"According to the information of the crow, there is a nest of gnolls in a cave about 30 kilometers away from here," Kevin summoned the dark elves, and the seven of them had a short meeting on tomorrow's operation, "The distance is a bit far, and the road is not easy to walk, and it is estimated that it may take a day in the past." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"So far?" the Dark Elf frowned, "Isn't there anything else nearby?"

"No, at least not found," Kevin replied, "since the last time we knocked out a gnoll stockade, the neighborhood seems to be very quiet, there have been no lootings or anything like that, and some of the gnolls have migrated en masse. That gnolls den is already the closest. ”

"30 kilometers away," Sain muttered for a moment, "it's okay, right? ”

"It's a bit more time to calculate, just in case anything else happens," Kevin replied, "We've been proofreading all the maps in the neighborhood lately, but we haven't been to any of them 30 kilometers away, so this map may not be very accurate either." ”

The dark elf stared at the map for a while, frowning slightly: "Why did you only remember to exterminate the gnolls now?" You said that there are gnolls moving out, if you act earlier, wouldn't it be better to intercept them directly?"

Kevin spread his hands: "Then even if I make a mistake, it's finally too late to remedy it now." What do your Dark Elf friends think, would you like to do it together?"

"Let's talk about the specifics first. The Dark Elf replied.

"We don't know much about the specifics," Kevin replied, pointing to the map over and over again, "the terrain is about like this, it's a small hill, about 800 meters high. There is a cave halfway up the mountain, surrounded by some grass and trees, and the entrance of the cave is relatively hidden. My crow also discovered this cave while following the gnolls. ”

"We don't know what's going on inside the cave, and there's no way the crow will fly in and die. So how many gnolls are there, and we can't accurately judge what the actual combat effectiveness is, the crows can see at most 23 prime-aged gnolls appear at the same time, and the single combat ability should not be stronger than ours. The mountain is ordinary, with bare stones on one side and some vegetation on the other, and there seems to be only one cave, but the cave may be connected to other places. Kevin introduced it all in one breath, "Looking at the weather, it should be sunny for the past two days, suitable for doing a big thing." ”

But the Dark Elves' focus is elsewhere: "Your crows seem to be a little too good?"

"Is there one?" said Kevin.

"Forget it," the Dark Elf didn't dwell too much, but continued to take the map and look at it, "what are you going to do?

"The magic of the chariot may not be enough," Kevin admits, "and I'm afraid it won't be able to come back." ”

"There are so many crystals here, is there still a shortage of crystals?" asked the dark elf.

"It needs to be processed, and the rough stone dug up here is very difficult to use directly," Kevin replied, "Even if there are alchemists present, they need the appropriate equipment." So we don't expect the chariots that we're driving over, and we've already sent them. ”

"Are there any other tactics then?" asked the Dark Elf, "Burn or flood?"

"It's hard to say," Kevin replied, "that the fire doesn't just burn casually, it requires a field trip." If it's too humid over there, then we still need oil, and we have up to seven of us, and we don't have a space ring, and we can't carry much. Flooding is even more unlikely, there is no water source there. ”

"And what are you going to do?" the dark elves were surprised, "Shall we just take our swords and cut down a nest of gnolls?"

"Let's do that," Kevin replied, "and we should get moving." ”

"Wait!" the Dark Elf still held back, "You see, the last time we were able to succeed, we mainly lost three vehicles. They couldn't attack, and we consumed the main force, and then the raid was successful. This time there are no tanks, and we are attacking head-on? This ...... It is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries, and it is not worth it for some money. ”

Kevin comforted him: "If you want to talk about risk, it's inevitable. Drinking water can also choke to death, but you can't stop drinking water because of that. The main thing is to see if the risk value is worth taking, I personally analyze the results, you can give it a try. You just say you're not going to participate, right?"

"What's in it for me?" asked the Dark Elf.

"All the money we have grabbed will be given to the believers here, and if there is anything else that is inconvenient to share, we will discuss it," Kevin replied, "and you must have your share." ”

The dark elves were still hesitating, and Sain spoke directly: "If you don't want to, then let's go find the light elves." Or I won't look for you, or I won't miss one of you. ”

"I just think you're dying!" the dark elf shook his head.

"You think we're going to die?" Kevin laughed.

The dark elf was helpless, looked around at the crowd, and found that everyone had already reached a consensus. As an alien, he has no other allies here, so he can only sigh: "Okay, then I'll be with you once." ”

"That's great. "Everyone was very happy, and the pre-war meeting, which had been serious and tense, became relaxed. This made the dark elves feel like they had been betrayed in a trance, and maybe they would find some work to send them to death, and hurriedly clarified: "But I'm not your subordinate, don't think of ordering me absolutely." ”

"Don't worry," Kevin didn't care, and moved on to arrange other work, "Since the dark elves are decided, then Fett will stay, and you will continue to preach here as a god's saint." ”

"Huh?" Fit looked reluctant again, "Am I alone?"

"You'd better serve a mission, stay here and continue," Kevin replied, "we don't have enough people and we can't divide more people, remember to keep the ritual alive, and don't interrupt it once in the morning and evening." It doesn't rain for these two days, and you don't have to think about whether you want a ceremony on a rainy day. We use parrots to keep in touch, and even if we die, you're going to keep preaching, you know?"

"Okay. Fett agreed.

"Okay, rest early today, set off early tomorrow morning, about three to five days, and you can prepare in the evening. What questions do you have? If not, you will disperse? Rest early and talk about the details on the way. Kevin had already waved.

Everyone got up, only Fett seemed to hesitate, and Kevin couldn't help but stop her: "What's wrong?

Fett didn't speak, just shook his head and went out.

Kevin was stunned, looking back on how little he knew about the sheriff, and she had the least words since she came here. Just looking at her expression, it was obvious that she seemed to be emotional, could it be that she was actually religious?

Kevin hesitated for a moment, but chased him out, deciding to at least get to know his subordinates. Knocking on Fett's door, Fett had just entered the house, and when he saw Kevin chasing in, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"You seem to have something to say just now?" Kevin snapped.

"Yes?" said Fett, laughing.

"That'...... Are you religious?" Kevin asked directly.

"I don't believe it. Do you see me pray?" replied Fett.

"Alright then, you get off early. Kevin came back embarrassed and had to put the matter aside.

The next morning, everyone got up on time again and performed the ritual around the tree. It's just that this time it's even more lively, and the kobold civilians also went out en masse, just like last night, and the whole city was bursting with strange tones of "God bless me"! Of course, Kevin didn't do any more miracles this time, and if there were too many miracles, it would be worthless.

In the morning, Kevin's six people set off in full gear, and today the kobold regiment leader did not go out and retreated in the city. Kevin also said goodbye to him. The gist is that God let him go out once, and he needs to go through some experience, and if the experience is successful, then there will be a rich harvest.

The kobold leader tried to keep Kevin, but Kevin was a prophet in his eyes, but of course he didn't succeed. But he finally left a saint, and Kevin asked him to find Fett for everything.

A group of six people, set off in full gear, no horses or cars, all on foot. Maintain a basic formation during the march, Kevin and the dark elves are in the front, Sain and Jack are in the middle, Xiao Jiu is behind, and the little spoon is acting independently, she is the most powerful, wandering around everyone, and is not in everyone's field of vision.

"I remember you said that there might be some force behind the gnolls, or even some people who secretly cultivated them to specialize in robbery," the dark elves asked as they walked, "why aren't you worried now?"

"Worry is inevitable," Kevin replied, "I remember the first day I was here, the kobold captain and the interpreter were talking to me in bed, and the interpreter said 'you can get funny coins once in a while,' and I immediately asked if any of our merchants were coming, and they discussed it for a long time before they replied, 'Yes.'" ”

"Oh?" the Dark Elf speculated, "you think they cheated on you?"

"I later asked our ambassador about the business, but I haven't heard of anyone doing business with the rebels," Kevin replied, "and of course it's not any evidence, it's just a suspicion." ”

"Do you think these gnolls are actually raised by the head of the regiment, and help them rob and make money?" asked the dark elf.

"Just looking at the level of kobolds, they are not capable of raising jackals, and it cannot be ruled out that there is another group of people behind them," Kevin replied, "It is difficult to say at this time, there are always people who want to make war money in war." ”

"Isn't it the Empire doing it again?" asked the Dark Elf again.

Kevin sighed: "It's not like everything is the empire doing ghosts, and the empire is rich and wealthy, and it won't rob a few passers-by for this." Anyway, we don't care too much, now we have a slightly more stable rear, and we can still start a religious war as a last resort, which is also our last hole card. ”

The dark elf's face changed slightly: "Is this the real purpose of your mission?"

Kevin glanced at him: "That's just the hole card, I would never take this step if I could." ”

"I see," the Dark Elf nodded, "no wonder I wonder why you didn't want to hunt down the Gnolls the other day, but you were willing today." Is it because the hole cards are basically mature?"

Kevin laughed but didn't answer.

"Are you still a righteous person?" the dark elf couldn't help but ask.

Kevin was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "People cannot be absolutely righteous or absolutely evil, there is always a middle line." I have always despised religion, but now I am a religious leader myself. I've deceived a large group of people, but at the same time I'm really teaching them something useful. Even if they can't learn now, we will continue to teach in the next group of observers, and one day we will teach. ”

The dark elf nodded: "Then this kobold country will inevitably favor Lou Baole country in the future, and it will definitely give more support on international issues." ”

Kevin smiled, "Then why don't you teach them Elvish?"

"To be honest, if you really want the good of the dog-headed people, then you should teach the imperial Chinese, after all, the empire is the most powerful country," the dark elf smiled, "you teach Lou Pauler Chinese, after all, you have to improve your international status." ”

Kevin was silent for a moment and nodded: "Even if you are right, so what? To be honest, at least we are still teaching them seriously, unlike the Imperial people who come directly to pit them for money." When did the dark elves become so bright and righteous, I almost thought I was talking to the light elves. ”

The dark elf smiled awkwardly: "Forget it, don't talk about it." I'm just mocking the light elves for getting used to it, and when they encounter problems, they habitually say that they are not righteous enough. ”

"Actually, your taunts are meaningless," Kevin replied, "but I won't advise you to reconcile, first, it's not my business, and second...... The elves are very powerful, and the division is actually ...... Forget it, you should understand. ”

The dark elves walked with their heads bowed and didn't say a word for a long time.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the crowd finally arrived at the mountain that Kevin had spoken of last night. Everyone also has some strength, and they are not very tired after walking for a day, and they have all looked up and looked around at this time, looking for the cave that Kevin said.

"I suddenly noticed something," the dark elf was startled, "I seem to have walked all day, and there are no crows or parrots flying in the sky?"

"You're very observant," Kevin approving, "the crow is currently in the city, keeping an eye on the Church of Light to prevent that priest from sending a bird to summon the other priests to spray us." The parrot is responsible for liaising with the ambassador on the side of the government forces, and the two birds can do some proliferation reconnaissance in the vicinity, but it is too far away, so we have to rely on ourselves. ”

The dark elf couldn't help licking his dry lips: "In the absence of aerial reconnaissance, directly fight a litter of gnolls?"

"No, both sides are very important, and they can't be transferred," Kevin was helpless, "After all, it's just two birds, but don't worry, we can rely on manpower to scout." Let's go, let's go up the mountain. ”

The dark elves were helpless, and looked at everyone's expressions, all of them looked like they had known for a long time. This is probably Kevin's deliberate refusal, otherwise if he said that the two birds were not there at the beginning, the dark elves might feel too dangerous and refused to participate in the battle. But now that everyone is here, if they refuse to go to war, then go back alone. In this kind of place, it may be more dangerous to go back alone than to go to war.

"You're so unkind, you're fooling me over. The Dark Elves couldn't help but complain.

"Shhhh ”

Dark Elf: "......"
