Chapter 44: Plan (Signing and Changing, 2-in-1)
"Captain Guan Feng, the evidence is so obvious, do you still want to excuse that group of brutes?" Dillon's tone began to be a little unkind, and his address to Guan Feng changed from the previous Guan brother to the current head of Guan Feng.
Guan Feng shook his head: "Of course I won't excuse that group of evil wolves, but don't you think it's strange?" If it's revenge, why don't you kill all the people in Qingquan Town, but take them away? β
"Humph!" Dillon snorted heavily: "Man-eating beasts, what can you take people away for??" Isn't it just to eat!! β
"Now is not the time to discuss, we must immediately go to Wolf Ridge to save people!"
"No way!" At this time, Guan Feng directly refused: "This matter is no longer something we can solve, I suggest giving up the task now, report the situation here to the Knights of Favonius, and let them send someone to Benwolf Ridge to rescue people." β
"Absolutely not!" Dillon refused, somewhat angrily.
"Qingquan Town is 15 kilometers away from Mondstadt, and even if you run all the way back, it will take an hour and a half to go back and forth, not to mention that the Knights have to dispatch people, so it would be very efficient to get there in less than three hours."
"But what we're short of now is time! Every minute of drag, a villager could die at the claws of that herd of brutes! β
Dillon's face was very anxious: "If Captain Guan Feng is afraid, then stay here, I will take my members to save people." β
As he spoke, he turned his head and walked in the direction of Benwolf Ridge with his members.
"Ugh." Guan Feng let out a long sigh and said, "Although Captain Dillon is eager to save people, now is not the time to rush without brains, so let's sit down and discuss countermeasures first." β
"What do you mean?" Dillon turned his head and looked at Guan Feng suspiciously.
"I mean you can go in and save people, but you have to make a perfect plan, and rushing in without a brain is only death!"
"Hmph, it turns out that Brother Guan is also a bloody Mondstadt, I misunderstood you."
Guan Feng smiled noncommittally: "Do you have a detailed map of Running Wolf Ridge?" β
"Yes, but because of the particularity of Wolf Ridge, there is no way to mark it in too much detail on the map."
"It's okay, just have a rough zoning."
It's more than twenty kilometers from Mondstadt to Wolf Ridge, but that's only the entrance to Wolf Ridge.
From the entrance of Benwolf Ridge, there is a winding trail on both sides of the road, and the total distance is about 20 kilometers.
Guan Feng pointed to a wolf clan gathering place on the map and said, "At present, it seems that those evil wolves have taken away the residents of Qingquan Town, and this largest gathering place of the wolf clan is our primary search target." β
There is more than one wolf pack in Benwolf Ridge, but this kind of dare to go out to Benwolf Ridge to catch people must be extremely confident in their own strength! Therefore, starting with a large tribe is the best choice at the moment.
"I agree with Brother Guan, but there is a powerful wolf king in Benwolf Ridge, and I estimate that the strength is around the fourth order, and we must find a way to deal with it."
"Oh? It's kind of interesting, how did you estimate it? Guan Feng asked curiously.
"This is very simple, a big caravan like them is usually equipped with third-order bodyguards or mercenaries, but this time they hunted wolves in Benwolf Ridge and killed many people, but they were not completely wiped out, so I guess the strength of the wolf king is about the fourth order, and it did not completely crush them."
Guan Feng must know more about the wolf king than they all, but he is a little uncertain about this strength, after all, in the game, the level of the wolf king will increase as the player's level increases.
Dillon saw that no one interrupted him, and he continued: "As for the strength of those wolves, I think most of them are first-order or even zero-order strength, and they can't pose much of a threat to us, so if we want to attack strongly, someone must contain the wolf king, so that we can succeed." β
Dillon looked at Guan Feng as he spoke: "Can Your Excellency Guan Feng contain it?" β
"It's a bit of a hang!" Guan Feng pinched his chin and was embarrassed: "My strength is very strong, I can reach the third order, but the speed is not fast, if I meet the wolf king, I can't guarantee that it won't skip me to kill you." β
Dillon was a little disappointed: "Is that so, that's a pity." β
"Actually, we don't have to force it in." At this time, Bennett didn't know when he woke up and interjected.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I know a little brother in Benwolf Ridge, his situation is very special, he belongs to a member of the wolf pack, I think we can go to Benwolf Ridge to find him, and let him help us negotiate with the wolf king and rescue the villagers."
Bennett should be talking about Razor, if he can negotiate directly, he can indeed avoid conflict and casualties, and can also ease the relationship between the two sides.
But
"I strongly disagree with what you say!" Dillon yelled at Bennett angrily, "What are you kidding, you want to leak our plan to save people to those animals!" β
Sure enough, Dillon jumped out first and rejected Bennett, the current situation is that there is little room for relaxation between the two sides, and if we rush up to negotiate, it will only be detrimental to ourselves.
After all, the other party now has our handle, and they have no handle, we don't have any handle, do you want to threaten the wolf king of the north wind and say that if you don't let the villagers go, you will run him to the wolf ridge flat?
Come on, that's not how the negotiations are talked.
Bennett heard Dillon speak of Razor as an animal, and some anger appeared on his face.
"Razor is human, he will definitely help us!"
"Huh." Dillon sneered: "You just said that he was a member of the wolf pack, and the previous businessman killed his family, do you think that everyone in this world is a virgin?" This can be forgiven to you??? β
"Please don't be so naΓ―ve, you are the leader of the group, not a newcomer who has just started to take risks, I think the reason why your members will quit the group is because you are unlucky, and on the other hand, because you are too naΓ―ve."
Bennett blushed and said, "They didn't quit the group!" They're just taking time off! β
Dillon sneered: "Do you believe this?" And if it weren't for your bad luck, we would have rushed to Qingquan Town early, and we would have rescued them sooner! β
It seems that Dillon has a lot of complaints about Bennett's bad luck physique, and at this time it finally broke out.
Seeing that Dillon was talking more and more, Guan Feng hurriedly interrupted their conversation.
"Okay, okay, let's say a few words, now is not the time for infighting, the villagers don't know what is going on now, we must act immediately."
Seeing Guan Feng come out to play the round, Dillon snorted heavily, twisted his head, and stopped taunting Bennett.
Seeing that Dillon stopped, Guan Feng turned his head and said to Bennett: "You should all know the current situation, now we don't have any chips in our hands, and we can't get any benefits from negotiating with the wolf king." β
Bennett listened to Guan Feng's explanation, but lowered his head and stopped talking, as if he also knew that his previous proposal was a little immature.
Guan Feng continued: "Although we can't negotiate with the Wolf King, the Knights of Favonius can!" β
Bennett looked at Guan Feng with some confusion.
"The Merchants, the Adventurers' Guild, and the Knights of Favonius are three distinct entities. In the past, merchants hunted wolves, and it was their merchants' problem, not our adventurers and knights. β
"If you divide the responsibilities, I'm sure there are people on their side who can understand."
"So I propose that the troops be divided into two routes, Captain Dillon and I, lead the team directly into Benwolf Ridge, and if the villagers are in danger, we can also rescue them."
"On the other hand, I need you to rush back to Mondstadt and tell Captain Jean what happened here, so that she can lead the team."
"If I fail to rescue Captain Dillon, then you can put all the blame on us, and say that we are in the same group as the merchants, and have nothing to do with the Knights, so that although the Knights will encounter some difficulties when negotiating, at least the villagers' current risks will be evenly distributed to the later stages of negotiation."
"As for my plan, Captain Dillon shouldn't have any problems."
"Naturally not, as long as this kid doesn't participate in our rescue plan, our success rate can be increased a lot!"
Bennett tried to open his mouth to refute it several times, but each time he swallowed it back to his mouth.
Suddenly, he smiled heartily: "Haha, Captain Guan Feng, leave this matter to me, even if it costs my life, I will pass the news to Captain Qin!" β
Looking at Bennett, who was suddenly relieved and hid his negative emotions, Guan Feng felt a little touched in his heart, he was really a standard hot-blooded male protagonist.
Guan Feng smiled: "Ah, then I'll leave it to you, Captain Bennett!" β
.................................
The plan was finalized, and the two teams were immediately separated.
Bennett, Fischl, Noelle, and Stern, the deputy of Dillon's Adventure Band, rushed back to Mondstadt to find the Knights of Favonius.
And the rest of the people will infiltrate Wolf Ridge to rescue the residents of Qingquan Town.
Originally, it was best for Oz to follow their rescue team, but considering Bennett's physique, they couldn't be calm along the way, and if Fischl left Oz, her strength would drop a lot, which was very dangerous for her.
After determining the detachment, everyone didn't waste any more time and set off immediately!
