Chapter 64: It's in the bag
"Thirty years ago, Sunderland has begun to show its incredible speed of national development, from a relatively wealthy ordinary medium-sized country to rapid development, well, especially the military power, now so big that no one knows how much combat power they have prepared" Matthew began to give Carlil a few treasures, and began to say to Carlil from the beginning: "But in recent years, Sunderland's actions have accelerated a lot, and there have been a lot of frictions with several small surrounding countries in recent years, It makes people feel that Sunderland is feeling that the time is about to be ripe, and they can't wait to find the surrounding area to try his minions, and the results are also fruitful for them."
After Matthew finished a few words, he glanced at Carlil, and saw that she didn't say anything, so he continued: "In the past few years, Xanderland has almost won all the local battles, and several mercenary groups with good relations with us have participated in some of them, and they all have lingering fears about Sunderland's army, and they have mastered a lot of powerful technologies, which are used in their armament, making it difficult for us to deal with."
Of course, we are referring to the mercenaries, and Kahlil also knows that although the general discipline and large-scale tactics of the mercenaries are worse than the regular army, this group of blood-licking guys are definitely masters of combat, and can make this group of people feel terrible enemies, that is, they are truly terrible.

You can defeat the mercenaries, but it's hard to scare them, because the cowardly ones have either honed their courage or have long since become mercenaries, although some of them quit because they gave up their lives.
"Powerful technology?" Carlil asked, the word finally piquing her curiosity, and she remembered that Raymond Rodney, the bastard who had left Natalia's workshop and taken the technology with him.
"Yes, we haven't fought head-on, and several mercenary groups have privately talked to us about the strength of Sunderland after the war, so we deliberately avoided the relevant tasks, so I am just hearsay." Matthew explained in detail.
"It's okay, what do you know, why don't you tell me and hear about it?" Kahlil was still interested.
"Well, conventional, their equipment has improved a lot as a whole, it should be that they have mastered more powerful smelting technology, the armor is strong, and the general blade can't help it, and it seems that whether it is infantry or cavalry, as long as the armor is equipped with some kind of alchemy protection, if it is a little worse weapon, even scratches will not be left"
"Well, then"
This is what Kahlil expected, Raymond doesn't take out such an important and miraculous thing to use, it's a ghost, this hybrid folding forging method can greatly improve the actual combat effect of equipment, and only a small increase in cost, it is simply a technology created for war.
"Actually, that's the main thing, you know, the gap in equipment is a certain extent...... You can win the game right away," Matthew said, after a moment's consideration.
"I understand, but nothing else has been discovered?" Karil was not satisfied, and it took a long time to know this, which was too disappointing.
"If there's anything else...... It's a giant crossbow that Sunderland has ever used," Matthew recalled, finding the most impressive and credible thing from his memory, and said: "They have only used it in the only siege battle, and no one has ever seen what the ballista that sent it out, because the distance is too far, but the crossbow arrows they use are very powerful, the arrows are sharpened Mitsubishi blades, and they are also forged like armor, and the shaft is slightly thicker than the thumb, about a meter and a half long, and it also has the same large tail feathers." ā
Matthew described it carefully, hoping to provide more detailed information.
"And isn't it surprisingly fast?" Karil asked, knowing what it was.
"Well, indeed," Matthew replied, raising his eyebrows slightly, a little thoughtfully.
"Hydraulic siege crossbow......" Karil sighed under his breath.
"What?" Matthew didn't hear clearly.
"No, nothing, don't care, what about the rest?" Kahlil hastened to cover up the past, she didn't want to waste her words too much at this time, now was not the time to say this.
However, with these two pieces of information, she can at least be sure that Raymond has indeed hooked up with Sunderland, and has put the previous design into practice, and even added it to the actual battle.
Like what...... The Hydraulic Siege Crossbow, a heavy weapon powered by bursts and transfer force from a special solution, can even be made into a machine gun that Kahlil remembers if its structure is masterfully designed. This thing was originally sealed by a workshop that did not produce weapons of war, and now Raymond has found a new user for these weapons of war diagrams.
"Others, the credibility is not high, are you sure you want to hear it, probably it can only be used as an after-dinner conversation" Matthew was afraid of passing on some wrong information and bringing unnecessary losses to the life-saving benefactor, and there were Angelo and Red Lotus sitting next to him, which means that the two forces of the Holy See of Light and the Assassin Alliance, who knows what Carlil has to do with them at this time, Matthew doesn't want to have anything wrong with him.
Carlil didn't speak, her face was a little unpleasant, but it had nothing to do with Matthew, it was purely because when she thought of Raymond and the current Sunderland, she had a headache and a little bit of a sense of help, which felt very bad, very bad, so bad that Carlil even felt that it was her responsibility and task to stop this war and minimize the losses of this war.
After being silent for a while, Ma Xiu waited for an answer, Angelo and Honglian next to him secretly watched the show, Qing Xi looked like he was watching the performance, and he didn't speak in tacit understanding, this silence gave Matthew a little coercion, if he was put in peace, Matthew was not a guy who would be scared, but this was to save himself from the hands of death, and what kind of Holy See was an assassin, so that Matthew completely stood in a passive position, and unconsciously began to follow the rhythm of Kaliel.
"What do you think your mercenary group will do with these things, will you join the battle, which side will you join, what do you think of Senderland?" Kahlil asked quietly.
In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, Kahlil thinks that it should be no problem to exchange the grace of saving lives for the help of their mercenary group, but if this is not wasted, this can only reach a cooperative relationship, and this help will suddenly become a life-saving exchange bargaining chip, which makes Carlil completely unsatisfied, to change to loyalty, if he can take all of them into his pocket at this time, and tie this group of combat forces to his own ship, this is what Carlil wants.
Carlil's fox abacus, crackling behind her back, did not dare to show the dew on the surface, and was also secretly observing the words and deeds of Matthew.
"We?" Matthew smiled bitterly: "The king of Sunderland is irritable by nature, this is not a rumor among mercenaries, they will slaughter mercenaries and civilians after the war, and kill them all when necessary, not one is left, and the xenophobia is serious, although in terms of interests, if you can join Sunderland or maintain an alliance, it is the best, but I'm afraid ...... It won't work out either. ā
"Really...... How do you say that? "Karil, this is purely knowingly asking.
"Let's not say whether they will accept our group, although the Immortal Flower is now growing step by step, it is not the first few in the world, it is not easy to say whether it can take a fancy to our group of brothers, and" Matthew paused: "The group of people who escaped with me, plus the recruits who came in one after another, are now like brothers, and it is a dereliction of duty for me as the head of the regiment to let such a group of people have the blood of innocent people on their hands, and it will also erase all the glory of our mercenary group, and finally ......"
"The last thing?"
"They don't really trust outsiders, everyone can see that even if they really recruit the mercenary group, they will be the next target after they are used," Matthew sighed.
"Are you so sure?" Carlil questioned.
"We couldn't be more sure of the people of the place, the army, the monarch, and the character of the people, and how we can't be sure, and we can't be sure if we meet them every day," Matthew replied very clearly.
I ...... with my mind!
Kahlil was about to burst out laughing, she managed to hold back her ears and tail from wagging around, and now if she wagged her tail, she would suddenly lose her momentum.
"So, what are you going to do?" Carlil quietly picked up a cup of tea, this strong tea was poured by Qing Xi just now, everyone had a cup, but Matthew didn't notice.
Matthew frowned, not knowing what to answer, and he glanced at Karil again, watching her draw circles slowly back and forth along the teacup with her index finger.
"I don't know, maybe it's the best decision to let the brothers give up the mercenary group and return to the field," Ma Xiu sighed.
"No, war doesn't give anyone peace in it, does it?" Carlil firmly denied.
"I understand ......"
"So, if there is a chance that you can fight Sunderland, or even defeat Sunderland, ......what do you think?" Kahlil said, the tip of her tail wagging sharply, but luckily she wasn't seen.
"I'm a soldier originally, and if I can fight against such an opponent, then I don't want anything more, but ......," Matthew said, "I need it to be a real fight, not to know that I am invincible, and I want to send my brothers to death!" He looked up and stared straight at Karil.
What catches the eye is still the cute blonde fox demon, but with an unpredictable old temperament.
"I can provide the blades that break through their armor, I can make your men reapers of Sunderland's new armament, I can give you chariots and even more powerful weapons of war than Sunderland, and I can re-equip you with a sturdy defense that will frighten everyone!"
Kahlil slammed the finished teacup on the table, stood up from her position, and said loudly.
"You will have the opportunity to go head-to-head with Sunderland, and you will be remembered by all of Sunderland! You will be able to pierce their hearts with your swords, and you will stop Sunderland's attack and make Sunderland pay for their actions! ā
Carlil met Matthew's burning gaze and looked him head-on without flinching.
"Join us and become my strength, so that I can provide you with bargaining chips in war, we can gain the support of the people of the whole continent, and we will crush all enemies, for ourselves, for our families, for our friends, for everyone! In the future, we will be baptized by chaos and war, and kill our own piece of the sky!! ā
Matthew didn't speak.
But Kahlil kept looking into his eyes, and from that look, Kahlil knew that she was about to succeed.
"You ...... What to have? Matthew asked lightly, a slight tremor in his voice.
"We have technology and justice," Carlil replied categorically: "Sunderland's goal will be the whole world, all countries, all people will not escape his ambitions, but we think that Sunderland is not a king who can make the world prosperous, it will only bring blood and brutal hell, then the Holy See will lead the rebellion on behalf of the will of God and the people!" Fight back at Sunderland in the name of the world! The world will not succumb to them! And we are the forces against Sunderland. We will leave our name in history, not only can we leave ourselves a pure land for survival without worry in the end, but also can obtain the peace that we should have after a lifetime of conquest, no more bloody killings, and a peaceful home away from all the hustle and bustle, and our deeds will be recited by future generations. ā
Kahlil said, pointing lightly at Angelo and Red Lotus, "The Holy See and the Assassin Alliance will be our allies, fighting alongside us, what reason do you have not to be one of us?" ā
Matthew was silent, quietly listening to Carlil's every word.
At this time, Kiyoshi sat on the chair with his back to Matthew, put down the teacup, and clapped Carlil where Matthew couldn't see, but he couldn't make a sound, and his palms didn't really clap together.
"Let's face it!" Karil uttered the last words of her plan: "-- Let's stay true to our ideals!" ā
Matthew slowly stretched out a hand......
and Kahlil's hand was shaken.
