Chapter 1720: Preparing for War
Maybe it's physical adaptation, maybe it's psychological numbness.
The heart that had been shaken by the same kind of blade in his hand had become as hard and heavy as a rock before he knew it.
Since then, my enemies are no longer single monsters, but also those of the same kind who want to kill for money.
When the old duke asked me if any of my family members and companions who had participated in the battle had any experience of the same kind of blades, I answered truthfully no.
The old duke was quite worried about this.
To be honest, I don't have confidence in my family in this regard, but in the face of the old duke's doubts, I have to stand up for my family and partners - "Don't look at them as unreliable a lot of times, but once they get serious, they will work harder than anyone else." β
Obviously, the old duke didn't want to believe me, but he accepted my reason with a smile anyway.
That night, I inspected the weapons and equipment of each member of the battle, and the maintenance and maintenance of weapons and equipment is a must for every adventurer, they are not only the ones who eat, but also the prerequisite for life.
Especially in the face of similar battles, these two things are even more important.
Humans and monsters are different.,A considerable number of monsters have limited intelligence.,Maybe they don't know how to trap tactics.,And some monsters only know how to hit head-on.,Never consider killing people with hidden arrows.,And humans are different.γ
Compared to the vast majority of monsters, humans are intelligent, they have relatively high intelligence, know how to use tools, know how to distribute forces, know how to fight in formation, know how to command tactics, and know how to intrigue and tricks.
They will set up all kinds of hidden weapons, and are good at hurting people with hidden arrows, and they like to use sideways to achieve their goals.
And all of this is just to reduce their own losses and satisfy the dark heart.
This is true of the corpse thieves, the adventurers who seek to kill for their money, and the current president of the Knights of the Round Table, Skasa!
Of course, I am no different.
I would not describe myself as a gentleman of high moral character and above board.
I'm just an ordinary person, I have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, I also understand intrigues, and I don't shy away from hypocrisy, if you don't offend me, everyone will be safe, and make money in harmony, if you offend me, then I'm sorry, I will try my best to repay it by all means.
I won't do anything to repay grievances with virtue, but I can do things to repay grievances with grievances better than anyone else.
After checking the equipment, I began to lay out the positions and tasks of each person.
Barbara, Florence, and the maids, as they were not fit for the battle, were placed under the hostess, and told the lady that after we set out tomorrow, they would take them to Balancheng, and by the way, they could also observe Barbara's cafΓ©.
This suggestion was strongly opposed by Barbara, who stated that she was also a member of the Fearless Guild and wanted to participate in the battle, only to be succumbed to a blow from the boss's wife.
She clutched her head with tears in her eyes, and threw a pitiful look at me for help.
But this time, I don't plan to follow her temperament, this is a war, if you are not careful, you will be injured and die, we are okay as an adventurer, but you are not even an adventurer, only with a relatively agile body and sharp nails, how can you be the opponent of a sword and axe!
But I couldn't bear Barbara's pitiful little expression, sighed, and said, "It's impossible to accompany you, but I can find you something interesting to do." β
Barbara's eyes flashed, and she suddenly forgot the big bag on her head, and a pair of cat ears spun around, expectantly, "What's interesting?" β
"Don't you like to eat white fish, I can introduce you to a restaurant to have a good time, and it is also a variety of flavors of white fish dishes, to ensure that you are satisfied, how about it?"
Food is fatal to foodies, and Barbara immediately agreed to my suggestion, but she pouted and said, "Oh, oops, I didn't bring my wallet." β
I obviously saw that there was a bulging pile of stuff in the right pocket of the dress she was wearing, and when she shook her body, it would make a crackling metal sound, and it was a particularly crisp sound, exactly the same as the sound of gold colliding, and judging by its bulging shape, it was definitely a bag full of gold coins!
With a bag of gold coins and I crying poor, this nonsense doesn't even make drafts.
My eyes twitched, I smiled helplessly, and said, "Don't worry, that restaurant is mine, you can eat it, you don't need money." β
Barbara was satisfied.
After arranging the non-combatants, I started arranging the combatants again.
The protagonist of this battle must be Godot, after all, this is a revenge battle exclusive to him, and others can try not to interfere as much as possible.
In addition to him, the main melee personnel were Zach, Jackson, Billy, and me, and Phoenix and Cagalli wanted to join the melee bands as well, but I refused, and their main task was to protect the ranged attack members and support members.
The ranged attack members are naturally Bai Yunying, Yura, Lirea, Princess Aurora, and Loki.
The auxiliary ranged attacker is Lily, the little girl is full of magic, and the magic missile is as dense as the barrage, but in addition to the ordinary magic missile and the charged magic missile, I haven't seen her use the third attack magic, so she can only be arranged in the ranks of the auxiliary ranged attackers, and she is the only one in this ranks.
Lily shuddered when she heard this, thinking she was isolated, and I told her that it was not because she was the only one who was capable of doing the battle, and no one else could.
Then Lily was happy, so the naΓ―ve little Lori was very easy to deal with.
As Princess Aurora's personal bodyguard, Mi Lulu naturally never left Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I didn't arrange a place for her.
Except for the above members, the rest of them are all included in the ranks of auxiliary members, even Xiao Qi is no exception.
When I was done, I said to Taylor, "Old man, would you like to go and taste the food of Dasai City as well?" β
The old man glanced at me and said, "Do you dislike the old man, do you remember who pulled you back from the brink of death in the first place?" β
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and scolded, "Ungrateful bastard! β
I'm embarrassed, how can I be disgusted, but I have always treated you as my own grandfather, isn't this afraid that something will happen to you!
Godot, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth to persuade me: "The old man's priest is much stronger than me, and it always does no harm to bring him." β
Sighing, I said helplessly: "Okay, but old man, let's talk about it first, you can join the war, but you must always be with Xiao Qi, once there is a wind and grass, immediately jump on Xiao Qi's back to escape, but you are not allowed to hold on!" β
"Got it" Taylor took a sip of wine and muttered dissatisfiedly, "This bastard boy is even more verbose than Cuika!" β
