Chapter 122: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
For the same target, send more than two ambush teams, is it because there is too much money and burns in a panic, or is it afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and you want them to have a fire first?
With a stomach full of suspicion, Kevin suddenly remembered a more serious problem, and he immediately jumped on a slightly higher stone so that his companions could see where he was standing, and at the same time whistled in his mouth and raised a fist to summon his companions of the Black Lion Mercenary Regiment to gather with him.
Hearing the clear signal from the leader to assemble, the mercenaries hated and glanced at the remnants of the attackers who had not yet been annihilated, and they all felt sorry, but they still chose to obey the order, and while doing enough defense, they quickly retreated to the place where the leader had summoned.
Until now, the attackers who originally had a certain advantage were left in a small circle, and more than 30 people were struggling to support them, and if there was no new group of thieves appeared, it would only take a little more to wipe them out, but now there are great variables.
"Hahaha!" Medina laughed wildly and said, "I only remembered it at this time, it was too late." ”
Kevin ignored the tall woman's ridicule, but kept urging the mercenaries to speed up the assembly, rescue and escort the light and serious wounded, form a new line of defense, and other things, and was busy for a while.
Several mercenaries rushed out of the group, grabbed the bloodied Battle, lifted him up with their hands and feet, and sent him to a relatively safe place for treatment.
Dawn and Normer also stopped the pursuit, and looked at the attackers in front of them who were fleeing desperately, and joined the group of thieves who had just appeared.
"Let's go back and meet my uncle first. Normer said.
"Good. Chenxi agreed with her brother's decision, "I can't run anyway, and let them catch their breath for a while." ”
Just as Kevin feared, Medina and Morabi openly bargained in front of so many people on both sides of the enemy, although there were certain necessary elements to comply with the rules of the trade, but the most important thing was to delay time, so that the members of the "Codex Thieves" who appeared from the other side of Taniguchi had enough time to form a formation and come to the encirclement.
Like the thieves who appeared here, the thieves in the direction of Taniguchi also came down from the mountain wall, and it took relatively enough time to land on the ground or to assemble the army.
"Our boss said that everyone is a peer, and the slightest friction that occurred in the past should be regarded as a moment of drinking too much and fooling around, and the past is not to blame! As long as you are willing to join the 'Code', you will be good brothers and a family in the future." ”
A bearded man took two steps forward from the group of thieves, opened his mouth at the thirty or so surviving attackers, and shouted with a smile, his attitude was quite kind, as if he had not seen an acquaintance for many years.
"It's so nice for everyone to get rich together and play with women together!"
He opened his arms, made hugging gestures, and laughed heartily.
Not far from the bloodied and scarred attackers sat the leader of Morabi, who seemed not to hear what the bearded man was saying, and who bowed his head to deal with the wound on his knee, the lobbyist of the Codex Thieves, who had openly dug into his wall in front of him.
"Okay! I'd love to. ”
A skinny assailant didn't think about it, and said cheerfully.
"I do, too. ”
No matter how tricky things are, with someone who takes the lead, it is naturally much easier to be willing to follow.
"Me too. ”
"Add me one. ”
The echo of the south-to-north tone and gossip sounded, and almost all the surviving attackers expressed their attitude, and the herd mentality was fully reflected.
The bearded man smiled even brighter, and he arched his hand, and said, "Then the brother has the courage to say thank you for the boss," and then he raised his thumb, shook it behind him, and said, "Brothers, who are willing to join the 'Codex', go ahead and bandage their wounds, drink some water, and recuperate." We have our own people on the other side. ”
As soon as the title changed, his expression was a little more affectionate than just now.
Those who can survive after a long war are all hard stubble, both in terms of skill and psychological endurance, they are the best choice, for the thieves who specialize in illegal and unscrupulous things, they are simply the best candidates, swallowing such good hands in one breath is equivalent to accidentally making a small fortune.
The rest of the attackers, who had not immediately agreed to join the Codex Thieves Group, invariably changed their faces slightly, don't look at the beard to speak affectionately, but the threat implied in the words was clear:
Those who are willing to join the "Code of Thieves" are their own brothers, and they can be sheltered and treated immediately;
As for the fact that he still can't see the situation clearly, and even tries to raise his own value, where is it cool!
Without the help of the Codex Thieves Group, a very small number of people will face the encirclement and suppression of the Black Lion Mercenary Group, what kind of fate will it be, think about it with your ass.
Several of the attackers who were thinking about the problem with their heads had gloomy faces, and quickly made eye contact, but they had to choose to give in, and arched their hands towards the beard one by one, and said, "Then thank you to this big brother for eating." ”
"You're welcome. It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”
The bearded man replied with a smile on his face.
At this point, the No. 100 attacker who participated in the ambush convoy was declared annihilated, and the bearded man of the Codex Thieves Group also successfully completed the historical mission of drawing wages from his peers.
Except for Morabi, the tall, lanky former chieftain.
The bearded man glanced at Morabi, who was busy dealing with his knee injury, and kept a sincere smile on his face, and said, "Lord Morabi, please also come to the front to rest and rest." ”
Moraby's face was disillusioned, on the one hand, he had lost too much blood, and on the other hand, his future was gloomy, he tried to pull the cloth, and after confirming that the gauze used to fix the wound for emergency was tied, he sighed weakly and said, "I'm tired." ”
Then he struggled to stand up, clamped a wooden handrail removed from the car under his armpit, temporarily used it as a crutch, and limped step by step in the direction where the palm of the bearded hand was facing, and walked quite hard.
No one came up to help him the whole time.
In fact, whether it was in the face of the previous public solicitation of bearded people, or the step of joining the Codex Thieves, no one of Moraby's original thirty-odd subordinates looked at him at all, as if he were transparent.
From the moment Morabi abandoned his men and fled for his life alone, he was no longer the leader of everyone.
Even in the underground world, there are general laws for its operation, and Moraby's use of a group of subordinates as substitutes for the dead ghost is definitely a serious violation of the relevant laws, if it weren't for the fear that he would be able to fight back when he was seriously injured, and the code thieves coveted his personal property as much as eighty percent of his personal property, and generously sheltered him, I'm afraid that this Morabi would have been beaten to death by his angry subordinates.
The bearded man followed behind Morabi with a grin, and in his opinion, Morabi, who was lame at the beginning, was like a life-size golden man who could walk, and his whole body exuded the charming light of Jinkern, but it was important to watch.
While the Codex Thieves were busy codifying the remaining attackers and devouring Moraby's wealth, the Black Lion Mercenary Group was also operating efficiently, quickly implementing the instructions of the head of the group in accordance with the established steps, and with the convergence of various data, Kevin's face became even more solemn.
The situation is extremely dire.
From the early hours of the morning to the end of the hour, in just over half a day, Kevin has taken advantage of the gap in the fierce battle to organize three meetings of the backbone of the regiment to discuss the next battle plan, not to mention this kind of small-scale battle, even if it is a big battle between countries, it is difficult for this situation to occur, leaving the commander with the opportunity to adjust calmly.
Although the scale cannot be compared with that of the regular army, the severity of the battle, and the doom that the loser may face, are more than equal. Not to mention anything else, just by looking at the number of people attending the meeting from more than 20 at the beginning to a few people at the moment, we can know how great the combat attrition is.
"Is the 'goods' still there?"
Kevin asked, in a low voice.
"In. Particularly honest. ”
Ritz replied, the afternoon sun was very fierce, and his bald head was particularly shiny, and the fierce-looking fourth-level mercenary pouted and said disdainfully: "This kind of waste, in the girl, may be able to show some manliness, just now when I heard that the defense line was breached, I was immediately so frightened that even the window was closed, and I don't know if I was so scared that I peed my pants." ”
"Anyway, give him ten guts, and he won't dare to break through and escape alone. ”
The bald head thought about it, and then said more, which was a reassuring pill for his boss.
Captain Kevin nodded, as long as Marquis Ryder's eldest son was still safe and sound, everything would not be the worst.
"Counting the minor injuries, there are still ninety-seven in our family that can fight. The problem is that more than half of them are wounded, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. In addition, there are twenty-three guards on the side of the Marquis's Palace, and if you count the coachmen who can wield knives, there can be thirty-two more, the problem is that most of them have sparse skills, only three are considered to have reached the third level, and the strongest hidden man, Butler Clay, has already died. ”
Hansen, who was five big and three thick, gasped and reported the latest situation of the team to Kevin, and after speaking, he picked up the water bladder and poured a large mouthful of cold water, his whole big face was full of dust, sweat and blood, and it was dirty.
As a fifth-level mercenary, in the front team led by Battle, Hansen is already the strongest one, and at this moment, the mountain dwarf cannot command his subordinates, and it is his turn to take the lead, so his expression is very serious.
"Aaron's condition is quite stable, but he is completely unable to fight, and I have personally seen the 'dwarf', and I have also used a second-order 'healing technique' on him, and there is no danger to his life at present, but the rest of the battle cannot be counted on. ”
The pale-faced priest sighed and added, "In addition, there are only four people left in my own team who are above level 4, including you and me. Well, it's all here. ”
"I can still fight!"
Battle's rough and hoarse voice took over, his left shoulder wrapped like a large dumpling, and blood was faintly oozing from the gauze. The words are as heroic as ever.
The arrow shot by Medina just now was extremely domineering, and it pierced half of his shoulder horizontally, but fortunately, it was the mountain dwarf who was often joked about "long", if it weren't for his special body that was as wide and thick as a "finch brand", if it were replaced by other people in the group, including Kevin, I was afraid that he would be shot directly into the chest from the side by the menacing dark arrow, and if he died on the spot, he would become a first-class cripple, the permanent one.
