The battle between Pera and Manlin ended quickly, although they had two bodies, one was imprisoned for many days, and the other was wounded several times, but the gap in fighting spirit was too great, Manlin could face Amphi, but he couldn't face Simpera, after all, he was ashamed, under Simpera's ferocious attack, Manlin struggled for a moment, and was finally pierced through his chest by Simpera's giant sword. [No pop-up novel network]

Maybe it was to atone for his sins, maybe he was completely desperate, Manlin never counterattacked from beginning to end, despite his strength to counterattack, and despite the fact that Himpella's attack was completely defenseless, although fierce but full of flaws. Before he died, he glanced at Simpera with an apologetic gaze, and then looked blankly for Alice's figure, but unfortunately did not find it.

As soon as Manlin died, Moramachi Town quickly became calm, except for those who had been killed and a few mercenaries who resisted, almost half of the mercenaries of the Iron Blood Rose Mercenary Regiment chose to surrender, in fact, this is also a custom of mercenaries, there is no irreconcilable contradiction between them, and it is not a national hatred, in the case of the overall situation, there is really no need to choose sacrifice.

Anfei took over all the power as a matter of course, he used to manage a few hundred people at most, but now the number has expanded nearly tenfold, sweeping the battlefield, ordering people to carry corpses and bury them, dealing with the wounded, screening and demoting troops, awarding rewards to calm people's hearts, rearranging guards, and other miscellaneous things to deal with, making Anfei feel dizzy, even with the help of Chris and Brawe, he was busy until late at night to deal with everything.

Overheard Özgüch talk about how busy Alice was when she was managing Moramachi Town in the past, but Moramachi Town always runs very regularly, even if there is more Manlin, this unstable factor has not been affected much, Ozgucci's words reminded Anfei. He should have gone to meet Alice. When he first met Manlin, Alice asked him to kill Manlin immediately, but he reciprocated with suspicion, if it was someone else, he could explain it with a lie, but what kind of lie could hide from Alice? Moreover, in the future, Anfei has been undecided, whether to continue to trust Alice or gradually weaken Alice's influence. Even to treat Alice as an object in exchange for his own benefit, at least he must understand what Alice has been doing and thinking during this time before making a decision.

Led by Ozjuki, An Fei came to the courtyard where Alice lived, there were only two guards in the huge courtyard, judging from their demeanor, they should be the subordinates of Kumorogosha, and when they saw An Fei coming in, they did not step forward to stop them. Instead, he quietly stepped aside.

An Fei pondered for a moment, knocked on the door, and then waved his hand to Ozgüch, who slowly retreated with a slight chin of interest.

"Come in. Alice's crisp voice came from inside.

Anfei pushed the door open. Stepping into the room and closing the door, Alice's boudoir was very simple. A bed, a table, a chair, and a rough bookshelf with a few books scattered on it, and other than that, there was nothing, and An Fei was a little surprised, he felt that there should be at least a dressing table.

"You're here. Alice said softly, her expression was very indifferent, and it stands to reason that An Fei entered the door out of basic politeness. Or it is the defense of men and women, she should not continue to lie on the bed, although the tone of her voice is very polite. But compared to when An Fei first appeared, there was a lack of respect in her demeanor.

"Know I'm coming?" said Anfei naturally. I dragged the chair over and sat on it.

Alice was stunned for a moment, pondering for a moment, and then nodded silently.

"Do you have to think about this kind of question before you can answer it?" An Fei laughed.

"I've just learned a truth, woe comes from the mouth. ”

"Like...... You're not one of those who are afraid of getting into trouble, otherwise you wouldn't have made an announcement to summon mercenaries. ”

"I've made it very clear, I've just understood this, and if I had been given another chance to choose, I probably wouldn't have done that. Alice replied lukewarmly.

An Fei folded his arms around his chest, paused, and said slowly: "Alice, I know you, you know me, we are not willful people, so there is no need for this." ”

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

"You understand. An Fei smiled and said, "What do you want to prove with this kind of angry words? to prove that you are naïve and impulsive, or to remind me to feel guilty for misunderstandings?"

Alice fell silent.

"I think we need to talk openly and honestly, otherwise we will have more and more misunderstandings in the future, and even become enemies, tell me, why do you want to make a declaration?"

"Don't you think this is a rare opportunity?" Alice smiled: "The undead creatures threaten the entire continent, but the four major mercenary groups refuse to lend a helping hand to other mercenaries in order to protect themselves, and our announcement is enough to become a light in the dark night!

"It doesn't matter if it's first-class or second-rate. An Fei shrugged: "You should know the reason why the four major mercenary groups refuse to help other mercenaries, if there is enough food, they will fight and rush to win people's hearts!"

"I know. ”

"But what do we have? Where do you get food in this environment?" An Fei's expression turned cold: "Besides, how many mercenaries are there in the country of mercenaries? tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands? If these mercenaries all flock to Moramachi Town, what should you do?" If I didn't know your details, I really doubt that you are a necromancer, so many mercenaries have flocked to Moramachi Town, those necromancers don't need to attack, just surround for a while, we will start killing each other due to the shortage of supplies, you are doing this a great favor to the necromancer!"

Alice opened her small mouth in surprise, looked at An Fei for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "In some places, your ability is beyond doubt, and no one can compare with you, but in other places, I am indeed better than you." ”

An Fei was a little embarrassed, in fact, he was so jealous of Alice, precisely because he knew Alice's ability: "Don't interrupt, tell me, what do you think?"

"You think too highly of yourself, don't forget, so far, you are only a second-rate character, how many mercenaries do you think our land announcement will attract?

"Alice, watch your tone!" Anfei felt annoyed.

Alice was not afraid, and said slowly: "There are only four super mercenary groups in the country of mercenaries, and there are dozens of first-class mercenary groups, among them, there is only one Iron Rose mercenary group who is willing to come to Moramachi Town, and the others are really desperate second-rate mercenary groups." ”

"These people are enough to cause trouble, and if there are more refugees coming in, what are you going to do to feed them?"

"Moramachi isn't a place to house rice buckets, have you forgotten?

"What do you mean, examiner?"

"The undead creatures have taken control of the Hengduan Valley and have begun to infiltrate the land of the mercenaries, if you want to rush to Moramachi Town, you must clash with the undead creatures, survival of the fittest, the mercenaries who can get here alive are all experienced warriors, the unqualified people are almost dead, as for the refugees you mentioned, they can't get here at all. Alice said lightly: "Is it wrong to use the least price to win the greatest prestige for us, and also to enhance our strength?"

An Fei felt a chill in his heart, he seemed to see a group of mercenaries full of hope being besieged by undead creatures, I don't know what Alice's previous style of behavior was, since she suffered that tragedy, her personality has also changed, but An Fei has to admit that in this troubled world, people like Alice can live well.

"I calculated just now, there are almost two thousand mercenaries in the town, where does their food come from?"

"I'm ready and ready to handle it. ”

An Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Alice seriously, and Alice also looked at An Fei seriously, and after a while, An Fei sighed: "Okay, this matter will be talked about later, let's talk about Manlin, I'm very strange, people like Manlin shouldn't have fallen into the trap so easily, why would he believe in you so much? even at the expense of abandoning his partner!"

"He knows who I am. ”

"What?"

"Manlin has been to the Shining Sand Empire before. ”

"You've known each other before?"

"He knew me, but I don't remember him. ”

"Also, how could a dignified imperial princess be interested in a small mercenary group leader. An Fei smiled: "And then?"

Alice didn't seem to understand the ridicule in An Fei's words, and her expression did not move: "Then Manlin often deliberately looked for opportunities to contact me, he respected me very much, even more than Ozgucci and those people, in order not to disappoint him, I gradually gave him a part of the power. ”

"Don't you perceive his ambitions?"

"Manlin is a guy who doesn't know how to hide himself, and a lot of people know what he wants to do. Alice sighed slightly: "His ambition is nothing more than to expand his power in order to increase his bargaining chips in pursuit of me, which is not bad for me." ”

"But it's bad for me, don't forget, the town of Moramachi was given to you by me!"

"I thought you understood, that's why you came to me, who thought you still didn't understand. Alice smiled wryly for the first time.

"I'm waiting for your explanation. Anfei smiled nonchalantly. He is good at figuring out people's hearts, but this is limited to one person or a few people, once he raises things to a political perspective, he seems a little stretched, after all, he is only an assassin, not a politician, so his goal is to have an open and honest conversation with Alice and understand Alice's thoughts thoroughly.
