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

Maybe it was to atone for his sins, maybe it was complete despair, from the beginning to the end, Manlin never counterattacked, although he had the strength to counterattack, and although Himpella's attack did not take defense into account at all, although the momentum was fierce but full of flaws. Before he died, he glanced at Simpera with an apologetic gaze, and then looked for Alice's figure blankly, but unfortunately did not find it.

As soon as Manlin died, Moramachi 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 Group 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 enemy and a family hatred, in the case of the overall situation, there is really no need to choose to sacrifice.

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

Overheard Ozgucci talk about how busy Alice was when she managed Moramachi in the past, but Moramachi always operated very regularly, even if there was more Manlin, this unstable factor did not affect much, and 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 that if someone else was different, he could explain it with a lie, but what kind of lie could hide from Alice? Even to treat Alice as an object in exchange for his own benefit, at least after understanding what Alice has been doing and thinking during this time, he can only make a decision.

Led by Ozgucci, An Fei came to the courtyard where Alice lived, and there were only two guards in the huge courtyard, judging from their demeanor, it should be Kumoro Gosha's subordinates, and when An Fei came in, they did not step forward to stop him. Instead, he quietly stepped aside.

An Fei groaned for a moment, knocked on the door, and then waved his hand to Ozgüch, who slowly retreated with a slightly knowledgeable jaw.

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

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

"You're here. Alice said softly, her expression was very indifferent, and it stands to reason that Ann flew in the door out of basic courtesy. Or it is the defense of both men and women, she should not continue to lie on the bed and speak, although the tone of 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 pondered for a moment before nodding 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, and misfortune comes out of my mouth. ”

"Like...... You are not a person who is afraid of causing trouble, otherwise you would not have issued a proclamation to summon mercenaries. ”

"I've made it 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 in front of his chest, paused, and said slowly: "Alice, I know you, and 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 turn into 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 Big 6, the four major mercenary groups, but in order to protect themselves, they refuse to lend a helping hand to the other mercenaries, and our announcement is enough to be 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 aid 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 would you do? If I don't know your details, I really doubt that you are a necromancer's people, 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 because of the shortage of supplies, you do this is equivalent to doing the necromancer a great favor!"

Alice opened her small mouth in surprise and looked at An Fei for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "There are some places where 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 and tell me what the hell do you think?"

"You think too highly of yourself, don't forget that you're only a second-rate character up to now, how many mercenaries do you think our land announcement will attract?

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

Alice was not afraid, but said slowly: "There are only four mercenary groups in the country of mercenaries, and there are dozens of first-class mercenary groups, among them, only one is the Iron Blood Rose mercenary group that 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 mercenary country6, if you want to rush to Moramachi Town, you must have a conflict with the undead creatures, the survival of the fittest, the mercenaries who can get here alive are all experienced warriors, and 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 gain the greatest prestige for us and also 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 survive well.

"I just calculated that there are almost two thousand mercenaries in the town, where do they get their food?"

"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 for a while, An Fei sighed: "Okay, let's talk about Man Lin later, I'm very strange, people like Man Lin shouldn't fall 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 knows me, but I don't remember him. ”

"How could a dignified imperial princess be interested in a small mercenary 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 found opportunities to contact me, he respected me very much, and even passed Ozgucci, 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 to increase his leverage in pursuing me, and that doesn't hurt me." ”

"But it's bad for me, don't forget that 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 thoroughly understand Alice's thoughts.
