After Long Linghan proposed the deal, Li Qing did not make a decision immediately.

Although he didn't know what level of treasure the snake metamorphosis and natural gem of the Peerless Great Snake were, since it could be taken out by Long Linghan as a reward for killing Isohime, it would never be an ordinary thing.

Isohime is a sea monster of the Pillar Country, and she is especially powerful in the sea. If you use ordinary treasures as a reward for killing Isohime, it is not called reward, it is called revenge.

Especially those two treasures, which are obviously aimed at Ni Yuanyuan and Scarlett, the snake metamorphosis of the peerless snake, should be able to strengthen Ni Yuanyuan's bloodline talent. Natural gemstones certainly have a big effect on Scarlett.

Li Qing sighed secretly in his heart, Long Linghan deserved to be a general who could command a fleet, and his mind was really not simple.

If she promised a treasure that would be useful to Li Qing, Li Qing might be able to resist the ****.

But she first promised to protect Ni Yuanyuan and Scarlett personally, and then promised two treasures that would be of great use to them, which clearly saw that Li Qing had a close relationship with the second daughter, and that Li Qing could not refuse.

How many heroes, in order to fight the beauty of a smile, do not hesitate to throw their heads and spill blood, and even the princes of the beacon fire, want the beauty not to be the country?

As a man, the younger and hotter he is, the more impulsive and reckless he will be, and the more he will not be a little cowardly in front of beauties!

Especially what Long Linghan proposed, let Li Qing help the beautiful merman girls. And heroes save beauty, almost every man with a little blood is willing to do.

can not only save the beauty of heroes, but also exchange for the safety of the female companion, show bravery in front of the female companion, and earn practical treasures for the two of them.

It was Li Qing, although he did not immediately agree to the deal, but he did not categorically refuse.

He groaned for a while, looked at Long Linghan and said, "General, when the merman reconnoitred before, did he not find the existence of Isohime?" ”

"Not bad." Long Linghan said: "Although the merman is the daughter of the sea, it is impossible to sneak within a sea of the fleet, otherwise it will be discovered by the strong of the enemy fleet." And the distance of one nautical mile is enough for Isohime to avoid the detection of the merman. ”

Li Qing said slowly: "In other words, because of intelligence mistakes, the general mistakenly thought that he was sure of victory, so he took the initiative to find the Amaterasu fleet to fight. It wasn't until Isohime appeared that he realized that the odds were already insufficient? ”

Li Qing's words were not polite, and even bordered on questioning.

He did have the intention of questioning. Helping the merman, he is not against it. It would naturally be better to let Ni Yuanyuan and Scarlett get Long Linghan's personal protection and get a good reward.

It's just that this battle was provoked by Long Linghan. Until now, he actually asked him, a mercenary who joined halfway, to take on the heavy responsibility of dealing with the enemy's strongest water force, which made him wonder if Long Linghan really had the qualifications to be a general.

If it is determined that she is not qualified, then he will still follow this task and complete it with all his might. In exchange for treasures that are of great use to Ni Yuanyuan and Scarlett.

However, after this battle is over, he will inevitably leave with Su Su and the others to find another suitable target.

Otherwise, if one is not good, I am afraid that I will be dragged to death by Long Linghan - the so-called one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. In any case, Li Qing was unwilling to serve under an incompetent general.

In the face of Li Qing's unceremonious, almost questioning question, Long Linghan did not get angry.

She saw Li Qing's intentions, so she said in a calm tone: "No one dares to say that they are sure that they will win every battle. is a peerless general, he has a tenfold advantage, and he doesn't dare to be so arrogant. and those who are arrogant will bring about their own destruction. Therefore, even before the start of the war, Ben only thought that he could fight, but did not make a bold statement of victory. ”

After a pause, she said lightly: "War is like this, the enemy and us scout each other, deceive each other, and mislead each other by sending false news. No one dares to say that they have 100% information about the enemy. This is basically the case for any battle of a slight scale.

"Even after the battle starts, it cannot be said that you fully understand the details of the enemy. Who knows what killer weapon the other party still holds in his hand? Who knows when the other party will give you an unexpected surprise? ”

She looked at Li Qing with calm eyes, and said slowly: "War, like gambling, has a certain element of luck. All we can do for generals is to try to be as prepared as possible, to minimize the element of luck, and to try not to let luck dictate success or failure. ”

Regarding Long Linghan's statement, Li Qing can still understand.

In Chinese history, are there any examples of the defeat of peerless famous generals? Ubiquitous. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who has not tasted defeat since his debut, killed himself after Wujiang. Lu Bu, who claimed to be the unparalleled leader of the cavalry, was hanged in the White Gate Tower after the most reluctance. The flooded Seventh Army, Guan Erye, who shocked Huaxia, was defeated in Maicheng after the most defeat.

So no one dares to say that they will never be defeated, even if they are peerless.

Is there anyone who has a tenfold advantage over the enemy, so arrogance breeds, and finally defeats? There are also. Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, and the former Qin Fu Jian who "threw the whip and broke the stream...... These are the best examples.

Even if they are ten times superior to the enemy, there is a possibility of defeat, so who on both sides that are close to each other's forces will dare to say that they will win?

It's just that, in many cases, you don't have to be absolutely sure to start a war. If that were the case, nine out of nine wars would not have been fought. Most of the time, it feels like it's almost possible to fight, and then it's time to go to war.

This is not that policymakers are irresponsible. Many times, war is inevitable and has to be fought. Instead of passively waiting for the enemy to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative. At least they can take the initiative to start a war in their own hands.

As for the outcome of the battle, it can only be determined who is more prepared and who makes fewer mistakes in the battle.

"I can agree with what the general said." Li Qing nodded and agreed with Long Linghan's words.

He said in his heart that as a general, Long Linghan seemed to be still sober, not the kind of mediocre general who was greedy for merit. However, he still had a question in his heart, and asked directly at the moment: "Since after Isohime appeared, the general still asked to continue fighting, which means that the general is far from the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and he must still have a killer weapon in his hand."

"In that case, why didn't the general come forward? And why do you want me to deal with Isohime? I'm just a warrior in the middle of the silver section, and Isohime is a sea monster of the Pillar Country, fighting in the sea, invincible at the same level, why does the general think that he can help the mermaids below? ”

Long Linghan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and said, "The confrontation between the two armies is different from the duel between the strong. Many times, between the two armies, whoever can't hold back the killer move first, who will almost fail - without the killer weapon, it is equivalent to the time of gambling, a handful of pressure on the most difficult capital, whether to win or lose, can only pray for luck, and there is no room for a turnaround.

"So if it weren't for you, even if all the mermaids were killed in battle, before the enemy army did their best, Ben would never have won first. But now that you're here, I'm going to put you to good use.

"You must know that the entire shark clan has a total population of only about 100,000. Since the start of the all-out war, the mermen have sacrificed tens of thousands of people, and the population of the whole clan has plummeted. In order to win the national war, although he can do whatever it takes and sacrifice at any cost, he still has to save as many as possible if he can save a few more mermaids. As for what to choose for you......"

As she said this, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

In that flash of light, Li Qing only felt that his vision was slightly dazed. In that trance, he felt as if he had seen a strange scene—he seemed to see that Long Linghan's eyes had turned into golden vertical pupils like snake eyes.

But this spectacle was fleeting, and when he looked at it again, he didn't see anything unusual. Although Long Linghan's eyes were calm to almost cold, they were also a pair of normal black pupils.

Just as he was wondering why he was suddenly in a trance, and even hallucinated, Li Qing listened to Long Linghan continue: "On the surface, your strength is indeed only in the middle of silver. But Ben will see in you an unfathomable potential. ”

She stared at Li Qing and said meaningfully: "Ben will not intend to probe your details, but Ben will believe that you have enough ability to help the mermaid and even kill Isohime." ”

At this point, it was determined that Long Linghan was not a mediocre general, and Li Qing had nothing to say.

As for why she thought she could kill Isohime, Li Qing was puzzled, but just like Long Linghan said, she wouldn't probe into his details, and he naturally couldn't get to the bottom of it.

"I need another weapon." Li Qing's words are tantamount to acquiescing in agreeing to fight, "I want a long knife or a long sword." ”

"I'll lend you this knife." Long Linghan held the command knife flat with one hand and handed it to Li Qing: "This is the spirit weapon treasure knife that my father left me. The name of the knife is Dragon Tooth, there is nothing special about it, it is extremely sharp and indestructible. This kind of high-level officer armor on your body can easily be cut in two. The flesh of a pillar country-level powerhouse can't stop the edge of the sword. ”

The officer's armor on Li Qing's body has a defensive power equivalent to a 15-centimeter-thick homogeneous steel plate. This dragon's tooth treasure knife can actually put one knife and two pieces on the earth, and it can be used to cut tanks.

Li Qing drew his knife out of the sheath. As soon as the blade was exposed, a cold chill spread in all directions.

The cold air was like substance, and when they were rushed by the cold, the guards on the command platform seemed to be blown by the ice wind of the nine cold days, and they all shivered, and Ni Yuanyuan and Scarlett also had goosebumps all over their bodies.

Only Long Linghan and Li Qing were unmoved and did not react.

Li Qing took out the treasure knife, held the handle of the knife, and looked at it carefully.

I saw this dragon tooth treasure knife, the shape is quite similar to the Chinese Tang knife, the blade is cyan, like a flood of autumn water. The edge of the blade looms, and with a slight shake, it spits out an inch-long knife, just like the legendary Gangqi, giving people a sense of sharpness that is as sharp as clay and indestructible.

When staring at the sword, Li Qing even had the illusion that even his line of sight had been dissected.

Between his eyebrows was more like he had been pricked by a needle, and the knife was faintly painful. He knew that this was a warning of danger made by his body's instincts, which meant that this knife could easily split his head and cut off his head.

Fortunately, the knife is now in his hand.

"Good knives." Li Qing sighed in admiration, put the knife back into its sheath, hung the scabbard on his belt, and nodded slightly at Long Linghan, "General Xie borrowed the knife." Then I'm going to fight! ”

After speaking, he smiled at Ni Yuanyuan and Scarlett, held an eight-sided sledgehammer in his left hand, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, strode down the command platform, walked to the side of the ship in a few steps, jumped to the sea.

After that, he landed like thunder, stepped on the surface of the sea with waves the size of a water tank, and rushed towards the battlefield between the merman and Isohime with the thumping sound of war drums.
