Chapter Eighty-Seven: Acceptance

A team of more than 2,000 people would be too noisy if they left the city at the same time, and it was likely to attract the attention of the unscrupulous forces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After discussion, Maier and the others decided to let the troops go in batches.

The first to leave the city were 500 city guards and 500 militiamen on duty, as well as 50 Yishan's guards. On the afternoon of the 17th, Yishan gave them the order to go out of the city, and the messengers to the four evil witch girls were also sent during this time period.

Before the order was issued, the battle plan was almost ready. As Mel was busy sorting out the roster, he left the plan to the three of them. He Yan Zhiheng and He Yan Xinye did not participate in the discussion - to be precise, until they set off with the army, He Yan Zhiheng did not know that he wanted to go out this time to suppress the bandits.

Euris told Yishan and Lan Ning about the plan of action that the two had made before, but did not explain the reason, because Lan Ning was from the Rimi Shrine, and Euris couldn't trust her. Lan Ning felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan and expressed her support for it.

Since Euris and Maier's plan did not have anything to do with Yishan and Lanning, due to the lack of troops, many aspects of the plan were very cautious. Yishan has made changes to these links, and the success rate of the new plan is much higher than that of the old plan when there are enough personnel, but the pace of the new plan is also much faster than the old plan.

Mel and Euris were originally scheduled to march out on the 22nd, and although he sent someone to contact Kugi's companions on the afternoon of the 17th, in the original plan, Mel and Euris would not directly join them. Mel needs to select enough reliable people in her training to get them out and deal with the four evil witch teams.

The initial assembly location was not the stronghold of the 33rd Brigade of Jiumu, but the Great Rabbit Mountain. Uris and Maier have limited manpower, and in order to control the four groups of witches as soon as possible, they can only set up the assembly site in a place they are familiar with, so as not to cause any accidents.

But now the situation is different, Mel and the others have enough troops, and the total number of troops is close to three thousand when you count the miscellaneous servants, and it is easy to control the hundreds of evil witches. Mel doesn't have to pick someone to contact the other party at all, just take someone to meet with the other party.

So Maier followed Yishan's advice and only appeased the new subordinates and let them rest for the afternoon. On the morning of the 18th, Meier conducted a simple training for the new subordinates, mainly to test their physical fitness, and in the afternoon the training was for them to conduct simple military training. After lunch that day, Yishan led the escort cavalry and went out of the city with the witch army led by Lan Ning, and joined the troops who left the city first.

On the evening of the 18th, Maier and Uris led their men out of the city at night to join up with the large army. In the early morning of the 19th, He Yanxin and He Yan Zhiheng set off with 200 guards and 100 miscellaneous servants under the banner of a caravan, carrying grain and grass, and it was already noon on the 19th when they joined the large army.

After this, He Yan Zhiheng knew that He Yan Xinye's so-called "father entrusted us to send a trip to Yaolin City" was a lie. As soon as he heard that he was going to fight, he immediately collapsed in the car and let Yan Xinye fiddle with it.

Although there were some minor accidents on the way, the bandit troops arrived safely at the target location and began to set up camp.

The troops who suppressed the bandits came from different forces and were led by different people, and when they set up camp, they each chose their own camping sites, and they could not be too far apart. Yishan sent people to set up a large tent at the junction of several camps for deliberations.

When the troops were camping, Meier looked at the girls who were busy in his camp, and his heart was very relieved.

The army was weak and loyal, but they were the first real force in Meier's hands. Kugi Thirty-three assures Maier that she will convince her companions to accept Maier's incorporation after they come to join her, so that Maier will have an army of several hundred men.

Under Gray's teaching, Mel knows that soldiers are not many but fine. There is no doubt that this force formed by the recruitment of evil witches is a rabble, weak in combat, and will become less loyal when new recruits are mixed in, and Mair does not want such a force.

What he wants is a force that is loyal to him and "one man is like a thousand, and a thousand people are like one". Unbeknownst to Maier now, his way of thinking is rapidly moving closer to that of the aristocracy. He began to crave power, breed ambition, look ahead, look for suitable goals, develop strength, and wait for opportunities.

And this transformation is destined to lead Mel to the path that belongs only to him.

The new plan is better than the old one, but the new plan also has the disadvantage that the goal is too big. The camp of thousands of people was easily discovered, and in order to keep the Black Shrine from suspicion, Uris proposed a remedy - to show that she was here to suppress the bandits, and to send a small force to search for traces of the Witch in the vicinity, and if she found the Witch's stronghold, she would breach it, so as to conceal her true purpose.

The 500 militiamen were prepared for this measure. But militia alone cannot build up combat effectiveness, and if there is no one to lead, they are likely to be driven all over the mountain by the evil witch. To this end, Yishan selected a hundred people from the city guards, and selected five people from the escort cavalry to lead them, and let them elect the commander of the troops.

The 100 city guards were divided into five teams by the escort cavalry, each team of twenty people, with a hundred militiamen, led by one escort cavalry, exactly five teams, and not under each other, and the command of the troops still belonged to Yishan. After setting up the camp, the five troops in charge of the trick set off in five directions, and one of them ran into the evil witch who had come to surrender after walking a short distance.

The group of people and horses saw hundreds of people "rushing" over from a distance, and they couldn't help but panic. Fortunately, the escort cavalry in charge of commanding the troops was quite calm, and when he saw that although the person who came was wearing a black and white witch costume, he was not wearing a ghost mask, so he immediately led the army back and reported the matter to Yishan.

When the cavalry came back to report, Maier and the others were having a meeting in the tent, and the cavalry could only run to the tent and delay some time. At this time, the sentry of the camp had already discovered the evil witch who had come to surrender and raised an alarm, and the camp immediately became in turmoil, with shouts and the sound of weapons clashing one after another.

As soon as the cavalry of the convoy reached the tent, Maier had just come out of the tent and was bumped into the tall cavalry, and almost fell on his head.

"Mistress Meyer?!"

The cavalry guards knew Meier, and after he hit someone, he quickly held on to the other party, took two steps back, and apologized respectfully.

"It's okay." Mel smiled disapprovingly, "What's going on?" ”

"It was supposed that the sentinels had spotted a group of hundreds of women, dressed in black and white witch costumes and without ghost masks. Or maybe you've found another enemy. The cavalry replied in a proper manner.

"Oh?"

Maier thought that it was probably Kugi Thirty-three's companion who led the team to surrender, and quickly poked his head into the tent and shouted.

"It seems that someone who defected to Cheng is here!"

Before the people in the tent could react, he ran alone in the direction of the alarm.

Since the commander-in-chief of the units had not yet given orders to the troops, the men in the camps only took up arms and assembled, and did not go into battle. Maier walked through the tents to a high slope outside the camp, just in time to see several patrolling cavalry escorts "surrounding" hundreds of unmasked witches.

In order to prove that they were not hostile, the witches laid down their weapons under the leadership of the captain, after which one of the cavalry guards drove their horses in the direction of the camp, apparently returning to report the news.

Mel immediately returned to his camp, gathered his troops, and went out to pick up the men. After Yishan and Euris learned the news, they quickly chased after each of them with a sufficient number of subordinates, and Lanning also brought all the war witches to follow, and intercepted Mel before he could meet with those evil witches.

"You're in too much of a hurry! What are you doing with these people? ”

Yishan, who galloped on horseback, was the first to arrive, but the feet of the ancients were not slow, and as soon as Yishan's words fell, Euris appeared in front of Maier out of breath.

"I ...... I know you...... Very...... It's a pleasure...... But...... But...... We're not sure they'll surrender yet...... You bring such a few people over...... What should I do if I am plotted? ”

If Yishan's appearance surprised Meier, then Uris's appearance shocked him.

Her speed is only one line slower than that of a war horse!

Mel knew that the point of the matter was not here, so after spitting a groove in his heart, he apologized to the two.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't think about it. But you don't have to stop me yourself, and while nothing will happen near the camp, I'll be very worried if you go alone in the wilderness. ”

As soon as Yishan and Euris heard the word "worried", their faces turned red as soon as they "brushed".

"Burden, burden...... Lose sleep over something? Why are you worried about me? ”

"Hmm...... I'm sorry, I won't be like this next time. ”

The words of the two were spoken almost simultaneously, and Mel did not know which one to answer first.

"Uh...... This ......"

Fortunately, at this time, Yishan's escort cavalry arrived, and Yulis's personal guard maid, Lan Ning and the war witch team, and more than a hundred city guards were also clearly visible.

"Let's get down to business first."

Mel's behavior of diverting the topic made the two girls a little dissatisfied, but they could only follow Maier to meet the four evil witches. Mel and his party of more than 500 people walked mightily towards the place where the evil witch was staying.

Where have the witches ever seen this? On weekdays, they can see dozens of guards or officers and soldiers, and they already feel a lot, so the oncoming "multinational coalition army" gives them considerable pressure.

The four captains soon saw Kuki Thirty-Three at the front of the group, and Kugi Thirty-Three also saw them, but she didn't dare to greet her friends because Maier was right next to her. Mel and his party stopped at a distance of about thirty meters from the witches, and the accompanying crossbowmen immediately lined up to face the enemy, while the cavalry joined the encirclement of the witches, and their actions put more pressure on the witches.

After everyone had stood still, Maier took three steps forward. Kugi Thirty-three and Kiki followed behind him, and Yishan, Euris and Lanning all stood still.

"I'm Mel? Byrons, the master of Kugi 33 and his men, where is your commander? ”

When the four captains heard this, they could only take three steps forward in the same way as Mel did, and stood opposite him. The four of them introduced themselves in turn, and then Jiumu Twenty-five explained their intentions.

Since the witches had already laid down their weapons, there was no reason for Maier and the others not to believe their words. After Maier accepted their request for incorporation, Yishan and Euris did not remove the crossbowmen and cavalry. The two of them walked up behind Mair and told him to tell the witches to pick up their weapons and stand in their respective groups.

After the witches carried out Myr's orders, the two withdrew the crossbowmen and cavalry. They first sent a team of infantry to lead the way, let one of the evil witch brigades follow, then sent a team of their own people to follow, and then let another evil witch team follow, and so on, with Mel and the others coming last.

After placing the witches in the camp that had been prepared, Yishan and Euris each left a team of people to help guard them, and then the reception operation was officially over.
