zhifeng fiercely.

"Antonino's great name, Lao Tzu thought that he sent someone to sincerely help us restore the country. I didn't expect it, it turned out to be the idea of beating our Duchu Principality. What is the difference between what you are doing and the aggressive Riga Empire? ”

The big bald head is tall and strong, and it is even more terrifying to get angry. But Lin Zhifeng was not afraid at all, but sighed.

"Alas, Dou Mien, Shengmi Qiu, the general really didn't say anything wrong."

The boss's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to stop the angry third.

"What does Mr. Lin Zhifeng mean by that?"

Lin Zhifeng turned his head and looked at the boss without evasion.

"Dare to ask the big leader, if we don't come today, can you resist the Riga army led by Kevin?"

The boss hesitated for a moment, but still said, "No." ”

Lin Zhifeng asked again: "That big leader thinks that with your current strength, can you successfully restore the country?" ”

The boss had a bitter look on his face: "I can't." ”

"Without our presence, the Riga Empire will continue to rule the land. Our arrival will not only increase your strength and chances of survival, but also help you take revenge on the Riga Empire. But you don't see any of this, and you just accuse us of usurping your land. ”

The bitterness on the boss's face became even stronger, what Lin Zhifeng said he didn't know in his heart? But how easy is it to let him accept it calmly?

"But aren't you taking advantage of the fire?" The second brother couldn't help but interject.

Lin Zhifeng looked at him with a solemn face.

"May I ask the second leader, the history of the existence of the Principality of Tulu is only more than 700 years. Before that, who did this land belong to? ”

The second brother stopped talking, he already understood what Lin Zhifeng meant.

"The change of dynasties and the change of rulers is nothing new in the history of the mainland. The land beneath our feet is not destined to belong to the Principality of Tulu. The Riga Empire has defeated you and taken your land, and you certainly have reason to hate it. But if the Glorious Empire defeats the Riga Empire and drives them out to become the new owners of the land, it has little to do with the Principality of Tulu. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Zhifeng stood up and walked out slowly. Without saying a word, Owen followed behind him.

"Admittedly, helping you can also relieve us of a little pressure. However, it is only a little stressful. Without you, the General would still be able to sweep across the Riga Empire. But without our help, it is a question of whether you can continue to survive or not, let alone the restoration of the country. Lin Zhifeng said that, where to go, the leaders should consider it for themselves! Leave! ”

The eldest brother and the second brother were stunned on the spot, and the fifth brother in charge of liaison hesitated for a while, wanting to keep people, but he didn't dare to speak easily.

"Big brother, I think he has a point."

Unexpectedly, it was the third child who was angry just now.

Several brothers turned their heads to look at him together, and the big bald head also thought clearly, and said loudly at the moment.

"We know our own affairs, and when we say that we are recovering the country, we are actually just venting our anger against the Riga Empire. After so many years, the hope of recovering the country is getting slimmer and slimmer, and even our compatriots are gradually accepting the rule of the Riga Empire. Now that the Duchy of Tulu is destined to be a thing of the past, why don't we accept the conditions of a glorious empire. In any case, whoever becomes the master of this land is better than the Riga Empire. ”

The eldest brother and the second brother smiled bitterly at each other, and both shook their heads.

In vain, they pride themselves on being smart, but they are not as bright as the straight-hearted old three.

The mainland's struggle for hegemony relies on strength, and there is no benevolence or righteousness at all. The Principality of Tulu had no ability, could not hold its own country, and was seized by others. But if you can't grab it back, you can't grab it yourself, but you don't allow others to grab it, which makes a bit of sense.

What Lin Zhifeng said just now is right, this land is not destined to belong to the Principality of Tulu, and they are too self-centered to accuse it.

Now that he has thought it through, the eldest brother will no longer hesitate.

"Mr. Lin Zhifeng, Mr. Owen, please stay!"

Lin Zhifeng and Owen had just walked to the door of the secret room, and when they heard the words, they turned around with a smile on their faces.

They also heard the words of the bald third child just now.

"Believe me, Great Chief, you will be glad for today's decision in the future."
