Chapter Ninety-Eight: Prepare Again
After a qiē calmed down, the consul asked Bai Qi to stand on the edge of his chair, and he sat in the chair and asked with great interest what happened to Bai Qi after he went deep into the enemy territory.
Bai Qi said: "Your Excellency, Great Consul, I think you have heard more than once about what happened to us on the opposite side of the Arare Valley, and if you are interested, I will tell you more about it later, but I have more important news for you now." ”
Looking at the solemn look on Bai Qi's face, the archon also became serious, "Say it." ”
Bai Qi said: "I think you have also heard that when we assassinated Captain Saxon, we accidentally captured a troll witch doctor. ”
The Archon nodded.
"I interrogated the witch doctor, and from his mouth, we learned why the trolls and orcs had joined forces to attack our borders."
Hearing Bai Qi say this, the archon suddenly sat up straight.
Bai Qi said: "Just more than half a year ago, the Zanga Troll Clan was suddenly attacked by the Jade Kingdom of the Green Dragon Kingdom in the deeper part of the dark forest, in just a few months, the Zanga Clan lost the Zanga Lake where it thrived, and most of the population was lost. ”
The consul listened to Bai Qi's words and nodded noncommittally, in fact, the consul had already known about these situations from the people who came back in advance, but he believed that Bai Qi's cautious advice would definitely not be the only one.
Sure enough, after Bai Qi paused slightly, he continued: "We also know from the troll witch doctor the reason why the Jade Kingdom is frantically attacking the Zanga clan. ”
Bai Qi's words not only focused the consul's attention again, but also made the elders in the audience listen with bated breath.
"It is said. King of the Emerald Kingdom, a powerful warlock. It seems that a way has been found to extract and fuse the blood of the trolls. ”
Before the elders in the audience could react, Bai Qi heard a "hissing" sound of inhalation from beside him. The archon asked incredulously, "Fuse the troll bloodline?" Stealing the troll's regenerative powers? ”
Bai Qi nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”
The elders in the audience gasped, and some even shot longing and greed in their eyes.
During this period of war, human beings have a deep understanding of the regenerative ability of trolls, and this ability is already a kind of immortal body in a certain way, even if the head is cut off, as long as it can be quickly taken back, it is possible to grow again, what a rebellion against the sky.
If only human beings could have this kind of anti-heaven talent. That......
Just when the patriarchs were thinking about it, the archon had already calmed down and said to Bai Qi: "Go on! ”
Bai Qi continued: "This news surprised me very much, if this is true, if we humans can also have that magical regeneration ability...... so I let the others come back first, and I myself sneaked to the vicinity of Zanga City occupied by the Green Dragons......
Then, Bai Qi told him what he had done in Zanga City and what he had encountered.
Wait for Bai Qi to finish. The archon slapped the armrest of his seat and said, "I see! I said why the trolls suddenly withdrew. ”
With that, he stood up and reached out to press Bai Qi's shoulder. He said in a deep voice: "You have saved the defense line of the Arare River Valley! ”
Bai Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, you have won the prize." Even without me, the dragonmen who stole the blood of the trolls would still die. Not even time will change, all I've done is make the troll's retreat a little earlier. Let everyone know the reason behind this qiē, that's all. ”
The archon shook his head and said, "You know what? If the trolls are evacuated a few days later, our second line of defense will be lost, and the combination of trolls and orcs who are good at shooting is really terrifying. Once we go to the second line of defense, even if the trolls withdraw, the remaining line of defense will definitely not be able to withstand the next attack of the orcs. ”
Speaking of this, the archon patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "When the war is over, Leoni City will definitely fully support you in ascending to the throne of the Archon of Blackwater City." ”
Blackwater City is very close to Leoni City, and Leoni City has one of the most powerful fleets on the Salo River, and with the home field advantage, no fleet of that city-state dares to compete with Leoni's three fleets near Leoni City.
In addition, Blackwater City itself was taken down by a Leoni City fleet as the main force, so the future ownership of Blackwater City, Leoni City can be the majority of the masters, which is not only due, but also necessary, Leoni City will never allow Blackwater City, which is across the river from itself, to fall into the pockets of other city-states.
Therefore, the consul's promise was definitely not a blank check, and the elders in the audience all cast envious eyes at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi was overjoyed on the surface, and smiled bitterly in his heart to solemnly thank the consul.
Leaving the temple, Bai Qi and the three of them returned directly to Monroe Town, where they were once again greeted with enthusiastic cheers.
After dismissing the enthusiastic townsfolk and sailors, and announcing the promise of Archon Leoni to the two great warriors and the many Chosen Warriors, reassuring everyone, Bai Qi broke away from the crowd.
Returning to the temporary garrison of the private army converted from the warehouse, Bai Qi summoned Roundup and asked him about the current situation in Leoni City and the battle situation on the front line, of course, he was most concerned about the movements of the other space soldier fleets.
The city of Leoni has not changed much, except for the increase in the price of strategic goods such as food and weapons and armor, and despite the poor situation at the front, the people of Leoni are not too worried.
The Arare Valley defenses have been breached many times by orcs, but the city of Leoni has never fallen.
Speaking of the battle situation on the front line, Round's face became a little heavy.
In addition to their magical regeneration abilities, the trolls also have an amazing talent for bows and arrows and throwing spears, with arms nearly twice as long as humans allowing them to draw longer bows, shoot arrows more powerfully, throw javelins with more energy, sharp eyesight, and excellent balance and coordination, making their shots more accurate.
With this group of excellent marksmen and spearmen, the casualties suffered by human soldiers in offensive and defensive battles increased exponentially.
Although it has only been a dozen days since the opponent attacked the city with all his might, the casualties of the human defenders have been as high as thirty percent, and the morale has also been greatly hit.
Finally, Bai Qi asked about the movements of the space soldiers.
Round's image of those space soldiers who, like them, dared to go to the enemy's territory to assassinate Captain Sassen, was very impressive, and he had already ordered Bai Qi to pay special attention to the news of these people after he returned.
Bai Qi and his team went to Zanga City for a while, and they were delayed for four days, but due to the superior performance of the Aurora, which could accommodate more oarsmen, the speed of the voyage, especially the long-distance speed, was much faster than that of ordinary warships, so Bai Qi's return to Leony City was only three days behind.
For the past three days, the Space Troop fleet has been resting in the city and has not made any further moves.
Bai Qi nodded slightly when he heard this, this is also reasonable, going deep behind enemy lines undoubtedly makes people nervous, after completing the task, he really needs to have a good rest.
After asking Nonda about some of the warriors he had recruited, and knowing what he knew, Bai Qi summoned Ushtu and Messiah successively.
He paid for Ushtu's employment fee with two top-tier charismatic pieces of equipment and some gold coins. And with a thousand gold coins a month's expense, he hired the other party to continue to serve himself.
After meeting the Messiah, Bai Qixian reiterated that as long as he could get the position of the first consul of Blackwater City, he would definitely allocate him 10,000 acres of land, and proposed that in order to be able to get the position of consul smoothly, he hoped that he would continue to stay and help him.
This land is related to the future of the Messiah family, and naturally there is no room for loss, so he agreed without hesitation.
Next, Bai Qi summoned all the recruited Chosen Warriors separately, and asked them all to stay and continue to help him at the price of one hundred gold coins per month.
The first day of triumphant return was spent in such a busy way.
Early the next morning, as soon as Bai Qi got up, he received the news that the space soldier fleet, which had rested for three days, set off again early in the morning and went downstream along the Suo Luo River.
For this news, Bai Qi thought about it, and he didn't take it to heart, he took a team of Chosen Warriors and left Monroe Town and entered Leoni City.
Bai Qi visited several families who were known for their wealth, and borrowed a full 10,000 gold coins with the warships in his name as collateral.
Then he went to the horse market and spent a lot of money to buy more than a hundred high-quality war horses.
The war horse selected by Bai Qi has excellent endurance and has a small bloodline of highland scale horses.
Although the price of this kind of war horse is far inferior to that of the plateau scale horse, it also costs more than twenty gold coins each, and more than one hundred war horses, which cost him nearly three thousand gold coins.
Bringing these horses back to Monroe Town, Bai Qi asked Roundup to invite someone to take care of them.
Later, he returned to Leoni with Duncan, visited the Clayton family, and spent a lot of money to charter five large merchant ships of the Clayton family.
Bidding farewell to the Clayton family, Bai Qi visited the consul again and borrowed from him the temporary use of the training ground of the First Legion.
Returning to Monroe Town, Bai Qi gathered all the Chosen Warriors under his command, selected fifty people with better riding skills, and distributed two of the purchased war horses to each.
After that, Bai Qi summoned Ushtu and Messiah, and brought these fifty God-chosen warriors and more than a hundred war horses to the training ground of the First Legion and began to run in and train. (To be continued......)
