Chapter 23 Preparatory Phase
Mora Dinaire's palms were drenched in sweat and she swallowed uneasily. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Bellabet region, as an ordinary person who doesn't even have magic power, this man who has been mixed in the mercenary world for fifteen years, and he has experienced many fierce battles of life and death, but he can't restrain the uneasiness and fear that appear in his heart.
Mora lowered her head, stiffly maintaining a saluting posture, not daring to face the dark-haired boy sitting on the throne.
This young man, Arcana, is the master who dominates this city of the dead.
A powerful mage who destroyed the coal city in the blink of an eye, and may even be a powerful person, or simply a young man who is a strategic magister.
Thinking back to the events of that night, a large cold sweat broke out on Mora's forehead, and he must have been buried in this city if he had not been lucky enough for that chaotic and crazy night.
He didn't know why the other party wanted to see him, and in his memory, he shouldn't have done anything to offend the other party.
Probably so...... Mora wasn't sure, because that night, he had helped evacuate the inhabitants of Coal City, and had briefly fended off the undead with his companions, perhaps the other party had come to ask the master for his guilt.
It is said that it is the voice of a woman who has pushed the coal city to ruin, but Mora must not move a step now, the Dominator has not yet spoken, and he must not act rashly.
Now it was not only him, but the five companions behind him were also nervously waiting for the next changes.
Mora also knew that in the face of such a powerful magister, the six of them would not be able to make a decent resistance, not to mention that before entering the castle, the large number of undead they saw along the way had already worn away their luck.
He regretted a little why he hadn't left sooner, and fled to the other city-states the next day, just like the rest of his companions.
But it was because of lack of funds that they came here to seek a job opportunity, and it was too late to say anything.
In this slightly dilapidated hall of the Confession, there were strange attendants in hooded robes on the left and right, and beside the young man with his chin resting on his side, a strong, white-haired old man looked at Mora with a serious face.
"You're Mora Dinaire, right?"
Lin Yuan, who called himself Arcana to the outside world, looked at the man who was trembling slightly with interest.
"Yes, yes, I'm Mora Dinaire!"
Mora seemed startled, then immediately replied in a panic.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here with good intentions. ”
Lin Yuan smiled gently.
"Mora, are you and your mercenary group interested in joining us?"
“...... Huh?"
Mora wondered if she had misheard, and his companion was sluggish.
"Was it a surprise?"
Seeing the other party's expression, Lin Yuan knew that they hadn't thought of this.
"To be honest, I'm very short of so-called talents right now, and I'm looking for them right now. ”
Lin Yuan didn't lie, although he captured several cities, there were very few people who could help him.
The operation of every city requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources, in addition, the magic masters in those cities are dead and fleeing, and after the uncooperative people are transformed into undead or undead, the available manpower is even more lacking.
The undead who lack humanity can assist in the internal affairs of the city, but it is really reluctant to allow them to fight flexibly.
On the other hand, Thors, who is a fearful powerhouse, needs to guard the mana crystallization vein, and because of the appearance of magic items against him, it is even more impossible to transfer him to the front line at will.
Pang Heng's own strength is not weak, but when the number of enemies is small, the power of his trees cannot help the battle, and if he can only use fists and feet on the battlefield, his influence is limited, and he still has a task in his body, and he can't be mobilized casually.
Narretia's Prayer of Despair is powerful enough, but it is too powerful, and it is basically a strategic magic that can destroy cities, and it cannot be used on every city.
Herass is Lin Yuan's guard, an important last line of defense, and she can't be allowed to leave her side casually.
For the current Lin Yuan, there is high-end combat power, but it cannot be used at will, and the troops of the middle and lower classes can be replaced by the created undead and monsters, so that they can be put into the battlefield, but there is a lack of talents who can command them.
Therefore, Lin Yuan is looking for a suitable candidate.
"Mora Dinaire, are you interested in joining?"
Hearing this, Mora couldn't help but make eye contact with her companions quietly.
"That...... Why us, Lord Arcana, we're just ordinary people, we can't use magic, so we can't help you......"
Having understood what his companions were thinking, Mora relented, trying to push back on the request without provoking the other party.
Lin Yuan could naturally see the concerns in their hearts.
"No, you can still help, I need people who can command monsters in battle, and you are a perfect fit. ”
As he spoke, he looked earnestly at Mora and the others.
Mora was attracted by Lin Yuan's gaze, and looked directly at the pair of eyes that seemed to be shining.
"When you were evacuating the residents, I saw the heroic posture you showed, a few ordinary people blocked dozens of undead, and they were unharmed, that must be praised, and more importantly, ......"
The incantation in Lin Yuan's pupils changed rapidly, as if it was about to glow.
"You are rare good people, as mercenaries, you actually help those displaced refugees for free, which makes me even more admired, so I feel that I can trust you. ”
He said the truth, smiled sincerely, and of course, did not forget to use the charm magic on the man in front of him.
"Don't worry, come, just make a small oath, you will be my subordinates, and then you don't need to worry about money, work hard for me, and everything will be treated well." ”
Mora, who didn't know why, was very excited, and nodded in agreement with tears in her eyes.
So, Lin Yuan smiled happily and made an oath with the mercenaries.

“...... Their state seems to be a little strange, Lin Yuan, you shouldn't have done anything, right?"
After the mercenaries left, Pang Heng, who watched everything in the process, couldn't help but have questions.
The person who obviously wanted to refuse in the last second, but after being said a few words, his attitude changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and it was impossible to think about it.
"Absolutely not, this is the so-called words, Old Man Pang. Lin Yuanmian lied without changing his color.
Pang Heng naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything, since he made an oath, those people would not betray casually, he didn't need to worry about anything.
"But is it okay for you to give them those things?"
Pang Heng was a little uneasy about what Lin Yuan gave to the mercenaries.
"If there is no problem, just treat it as an experiment, and you have to try everything to know the result. Lin Yuan said disapprovingly.
"You know I didn't mean that," Pang Heng grimaced solemnly, "I'm worried about their bodies, didn't you say it would cause miasma?"
"That's why I gave each of them a talisman, no problem. Lin Yuan waved his hand.
"Even so, use those things to attack the city...... Won't it be a good fit, or I'll ......"
Lin Yuan shook his head and interrupted the old man's words.
"Old man Pang, a person's strength is limited, I know what you're thinking, but don't forget, you still have to do things, don't worry too much, this time, I will watch it well, and there will definitely be no other serious situation. ”
Pang Heng looked directly into Lin Yuan's eyes.
The black pupils are calm and unwavering.
“...... I hope you don't disappoint me. ”
Lin Yuan could see the old man's consciousness and determination, and since he couldn't stop it, he would channel it along the wave to minimize the impact of everything.
Very good idea. Lin Yuan smiled in a low voice.
"Of course, I won't let you down. ”
