Seven men and two women sat around a long table in the tent, and the first one was Alan Kanter.

Alan had just returned to Iron Pine last night. He designed to lure most of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment into a preset ambush circle in Capra Mountain, and then Bloom knew it with reason and emotion, and exposed the hypocrisy of the Ogu family in front of all the officers and soldiers of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment, and finally subdued all the mercenaries without a single soldier and captured Burns, the deputy head of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment. Of course, it is not enough for these mercenaries to be directly used against the Agu family, so Allen placed all of them in the wolf's tooth mining area, replaced the dragon mercenary group to be responsible for guarding the mine, and then transferred most of the dragon mercenary group.

Everything was arranged, leaving Shelly with a small part of the Dragonbard Mercenary Group to monitor the mercenaries of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group, while Alan and Bloom took most of the Dragonbard Mercenary Group to withdraw from the mining area and move to Iron Pine Town to station, in order to deal with the next counterattack of the Agu family. Although it was not peaceful along the way, and there were several attacks by Warcraft, but with Alan and Bloom in charge, all Warcraft came to send the Demon Core. Once out of Capra Mountain, Alan and Bloom left the army and rushed to Iron Pine. When they arrived at the barracks, Harvey and Stanny commanded the Cadet Corps to complete the cleaning of the battlefield, mainly to collect the food, weapons and baggage abandoned by the Spirit Snake Mercenary Regiment during the rout, which were exactly what the Cadet Regiment urgently needed, so they could not be wasted at all, as for those mercenaries who surrendered and were captured, the Cadet Corps did not have extra food to feed them, and they felt unbearable to kill them, so they collected their weapons and released them all.

After Alan learned about the battle with the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group, he didn't praise everyone at the first time, but called Miranda over and reprimanded him. With Miranda's current strength as a high-level fire mage, controlling the Flame Burst Magic is an extremely risky task.

"That magic circle shouldn't have been given to you in the first place. Confiscate it now, and give it to you when you become a great magician. ”

Alan's tone was stern.

"The magic circle has been damaged!"

The little girl pouted, a look of reluctance.

"Really?"

Alan turned to ask Stanny.

"Really, really!"

Stanny came running over and glanced at Miranda first, and when he saw her winking at him, he immediately understood what he meant.

"Forget it! ”

Seeing that Alan was teaching Miranda, Elvis hurried over and persuaded:

"Using magic is inherently dangerous, and what we're doing now is much more dangerous than using magic. ”

"This time, I won't pursue it, if there is such a risky move next time, I will let you go back to school to teach, and you will never be allowed to go to the battlefield. ”

Elvis's words worked, but Eren was clearly angry.

"Okay, you've just come back, and there's a lot to decide. Don't waste time on small things. ”

Elvis put his arm around Allen's shoulders and persuaded him away.

"Humph!"

Miranda grimaced at Alan's departing back, apparently unconcerned about Alan's criticism.

"Miranda, don't be angry, Brother Alan is also doing this because he cares about you, in his eyes, the safety of our lives is more important than the victory or defeat of a battle. ”

As soon as Alan left, Stanny immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

The next day, Allen, who was already well aware of the current situation, summoned a meeting of Elvis, Harvey, Stanny, Miranda, Bloom, and Isha, six of the most important people besides himself. The main theme of the meeting was to discuss the next action plan.

"Allen, our current military strength includes: 10,000 officers and soldiers with combat experience in the two wings of the Youth League, stationed in Tiesong Town, 15,000 people from the Longyin Mercenary Regiment, 5,000 people left behind in the Langya Mining Area, and 10,000 people from the three wings brought out this time are stationed in Tiesong Town. The two corps together had a total of 20,000 experienced officers and men, including 1,500 cavalrymen. These troops may be able to hold Tiesong Town, but if they want to attack the ancient city directly, they may still be a little less. The total strength of the Wolf Warrior and Tiger Mercenary Regiment in Aogucheng is close to 40,000. Moreover, we do not have any heavy siege equipment in our hands, and it is almost impossible to take the heavily guarded Augu Castle, and once the war lasts for a long time, the security teams and militias of the towns of the ancient city of Ogu may come to help, and the Yus military may also intervene at any time, and then we will be in the dilemma of being attacked on our backs. ”

At the beginning of the meeting, Bloom first introduced the military equipment on his side and the problems he might face.

"I don't think the lack of siege equipment is a problem, after all, we have powerful mages like Alan and me, and the role of high-level mages in siege warfare is not weaker than that of heavy equipment. ”

Without blushing, Elvis placed himself and Alan in a tie. However, he is not completely bragging, whether it is attacking the camp of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group or sneaking up on the camp of the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group, the performance of the magician team led by Elvis is all shining in it.

"Yes, with our magician, everything..."

Miranda added excitedly from the side.

"I don't know how thick the sky is!"

Alan glared at Miranda fiercely, so frightened that the little girl stuck out her tongue and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into her stomach.

"Do you think we are the only magicians, don't forget that the ancient city is guarded by at least two great magicians, Herbert and Cecil, even if we have some advantages in the magic array, we can't make up for the gap in absolute strength. ”

Allen's words made several people stop talking, they have all seen the power of the great magician Emaar's spell, and know how terrifying the power of the two great magicians will be if they join forces, especially Herbert and Cecil, one is good at water and the other is good at fire, one is good at attacking and the other is good at defending, which is almost the most difficult to deal with. Moreover, both of them are senior archmages, and they will have some magic arrays at the bottom of the box, which will greatly offset their advantages in magic, even if Allen personally takes action, the final result will be a miserable victory.

"Alan, given your relationship with Herbert, I don't think he would be willing to help Hollander. ”

Bloom said.

"From what I know of Herbert, he will never watch us overthrow the rule of the Aughus. ”

Alan shook his head, he knew Herbert too well, and the old magician would never do anything to be sorry for Holancest.

"Although I don't understand military affairs, I must remind everyone that our food is not abundant, although we have intercepted the supply of the two mercenary groups of Flying Eagle and Spirit Snake, but without a big battle, at most we can only hold out until next spring, if we can't solve the food problem before sowing next year, our army and people will fall into a food shortage. ”

Isa, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, he had been in charge of relief to refugees and food and accounts for all these years, so he was very clear about the situation in this area. And the food problem has always been the fatal shortcoming of Tiesong Town, Tiesong Town is surrounded by mountains, which is not suitable for planting at all, and food can only be transported from the south, and it must pass through Aogucheng, so if they can't quickly occupy Aogucheng, the next food supply will be the biggest problem.

But while everyone was frowning and thinking about how to solve the problem of food supply, the door to the tent opened, and Morey and Ronan hurried in.

"Steven has a letter!"

"I'll see!"

Miranda was the first to jump and snatch the letter from Ronan's hand.

"It's Steven's handwriting!"

With just one glance, Miranda could tell that it was indeed Steven's own handwritten letter:

"However, Steven didn't help us this time, but helped his future father-in-law to persuade him to surrender. ”

After a few glances at the contents of the letter, Miranda pursed her lips and said.

"Bring it to me. ”

Alan said.

Miranda handed over the half-read letter, and Alan took it and spread it directly on the table, and everyone present put their heads together, everyone was curious about why Steven was going to persuade him to surrender and how he was going to persuade himself.

This is a long letter, starting with the history of nomads and mercenaries, then talking about the contribution of the Ogu family to the Godsa, then about Allen's relief of refugees and training of the militia with the support of the Ogu family, and finally Steven's strong appeal to the nomads to calm down as Allen's spokesman, if Allen is there, he absolutely does not want to see this kind of civil strife that makes his relatives and enemies happy. As long as the nomads are willing to put down their swords and guns, anything can be discussed, and any request can be made, and the Ogu family will try their best to meet their requests.

Seeing the paragraph "Alan never wants civil strife", everyone laughed, only Alan did not laugh, not only did he not laugh, but he took a quill pen with a solemn expression and drew a stroke on the letter.

"Brother Allen, what are you doing?"

Alan's strange behavior attracted everyone's attention, and Miranda couldn't help but ask, but Alan didn't answer, he put together the characters in his circle, and finally turned it into a sentence on parchment:

"Be careful, the wolf is behind!"
