The Silver Ridge Fortress is located under the only fairly flat mountain belly in this area, like a strong gate, which can block the offensive from the opposite side of the Silver Ridge, and the main army of the barbarians was stopped outside the Silver Ridge by the Silver Ridge Fortress.

Although the barbarians are good at mountain warfare, they also have a fatal weakness, that is, they are not good at attacking fortified positions, and the barbarians are simply helpless in the face of this strong fortress.

And here except for this road, the rest of the place can not pass through the large army at all, the small branch of the barbarians can quietly pass through some dangerous mountain roads without knowing their ears and eyes, but the number of people is large, it is bound to attract the attention of the human army, and when the time comes, only need to ambush on the mountain road, and the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, the barbarian generals came up with a solution that did not have a solution, that is, to break it into pieces and divide it into small teams to intersperse the past, and it was precisely this tactic that hit the weakness of the Wang ** team.

That's why there was a follow-up mercenary recruitment!

The one in charge of receiving An Xu was a general named Lu Qi, and when he entered the fortress, the middle-aged general was frowning, obviously thinking about an extremely troublesome matter.

An Xu's arrival made Lu Qi's eyes light up, and he said to An Xu: "A few days ago, I received a letter that there would be a mercenary team coming to support, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, it just so happens that I have a very important matter here that I need your help with." ”

"Lord Lu Qi, are we the first team to arrive?" An Xu said strangely, if they were the first mercenary team to arrive from Hidden Moon City, it would not be surprising, but there were several other cities that were relatively close to the Liyinling Fortress, such as Heyuan City, which was only half a day's journey from here, and no one came?

"Hey, you don't know, and you don't know who spread the news that Yinling Fortress is about to fall, and the people in the nearby cities have long run out, and the rest are almost all people who are old, young, sick and disabled, and have no way to leave their hometowns, and those mercenaries have no tasks to take over, and they have gone to other places!" Lu Qi sighed.

"I wonder if you have any tasks for us to do?"

"Recently, the barbarian squad has been rampant, several transport teams have been attacked by them, there is a shortage of materials in the fortress at present, and the transport team needs to go to the material station immediately to deliver materials, you have come at the right time, the task of escorting will be handed over to you, those barbarians are everywhere, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to prevent their sneak attacks."

"It's strange, we came all the way, and we didn't find any trace of the barbarians at all!" An Xu was puzzled, he had carefully observed on the road just now, not to mention the barbarians, and there was not even a trace of the appearance of the barbarians.

"Do you know that in order to hide their whereabouts, those barbarian squads have always only selected important targets to attack, such as the transport team, every time they rob and leave, we can't spare a large number of people to search for them, after all, defending the fortress is our most important task."

"Okay, I see!" An Xu responded, but he didn't expect that the first thing he did when he first arrived at the fortress was not to clear the barbarian squad, but to transport supplies, which was much more difficult than taking the initiative to attack.

"You are not soldiers, and I don't talk to you about so many rules, anyway, there is only one goal of the mission, which is to ensure that the transport team can transport the supplies back, and after completing the task, you will be given the corresponding points, and when you return to the mercenary hall, you can receive payment according to the wrong points!" Lu Qi said.

An Xu asked uneasily: "We are new to the city, and we don't know much about the characteristics of the barbarian squad, can you give us a rough introduction, and we can find a way to deal with it in advance." ”

"Of course, those barbarians are generally a team of 12 people, and the combat power of ordinary barbarian soldiers is about one star high, and the individual captain level is slightly higher, between two and four stars, considering that the goal of the transport team is more obvious, there may be several barbarian squads at the same time, so you must be careful!" Lu Qi explained.

An Xu nodded, and had a bottom in his heart, with the current configuration of the team, he encountered one or two barbarian squads, and the danger was not great, so he was worried about encountering a large group of barbarian soldiers in ambush.

"The convoy itself will also have a troop with them, in order to hide the news, so I won't tell them your identity, you can wait until the critical moment to do it, since the mercenary guild introduced you here, so I also believe in your ability, each of these soldiers is important, if you can, please protect them as much as possible."

"Direction, do your best!" An Xu said solemnly.

After the negotiations, An Xu and their leadership, Lu Qi, changed into ordinary military standard light armor, only the weapons were still retained, and when passing by the barracks, An Xu saw a cluster of strange camps.

"Lord Lu Qi, where is it?" An Xu always felt that the style of the camp was somewhat familiar.

That is to say, people like An Xu An Xu who don't know anything about military affairs will ask questions as soon as they enter the fortress, and if they change to some sensitive topics, they may be arrested as spies.

Fortunately, Lu Qi knew that An Xu was just a mercenary, and it was not a secret there, so he replied: "There is a team sent by the Kingdom Demon Martial Academy to support, so I divided a camp for them separately, but they also helped a lot, these are the pillars of the country's future!" ”

It turned out to be the team of the Demon Martial Academy, no wonder it was so familiar, but occasionally I saw a few people, all of whom were very face-to-face, probably the Demon Martial Arts Branch in another city.

The matter of transporting supplies was very urgent, and it didn't take long for Lu Qi to arrange the transport team, and An Xu and them blended into the escort team, and began to set off with the transport team.

As soon as he walked out of the fortress, An Xu began to concentrate highly in order to deal with unexpected situations. Suddenly, the carriage beside him shook for a moment, revealing a pair of furry ears.

"Don't move, lest anyone find out!" An Xu scolded, and then quietly put up the cover on the truck.

Because Doudou's body size is too special, it is easy to attract the attention of others, so An Xu let them hide in the truck, anyway, they are small and light, and they can't take up much space.

"Damn, it's all hay on it, it's too prickly!" Doudou whispered.

"Doudou, don't move, I'm going to fall!" This is Xu Wei's voice.

"Bear with me, it won't be long before it arrives, shhhh An Xu saw a soldier leaning over and quickly asked Doudou to stop talking.

"Don't be too nervous, those barbarian thieves, we have just walked out of the fortress, they will not be interested, only when they come back, they may be targeted!" Seeing An Xu's serious face, the soldier thought he was a rookie and signaled him not to worry too much.

Escorting convoys is a very dangerous job, and it is not uncommon for new recruits to come in to replenish the staff, and these soldiers have no suspicion of joining them.

"Hmm!" An Xu replied and asked, "Are there often barbarians on this road?" ”

The soldier said: "It's not very common, some time ago it was quite peaceful, occasionally I will meet one or two times, that is, these barbarians seem to have taken the wrong medicine recently, and they appear frequently, and they should cheer up when they return to the meeting, in case of danger, don't rush up indiscriminately, remember to follow the team, those barbarians are powerful." ”

"Thank you, big brother, I'll pay attention!" An Xu showed a simple smile, and then quietly glanced at Ivan who was diagonally behind, Ivan understood, slowly slowed down, came to the end of the line, and took advantage of no one to pay attention, and got into the bushes next to the road.

Although this convoy also has scouts, their sensitivity to danger may not be comparable to Ivan, who often travels alone, archers and thieves have always been the most suitable scouts, and with Ivan scouting ahead, the possibility of being ambushed is greatly reduced.

The soldier who talked to An Xu was called Wang Chang, who could be regarded as a veteran, and it was estimated that he had been in the army for a long time and was so panicked that he couldn't stop talking as soon as a new person joined.

An Xu was also happy to ask him about some precautions in the battlefield, while guarding the surroundings, the twenty-mile journey was not too far, and before the sun went down, the convoy arrived at the material station in Lu Qikou.

It is said to be a supply station, but in fact it is a small village and town, the civilians in the town have long been transferred, and the soldiers of the legion have been transformed into a medium-sized fortification, which is open and guarded by a large number of soldiers, but they are not too worried about being attacked.

The captain of the transport team took the order and quickly got the materials to be used, and in order to avoid Doudou and others being discovered, An Xu consciously took on the task of loading the goods.

"Let's go, there's a shortage of supplies in the fortress, we need to send these things back immediately." The captain gave an order, and the convoy returned the same way without stopping.
