Chapter Eighty-Seven: Temporary Planning

The calm of the past few days has not paralyzed the mind of the regiment leader, and both he and Battle, who have experienced the experience, feel that the success of the previous few days does not represent anything, and the calmer it is, the more abnormal it is.

Since accepting the commission, Chief Kevin has learned as much as possible about the attack on the Marquise de Ryder and his party, and personally led the team to the scene of the incident to investigate, all kinds of traces and details left by the fight show that it was not the so-called "accident with the passing thieves" at all, but a premeditated attack, fortunately the Marquis Mansion at that time was very sufficient, and sacrificed as many as a dozen stalwarts to repel the attackers, otherwise it would not have survived the moment of returning to the city.

Kevin is convinced that with the fiery eyes he has cultivated over the years, there is no reason to make a mistake in judgment.

So the question is, since he is the enemy of Marquis Ryder, there is no reason to give up this best opportunity to defeat the opponent, and kill all the direct bloodline heirs of Marquis Ryder once and for all, wouldn't it be better than other ways to completely defeat him mentally and substantially?

Besides, since she is an enemy, there must be no reason why she should not know everything about the Marquise de Ryder, the person who gave the orders of this trip, and may even have planted spies around her a long time ago, and induced her to fall into the net through people who knew her temperament well. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain why the Marquise de Ryder, who lived in the royal capital all the year round and only knew how to show off her beauty and beauty, or to show off her wealth with other noble ladies, would know a certain valley in the wilderness, and the so-called "benefits" that would reduce the time of walking there, so she took the initiative to ask to change the route.

Just like the old people in the family often say, there must be a demon when things go wrong.

Boldly asked the butler of the Marquis's Mansion to take him to the carriage, and as soon as Kevin mentioned the suggestion to return to the original route, there was a sharp and dissatisfied refutation from the carriage, and the tone and tone showed that it was the noble Marquise herself who was angry with the mercenary leader.

I only heard her say quite meanly: "I said that the head of the group, I finally know now that you not only have a dark complexion, but you can't see a human figure at night, it turns out that compared to your appearance, your heart is really black! Black is pure! Black is translucent! I was still pondering before, why as a man, your teeth are so white, so white that women are jealous? It turns out that it is because you are dark from the inside out, forcing all the light elements in your body to squeeze only to your teeth!"

The burly mercenary captain flirted with women a lot, but he had never learned that the noble lady appeared in the posture of a shrew scolding the street, and was suddenly shocked to be foreign and tender, and opened his mouth in surprise, and a mouthful of bright white teeth appeared in the sun, and he really had a bit of a white and shiny demeanor, which seemed to prove that the Marquise de Ryder did not scold him wrong.

"Since we have already reached the mouth of the valley, we have to change the route, what kind of reason is this? Captain Kevin, shouldn't you really have reached an ulterior motive with some people, so you have to take our family to death? Or do you see that I and the girls are beautiful, and you are going to simply rob money and lust to satisfy the lust of you and your subordinates?"

As an outstanding member of the circle of noblewomen in the circle of noblewomen of the Biznis Kingdom, the Marquise de Ryder is undoubtedly a person who understands thoroughly and implements the exemplification, and strikes hard at the opponent next to the car.

Well, this attitude, this posture. The words were fast and ruthless, even with extreme punishment, the first few sentences were just not good, and when it came to the end, it was already very loud, blocking the head of Kevin, who had just started, with nothing to say, so he could only bow down.

Battle, who was trying to help next to him, was even more full of black lines, and he couldn't understand what kind of creature the brutal girls in the carriage were, so manic, whether they could understand people's words or not, and whether they could communicate normally!

"And you, Clay! Listen to Mrs. Ben, if you dare to bring an unknown man to the carriage without my permission, Mrs. Ben will never spare you!"

The spearhead turned to the fat butler who led Kevin's party, and the Marquise once again made people understand what the difference in rank was.

Poor Steward Clay could only make amends, and quietly made a "leave quickly" gesture to the mercenary leader.

Kevin and Battle, who had fled in disgrace again, immediately convened an emergency meeting as soon as they returned to the regiment, and called all the personnel in the team with strength above the third level, regardless of their profession and attributes, regardless of their profession and attributes, whether they were soldiers, archers, mages, or priests, and one counted as one, to the side of the road for discussion.

In the past few years, it is natural that there will be difficulties in encountering obstacles that cannot be overcome, no, isn't this going into the valley? Naturally, it is "humble and like a valley", brainstorming, and hastening to do a good job of temporary planning.

Due to the urgency of the situation, after the head of the regiment introduced the general situation in a few words, he asked everyone present to give their opinions, making it clear that the speech must be as concise as possible, to ensure that the discussion is completed within ten minutes, otherwise God knows that the marquise, who is obviously in the water in her head and has the highest status, will think that they are plotting something.

In that case, even if he was lucky enough to pass through the Jacobite Valley safely, he and the Black Lion Mercenary Group would never have a good life again.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily end well now.

For a while, poor Captain Kevin was in a very depressed mood, and almost thought that only by encountering an ambush in the valley could he wash away the innocence of himself and the mercenaries beside him, even if he had to pay the price of blood.

"I think the only way to prepare for the worst is to leave the strong man behind or to break forward. Once you are ambushed, depending on the situation, you can choose to concentrate your forces forward or break backward. As for the mother-in-law's family, try your best to save the marquis's eldest son, and forget the others. Anyway, that mother-in-law is already this age, her figure is likely to be out of shape, and her temper is stinky, maybe in the position of the real lady, the marquis has long thought about changing to a young and beautiful person, let's help him casually. ”

The first to speak up was another deputy head of the regiment who doesn't talk much on weekdays, the pastor "White Crane".

Seeing that the deputy head of the regiment took the lead in expressing his views quickly, and by the way, he was "enthusiastic and thoughtful" to help Marquis Ryder consider the major events of his life, and the backbone of the mercenaries present all looked like they were taken for granted, and they were not surprised at all. It seems that in the important moments in the past, the priest is undoubtedly the think tank in the Black Lion Mercenary Group, and even the heavy responsibility of the "military advisor" is also shouldered, as for the "black belly" skill that is essential for the profession of military advisor, it is also quite excellent, which impresses the simple Normer.

"I'm in favor. Anyway, as long as we can leave a seed with a handle for the marquis, even if we are benevolent and righteous, we can give an explanation to the marquis. "A mercenary with five big and three thick took the lead in supporting, looking at the aura on his body, he also has about a fifth-level cultivation, and he can be regarded as the strength of the top ten in this regiment.

"I'm in favor of it too. This response is the "greyhound".

"I agree with the pastor. ”

"Seconded the motion. ”

A cadre of mercenary backbones expressed their stance in a gossipy manner, and they all supported the proposal put forward by the deputy head of the "White Crane".

The Marquise de Ryder's disregard of the mercenaries as human beings obviously annoyed them, and they did not even want to see the children she had born, and if it were not for the safety of the Marquis's eldest son, they wished that this group of unscrupulous gentlemen who rode on their heads and scattered wild horses would be killed. As for the plump marquise herself, judging from the vulgar views of the mercenaries, it is better to let her, who thinks she is alive, fall into the hands of the enemy, be pressed under the other man, and fully feel their extraordinary enthusiasm of "going deep and simple", otherwise I am really sorry for her insistence on bringing the whole group of people to the funeral.

The small leaders under his command had quickly come to an agreement, and Kevin turned his gaze to the three Normers, waiting for their opinions.

The boy understood as soon as he saw the expression of the head of the regiment, and immediately raised his hand in approval.

Although it was a little strange why it was the boy and not Plitander who came forward to make a statement, according to George, the old mage was the leader of this small team, but Kevin saw that the old butler was smiling and not speaking the whole time, and thought that he was deliberately testing the young man in the family and cultivating his decisiveness when dealing with dangerous situations, seeing that the old butler did not object, the mercenary leader also acquiesced to the common opinion of the three of them.

"Then it's settled. Kevin looked around at the crowd around him and began to assign tasks: "The 'eagle' will take your brothers to spy ahead, and the trick will be brighter, don't let people make dumplings." ”

"Understood. ”

A man who looked capable nodded in response, thinking that he had always been responsible for leading the team as a scout.

"Battle leads the way, and you have the final say in the event of an abnormality. Hansen, Nico, and Litt followed, all at the orders of the deputy head of the regiment. ”

"Understood. Battle responded succinctly and forcefully. The three small leaders named by Kevin also agreed, among which Hansen was the fifth-level mercenary with five big and three thick.

"The priest is in the center, ready to respond to the end of the line, and you guys are following. The mercenary leader circled several small leaders with his fingers, and asked them to follow the "White Crane" priest to guard the middle of the team, and prepare to take over the front and rear departments.

The priest accepted the task very calmly, and several mercenaries under his command spontaneously approached him, so that they could wait for the order of the deputy head of the "White Crane" for a while.

Kevin looked at Plitander, thought for a moment and said, "Master Plitander is still in the middle of the group with two young men. It's just that the person in charge of protection should be changed, and the position should be moved a little later, and it will be changed to the carriage that guards the eldest son of the Marquis of Ryder, so as to ensure his safety as much as possible. As soon as the situation changes, or the situation is not good and it is necessary to break out, I will try to come and meet you in person, and together escort the Marquis's eldest son out of the valley. As for the original task of escorting the Marquise and the eldest daughter, Julie and the others took over. ”

After speaking, the mercenary leader pointed to the only female mercenary among the small leaders.

There were nearly ten female mercenaries sent by the regiment to carry out the mission this time, but only this one named Julie had reached the third level of strength, so she was the only one who was qualified to attend this emergency meeting. The adjustment made by Kevin happened to swap the three Normer and Julie and the others with the original objects they were protecting.

"Notice that the three people who are the protectors are actually the most important of all. If we fail in our mission and fail to return the rest of the Marquis Ryder's family to the royal capital safely, his eldest son alone will be able to reduce nearly half of the compensation that our regiment needs to bear, and our regiment will continue to survive. But if we can't even keep the marquis's eldest son, our Black Lion mercenary group will be bankrupt, and we won't be able to pay a huge amount of compensation, let alone bear the marquis's subsequent revenge. ”

Head Kevin solemnly confessed to Plitander, "Presumably, the mage also knows what the anger of the first powerful marquis in power in the royal capital means to us. Old George said that you are your own people, and you can rely on it at the critical moment, so please leave everything to the three of you. ”

Plitander nodded solemnly to Kevin, indicating that he fully understood his concerns and was willing to accept such a heavy entrusted responsibility.

Then he said to Julie, "You should also protect the marquises as much as you can." Of course, if you really can't stand it, everything is important to save yourself, don't just lose your life casually, it's not worth it for her. The mercenary leader admonished.

Julie nodded hurriedly and agreed.
