Chapter 108: The Earl's Idea
This news really surprised Eero more than any parade.
At that moment, he immediately closed the account book, stretched out his hand and pointed to the storage room behind him: "Everyone, bring your equipment, let's set off quickly!" ”
Leaving the guild, Arrow led the guild members to quickly advance towards the Eternal Sleep Mountains.
He was surprised not that the earl had sent troops into the mine without informing him, but that he had sent a large number of troops into the mines.
This gold mine is not a suitable place for large troops, and even the narrow and winding passages in it require you to memorize the path to avoid getting lost in it.
But even so, the earl sent a large number of troops into the mines, and at the same time he took his mistress lightly and walked around. So how big is his heart?
And with such a big heart making such a large-scale move, Arrow really couldn't imagine what the earl's mind was stuffed with, and what he wanted to do!
As soon as I rushed out of the town, I immediately saw the holy bread coming in front of me in a carriage. The priest nodded when he saw that the Mermaid Song was fully armed, stopped the carriage and let everyone get on the carriage, and turned his head towards the mountain of eternal sleep.
"What does the Count want? All of a sudden, so many people? This feeling of throwing all the cards out in one go gave me the feeling that he wanted to empty everything in the entire mine in one go! ”
In the face of Arrow's question, the Holy Cake shook his head and said, "I don't know, His Excellency the Earl has been with his mistress for the past two days, and sometimes we want to see him, and even that mistress meets us directly to convey the Earl's instructions. I always feel ...... Something is not good, will that woman put the Count in a place of no return? Scourge more people? ”
Although Arrow still respects this pastor, he still has some nostalgia for hearing the tone of his mouth that "women can harm others". On second thought, however, it is not surprising that the High Priest had some such thoughts that women might delay their leaders. At this time, he was relieved and continued-
"So, what exactly did the Count order?"
"I don't know, this time the team Count is completely under the command of the original Muppet team. The Muppet Captains are still lying in my tent, so for the time being, their lieutenants are leading the way. I guess there will be hundreds of people entering the mine this time, and God knows what they want. ”
The carriage galloped and soon reached the military camp at the foot of the Changmian Mountain Range.
Looking up, a large number of soldiers were already in gear and ready to go, lining up to enter the mine.
Arrow looked left and right, hoping to find whiskey and polyester that he knew. But no matter how you look at it, you can't find them, and after thinking about it, Arrow made a decision-
Do not enter the mine, but wait outside.
————
It may seem like a very negative attitude, but it is the best thing to do for the current mermaid song and the current situation.
Eero glanced inside the mine, where the soldiers were still slowly squirming forward in the narrow passage. The expression on his face was also relaxed, and he didn't seem to feel how dangerous the place he was about to enter was.
You don't have to think about it to know that there must be a lot of rubbing inside, and the latter person can only see the back of the head of the previous person, right? The passages inside the mine are also very messy, and now Airo can only hope that the soldiers who enter early will not get lost.
The group squatted next to the mine, and several soldiers who were in charge of guarding the entrance to the mine did not enter.
They saw that the mermaid song had not entered the mine, and they were obviously a little curious, but they did not come over to ask.
But since you don't come to ask, Arrow can take the initiative to go up and talk.
"Hey! Hello sir! It's been a really hard day. ”
Arrow accosted without saying a word.
The soldier guarding the gate glanced at Arrow, then at the High Priest Sacred Cake who was following Arrow, nodded and said, "Won't you mermaid song go in?" ”
Arrow shook his head and said, "We didn't get instructions, and now we came here on our own initiative after hearing the news." Do you know what the mission is? Almost half of the army went in, what did they want? ”
The soldier guarding the gate shook his head and said, "I don't know, I guess it's only those who are in the original puppet team who understand what they are going to do." In fact, no matter what you do, you should be fine, right? So many people went in. Last time, you Mermaid Song and the Muppet Squad were able to get out of the way with so many people entering, so this time there is nothing to worry about. ”
The other gatekeeper stretched his waist slightly and smiled, "Yes, yes, there's nothing to worry about." Really, compared to the nearest front, it was really fun to follow the earl. The Earl will not take us to any dangerous places, so since it is Count Karp's order, I believe the Count must be well prepared. ”
Since that's all said, Arrow has nothing to question. At this time, the holy bread behind him stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me...... Front? What's wrong with the front? ”
The soldier guarding the gate smiled: "Your Excellency the High Priest doesn't know yet, does you?" The situation on the front line is really getting worse and worse now, and although the truce agreement between us and the Hunter Empire is still in effect on the surface, private skirmishes have continued to unfold. I don't think there's much time left before the armistice is torn up, right? ”
Another gatekeeper also smiled and said, "But this has nothing to do with us, Count Karp will not go to the front, so we just follow Count Karp to continue to stay in this large rear." “
Although there was a smile on the face of the holy bread, this smile was obviously mixed with a little worry.
He returned to the Mermaid Song, and Arrow hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Uncle Holy Cake. It should be unlikely that your daughter will be on the front line. Even if there was some reason, there were no women in the army, and she should have fled to safety quickly when she heard the news of the war. ”
Holy Cake looked at Arrow and threw a gentle smile at him, "Hmm...... Thank you, President. But I'm more worried about the front line than I am about holding my daughter. This time, our negotiations with the Hunter Empire have reached an impasse, and if a full-scale war breaks out, the number of casualties will be astronomical. ”
Arrow nodded, silent. However, Brad looked a little puzzled and asked, "President, the front line...... What's going on? Is there a war? ”
Although Iero would like to introduce the grievances between the Blue Bay Empire and the Vicious Hunter Empire to his members, this is a long topic and is obviously not suitable for a short chat.
Because at this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the mine!
Da Da -
The footsteps are impatient, mixed with all kinds of falling and colliding sounds!
Obviously, it wasn't a few people running, but a whole bunch of people running wildly!
"Get out of the way."
Arrow told the group to disperse a little towards the vicinity, and soon a bloodied soldier burst out of the mine.
One, one, another!
The faces of these soldiers were as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, and none of them were intact. This one lost his arm, that one chest was covered with blood, and the moment they jumped out of the mine, they seemed to be bathed in holy light, and their faces were full of joy and hope!
But soon, they will be trampled on the soles of their feet by the soldiers who rush out from behind, and let out screams of pain.
"Let's go! Give it all up! ”
When he saw someone injured, he immediately wanted to come forward for treatment. But the soldiers poured out of it one after another, so that the Holy Bread could not even pull out the soldiers who had been trampled underneath!
Seeing that the trampled soldier was already dying, the holy cake pulled down his face, grabbed an oncoming soldier with a sharp hand, raised it high and threw it aside, and then reached out again, pulling out both soldiers on the ground in one go.
"Light Healing!"
As the incantation came from the priest's mouth, a soft light immediately emanated from the staff, enveloping the two seriously wounded soldiers.
While the Holy Bread was healing, Arrow also asked Brad to step forward to separate the crowd and drag out the fallen soldiers one by one.
At this moment, Arrow's eyes sharpened and he saw that Whiskey and Polyester were also rushing out of the mine back and forth. Both of them had fewer wounds on their bodies, apparently thanks to their experience.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Arrow stopped the two and asked loudly.
The whiskey stopped and was about to speak, but after the polyester on the side saw the mine behind him, he grabbed the whiskey and jumped to the side!
The next moment, a soldier with a young ghoul in his hand rushed out of the mine. Undoubtedly, it was one of the Muppet Squad.
Immediately after that, 2nd, 3rd, 4th! A full four members of the Muppet Squad rushed out of the hole with four baby ghouls in their hands, and the next moment the last Muppet Squad member rushed out......
Boom ——!
The entrance to the gold mine, which was originally quite spacious, was suddenly torn from the inside out by a powerful force! With a terrible roar that almost shattered a person's eardrums, a terrifying monster rushed out of the mixture of the exploding rubble and the flesh and blood of the soldiers!
It leaps into the air, its scarlet-glowing organs searching for its target like eyes! One of the Muppet members closest to the monster threw the baby ghoul in his hand at the retreating soldiers.
With this throw, the huge monster immediately changed direction, and the claws in its hands fell quickly like thunder! In an instant, the two unprepared soldiers had been sliced into pieces of flesh by their sharp claws, turning them into a pool of blood and flesh.
