Chapter 456: The First Battle of the Gula Lion's Underground
Alfred, the Lion of Gulla, was once the head of the mercenary group and now a subordinate of Langdon.
He didn't follow Langdon for long, if not at all.
After being rescued by Langdon in the Hundred Nations Federation and deciding to join Langdon, he did not stay with Langdon, but went back with his men to continue to fulfill the commission they had accepted at the time, and followed the caravan back to the Emma Empire.
He went back for three reasons.
First, he Alfred was a man of swear, and since he had accepted the commission, he had to complete it.
Second, he wants to go back to those who assassinated them to take revenge, and if there is kindness, he will repay him, and he will repay him, which is also the tradition of the Gula people.
And the third and most important point is that the foundation of his mercenary group is in the Aima Empire, and in addition to these people brought out, there are more than a hundred people who are still in the Aima Empire.
He followed Langdon, but that didn't mean that the rest of his men would be willing, some went and some stayed, and he had to take care of that.
Originally, he was going to disband the mercenary group directly, and if he was willing to follow him, he would leave, and if he was unwilling, he would be given enough severance pay.
It was the easiest and most time-saving, but Langdon prevented him from doing so.
Langdon gave him some advice on what to do with the mercenary group, or to put it simply, it was actually the first assignment he received after joining Langdon's command.
Keep the mercenary group running.
That's what Langdon gave him.
The mercenary group will not be disbanded, but it is just to tell everyone that the focus of the mercenary group will be shifted to the Federation of Hundred Nations in the future, and the mercenary group of the Aima Empire will become a branch.
Langdon's reason for doing this is simple, despite having the Enchanted City as a territory, Langdon's roots in the surface world are shallow after all, especially in terms of information and intelligence, almost the same as Yuanwang City before he got Tior.
All information is an afterthought, and even someone who invades the territory has to be reminded by the task system to know, and it is completely passive.
That was when Langdon had a full territory and was surrounded by Mistress Isis who could provide him with some information.
And in the overworld world, Langdon didn't even have any of this, and his eyes were completely black, especially since he hadn't reached an agreement with Wimbledon Speaker at that time, Langdon could be said to have no source of information at all.
In this case, the source of information is particularly important.
And the mercenary group in the Emma Empire is a very good source of information, and Langdon certainly won't let it be disbanded in vain.
From disbanding the mercenary group to forming a mercenary group distribution, not only will the composition of the personnel change dramatically, but also the direction of the mercenary group's focus will also change because of Langdon's needs, which is more troublesome, especially if Alfred, a person who has never been engaged in related work, does it.
Most of Alfred's time back to the Emma Empire was spent on this, and revenge didn't take much time.
In terms of strength, compared to those who wanted him to die, the strength of his side was already in the upper hand, otherwise he would not have forced those people to find foreign aid.
Moreover, the other party's behavior was not only aimed at him, but also violated the interests of the high-level leaders of the Aima Empire and even the royal family, so this time it was not only the people of the mercenary group who did it, but also other forces.
These forces are working at the same time, and those guys don't have any ability to resist.
After dealing with everything, it was already a few months later, and Alfred rushed to the Federation of Hundred Nations almost non-stop.
If it were someone else, the subordinates who had just been subdued would have been missing for a few months, and it is estimated that they would have become suspicious of their subordinates for a long time, and even thought that their subordinates would not come back if they escaped.
Langdon, of course, would not do that, and not only was he sure that Alfred would return, but he also had a temporary station for Alfred.
Originally, he was asked to stay on the ground temporarily, run on missions, and familiarize himself with the environment of the Hundred Nations Federation, but also considering that they had always lived in the underground world and didn't want them to come to the underground world to suffer, but he didn't expect that he took the initiative to follow a few dark elves to the underground.
While Langdon himself was taking the men to pick up Alfred and one of his men, our Gula Lion was in some trouble.
"Haven't they come back yet?" Alfred asked in a deep voice, poking his head out of the exit of the passage to look outside, but unfortunately, for those of them who came from the earth, all they could see was the pervasive darkness.
They followed a few dark elves into the passage, all the way to the underground world, for their safety, several dark elves left them in the passage, and went back to report to Langdon first.
Before Langdon arrived, they ran out of food, and had no choice but to go out in search of food, and in order to minimize the target, not many people went out, so Alfred's right-hand dragon personally took the other four Gura people with him.
It's just that nearly three days have passed since the fight, and the dragon has not returned, so Alfred is not worried.
This is the underworld, a world they have never set foot in, and they are unfamiliar with everything here, and they don't even know if the dragon has gone far away in search of food, or if it has encountered danger.
Alfred looked outside, and despite his full eyesight, all he could see was darkness, not much better than the others.
His questions could not be answered by other subordinates, so they could only look at him with an embarrassed face.
After a moment of silence, Alfred suddenly turned and walked into the passage.
It wasn't long before footsteps sounded in the passage again, and Alfred walked out of the passage with his bloodline guardian beast, the Santa Lion Gu.
"You can't wait like this, everyone, with your guard, follow me to find the dragons and them!"
Soon, more than twenty people left the passage on their bloodline guardian beasts.
Although he hadn't really seen the underworld, he had been known for his "murderous name" for a long time, so this time Alfred didn't bring too many people, just all the Gulas.
A group of more than twenty people marched in the darkness at high speed and in silence, without lighting torches.
The dark elves had told them not to light a fire if they didn't have to, because the light of the fire would make them a target for the terrifying beings who hid in the darkness!
Alfred didn't know where the dragons had gone, so he had to follow the direction the dragons had set out to find them.
But he didn't look for long, and a torch pointed the way for him.
The bearer of the torch was a Gula man, one of the dragon's squad, who had also been told, but still lit the torch, which is enough to see that he was in a hurry, and his life was so urgent!
"Boss! We've been attacked, it's the Dark Elves! Brother Long is desperately trying to make a hole for me to come back for help! They're ...... over there."
When they met, the Gula man shouted this sentence with all his strength and passed out - he was not lightly injured, and he hurried frantically, completely relying on perseverance to survive until now, and even his bloodline guardian beast fell to the ground with weak legs at this time.
"You two, send him back and take good care of him. Alfred commanded, and then, his gaze slowly swept over the others, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, light the torches, and support the dragon at full speed!"
A series of torches lit, completely ignoring the possible threat in the surrounding darkness, hurried in the direction the man was pointing.
For the sake of brothers, no matter how dangerous it is, there is no fear, this is the Lion of Gula!
