Chapter 356: Don't owe favors
Bloom knew from the time Eren had sent them south that Eren must have a plan in mind, and he still admired the wisdom of this young magician, which could be seen from the performance of rescuing them from the horse bandits. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But he doesn't know what Allen's specific plan is, so what he wants to know most now is this, so that he can make corresponding deployments and arrangements as soon as possible.
Not to mention Shelly, after performing the elven mission with Allen, he knew Allen's ability to adapt and turn the tide. So, both men now pricked up their ears and waited to hear what Allen's detailed plan was.
"Originally, I came to Lorraine Manor this time for two purposes, one was to buy food, to meet old friends by the way, and the other was to inquire about some information about the Bolsma bandits, to provide reference for our next actions, but I didn't expect that these two things actually came together, and we could solve them together. ”
Alan immediately recounted his experience at Lorraine Manor, and then communicated his next plan of action to the two people.
Allen's plan was not complicated, he was going to buy half a million pounds of grain from the Count of Lorraine, and then escort the grain to meet with the horse bandits in the name of the Lorraine family, and send some of the grain to the horse bandits' lair. Wait until the location and strength of the horse bandits' lair are confirmed, and then find a way to notify Bloom and others who are ambushed outside the rift, looking for a suitable opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the horse bandits, Alan and Bloom should join forces, with Allen's magical strength, the horse bandits' camp will definitely be a mess, and Bloom will lead his troops to kill him, taking advantage of the chaos to take Bolth's life, as long as the big leader of the horse bandits, Bols, will immediately collapse morale and disperse.
"Alan, if you follow this plan, it is too risky for you to go deep into the enemy's lair. The Bols Bandits are not cyclops, they are outnumbered, and they have great swordsmen and great magicians in charge, and once their actions are exposed, they will be killed. ”
After hearing Allen's plan, Shelly frowned and said with a worried expression.
"This is indeed a bit risky, but it is also a last resort, my friend fell into the hands of horse bandits, I must first find his whereabouts and rescue him, so it is inevitable to go deep into the enemy camp, and the terrain in the Great Rift Valley of the Demon Dragon is complicated, if there is no internal response, but choose to attack from the outside, even if you can grasp the initiative and have the upper hand, the enemy is easy to retreat and flee, and we can't wipe them all out, with the tenacious style of the Bols horse bandits, they will soon come back. ”
Alan said with a determined expression, it was obvious that he had been thinking about this plan for a long time, and now he had finally made up his mind that he would not change it easily.
Bloom was speechless for a long time after listening to Allen's plan, and he also realized that the danger that Allen might encounter when he went deep into the horse bandits' den was equivalent to going deep into the dragon's den, but Allen was to rescue his friends, just like he had rescued himself, so he couldn't say anything against it anyway, and from the overall situation, this was indeed the best way, at least he couldn't come up with a better way at the moment, otherwise if he took a hard attack, heavy casualties would be on the one hand, and on the other hand, there might be no chance to completely annihilate the opponent.
"Believe me, it's man-made, even if my identity is revealed, I have a way to escape. ”
Alan knew that the two were worried about their safety, so they deliberately made a confident appearance, but in fact, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to choose to escape alone without rescuing Elvis.
"Anyway, Alan, take care of yourself, and don't forget what you're doing these tasks for. ”
Shelly stepped forward, patted Allen on the shoulder, and said with a sigh.
The Earl and the Lady of Lorraine spent half a month anxiously, and on this day, while the two were sighing in the living room, the servant suddenly came to report that the person who had kidnapped Master Clooney had returned.
The Earl of Lorraine hurriedly rushed out with his wife, and saw a black team of hundreds of people outside the gate, led by a tall and powerful swordsman, but for some reason he didn't see Alan Kanter, who had come before, and even the few teenagers who had appeared with Alan before.
It was the first time for the Countess to see so many people fully armed, and she was so frightened that the soles of her feet were weak, and if it weren't for the Count supporting her, she might not even be able to take a step. Although the Earl of Lorraine was also frightened, he didn't know why, he was relieved to see so many people appearing, because it showed that what Alan said before was not a joke, he was really going to rescue Elvis, otherwise there was no need to let so many mercenaries come over to put on a show.
"Your Excellency, my name is Bloom, and I am the deputy head of the mercenary regiment, and I have come here to receive food on the orders of Master Kanter. ”
When the two sides met, Bloom jumped off his horse and spoke first, Alan was the head of the regiment in charge of this mission, he was the deputy commander, and the deputy head of a large mercenary group was the first time in the history of the mercenary union that an ordinary mercenary was the deputy leader.
"The food is ready and ready to go, but I want to see my son first. ”
The Count shouted at Bloom with all his might.
"I wonder which son the Earl wants to see first?"
Bloom tapped the horsewhip in his hand and asked with a sneer, he had already understood the cause and effect of the incident from Allen, so he couldn't help but sneer at this time.
"We're going to see Clooney..."
The countess plucked up her courage and shouted in a sharp voice, but was immediately interrupted by the Count:
"I want to see both sons. ”
The Count of Lorraine said.
"Very well! When we return from Higg, it will be when the Earl's Excellency will see the two sons. ”
Bloom laughed.
"Steward, let the servants bring out the grain and hand it over to them. ”
In the laughter, Count Lorraine's face turned blue and purple for a while, he knew that this was the other party deliberately teasing and mocking him, but he was powerless to refute, he also knew that the other party would not hand over Clooney now, so he could only hand over the food to the other party as soon as possible and let the other party rescue Elvis.
"Sir..."
"Don't say anything, 500,000 pounds of grain for two sons, I think it's worth it. ”
The Countess seemed very reluctant to hand over the grain, but she was unable to stop it because of the Count's resolute attitude.
"Listen, it's not an exchange, it's business. Ten bags of gold coins, 25,000 in all, you can count them. ”
Bloom winked, and several of his men came up from behind, and threw the heavy bags they were carrying on their shoulders in front of the Count.
"As long as you can bring back my son, I can do without money. ”
The Count didn't even look at the gold coins on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Alan has an explanation, and he can't let Elvis owe you a favor, so it's better for you to accept the gold coins. ”
It was Shelly who spoke, and Bloom on the other side was already arranging for someone to take over the cartloads of grain pulled out of the yard. Most of these chariots and horses were hired by the earl, so they took over and only continued to pay the coachman for the chariots.
"Okay! I'll take these coins for now. ”
The Earl of Lorraine waved his hand, and several servants stepped up and carried the bag back with the gold coins.
"Your Excellency, there is one more thing you need to give me. ”
Shelly continued.
"What's that?"
The Earl was a little confused.
"A letter left by the bandits!"
Soon the food was counted, and Bloom immediately ordered the mercenaries to escort the convoy towards the southern border, leaving only the Counts of Lorraine and his wife in a daze as they departed.
