Chapter 340: There is nothing to be done
And this is not all the strength of the Bols horse bandits, they are a military organization with thousands of people, Bols has many battle-tested soldiers under him, and there are other magicians gathered around Emaar, if you want to ambush Bols, it is far from enough to rely on a few people from Allen, and a large number of mercenaries must participate in the operation.

In the selection of mercenary teams, Hollanster gave Alan the right to choose freely. It may seem simple to destroy the bandits as long as there are enough people, but in reality it is just as difficult, and how to get a large number of people from Yus to Hig and avoid the eyes and ears of the Holy See is almost an impossible task. If the team is discovered by the Holy See in Higg and does not need to be done by Bolth, the Holy See will take the lead in attacking, and don't forget that the Holy See's "Wings of War" has been stranded in the east of Higg.
Regarding this issue, Hollanster also thought about it for a long time, and even summoned some subordinates who were proficient in the art of war to discuss, but they did not come up with an effective strategy, and in the end Holranster simply left it alone, and directly threw everything to Allen, since the next mission captain is Allen, all the operational needs must be decided by Allen, let Allen worry about it himself.
Alan knew that Kevin Borg had always been resourceful, so he asked him to come in and discuss, Kevin was also surprised to understand what happened, and he wanted to persuade Alan to give up but Alan had made up his mind, and he could only tell Alan to be cautious. However, Kevin doesn't have any good ideas for Allen's strategy, although he is good at using strategy, but he knows very little about the art of war, so he can't do anything.
However, Kevin's words did remind Alan that he should find someone with experience in warfare. Among the people that Allen knows, Bloom and Shelly are undoubtedly the most suitable, both of them have many years of mercenary experience, especially Bloom has served in a large mercenary group for many years, and it is indispensable to fight some bandits, so he should have experience in this area.
That afternoon, Alan asked the servant to bring Bloom and Shelly over, and told them about the mission, hoping that they could help with ideas. Bloom and Shelly didn't convince Alan to give up, but their eyes lit up. Especially Bloom, when he witnessed the horse bandits abusing and killing his brother, he had long hated the Bols horse bandits, but he had no ability and no opportunity to take revenge, and now the opportunity has come, and it is to cooperate with Allen, he can't ask for it. Although Shelly didn't have such a strong hatred for the horse bandits, he was also unwilling to give up this opportunity for revenge, so the two of them didn't wait for Alan to ask them for advice, but they rushed to join this mission and act with Allen.
"Of course you can join, but the Bolsma bandits are not so easy to deal with, and there are several forces involved in the wrestling, we must always negotiate a feasible way first, otherwise it will be useless for you to join this team. ”
After listening to Allen's words, Bloom and Shelly both scratched their heads a little, they understood what Allen meant, the key to whether this task can be done is not who the person who performs the task is, but how to carry out this task, they need a plan. This is not a simple rescue or escort mission, you can adapt to the situation, in the face of a group of strong horse bandits transferred from the regular army, even if the Hig military is not enough, the result of their own group of mercenaries to adapt to the situation often means the destruction of the entire army.
"Allen, the key to using a soldier is to know yourself and your enemy, we know almost nothing about the situation of the Bolsma bandits, how can we make a plan?"
After all, Bloom came out of the big mercenary group, and he was even more experienced in this area.
"This is a pamphlet from Emperor Higg to Lord Ogu, which contains some information about the Bols Horse Bandits, and this map is the terrain near the Great Dragon Rift provided by Higg, although it is rough, he is better than nothing. Brother Bloom, you take it back and see if we can come up with a plan of action as soon as possible, and we can prepare it as soon as possible. ”
Since he couldn't think of a way, Alan simply learned from Hollanster to throw this headache directly to Bloom, after all, Bloom had much more experience than himself.
But Alan waited for two days, and Bloom almost shredded the materials, and he couldn't think of a solution, so he could only regretfully come back and tell Alan Higg that the information about the Bolsma Bandits was too little to make a detailed plan.
"The Great Rift Valley stretches for nearly a hundred miles, five miles at its widest point, only two hundred steps at its narrowest point, and an average depth of more than two hundred steps. The entrance to the rift valley is in the shape of a pocket, and the more you go inside, the narrower the space, the more intricate the terrain, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the tunnels are like nets, like a labyrinth, and it is easy to get lost in it if you are not familiar with the terrain. It would be easy to hide one or two thousand men in such a place, and if we could not master the camp of the Bolsma bandits and rush into it recklessly, we might not even be able to find the base camp of the Bols horses in half a year, and if we were negligent, not even if we did not use the enemy's opponents, they would be stuck in the labyrinth of the Great Rift Valley, from which it would be difficult to get out. ”
Bloom came to Allen and told him what he thought, in fact, to sum it up, that is, with the information they currently have, it is impossible to eliminate the Bolsma bandits, and if we want to eliminate the Bolsma bandits, we must determine the location of the Bolsma bandits, and even if we can't determine it, we must be familiar with the environment in the Great Rift Valley. Bloom wanted revenge, but he didn't want to die, and if he couldn't get more detailed information, he wouldn't have started the mission, even if he was revenge.
Bloom's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Alan cold from head to toe. Suppressing bandits has now become almost an impossible task, but he is very unwilling to let him give up like this.
There will be a way, there will be a way.
Eren repeatedly comforted himself, cheered himself up, and made it impossible to give up easily, and at this time, Isha suddenly rushed over from Iron Pine Town, and she came this time to hope that Eren would help him solve the food problem of the refugees.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you teaching nomads how to grow grain? ”
Alan asked, a little curiously.
"Yes, the nomadic herders are working on the land, but the seeds planted will not be harvested until at least autumn, and now there are at least four months before the harvest, and we do not have enough food to support the nomads until the harvest season, and it is very likely that they will run out of food in two months. ”
Isha explained to Eren with an anxious expression, and finally she asked:
"Allen, I wanted to discuss this matter with you the last time I came here, but at that time, I saw that you were busy with alchemy to ensure on-time delivery, so I didn't open my mouth, now you can see if you can find a way to get food, as long as you can hold on until the autumn harvest. ”
