Chapter 312: Speculation
"Naturally, take it seriously!"
Ellie didn't show the slightest hesitation on her face, and her extremely affirmative tone made Wicks not suspect that Ellie was lying to herself, after all, as a work of the kingdom, it was only easy to interfere with the mercenary union of the Rain Country a little.
But!
The so-called high probability of coming back is only a high chance, and it does not mean that you can really come back from the City of the Dead safely, because only those who have really seen that place will know how terrifying it is.
But.
Since the princess dared to say so, she was at least one percent sure.
A person who doesn't want to give up anything will get nothing, even if there is only one percent hope, as long as he gets enough, then the mercenary can gamble his life, anyway, he has no more years to live.
However, the most important point is!
Wicks glanced at the people behind him, he really didn't have a few years to live, but this didn't mean that the young people behind him were willing to follow him to take risks, if everything went well, it was not a luxury for young people to see the Nightmare Mercenary Group advance to the first mercenary group in their lifetime, so life span is the most valuable wealth.
- Being young means having unlimited possibilities.
Based on this premise, Wicks finally decided not to take the commission, which is indeed too unfair to the young people behind him, as the head of the group, he must think about the collective, not patronize to realize his dreams.
Anyway, there is such a thing as honor, if you don't bring it in life or in death, you don't bring it with you.
After comforting himself, Wicks forced himself to pull himself up and said to Ellie, "Your Royal Highness, I'm really sorry, I think we decided to ...... anyway"
"Old man, what are you waiting for!"
A grinning voice interrupted Wicks' words, he stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness, we agreed to this commission, anyway, it's not to find an artifact, it's just to protect you to a place, it just happens that those fools can attract the attention of the undead, as long as we plan well, this is not a difficult thing." ”
"Hey, do you know what you're talking about?"
Wicks roared behind him: "Even if you plan well, the chance of coming back is less than one percent, you guys are playing with your life, give me a good look at myself before making plans." ”
"Hey, hey, leader, you're out!"
The young swordsman raised the big sword and said: "Don't underestimate the young man's bloody heart, is a life still called life if you don't take risks?" When I became a mercenary, I was ready to play over tomorrow, this time the commission will be followed anyway, if it is completed, I can brag about the members of my first mercenary group. ”
"yes, yes. The First Mercenary Regiment, hahaha!"
"Commander, what are you waiting for, don't you want to be the leader of the first mercenary regiment the most?"
Every word made Wicks' throat hot, and infinite emotion rose in his heart, how could he not understand that this was the obsession that every member of the group was helping him to complete his heart?
"You stinky boys who don't know the height of the sky!"
Wicks scolded with a smile: "Since you are willing to accompany me, an old man, into the earth, then of course I can't refuse you, so Your Royal Highness Princess, we have printed this commission!"
"Happy working together!"
Ellie smiled beautifully and performed a royal etiquette: "Please don't worry too much about tonight's action, we have prepared a complete map of the city of the dead, as well as a relatively safe route, as well as a way back to retreat, and even keep a trump card, entrusting you just in case, compared to the city of the dead, I think people's hearts are far more sinister than there are 100,000,000 times more sinister." ”
"How prepared you are this?"
Wicks instinctively believed Ellie's words, after all, there was no need for a princess to deceive them, and when they accepted the hiring, they were grasshoppers standing on a rope.
Meantime.
Weeks paid more attention to Ellie.
Even he didn't dare to imagine that Ellie would be able to get a complete map of the City of the Dead, and no one knew the horrors of that place better than him, let alone get the map, even if he looked at it, his life would be in danger.
"Cubs, get to work!"
After signing the contract of entrustment, Ellie's party and the members of the Nightmare Mercenary Group began to make plans for tonight, after all, the night time is not only dark and windy, but there are also a lot of bait to attract the attention of the undead tonight.
That's right.
For them, the mercenaries who don't know the height of the sky are the bait, and even a few minutes to attract the attention of the undead is precious to them.
"Now the question is. ”
Wicks looked at the map and pointed out, "Are we going with the crowd, or are we going to follow them all the way, and we don't know which route they're going from, what if they're going against ours?"
"Old man, it's not a problem!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Garion's mouth: "Please see clearly, this is the gate, according to your statement, the back of the first wall is covered with skeletons from gold to platinum, so of course it is impossible for a mercenary group with average strength to break through the first wall, but it can attract the attention of skeletons one hundred percent, I think this is the idea of the high-level mercenary group." ”
Garion pointed to the second wall: "In the second wall, there are bone dragons and all kinds of strange beasts that are incomparable to even the god level, but according to you, after a long time, the headless knight and the dried corpse in your mouth will come out of the third wall, that is, the lich, which is equivalent to pouring out of the nest." ”
"Wait!"
Wicks asked, puzzled, "How do you know it's a nest, and isn't there a more terrifying creature in the third wall besides these creatures?"
The two of them looked at each other, and Garion smiled: "Of course we know this, as long as the Headless Horseman and the Lich come out of the third wall, that is the best time for us to take the opportunity to enter it, as for the so-called route does not matter at all, no matter how perfect the route is, it is better for someone to use you as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the undead." ”
"If that's the case......"
"No ifs!"
Garion directly denied: "Since you have passed through the bone dragon and the lich with your own eyes, you will know that the bone dragon is a god-level existence, but it is only a line higher than the god-level, but the lich is completely crushing the god-level existence, can you still find a more powerful monster than this? If there is one, then I am afraid that it is a god!"
"Gods?!"
Wicks' pupils shrank, and for a moment he remembered the terrifying being sitting on the throne, and he was about to say it to Garian, but he saw that Garian suddenly stood up.
His immature face was full of calmness: "No one knows that place better than us, and there is natural cannon fodder, it can be said that the time and place are favorable, and we have occupied the people, place and people, and there is absolutely no invincible reason!"
It's obviously a childish child's voice, but it's unexpectedly trusting.
Wicks finally let go of the doubts in his heart, and said at the same time: "It seems that you have decided to follow each other into the City of the Dead, since this is the case, we should not wait for it to set off immediately?"
"That's right, without further ado!"
Garion replied, and then asked Ellie for instructions: "Your Highness Princess, since the plan is in place, we need to go to the City of the Dead to hide now, and wait for the arrival of those cannon fodder, if we go late, we will not be able to use them." ”
"Let's act!"
Ellie coldly gave an order, since she learned of Lin Bai's death, she completely sealed the weakness in her heart, in the eyes of outsiders, now she is a confident princess, anyone who wants to make her suffer must weigh her strength.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
The unpredictable is generally something that no one wants to provoke, because you never know if the other person is bluffing or confident.
Thereupon.
A few hours later, Ellie's party reached the walls of the City of the Dead, and hid their forms, waiting for the mercenaries to arrive.
Since they were on full throttle, they were naturally able to reach the City of the Dead before the mercenaries.
According to calculations, it would take about an hour for the mercenaries to arrive en masse, so Ellie took the opportunity to take a look at the city of the dead, after all, it was also the first time she had seen such a city.
Amazing.
Growing up in the royal capital, Ellie, who is accustomed to seeing the city, is amazed at the first sight of the city walls.
This kind of tall city wall, even the warrior professionals of the silver first order are powerless, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is no city in the entire southern region that can compare to this city of the undead.
That's not the point!
What really caught Ellie's attention was the inscription standing in front of the city gate.
- "The land of the dead, the living are not allowed to enter!"
The decaying stone tablet was inscribed with words poured out of blood, and it exuded a terrifying aura in the dark night all the time, and even the bright moonlight could not pierce the blood-red halo.
Just eight words are terrifying.
Ellie found it hard to believe that all of this was created by Lin Bai before he died, that he could create such a magnificent city, and even summon someone who could easily suppress the undead of a god-level professional would die under a sneak attack?
If it all comes from Lin Bai, then one thing is certain......
A faint glint flashed in Ellie's eyes, and she glanced at the busy three Garrians, and said in a voice that only she could hear, "One thing is for sure, the three of them must have lied!"
So what is the truth of the facts?
At this time, Ellie was also confused, although she suspected that the three of them were lying, but Ellie did not suspect that the three of them killed Lin Bai, if they couldn't even kill Lin Bai with a diamond order, could the three of them do it?
