Chapter Eighty-Four: A Short Break and New Troubles
Xu Yue was startled by the sound outside the tree hole, he hurriedly turned his head and saw Woqi staring at him not far away with red eyes, but after seeing the other party's appearance, his heart relaxed.
In the process of chasing and killing him, Wolf has been burning his life force to burst his fighting spirit, although this method allows him to gain strong strength in a short period of time, but once his life is overdrawn to a certain extent, he will enter a weakened state. At this time, Woch's figure had become shaky, and the spear in his hand could only be supported on the ground, and he could barely stand on the hilt of the spear with both hands.
Xu Yue quickly took out the staff from the storage ring and released a third-level 'defensive shield' spell for himself. Then he came out of the hollow of the tree.
"Damn mage, I said I'd chop off your head and make a bone bottle. I'll see where else you'll run this time. Vooch gritted his teeth, straightened up, and said viciously.
Xu Yue looked at him and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think you still have this ability now." ”
Wolf smiled sinisterly, "No! Of course I have the ability." I've reached my limit, but you've run out of magic now after this night's escape!How long do you think you'll be able to survive my attacks with a third-level shield?"
Xu Yue smiled and said, "As long as you can't break the shield at once, then I won!"
After speaking, Xu Yue suddenly raised his hand, and an ordinary fireball technique shot towards Woqi.
Vooc sneered and raised the spear in his hand, his body rushing forward while infusing the spear with fighting energy. I saw that with a casual wave of his hand, the fireball technique was swept away by his spear, turning into scattered flames.
Then Xu Yue raised his hand, it seemed that he was going to continue to shoot fireballs, Woqi could clearly see the brilliance of the magic ring on his hand when it moved, and knew that the other party had indeed lost his magic power as he guessed, and could only rely on a fireball ring to barely support.
Really. Two more fireballs in a row were fired. Wolf sneered and knocked out the two fireballs. However, he was not ready to delay, with his physical condition at this time, he had reached the limit, and after a while, I was afraid that he really did not have the ability to break the protective magic on the other party's body.
But just as his body rushed towards Xu Yue, a strong crisis suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. I saw that Xu Yue was still holding his right hand of the Fireball Shooting Technique at this time, and from the glove of his right hand, an ice blue light flashed.
The 'Ice Dragon Lance', this penetrating fourth-level magic form a huge spear-shaped ice pick in the air. The ice pick shot in front of Woch's eyes with a strong chill.
If it was put in Woqi's body intact, even if it was a fourth-level magic with extremely penetrating power, the 'Ice Dragon Spear', with his fifth-level fighting spirit, he wouldn't want to hurt him. But Walch's current situation would require multiple attacks even if he wanted to break a third-level magic shield, let alone such a powerful fourth-level magic.
Relying on his rich combat experience, Wolf desperately twisted his body to dodge the attack. But his body, which was exhausted by Yan zhòng's overdraft, was unable to escape in the end. With a powerful inertia, the 'Ice Dragon Lance' stabbed through his right shoulder. The huge inertia sent his entire body flying away.
Xu Yue didn't stop there, but stimulated the remaining two 'Ice Dragon Spear' spells in a row. Three icicles ran through Waldge's body, nailing him to the massive trunk of a tree behind him that needed to be wrapped by several people.
The pain was accompanied by a muffled grunt, and Walch's left chest and abdomen were pierced by the Ice Dragon Lance in addition to his right shoulder. The pierced lungs kept the blood from his mouth coming out, and he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"It's over!" Xu Yue sighed and took out the M5oo pistol in the storage ring. After replacing the pistol with a bullet. He raised his pistol and pointed it at Walch's head and pulled the trigger. At such a close distance, Waldge's head was like a watermelon that had exploded, and it was blown up in an instant.
Seeing that the corpse on the top of the house shrank a few times and then stopped moving, Xu Yue sighed, opened the boundary crossing door and quickly returned to the earth.
Although the injuries on his body had been healed by the 'all-effect potion', the exhaustion of mental power and the night's running made Xu Yue feel extremely tired in his heart and feel a strong wave of dizziness and nausea. He had already had several experiences of running out of mental energy, and he knew that he needed a good rest at this time. After reluctantly putting the robes and staff on his body into the storage ring. He didn't even get to the bed, and fell asleep directly on the carpet of the villa......
In the conference room of the command post in Black Rock City, Ralph was sitting in the main seat listening to his men's reports, and a priest was standing at his right hand and unleashing healing on his right arm and forehead. Looking at the wounds on his right arm and forehead, it was obvious that the siege of the orcs' two seventh-level warriors had cost him a lot to escape.
It was the second day of the sneak attack, and Ralph had rushed out of the troll's camp with two rank 6 officers shortly after the large army had returned. The remaining sixth-rank officers died on the way under siege from the trolls.
Because the trolls know then the logistical supplies are destroyed in the case. If they can't capture Black Rock City in a short period of time, then they will face a defeat. So the trolls directly moved the siege battle again, and this time the battle was far before, and those trolls almost desperately attacked the city wall with the momentum of a decisive fight.
Ralph and his troops didn't breathe a sigh of relief when they returned to the city. Join the fight against the trolls. After a night of fierce fighting, the trolls, who had lost most of their siege equipment, were not allowed to break through the walls, but the fierce fighting caused the already small defenders of Black Rock City to lose as much as 30% of the city's defenses.
After listening to his adjutant's report, Ralph said with some solemnity: "So, we only have about 30,000 people left to defend the city?"
The adjutant nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, we went out of the city last night to fight a total of 60,000 troops, and the number of people who died in the battle, plus the fifth brigade, which died because of the break, was almost 10,000 men. Last night's siege battle was very fierce, and 20,000 soldiers were killed in a short period of time. The current 30,000 people still include 6,000 cavalry troops to have this number. ”
"What about the wounded soldiers, the wounded and sick that we have retired from the battlefield before, I have used all the magical healing potions to make sure that the wounded and sick can recover to a state of war. And let the priests also participate in the treatment of the wounded, and tell the temples that we will give them the cost of the treatment afterwards, so that they can give me the last bit of strength to treat the wounded. Ralph said, tapping his finger on the table.
"Yes! In this case, we will have about 10,000 soldiers again in a short time, and we can go into battle again. However, in this way, I am afraid that the treasury of Black Rock City will be completely consumed, and the city lord will ......."
"I'll go to the city lord, if Black Rock City is breached. What's the use of asking for those gold coins? Even if the official of Black Rock City goes bankrupt, as long as Black Rock City is still there, the wealth will always be earned back in the future. Ralph said, waving his hand.
"Yes!" I commanded at once. Then the young adjutant seemed to remember something, and said with some hesitation: "By the way, my lord, the people of the elite squad are back, I wonder if you want to meet them?"
Ralph was a little surprised when he heard his words, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "How many people have they come back?"
"The only people who came back were Master Aldrich and Captain Brandt. None of the others came back. As for the specific situation, because the war is urgent, the subordinates have not had time to ask. The young adjutant said.
"Let them in, just in time we need to find out what happened last night!" Ralph said, waving his hand.
The adjutant nodded his head and walked out of the conference room, where he walked in with Master Aldrich and Captain Brandt, dressed as wolves. Obviously, the battle last night had made the two of them suffer enough, and they saw that the robes and armor on their bodies had become tattered at this time.
Brandt was better. It's just that the whole body armor has become half body armor, and half of the shoulders are exposed. Aldrich was even more wolfy, the magic weapon on his body almost turned into strips of rags, his whole body was blackened with flames, and the head on his head was burned to the ground. The two long, hairy legs are almost bare, and they look like indigenous Africans who have escaped from the forest.
Seeing the two of them, the corners of Ralph's eyes twitched. This noble profession as a magician. He usually pays a lot of attention to his behavior, like Aldrich's current appearance, he really hasn't seen any mage before.
"We need an explanation!" Aldrich shouted angrily as he saw Ralph. It was clear that after knowing Ralph's actions last night, he only thought about it for a moment and realized that they were being used as bait, and that last night's dangerous battle and crazy wolf Bèi's escape were all due to Ralph, and when he saw the main master, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart.
"Double the number of rewards for quest items! You should think of all the risks before you go on a quest. While our mission is indeed useful for your purpose, the idea of burning the other side's logistical supplies is true. I think you also know that this mission itself is a life and a death, since you have taken it for a good reward. Naturally, be prepared to face danger. Ralph then choked Aldrich's words back.
Aldrich opened his mouth angrily, but in the end he said everything. Ralph was right, and while he didn't reveal that he was using them as bait to attract the enemy's attention, the risks of the mission were made clear from the start. And the military is only speculating that someone may have leaked the news, but not receiving the actual news. Relying on a guess to send troops is in itself an act of gambling, and it is not really a deception of them.
The main thing is Ralph's statement that the number of bonus items is doubled. The reward items they received as reward for their quests were extremely valuable things, and doubling the number at this point would be enough to satisfy a third-level mage like Aldrich.
After seeing Master Aldrich open his mouth and not speak, Ralph turned his head to Brandt and said, "Captain Brandt." I need you to tell me more about your battle last night. ”
"Yes, sir!" said Brandt, who immediately straightened up and gave a military salute. Next, he gave a detailed report on the actions of himself and others last night.
After hearing his words, Ralph frowned and said, "So, you didn't have time to destroy the enemy's supply points last night, but only escaped all night after being pursued by those trolls and orcs, and only the two of you escaped alive after dawn?"
"Yes, sir!" Brandt blushed a little as he said this, and even the mage Aldrich next to him was a little embarrassed. After all, they could say that they didn't accomplish anything last night, so they just ran for their lives. And in the end, only the two of them died in the team, which can almost be said to be a complete failure of their mission.
"Well, which of you can sue me. Who destroyed the troll's supply point, and who sent the signal to disrupt the troll's deployment so that the troops could evacuate safely. Ralph looked at Captain Brandt with some dissatisfaction.
"This ...... Because the enemy is chasing us so closely, we don't know what's going on with the trolls' supply points. But ......," Brandt said, with some hesitation.
"But what?" Ralph asked, glancing at him.
Taken aback by Ralph's stern eyes, Brandt immediately said quickly, "But when we fled at that time, Master Xu Yue didn't escape with us after helping us break the siege. Moreover, Master Xu Yue had previously proposed to use the troll's warning signal to divert the attention of some of the guards, and he had also collected a lot of troll's signal canisters......"
"You don't mean to say that Master Xu Yue alone has completed the task of destroying the troll's supply point, and he still has the leisure to use the troll's signal canister to interfere with the troll's actions. Help the main army to retreat!" Ralph said with a frown.
Brandt was a little speechless by Ralph's words, even he felt that his guess was a bit exaggerated. But in the end he plucked up the courage and said, "But my lord, it is difficult to have any other speculation than this explanation. The person who fired the signal last night was using a 'magic burning potion', which only the rest of our squad could carry. And the rest of the people who retreated with us have all been confirmed dead, so ......"
After listening to Brandt's words, Ralph closed his eyes and pondered for a while and said, "Okay. I'll talk about this matter when Master Xu Yue returns, and I'll also send someone to sneak into the trolls to find out the news. You go down and rest first, and if you want to receive the reward for this mission, you can go directly to my lieutenant. ”
Brandt and Aldridge glanced at each other, nodded and walked out. For the items rewarded this time, the two of them are still looking forward to it. However, both of them were a little worried about Xu Yue, who had no news yet, after all, the other party could be said to have saved their lives at a critical moment. If it hadn't been for that clearance. I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to break through.
In the conference room, Ralph said to himself with a thoughtful smile on his face, "Xu Yue, could it be that he really did these things as a second-level mage?"
Xu Yue, who was being talked about, had just woken up from the floor of the Earth Villa at this time, ran all night, and fell asleep on the hard floor again, and when he woke up, he felt that his waist was about to break. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, and he felt a little sober.
Sitting on the soft sand of the villa, he leaned against the backrest and closed his eyes and thought for a while. As an ordinary person who was an office worker half a year ago, his experience in the past six months can definitely be said to be thrilling. At least he had never thought of it before. He will participate in a grand war, and he will even play a major role in this war.
The tense battle and escape of last night, although the sense of danger as if walking a tightrope on a cliff made him feel like his heart was about to jump out of his throat, but the tension and excitement that followed made him feel intoxicated.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this kind of life to be more suitable for me. Xu Yue opened her eyes and said self-deprecatingly.
After sitting on the sand for a while, Xu Yue shook her head and stopped thinking about Talumia's side. He took off his messy underwear, which had been smeared and burned by blood and flames, and received it in the storage ring, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After changing into clean clothes, I drove out of the complex.
He didn't plan to return to Talumia immediately after returning to Earth this time. During this time, because of the war in Black Rock City, he was recruited to the battlefield by the Magic Guild, and he could only stay at Talumia's side almost twenty-four hours a day, and basically did not have time to return to the earth. Luckily, he had already greeted his family before. Otherwise, if he didn't show up for two months, his family would probably think he was missing.
Ellie had been entrusted to the care of the guardians who remained in Black Rock City, and he could rest easy. Ivo is even more in Komodo Town, far away from the battlefield, and for the time being, Black Rock City has nothing to worry about.
Taking the opportunity of this mission, he can justifiably "disappear" for a while. After all, after destroying the troll's supply point, the excuse of running in the wrong direction in order to escape, and not being able to break through the troll's blockade and return, can still be used. After all, the 'invisible potion' on his body had indeed run out. The coordinates of the two Talemia Crossing Gates were near the troll camp, and if he ran back like this, he really didn't have much confidence that he would return to Black Rock City safely.
However, he won't be away for too long this time, three days at most, and the trolls who have lost their supplies will collapse, maybe even that long, but two days should have been there. He was going to use this time to deal with the backlog of things on this side of the earth. After all, there are still a lot of things to deal with in foreign gold mines and parents.
It's already noon on this side of the planet. Xu Yue found a hotel and asked for a few dishes and had a big meal. He never wronged himself about eating, thinking that eating is also part of enjoying life.
Then he found an aTm machine and inserted his bank card into it to check it. The number on the bank card made him raise his eyebrows, and his mood improved a lot.
Gold mines in Ghana have already been opened, and even Myanmar and other places have gone through mining procedures. His card was used to receive the money from the gold mines. Of course, the bulk of the actual funds was still laundered by the gold he had returned from Talumia with Huàn. Before, he came back with tens of thousands of gold coins in one go. The gold would be laundered into cash in the days that followed.
Now his card has reached more than 100 million dollars, which makes his hands rich again.
After making a call home, Xu Yue drove directly from the high highway to the city. Because the degree of opening is relatively fast, he has arrived home in more than four hours. Meals that his parents had prepared at home long after receiving his call.
In the afternoon, he parked his car in front of his house. Looking at his parents standing at the gate of the courtyard, he felt as if he had been away for many years.
After resting his mood, he got out of the car with some small gifts that his parents liked.
"Yueyue. Didn't you say you hadn't been abroad for a few months, why did you come back so soon?" asked my mother as she took the things from his hand, urging him to wash his hands and eat.
Xu Yue smiled and said, "Things are almost done, you can come back from time to time in the next time." However, because they are all in the mountains, it is difficult to make phone calls. ”
"How long can you stay at home this time?" asked my mother with concern.
"About two or three days! I'll go back in two days, but this time I won't have to go that long, and I guess I'll be back in a week." Xu Yue said as she washed her hands in the house.
Listening to his words, my mother was a little disappointed. For more than half a year, Xu Yue has to spend a lot of time on Talumia's side. So the number of times I went home and called a lot less, and my mother missed not seeing her son for a long time. However, after hearing him say that he had not been away for a long time, my mother was happy again.
"Yueyue, the last time you told me and your mother about the procedures for going abroad to open a gold mine. How's things going? Going abroad is different from being at home, so you have to be careful in handling things and don't be deceived by others. Dad sat on the sand and asked with concern.
"Hehe, don't worry. I'm all an acquaintance doing things. It is impossible to deceive the deceived. Besides, your son is not too young, so you can rest assured that you can get things done. Xu Yue said with a smile.
"Come to the table!" Mom tapped him on the head with chopsticks and said with a smile.
The family finished their dinner happily, and Xu Yue and his father sat on the sand and chatted.
"Dad, I ran a very successful thing this time. Things in the gold mine are more smooth. I've made a lot of money in the past few months. The air environment here is not very good, so I want you and my mother to move to City B. When the time comes, buy a bigger villa over there, and take care of some nannies and servants, so that you and my mother can enjoy the life of a rich man. Xu Yue said in a consultative tone.
Dad was amused by his words, and said with a smile: "You kid only earned a few dollars, so you dare to say that you can buy a big villa and hire people." Let's settle your own house first. You make some money, save some money for yourself, and marry a daughter-in-law quickly so that my mother and I can hold a grandson. ”
Xu Yue said helplessly: "You also look at me too flat." My income in the past few months has been almost hundreds of millions. ”
Dad was startled by his words, glared and said, "What are you dreaming about?" Even if you open a gold mine, you can't make such a profit! Hundreds of millions, you think you're printing money!"
Xu Yue pretended to be helpless and said: "The cost of opening a gold mine abroad is low, and I don't just open one mine, there are more than a dozen of them. And lucky. Several of these mines are rich in gold, so it is not unusual to have so much income in a short period of time. If you don't believe me, these mining certificates are officially authorized by various governments, so they can't be faked!"
After speaking, Xu Yue took out several documents and contracts from his bag and handed them to his father. Dad took the documents and contracts in some surprise and looked at them, and after a while, Dad asked with a surprised and skeptical expression, "Are these things real?"
Xu Yue said helplessly: "There is the seal of the Ghana government on it." This thing can be legally enforced. And the deposit of the bank card that I only looked at before I came back now has hundreds of millions of funds. ”
Dad and Mom looked at each other in surprise, last time Xu Yue said that it was enough to surprise them that they had made a lot of money from the antiques. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Xu Yue to say that he would use the money he earned to open a gold mine abroad, although the old couple was worried, but thinking that the child had the heart to do his own business, he did not object. But only a few months later. Xu Yue said that he was already a billionaire with assets, which made the old couple's thinking a little unable to keep up for a while.
"Is this true? Is it really so profitable to open a gold mine?" said Daddy, a little overwhelmed.
"I'm lucky to catch up. Many of the gold mines opened are rich in reserves, so they make a lot of money in a short period of time. Of course, this time the gold accumulated over several months was sold intensively, which is why there are so many of them. It will be a little more stable in the later stage, but there will still be hundreds of millions of benefits per year. After all, I have a lot of gold mines. Xu Yue said with a smile.
In fact, many of his gold mines are real, but in order to take them. The money and price he paid were not much different. Not to mention that a large amount of shares should be distributed to the local government, it is necessary to continuously invest a large amount of money every year in order to dredge up the relationship. In fact, there really isn't much money in his hands. However, with these gold mines as a cover, he can sell a large amount of the gold he brought back from Talumia, which is the bulk of his income.
It's good to say that they finally fooled their father and mother, and the old couple finally accepted the fact that their family has become rich.
"When I come back this time, I want to talk to you and my mother first, and let you settle in City B or a place with a good environment. Xu Yue said to her father and mother with a smile.
Dad said with some hesitation: "But your mother and I have just moved to a new house, isn't it a bit of a waste to buy a new house right away!"
Xu Yue said with a smile: "It's okay to keep this house, and you and my mother don't need to bring anything." When the time comes, I will buy a new house and go straight to it. Everything is bought new. When we want to go back to the city, let's come back to live, which is more convenient. As for the waves not being wasted, don't worry about it. Since then, I have an income of hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and if I don't spend it there, I will have no use except for saving it in the bank. You and my mom have been busy all our lives, it's time to relax. Then you and my mom can travel around the world to relax and have some fun. ”
Under his guidance, my parents quickly accepted his advice. However, after discussing it, the old couple did not decide to go to City B. Instead, I decided to settle in S City, which is far away from the sea.
Xu Yue knew that her parents liked the seaside climate very much, especially the environment that was warm all year round. This may be the yearning of the northerners for the southern environment. And S City just meets this condition, where not only the temperature is above 20 degrees all year round, but the surrounding environment is very beautiful. It is just right for the elderly.
In the end, Xu Yue simply decided to buy two large villas for his parents in both S City and B City, so that the old couple could have a place to live wherever they went. However, this is only a plan for the time being, at least until he returns from Talumia again.
After explaining to his father and mother, a stone in Xu Yue's heart was put down, and he smiled and pretended to take something out of his bag, but in fact took out two bottles of the 'Fountain of Life' from the storage ring.
After getting the 'Fountain of Life', Xu Yue never had time to use it for his father and mother. The physical condition of his father and mother has always been his heart problem, and this time he can finally solve this problem.
The 'Fountain of Life' can't be directly quoted by ordinary people, and some magic potions must be added to synthesize, otherwise the huge vitality will instantly pour into the body of ordinary people. It is likely to make the body of the average person unbearable.
The treated Fountain of Life has lost its breathing green glow, and the huge breath of life force is completely absorbed into its own liquid, which looks like an apple-flavored green drink from the earth. This just solves Xu Yue's most headache problem, otherwise, it will be difficult to keep his parents from doubting the various visions expressed by the 'Fountain of Life'.
"This is a health liquid that I brought back from abroad, and it is said to be made by extracting the essence of pure biology. I've had a bottle and it works very well. These two bottles are for you and your mother. This thing has a short shelf life. You'd better drink it now, otherwise the ingredients in it will automatically decompose and it will be invalid for a long time. Xu Yue said after handing the two bottles of the treated 'Fountain of Life' to his parents.
"Alas, if you have money, you can't buy things blindly. There are a lot of nutritional products on the market today that are deceptive. You kid is not careful, it's useless to drink it, don't drink it to the point where you drink it and spoil your body. After hearing his words, my mother said with some complaints.
"Don't worry. These things were obtained by acquaintances at a great price. It is specially used for those who are rich to condition their bodies. A bottle costs hundreds of thousands. Xu Yue said casually.
Hearing him say that these two fist-sized bottles cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for one bottle, the old couple was so frightened that they almost didn't hold the two small bottles. At last he drank in a daze.
Although the treated 'Fountain of Life' will not have the full effect immediately. But the abundant vitality is only a small part released, and it makes my parents feel as if their whole body is full of vitality. In just a few minutes, Xu Yue saw that the wrinkles on the two old men's faces were slightly missing.
But fortunately, the effect of the first appearance is only like this, and the next effect will slowly swing out in a year to a dilemma. Otherwise, if the second elder became a teenager as soon as he finished drinking, he really didn't know how to explain it, and the effect of the elixir would probably be like this.
After staying at home for two days, Xu Yue drove back to City B early on the morning of the third day. After hurrying back to the villa, Xu Yue changed into the mage robe that had become a little tattered and the underwear that he had changed out of before, and then he didn't deal with the blood and black stains on it, and returned to Talumia after opening the boundary gate.
The location where he appeared this time was the same coordinate point near the original troll supply camp. Leaning on the cover of the nearby numbers, he cautiously approached the vicinity of the camp.
What catches the eye is the scene after a messy fire, the tents and warehouses that had been lined up before have been burned to the ground, and only a few unburned rubbers have fallen to the ground in some warehouses. All kinds of supplies and equipment have been reduced to ashes under the fire, even after two or three days. There are still some places that have not been burned and there is still curling green smoke.
After carefully observing the surroundings, Xu Yue walked out of the hiding place after this place had been completely abandoned. After turning around, leaving nothing useful in the camp, he turned and felt his way back to where the trolls' army had been stationed.
It was still a mess, the former troll camp was empty except for a few discarded items, and it was clear that the other party had retreated, and it was obvious that the retreat was still in a hurry. Even the corpses of some trolls didn't have time to rein. Just throw it in the camp.
After walking around the camp a few times, Xu Yue now showed signs that the human army had come. Thinking that the war has already been fought, although I don't know if the troll side retreated by itself or retreated under the condition of being pursued, but the victory of Black Rock City's side is certain.
Xu Yue found a burnt black wood. I grabbed two handfuls of black ash from above and touched them on my face, and then made a mess of my head, pretending to have been in the wild for two or three days. Then he took his staff as a crutch and walked in the direction of Black Rock City.
Xu Yue was discovered by a human patrol about a kilometer away from Black Rock City. After he identified himself, the patrol immediately contacted his superiors, and then politely sent him back to Black Rock City with a beast. During this period, his wolf appearance attracted the attention of many people, but no one laughed, but many people showed respectful expressions. After all, even if you don't know what he did, just looking at his wolf appearance, it is obvious that he has contributed a lot in the previous battle.
"Master Xu Yue, it's a pleasure to see you again. In the conference room of the headquarters, Xu Yue was received by the supreme commander of the army, Ralph.
"I'm glad to meet you too. Lord Ralph!" Xu Yue said with a smile. His calm appearance was not shaken in the slightest by the image of a wolf on his body.
Ralph's influence on him suddenly increased a little more.
"Master Aldrich and Captain Brandt have already stated to me your heroic example. But it's not clear what will happen after you are separated from them. I know you may be tired, but could you please describe how you moved after you were separated from them?" Ralph said politely.
"Of course!" Xu Yue nodded calmly, and then said how he destroyed the troll supply point. However, as for the matter of quickly escaping the pursuers by passing through the gate, he only said that he relied on the 'magic burning potion' to thwart the pursuers, and then quietly sneaked back to the troll's supply camp.
"So, you've single-handedly destroyed the troll's supply point! Good, that's in line with what we know. But there were two more problems, one was when the army retreated that night. Did you set off the signals and flames that were interfering with the troll army, and why didn't you return to the city immediately after your mission was over?" asked Ralph sternly.
Regarding the signal of the army's retreat and interference, Xu Yue just thought about it in his heart for a while and understood what was going on. He didn't show the slightest flaw in his expression.
"Those signals were indeed put by me, and I only came up with this method after showing your actions. The signal was previously scavenged from the troll patrol. Those 'magic incendiary potions' were found on the body of the warrior who died before I was in the supply camp. As for why I didn't come back this morning......"
Xu Yue showed a helpless smile and pointed to the wolf bèi costume on his body and said, "After causing enough trouble to those trolls, it is clear that I am hated by them. So I had to run in the opposite direction to barely get out of the trolls. In the absence of the 'Invisibility Elixir'. It's obviously impossible for me to break through the troll blockade. So I found a hidden place to hide for the past three days, and only came back today. ”
Ralph nodded after listening to his words, and what Xu Yue said was basically consistent with what he had learned. In order to be able to investigate the detailed information, he had previously commissioned the Thieves Guild to conduct a detailed investigation on the trolls' side. The thieves of the Thieves' Guild infiltrated the trolls in the guise of a 'transformation potion' and found out a lot of news.
So he believed what Xu Yue said very lightly, after all, judging from the news of the return, the description of the mage who burned the camp was completely consistent with Xu Yue's appearance, and the characteristics of the black-eyed and yellow-skinned Chathner were too easy to recognize.
"Very good! You have done a great job in this war. I have already told Mage Aldrich that the number of items to be selected for this reward has been doubled, and as for you, because you not only completed this mission brilliantly on your own, but also played a great role in assisting the army in retreating, the reward for you will be given after I discuss it with the city lord. I believe that it will surprise you when the time comes. Ralph said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your generosity!" Xu Yue said with a smile and bent down. Then he thought for a moment and asked with some hesitation, "May I ask Lord Ralph, were those trolls repelled or did they retreat on their own, is this war over?"
Ralph paused as he heard him. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Those trolls retreated on their own, but we pursued them in the end, and they paid a great price. As for this war......"
Ralph said helplessly: "The war is not over yet. On the contrary, our troubles have just begun!"
