Chapter 33: The Rebels Are Many
On the hillock that could observe the passage, Wu Xin and Di Liya were not in a hurry to observe the enemy, anyway, they already had enough eyes to stare in that direction, and they first observed their comrades.
"It's terrible." Deliya looked at it for a while, and then whispered to Wu Xin. "The two orc men of Little Bosnaka are terrible, I didn't expect the others to look inferior to them."
"Well, they can't get enough to eat, these orcs have obviously been half-starved and half-fed for many days." Wu Xin also saw the state of this team. "Even if it's the drow elves, most of them have worn weapons, and not everyone even has leather armor. But don't worry too much, the enemy is definitely not much stronger. ”
"Well, it should be like this, this task is already too difficult, the difference in strength between the two camps is too big, fortunately, you are doing a good job, if you don't arrive in time, and you can't get the complete trust of the drow elves on the side of the Faith Spider Queen, our mission will be even more difficult to do." Deliya knew that being able to have this situation now was already the result of Wu Xin's efforts. "If we are free to fight, we will be able to play a role in the battle."
Wu Xin wanted to be modest, but at this time Villefort joined their conversation: "Look at the few teammates who joined this time, I think that fisherman Joel is okay, and that Bultha is really timid and useless." ”
Wu Xin shook his head, although he was also a little disappointed in his heart, but he still said a word for Bursha: "Her choice may not be bad, we have done a good job in the leading task, and there will definitely be several tasks to go to the tower of the first family, but if we do it, it will definitely not be as beneficial as directly participating in the war, just see if she is more or less useful." ”
His words made Villefort also a little moved, but at this time, he obviously couldn't go back to do "cowardly and useless" things.
It was at this time that the rebels appeared.
"It's the Seventh Family!" Little Bossnaka could see the other party's flag at a glance. "Do they really dare to stand up to the First House and the cavalry of the Ruling Council?"
"And the Ninth Family is here too." After a moment's glance at the banner that appeared on the other side of the passage, the Mother of Bosnaka confirmed that there was more than one Seventh House of enemies.
"There are three seats to be vacated in the Governing Council now!" The eldest daughter of the Bosnaka family, who was following her mother, not only did not worry, but showed an excited expression.
'Hmph, if there is no hair in the skin, will it be attached?' This eldest daughter is really dizzy, Wu Xin sneered in his heart, but said on his lips: "That's right, after the destruction of the rebellious ministers and thieves, the Bosnaka family will inevitably have a place in the ruling council." ”
"Your Excellency, you're so right." The eldest daughter said as she leaned her body against Wu Xin, who was not tall like the other women, but her chest was extremely strong. "Your Excellency, you are so handsome, you must be a warlock, and when the rebellion is extinguished, please rest on the island of Malta for a few days, and let me take you on a tour of this pearl of the Mediterranean."
There are no specialties on the island of Malta, and the scenery is not magnificent.
However, she judged Wu Xin's profession through the information provided by her younger brother and Wu Xin's appearance.
Wu Xin's teammates also showed different expressions, Villefort was envious and jealous, and Delia frowned slightly, and then turned her gaze coldly.
Wu Xin shook his head slightly, and distanced himself from her a little: "I also hope so, but His Majesty the True Pope is waiting for our good news, I can't let him wait for a long time no matter what, but unfortunately, I can't get your company, Miss, this is really my loss." ”
Wu Xin's answer was decent, and the eldest daughter smiled understandingly, which slightly eased the tense atmosphere before the battle.
The housewives of several other families around them also showed relaxed expressions, and they were actually very nervous.
The Kaga Mistress was very careful in her arrangement, and she arranged for the few servant families closest to the Archon to come to this place so that they could compete fully.
Entering the governing council meant having a voice, and that voice meant a whole host of benefits, whether it was priority rationing or better grazing land, something that the Bosnaka family desperately needed.
But the mother of the Bursnaka did not look forward to it at all, not only because she knew that the situation was already very bad, but also because the victory in front of her was so easy to obtain: "The enemy must have exceeded two hundred, no wonder the situation has been so difficult in the past few months, and the two of them did not sell some slaves, but bought some, it turned out that they had made up their minds to rebel." We have three families, but we have less than two hundred in total. ”
During this time, the small family was forced to sell some of its weaker slaves due to insufficient supplies and an embarrassing situation, but the other party did not do so, but instead ate some efforts against common sense.
"Sister, it's nothing, we just need to block them when they are in the middle of their actions, and when the main force solves the third family, these families will naturally be finished." The head mother of another family hypocritically said to the mother of the Bursnaka that their family is actually in competition, although there may be a lot of vacancies in the ruling council, but in fact, the first family may support the small forces that are very far behind in order to control one more vote, so for these families, it is actually necessary to pinch each other.
However, her suggestion was good, Wu Xin and they occupied the favorable terrain in advance, and the hillock they were on allowed them to intercept the enemy from it.
Even if the enemy's advance passes a little, the lizard cavalry, which is the general reserve, can easily destroy them.
The enemy's numerical advantage is very small, and if a part of them is split up to intercept them, then the strength that can support the tower of the third family in the main battlefield is also limited.
At this time, the troops of the Seventh and Ninth Families were already close enough to be seen by the eye.
"It doesn't seem right, there are far more than two hundred enemies." Wu Xin saw that the situation was different from what he expected, although his battlefield operations were limited, but as a family member of a seafarer who had been observing the dock for a long time, he could more accurately judge the exact number of people at this level. "About three hundred to three hundred and fifty people, no more than fifteen up and down."
"It can't be!" The eldest daughter of Bosnaka immediately retorted, "Three hundred and fifty words is equal to the entire population of their two families, can they pull out the old and weak, and the family does not need any defense?" ”
Her mother knew that Wu Xin was right, and as she got closer and closer, she also noticed that the number of enemies was different from what she expected: "The envoy is right, more than three hundred people, they really poured out, their own family's defense facilities are very limited, once the third family destroys them, they will not be able to drag on for long, they will enter the tower of the third family, and merge with other rebels to support it for a longer time, this is not a decision that those master mothers can make, it seems that there are masters in the enemy." ”
"There are twice as many enemies as us?!"
"They're going to fight hard!"
Several other family mothers immediately fell into a state of faltering, and one of them said to the mother of the Bursnaka: "Sister Bosnaka, I think we might as well avoid the enemy for the time being, anyway, the cavalry team controlled by the first family has not moved, Lord Kaga will definitely not let this enemy get close to the tower, let's wait until the main cavalry team intercepts them and then cover and kill them from behind." ”
Although they are eager to make meritorious deeds to gain a seat in the Governing Council, they need to preserve their strength, and it is useless to have great merit without strength in the world of the Drow Elves.
The Mother of Bethnaka knew this, too, but as the highest person in the place, she did not dare to accede to the demands of others.
If this rebel army and the Third Family are allowed to merge, then the Kaga Mistress will definitely give her a good look.
She believed that with the help of the cavalry, the Kaga Mistress could intercept most of the enemy's reinforcements, and even if a few reinforcements rushed into the tower of the Third Family, it would only delay the destruction of the Third Family for a few days at most.
At that time, the rebellion was put down, and the head of the first family, whose prestige had risen greatly, would definitely severely punish him for the crime of escaping from the battle, and perhaps directly give her the charge of "co-ordinating the rebellion", and take away the land of the Bosnaka family along with the slaves.
But she didn't dare to throw her family's troops directly into the battlefield, after all, losing force is also losing everything.
Little did she know that if the Third Family could hold out for a few days, the tiny city-state of Drow on the island of Malta would be doomed.
While she was hesitating, reinforcements from the Seventh and Ninth Families had already rushed into the passage, and the striker had approached the middle of the passage.
It wasn't hot, but the Mother of Bosnaka was drenched with sweat, and she couldn't make a decision in the face of a dilemma.
Her children just looked at their mother and did not dare to speak.
And the mothers of other families secretly rejoiced, they not only preserved their strength, but also avoided taking responsibility.
"God protect us!"
At this critical moment, Delia suddenly let out a loud roar!
