Chapter 148: Advisors

The busy day passed quickly, and in the middle of the night, the lights of the big tent had not been extinguished, and Unas was buried in military affairs and forgot the time.

Today's most important task is to train foreign captives, the orcs are very obedient, none of them dare to challenge the rule of the seventeen orc warriors, but only one or two leaders of the other races are controlled by him, and from time to time there are passive resistance, and they have to serve severely.

After the training, he opened his personal food reserves, so that these guys who can only eat half full on a daily basis can get a long-lost sense of satiety, of course, he does not want to win the hearts of these captives, these aliens will never really obey humans, only hope that the strategy of carob and stick will make them more obedient.

According to statistics, there are a total of 95 orcs, 101 trolls, 53 ogres, jackals and kobolds add up to nearly two hundred, which together almost doubles the military strength of the stronghold, and Unas organized them into four hundred-man teams.

Among them, ogres and gnolls are grouped together, and the ogres have a low IQ and are very obedient as long as they have food, which is just used to spy on the jackals who like to make trouble the most.

Unas looked at the military map on the table and was distracted, and discussed two tactics with the officers before, one was to fight steadily and gather all the military forces to move forward, and the other was more risky, taking out the red stone tablet and letting a death squad take it, and directly rushed to a high ground five kilometers away to re-erect the monument, so that the spiders could understand the intention of humans to redraw the border.

This detachment, which goes deep behind enemy lines, is bound to be besieged, but it also attracts a lot of enemy attention and provides cover for the offensive of frontal combat units.

The captives are natural candidates for death squads, if there is an overlord spider to open the way, it should not be difficult to rush out of five kilometers with a few alien hundred-person teams, and there is no need to supervise the battle when they get to the place, they are surrounded by spiders and do not resist or die, they will naturally fight desperately.

Unas prefers the second tactic, which is risky but has a high chance of winning, and if he is steady, he will probably not be able to reach the goal of advancing five kilometers.

The only problem was whether he could hold on, in case the death squad was completely wiped out before the frontal troops arrived, he hesitated, sleepy but never able to sleep.

Early the next morning, the garrison officer, who was asleep on his stomach on the desk of the big tent, was woken up by a personal guard, "My lord, another mage has asked to see her, this time it is a beautiful woman, and we stopped her outside the barracks." ”

Unas, who was groggy with dark circles under his eyes, felt a little more energetic when he heard the words of the beautiful woman, washed his face with saliva, and said, "Let her in." ”

If Duane wants to make a beauty trick, it doesn't hurt to be embarrassed, and it is good for both parties to settle this matter early, Unas sat in his chair with anticipation and waited to see the beauty.

It was only after a while that I heard footsteps approaching, and it was the poker-faced Whitemane who came first, and behind her was a blonde little beauty, dressed in the same style of fuchsia robe as the male mage yesterday, with a ruddy face like a newly ripened apple, half a head shorter than the big white legs, and looking petite and lovely.

Whitemayne coughed dryly, expressing his displeasure with Unas's aggressive gaze, and introduced, "This is my good friend, the lady of the Earl Garnes's house, Miss Helen Garnes, a mid-rank fire mage. ”

The female mage politely gave a ladylike salute to Unas, who could not afford to lose her grace, and also stood up and nodded and smiled, "Hello, Miss Helen." ”

"Lord Unas, I would like to apologize to you for yesterday's rude Doan Norvid, and I hope you will not be prejudiced against the Mage Academy because of this." Helen's voice is warm and elegant, and it sounds very comfortable.

There are so many people who have apologized to Lao Tzu recently, Unas felt a little impatient in his heart, but he still kept smiling on the surface, and took out the sweet words that dealt with Whiteman: "It's just a little misunderstanding, although I'm not good at forgiving others, but if it's a beautiful lady like Miss Helen, I can't forgive it." ”

Miss Mage covered her mouth and smiled, her face seemed to turn even redder, "My lord said that the heroic legend of your defeat of the Dreadlord is my favorite story lately, and it is my honor to meet you." ”

The look of adoration in her eyes as she spoke was not acted, or she should have been awarded an Oscar.

Unas was covered with a fluttering forehead like a cloud, it turned out to be his fan, Duane sent her here, and the meaning of submission was obvious, "Which paragraph do you like the most, I can tell you in person."

"Really?" Helen was a little surprised and couldn't control her voice, "The part where you rescued the women and children from the demon's dungeon, you are so loving, I heard that there is a night elf girl who fell in love with you because of this, I can understand her feelings, I ......"

"Ahem," Whitemayne interrupted her with a dry cough, a little sour, "what is there to say about the stories that have been exaggerated by the bards ten thousand, hurry up and get down to business, we're all busy." ”

Helen pursed her lips, "What an exaggeration, I have seen the women and children who have been rescued in the monastery, and they are very grateful to Master Unas. ”

Unas had secretly heard the bard sing his story, and there were indeed many exaggerations, but this fell under the category of artistic processing, and it should be understandable.

Whitemane was angry, but he didn't want to argue with this bewildered girlfriend, so he just snorted to express his displeasure.

Unexpectedly, Helen didn't want to let her go, "Sally, I heard that Lord Unas has rejected several times to express his love for you, but you voluntarily followed him here, why?" ”

She looked at Unas again, "Is there a secret between you?" I'd love to know. ”

Whitemayne hung her shoulders weakly, her good friend who was studying at the Mage Academy this morning suddenly came to her and asked her to help introduce Unas to her, she agreed without much thought, and now she is regretting it very much.

Unas thought for a moment and said, "I can tell you very honestly that there is indeed a secret between me and Sally. ”

"I knew it!" Miss Gossip's eyes lit up, "Sally and I are good friends, can you tell me?" ”

"A secret is a secret, I can't say, but why don't you stay and find out for yourself?"

"Stay?" Helen didn't react for a moment.

Una began to abduct the girl: "Yes, how about staying and being my arcane advisor?" We don't even have a military mage? ”

Of course she is willing to be next to her idol, "but my studies ...... Will Mr. Duane agree? ”

When Unas knew that she admired her very much, she was ready to dig into the corner, such a young mid-level mage has a bright future, and he really needs a mage advisor, after all, the blood elves are not my race, and it is more reassuring to have a human mage who can be fully trusted by his side.

"There's a high-level fire mage of the Blood Elves here, I can let him teach you, as for Dean Duan, doesn't he want elemental crystals? One of the conditions is that you stay here, how's that, would you like that? ”

"Of course I do!" It has always been Helen's dream to leave the dreary library and venture into the outside world.

"I'm against it!" Whitemayne is back in the villain, "Helen, you have to think clearly, there are no convent comfort rooms, delicious lunches and bards to tell stories, and there is an imminent war, and you can't stay here. ”

"I knew that in your eyes you and I were a noble lady who only knew how to enjoy, and you made me sad so much, Sally, I hate you!"

"I didn't mean that, I cared about your safety," Whitemayne quickly explained, "I can even tell you his secret now, you don't have to stay here for it." ”

Unas was not happy to say this, and said that he would keep the secret of the resurrection technique for Lao Tzu, and now he wants to break the oath in person?

"If I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen, I'm going to stay here!" Miss Helen had a temper tantrum and covered her ears and screamed.

Whitemane crossed his hands on his hips, and there was a hint of helplessness between his eyebrows, "You have to go back, this is for your safety." ”

"You keep talking about security, and I, the garrison officer, make you feel insecure like this?" Unas joined the tear, "As long as Miss Helen is willing to follow me, I will swear to her safety." ”

"Do you know what people call you in private? Executioner! "You're not a demon slayer hero at all, you're a murderer, a presence that scares me more than the enemy." ”

"Tell me who I killed that makes you feel horrified, undead? Trolls? Or a gnoll? Unas retorted, "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, I'm sorry, if you continue to follow me, you will only see more killing." ”

"Why do you follow Unas if you hate him so much?" Helen's conjecture about the secret between the two is an affair, which now seems to be completely not.

"He has something I don't have, and I want to have that kind of thing, and that's all I have with him," Whitemayne cryptically explained, "As soon as I get that thing, I'll get out of here immediately." ”

"And then go back to the place with a nice lunch in a cosy room? It turns out that what you just said was your own feelings," Unas's anger increased, "Since it is so painful to stay here, it is you, not Helen, who should go back to the monastery." ”

"You want to chase me away?"

Unas shrugged, "It's okay if you want to understand it that way. ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Whitemane turned around and left as if he was acting in a Qiong Yao drama, and even Helen didn't care.

"She seems to be really gone, what should I do?" The female mage looked at her back and panicked a little again.

Unas said nonchalantly, "So what, the sun will rise as usual in this world, no matter who is missing, and I bet she won't really leave." ”

"Why, what the hell is that thing she said, can you tell me secretly?"

"It has nothing to do with that thing, it's your reason, she is so prejudiced against me, how can she rest assured that you will stay by my side?" Unas diverted the topic, "Leave her alone, let's get down to business, what Dean Duane thinks of the crystal mine, you should give me the bottom line." ”

"The teacher is researching a new magic circle and urgently needs a lot of energy, he knows that it is not easy for you to mine, and said that as long as the three achievements are enough, you can exchange them with the materials of the Mage Academy."

It's really a lion's mouth, Unas sneered in his heart, "I know, I will arrange someone to reply to him, you don't have to go back, I'll take you on a tour of the entire stronghold first, although we don't have comfortable houses, but there are caves that are warm in winter and cool in summer, there is no delicious lunch but there is delicious crocodile meat, there is no bard but I am here, I dare to say that I am the best in the world in terms of storytelling ability." ”

The reason why Unas dared to say this big thing is because he has seen so many movies, TV series, novels, and historical stories before, and if you think about what kind of stories you have in your memory, you can't finish telling them, and Helen, who loves to listen to legends, will never be bored with him.

As for the reply written to Duane, the other party's lion opened his mouth to bargain, and he could also open his mouth, didn't he say that he would exchange materials for supplies? The price paid by labor and management is unaffordable for you.

And the kidnapping of Duan's students, this deal will not be a loss, Duane will definitely not give up, and when he personally goes out, he will give the bottom line, maybe the two sides can reach a more reasonable agreement.

The ideal thing in Unas's heart is to meet three conditions, the first is of course according to the promise to the blood elves, the crystal production can only be shared with others after they meet them, and the second is to let Duane agree to keep Helen, although whether he agrees or not, Helen actually stays, and the third is very difficult, that is, let him personally lead the team to help in the battle, and it will be much easier for one more team of mages to help win.

Judging from his constant sending of people to negotiate, Duane's thirst for crystals was very urgent, and it was not impossible that these conditions would be met.

Unas ordered Helen to prepare the best of all kinds of accommodation, and arranged her tent next to Whiteman's, and the silver-haired prosecutor was so resolute that she was leaving, but her tent had not moved at all.

Unas seemed to have guessed correctly, Whitemane would not leave Helen behind, and in her opinion, having suffered so much, the opportunity to learn the art of resurrection was in front of her, and she would not give up because of the battle of words.

Unas first leads Helen to the Blood Elf's camp and introduces her to Arenas Fireleaf, where the new teacher teaches Helen the first lesson: Blood Elves tormented by demonic addiction.

All these tragic situations made Helen ashamed of her mission, the elemental crystal was the life-saving medicine of these elves, her mentor was trying to take the lives of others, she immediately wanted to go back to the monastery to stop him.

Unas hurriedly stopped her, and it would be difficult for her to be allowed to come again if she went back, and the Arcane Advisor who had managed to get her hands on it couldn't be lost again, "Leave everything to me." ”

One sentence convinced the female mage, Unas couldn't help but sigh, it is easy to communicate with people who worship and support him, on the contrary, it is a torment to talk to people who are prejudiced against him, such as the silver-haired prosecutor who comes to the door again in front of him.
