Chapter 174: Diverging Paths
The Corps withdrew from the town of Moramachi overnight and the town returned to its peaceful appearance. It's a pity that people don't have a thousand days of good flowers, and they only live a peaceful life for a few days, and the people who were sent out to buy raw materials for Hagen brought back a shocking news, and the Glory Mercenary Group and the Tiger Mercenary Group of Tao broke out into a large-scale conflict, and of course, the send-off team of the Shining Sand Empire and the condolence group of the Alison Empire were also implicated.
In the country of mercenaries, the mercenaries who complained about the inaction of the four major mercenary groups were not the only ones who complained about Ozgüch, the grand alliance he organized gave enlightenment to other mercenary groups, and before and after that, six mercenary alliances were born, and nearly 4,000 mercenaries rushed to the Hengduan Mountains, and the soldiers of the Shining Sand Empire became rats that everyone shouted and beat here! These mercenary alliances all hope to expand their momentum in order to occupy the position of leader in the future, but what can make their momentum bigger and bigger? Victory! And the blood of the enemy! In this form, the operations of the mercenary group have become more elaborate and the methods have become more vicious.
Not to mention that the baggage team, even the size of the regular army was also attacked by the mercenaries, if in the open plain, the mercenaries might not be the opponent of the same number of regular troops, but in the mountains, the mercenaries' attacks were as invincible as poisonous snakes! The attrition and number of soldiers in the Flash Sand Empire had reached an astonishing level.
In view of the chaotic situation in the land of mercenaries, in view of the chaotic situation in the land of mercenaries, Mioririch, the golden knight of the Mao Empire, has led the Praetorian Guard to the city of Blacknia, making their victory far away, and in view of the sudden outbreak of large-scale rebellion in the eastern coastal region, Edward VIII of the Sand Empire finally put away his stubbornness and decided to start gradually withdrawing troops from the Ma Empire.
This was great news for Yoland, King of the Maao Empire, which greatly relieved the pressure and allowed him to move his plans. A few days ago, An Fei had already confessed in front of Özgüch that it was he who led the mercenary group to completely annihilate the griffin flying squadron, and the knights who followed the Gumoro Gosha that day also knew the truth, and this news spread very quickly in the mercenary country and the Shining Sand Empire, and the newly established Alibaba mercenary group has become a legendary mercenary group. Sometimes, it is really not a good thing to have a great reputation, and An Fei has the confidence to resist the attack of a thousand people, but according to the news, the first batch of troops retreating from the Shining Sand Empire has 30,000 people, and they are still the elite of the elite, will they avenge the griffin flying squadron by the way?
After getting the news, An Fei and the others sat around the entrance of the main cave, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy, just a few days ago, they also scared away some mercenaries with bad intentions and successfully protected their station, and now there is a situation again, it is really a disaster! And this time the pressure is much greater than the previous one!
To add insult to injury, Black Eleven's men were attacked by a strange mercenary on their way to Moramachi Town, and most of the raw materials they had purchased for Hagen were lost, and only two of the six escaped alive!
Perhaps most of the mercenaries are still thinking about contributing to the country, and they also rushed to the Hengduan Mountains for this, but unfortunately, the upper leaders of the mercenary group are making their own small calculations! Since the establishment of the mercenary country, this is the only and best opportunity to challenge the fourth-level mercenary group! As long as we can find ways to make the other alliances disappear and reabsorb and reorganize the other party's manpower, then the mercenary group in power in the future will inevitably become the five major mercenary groups! This dream is enough to make the brains of each alliance boil.
Therefore, there is constant friction between the various mercenary groups and alliances, spies are moving around, you are lobbying my people to change their ways, I am stabbing you in the back with your instigating people, the situation is chaotic, and even some alliances have arranged people to ambush other mercenaries, in the vast and uninhabited death forest and wild grassland, they have done similar things, and now they are just returning to their old business! The only difference is that this time they are more ruthless, all for the future! Of course, there were only a few mercenaries who did this, otherwise they would not have been able to put a lot of pressure on the supply lines of the Shining Sand Empire, forcing Edward VIII to put away his ambitions.
An Fei felt a lot of headaches, and now he would definitely not be able to fight, but there was no way for them to go! Dwarves and goblins could ignore hundreds of people and so many things, and a winding convoy would be lit up outside, wouldn't it be given to others to fight? Even if other people were excluded, the alliance organized by Ozgüch would definitely pay attention to the movement of Moramachi Town, and when the time came, nearly a thousand people surrounded the convoy in the wilderness, then they would be more than lucky!
An Fei was frowning and thinking, and the others were frowning and thinking, but no one could think of a good way
After a long time, Chris suddenly said slowly: "Fly us." ”
"Split into two ways?" An Fei was stunned.
"Form an elite squad and move outside to attract the attention of all enemies, and the rest of the men hide in the dungeons. Chris thought for a moment: "Anfei has a lot of mercenaries who know you now, let you lead the team, this will make others think that we have all left Moramachi Town." ”
"What about you?"
"I also need people to manage here, so I'll stay, I was in charge of exploring the secrets in the tunnels and looking for the dwarves, and I am most familiar with these tunnels. Chris smiled: "By the way, you must take Suzanne to stay outside, and it is far more dangerous than us!"
"What about here, what if the army of the Sand Empire starts attacking the tunnels?"
"What the Shining Sand Empire needs now is for the army to withdraw safely, not to embarrass us, they don't have much time, so I don't think the intensity of their attack will be very large, at most they will destroy a few of our dungeons, and they will retreat. Chris said slowly: "I won't stubbornly say goodbye, forget that we still have Hagen, if the battle starts in the middle of the dungeon, the Beamon he summoned will become a nightmare for the soldiers of the Shining Sand Empire!"
"How many regeneration potions can you make from Hagen's ingredients?, so how many more times can you summon Beamon?"
"One more summon. ”
Chris secretly glanced at Hagen, who touched his forehead with his hand: "No, I miscalculated just now, I should be able to summon three times!"
For An Fei, who is accustomed to quietly watching the changes in other people's demeanor, Chris's eyes are very secretive, but they still can't escape his observation, An Fei can't help but sigh lightly, pretending not to see anything: "Three times? That's not enough." ”
"No more, it won't be possible. Hagen smiled bitterly: "The potion can be made, but I can't make Beamon's bones!"
"What are you going to do if the army of the Shining Sands Empire doesn't leave Moramachi?"
"It's very unlikely. ”
"What if I give birth to you?"
"So, you also need to take Ryska with you, and then you can unleash magic scrolls outside and attack the army of the Shining Sand Empire. ”
"Although there are not many magicians in the Shining Sand Empire, how can there be twenty or thirty magicians in an army of 30,000 people, right?
"That's your problem, it's not mine, don't ask me. Chris smiled: "Anfei take Niya with her, she hates the gloomy tunnels the most, I asked her to go into the tunnels a few times to have a look, but she said nothing and didn't want to go down, if she stayed in the tunnels for a while, it would be uncomfortable to die, it was better to follow you." “
An Fei couldn't help but be stunned, how could he listen to this, how unlucky! Isn't it a matter of entrustment?! According to his analysis, Chris's family background is very deep, and in such a situation, he is willing to take on the burden, and he has not forgotten to protect Niya, regardless of whether he agrees with or disapproves of Chris's suggestion in his heart, he admires Chris's responsibility!
"No, I can only cause trouble for An Fei when I go out with An Fei, so it's better to stay here. Niya surprisingly rejects Chris's suggestion.
Chris also smiled bitterly, but did not speak again, and putting forward this suggestion would already make some scheming people perceive something, and if he repeated his suggestion, it would undoubtedly be frank to tell everyone what he really thought.
An Fei glanced at Nia in surprise, everyone will continue to grow with the passage of time and the increase of experience, but there are fast and slow degrees. Nia's performance today has become much more mature, and he has ignored Nia these days, and he hasn't spoken to Niya for a long time, so he is surprised by this change.
"Anfei, you have an idea. Black Eleven said softly: "I think Chris's words are right! Only by dividing into two ways can we take care of each other, if the Shining Sand Empire really can't get along with us, you can find a way to save us outside! If we are all blocked inside, there will be no chance." ”
"Yes, Anfei decides who to choose. Zubin continued.
"You're going to come with me, you've been in the land of mercenaries for the longest time, more than we know. An Fei said to Black Eleven, and then muttered for a moment: "Just the four of us!"
"Anfei, are you picking fewer people?" this time it was Chris's turn to be surprised. "It's enough. An Fei shook his head.
