Chapter 478: A Scenery Town Rising from the Ground

Using alchemy to quickly make a town set was the task given by Golden Brad to the two Elric brothers, there was absolutely no shortage of wood in the nearby forest, and the stone was also transported by the mountain giants, and under the alchemy of the two brothers, the elf-style town was quickly established.

Considering that it is necessary to lure the entire mercenary group to come to the whole town, it must be quite large, so in order to save time, the various buildings that the two brothers have made through alchemy are just an empty shell, such as the one that Alphonse has just built, which looks beautiful on the outside and is full of art, but as long as you walk in, you will find that it is empty inside, without any furniture and furnishings, and the interior is completely like a model made of cardboard.

"There are still some trees on the drawings that need to be planted. Alphonse looked at the blueprints and muttered.

Alphons' armor that has been restored is still the same as before, but this time Arlin has plated a layer of mythril on the surface of Al's armor, which can bring stronger magical protection to Al in the future.

Edward, who had already used alchemy to the point of some prostration, shouted dissatisfiedly: "Forget about those trees, anyway, it's just a set, there's no need to be so detailed." โ€

While the two brothers were busy using alchemy to create sets, some of the Snow Elf Ranger began to decorate the surrounding areas of the built buildings, as well as various traps in the rooms.

"Edward and Arjun, I'm here to help you!"

While the two brothers were busy, Major Alex walked over with Heatscliff and the others.

"Ah~ Major Alex!"

Al greeted politely, while Edward, who was a little tired and a little prostration, waved weakly at the Major.

"Looks like it's going to be fine. โ€

Ash observed the model town that had been built up quickly, then took out the map and pointed at it, saying, "Then we'll ambush the next group of men here, and attack them as soon as they enter." โ€

"What if the other side chooses to break through? There are more than 500 people in number, and there are only about 200 scouts and soldiers here combined. โ€

Heathcliff considered the difference in numbers between friend and foe. Even if the first wave can inflict heavy damage on the opponent, the opponent can still maintain the same strength as his own, and if the opponent desperately wants to break out, it is absolutely impossible to intercept them all. In the SAO game, Shizcliff also led several battles against the PK Red Guild Smile Coffin, and although it was attacked a few times, the major Raiders with the superior number were still able to fight against it.

"You're new here, and you probably don't know that any of the qiฤ“ in this forest is our ally, including this flying blizzard. Ash smiled and pointed to the sky.

Kim Bradley, who understands the power of Yalin, nodded, but also said cautiously: "But also make sure that no fish slip through the net." If these mercenaries are allowed to leave and spread the word about the forest, the Kingdom of Saxony will be under considerable diplomatic pressure, which His Excellency does not want to see, and we must make sure that this does not happen. โ€

"If you share some manpower, then the effect of the attack will also be reduced, and when the time comes, the other side may not retreat and rely on the numerical advantage to fight us directly. Ash was opposed to the transfer of the already small number of troops.

"Can you ask Arin for some more reinforcements, I don't know what kind of strength the mages in this world have, whether they can use spells like teleportation in games and novels. โ€

Heathcliff's words made Kim Bradley nod and said, "Well said, this should be taken into accountโ”‰โ”‰"

Twenty minutes later. Four mages and a white dragon guard were brought from the city of Ulduar, and the five men were given to the additional Arin, but if the strength of the dragon is calculated, the white dragon guard alone is enough to fight all the mercenaries. However, in this way, Yalin could not test the training of the army, so the task of the White Dragon Guards was only to be responsible for breaking off and intercepting.

Since there is no need to worry about interception anymore, Ash and the others can devote all their energy to ambushing, and if possible, it is best to directly defeat this mercenary force in an ambush. To this end, the elven mages have set up a large number of triggered frost circles in the set town. At the same time, with the alchemical power of Major Alex and the two brothers, a tunnel was built around the town to hide the ambushes. When the Qiฤ“ arrangement was complete, the Ice Blade Shooter and Ranger quickly hid in the forests around the town, and the Minotaur warriors began to familiarize themselves with the structure of the tunnels and made final preparations for tomorrow's battle.

Just when everyone was busy. After finishing his work, Edward was sitting on a stone bench next to him, drinking hot drinks and resting, watching a group of people holding a map and pointing at some unclear words such as ambush, interception, heavy damage, etc., Edward finally heard from an elf that there would be a battle against slave traders and mercenaries here tomorrow, and Little Bean immediately came to his senses and wanted to participate. However, this mention was immediately dismissed by Ash and Major Alex on the simple grounds that children should not participate in such a bloody war.

"Why can this guy participate?" shouted Edward, who was angry, as he glanced at the Flying Shadow, who was also munching on bread and drinking juice. Isn't this guy in a black trench coat with a hedgehog head a child different?

The inexplicable Flying Shadow glanced at Edward very unpleasantly, and then the Flying Shadow suddenly walked up to Edward as if he had discovered a new world, and then compared his hand to the top of his head in Little Douzi's 'What do you want to do' eyes. Then, in Edward's eyes, which blushed as if he had been greatly insulted, and were almost furious, the corners of Feiying's mouth curled up slightly, and he whistled and left.

"Bastard!!What do you mean by that look just now? I'll kill you!!"

If the little bean that was directly fried by the Flying Shadow was not tightly grasped by Alphonse, it is estimated that he would have rushed directly to fight with the Flying Shadow for 300 rounds.

"Okay, brother~ Don't be angry. We're done here, so let's go back to the city. โ€

Alphonse took Edward under his arm and walked backwards, until far away they could faintly hear resentful words such as 'what's arrogant to be taller than me' and 'you face crippled hedgehog head'.

After the two brothers left, Heathcliff shook his head with a smile and said, "What an interesting two brothers. โ€

"Aren't they! The two of them are living treasures in the city of Ulduar. Ash chuckled as well, and then continued to focus on the map.

While the Frost and Snow Elves were preparing for the mercenaries' arrival, the mercenaries gathered in the Saxon Kingdom town of Belica also prepared sufficient supplies and began to enjoy a hot meal, and then the mercenary group set off for the Misty Forest. Because of the mutated crack-toothed wolf and various rare mutated medicinal materials in the Misty Forest, there are many poachers and smugglers gathered near the town of Belica, plus the merchants who come to buy medicinal materials and animals, the whole town has been greatly expanded under the behest of the royal family, and now the town of a few thousand people in the past has quickly become a large town with a population of more than 10,000 in a very short period of time, or the population of the Kingdom of Saxony is calculated, and the town of Belica is already qualified to be named a 'city'.

Due to the assembly of mercenaries, the security team and militia in the town are not enough, and the garrison of the nearby Belica Fortress was also ordered to monitor the mercenary group stationed outside the city, although the arrival of the mercenary group brought a lot of extra income to the residents of Belica Town, but there are still many townspeople and soldiers who are a little dissatisfied in their hearts, after all, it is a humiliation for many Saxons to be sent to a sovereign country by mercenaries from a self-made city like this, although it is temporary.

Prince Rost, in particular, was most disgusted by this situation!

It can be seen from the fact that after the mercenary group and the slave catchers arrived in Belica, all the negotiations were left to Prince Rost to be handled by other officials, and the prince was very disgusted with situations like this, and his country was like a restaurant, where people could enter and leave as they wanted. Why can these slave traders come here as they want to plunder the resources that belong to the Kingdom of Saxony! The so-called remnants of fugitive elves are even more rotten in the Misty Forest, and Prince Rost knows very well that these slave traders are simply coming for the silver-haired elves who are servants of the old gods in the Misty Forest.

These fat-gutled and greedy slave traders are really a bunch of disgusting garbage, and they never have humanity and conscience in their heads, only profit and money.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the affairs officer in the town has sent a message that the Eagle Mercenary Group stationed there has set off, and together with the private slave capture team of the slave traders, there are about 500 people, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the outskirts of the Misty Forest tonight. One of the guards reported with the news he had just received.

Rost nodded and signaled the other party to retreat, the mercenary group of more than five hundred people plus the slave hunting team is not much, just the garrison of the Belica Fortress can easily eliminate them, but the diplomatic pressure of the Free City afterwards is definitely not something that the Saxon Kingdom can bear. It was only the Lawrence royal family who managed to send him away, and could not create an excuse for the Free City to interfere more until the mines began to be put into normal production.

His heart sank, and Rost knew very well that the royal family had to continue to endure for a while, and the only thing he hoped for now was that the old gods would better kill all these mercenaries and slave traders. (To be continued......) R1292
