Chapter Ninety-One: Stratagem
At the same time, the messenger also gave Thean the news that Alban still had some materials in his hand that would activate the effect of the "Last Throw", and if it was used all at once, it would be equivalent to injecting 50 volts of mana into the dagger at once.
In addition, he also prepared many gifts for Sean, the value of which was definitely not lower than this dagger, and said that he would definitely satisfy Sean.
In exchange for giving Sean these things, Alban hopes to have a face-to-face meeting with him immediately afterwards and sign a contract with Sean to gain his support.
……
To be honest, Alban's series of moves is really sensible.
Whether it's being keenly aware of how things are going or easily giving away magic items and consumables worth thousands of gold coins, Alban's actions not only show his wisdom, but also his courage to gamble.
Without any constraints, he could pay for something so expensive, and he was not afraid that Sean would turn around and leave with this dagger, it would be a huge risk.
The reason that prompted him to take such an adventure was simple, and that was the suspicion between the two.
In order to ensure his own safety, it was impossible for Alban to fully enter the plains during the negotiations, and he did not even dare to let other people from Sean's side come to his vicinity.
But Sean wouldn't take the initiative to go into danger for this kind of thing, and when both of them have such a mentality, if no one comes out to break the deadlock, then things will definitely become awkward.
So, Alban, who was in a passive position, took the initiative to show Sheen goodwill, and he took out so much money and goods to give Sheen just to show his sincerity to Sheen and seek further cooperation.
Sean, who had received these things, was indeed moved at the time, but after relieving himself, he wanted to kill Alban even more.
Such a person with means, strategy, and determination has suffered such a big loss now, if he remembers this matter one day in the future and troubles Sean, it will be very torturous.
He didn't know Alban well, so he naturally didn't know what this person's stomach was, he didn't want to bet, let alone dare to bet.
Rather than leaving such a hidden danger, it is better to strike first and directly let everything in this guy be stillborn, so that he can not only get things, but also earn military merits, and there will be no all kinds of bad things, which is called killing multiple birds with one stone.
After this idea was raised, Sean began to weigh the pros and cons, and deduced the possible plan little by little according to his own strength.
From Alban's point of view, he wanted Sean to go and sign the contract alone, but he expected that Sean would definitely not take the initiative to go into danger, so he gave Sean a magic dagger that he called the "Blade of Trust".
This dagger represents both his sincerity and the confidence he gives to Sean, in addition, although the army brought by Sean cannot be approached, he can watch from afar, and if something happens to Sean, he can immediately save the scene.
Such painstaking arrangements gave Sean a chance.
If you want to negotiate the specific terms of the contract, the two will definitely have close contact, Alban is not a professional, if Sean does something to him, it will definitely be nine out of ten.
The question now is how to get out of the crowd after kidnapping or killing Alban.
Apprentice-level professionals are not as powerful as ordinary people think, and with such a large group of soldiers under Alban, even if he stands still and lets Sean kill, it will take him days.
Of course, these ordinary people are not the biggest threat, as long as they ride on the blood-colored war horse and escape quickly after succeeding, even if those soldiers want revenge, it is impossible to catch up with him.
But there are professionals on Alban's side, too!
Although he didn't even have a trainee-level professional, and there were only a few apprentices at best, and he didn't even have to have as many as their squad, he really didn't know how many rounds he could hold out if he shot at Sean at the same time.
At this time, you need the cooperation of your teammates, although they can't support Sean in the first place, they can still help Sean in disguise.
The Plains have a wide field of vision, and the other four teammates don't have a class that is good at hiding, so they can only hide among these soldiers to cooperate with Sean's operation.
In this way, as long as Sean can withstand the first few rounds of attacks, those professionals under Alban will inevitably throw a mouse trap and dare not continue to chase after him.
Of course, the most important thing is that Sean has absolutely safe security for this operation.
During the time he was about to leave Ryan City, he could feel as if there was a barrier between himself and the trainees, extremely close but unreachable.
But as time passed, and after a few days of blood baptism in the war, Sean's soul gradually began to change a little, and the barrier that blocked him became thinner and thinner.
To this day, although he has not really advanced naturally, as long as Sean is willing, he can forcibly break through the obstacles at any time and complete the transformation from apprentice level to apprentice level in an instant.
Although his soul may be slightly injured afterwards, in his current condition, he will be fine if he rests for a while and uses some soul-repairing potions, and will not leave permanent sequelae.
……
After refining the plan repeatedly, Sean set off to find his teammates, intending to tell them what he was going to do.
Of course, he definitely didn't tell Bilair or them when he got the "Blade of Trust", and in the face of Bilaire and the others' doubts, Sean just prevaricated them on the grounds that he could get more military merits.
Although they don't know why Sean took the initiative to take risks because of such a small benefit, as pure profiteers, they naturally would not object.
Before the arrival of the Silver Eagle Legion, if Sean can capture the enemy's head, the members of their squad will naturally be able to get light, even if Sean fails, it will not be them who will bear the risk at that time.
The only thing the four of them had to do was to meet Sean in the rear and scare away the enemies who might catch up.
After asking about the matter, these guys all agreed very happily, and even had some encouragement in it.
Sean doesn't care about this, of course he knows the mentality of his own team members, if there are enough interests, these guys will definitely not mind stabbing Sean in the back.
However, Sean thinks that he can still hold these people down at the moment, and if he wants to complete his plan, he can't do without their help, so there is no way to get them involved.
After everything was arranged, the time was approaching.
