Chapter 401 Pre-War Planning
Knock Knock Knock β
"Please come in."
As the door of the office opened, Arrow Garcia, the leader of the Mermaid Song, and the Blue Stripe Sword Washer, the leader of the Fangs Guild at Night, also appeared in this office one after another.
Winter: "Please be seated, please be seated." β
Arrow nodded slightly at the stationmaster, and sat down on the sofa on either side with the blue stripe on the side.
With a smile on his face, the stationmaster touched his hands slightly, and said, "President of the Mermaid Song, President of the Night Fang, I am glad that our three presidents can gather here today. Hmm, so let's check again the commissions that President Song of the Merfolk has given to our two guilds, shall we? β
Arrow had no opinion, and the blue stripe on the opposite side also nodded. Seeing this, Rin Dong said with a smile: "This time, we, the Heavenly Light Snow Creek City Sub-station and the Night Fangs Guild, have been commissioned by the Song of the Mermaid to jointly exterminate a cult called the True Eye. The cult has a well-documented list of crimes such as threatening court officials, abducting children, and killing others. Although in terms of their crimes, it should be completely exterminated by the Imperial Army, our President Arrow can't wait for the time limit for the Imperial Army's capture, trial, execution, etc., so he entrusts our two guilds to jointly carry out an extermination activity against the lair of the True Eye. β
The Blue Stripe Leader nodded and said, "No opinion. And according to the news I got here, we should have come here as a supplement to our combat strength. Originally, the Light of Heaven was enough to deal with this organization on its own. β
Rin Dong smiled, waved his hand, and said modestly, "Oops, what President Blue Stripe said is really exaggerated. Although the light of heaven is large, there are only more than thirty permanent members of our site, and there are still many members Zheng who are out on a mission. Therefore, the permanent personnel who can really participate in this war of annihilation, that is, our main force, should only be about twenty people. We still have a lot of temporary members, but we can't force them to play together. And in order to ensure the secrecy of the mission, it is not convenient for me to publish the mission announcement right now for the temporary members to collect the task. β
"In this case, it's great to have the assistance of the Night Fangs Guild."
Such a boast seems to have an appetite for the burly leader of the Blue Stripe Sword Washer. He smiled a little shyly, but he didn't know what to say.
"We will gradually find a way to solve the problem of the task itself. Here, I would like to mention forward-looking indicators about this task. β
When the other two guild leaders didn't speak, Rin Winter began his narrative againβ
"According to the information I got here, it should take two days for the capital side to expel the True Eye from the legal guild roster, so the True Eye is still a legal guild during this time. It is hoped that if the two members see them on the street, they will not show any hostility. Also, President Arrow, you'd better keep a low profile for the past two days. I don't know why you would want to kill the True Eye, but it's never a good thing to let them see your members messing around the streets. At this point, Arrow just smiled, if the stationmaster really knew why he was dealing with the True Eye, his jaw would drop in surprise.
But it's worth noting that you can't wander around the streets, so let's talk to the guys later.
"Then, in terms of the reward for the mission, I got the news that we have 200 gold coins of Heavenly Light. President Arrow, did you bring it? β
Arrow was slightly stunned, then nodded, and said, "200 gold coins of the light of heaven, 100 gold coins of the fangs under the night, completely annihilating all the living forces of the True Eye. That's fine, right? β
Bluevein nodded and said, "No problem." We have done some research beforehand, and it seems that there are twenty-six powerful magicians within the True Eye, and many of the other magicians belong to the retinue and followers, and many of them seem to have been deceived into joining this guild. As long as these twenty-six mages can be completely eradicated, I believe that the True Eye will also collapse. It's good that the remaining cats and dogs can be exterminated, but even if they escape, I believe there will be no big storms. β
Although Arrow wanted to say something like "Please destroy them all", it was too cruel to think that he would say it, so he finally held back and stopped talking.
Rin Winter didn't notice the slight twitch of the corners of Airo's mouth now, but said with a smile: "Kill the leader, and then the rest of the team will disperse automatically, we all know this. But according to our Heavenly Light, the members of the True Eye are a little bit more ...... Unique. β
Blue Stried's brow furrowed slightly: "Unique? β
Rin Dong nodded and said, "Aside from a few members of the mage's composition, the True Eye seems to be more of a religious faction. As far as I know, some people who don't have magical powers have also joined the True Eye because of their religion. It's just that they belong to non-staff personnel, and more are responsible for miscellaneous logistics and the like. β
Blue Marin thought for a moment: "This ...... Any questions? Do you want me not to deal with the miscellaneous people? I don't need to say that I'll pay attention to ...... too."
"No, no, no, I mean, please don't take it too lightly."
Without waiting for Blue Stripe to finish speaking, Rindong's face suddenly became more serious. He paused for a moment, and continued in a very cautious toneβ
"Those supernumeraries...... If anything, a large part of them are citizens of Snow Creek City, and there are many villagers from nearby mountain villages. They don't have any combat power at all, even if they are a dozen or so together, I'm afraid they won't be able to help the blue veins grow alone. β
"But here's the problem, as I said earlier, a large part of the guilds created by the True Eye are similar to religions, so among these supernumeraries, I'm afraid there are quite a few fanatics."
"Although they have little power, we must not ignore such fanatics. In case we get entangled by them, then we are in big trouble. β
Hearing Rin Dong say this, Airo pinched his chin and thought about it, and then said, "What do you mean...... We adventurers can't kill them, so in turn we are likely to be entangled by these fanatics and end up in a cocoon, right? β
Blue Stripe glanced over at Arrow, but the cold winter over there snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "That's right, compared to those twenty-six backbones and nearly a hundred magicians, these fanatics who may have more members and more complex compositions may be the most troublesome place." β
"We can't kill them, because they are citizens of the Empire anyway. While the Empire may acquiesce in our efforts to eradicate the True Eye, if we slaughter these citizens who can provide taxes to the Empire because they are fanatics, the Imperial Army will never let us go. Our president in the capital has recently written to me to warn me of this. β
Blue Stripe folded his arms, thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "I see, on the one hand, to resist these attackers, and on the other hand, not to hurt them, in some respects can indeed be regarded as the most troublesome place. Got it, I'll talk to my members. β
Rin Dong smiled, then turned her gaze to Arrow, nodding at him.
Arrow sighed, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "I understand, I understand. After the destruction of the True Eye, there will certainly be some fanatics who will think that they have been violated, and at this point they will need to know who has done such a 'mad' thing. So, this is one of the reasons why we Mermaid Song must be on the scene in person and always declare responsibility for this incident in the name of our Mermaid Song. β
A satisfied smile appeared on the head of the Heaven's Light, and he nodded lightly and smiled, "I'm glad that President Arrow understands why. During the war of extermination, the Heavenly Light and the Night Fangs will try to conceal their identities and fight under the guise of the Mermaid Song. Of course, this in itself is a commission from the Mermaid Song, and as long as President Arrow feels that there is no problem, then we will naturally have no problem. β
Does Eero have the authority to say "no" to this condition?
In fact, no.
In fact, acting in the name of the Mermaid's Song is a completely natural thing to do. Therefore, Arrow can only sit in his seat now, drinking tea slowly to hide the twitching of the corners of his mouth.
After discussing these things, Rin Dong smiled and said, "In terms of the specific battle layout, President Bluevein, we can discuss it with each other." Captain Arrow, your Merfolk Song only needs to be at the back of the line for now, but due to the Annihilation War, I probably don't have that many men to protect your guild. So please stay in a safe place as much as possible, and only come forward when we need you to come forward to be the leader of this battle. That's fine, right? β
Arrow nodded.
Seeing that Arrow had no opinion, Rin Dong clapped his hands and continued, "Then the next question is the ending after the battle is over. Although the current situation of discussing the end of the discussion before the start of the fight may not be very good, I still hope to be able to plan with the two of you in advance, so as not to have an uneven distribution of benefits when we get it, so that the three parties will have a conflict. β
Blue Marin stretched out his hand: "Winter Stationmaster, you are the commander-in-chief of this battle, you talk about it, I listen." β
