"Richard, are you sure!" Anne's voice trembled, sweat dripping from the sides of her delicate nose.

"Ten out of ten dare not say, three out of ten do. "Richard bragged that he never played drafts, because if he did them, he would fall behind, which would prevent the master from playing at his real level.

Anne held her forehead, the style of the lord of Alpine Fort always made her feel that she was a gambler, but in fact...... She herself doesn't like people who are small and big.

Or that is the nature of a businessman, as long as it is profitable enough, he cannot afford to take risks.

"Richard, I join this operation on behalf of the Voya Firm. Anne understands that her mentality at the moment is distorted, greedy, and a natural portrayal of people dying for money.

She struggled, but was relieved. A businessman's pursuit of profit is like a warrior's pursuit of honor, which is just and beyond reproach.

The lord turned his back to Anne and looked into the distance, leaving a calm and calm back, "Happy cooperation." ”

He had to turn around, for if he didn't, Anne would see the snickering on his face.

The whole class of Gao Shan Castle starred in the morning, and the fish finally took the bait. There is only one miracle in this world, and that is the natural step of hard preparation.

For the lord, the entry of the Lavoya Comptoir is of great significance. The mercenary team of more than 100 people is an important reason, but it is secondary, and the really indispensable factor is actually Annie-

"If you don't coax her, how can we hook up with the dwarves. Before leaving, Richard secretly convened a regular meeting of the leaders of the territorial guards, which was regarded as giving them a briefing before the war and unifying their thoughts.

The leaders of the guards, who had sat around the table, nodded vigorously and made a sudden realization.

"Let's figure it out, what is our purpose?" Richard sat on the table, his eyes glancing around the faces of the patroller.

"Occupy the mine. Gunther hastened to say he knew.

"What do you think of this idea?" The light in the nest was dim, and the lord bowed his head and poured himself a cup of tea.

His head hung so low that the others couldn't see the lord's expression clearly.

The barbarians hurriedly seized the opportunity to slap the horses, and the centaurs couldn't let go at first, and soon they were as good as flowing, and there was a big posture of latecomers.

What "has both the cunning of the snow fox and the courage of the ice bear", what "has both the courage of the emperor and the strategy of the emperor", what is "far-sighted, unique and long-term", there is a happy atmosphere in the nest.

The lord held a teacup and listened to the sycophants for half an hour, and then gave this group of sycophants a kick.

"A bunch of silly donkeys!" Richard slammed his cup down on the table, and the tea splashed.

"Think you're all the gods of war, and you still occupy the mines, see if you can, what are the chances of winning if we fill in all the mountain forts?" The lord didn't wait for them to answer, he first raised an index finger and shook it.

"One percent, one percent at most, or even less!"

The head and face were scolded, and the leaders of the guards were collectively silent.

They are not stupid, of course they know that participating in this meat grinder-like melee with their own troops is a huge disadvantage.

The reason why he had always seemed confident was because he firmly believed that the invincible lord must have a way. Now that the soap bubble had been punctured by the lords themselves, they inevitably felt heavy.

Or Hurt will look at the wind, and take a stubble at the right time, "My lord, then there are so few of us, why do we still want to go?"

"Strategic vision, I've emphasized strategic vision many times. Richard took the opportunity to teach these future officers a lesson, "It is precisely because of our small number of men that we have to wade into troubled waters." If there are a thousand warriors in the mountain fort who can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the truth is that there are only a hundred, then you have to go in and walk by yourself. ”

"I've told Gunther before that when a big tribe goes south, a dog fat carp is thrown into a pond, and if a small tribe wants to reshuffle the cards, it's just going south. Richard tapped Gunther on the shoulder, who was touching the back of his head with a confused expression.

"Your Excellency did say that. Hurt's expression was convincing at first glance, and he quietly pulled Gunther's hand from behind his back, which was touching the back of his head.

"Once there is an iron mine, any tribe that is not stupid will grow in size like wings. Richard crossed his hands around his chest, his eyes glowing in the darkroom, "He's too close to us." ”

"Dwarves who like to live by themselves behind closed doors are fine, but if it is a tyrannical tribe like the bear people, it expands. How can we survive if we have a net in a pond?"

Richard's gaze swept over the faces, the leaders straightened their waists and clenched their fists.

The more powerful the person, the stronger the sense of territory, and coincidentally, they all happen to be.

In the face of a sudden threat, their first reaction is definitely to break the south wall, rather than retreat and find another way.

"It doesn't matter if Alpine Fort can occupy the mine or not, the important thing is not to let them win so comfortably. Richard slapped his chest hard, and every word was loud, "To tell the truth here, we are going to be a-stirring stick this time, a-stirring stick!

Richard's voice was almost roaring: "Whoever wants to occupy the iron mine, I will let him shed his last drop of blood! Let him feel painful! Don't try to relieve this breath for twenty years!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qi brushed up, and there was a noisy sound of tables and chairs toppling over, and the leaders agreed with a bang.

"Let's go!"

The Alpine Fort Guards had already assembled outside the house, and their equipment was ready to be deployed.

Time was not long for them, and if they didn't arrive before the dwarven tribes were destroyed, all tactical ideas would be meaningless.

"Annie, it's enough for you to come with us. Richard pointed in the direction of the mercenaries and said, "Just let your men protect the civilians on the hills and keep the robbers out." ”

The mercenaries, who were originally worried, collectively breathed a sigh of relief, they were just taking money to eat, and how many of them were still waiting to go home and get married after this battle, and they didn't want to participate in any gambling at all.

"Richard, a little bit of strength is precious at this time. Even Anne herself carried a soft bow and a pot of light arrows.

However, if she were to target the bear-man, who was known for her rough skin and thick flesh, she could expect that the combination of soft bows and light arrows would not pose the slightest threat.

"The strength of the army is precisely calculated, at most I will bring you, and no more people will be able to do it. Richard didn't explain what kind of precision this calculation was.

Anyway, looking at his thoughtful appearance, Anne can only believe that it is really down to single digits.

"So we're grasshoppers on a rope again?" the half-elf held out his palm to Richard, "It's a special bond, and my name is Anne Margaret, and I'm a descendant of Mr. Lynch and Miss Leah, the prairie elf, all of the Voya Firm." ”

Richard shook her hand.

Just counting the various magic items and holy water that he took out before, he felt that Annie's identity must be more than just a caravan steward, but he didn't expect that she was really a second-generation caravan.
