When the head of the red-robed mage fell to the ground, the mercenary captains, who were reporting and exposing each other, were all loyal to each other, and then they woke up like a dream, all trembling like chaff and as quiet as a cicada. Only then did they remember that their lives were theoretically still in each other's hands. Now that things are going like this, except for a few diehards like the second son of the group Beger, everyone is not clean, and everyone is now in the hands of the other party.

Now, it's up to the other party's intentions.

Well, seeing the lady of the proprietress smiling so clearly and brightly all the time, she should be a very kind and gentle healing girl next door, right? And doesn't it mean that the hearts of those who want to be mothers are softer...... That's weird! What's the deal with that head that fell to the ground? What's the point of the despair on the other party's face before he dies? Murder is still punishable, have you ever seen this kind of healing girl next door?

Then, I only saw the red-clothed Lori knight holding the war hammer, walking on short legs in front of the old mercenary Dwayne and the Argonian Vamoda. Without saying a word, she swung the hammer, and DuangDuang struck twice, smashing their heads on the spot.

The headless bodies of two famous mercenaries, who were famous on the road, lay on the ground like two dogs.

Having already restrained his coercion, the wind sat back on the chaise longue, and without looking at the three corpses, continued to eat the roast mutton. After a while, when the mercenary leaders who had fallen into a state of dead silence began to pull out the cold, she put down the plate, wiped her mouth, and said slowly: "After all, they have actual actions, so I gave the corresponding punishment." As for you...... Do you have any real actions? ”

"No, no! We, we are your employees! ”

"Why, where do you dare, since you are eating your food, of course I have to listen to you."

"Being your loyal dog is the greatest happiness. These wild dogs jumping up and down don't even know whose house they are, and they deserve to die! ”

"Don't you dare, I'm not a warlord, how can I let you mercenaries who have legal registration in the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer's Guild become my vassals?" Hurricane shook his head.

So, you just slaughtered the three mercenary captains with legal status like dogs, right? Which warlord can be as fierce as you?

"I'm just a small businessman now, and then I can earn a little legal income in peace, and I can raise my children in peace." The wind still touched his belly slowly with a motherly face, and then continued to say to everyone with a smile and a calm and gentle tone: "So, whoever wants me to be unhappy when I raise a baby, I have to make him unhappy for the rest of his life." ”

This is so informative, and for some reason, the mercenary leaders don't seem to have a sense of disobedience even if they are sitting here and saying this, the queen of a superpower like Auckland. As a result, they really didn't know what to say except to continue to reflexively beg for mercy and show their loyalty.

"Oops, I told you I'm just a businessman, you just need to do things according to the contract, you don't have to look like this." Hurry smiled and waved his hand at everyone, "I'm not a devil after all. As long as everyone safely delivers the hundreds of thousands of tons of goods to Elichar in accordance with the terms of the contract, then the contract is concluded. The rest of your honorariums will be paid on time. That's how businessmen do things. ”

Everyone continued to nod yes, and Hurricane nodded as well, signaling for the big bosses to go back and rest.

When the mercenaries left tremblingly, Shino put down the melon in his hand and said, "So, is this the play you invited me to watch?" The unfolding is not bad, and there is a reversal, but unfortunately it is too bland at the end. ”

"That's just the beginning." Blastwind smiled and replied, "Oh, I'm sorry to let you see another side of me." ”

"I'd be surprised if you didn't have that. If the current King of the Night Sky is really a silly and sweet girl next door, how could he have squeezed out the pus in it and washed it white in just a few years after taking over the Inspired Legion of Drence Talus. There's no reason for the Dragon Knights to do anything with you. ”

"As I said, I'm just an ordinary girl born and raised in the Neosfia neighborhood who wants to live a stable life."

Are you still called ordinary? Could it be a little more hypocritical? Don't think that if you have that smiling face, that kind of thing is really convincing.

"Well, Asuna, the mercenaries, though they are often disparaged as the wild dogs of war, I have dealt with them for many years, and I know the general situation of them. As long as you patiently persuade the law, you can still be a good helper. ”

What did you call persuasion? Well, well, nothing seems wrong either.

"It's impossible to expect them to fight tough battles, but fortunately, we're not going to face too many amazing opponents."

"What's more, the main force of the federal rebels has been completely defeated by Lu Xi with a small number of troops. All they had to do was march with arms and deliver supplies to Elichar safely. Right? Asuna added.

"So, I can hand them over to you, right?" Wind Channel.

Shino and Lifa exchanged a look. Others don't know, but they are also the top nobles of the high elves, but they do know, before Asuna followed Gillett to leave the Twilight Islands to become a famous adventurer, she served as the commander of the Silver Pegasus Knights, of course, she has experience in leading troops. In fact, the chambers of commerce and associations under the husband and wife were all organized and established by her, which can be seen from this.

No way, Killitt is essentially a martial arts lone ranger, and you can't count on his command.

Moreover, Asuna is also a well-known adventurer, and her prestige on the road is also very good. And in essence, there is actually no clear distinction between mercenaries and adventurers, and with the prestige of this healing (meow) wife, it is enough to make this group of mercenaries who have been transferred (meow) to teach for most of the night to be honest and obedient.

"So, I'm your mercenary now, right?" Asuna couldn't help but laugh.

"Just treat it as a friend to help, anyway, this time, everyone's participation is too high, and it's a bit self-deceptive to say that it's not a gang." Wind Channel.

Well, I always feel that something is wrong, this girl doesn't want to take the opportunity not to give money, right?

Asuna had just turned this thought through her mind, and the wind said again, "...... I didn't want to trouble you with this, but we also have reliable companions here who can lead these mercenaries. It's just that because of Lu Xi's arrangement, that person now has to use his talent to run errands temporarily. ”

"Oh, sure enough, the director of this so-called big drama is still that guy. So, what Gillit sent to Elichar were props on stage? Shino glanced at Lifa and couldn't help but smile. The corners of the latter's mouth twitched, and she still didn't know how to explain it to her family.

Why was he fooled by his brother and stole the collection in the house?

"Yes, but a big drama is still very exquisite. The props are complete, and we still have to wait for the actors to be in place. In this big play, I, a pregnant woman, have to be a small supporting role on the periphery, so that I can see the end with everyone. Tempest stood up, staring back at the Elven Dragon Knights and the dragons behind them.

"Lu Xi said, this is a big drama calling for the advent of a new era, this is a big drama for the coming of a new era. So, do you want to watch quietly, or do you want to join me in a small peripheral supporting role? ”

And almost at the same time, a small island in the county of Moore, in the eastern part of the Union, which was extremely remote, with almost negligible properties and population, but whose presence was so strong that even the princes could not look directly, was still as quiet and peaceful as ever, as it had always been. But at this moment, a small army was also being assembled.

It was the late autumn of the year 1228 of the Glorious Era, and the weather in Mor County, which was already not very good, was perhaps even worse under the influence of the particularly unpleasant black moon in the sky. Before November, a fog had arisen that covered the sky, the clouds, and the islands that floated in them, in a dense gray shadow.

Even birds are too lazy to come out to forage for food at such times, let alone people.

However, Colonel Donia, the captain of the battleship Red-Eyed Eagle, thought that the fog was really wonderful.

"Very well, with such fog cover, we will not alert the other side if we regroup. When the time comes, you can catch them off guard! He encouraged his subordinates.

It's a pity that the reaction of his subordinates is not too violent, which makes Mr. Captain very dissatisfied.

He does have a lot of people now. It's a pity that, like the "rabble" comment that the aristocratic coalition army can never fade, his command is also an army improvised from various places, departments, components, and even races, although there are about 2,000 people, but there is really no military fighting spirit.

The centerpiece of the force was the battleship Red-Eyed Eagle, which he had brought with him, with more than 200 sailors on board, and the 300 stormtroopers he had begged from the Squinting Commander. In addition, it was the troops he had recruited from the local Mor Shire. The county militia, which may not have a week's training time a year, is a garrison responsible for chasing large flying beasts and catching bandits outside the city, a vigilante who catches petty thieves inside the city, and even a battalionman who watches over boxes in the dock warehouse.

They really don't want to come, on the one hand, they are very self-aware and have no confidence in their own combat effectiveness; On the one hand, the whole of Moore knows whose territory is the remote island of the Rainbow Rose.

Go to that person's turf and make trouble? When we have a group of people who have to gather three or five people to eat watermelons for free, what is the waste? A demon god who experiences mortal life?

Oh, yes! The old one is dead, but the younger one, I heard that it is even more fierce!

However, since people want to eat in the rivers and lakes, there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory things. The current county guard and mayor are all side sons of the Gate Valve faction, and the big men of Elichar have forgotten their small place in the past, so they can naturally pretend to be confused as the Colorful Rose Island does not exist. But now, Colonel Donia came to the door in the name of the "Central Army", and they could only pinch their noses and accompany the smiling face helplessly. Since you are in line, of course, you can't help yourself.

Under the persecution of the fierce Colonel Donia, the two magistrates almost took the ** as the first to finally gather a "big army" of more than 1,000 people and handed it over. There's no way, although I heard that the small one on Colorful Rose Island is super fierce, but after all, it's a rumor, and now this very fierce one has been blocked at the door, what else can you do if you don't smash the pot and sell iron?

But since it is a rabble made up by smashing pots and selling iron, what morale can it have?

So, it has been almost half a day since the departure from the main city of Moore County, and now from the officers to the soldiers, they are all like eggplants, and their faces are full of mourning, and they don't know that they thought they were driven to attack Yongchen Palace as cannon fodder.

"Don't worry. The old Berencaster was dead, and the little Berencaster was gone, and by the time the Fourth Legion took office, he had taken all his elite retainers with him. Now that all that is left on the island is a group of old and weak women and children, what are you afraid of? And didn't I say it, this pervasive fog is simply a goddess help, and if we launch a surprise attack at this time, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard! ”

Why do you want to deal with a group of "old and weak women and children"? Look at what you can!

"Besides, what kind of place is that, the place of the inheritance of the Great Sage of Laxis, the Isle of Colorful Roses, where the Great Magus was born for generations. Their books, their treasures, their treasures, their treasures are there! Think about the loot you're about to get, right? You're dealing with a bunch of mud-legged people who haven't seen the world, but what you get is the future! ”

This was a bit dry, and the morale of the soldiers finally recovered a little.

"Okay, then let's get ready to act according to the original plan." Colonel Donia shouted loudly, and then arranged in an orderly manner: "According to the original plan, my stormtroopers will be dispatched as the leading vanguard to raid the castle and magic tower on the island as soon as possible. The ministries, according to the plan, occupy the villages, ports and granaries at the first time! Masters of the Battle Mage Team, please check your weapons, staffs, and scrolls one last time! Yes, the armor must be put on, and the robes must be neat. The staff is placed on the right-hand side, and the secondary weapon is placed on the left-hand side. The scroll is on the leg strap of the right thigh, and the potion is in the left pocket of the robe, so be sure to check them all again! Finally, check the featherfall pattern on your robe again to see if it is intact and functional! ”

After all, Colonel Donia is also a "backup professional group" from Dugu Castle, although he is not a spellcaster, but he has carefully studied the application of magic on the battlefield, and he is also familiar with all military drills. The above set is the standard equipment of the Federation Battle Mage, and it is also very particular about where to place the various weapon scroll medicines, at least for most spellcasters, this is the most convenient configuration.

As for the one-time Feather Fall Rune, it was specially sealed by Colonel Donia at the request of the senior mages in the army. He is a noble elite who has a burden to be treated, and he pulls it himself...... Well, if you make your own suggestions, then you must resolutely implement them. And since you want to attack Colorful Rose Island, even if you know that there is only a group of old and weak women and children on it, you must be a little planned.

According to his plan, three transports looted from County Mor would lead the stormtroopers and soldiers to land on the docks and occupy important targets such as villages. He will lead the Red-Eyed Eagle to fly directly over the castle, and the twelve battle mages will launch an airborne raid, while cracking the traps and mechanisms in the castle, and at the same time, the inside and outside should open the city gate to let the main force of the stormtroopers enter.

Infallible! He thought.

"Remember, if the villagers don't resist, don't do harm. The people in the castle also tried to stay alive as much as possible. We want hostages, not corpses! Colonel Donia said.

"Remember, don't kill indiscriminately!" He added, after all, important things to say on both sides.

"Remember......" he was about to say a third time, when a voice suddenly came from outside the ship.

"What are you doing here?"
