Chapter 82: Confrontation
"Phew!"
The leader of the third squad of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Team in the Dro Kingdom, the human warrior Resas spat viciously at the opposite side, and then turned his head to look at his deputy, the elven warrior Floyd, who served as the vice captain.
"Hey, Floyd, how long do you think it will take us to take out that group of idiots on the other side if we fight?"
Floyd glanced at the spit on the ground, slightly wrinkled the eyebrows of the two eyebrows that Resas often teased as a woman because they were too slender, and wiped the spit off the ground with one foot on his face, while looking at a camp about three hundred meters away from his side.
"If the other side is not prepared, a minute is enough. But if the other side is prepared and goes to war head-on...... The results are not very easy to say. ”
"Not so easy to say?" Resas raised his voice sharply, pointed to the camp opposite, and shouted loudly, "What the fuck is there to say, even if these pieces of waste dare to fight us head-on, we will destroy them in minutes!"
Floyd shrugged his shoulders as he glanced at Resas, who looked at the unhappy Resas, and then at the camp across from him, which was still motionless.
"Captain, don't waste your efforts, it seems that the other side has been strictly ordered before coming, not to clash with us casually, you can also use it to stimulate them like this. ”
The expression on Resas's face changed several times, and he put down his hand in a dejected manner, wiped his face, and instantly regained his composure.
"You say...... What the hell do those guys in the Candela Empire think? Sending so many people from afar, just staying here and staring at us, and doing nothing? Are they eating too much?"
Floyd tapped his forehead with some headache.
"Captain. Your habit of knowingly asking questions is very bad. Obviously, we're both waiting for the outcome of the big guys' deliberations. Before the bigwigs did not end the negotiations. Who of our subordinates would dare to take action on their own?"
Resas muttered under his breath, and looked at the camp on the other side with the flag of the Candela Empire fluttering, and frowned deeply.
Four days earlier, he had led his squad of 500 chamber guards to the Namtso mine, and with great ease, he had driven out the local Dro thugs who had occupied the mine and recaptured it from them.
However, just as they were about to reorganize the mines, a team from the Candela Empire arrived.
The team flying the banner of the Candela Empire, when it came into contact with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort led by Resas, declared that they were just a team that had come to investigate.
But this so-called "investigation team". But there are two thousand heavily armed soldiers, and even the armaments carried by these soldiers actually have a large number of military magic machines.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire have also cooperated for many years, the Candela Empire has purchased a large number of military magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to equip their own army, but compared to the huge army in the Candela Empire, which has a total of more than 600,000, the military magic machinery they purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, in the Candela Empire, an army that can be equipped with military magic machinery can be regarded as the elite of the Candela Empire, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary troops.
This time, the Candela Empire suddenly sent a full 2,000 elites here in one go, and no one would believe it if it was just for what they called a "normal" and "ordinary" investigation.
However, it was only the day before Resas and his team arrived here. He had already received an order from the headquarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the headquarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the headquarters of the Escort Force in the Kingdom of the Dro Tribe, and the order told about the sudden statement issued by the Candela Empire. And it shows that the Candela Empire will also send someone to investigate this matter, and ask the detachment to cooperate.
In the order, although the top management of the Chamber of Commerce allowed the frontline guards to act as opportunistic, they must abide by the principle of trying not to have a head-on conflict with the Candela Empire and not to escalate the situation.
Therefore, in the past few days, although there has been a small friction between the two sides in the process of contact, Resas has been suppressing his subordinates and preventing them from clashing with the Candela Imperial army on the opposite side.
However, Resas himself continued to accumulate anger in his heart, so much so that he felt very glaring and unhappy when he looked at the camp opposite.
It's a pity that as Freud said, the group of troops of the Candela Empire on the opposite side have obviously been strictly ordered and have been deliberately restraining them, so although the two sides have been constantly frictional, they have not made a big fuss, even if Resas wants to teach the other side a little lesson.
"Actually, I've thought about it carefully in the past few days, we just want to get this mine back, and then teach the local Dero people a good lesson, so that they don't dare to make trouble again. But what the hell are these Candela Empire guys going to do, why do they suddenly want to get involved?" asked Resas with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know. Floyd sighed softly. "Although I have done a lot of research over the years on the patterns and social forms of human beings, I have not been able to fully guess all of your human thoughts. But I want to ...... According to the principle that human beings have a purpose for everything they do, this time the Candela Empire must be trying to achieve something. ”
"Nonsense. Resas glared at Floyd. "There is no purpose at all, why did the Candela Empire send two thousand people so vigorously, is it really too much to eat?"
Immediately, he frowned again: "But I can't figure out what the benefits of the Candela Empire are doing this, could it be that they want to get involved in this mine?" But the Candela Empire is so big, there are so many mines, why bother to fight with our Chamber of Commerce for this inconspicuous mine? It's too cost-effective......
Freud shook his head slightly: "Captain, you still don't think about these questions anymore. Don't you often say that we are just chamber of commerce guards, just complete the orders given above, why think so much. ”
Resas frowned and thought for a long time, clapping his hands vigorously and slowing down.
"That's right, it's my business, what I want to do. We will do what we are told to do. Speaking of which, what are we doing up there?"
Floyd looked at him with a smile: "The order from above is for us to reorganize the order of the mine, ensure the safety of the mine, and wait for the Chamber of Commerce to send another person to reorganize the production order of the mine." ”
"That's not all, there's ...... more."
"Captain, you've made another mistake with your old mistakes......" Freud sighed helplessly. "Another of our missions is to rescue the missing people from the Chamber of Commerce, but now they ......"
Resas raised his hand to interrupt him, straightened his clothes, and said energetically, "Very good, let's go on another mission now." The whereabouts of those chamber of commerce colleagues are still unknown, we can't be in a daze here, we should hurry up and question the witnesses and ask more about the situation. ”
Floyd reached out, but he didn't even tug at the corner of Ressa's coat.
Seeing that Resas had already strode towards the camp of the Candela Imperial army opposite, Freud did not dare to slack off, enjoyed beckoning, and motioned for the twenty chamber guards who had been following the two to chase after him.
The two soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Candela Empire guarding the gate of the camp on the opposite side saw Resas and the others approaching from a distance, and their expressions immediately became nervous and vigilant.
"Stop! This is the Candela Imperial barracks, you are not allowed to enter without permission!" one soldier shouted.
Resas pursed his lips disdainfully, and said in a loud voice: "Don't talk nonsense, go in and tell you that captain named Uther is going to come and ask for someone, and he is limited to hand them over to me within five minutes, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!"
"You're welcome?" a strange voice came from inside the Candela Imperial camp, and then a middle-aged man with a thin figure who was wearing not the military uniform of the Candela Empire, but an ordinary aristocratic uniform. "Captain Resas, why are you welcome?"
Resas glanced at him, then turned his head away, and said coldly, "Get out of the way, I'm looking for Captain Uther, not you sissy." ”
The middle-aged man was furious and pointed at Resas and yelled.
"Who do you say is a sissy? You're just the captain of the escort team of a mere Chamber of Commerce, and you dare to speak so disrespectfully to a noble Count of the Candela Empire! Soldiers, catch him!"
The two Candela Imperial soldiers on the left and right sides of the camp gate looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.
Not to mention that they had already received a strict order not to clash with the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at will, even if there was no such strict order, how could the two of them dare to do something with more than 20 people opposite?
Seeing that the two soldiers did not react, the Earl was even more angry, and pointed at Resas, his lips trembled, and he wanted to curse, but he was a little afraid to speak.
Although he had only been in contact with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team for only three days, in these three days, this Count Zidal from the southeastern province of the Candela Empire had fully appreciated the arrogance and unreasonableness of the captain of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, and knew that it was pointless to reason with him, and it was even more useless to scold him.
Fortunately, at this time, a sturdy young man wearing the uniform of an officer of the Candela Empire came out behind him, and relieved Count Zidal from the siege.
"Resas, what are you doing again?" Captain Uther frowned at Resas and Floyd, the elven man beside him with a helpless smile on his face.
"Nothing, I just remembered one thing out of nowhere. The witnesses were told that they could interrogate you for three days, and now that the three days have passed, should you give them back to us?" said Ressa. (To be continued......)
