Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Devil's Contract
"What about the possibility of erecting a pontoon bridge directly?"
"Minimally." The sappers crouched on the ground and picked up a broken piece of stone and threw it into the searchlight column on the dark river. He jerked to his feet, pulled out his phone, and scratched out a picture of a pontoon boat.
"If this thing can appear here tonight, then even the 59 style can be transported to the other side."
On the night that the town of Sanqiao changed hands, the generator and searchlight were installed. The bright lampposts scanned the embankments and houses, the streets and alleys on the other side, illuminating every detail - and at the same time blowing away the ghost fire of the Western Expeditionary Army that wanted to attack the other bank at night.
It's a pity that the artwork of the three stone bridges was directly twisted into twist by the magic powder bomb. This was something that no one expected. The fleeing Magic Lance team didn't even have time to withdraw a large number of friendly troops, and although they lost a new force, the result of being able to delay most of Elta's main army also gave Opfe Mondrich a little relief.
"Then the conclusion is that assault boats and river assault boats are still used as the main transport force?" The staff officer standing was slightly unhappy, but he didn't expect that he was leading an infantry regiment and wanted to do his best in one day, but he was blocked by a tributary river that was not very wide.
"The existing equipment can't build a pontoon bridge at all, and I remember that your infantry regiment is also not armed to swim across, right? Don't hesitate, you don't have a choice right now. ”
Elta's army's plan for a night attack tonight was also cancelled due to insufficient transport capacity. At both ends of the three broken bridges, except for the most unusual-looking searchlights and the intermittent trumpets on one side, only the chirping of cicadas remained...... It's not like a battlefield at all.
When both ends of the town are in Three Bridges, the men of the Magic Lance Team will jump into the tributaries to rinse off their stinky sweat. Now the three stone bridges no longer exist, and the tributaries have changed from a safe heaven and earth bath to a battlefield. The men of the magic spear team who fled for their lives during the day were only accompanied by salt stars after sweating and drying, and it was destined to be difficult to sleep tonight.
"You say, will the demons in the west come at night?"
"I don't know ......"
Even if the body is not sticky, there are such conversations everywhere in the Magic Spear Team and even the Western Expeditionary Army. A week ago they came and went without a trace, taking away two poor soldiers, and who can guarantee that they will not appear again tonight? With what guarantee? The night is a terrifying canopy for the Western Expeditionary Army, but it is the best disguise for those demons!
A few horses flew around the bend in the small valley. The riders were exhausted after a long day of galloping—no one noticed that there was a figure halfway up the mountain, alarming a few broken leaves.
Within a few minutes, the horses were blocked by a uniform barbed wire fence.
"Bandits?" Elena gritted her teeth gently. "Give them some money and tell them to fuck off. Don't get your hands dirty. ”
"A few brothers over there, please report your name!" The leading Magic Lance rider shouted, nine out of ten people doing this on the Elta continent are the remnants of the original Eastern and Western armies, and maybe they can still have a relationship - no matter how bad it is, they have to recognize a little martyrdom and brotherhood, and it won't be too difficult to make way with money.
The rider shouted as he raised his torches. In the darkness, he could only see that the person blocking the road on the other side was wearing black armor and black armor, and the guy he was holding in his hand was not very real - judging from the posture, it was an axe? Is it a hammer? Still is......
The riders of the Magic Spear Team were chilled. The angle at which the arm is flexed and extended, is it a gun? Magic Powder Gun?
"We have no ill intentions, we just hope that Ms. Elena will talk to us." A man in black behind the barbed wire fence in the snake's belly took a step forward, revealing the details of the black armor.
Unlike any of Elta's known suits, armor - no, not even clothing. Alena had already determined under her mask that this was a visitor from the other world. As for who? If this voice is not wrong, his identity has been revealed.
"We're just messengers under the command of the Northern Lord, and there's no Elena here—" waved a hand in front of the person who was in a hurry to speak, and it was Elena who was shaking her palm and slowly driving her horse forward. Seeing this, the rider of the magic spear team instantly closed his mouth as if deflated.
"Elena? I am. The female rider on the horse put down her hood, revealing her neat short snow-white hair. Your army is here to set up an ambush and stop me, so it won't take my life, right? ”
"Not really." Frank smiled confidently. The tone of the female rider in front of her clearly represented that she recognized the voice of an acquaintance. "It's good that I didn't use the sword, Miss Elena."
One of Eltami's envoys, Frank. Elena looked at the man in black who had taken off her hood in front of her and laughed softly. Now that the Otherworldly still wants to see her and the man behind her, it proves that the man he loves the most still has a way to live—and certainly not by knocking stones.
In other words, the Otherworldly thinks that Eufaelmond is still useful; Or maybe they thought that Ofaelmond was a genius—a sane person would think it was the former, and Elena's consciousness kept reminding her that Ofaelmond's situation might be the latter, as her brain raced. If that's the case...... You can give it a go.
What if you don't fight? The army of the black-helmeted and black-armored otherworldly people touched her horse team out of nowhere, and knew exactly who was on it, so she must have been determined to succeed, right? A subtle wry smile appeared on Elena's lips - she could finally understand the meaning of Ofer Mondridge's "otherworldly people's every move". Even if they do it to let each other have
"So, where can we talk?"
With a wave of Tan Shijian's hand, the two commandos opened a passage through the snake-bellied barbed wire. Elena walked calmly through the net, and the attendants who tried to follow were confronted with the bright blowguns and bayonets.
"Don't worry, we won't take a bad deal against her." Tan Shijian's Elta language is a little rusty, but he can still clearly express the meaning he wants to express. "Why are we here to do anything unfavorable? With your sleepy-eyed vigilance, we can kill all of you before you enter the mountain, and then you can live or die. ”
Elena's entourage was all Ofer Mondridge's right-hand man, and when she heard Tan Shijian, who was standing tall and smug about his belly, poking at the sore spot, he was a little indignant for a while, and clenched the weapon in his hand.
"You guys, don't make trouble for me and O-Film~" Between the subtle atmospheres of the two parties, Elena's voice came from the darkness in the distance, just right to extinguish the flames that burned on both sides of the barbed wire.
"Mr. Frank, I wonder how long you've been waiting here?" A few people turned left and right, and after only a few steps uphill and downhill, they actually went around a new world - several tents stood in the glade, and at first glance they looked like they had been operating for many days.
"I think you'd be more interested, why did we know you're here?" The polite smile on Frank's face became a little strange in the light of the campfire.
"You've bought eyeliner in my stepfather's network." Elena hugged her chest - this was a subconscious defensive action, but her mouth was still full of disdain. "There should be no problem around O-film, otherwise you wouldn't have to travel all the way to Hilqi in person."
"Well, that's right, Lady Elena. We've been waiting here for five days, and we thought you'd arrive later. I didn't expect you to go forward in the starry night, it seems that you are really in a hurry. ”
Frank's face turned pale, he took out a few photos from his pocket, and then followed the preface and continued: "Today, the last outer layer of defense of the imperial capital Garcia has been broken through, you can take a look at it slowly. ”
Alena took the photos, glanced at them a few times, and nodded silently. It was indeed the town of Three Bridges she had visited, and the castle in the distance was undoubtedly where she and Orf-Mondridge had lived for several months.
"And then?" Elena handed the photo back to Frank and began to inquire about the other party's request.
"Your Ofe Mondridge, and his pregnant wife, are running out of time." Frank pointed to the folding mat and table outside the tent and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk. "If you follow the rules that our army now treats prisoners of war and high-ranking generals, you understand what happened to him, right?"
Elena fell silent.
"Don't think that your stepfather will be able to preserve even the slightest bit of the power of the Twin Moons. The Elta people are now full of righteous indignation, including me, and will not allow even the remnants of the Bilunar Church to continue to survive in the country, but your Orfmontrich has some merits in cooperating with the rebels, and ......"
"And what?" Alena couldn't be silent any longer.
"Moreover, my boss is very interested in your lover, and if he is willing to join us, we can't ignore it."
This is almost like the pull of the red fruit.
However, Elena lowered her head and thought for a long time before she looked left and right and said to him: "O-Fei said a word. If you want to defeat an enemy like you, you must first think in your way. Tell me, in your eyes, is Eufe Mondridge, the director of the Western Crusade of the Bilunar Church, already the same existence as you? ”
"You know a lot, Elena." Frank laughed heartily. "He did know how to correctly improve the combat effectiveness of the Western Expeditionary Army, but he also caused us some trouble. But Elena, you can't be unaware, right? Someone like him is not tolerated by the rotten Twin Moons, isn't it? ”
Elena's head jerked up. Yes, the use of the Elta to get rid of the magicians was used under the pretext that "it might hinder trade", so what about the threat of revealing empty ships? What is this? As long as the brains of the people of the other world are not broken, they will understand sooner or later.
