511 Book Council
The Falcon Slayer is an armed group that Midali says alone, and her ability to speak up in the military is comparable to that of the Fool Store Manager in a board game store, but that doesn't mean that her ideas won't be refuted.
In order to gather the five enemy forces together in one go, and let the Gray Witch kill the guy with AOE magic in one go, Midali decided to disperse her own forces into five ways and pretend to escape, but in fact led them into an ambush circle.
It was not early now, and the Falcon-Killing troops had breakfast and directly uprooted the camp, lost most of their baggage, and entered a state of retreat.
The Hundred Captains and the captains of each faction are strengthening their subordinates with a strengthened magic array, and the horn of the camp is blowing loudly, in order to let the enemy spies lurking nearby know that they have to make a move on their side and give their troops some time to respond.
Although the commander of the thousand people had given an order to his subordinates to hurry up and work, he did not agree with the plan of his own army commander.
A thousand-person elder who had followed Midalie's father since he was a child and watched Midali grow up frowned and asked puzzledly: "I said Midalie, are you really sure that your friend is capable of dealing with the 50,000 army gathered in one place?"
Midali had already told them that if you could get the enemy together, your friends would be able to destroy them in one fell swoop. However, the mercenary thing has been fighting a lifetime of breaking down one by one, and the strategy of guerrilla warfare has always been about the individual and bullying the less, and I have not heard of the saying that the enemy can only be solved when they come together.
In order to prevent Midali's men from wasting time on such issues, the Grey Witch decisively stood up behind her, patted her chest and said that she was a magician, and then casually summoned a black shadow on the ground.
"Wow, you know how to summon shadows by yourself now?" Zhou Shu was amazed when he saw it, he remembered when he first met the Gray Witch. This guy can't do that.
The Gray Witch shrugged, "I would, but it's a waste of magic out of nothing, and now I'm full of magic, and it's useless to use it." β
It is indeed unusual for a thousand people to say that a shadow without an owner appears out of thin air, but what is the use of that?
The Grey Witch snapped her fingers. Then a black monster emerged from the shadows on the ground, with sharp claws on its thick arms, a rhinoceros-like horn on its head, and three tails on its ass that opened its mouth like snakes.
"I have a lot of this kind of monster. The Grey Witch said that she could use these monsters and some other spells to deal with the enemy.
"I'm sorry. One of the thousand men drew his saber and stepped into the shadows, standing face to face with the monster. "Can I play?"
This guy is a new commander of thousands of people who has recently enlisted in the army after the expansion of the Eagle Slayer, and he is very strong and eager to show himself.
The rank of the mercenary group basically only relies on strength. Military merit can only increase prestige, and will not allow a person who lacks combat effectiveness but has outstanding military achievements to advance.
The disadvantages of this kind of promotion method are very strict, and it is completely unsuitable for the official army. Without a good way to ascend, soldiers will lose their enterprising spirit.
But for mercenaries who only love money, this kind of thing is okay.
The new thousand-man captain who is standing up now likes Midali a little bit, and wants to show himself by accumulating military merits to gain the favor of this eldest lady, so he stands up.
"It's the point. This guy grinned very brightly, and first found his way out. Face the magic of the magician. He didn't want to be beaten all over the floor.
"I shouldn't be able to beat you...... But you can try. β
The Gray Witch just casually took out an ordinary shadow creature, and her combat effectiveness was very average. This thing is popular among shadow mages. The main thing is that he has a good IQ, and he can help do a lot of work, make a coffee and sweep the floor or something, and of course he can also use it to fight, but the intensity is definitely not high.
Now the Grey Witch has a state-of-the-art magic missile in her pocket, just to get a license to hold this dangerous item. Let her spend all the favors she has accumulated in the wizarding world.
As long as this thing doesn't touch the undead, even if he is Ultraman and Godzilla, as long as it is activated, it can be killed in one move, and it is a prop she uses to defend herself.
In the face of the shadow creatures, a thousand people slashed away with a sword. The sword swings faster than the speed of sound, causing an air explosion, directly cutting off the head of the shadow creature.
Shadow creatures are not real creatures, but rather psychic creatures that can manipulate shadows to give shadow entities and inhabit them.
To put it simply, the monster is now just a puppet, a puppet controlled by real shadow creatures. The puppet's head is off, and as long as the person pulling the puppet string on it doesn't die, the puppet can still move.
The thousand-man sword was extremely fast, but it was quickly bitten by the monster's three serpentine tails. The other party is the kind of martial artist who pays attention to killing with one blow, and he is not very good at grappling, and the shadow is his nemesis, and he decisively admits defeat.
"You can trust me now, right?" Midali breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that the Grey Witch wouldn't be able to convince the gang.
After determining the feasibility of the plan, the Falcon-Killer army sped up its preparations, and soon left behind a mess and a large pile of uncarriable items, ready to escape.
Meanwhile, in the castle of White Moon City, the sick princess was speaking at the regular royal court meeting.
"With regard to the mounting debts, I advocate the sale of the royal family's rights and repayment of them. β
The sick princess, dressed in her own princess dress and dressed in white, expounded her views in front of a gorgeous long table to the nobles of the council who gathered around the table.
She sat on the throne, opposite the old but energetic Prime Minister. Without waiting for the sick princess to finish speaking, the prime minister immediately raised his hand impolitely in opposition, "Your Highness, does the royal family still have any rights to sell?"
"Absolutely. The sick princess cleared her throat, tapped her fingers on the thick dictionary-like ledger in front of her, and said, "We can sell the 'military expansion power', Prime Minister, don't interject yet, you haven't heard this word because she is what I just thought of." Lieges outside the border can now only have two armies per city. I'm in favor of opening up that authority, and if anyone is willing to pay for it, I can allow him to form an army or two more. β
After saying this, the sick princess looked at the attendees who had gathered around the table. These people have interests in the locality, and some are lords with armies. They have an urgent need to expand their army.
The Zai was dismissive of this, as if the grandfather had heard that his granddaughter wanted the moon reflected in the river, and he smiled kindly.
"Your Highness, are you serious?"
Giving the liege the right to expand his army is likely to threaten the rule of the Flemish royal family. What if a lord rebels? The royal council knows what happened in the Lantern area before.
The lantern bearers secretly formed a private army that exceeded the formation, which cost them a lot of money and time. If they can blatantly expand the army. Maybe he has already got the full wings to fight with the royal family.
The sick princess naturally had her own plans to mention yì like this, she didn't wait for the prime minister to be sarcastic, and casually grabbed a machine gun brought back from the first world from the space props and mounted it on the table, which was borrowed from the Fool store manager. The sick princess came back with a lot of first-world specialties after the Forbidden Demon Event, and now she basically has an arsenal in her pocket.
She fiddled for a moment, then pointed her gun at the ceiling and fired without hesitation.
Suddenly, a palpitating noise and the terrible smell of gunpowder smoke resounded in the conference hall. The lavish decorations on the ceiling were swept down by large swaths of machine-gun bullets. It turned into rubble, and the roof was suddenly opened.
Although the group of old foxes attending the meeting didn't know what the sick princess was doing, they knew very well that this woman wanted to use guΓ² to deter herself and give her side a disadvantage. They weren't the kind of people who would be scared, but they knew the lethality of the objects on the table.
Even if thirty archers attacked the ceiling in unison, it would not do any better than this noisy machine.
When the sick princess saw a group of old foxes staring at her with natural expressions, she was very unhappy and stopped shooting. She casually pointed her gun at the prime minister. Jean later explained to him: "My personal expert developed this weapon, called a machine gun. If you're interested, I can give you a few. I am sure that with the help of this weapon, the restriction of one city, two armies is no longer important. β
Her words were very clear, as long as they were armed with this thing, it didn't matter how many enemies there were, so the lord could be allowed to expand his army.
The sick princess only has a few machine guns in her pocket, and it is not an independent research and development as she claims. Naturally, it is impossible to imitate manufacturing, let alone arm the army. But the people of the royal council did not know the truth, and the sick princess disappeared for several months, and she did not give a credible explanation for her whereabouts. Now she is suspicious, making herself look powerful and mysterious. You'll be safer that way.
"What about the possibility of imitation?" the prime minister quickly grasped the point of the problem. However, when he asked about this sentence, it was also equivalent to admitting the policy of selling and expanding military rights.
The sick princess laughed and asked a lord beside her to help and put the machine gun in the prime minister's hands. The prime minister looked up and down for a while, did not speak, and waited for the princess's answer.
"This is for you, Prime Minister, if you are interested, you can order someone to imitate it. I bet the art of making machine guns won't pass on from me. β
The prime minister was now annoyed by the suppression of language, and as a courtier, he could not be accused of lying to the sick princess, so he could only refute it on the premise that her words were true. But if what she says is true, then it really doesn't matter if you sell some rights, even if it's to expand military rights.
No, he decided to take a little risk and question the truth of Her Royal Highness's words, of course, in a more tactful way.
"Your Highness, I don't know if this weapon has actual results that can be used for reference?"
As soon as the prime minister said this, several lords immediately heard this guy's disrespect, and also heard that he was not ready to agree to the proposal to sell the expansion of the army. They are all honest and law-abiding lords, but they have been harassed by bandits, road bandits, and some strange resistance groups, and they have long wanted to expand their army.
The sick princess's proposal basically pulled this group of people to her side. When these lords heard the prime minister questioning the sick princess, they immediately stood up to refute it.
"Prime Minister, you have seen the lethality of this weapon just now, I think you should have this judgment, and you don't need to actually pull out thousands of lives to verify their effectiveness, right?"
The sick princess was not angry at all, she was a little happy to see that the topic had turned here.
"This ...... Not in actual combat, but I gave a few machine guns to the commander of the Falcon Mercenary Legion, just before they headed to the New Lands in the south to quell the rebellion. I believe that as long as we wait a few more days, we may be able to get the actual combat number of these weapons. β
As soon as she said this, she said. The Prime Minister's face instantly became gloomy, and several other lords looked at the Prime Minister with embarrassed or gloating expressions.
The work of clearing the falcon slayer was carried out in the privacy of the sick princess, and for such a small activity, several important people in the council could be carried out on their own, and there was no need to submit a bill by means of a general meeting. These people with different expressions. All of them are lords who have participated in the proposal against the Falcon Slayer.
Naturally, the sick princess didn't give Midali anything, but she believed that if the Grey Witch went, she would definitely do much more damage to the enemy than the machine gun.
The prime minister's cultivation is really good, and he has already noticed this ill-intentioned statement of the princess, and this woman seems to have learned something.
If this weapon is really armed among the falcons......
The Prime Minister is not sure for the time being, but this thing can cause problems in the mission of clearing out the Falcon, but it cannot be denied that it is possible. The ill-intentioned smile of the sick princess when she spoke made the prime minister very worried. He didn't want to think about that somewhat terrifying possibility.
"Your Highness, it's better not to give away this weapon casually, okay?"
The sick princess pretended to be puzzled and took out all the machine guns from the space props, "However, I brought these today, and I am going to share them with you." β
The lords and nobles glanced at the prime minister and said secretly, "The old ghost is troublesome. β
Now that you have received a gift from Your Highness, you will start to prevent others from taking advantage of it, and only you will be able to make imitations. Do we all have to look at the greed?
The prime minister's words were a little inconsiderate, which caused the lord's dissatisfaction. Several people directly objected, arguing that Her Royal Highness had the right to dispose of her own private property. If you want to talk about powerful weapons, who doesn't have a few swords made by the Iron Princess? The sword in the Knight King's hand is also made by the Iron Princess.
Is there any difference between a sword and a machine gun, and why can the Iron Princess give it away, the Knight King can receive it, but the Sick Princess can't give it to the Eagle Slayer?
The prime minister knew that these guys were a little sweet and wanted to be a wall grass, so he decisively chose not to quarrel with them. He was a little flustered right now. I always feel that something bad is going to happen......
The Hawk Slayer camp opened, and Zhou Shu found an unobstructed place to chat with Midali and the Gray Witch, watching a group of soldiers busy.
The plan was to be carried out after dinner, and the temperature was not suitable for running. Cavalry is not popular in the army of the White Moon Country, so even if it is a great escape. Basically, you can only rely on your legs.
The three of them were bored about lunch, and a mercenary with a girl approached Midali's side. "Well, Legion Commander, what should this friend of yours do?"
Zhou Shu glanced at it and was directly speechless, the mercenary was holding Ida. Ada, dressed in dirty patched clothes, doesn't look like the kind of person who can be friends with Midali.
Midali and the Grey Witch looked at Zhou Shu together, their eyes were complicated, as if to say, 'Look at the trouble you've caused. β
After yesterday's night, Zhou Shu felt that Ida was still quite cute, and she was very competent as a little slave.
"No one can take her to action?" Zhou Shuhan said.
Midali pointed to the surplus supplies that her camp had thrown on the ground, and the food, carts, and weapons that she couldn't take with her were piled up, "Do you think I have the strength to take her with me?"
Zhou Shu also didn't let Midali take out a team of people to escort the slaves he bought, and he suddenly fell into a dilemma.
"Otherwise, I'll take it with you. "Gray Witch Tiyì, fly with me, no problem.
Zhou Shu was a little worried that this guy would throw this guy who was not clear with himself from the sky out of friendship with the sick princess. But now it's okay, either give it to the Grey Witch or send her back to Berry Town.
The old man looked at Ada up and down a little with a little squint, and some were reluctant, so he decided that it would be better for the gray witch to take it. Zhou Shu felt that as an adult, he couldn't use it when he needed it, and treat it as a trouble when he didn't need it, right?
In this way, after a day of tossing and turning the people of the Falcon Man, the plan was ready to be implemented.
Midali thought that after preparing for so long, the five enemy armies blocking the way in front of her must be ready to intercept her.
Now I am afraid that the enemy will underestimate him and will not take it seriously, and if the other party is unwilling to use all his strength to chase after him, and only sends a small force to chase after him, it will be fatal.
There are only two people in the Gray Witch and Zhou Shu, and the main combat power is only one Gray Witch, and if the enemy is too scattered, they will not be able to solve them quickly. If these guys go into hiding, the Falcon Killer will probably encounter a lot of trouble along the way.
They had now discarded all their baggage, and the rations each person carried would not last long. If you are harassed in such a situation, the march will become very difficult.
"God, bless those souls who stand in your way, and you must kill us all!" Midali said to the god of the sky, for the first time in her life.
Zhou Shu, on the other hand, had already introduced to Ada what she was going to do in a while as a nonsensical magician. It's very simple, she just needs to be carried by the gray witch to fly in the sky, and she will be suspicious. Of course, it is impossible for her to observe the whole process from a bird's-eye view of this scene of killing 50,000 people in one shot. So he told Ida to close his eyes during the flight process, if he dared to open his eyes to see......
"If you dare to open your eyes, I will dare to sell you to the mountains as a daughter-in-law for a fool!" (To be continued......)
