"Uh, hello!." Hu Bin looked at the group of numbered people with different expressions in front of him, showing a helpless expression.

"What are you staring at me for?" Seeing that the group of numbered people didn't mean to say hello at all, they stared at Hu Bin tightly, which made Hu Bin a little unbearable.

I don't know who leaked the news of Gandalf's conversation with Hu Bin before, and those numbered people who were staring at Hu Bin found out about the news and began to call friends to come to the fortress of Aocheng, and the result of this was that Hu Bin was surrounded by a group of people as soon as he walked out of Gandalf's tent.

"I don't have time to talk to you, hurry up and recruit it, what tasks do you need manpower?" Ta Dun said a word in the crowd, and the others began to coax. And Hu Bin finally knew what this group of people was doing, and the person who leaked the secret didn't confess himself.

Hu Bin stood at the door of the tent and stared at the tower shield in the crowd without saying a word, and the tower shield was flustered when he saw it.

"Gandalf must have a group mission to be released before he asks someone to find you!" Ta Dun said hesitantly, and then saw Hu Bin still staring at him with a strange expression.

"No, big brother, you should give me a good word, don't scare me. When they heard the news, they even called the numbered people who were hanging out in the White City, and if they were told to run for nothing, the group would have demolished me. Seeing that Hu Bin didn't say a word, Ta Dun immediately approached Hu Bin and whispered beside him.

Hu Bin continued to be silent, and Ta Dun's cold sweat immediately oozed out of his head, and the numbered people behind him had already begun to see that something was wrong, and they frequently focused on Ta Dun, and the taste of confusion became stronger and stronger.

Just when the tower shield was a little overwhelmed and was about to run away, a soldier came out of the tent and handed a scroll to Hu Bin, and the numberers immediately stopped whispering and focused their eyes on the scroll in Hu Bin's hand.

"You're lucky this time, don't do such a dead thing in the future." Hu Bin glared fiercely at the tower shield. Rip the scroll open. I have to say that although what Ta Dun did was a bit unauthentic, it did help Hu Bin a lot, at least he didn't have to arrange the notices anymore, and at the moment when time was tight, it could be said that there was one less thing to do.

In the previous surprise attack on Aocheng, the numberers suffered a lot of losses in their troops, and due to proper tactics and timely support from outside the city, although most of the numberers were wounded, there were no casualties. The rewards for killing orcs and retaking Fortress Aocheng add up to a huge gain, and their losses are nothing compared to such rewards. Soldiers and retinues can be resurrected for money, but Gondor's prestige and campaign contributions are not something that gold can bring, and although Gondor did not give some material rewards to the numberers, it relaxed the recruitment conditions for the regular army of Gondor, and the numberers of the Gondor camp finally ushered in their own spring, and they could use the large amount of military merit they had accumulated to recruit Gondor soldiers.

The numberers who got the sweetness have a deep memory of Hu Bin, the person who issued the task, and the reason why they were convinced after Ta Dun released the news, even many numberers who did not go to the warehouse to participate in the screening last time also rushed here after hearing the news.

These people are a little anxious, though. But he still waited patiently for Hu Bin to finish reading the scroll, and then received a task prompt from the space as he wished.

"Mission Name: Raid Supply Lines

Requirements: Attack the Lunes supply team at least once in three days, and require the food damage of more than 80% of the supplies escorted by the supply team.

Rewards: The number of War Elephants will be reduced by 50% during the Battle of the White City, and reputation and military merit will be rewarded according to the performance of each numberer.

Mission Failure Penalty: None"

The numberers were all thoughtful after reading the mission brief. There was no penalty for failing the mission, but they all saw the importance of the mission, and if the entire Elephant Legion were to be involved in the final battle, the situation would be very difficult for the defenders at that time.

In order to make the decisive battle easier later. The numberers present accepted the task, and it was better to go to the trouble of the supply teams than to face the extra war elephants in the decisive battle.

"Who will command the mission this time. It won't be sent to us two natives! A lazy voice came from the crowd.

Hu Bin glanced at the numbered person and found that he was still an acquaintance, and it was the fat man who had been knocked down by himself.

"No, I'll be in charge this time, do you have any opinions?" Hu Bin took out the temporary rank badge that Gandalf had given him and pinned it to his chest.

"Of course not." The fat man was startled, the numbered man in front of him, who looked quite white-faced, was a ruthless character, and he would not stupidly send it to the door to be taught another lesson.

Hu Bin, as the commander of this mission, could distinguish the numbered people who received this task, he glanced around at the numbered people around him, and found that most of them had accepted the task, and then raised the volume to suppress the voices of the numberers.

"I know you have a problem with me coming to command this operation, and those who oppose it can speak out, and I will give up this position." Hu Bin waited for a while and found that the others were silent, maybe some people were still waiting, but Hu Bin continued: "Since there is no objection, then I will say it in advance, you can not obey my command in this operation, but you will bear all the consequences." ”

After Hu Bin finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of others, and packed his bags and prepared to go.

"Reed, don't you wait for more people to join, there are still a lot of people thinking about coming here." Ta Dun leaned in at this time and asked.

"I don't have time to wait for them, haven't you noticed that three hours have passed since the three-day time limit of the mission?" Hu Bin patted the saddle and stepped onto the horse's back with a leap.

"What's going on, didn't Gandalf just post the mission?" Ta Dun was taken aback after glancing at the spatial hint.

"The quest wasn't issued by Gandalf, it was triggered by another numberer, I just got the right to pick it up from Gandalf, there is still a part of Gondor's army waiting for me to take over in the north, I'm going to go first. As for those numbered...... "Hu Bin said here with some hesitation. "Forget it, I didn't count on them anyway, so you can wait here instead of me. Ta Dun, give you and Lynn a piece of advice to keep yourselves safe. Also, be careful of numberers from the same faction. ”

Hu Bin tossed the scroll to the tower shield, and then rode out of the fortress, followed by his retinue and cavalry.

Hu Bin's words made Ta Dun a little incomprehensible, but he left in too much hurry for Ta Dun to ask carefully, but Ta Dun still firmly remembered Hu Bin's advice and remained wary of these numberers in the same camp.

"Master, why don't we take them with us." Lorraine asked, a little puzzled, that after all this time, the priest knew that the alliance between the three was very strong.

"The situation on this mission is a bit complicated, and I don't want to implicate them." Hu Bin said unwillingly. Then he ordered his men to hurry up again.

……

On a deserted post road, a group of knights galloped on horseback, and the lush weeds were trampled by the horses' hooves, bringing up a flurry of dirt and turf.

The knight at the head was dressed in bright silver heavy armor, his delicate face showed a hint of solemnity, and his long pale yellow hair fluttered and undulated with the bumps, so that a trace of messy hair was stuck to his face with sweat.

Hu Bin swept the hair off his face and glanced at the sun slanting westward behind him, and then let the team behind him slowly slow down and settle down, he took off his helmet and wiped his sweat. He then ordered his men to camp on the spot.

"Ted, bring me the map!" Hu Bin wanted to pull out the map from his baggage, but suddenly remembered that the map was with Ted, after he was used to living a life alone in the Lord of the Rings world. Hu Bin was about to forget the life of a noble lord who was taken care of in the warband world, and the loneliness that arose after leaving Ta Dun and Lin was immediately diluted by the return of his subordinates.

"It's easy to come when you're alone." Hu Bin sighed to himself.

The reason why Hu Bin didn't let Lin and Ta Dun come with him is very simple, that is, Hu Bin has been drawn into a dispute. When Gandalf said in a meaningful tone that several lords had come to his aid, Hu Bin already knew that something was wrong. The group of lord-level numberers is finally about to get moving.

In the Aocheng Raid mission, Hu Bin not only posted notices on the bulletin board, but also posted some in hotels and bars. However, less than sixty numberers came, and only about thirty numberers participated in the mission, and the reason for this situation was the lord-level numberers, who absorbed a large number of scattered numberers to form small groups in an attempt to monopolize the power of the numberers.

If Hu Bin took the route of taking the initiative to take refuge in order to open up his situation in Gondor, then these lords and numberers undoubtedly took the route of waiting for the price to sell, and they even did not hesitate to preserve their strength to put pressure on the top level of Baicheng in order to achieve the purpose of seeking more benefits.

The fortress of Aocheng has held back a large number of troops on the White City side, and the only thing that can be mobilized is the forces of the alliance of these numbered lords, although these lords and their numberers are divided into several factions in the interior, but the attitude towards the white city is to resist in unity. The approach of the Rune forced the Lord Regent to compromise with the lords and send them troops to contain the advance of the Rune.

But at the same time as this compromise was made, the White City higher-ups also lost their last patience with these numbered lords, and they found themselves through Gandalf to take over the Icirid ranger troops, undoubtedly in the guise of disgusting those numbered lords, as long as they intervened, the credit for this operation would not completely fall into their pockets.

"Gandalf, I really shouldn't expect anything from you, but I've fought side by side with you, can't you change your pit?" Hu Bin found that after he was trapped, he could only be called by Gandalf as a gun, not to mention that the price given by Baicheng was not low, and the title of an honorary nobleman directly made Hu Bin lose all his discipline and embark on a road that blocked the majority of people in the same camp.

Hu Bin, who was named an honorary nobleman, was given many privileges, including recruiting soldiers from the Gondor camp, but thus embarked on a path of confrontation with the lord numberers, which made Hu Bin offend most of the numberers of the Gondor camp, and the gains and losses in this were up for debate, and Hu Bin did not want to be angry because of a little profit.

But Hu Bin had no choice, in fact, from the moment the White City side set aside the lord number during the Aocheng Raid mission, Hu Bin had already entered the trap that Gandalf had set for himself. Naturally, there will be the eyes and ears of the lord numberers among the numbered people who participated in the surprise attack, and Hu Bin was used as a knife to deal with them by the White City side and entered the field of vision of these lord numbered people, and Gandalf set the rewards of a series of missions in Aocheng very generously for this reason. And what makes Hu Bin take the bait and obediently is only the interests that he can't refuse.

For the sake of his own interests, he does not care about the life and death of others, which is completely in line with the principle of the numberer, and Hu Bin has nothing to do with those who have never been masked with the numberer lord. Of course, these nominal allies can be sold for profit. Although Hu Bin has great respect for their brave spirit in facing the antigen inhabitants, driven by interests, Hu Bin's discipline has dropped to a negative number.

In order to block the great cause of competitors, Hu Bin first had to find the thugs that the White City side had configured for him, the Icilian Ranger Force was undoubtedly a pretty good thug, it seems that the White City side also made a bloody investment for this matter, as for the obvious saying that they failed to attack twice and suffered heavy losses, these words can also deceive those numbered lords who do not know the situation, Hu Bin, who has fought with the rangers, does not believe that these cunning archers will face the army of the Lunes head-on.

But the problem is that Hu Bin first has to find this unit.

Hu Bin and his entourage were already very close to the Lunes troops. Although the distance between the Lunes army and the White City was less than a day's time, the lack of supplies and the slow pace of the War Elephant Legion meant that they might have to wait a few days on the road.

"Since the Runians are here, the Icyrian Ranger must be around here." Hu Bin muttered as he clicked on a spot on the map.

"Damn, Gandalf, this guy put me on the table again, he actually forgot to tell me how to find that unit, there is no hint of a code or something, isn't he afraid that I will be the enemy." He was halfway through the journey and remembered that Gandalf hadn't told him how to connect with the rangers.

"Those rangers must have found a hidden place to hide, it's really hard to do! Hidden location. It looks like there's a secret stronghold of the Icylian Ranger near the secret passage of the city, by the way, the map! Hu Bin suddenly opened his mind and pulled out another map from the space ring. This was the map he had brought to Borromir's room earlier, and it was meant to be used as a backup. Due to Faramir's house arrest, the commander of the Isirilian Ranger unit was also the commander of the Isirilian Ranger force, and the map in Boromir's room naturally indicated the secret strongholds of all the Isirid Rangers. And on the map, a stronghold happens to be around here.

"Luckily, it seems we don't have to spend the night in the wilderness and stop camping. Everybody come with me. Hu Bin ordered excitedly.

……

The horses were left at the edge of the woods, and Hu Bin and his men staggered through the dense woods, the sky was getting darker, and they still hadn't found the stronghold on the map.

"Damn, it's more tiring to walk in an hour than a horse in a day!" Hu Bin wiped his sweat and complained a little embarrassed.

"Master, it's getting dark, are we going to find an open space to camp?" Ted shouted energetically waving the map in his hand, and he had been marching Lorraine on his back for an hour, but he still couldn't see a sweat stain on his face.

"Look for another half an hour, and if you can't find it, give up." Hu Bin said a little angrily that when there was a map, he couldn't find that group of rangers in the woods, which was really a shame for the elves.

"Ted, I've changed my mind, tell the others, and we'll set up camp on the spot." The corners of Hu Bin's mouth twitched suddenly, and he stopped Ted from ordering the camp, but secretly used his mental power to tell Ted to be on guard.

"Got it, master." Ted called everyone over and began to command Hu Bin's words, but gestured to the others.

Hu Bin stood in place and quietly watched his subordinates get busy, and suddenly summoned the holy sword, sending out a series of sword winds towards a lush bush. Then the knights and entourages who were clearing the clearing suddenly pulled out their weapons and quickly leaned together to form an array, protecting Hu Bin and Lorraine in the middle.

A vague figure sprang out of the bushes, the bowstring in his hand trembled, and an arrow was shot at Hu Bin from mid-air by the figure.

"Raise your shield!" Ted let out a loud shout, and the knights together erected their kite-shaped shields, forming a shield wall, and a rapid rain of arrows shot at them from all corners of the woods.

Hu Bin crossed the human wall formed by his subordinates with a strong step, opened the light body technique and the wind wall technique, and quickly rushed forward against the rain of arrows, and then slapped down the bow and arrow in the hand of the previous figure with a sword, and grabbed his neck when the opponent's center of gravity was unstable.

"Call your men a ceasefire!" Hu Bin shouted loudly, slightly reducing the force in his hand, but the figure quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist and slammed it into Hu Bin's abdomen.

"Are you blind, I repeat, call your men a ceasefire!" The dagger did not break through the armor defense of Hu Bin's abdomen at all, Hu Bin grabbed the opponent's neck and threw him to the ground, and then condescendingly pointed to the temporary rank on his chest and shouted.

"Ceasefire! Cease fire! It's your own people. The guy on the ground finally showed a hint of panic and hurriedly shouted around.

The arrows shot from the shadows finally stopped, and agile figures emerged from the treetops, wearing dark green cloaks covered with rattan and leaves, and the bows and arrows in their hands were still pointing at Hu Bin and his party.

"Finally found it." Hu Bin showed a smile and slowly took off his helmet.

"Elves?" The ranger on the ground stood up and let out an exclamation when he saw Hu Bin's face. (To be continued......)
