Chapter 662: The Gamble Is Made
Of course, this ghost castle is definitely not as easy to deal with as Marc Gasol said lightly, but wealth has always been sought in danger, and it is not easy to get the opportunity to win this competition, not to mention that they are not allowed to advance or retreat, and the pressure on them is naturally greater.ge.la?
Seeing that there was no objection from both sides, the bet contract was signed, and the rest of the forces present were witnesses, and then Gao Gao's face was gloomy, and he left without saying hello to anyone, on the contrary, Xiao Di talked very happily with everyone, and used this great opportunity to accumulate contacts.

After all, the trade preferential support given to him by Count Lankao is only two years, and after that, all the goods will have to be bought and sold by Shura to help him find another way, and at that time, he will definitely have to rely on the rest of the forces in the Black Wind Ridge, and everyone will communicate with each other, so it is definitely right to be familiar with each other now.
The party was held for a day before it dispersed, and Xiao Di secretly asked Tashan to quietly take the harvest to Baron Landry in exchange for supplies, and then immediately gathered all the high-level officials to discuss this gamble, that is, if the ghost castle was captured.
Tasha first introduced the main forces of the opponent Gundam here, aside from the fact that the Gundam itself is a waste, the combat power under his hands is still quite strong, including a ninth-order magic magician, and three eighth-order captains, and there are three hundred elite cavalry and seven hundred hoplites under his command, all of which are quite well-equipped, and as for those miscellaneous slaves, there are more than 2,000.
Maybe the team of the high-level combat power is worse than Gattuso and the Blake family, but the combat effectiveness of the team is not weak at all, after all, his subordinates are all regular troops under the command of Earl James, and their discipline, equipment, morale, and teamwork ability are far from being comparable to the rest of the forces, not to mention Xiao Di here, there are only more than 300 people under his command, although the equipment has been purchased a lot recently, it is still a grade worse than the full set of standard equipment customized by the other party.
Everyone expressed their opinions about this battle, Tasha suggested that while he had a lot of money in his hand, he should quickly recruit troops and expand his power, after all, more people are stronger; Henry suggested strengthening the training of the team, he felt that the soldiers were expensive but not too expensive, and now the three troops under their command were not skilled enough, if they could train well, the combat effectiveness would be greatly increased.
Liya, who usually doesn't say much, suggested that Xiao Di invest more money in alchemy, and prepare some alchemy drugs to come out, and the biggest gap between Xiao Di and the rest of the forces at this stage is actually this.
What they said actually made sense, Xiao Di asked the three of them to be in charge, Tasha tried to expand the team to five hundred, Henry went to train the current team, and Leah asked her to pick some nimble assistants to help her improve efficiency, and then Xiao Di also sent some people to keep an eye on Gundam them, and if they were going to send a large army to the ghost castle, they would report immediately.
Xiao Di himself planned to go to the Ghost Castle to explore the way first, and there was no one here who was more suitable for this matter than him, so the others had no objections.
Xiao Di went on the road after a little preparation, the ghost castle was only more than two hundred miles away from their base, Xiao Di was very convenient to move alone, and he had to bypass the dangerous places far away, so he rushed to the bottom of the hill where the ghost castle was located in less than a day.
There is only one road leading up the mountain, and on this road there is a small outpost with a sign posted at the door that reads:
There are monsters near this mountain that often haunt, pedestrians should take a detour, otherwise they will be responsible for accidents.
The Gasol family
Xiao Di bowed slightly, it seems that the Pau Gasol brothers are still good people, at least they know how to think about the local ordinary people, such a person is qualified to be a good lord, not just the kind of guy who uses military force to let the bottom be cannon fodder and fight everywhere, maybe let them rule the Black Wind Ridge in the future, and it is not a good choice for the locals, especially the people at the bottom.
When Xiao Di passed by the outpost, he saw that the two guards inside were chatting lazily, and everyone nearby knew that the ghost castle was powerful, so there were fewer and fewer people passing by here, and they often rarely met a person for a few days, so they were all happy.
I only heard the guard, who was a little taller and seemed to have a little bit of the Gasol family's Titan blood, said: "Old Seven, we haven't seen a living person for a week, right? This job is also a bit boring, and I don't know how the third brother can endure it for a year, and I'm going crazy for only three months." ”
Another guard with rough skin and faint blue obviously not pure blood smiled when he heard this: "Sixth, you are just too anxious, this place is really boring - but you have to think about the problem from a different angle, this also shows that this place is very safe, otherwise our Black Wind Ridge is not a safe place, and the thirteen forces are all fighting openly and secretly, not to mention that there are so many small forces, do you want to go to the front line to play for your life?"
The sixth said dissatisfiedly: "You are just too timid, so you have been in the team for so many years and you are only a ten-captain, you definitely have no hope of becoming a nobleman in this life, I am not the same as you, my old man also hopes that I can make more military achievements, so as to restore the past honor of our family, don't forget that my ancestor also has the bloodline of the Taita giant, the same as Lord Paul!"
Lao Qi spat disdainfully: "I've heard what you said eight hundred times, the things of your ancestors were hundreds of years ago, who knows how many points are true and how many are false, and at that time he was just a knight who didn't even have hereditary qualifications, and he could only barely get involved with the nobles, otherwise you can't inherit a position or something now, so don't brag."
If you really want to make meritorious contributions, it will not be easy, I heard that Paul and Master Mark have arranged for the two forces to exterminate all the undead monsters in this ghost castle this year at the spoils of the thirteen forces, and whoever wins will become one of the five major forces - this is a big war, as long as you join their team and make some contributions, it is not a trivial matter? I'm afraid you don't have the guts, hehe. ”
The sixth was surprised and delighted when he heard this: "Really? Is your news reliable? Sixth, the capture of the ghost castle is not a trivial matter, with the strength of our Gasol family, General Will was defeated last time, and he himself almost hung up, is the other forces stupid and dare to take this hot potato?"
Lao Qi said proudly: "This is what my fourth uncle's youngest son's cousin told me, he is Lord Paul's personal soldier, and he was also present that day, and the news is absolutely reliable." I heard that one of the two forces is the Gundam of the Kevin family, and the other is a newly established force - it is estimated that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, I estimate that their scouts will come here soon to explore the way, and when the time comes, you just need to take the initiative to tell him everything you know, and you will definitely be able to make a great achievement, and don't forget to bring your brother when the time comes, hahaha. ”
The sixth said angrily: "You come to make fun of me again, old seventh, I will be angry if you do this again, do you really think that the ghost castle is so easy to deal with? If that is the case, our boss Paul would have sent someone to take it down a long time ago, why give this good opportunity to others? Even if I tell them everything I know, they will succeed? Not to mention anything else, that enchantment alone can make them go back in disgrace." ”
At this time, a third person's voice suddenly came out of the room: "Is it? That's not for sure, then please trouble the two little brothers to tell me everything they know, I will never forget your benefits, and I will thank you when I bulldoze the ghost castle, hehehe." ”
The sixth and seventh were so startled that they immediately jumped up, their room was occupying the only avenue here, there was nothing nearby that blocked the view, it was completely clear at a glance, although the two of them had been chatting but their eyes did not take their eyes off the window, when did this person come in? How did he get in?
The only direction they didn't look at was on the hill where the ghost castle was located behind them, but although the undead monsters on the mountain were extremely fierce and unceremonious to anyone who dared to approach them, and the people who were attacked were often torn apart, their blood was drained, and their deaths were extremely miserable, but for some reason, they had hardly left the mountain for so many years.
In fact, the role of this outpost is only to warn people who are passing by unknowingly, and it is not at all to guard against the monsters of the ghost castle, otherwise with the ability of the sixth and seventh olds, even if they die more than eight times.
A trace of horror flashed in the hearts of the two of them, could it be that those undead monsters suddenly changed their habits and went down the mountain? Now it's over, the two of them are about to be used as sacrifices, the seventh subconsciously complained: "Sixth, all, all, it's all you, crow's mouth, why are you too boring here, and now you have summoned those monsters, you, you, you're not bored this time, are you? But our lives are about to die." ”
Thinking of the tragic situation of those people who were tortured and killed by the undead with his own eyes, Lao Qi couldn't speak neatly, and the performance of Lao Liu at the critical moment was much stronger than him, he didn't fight back but stirred up his Taita bloodline, only to see that his body suddenly grew in a circle, and his strength attribute also soared instantly.
At this time, they had time to see the new person in the room, and saw that it was not an undead monster at all, not even a low-level demon, it was completely a young man with a Sven language, and he also exuded the temperament of a high-ranking person that only high-level demons could have.
The person who came was naturally Xiao Di, seeing the panicked appearance of the two people before, Xiao Di couldn't help but smile and said: "Two little brothers, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, let alone an undead monster, I'm just like you, but I'm an upright demon." ”
