Chapter 838 The back of the mission

As it turned out, these hostesses couldn't give many precise answers at all.

Arrow asked for a long time, and listened to it for a long time, except for being able to know that some of these bandits were huge, he really didn't know anything.

There was no point in asking like this, and it made him feel very uncomfortable to be mixed in such a large group of men, so he walked out as soon as possible, united several guilds again, and said that after acting together when the time came, he led the guild people back.

Still, his question was not answered.

Why are there so many bandits?

Why do these bandits appear near Hanhai City?

Why have so many bandits gathered, and Hanhai City can still tolerate them to survive, and not eradicate them when they are still very small, but have to wait until this time to use them as a task in the Guild Championship Battle?

With so many whys, can there be a satisfactory answer?

Arrow didn't know.

Therefore, the only thing he can do is probably only think......

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The night was dark, and the entire Hanhai City fell silent again.

The lights that had been lit with great fanfare for the upcoming celebrations were now gradually extinguished, and the castle with its pale blue glow once again became a "lighthouse" of the world, shining on those who traveled alone on that lost sea.

On the third floor of the courtyard, in a small dilapidated house that was barely habitable, Arrow continued to look at the documents in his hand and continue to think about it, holding the ball of light on his head that was about to go out.

After a certain stage of thinking, he stroked some of the words with his pen, and then wrote other words, exploring the possibilities that he could think about.

In such a quiet night, I am afraid that only the strange rumbling sound that comes from the back courtyard from time to time can make Arrow feel that the world is still noisy and noisy at least.

"What are you thinking?"

The little white cat jumped on the table, looked at the ball of light that was about to go out, touched the oil lamp next to it, and continued-

"If you don't sleep again, didn't you make an appointment with those guild leaders to set off together tomorrow?"

Arrow nodded slightly, and the pen in his hand fell again, and he began to write on the paper.

The pet cat wagged its tail, looked at the recorded words, and said, "What are you thinking about?" This doesn't seem to be a detailed plan to annihilate the bandits. ”

Arrow was slightly stunned, as if he had only realized the little white cat in front of him, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "I just write casually and think about some questions...... I was like that when I was studying, once I couldn't figure out some questions, I couldn't sleep easily. ”

The little white cat nodded: "You don't need to tell me, the impression you have made on me in the past three years is the same." So, what exactly are you doing? ”

Arrow exhaled, then put down the pen in his hand, raised his hands and rubbed the sides of his head slightly, and said-

"I'm wondering what the hell are going on with those bandits...... Where did they come from, and how did they come together into such a large settlement...... But no matter how much I think about it, I can't figure it out. ”

Seeing that Arrow was now worried about this kind of thing, the little white cat looked a little bored, and it waved his hand and said, "You are really interesting as a human, and other guilds are probably studying how to exterminate the bandits faster." You'd be better off researching how they came to be? Hey, you're going to leave in a few hours, and you still have the heart to care about this? Have you ever thought about how to exterminate the bandits? ”

Arrow pillowed his head with his hands, shook his body slightly, and said a little boredly: "I've thought about this for a long time~~~ It's just that it's not very 'interesting'." ”

The little white cat's head shook a little: "Isn't it 'interesting'?" ”

Arrow nodded lightly and continued, "Although it seems that our fifty or so guilds are dealing with a gang of thieves of thousands of people, and we need to plan well. But in reality, it's also a race for speed. ”

"When the mission was announced today, all viewers were not blocked, so I'm afraid this news has leaked. By the time we go to exterminate the bandits, we can imagine that these bandits are also well prepared. ”

"But so what?"

"One guild kills twenty bandits, which means that as long as more than fifty of our guilds enter this forest and mine, once one guild successfully annihilates a small group and obtains the twenty ears needed for the mission, they will immediately retreat and withdraw from this battlefield. Then, the area collected by this guild will form a blind spot, and the exploration advantage of our adventurers will disappear. ”

"As the quest gets longer and longer, the number of guilds that get loot increases, which means that more guilds will quit."

"That way, even if we have enough to suppress these bandits in terms of combat skills at the beginning, the more bandits we kill, the fewer people we will have."

"If we hit the back, it is entirely possible that the bandits will be wiped out by our side, but the number of adventurers who have not yet completed our mission is also scarce."

"Once the number is reduced to a certain extent, then the bandits as the defender will naturally have an absolute advantage. Therefore, the harder it is to fight the bandits who fight to the back, the more likely it is that they will have to retire due to injuries and deaths in the guild. ”

"Therefore, this is a battle that should be rushed forward with all the strength of our side from the very beginning. The longer it drags on, the harder it will be for us guilds. ”

The kitten looked at the short man steadily, and when he finished speaking, he raised a paw and pressed it on his head: "Yes! Thinking about it a lot? Then why are you hesitating so much? ”

Arrow shook his head and said, "However, there must be some kind of purpose in this. ”

"The first game, the purpose is to help the interested parties make money. I believe that in the first game, those merchants made a lot of money. ”

"The second game is to help a nobleman or a wealthy tycoon get rid of the inhabitants of the archipelago, so that he can take the archipelago without having to dirty his hands, and even appear in front of the world as a philanthropist."

"So, this third mission must have some kind of deeper purpose...... This is definitely not as simple as a simple task to exterminate the bandits! ”

Holding his head, Arrow continued to look at the notes he had written, gritted his teeth, and said, "If I ignore something, then maybe I will unknowingly enter some kind of most terrible situation...... I can't allow that to happen! I'm worried...... If something happens that I don't know about and can't control, the worst thing might not be as simple as disqualifying! Rather, it could be ......"

At this point, Arrow suddenly stopped.

He didn't dare to say the next words, nor did he dare to think about them...... Because it's so terrible, it's too dark......!

The little white cat looked into the human eye, and after looking at it for a long time, it jumped onto Arrow's shoulder, rubbing its head against Arrow's cheek.

The soft touch soothed Arrow's spirit a little. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the white and unsullied little kitten, and smiled slightly: "Thank you......"

"So, what do you figure out now? Tell me about it? Maybe I can give you a little advice? Anyway, I've lived that long. ”

Arrow pursed his lips, then as if giving up, and said, "Okay! So let's talk about my thoughts. Of course, complete accuracy is not guaranteed and is provided for informational purposes only. Don't tell anyone else, I don't want my members to have too much psychological pressure. ”

The kitten jumped back on the table, sat down, and nodded slightly: "You say, I promise not to leak secrets." ”

Arrow smiled, then moved the note in his hand up slightly, and pointed to the first possibility with his pen and said-

"First of all, that's itβ€”lazy."

"In other words, the reason why there is such a large-scale group of bandits is entirely because the royal family is lazy and does not want to manage these bandits well, so they will let them grow and develop."

Little White Kitten: "Is it possible?" Isn't the easiest thing for you humans to do with this kind of incompetence? There have been many times in history, right? ”

Arrow exhaled: "It is true that there have been many absurd monarchs and emperors in our human history, but I thought about it carefully, and the probability of this is really low. ”

"Because, because of the advanced age of our Emperor, he has been sick in bed for several years now. Now it is our Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is actually in charge of our Blue Bay Empire. I know a little bit about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is not the kind of person who is incompetent and can make a group of bandits grow into a thousand people. ”

As he spoke, Arrow thought back to the crown prince he had seen through the glass at the opening ceremony of the Guild Championship Battle. That person doesn't look like a mediocre and incompetent person at all.

The little white cat was noncommittal: "What's next?" ”

Arrow vomited a little, pointed to the next one, and said, "The second one is absolute self-confidence. I think it's very likely that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be dealing with this matter. ”

"This gang of thieves of 1,000 people may have been detected by our royal army a long time ago, but it has not been exterminated. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that it seemed good that this gang of bandits was used as one of the targets of the mission, so he let their gang grow gradually larger, and finally let us eliminate it. ”
