Chapter 142: Twelve Members
When Saresa was gone, and everyone saw the commander-in-chief and the joint troops converge, Captain Sepra stood up. Everyone else also stood up, with their backs to the water-powered mill, waiting for the next instructions.
"Everyone has heard it, this member is called Twelve, but you may not know," General Sepra's right palm has been simply bandaged, "Twelve has been deaf since she was three years old due to illness, and because of this, she can only make some simple sounds, and basically cannot communicate with you in words. Hearing this, Avi realized that it was not because she was shy that she didn't say a word, but because she was simply an acquired deaf and mute.
"And how are we going to communicate with Twelve?" Wood asked.
"Saresa has told me that you don't have to worry about Twelve, she can observe the subtle movements of any person, and add the expression of the other person to judge the other person's intentions. Of course, if you know simple sign language, she will be able to understand the meaning of your movements. ”
Everyone looked sideways at Twelve, who just looked at Sepra until she noticed the gaze of the crowd, and then lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Anyway, your mission is not to protect her, your mission is to take down the head of the rebel leader Golia," Sepra pointed to Twelve, and the other party immediately held his head high and acted as if he was following the command seriously, "Her task is the same, so even if you can't talk or listen, as long as you can kill Golia." ”
Avi knew that the person who used the bow and arrow had to be calm and calm in order to make his arrow accurate and steady, if Twelve was really a deaf and dumb girl, then her world must be very quiet, and her heart would definitely have a lot less distractions than others, right?
In the time that followed, Sepra began to explain the mission of this special unit.
Captain Sepra said that there will be no time for rest and training on this mission. The members here are all stunning, and the twelve different members all have the same goal, so whoever kills Golia, either alone or in a group of people, is the end of the mission. Captain Cypra also said that although he is the captain and his mission is to direct the advance of the team, his mission objectives also include killing the rebel leader Golia.
In addition, Cypra also told everyone that the mission would pick the most suitable time. He said that the regular army of the East Oguna Empire had now advanced to the north of the Golden Hoof City and was heading towards the defense line of Yiwang City, and some mobile troops had already infiltrated behind the defense line. He told all the members that they were not very concerned about how the regular army would attack, but that they would consider whether to launch a surprise attack once they had obtained the exact location of Goliath.
Now this special force has two plans - the first is to advance with the regular army to the enemy's defenses, and then, under the cover of the regular army, turn into a sharp bayonet and go straight to the heart of the enemy, Golia, and the second is to bypass the regular army and carry out a sneak attack after obtaining information about Golia. Sepra said that the first scenario should be the most likely scenario, because Golia's whereabouts have become a mystery, but he believes that even if the opponent does not defend the defense of Righteous King City, he will fight against Doret City, so the first plan is both conservative and steady.
And according to the intelligence, Golia has a lot of guards around her, and some subordinates with enchanted weapons, I am afraid that these guys who protect Goliath will become the biggest obstacle to the special forces. In view of this situation, Sepra has formulated a reserve plan - if the regular army has a greater advantage in the battle line, then there is no need for the special forces to directly attack the place where Golia is, and they can take a detour to the route where Golia may escape, and cooperate with the regular army pursuing the victory, and flank the opponent in front and rear, so that Goliath has nowhere to escape. Cypra had already made it clear that because of the ambiguous attitude of the Kingdom of Salins and the Three Duchyes, the choice of the Papal States to take sides, if the rebel leader Golia fled elsewhere, then this special force would be tantamount to a failure in the mission.
"Although each of you will not be punished for failing the mission, if Golia escapes from the territory of the Oguna Empire, then you don't want to receive a single payment," Sepra's eyes swept over the four mercenaries, "If you can successfully complete the mission, the reward will not be spent for a lifetime." ”
A member of the nobility asked, "What if I am killed or wounded by someone else before I have even touched Golia?"
"As long as Golia dies in the end, whether you kill it, or he kills it, or because of our help, other soldiers kill you," said Cypra, "each of you will be rewarded accordingly. ”
It was clear to all the members that some of these people must have come for the title of earl and the vast land. You must know that in the empire, it is very difficult to obtain titles and land, and in this country where strict class is respected, birth is very important. A teenager like Avi, whose father is unknown and whose mother is only a horse breeder from a modest background, makes it almost impossible for him to enter the ruling class. Unless he came from a soldier and had great military achievements, he might still have some status. So this mission, for these capable fighters, is definitely a rare opportunity to climb up.
Bignose Fan wasn't interested in any of this, he just wanted to end the mission quickly, and whoever killed Golia, as long as he took his share of the payment.
Avi fantasized in his heart that if he had killed Golia, would he have been forgiven by the magistrates and inquisitors of the Oguna Empire for the merits of this mission, and erase his convictions, but he only thought about it for a moment, and immediately shook his head vigorously. Avi clarified one thing in his heart, he would never beg those who framed him, and he would not forgive those who ruled that he was guilty, those who were guilty and needed to be forgiven. Avi had secretly decided that if he did get a large sum of money, he would leave the country with his mother, this unjust and unjust empire.
At this time, the faces of the twelve members showed various expressions, each of them had different thoughts, and each of them was making his own little calculations. The enemies of the mission target are very powerful, and the rewards of the mission are very rich, which no one has ever encountered.
Ignoring the doubts or private calculations of the crowd, Cypra said that no one should act alone during this time. In order to avoid traitors in this special unit, he decided to divide the seven people including Wood into one group, with Wood as the squad leader, while himself, Gomon, the three people of the two-color blade mercenary group, and twelve or six people were divided into another group, with himself as the captain. Both groups of people must live and eat together, and other actions will also be together. If anyone behaves strangely, unexplainably, and unreasonably, he must be informed at the first time, and he will destroy the traitor after confirming it.
Avi looked at the others, there were originally sixteen members, but five were killed in the morning, there shouldn't be any more spies sent by Golia, right?
After determining these basic matters, Cypra led everyone to a farm outside the town of Mimito, where more than a dozen horses were already waiting to be selected. And the "king" of Avi was also pulled from the tavern, and it seems that the town was indeed completely controlled by the invading forces of the East Oguna Empire.
As soon as Avi got on his horse, Girl Twelve came up and gently touched Avi's thigh with her hand. She gestured with her hand to what she meant, and Avi pondered for a long time before realizing that he was asking him to carry her.
"No problem, you don't know how to ride a horse, do you, then sit behind me!" Avi stretched out a hand and pulled the other man up, so that the other person sat behind him. Twelve was actually lighter than it looked, and Avi patted the "king" on the neck, and it should be no problem to carry two people.
The voice of "thank you" was very unclear from her back, and the shy girl had already put her arms around Avi's waist and leaned on Avi's back, and the two were like a little couple.
