In the manor where the Xuanyuan adventure group lives.

In the living room of the main house, Han Shan sat in the sofa chair, holding her forehead with one hand and closing her eyes in contemplation. Around her, more than a dozen companions sat or stood, casually busy with their own business.

It's just that when everyone is busy, they still turn their attention to Han Shan's position from time to time, paying attention to her every move.

Suddenly, Han Shan spoke: "The troops of Prailly Castle have set off, and it is Lord Neo who leads the team. ”

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding people suddenly put aside the things at hand and surrounded them.

"Can you tell where they're going?" Li Xiang perked up and quickly asked.

"Look at the direction of their march, it's Dink Village!" Han Shan replied.

After hearing this, Li Xiang immediately turned his attention to the map on the table indoors, and Yang Qianyu used a pen to mark the current movements of the Centaur tribes in the Prairly Territory and the surrounding area. Li Xiang looked at the map, nodded slightly, and said, "Lao Yang, I really let you guess." Kasha wanted to annihilate the centaur tribe from Linjun first, and then concentrate on consolidating other outer defense points after removing the threat from behind them - yes, Han Shan. Have you observed how many troops Kashya has sent? ”

"I did the math, there were about two hundred." Han Shan replied.

"Two hundred?" Li Xiangyi frowned. "That's already a third of the troops left behind to defend Prailly Castle, right?"

In this defensive battle, Kasha mobilized all the troops in the territory and hired many mercenary groups to help in the battle. At this time, there were more than 2,400 troops in the Prairly domain (more than 1,800 people were the militia formed spontaneously by the Knights, the local escorts and the villages, and the remaining 600 people belonged to several mercenary teams), in addition to the militia of the villages, the main force that could be used for the battle was 1,000 men of the Rogge Knights and 500 escorts of the lords in the territory. Among them, there were 100 men stationed in the village of Dink, which bordered the hinterland of Brettnia, and 200 men in each of the four villages bordering the area of centaur activity abroad, and several mercenary teams were also attached to the four heavily garrisoned villages, and some of the key villages along the way were also stationed with dozens of guards of various sizes. In addition, there is the team that stayed in the castle as a reserve force, and this mobile force has a total of 600 people.

"At present, Kasha can only send troops of this size to support Dink Village." Yang Qianyu muttered: "According to the current situation, there is also a centaur scout team outside the country, and the brigade may break into the Prairly territory at any time. With them on the periphery, Kasha couldn't devote all his strength to dealing with the Centaur tribe attacking Dink Village. ”

"Shall we send any more reinforcements?" Li Xiang looked at Yang Qianyu and asked.

"Of course I want to go." Yang Qianyu said categorically: "With only these two hundred people of Lord Neo, even if they wipe out the centaur tribe that attacked Dink Village, I am afraid it can only be a miserable victory." This will undoubtedly be very detrimental to the next battle. What's more, the gold and furnace (Lu Yuan's nickname) are still in Dink Village. In case of accidents, we also have to send people to support them. Besides-" Yang Qianyu spread his hands. "What about the experience value of hundreds of centaurs, I guess everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, right?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the companions around him either showed a sneer that had been exposed, or a pretended disdainful snort, or a nod of affection. In short, Yang Qianyu's last reason can be regarded as saying everyone's heart.

“…… Alas, well. Li Xiang looked at the demeanor of the people in the room, and knew that if he didn't send people to 'support' Shi Jinxin in Dink Village, they would definitely be angry, so he could only agree. Then send a team of four there. It's just -- who to send? ”

"Me!"

"I'll go!"

"I'll go too!"

"Send me!"

"Or I'll ......"

As soon as Li Xiang spoke, there was a sudden uproar in the house, and everyone wanted to receive this support task. The reason for this is the mutual help of companions, as is the desire to gain experience points.

"Stop arguing!" Yang Qianyu frowned and shouted, "What does it look like to be so noisy?!" ”

Although Yang Qianyu looks calm and light on weekdays, once he is angry, he is quite majestic. Seeing this, everyone quieted down and looked at Yang Qianyu.

"The old rules." After Yang Qianyu calmed everyone, he took out a long wooden jar from his storage space, took out a slender stick painted with various colors on one end, put it in the jar and shook it a few times. "Draw lots - draw the red lottery to carry out this mission! Do you have any comments? ”

Everyone nodded in agreement - this is also the most common method of grouping when they are working in groups. There are a total of 32 people who cross the crowd, and most of the tasks are usually performed in groups of four, so the drawing is divided into eight groups of colors: 'red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'green', 'blue', 'purple', and 'white'.

Everyone quickly drew lots, and the results were soon revealed - 'Blood Mage' Bai Yang, 'Beast Tamer' Zhao Bin, 'Demon Hunter' Ruan Kunpeng and 'Arcane Witch' Liu Chang won the red lot, and the rest of the people put back the lottery in disappointment, and watched the four of them prepare for departure with envy.

"Remember, don't be reckless and stay safe." Li Xiang told the four of them: "Your group has Dapeng as the captain. Dapeng, you are the strongest, take care of the other partners. ”

"Boss, don't worry." Ruan Kunpeng replied solemnly - as one of the first four companions in the team to advance to the fourth rank, Ruan Kunpeng naturally knew that he had a lot of responsibility.

……

Seeing the four healthy horses leave the manor and leave, Li Xiang's eyes moved from the window back to the house to look at everyone. "Don't be discouraged, we have to arrange more people to garrison the villages on the border, everyone is afraid that no one will be idle in this battle."

The rest of the crowd made a noise when they heard this, and finally calmed down the frustration of not being selected before.

After some distribution, the four-person team led by the 'Watcher' Xue Xiaojing, the 'Lich' Fu Bin, the 'Abyss Lord' Xu Wenjie, and the 'Death Knight' Liu Tianyu were assigned tasks by Li Xiang and each set off to the village to help defend. Suddenly there were only a few people left in the room.

"I'm sorry, guys." Li Xiang looked at his companions who were still present and said apologetically, "We are going to stay here for the time being, and we are ready to assist other companions at any time." Lao Yang - You and I each have a team, and everyone's support depends on you and me. ”

Yang Qianyu nodded when he heard this, and he accepted it.

－

On the way to Dink Village.

Ruan Kunpeng and the four of them quickly caught up with the team of Lord Neo, who was one step ahead, because they were lightly armed and obedient. Upon learning that the four had come to help, Lord Neo was overjoyed. Originally, he was a little worried because of the lack of superiority in troops, but now that the four of Ruan Kunpeng have joined, Lord Neo suddenly felt that his confidence in fighting with the centaur tribe was three points stronger. Similarly, the sergeants in the team were also more and more demoralized because of the addition of the four. The crowd hurried to the location of Dink Village.
