Chapter 197: Internal Cleanup (Subscription Requested)
The troops led by Augusta, the camp has not yet been completely stationed, and the mercenaries of the twelfth battalion have begun to connect with each other in private, if it is not for the prestige of the sword battalion, the pioneer battalion and the [Pale Knight] August, maybe the mercenaries will eat black and black, and it is possible to kill the troops of the sword battalion, the pioneer battalion and even the sixth battalion that may hinder them first, and then go to the Golden Lion City to make a fortune.
As a result, most of the mercenaries in the twelfth camp, after they connected them in private, quietly avoided the patrols of the Sword Battalion and the Pioneer Battalion, and secretly poured into the Golden Lion City.
In the end, except for about a hundred mercenaries who did not enter the Golden Lion City for various reasons, the camp of the entire 12th Battalion was almost empty, and nearly a thousand mercenaries poured into this city, which was known as the only rich city in the northern part of the kingdom.
......
......
"That means nearly a thousand mercenaries have entered the Golden Lion City, right?" asked Barron, staring at Duke Duck and August in the command office.
"Yes!" said August, calmly.
Barron frowned and said, "But when I passed by just now, it seemed that the place where the 12th Battalion should be stationed still seemed to be empty, and there was no one at all, could it?"
August lowered his head slightly this time before he said: "Since the nearly 1,000 mercenaries entered the Golden Lion City in the early morning, none of them have come out, and we have also confirmed that your information is true, and there are indeed undead monsters in the Golden Lion City, the undead!"
"What a good way, a good way!" Barron suddenly clapped his hands and praised, he really didn't expect August or the Zhenbei Corps to really do this, and do it so decisively and quickly.
August bowed his head in embarrassment, but after a moment he raised his head, but his eyes could not meet Barron's.
It is impossible for Auguste not to know that the mercenaries can sneak into the Golden Lion City so smoothly, if it is a small amount, it is easy to say, but there are nearly a thousand mercenaries, which is equivalent to the strength of an entire battalion to enter the Golden Lion City.
If August said he didn't know, then he could really die, because as a supreme commander, he couldn't even turn a blind eye to the entire battalion under his command in private, and he couldn't grasp the movements of his troops, so what troops did he bring.
Even if you lead the troops and die in the hands of your own people one day, because the traitors have connected the army, you are still kept in the dark, if you don't die, who will die?
Therefore, August must have known about the mercenaries' private tandem, and even said that if the twelfth battalion composed of mercenaries did not have the personnel arranged by Auguste or Duke Duck to fan the flames inside, it would be impossible to almost enter the strength of a battalion at once.
I just don't know if these people who were arranged by Auguste or Duke Darke finally entered the Golden Lion City with the mercenaries, or found a reason to be with the remaining hundred or so mercenaries.
Obviously, these nearly 1,000 mercenaries were used by August as cannon fodder and experimental mice, and blindly entered the Golden Lion City to verify whether the information Barron said was true?
Maybe it's not just a reason to test the undead in Golden Lion City, just such a reason to bury nearly a thousand experienced mercenaries is really a bit of a compliment, unless it may be an internal purge operation of the Zhenbei Corps.
You must know that all official mercenary groups need the endorsement of the city to take effect, in other words, these official mercenary groups are the thug groups of certain forces, which may be the power of the local chamber of commerce, the power of the nobility, the peripheral forces supported by the three major corps, and the power of the royal family.
Therefore, some people want to take the opportunity of the undead monsters in the Golden Lion City to solve the secret methods of these forces at one time, so there will be a situation where nearly a thousand mercenaries will completely disappear as soon as they enter the Golden Lion City.
As for those free mercenaries, they are completely affected by the pond fish.
Originally, Barron was very likely to be one of them, but now he was able to escape because of his current strength, and his strength at this time has been able to affect many people and things.
At this moment, Barron finally knew why Duke Darke had kept him and the people of the Deathwing Mercenary Group in the Zhenbei Army, instead of stationing in a special mercenary camp like other mercenaries.
The first is to avoid Barron's variables of destroying the mercenaries as guinea pigs and cannon fodder.
If Barron is in the twelfth battalion formed by mercenaries, with the strength of high-level knights, it is very likely that he will have a lot of influence and voice in the twelfth battalion, and even the leader may be, whether he can send someone to secretly use the mercenaries is a big problem.
After all, Barron and several members of the Deathwing Mercenary Group have really seen the situation in the Golden Lion City, and it is very likely that the mercenaries will trust Barron and not others, and once they can't talk about most of the people in the official mercenary group, the purge plan will be impossible to talk about.
The second reason is still not at ease, as a high-level knight with the strength of Baron, in the entire Zhenbei Corps, the only one who can suppress Baron is Duke Dark, who is a great knight, even if it is almost certain that Baron cannot be a spy of the four lords, but it has not yet ruled out the rest of the forces, such as the Ice Wind Kingdom, such as the Goth Kingdom, and so on.
Therefore, it was best to keep Barron under the nose of Duke Dark.
"My nephew, Nader VII, is terminally ill, and probably won't live long!" said Duke Dark, speaking irrelevantly.
Then he continued: "But his country needs someone to come and inherit it, but it is a pity that none of the sons and even grandsons of Nader VII have the ability!"
"Or that their ability is not enough to support the progress of a country, in this era, if you are mediocre, what awaits you is very likely to be failure, or even death!"
"So you want to be the king of this country?" Barron asked suddenly.
Duke Darke laughed dumbly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Since I didn't have this idea 33 years ago, then I still won't have this idea now, but time will not stop, the years will still leave traces, I am 72 years old!"
"I have been protecting this country for 33 years, but there is no way that there will be another 33 years for me to protect, so it is impossible for me to watch the kingdom of Nader eventually weaken or even perish. ”
"I thought Frank would understand me, but I didn't expect him to choose one of his sons or grandsons to succeed him, which I think he was playing with fire!"
