Chapter 31: Three Schemes

Looking at the second wave of attacking forces, which was barely half of the number remaining, and the sad appearance of almost everyone being injured, Ivan Stipild had bruises on his forehead and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"What the hell is going on?" the Grand Commander of the City Guard asked at the top of his voice at the defeated army.

"Back to the Grand Commander, we have been ambushed. ”

The big vice-captain was very helpless, and he came to Ivan Stipildema to reply, he didn't want to be a bird, but the captain had fallen under the arrows of the morning light, and the whole team retreated back into the defeated soldiers, which belonged to his highest rank, and he didn't come forward to bear the anger of his superiors, who would bear it?

Shouldn't this be a traitor's line, how did it come out of your mouth?

Ivan Stipild was so angry that his fingers on the handle of the sword turned white.

No matter how you count the enemies inside, there are only three people in total, and you have more than 100 people in it, and you are embarrassed to say "you have encountered an ambush", and more than 100 people have eaten the ambush of only three people, and it will definitely make people laugh out of their big teeth when they say it. That's it, I didn't try to fight back, not to mention, I even fought a big defeat!

It's a shame!

Ivan Stipild felt a blackness in front of him, and he felt like he was going to be by these incompetent men. As soon as he gritted his teeth and straightened his tall body, he was ready to jump off the horse, first beat the waste snack in front of him, and then put on it himself. Just relying on the wine bags and rice bags of the city guards around him, sending people in is just a head.

"The Grand Commander still asks to calm his anger, or let his subordinates lead the team in first. If we still can't do it, it's not too late for the Grand Commander to take action himself. ”

A deep baritone sounded behind him.

Ivan Stipild turned his head and saw that the man who had said this was tall and burly, as black and strong as an iron tower, and he was about to reach the height of his shoulders when he stood under his horse, and he stood straight as a pine, with a full beard and a rough face, but the little triangular eyes shone brightly, and made people realize that this guy was not a rough man by brute force alone.

The person who came was none other than one of his right-hand men, the deputy commander of the city guard, Zyuganov.

"Why are you here?"

Ivan Stipild couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it, Zyuganov was his good helper, a fifth-level peak soldier, extremely good at hand-to-hand combat, tonight was originally arranged to sit on the street opposite the back door of the mercenary group headquarters, and he led the team to block the route that Normer and others were most likely to choose to escape, not only can it play the role of waiting for the rabbit, if the enemy chooses to break through from the windows of the left and right flanks, Zyuganov can also support his colleagues on the left and right in time, which can be called a foolproof arrangement, but he doesn't want him to come to his side, so Ivan Stipild has this question.

Zyuganov smiled innocently and replied, "Archmage Joe Pride has arrived. I heard that the attack was not going well, so I asked me to come and support. There's an archmage over there to take charge of me, and it should be even better. ”

His smile is very kind, I don't know how many people have died under the deception of Zyuganov's honest face, he is not like the homonym of the name "drunk driving coward", he is very skilled, but he also knows how to use his brains, and he has a lot of experience in how to use legal loopholes and game rules to steal other people's property and women.

For example, the so-called "important business" he went to do in the afternoon, which lasted for half a month, he finally got his wish, and "bought" a large manor located outside the city from a wealthy merchant at the price of one gold kern, and "incidentally" smiled at the beautiful concubines in other people's rooms.

As one of the most intelligent and brave men in the city guard, Zyuganov was loyal to old Stipild and did quite a lot of tricky things for their family, so he was deeply trusted by the city lord's father and son, and Ivan Stipild also relied heavily on this deputy with a bad stomach, and reciprocated with his acquiescence and connivance at his behavior of looting the people's fat and ointment, and they tacitly understood each other.

As soon as he heard that Joe Pride had also arrived, and had taken the initiative to take over Zyuganov to guard the back door, the commander of the city guard suddenly relieved himself and asked his deputy, "What are you going to do?"

"Well, I just took the time to ask about the situation, and it's quite tricky. There should not be too few people who go in, and if there are too many, they will get in the way and become a live target for them to strike at will from above. Zyuganov thought about it and analyzed it slowly, not at all worried that his boss would be impatient when he heard it.

Ivan Stipild agrees.

The first attack thought that the people were not expensive, and the ones who fought were the elite of the elite, and the lowest one also had a third-level cultivation, but unexpectedly planted under the three indiscriminate methods of Normer and others, he was caught off guard and caused the whole army to be annihilated, and the boat capsized in the typical gutter;

The second time he learned a lesson, adopted the traditional tactics of crowds, and sent a whole squadron of more than 100 men and horses to besiege, trying to get rid of the opponent with the attrition tactics of more ants biting elephants, but they were beaten by many ruthless methods they set up early, and the same lost their armor and fled in rout, becoming a classic negative teaching material for people and not winning the location.

As soon as he thought of this, the commander of the city guard army felt aggrieved, and all the commonly used methods were used, and the enemy was still standing, like a stone in a thatched pit - smelly and hard, and he couldn't do anything about them for a while, forcing him to be at the peak of the sixth level, and he was angry, and he almost wanted to go to the field to clean up two teenagers and an old man in person.

The consequences of this are not good when you think about it, even if the city guards win in the end, it will not be glorious, and it is estimated that it will become a joke of the daily pastime of the small citizens of the surrounding cities.

Zyuganov scratched his hair and pondered it carefully before slowly saying his plan: "About twenty people is more appropriate." I'm going to take Antonov and a few of them in and take care of hand-to-hand combat. In addition, I would like to ask the Grand Commander to lend me the arrow team from the Guard, which will be responsible for assisting in long-range attacks. In this way, I am sure of the combination of near and far. ”

Antonov and others are Zyuganov's right-hand men, who have always followed him closely and inseparably, and for more than ten years, they have been very tacit in their linkage and cooperation with each other.

As for the personal guard in Stipild's hands, it was a soldier he carefully selected from the city guard, and hired several different types of masters from outside to join, with high salaries and rewards as a foundation, and tyrannical and domineering as a privilege, so he carried out Ivan Stipild's orders without saying a word, and was willing to do whatever his conscience was, forming the most important violent team in his control of Manny Fork City.

Although the arrow team in the pro-guard team is only thirteen people, it is extremely powerful, and the captain of the team is a fourth-level soldier, with superb archery skills, and the arrows shot have the function of breaking demons, which is very suitable for dealing with enemies with spiritual attributes such as magicians. Even the so-called ordinary archers in the team are also the second-level strength of Yishui, and the overall combat effectiveness is not trivial.

From the fact that Antonov didn't want others, he prefers to invite a special general for the archery team, and it can be seen how powerful the archers in the commander's personal guard are.

With melee sword and shield fighters and long-range archers, in fact, this team is still missing a mage or priest to accompany them, but unfortunately the city guards, whether they are mages or priests, are only a pitiful level, and there is a huge difference between the fourth-level mages in the opponent's array, and entering is purely to send them to death.

It was precisely because of the bonus given to the trio by Plitander's terrifying lethality that Stipild deliberately spent a lot of money to hire the sixth-level great magician Joe Pryde to help with the punch, with a clear purpose, that is, to comprehensively suppress the old butler.

It sounds like money has been given, as if you can invite the great magician to participate in this attack, the problem is that Joe Pride has always been above the top, and he is willing to condescend to make a move on the face of the heavy Kim Kink, how can he give up the strength of long-range attack and run into a relatively small room to give up the hand of Zyuganov? How unsafe is that, what if you accidentally get bruised?

The risks obviously outweigh the benefits, and they all know that it is impossible without asking, so Stipild and Zyuganov did not consider it at all, and invited the most suitable candidates to form the team for this time.

Outside the house, the organization was in full swing again, and the atmosphere inside the house was much more relaxed, with Dawn, Normer, and Plitander all doing the same thing, drinking water.

It is very important to replenish water in time between battles, and at the same time talk again, which not only helps to recover physical strength in time, but also can properly relax the mood, which is a typical good for physical and mental health.

Repelled two attacks by the city guards in a row, and the defending side, relying on the defense system that was arranged in time, calmly and easily completed the established task called resistance, but in fact ravaged.

"Brother Normer, do you guess what those stupid people outside are doing now, and do you dare to send someone in to send them to death again?" Dawn took a sip of water and asked softly, looking full of confidence.

The "coke" lying on the ground on the first floor, several strange-shaped "ice sculptures" with a pestle, and more than a dozen corpses with arrows in their chests and faces, or arrows in their backs, confirmed that the girl's optimism was definitely justified, and she was naturally confident when she asked.

After winning the two battles, in fact, Normer was also more confident, thought about it and replied: "It is certain to send someone in to deal with us, and I guess it should be almost ready." Among the first two people who came in, the highest strength seemed to be three to four levels, and the city guards of a city were not even five or six level warriors. I guess if we hold out for one more round at most, the 'terrifying Ivan' on the other side will be forced to deal with us personally. ”

Chenxi laughed after hearing "hee-hee", looking very proud like a little fox who had stolen a chicken, "Of course, we have been bullied so badly, and it is difficult for the great commander not to jump like thunder." Huh, does that mean it's time for us to get ready to break out?" the girl was keenly aware of her brother's subtext.

"That's right, our dawn is the smartest. Normer stroked the girl's jet-black hair and smiled and complimented.

"Of course!" Hearing Brother Normer, who has always valued him the most, say this, Chenxi's heart was full of joy, and the words she said were also loud and simple.

Plitander also nodded, agreeing with the young master's judgment: "The old man also thinks so, as long as this wave comes in again, then Stipild can only enter the house in person." Since he is a knight of the sixth level, the young master should try not to carry it hard, and if he can't do it, he will withdraw first, anyway, there will be a chance to clean him up in the future. "The old butler is extremely confident in his young master's future achievements.

The three of them were optimistic, talking about the impending onslaught in a relaxed tone like small talk, but the six eyes were constantly watching the gate, ready to put down the water bottle in hand and pick up their weapons, and their concentration and spirit were not slacking off at all.

In the encirclement of an enemy with a clear numerical superiority, any thoughtless thoughts and actions must not be allowed.

At this time, the firelight and the figure approached the gate, and seeing that the third round of the city guard's offensive had begun, the three of Normer tacitly put away the kettle, calmly picked up their weapons, and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.
