Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Way to Break the Game

The camera returned to Normer's side, and the boy listened to the old butler's words, and kept thinking silently, and did not intervene in everyone's conversation again.

Most of the eldest sons of the Marquis de Ryde's family are useless and useless except for wasting time on women, and they are typical representatives of not being able to achieve enough and more to lose, and "discussing" the problem with them is simply playing the piano to the cow, wasting time and wasting life. If it is unnecessary, the young man would rather communicate with ordinary people from all walks of life than chat with this group of sons and brothers, and he didn't even think about it.

Of course, if you don't take the initiative to prove your aristocratic identity, the eldest son of the noble marquis doesn't even have the interest to chat with the young man, and it is rare to open his mouth just now, which is nothing more than to "teach" the old housekeeper not to grow up the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige. Delusional hugging other people's thighs, unless you're a pretty girl, it's still possible.

After a moment's silence, Normer slowed his mount slightly, deliberately one step behind, and turned into a parallel to Plitander.

The young man turned his head and quietly asked the old butler: "Uncle, if we have roughly determined that the other party will attack us when we are about to eat at noon or when we are eating, according to the method you said earlier, can we plan and plan a way to break the situation in advance?"

The old butler's eyes lit up and he replied, "Well, it's very thoughtful. But how exactly is it going to be calculated?"

"For example, since the other party has calculated our itinerary, and the terrain here is quite treacherous, there must not be many places to accommodate our brigade to rest and cook, and in the same way, the other party can mobilize the same limited number of people to ambush, it is difficult to ensure that everything is covered, and there is a high probability that we will only choose a location where we are most likely to stay, and lay an ambush in advance, so that it is possible to completely annihilate the convoy and achieve the goal of destroying the marquis's heirs. ”

Normer analyzed slowly.

"Hmm. Reasonable. ”

Plitander nodded, encouraging the boy to continue.

"If you want to break the game, you just have to do the opposite, just don't stop at the place where they have laid an ambush in advance. If you don't follow the other person's vision and rhythm, you will be at least half the battle. After all, they are on the top of the mountain wall, and it is inconvenient to go up and down, so they can't rush down to chase and kill them, right? Besides, we have destroyed the original arrangement, and we will be somewhat stunned, so we will take some time to digest it and discuss what to do next, right?"

Normer affirmed.

"So how to solve the lunch problem? It is not a way to rush blindly with a hungry stomach, in case the other party insists on catching up with us desperately, we have no strength but we will also suffer a big loss. ”

The old butler reminded with a smile.

As the saying goes, details determine success or failure, this aspect of the problem really needs to be paid attention to, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, at any time, no matter how loyal and fierce the warrior, fighting on an empty stomach, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"As for lunch, it's easy. Mercenaries are not pampered, arrange it in advance, eat a few mouthfuls of bags while walking on the horse, drink a few sips of cold water to deal with it, and when you reach a safe place at night, you can just eat a good meal of meat and drink some hot soup to make up for it. ”

Listening to the young man's words, Plitander nodded approvingly, and then bowed his mouth to the carriage, and said, "But the question is what to do with the group of nobles in the carriage? ”

Normo thought about it, the old butler's worries were not unreasonable, the mercenaries who guarded were not afraid of hardship, and the nobles who were guarded were afraid of hardship, if they wanted to make them the same as themselves, gnawing dry and hard naan, drinking raw and cold water to make do with a meal, it is estimated that it will not work.

Especially with the domineering nature of the Marquise Ryder, it has to make a big fuss, one is not handled properly, and before the enemy will come, the inside of the convoy will be a mess, waiting to be cleaned up.

The young man gritted his teeth and said softly but resolutely, "Hurry up and take power." Don't tell them yet, wait until you're in a dangerous place. When the raw rice is cooked and matured, they have to eat it if they want to, and if they don't want to eat it, they just starve, anyway, it's their stomachs that make trouble!"

The morning light in front couldn't help but laugh out loud, my brother is really bad, it's rare that he has always been loyal and honest can figure out such a method. The girl's ears were bright, and no matter how whispered Normer was behind her, the girl could hear it clearly, and the whole time it was just hiding from the bunch of waste snacks on the surrounding carriages.

Plitander smiled and stroked his pretty beard, agreeing with the boy's opinion, and agreeing with his contingency plan that was able to judge the situation and not be constrained by common sense.

Generous personality does not mean to be pedantic, following the rules on weekdays does not mean that you have to stick to the rules in times of crisis, crises and crises often hide opportunities in danger, it depends on whether people in the crisis can find it in time. People live in the world, and when they encounter problems, they must try their best to solve them, rather than never knowing how to be flexible and in a hurry, otherwise wouldn't they live as a wooden man, just waiting to be chopped into firewood and cooked?

Seeing that both the old butler and the maiden agreed with his idea, Normer turned the bull's head, rushed to Kevin's side, and whispered his opinion.

As soon as he heard the boy's suggestion, Kevin immediately patted his thigh and applauded. He has been worried all the way, during which he has not thought of a way to deal with it, but unfortunately he can't even pass this level himself, after self-veto one by one, his hair is almost gray, and he has less and less confidence, and he claims to be wise and brave, and the burly black man almost believes in his heart, and he can only rely on the sacrifice of a large number of mercenary brothers to pass this level, and he didn't expect this good way.

After thinking about it quietly for a while, the more Kevin pondered, the more he felt that Knowmer's suggestion was very reasonable and practical, so he simply accepted the boy's suggestion in its entirety.

He summoned a few cronies and mercenaries with a happy face, whispered his decision to them, ordered them to inform the "Eagle", Battle, and "White Crane" in front of them separately, and specially told his subordinates to implement it quietly, so as to save some people from the Marquis of Ryde's family from detecting it and causing trouble again.

When the subordinates split up to inform the brothers, the burly mercenary leader patted Normer on the shoulder in approval, causing the boy to grin bitterly. If it weren't for his recent advancement to a mid-level soldier, Kevin's big hand as thick as a bear's paw would have been slapped to the ground and lay down a few times in a row.

Kevin looked at the boy with a smile and complimented, "Okay, little brother." If you hadn't come up with such a good idea, the elite of the Black Lion Mercenary Group would have been afraid that most of them would have been left behind in this place, so I would have said thank you verbally for the families of the brothers in the group. When you get through this, I thank you again. ”

"There's no need to say thanks, I just want to save my life. If the so-called heavy thanks of the head of the regiment were to shoot it hard, I still didn't want it, I couldn't bear it. Instead of dying at the hands of a fierce enemy, he died at the hands of his own people. ”

Normer waved his hand again and again, and was very unimpressed by Kevin's way of thanking him, Battle claimed to have the blood of a mountain dwarf, could this Kevin be the ancestor who had been married to the Beagle Bear, he was a pure-blooded descendant The atavism phenomenon is more obvious, and the "enthusiasm" of greeting people is really unbearable.

The head of the regiment, who was smiling, immediately changed into a thief's appearance, and said with a smile: "Then go to the 'Yellow Mill' afterwards and Lele, all the expenses will be mine!

Although he didn't know what kind of mill the "Yellow Mill" was, when he saw Kevin smiling so obscenely, the mercenaries around him also tacitly put on a lewd smile, and the boy also knew that it must not be a normal "mill", at least it was not flour, but something else that could not be discussed on the surface, so he waved his hand again and again, and shirked: "Discuss again, discuss again." I'll go back and get ready. Then he pulled out the oxen and fled.

"Hahaha. ”

The sound of cheerful laughter echoed through the silent valley, attracting the attention of the whole team, and the mercenaries all felt rare.

Since entering this dangerous valley, Kevin and the mercenaries around him have been on full alert, staring closely at both sides of the mountain road, and the atmosphere can be as depressing as it is, and at this moment he can finally laugh heartily.

By the time Normer returned to the carriage he was guarding, Kevin's cronies had already informed the scouts of the important notice from the regimental commander, conveyed it to the two deputy regimental commanders, and then began to inform each mercenary one by one.

"Ma'am, those lowly mercenaries are talking to each other, sneakily not knowing what to do. ”

The maid who was still beating the legs of the mistress just now reported with a frown, she often opened the curtains and looked out, as if she was watching the scenery, and as if she was paying attention to something, she actually noticed the abnormality of the mercenary group.

"Alright, there's nothing to worry about. Since he received money from our Ryder family, he can only obediently work for us. If you want to come up with a moth, you first have to weigh whether you have the ability. Peggy, you can rest assured that you will thump my legs, and the other fat Clay will worry about it. ”

The Marquise de Ryder said, with a nonchalant expression.

Another maid also echoed the mistress, "Madame said yes. What is there to worry about? What black lion mercenary group, listening to the majesty, in front of our marquise, it is not the same as obediently holding the tail and being a pug? If you dare to play tricks, beware of the lady unskinning their dogs. I said Peggy, you can beat your wife's legs with peace of mind, why are you always absent-minded, and you have looked out several times in just a while. What, what kind of handsome mercenary did you like?"

Competition is everywhere, especially in the inner courtyards of the homes of the old aristocracy. Peggy hurriedly denied it with a forced smile, bowed her head and concentrated on helping the Marquise de Ryder thump up her other leg, she also realized her abnormal behavior under great pressure, so she had to suppress her worries and concentrate on doing things, lest she be noticed by the suspicious mistress.

In the middle of the day, the group of men and horses trekked hard until nearly noon, and the mercenaries on the horses took out the naan cakes from their backpacks one after another, and gnawed on the cold water in the water bladder.

At first, it was okay to do this alone, and the guards of the nearby Marquis Mansion thought that they were hungry due to overreaction under high tension, and when almost all the mercenaries were hurrying on the road, pouting their cheeks and gnawing on their bags, everyone in the Marquis Ryder's Mansion was stupid, and they also found that something was wrong, after all, it was the first time in the past few days since they set off to see the mercenaries of the black lion doing so.

What does this mean?

The guards of the Marquis's Mansion muttered secretly.
