Chapter 485: A Change of Status
Maybe it's because Anfei has always given people the impression of being invincible and invincible, and when Alice conveyed the goal of her next move, the mercenaries' emotions immediately became high, and they didn't have any fear or worry, they didn't think that the Tiger of Tao could pose any threat to the big alliance. γReading.comγ
Of course, the leaders of the big leagues can't be as blindly optimistic as ordinary mercenaries, Alice, Chrissy and others sat in the conference room to discuss the next plan, and when everyone was talking, An Fei pushed open the door and walked in.
At the beginning of the meeting, An Fei was also present at the meeting, but halfway through, Black Eleven came to find him out.
"What's wrong?" asked Chrisgil, looking up.
"Something happened to Violet City. β
"What?" everyone pricked up their ears together, Violet City was a strange place for OzgΓΌch, Himpella and the others, but Chris Ling and the others had a deep impression of Violet City, which was Anfei's fiefdom after all.
"Sheriff Ert is missing, but luckily with the old city lords Aroben and Nia in charge, they didn't fall into chaos. β
"How could Utter disappear for no apparent reason......?
"Probably not. An Fei shook his head, he knew in his heart that Erte must have had a problem in the underground maze, but he had no way to go back now, let alone tell others about the existence of the underground maze and let others save Erte.
An Fei has been exposed to a lot of secrets about the necromancer. Minos I's retreat before his death was in Violet City, so the underground labyrinth must have a connection with Minos, how could he tell such a secret to others?!
It's not a matter of trusting or believing, but there are some things that must and can only be in one's own hands! One more person knows, one more element of surprise!
"Then how did he suddenly disappear?" asked Christing, "Anfei." Did you give him something important and ...... He betrayed you?"
An Fei shook his head again: "Impossible. β
Edt knows the secret of the underground labyrinth, but Suzanne doesn't know, this is not to say that Anfei trusts Erte more than trusts Susanna, the underground labyrinth is Erte's first appearance, Anfei can hide the secret, but he can't kill people in order to hide it, although his heart is very cold, but it is not poisonous to that extent. What's more, Ert is a man of affection and righteousness. Just look at his attitude towards the old city lord, he is also loyal to An Fei, and his ability to do things is very outstanding, if such a person will also betray, no wonder others can only blame themselves for being blind.
"It can't be, that's not possible. Anfei: Why do you think he disappeared?"
"Don't talk about it, we can't go back anyway, it's in vain. An Fei smiled wryly.
Seeing that An Fei didn't want to talk about it anymore, Alice changed the topic very understandingly: "An Fei, everyone disagrees with your plan! When you attacked White Mountain City, you were reckless and risky, and you almost had an accident, and now you want to attack Blackwater City, and you and Suzanne will go to investigate the situation first." It's absolutely not going to work!"
"Yes, Anfei is not necessary!" "Our current number of mercenaries has exceeded 20,000, and Anthony and David led the Glory Mercenary Group to help, Marshal Beeri also allocated more than 20,000 to us, the soldiers of the Shield of Light Legion, Manjusli and the Tiger of Theo are not our opponents at all, we just need to attack head-on." β
"White Mountain City is not the same as Blackwater City. Anfei explained softly, "I admit that at that time, I wanted to assassinate the archmage Mike first and solve our henchmen's troubles, which was indeed a bit risky. But if you think about it, what kind of warriors are the enemies in Blackwater? Whether it's a druid or an elf, unleashing natural magic on me is tantamount to killing myself! I can undo their magic as I want, and even control their magic to attack them, if it's just close to hand-to-hand combat. Do you think they might be able to stop me?"
"Amphi. We all recognize your strength, but it's not necessary!"
"It is necessary. An Fei said slowly: "Don't talk about us. Even Lord Beeri is unable to understand the situation in Blackwater, which is said to be firmly controlled by druids and elves, making it difficult for outsiders to blend in. But what about us? Will they not understand our situation, know themselves and know the enemy, so that they can win all battles, and now Manchusli has done it, have we done it?"
"By the way, let Long and Ling go, they are druids in the first place, and they should be able to blend in easily. β
"It's no secret that Long and Lingdi's identity is no longer a secret, how many mercenaries have seen them in the big alliance?" An Fei shook his head and said: "We can't guarantee that every mercenary is loyal, it is even more dangerous for Long and Ling to go, maybe they will never come back after entering Blackwater City." β
Chris Ling and the others looked at each other, and the upper echelons of the big league were actually very democratic, and everyone was qualified to express their own opinions and insist on their own opinions. But for a long time, everyone has also developed a habit of trusting and obeying An Fei's will, not to mention the personality cult craze deliberately set off by Alice, which has also had a certain impact on them, just like a person who repeats a lie a hundred times and believes it to be true, once An Fei shows a persistent attitude, he will always be unanimously recognized.
"Forget it, it's up to you. Chris smiled wryly, "When are we coming out?"
"The sooner the better. β
"It can't be too fast. Alice said softly, "At least until the North Map Lions Gate makes a decision." β
"Lionsgate?"
"Well, although the Northern Chart Lions Gate has always leaned towards us, they are still a little hesitant...... Now that our decisive battle with the Tiger of Theo is about to explode, can he continue to hesitate?What's the point of deciding when the outcome is decided?" Alice smiled, "I guess...... It's just two or three days. β
"Sooner or later, Lionsgate is a nuisance. Hui Wei frowned and said: "Your Majesty has already canonized two dukes in the country of mercenaries, do you want to canonize the third? In terms of getting close to His Excellency Marino, he moved closer to the Ma Empire a long time ago, in terms of strength, the Wind and Thunder Mercenary Regiment is not as good as the Glory Mercenary Group, and the North Tu Lion Gate is not as good as Anthony, why did he become a duke? But if he is not allowed to be a duke, he will definitely not accept it in his heart, so I say that sooner or later he will be in trouble." β
"There's another thing that Lionsgate can't compare to Anthony. An Fei said softly: "After the canonization ceremony, Anthony is no longer the leader of the Glory Mercenary Group, and handed over the mercenary group to David Anthony, which is laying the foundation for the future merger, and also shows an attitude, can he give up his control over the mercenary group like His Excellency Marino, can Beitu Lion Gate be willing to give up?"
"What will happen in the future is not something we can decide. Alice smiled: "But from the point of view, it will be of great benefit to us to win over the North Chart Lion Gate, not only with one less enemy, but also with more strength. β
"I'll leave the matter of dealing with Beitu Lionsgate to you, and I won't interfere. An Fei said: "And Alice, you should also prepare, and when we go out of the ground, you will also go with us." "The last time they went to White Mountain City, they let Alice stay in Storm Castle because there were still a lot of new mercenary families to settle down, and now those families are still in Storm Castle, Alice stays here with nothing to do, besides, An Fei is worried that she will encounter another accident, so it is better to take it with her.
"Hmm. Alice nodded: "But...... It's a bit inappropriate for me to talk to Lions Gate myself, when you're the chief, and if you don't show up, it will give Lions Gate a feeling of not being taken seriously. β
"Isn't it important for my Archon Xi to receive him personally?" An Fei said with a smile.
Many times, when people's status changes, there will always be a strange feeling, if as early as a year ago, when An Fei and Chris Ling first came to the country of mercenaries, they wanted to meet with the number one person of the Wind and Thunder Mercenary Group, Beitu Lion Gate, Beitu Lion Gate would not take care of them at all, and now the situation is completely reversed, it is An Fei who does not want to deal with Beitu Lion Gate. Strictly speaking, it is a little late for Beitu Lions to join the big leagues now, even before An Fei occupies White Mountain City, Beitu Lions Gate resolutely decides to join, and he will receive special courtesy, if he has been delayed until An Fei and the Tiger of Theo mercenaries have a victory, and then come to the door to ask for a meeting, no matter how sincere his attitude is, not to mention that An Fei may not even pay attention to Alice.
"It's basic courtesy. Alice smiled wryly.
"Okay, then I'll see. An Fei glanced around: "Let's go here today, let's go back and hurry up to do training, Alice, you leave me with some things to talk to you about alone." β
An Fei said two words alone, everyone had the eyesight to get up and leave the conference room, but Alice felt her heart pounding like a fawn, and couldn't help but ask timidly, "What's the matter?"
Alice overestimated An Fei too much, if An Fei wanted to say something ambiguous, would she dare to let everyone leave the conference room generously? Among them, Susanna! With An Fei's attitude towards the world, even if he honed it for more than ten years, he might not be able to have such a strong psychological quality.
"Your Majesty wants to borrow the dungeon for the time being. An Fei took out half a crystal from the spatial ring, which seemed to have been broken by someone, and the section was uneven: "You let a few dwarves take the crystal back to Moramachi Town, as long as someone can bring another crystal over, the two pieces are completely matched, let them in." β
"How did Your Majesty know that there is a dungeon?, and what are you borrowing a dungeon?" asked Alice, surprised.
"I guess that kid said it, as for what to do...... How do I know?"
