Chapter V: Accountability

When Luo Sheng was immersed in the joy of reuniting with his relatives, a team of more than forty people rushed out of the forest in the northeast direction, led by a person with blue eyes, blonde hair, and a suit, shining in the sun, it was none other than Alan Smith, the leader of the White Feather Mercenary Regiment, the last team of mankind.

Seeing Allen appear at this time, the leaders involved in the battle, whether it was Elisa, Old Bard, or Daddy York, had ugly faces. And Luo Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold light. Although it was also late, the time when the White Feather Mercenary Group appeared was much earlier than in the previous life.

Although known for her personal combat prowess, Alyssa is definitely not incompetent in tactical command. With three years as an acolyte in Elson's Kingsguard, coupled with Baron Cook's words and deeds, Elisa's tactical command skills are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Later, Alyssa was able to break into the name of the 'Fire-Haired Valkyrie', which is inseparable from her excellent tactical command ability.

There is no doubt that Alyssa's tactical command ability is so good, but she suffered such a big loss in this battle in her previous life. In addition to the unexpectedly strong and cunning of Old Pike, the prophet of cold light, the biggest reason for Elisa's failure was undoubtedly the tardiness of the White Feather Mercenary Group.

In Alyssa's plan, Old Bud's Iron Shield Mercenary Group has strong defense and the worst mobility ability, so it is the first to attract the attention of the fishmen, and then the most mobile personal guards will attack and tear apart the fishmen's formation, while the White Feather Mercenary Group, the largest mercenary group, attacks from the other side, rushes into the torn formation, and completely defeats the fishmen.

And for the cold light prophet Old Pike, Alyssa also has arrangements. There are two priests in the White Feather Mercenary Regiment, both of whom are 'silent arts'. The two of them took turns to cast it, which was enough to make Old Pike unable to cast large spells that could affect the situation of the battle, plus Daddy York, a tough ranger, with good cooperation, it was normal to snipe Old Pike.

It's a pity that Alisa's plan was good, but when it came to implementation, it fell through most of the time. Without the cooperation of the White Feather Mercenary Regiment, the task of tearing apart the Fishman formation became very arduous, and without the Priest's silence to suppress it, Old Pike's Frost Nova reversed the tide of the battle, and the Guards and Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment also suffered most casualties, and the human captives were not rescued, and the operation almost failed.

On the contrary, because the White Feather Mercenary Group finally arrived, they forced back the hesitating old Pike, not only did they not suffer any losses, but they were themselves advertised as the saviors of this operation, and their prestige and power were greatly improved, becoming the final winner. If this was not intentional, Luo Sheng would not have believed it.

In fact, some things that happened after that also confirmed Luo Sheng's judgment. It's just that when everyone realizes the wolf ambitions of the White Feather Mercenary Group, the situation can no longer be reversed.

"Miss Elisa, I'm so sorry! We're sorry we didn't make it in time, Miss Elisa. Noticing the looks on everyone's faces, Alan hurriedly ran to Alyssa and said apologetically. His expression was earnest, his eyes were clear, as if he was truly repentant.

Although he wanted to punch Allen's handsome little white face, Luo Sheng still held back his anger and looked at Alyssa. At this time in her previous life, Alyssa lost her troops and failed, the strength of the White Feather Mercenary Group was complete, forcing back the strong enemy, and she was full of radiance, Alyssa could only restrain her wings and let go of the White Feather Mercenary Group full of malice. And this time, Alyssa was a big success and her strength was not damaged, and Luo Sheng wanted to know how Alyssa would handle the matter.

"Commander Allen, the wartime miss is not something that can be solved with a word of apology. According to military law, this is murder. Under the inquiring gaze of everyone, Alyssa replied with a blank face and a cold expression.

If it were an ordinary girl, in the face of such a sincere apology from a handsome guy like Allen, no matter what happened, I am afraid it would be gently revealed. But Alyssa is not comparable to ordinary girls, she stepped on the battlefield early, and she fought bloodily, and she knows better than others the terrible consequences of the White Feather Mercenary Group being late. The operation went well, and nothing was apparent. If the action does not go well, the late arrival of the White Feather Mercenary Group may even bury the operation.

Hearing Alyssa's cold response, Ellen's face stiffened slightly, and even a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes, but he noticed that Old Bud and the others, who had gathered behind Alyssa, regained their warm looks.

"Miss Alyssa, you have wronged us. We weren't intentionally late, we had an accident. Alan said with a look of grievance: "And we are here in the Cook Territory, not in the army, if we are a little late, we will not use military law to kill people, right? Not to mention that this time there is Miss Alyssa you commanding the battle, isn't the fishman already collapsed? Let's come a little earlier, a little later, the impact is not so big, right?"

"Who said it wouldn't have had a big impact? If you weren't late, the fish-man formation would have collapsed a long time ago, and our regiment wouldn't have been besieged by the strengthened fish-men at all. There are still eight brothers lying there. Without waiting for Alyssa to speak, Old Bard slammed the shield in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily. Compared to the powerful Alyssa Guard, the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, which appeared as a decoy, took more attacks and suffered more damage. Old Bard felt sorry for the loss of the mercenary group, and spoke in a rather impulsive tone.

"This is indeed ours, in this way, the wounded in this battle, whether they are the people of the iron shield or the personal guards, are under the responsibility of our mercenary group, and the treatment is all free. Miss Elisa, what do you think of this?" Hearing Old Bard's question, Alan not only did not get angry, but responded very positively. This doesn't look like two mercenary groups are competitors, but like a brother mercenary group.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Alyssa frowned, and looked at Allen's gaze with a little more meaning. The biggest harm of losing the time limit on the battlefield is that it may cause the collapse of the war situation, and the military law uses this to kill people, more to eliminate the risk of the collapse of the war situation, rather than the losses that have been caused.

But with the words of old Bard, Alan directly limited the harm of being late to the damage that had already been caused. This seems to be responsible, but in fact it ignores the potential risks and throws off the biggest responsibility. Such a slippery performance made Alyssa disgusted, and at the same time, the suspicion in her heart also increased a little.

"It is your duty to treat all the wounded free of charge, not only the soldiers, but also the captives, as part of your punishment for default. But Captain Alan, you still have to explain the accident you encountered. What is it that keeps you from joining the fight, despite the dangers we face? Alyssa replied coldly. Since she was suspicious, of course Alyssa would not let Alan easily fool her, and while putting the responsibility of treating all the injured on the White Feather Mercenary Group, Alyssa also asked Alan to give everyone an explanation.

"The accident is this, a second-order ice wolf. We happened to run into it just in time when we were making a detour. It didn't have any effect to appease the animal, so it had to be dealt with first, so it had to be delayed for a while. As for the treatment, let's do as Miss Alyssa says. A huge white wolf head was taken out of the spatial belt, and Alan said with a wry smile. Although he hated the aggressive Alyssa in his heart, looking at the determined Alyssa, Alan still made a compromise.

Among the three teams participating in the battle, the White Feather Mercenary Group has the largest number of people, but it does not mean that it is the strongest. Whether it is Elisa's personal guard or the Iron Shield mercenary group, they are all elites, and their professional levels are above level three. Especially on Alyssa's side, there is not only Elisa, a genius warrior, but also Barrett, a ninth-level stalker in the shadows, and an eighth-level druid-bruck who hides in the forest and does not show up, all of which are extremely difficult characters. If it is really confrontational, there is a chance that the White Feather Mercenary Group will fall behind.

And more importantly, behind Alyssa stands Baron Cook, an amazing royal general with high strength and prestige. Although Andrew Cook guarded the Snow Dragon Pass and did not sit in Cookling, as long as he was alive, the White Feather Mercenary Group would not dare to confront Cookling in the open. And if he offends Alyssa and is driven out of the Cook Territory, all the plans of the White Feather Mercenary Group will come to naught, and this price is unbearable for Allen. So even if he felt very humiliated, Alan could only compromise and give Alyssa an explanation.

Looking at the wolf head in Alan's hand, Alyssa frowned slightly. Theoretically, early summer is indeed the time when the Northland ice wolves are active, and it is normal to encounter snow wolves in the Dragonspine Mountains. But at the critical moment of encircling and suppressing the fishmen, the White Feather Mercenary Group happened to encounter the ice wolf, and thus delayed the opportunity to join the battle, the probability is absolutely small to negligible, and there must be something bad about it.

But now that Alan has the wolf head in his hand, and there are so many people in the White Feather Mercenary Group, Alan is definitely not a fool. In this case, Alyssa couldn't find a reason to have a seizure for a while. After all, being forced to be late in the event of an emergency and being deliberately late and causing heavy casualties to friendly forces are two different concepts. Especially now that it is not in the army, and the White Feather Mercenary Group is only a hired mercenary group, it is difficult for Alyssa to be ruthless without catching a real handle.

Glancing at the members of the White Feather Mercenary Regiment, who had already begun to rescue the captives and treat the wounded, and then at Allen, who had a sincere but obviously fearless face, Alyssa sighed softly. Although he knew that the White Feather Mercenary had nine out of ten evil intentions, the other party's methods were quite clever and did not leave obvious flaws. Coupled with the Bright Holy See looming behind the White Feather Mercenary Group, Alyssa also had to choose to compromise temporarily.

"Although it was an accident, it is also a fact that your White Feather Mercenary Group failed to participate in the battle on time, and you must bear the corresponding responsibility. After a moment of silence, Alyssa said solemnly: "First, you are responsible for the treatment of all personnel, and the cost is free. Second, deduct the rest of your commission and divide it equally between the Iron Shield and the Guards, and the spoils of war have nothing to do with you. Third, you must be tasked with clearing the remnants of the Fishmen, and you must ensure that they no longer threaten Cook Territory. Do you agree with these three?"

"Good. We agree. Feeling the firmness in Alyssa's gaze, Alan thought for a moment and finally chose to agree. It's just that at the moment of bowing his head, a terrifying cold light flashed in his eyes.
