Volume 5 Legendary Mentor Chapter 154 Shabak Alliance
Ye Fengliu took advantage of the fact that Shang Yi, Li Hui and He-Man were paying attention to Hui Niang and Master Mengji, and secretly kicked the toad butt in front of him with his toes, and the toad immediately flew out with a scream, quickly overtaking the other three similar ones who were not far from the finish line, and just stuck their heads into the sand behind the finish line.
"Haha, I won, tonight's life is yours!" Ye Fengliu crossed his hands and laughed proudly.
"No, you're cheating! ...... "It's a pity that his small actions were seen by the heroes of Hongming Village who were hanging upside down in the air, and the heroes who were crying for their fathers and mothers just now immediately began to crusade against Ye Fengliu's shameless behavior in unison.
There is no way, it is a matter of life and death, but the four little villains just now said that the toad lost in the toad race walking competition and the "meat ticket" behind him will be stewed into the cauldron together and used as dinner!
"......" Ye Fengliu glared at these bold robbers in annoyance, but unfortunately Shang Yi and He-Man's small fists had already beckoned to his head, and Li Hui turned to Ye Fengliu behind him expressionlessly and aimed at his ass with a fast springing foot......
Hui Niang and Meng Ji immediately petrified when they saw this scene, and the magnificent monument that belonged to Ye Fengliu in their hearts had collapsed.
The moonlight was like water, the camp in the oasis was steaming, and everyone squatted in the small tents and happily ate stewed mutton and drank mare's milk wine.
The heroes of Hongming Village diligently waited for Ye Fengliu, who was like a panda lying on the velvet carpet, and the fleshy praise poured out of their mouths like flowing water, making Ye Fengliu smile and completely forget the humiliation he had just received.
These heroes of the Red Famous Village praised it sincerely at this time, you must know that when they surrounded the four members of the princess cultivation group who were dizzy by the wind and wanted to rob them, they were instantly beaten down by Ye Fengliu alone.
After briefly recounting what happened to each other after parting, Ye Fengliu and the others had a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation.
Soon after Hui Niang and the other villagers of Fujia Village successfully escaped to Hongming Village, Meng Ji quickly found them through the underground property left in Mengzhong Earth City by the White Horse Guild.
At this time, Monji already knew that the leader of the Knights of Justice who appeared in Nanming Town was the princess, so he simply supported the stone who was inadvertently awarded the title of knight by the princess, and officially turned the village of Red Ming into the base camp of the Knights of Justice.
After that, Hui Niang held the stone and began to contact the various forces of the League, trying to recruit in the name of the princess.
It's a pity that the various forces in the desert don't sell the princess's righteous knights, but because of Mengji's face and the names of Ye Fengliu, Shang Yi and Li Hui, the three legendary braves, they still perfunctorily agreed to change the black market rally held in Shabak on October 10 to the Shabak Alliance by the way.
"Meng Ji and Hui Niang just expected that the alliance would not go well, and they should not have imagined that the alliance would be able to carry out, which in itself is not normal."
"Maybe there are other forces besides Hui Niang and Meng Ji who want to carry out the alliance, so they secretly promoted the progress of the alliance, if this is the case, then the purpose of the forces behind all this is worth playing."
Ye Fengliu deduced that the affairs of the alliance would never be so simple, so he first asked Meng Ji to use the Flying Eagle to contact Mu Zhengchu, the current president of the White Horse Guild in Bairimen, and inform him to raise food and grass to reinforce the Sealing Demon City as soon as possible. Then he asked Monji with the usual face:
"Mengji, do you know what the forces of the alliance are? Which of the biggest forces participated in the alliance? ”
Although Meng Ji had been living in the Sealed Demon City before, he had been committed to expanding the scale of the Knights of Justice in the League during this time, and had already done a detailed investigation of the surrounding forces, so when he heard Ye Fengliu's question, he immediately replied:
"Master Hui, the forces in this alliance are complicated, and the most important force naturally belongs to the second heavy armored infantry regiment stationed in the league heavy earth city. Of course, they could not have come to join the Shabak Alliance, because the purpose of our Alliance was essentially to target the king's army. ”
"Except for the heavy infantry regiment, the rest of the forces that can be ranked in the league are basically sent to participate in the alliance. Among them, the largest force is the rogue in the desert, and the most powerful among them is the Sand Sculpture Gang, which probably has nearly a thousand brave men......"
"That...... Mongi, wait a minute? Ye Fengliu interrupted Meng Ji's words with a strange expression, "You said that the most powerful sand bandit is called the Sand Sculpture Gang?" Why did they take that name? ”
"Implication is the eagle in the desert!" Meng Ji said with a strange face: "What's strange about this name?" Most of those sand bandits are named after the beasts or monsters in the desert, the second largest sand bandit is called the Coyote Gang, and the third ranked sand bandit is called the Beetle Gang. Master, is there something secret in this name? ”
"Uh......" Ye Fengliu said with an embarrassed face: "It's nothing, I just feel that the name sand sculpture is a little familiar, so I asked casually, don't care, and continue." ”
"Okay," Meng Ji didn't care when he heard this, and continued: "In addition to the sand bandits in the League, the power of the major mercenary guilds should not be underestimated. Of course, the three great guilds of the Dao, the Battle, and the Law are not among them, they have already chosen to support the three princes, and it is impossible for them to come to participate in the Shabak Alliance. ”
"That's not necessarily, if you don't want to join the alliance, maybe you'll come to make trouble!" Ye Fengliu heard this, and secretly slandered in his heart.
At this time, Meng Ji's face was slightly happy, "There are several mercenary guilds that are still very interested in our alliance, among which the Rose Mercenary Group and the Phoenix Dance Mercenary Group are the closest to us. ”
Ye Fengliu pursed his lips again, and secretly complained: "Listening to the name, you know that these are two mercenary groups dominated by ladies, and it is normal to support the princess, it seems that they have the posture of wanting to engage in a women's rights protection movement." ”
"Finally, there are some chambers of commerce and lone braves, most of them just want to come to Shabak to trade goods, but I have invited the leader of the Blacksmiths Association Lu Yi and the president of the Chongtucheng branch of the White Day Horse Bank in Chongtucheng to support us, I believe that with their help we will greatly increase the hope of the success of the alliance." Meng Ji finally said his hole card, if he didn't happen to meet the four members of the princess cultivation group, then Lu Yi and Zhong Chao were his biggest reliance on opening the alliance.
"Well, that's good. Then let's go to bed early. Ye Fengliu praised it perfunctorily, and beckoned the princess cultivation group, who was full of wine and food, to go back to their tent to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Ye Fengliu couldn't sleep, he actually felt guilty about Shang Yi and Li Hui, because he always felt that this time because he had implicated these two partners, they were once again in this life-threatening situation, and he couldn't speak directly to them.
This made him feel depressed, and this was the real reason why he deliberately let them beat him up today without fighting back, and he wanted to reduce some of his guilt in this way.
Although he was sensitively aware of the haze of conspiracy and killing behind the Shabak Alliance, because he had a limited understanding of the specific situation and had no time to calculate, his final plan was to break the situation by brute force, end the matter here as soon as possible, and hurry to the next source of demonic breath, "Pig Cave".
However, through the reports of Meng Ji and Hui Niang, when he learned more about the situation in the League Heavy Earth City, he found that although the monsters in the "Pig Cave" wanted to be weak, it was quite troublesome to enter it with their current identity.
Because the Pig Cave was completely controlled by the 2nd Heavy Infantry Regiment, entering the cave would require not only a hefty expedition tax but also identity verification.
Although Liu Gaozong did not tell the world the true identity of the princess, he must have secretly notified his direct cronies in various places. Then as long as the princess dares to show up blatantly, what awaits them must be the full force of the army to arrest them.
Therefore, Ye Fengliu had no choice but to change his plan, he planned to go to Zuma Temple first, and then take advantage of this period to successfully use the Shabak Alliance to expand the power of the Righteous Knights in Mengzhong Province and contain the soldiers and horses of the Alliance's Heavy Earth City.
Then, he used assassination and arson to cause chaos in the city, and took the opportunity to sneak into the pig hole to harvest the third source of demonic breath on this trip. Finally, return to the Vertical and Horizontal Paths to obtain all the sources of demonic breath as quickly as possible, and destroy the altar that keeps counting down.
……
On October 10, the Shabak Oasis welcomes its liveliest day of the year. On this special day, mercenaries and bandits who are usually hostile to each other gather to drink and talk, and the merchants, who are usually regarded as fat sheep by the bandits, can also travel through the group of bandits to sell their goods.
Some rare equipment and even priceless skill books will be auctioned here, in short, as long as you have money, you can buy almost everything in this black market.
Jin Caixuan, the leader of the Rose Mercenary Group, led her little follower Duan Yueruo and cautiously shuttled through the hidden place separated by ponies and camels.
She had participated in the Shabak black market last year, and she knew a little about it, so she explained to the sixteen-year-old girl who was constantly curious and looking around behind her from time to time.
"Ruoruo, that is the news area, mainly where mercenaries and sand bandits buy and sell news, of course, there will be top killers there to accept commissions, in short, we had better stay away from there, otherwise we accidentally hear something that shouldn't be heard, then tomorrow morning it will most likely become Sand Eagle's breakfast."
"There's also there, it's a place to trade strange monster materials, and some equipment building or potion refining will require those strange monster drops, such as zombie eyeballs, skeleton bones, in short, you don't want to see those things."
"It's the equipment trading area, which is where we're going. Master Mongi should be there, I heard that he joined the Knights of Justice formed by the princess, maybe we can join in through his introduction. ”
"Head Cai Xuan, why do we want to join someone else's organization? Wouldn't it be freer and happier for us to hunt monsters and take on quests by ourselves? The little girl seemed a little unhappy, and pursed her mouth in frustration, and some of the baby's fat faces bulged.
"Hey......" Jin Caixuan sighed helplessly, and said secretly: "Little girl, how do you know my suffering, I led you group of little girls who are only a dozen levels, at best, it is a mercenary group, but in fact, you can only be a scavenger." ”
"That is, there are few monsters here in the Mengzhong Desert, and they are all low in strength, so we can occasionally have the opportunity to pick up corpses and survive. If we had changed places, we would have been unable to survive a long time ago. And now I'm even more targeted by the notorious sand sculpture gang boss Sikong Zhan, if I can't find a backer as soon as possible, I'm afraid not only me, but even you will have to follow me in! ”
Jin Caixuan didn't want to tell the truth to worry this simple little girl, so she had to say perfunctorily: "The princess is a girl, and the knights she formed will definitely be more friendly to us." And I've heard that the princess has done a lot of good things, and is recognized as a brave man with a true spirit of chivalry. So I can't ...... with her."
Jin Caixuan suddenly stopped talking when she said this, and pulled Duan Yueruo in a panic to hide behind a camel that was resting on the ground, "Don't make a sound, Sikong Zhan is here, he is a vicious sand bandit leader, don't let him find us." ”
Hearing this, Duan Yueruo hurriedly closed her mouth tightly, but her big round eyes stared nervously out from the gap between the camel's twin peaks.
Then she saw a sturdy middle-aged man in a black cloak and a thin black old man in a mage's robe sneakily gathered together.
"Sikong Gang Master, how are you preparing there?" The black thin old man got straight to the point.
"No problem, more than a thousand of my brothers have already surrounded this place, and even a desert lizard will not escape." Sikong Zhan replied with a grin, and immediately asked rhetorically:
"Elder Zhang, do you have any new instructions from the eldest prince? It's not easy to buy and sell in the desert lately! The caravan is getting smaller and smaller, can you help me say a few kind words in front of the eldest prince, so that I can pay less than 20% of the robbery commission, and the brothers at the bottom will also eat. ”
The old man with the black hand snorted and replied, "Hmph! Don't complain, you don't look at what time it is, it's still more than a month before the daylight is over. Let's insist on it, when the eldest prince becomes the king, do you still need to be a sand bandit? Wouldn't it be better to go back to the 2nd Heavy Infantry Regiment as a general? ”
"So now it is right to do the errand assigned by the eldest prince first, as long as we eliminate the righteous knights established by the princess, we will definitely be able to make the king greatly change his impression of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince will not forget our contribution at that time......"
"Who ......" At this time, Sikong Zhan suddenly shouted and looked at the hiding place of Jin Caixuan and Duan Yueruo, only to see that behind the camel that suddenly stood up, four slender and slender thighs were exposed.
