Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the surface, it is very advantageous for the outlaws to take advantage of this gap to invade the imperial border for the Phinexiu Kingdom, but everyone knows that there are no rich villages and towns on the border of the Andreas Mountains, and even the population resources are very scarce, and the outlaws are not monsters who only want to mate in the spring.
"What, this news is not good, or are you worried that they will come back early after hearing our news?" Valles is from the military, and he is worried that the sea route of Brion City should also be, but Lu Chen also frowned and thought deeply, so Humphreys, who couldn't figure it out, couldn't help but ask.
"It's not good news...... I don't care if they come back to trouble me, I'm afraid that the outlaws will unite for the sake of profit like the ones who attacked us, and they may not belong to the elite of the kingdom. Do you know how many people there will be?" Expressing his worries, Lu Chen asked about Valles, who had revealed the approximate number before.
"Not counting the number of enemies on the top of the cliff, more than 1,600 outlaws have been exterminated today, and about 3,000 have escaped. It is impossible to say how many people were in the entire Andrés Mountains, and from the information obtained from the torture and the information we gathered, it is possible that the outlaws who attacked us this time may have made up only twenty percent of the entire mountain range. Valais didn't want to talk about this because of Lu Chen's declaration, but when he heard that his opinion of the outlaws was the same as his own, and his trust in the Red Thorn Flower, he still told his speculation. Although it is unclear why these girls reformed the Valkyria mercenary group.
"The enemy on the top of the cliff is less than a thousand. We killed more than five hundred. The rest fled. Wei Si quietly added a sentence in Lu Chen's ear about their battle situation.
"Hmm. Let's just count more, we have encountered a total of one legion today, then we still have four legions of enemies to face. "It's like a budget, there is always a lot more estimate, so as not to misjudge and cause confusion when you get it, but the four legions that Lu Chen doesn't care about very much make the mercenaries and soldiers who hear it unbearable.
"Four legions, oh my God. That's not exactly 24,000 people!"
"Our big win today is not even a fraction of what they won't do. ”
"The defenders of Brion City are only one legion, how can this be fought......"
"Even if those magic crystal cannons keep bombing, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop it......"
"This young master doesn't really want to use our people to face the entire Andrés Mountains. ”
"Not necessarily, three boats took down the other party's eighteen boats, and also beat away the thunder eel, with such strength, maybe it will really go crazy. ”
“......”
Rumors always fly fast, and for a while, there was a lot of discussion in the camp, and the joy of victory turned into everyone's worry in an instant.
Humphreys had embarrassment on his face. Valais's expression was very embarrassed, but Mark was still determined. But that was only on his own behalf, and Berscoe beside him was still secretly asking him what to do.
However, this accident happened to Lu Chen's intentions, shrugged his shoulders, and said to them: "It's okay, don't worry, I don't plan to let you face so many enemies, the contract is also clearly written, just accompany me to the end of Diana, then you will return to Brion with all the ships and supplies, it should take less than a week, even if the outlaws hear the news, it will not be possible to arrive when you leave." ”
"And what about you, are you really going to stay there and build a city?" asked Mark, a little anxious. And that's what others want to know.
"Well, if any of you want to stay, check with Abrego, after all, the salary package will definitely change. Oh, by the way, the Flying Whale is an empty ship now, if you want to get back to Brion early, start working overnight, whatever you want, as long as you don't leave the room empty. Okay, I'm tired of the day, I won't accompany you, good night everyone. Lu Chen left what should be tomorrow early, so he hugged Evelyn and turned around and left the camp, and whispered that he could only make do on the shore tonight, and he couldn't experience the waves or anything.
Anyone could guess what he was complaining about, but with the experience of this day, no one would think that he was just a rich aristocratic young master, and after watching the two of them go into the darkness, everyone made their own arrangements. As Lu Chen said, if there is no outlaw to stop him, it will only be a matter of two or three days and nights to fight back and forth in the Diana River, but Valais still seems to have something on his mind when he leaves.
The next day, when Lu Chen boarded the Flying Whale early in the morning, all the preparations had been completed. Each cabin is either full of supplies, or arranged into various cabins, bedrooms, galleys, lounges and so on, if not for the people walking around on it only mercenaries and soldiers, all of them are the same as the cruise ship.
After a quick look at the cabin, Lu Chen, who felt very satisfied, walked to the bridge, ready to let Verona and the others try to control the Flying Whale, but when he returned to the first deck, he was stopped by a "Lord Marquis", and he habitually said "um".
There are many people in the world who are called Luxien, but there is only one person in the kingdom who is linked to the name of the red thorn flower, and with the guess of Verona and them, he naturally guessed the identity of the noble young master in front of him, and then when he heard the other party's admission, Valles seemed to be relieved, and said to himself a little: "That's good, it's really you......"
"What, what's the problem?" was guessed, and he accidentally leaked his mouth again, and Lu Chen didn't hide it, not to mention that this former identity would not affect his trip, but he was very curious when he saw Valles's relaxed appearance.
"No, I just didn't think that you were really the Marquis of Lucien, so they should be members of the Red Thorn Flower, right?~ Is it an order from the kingdom that you came here to build a city?" Although relieved, Valais still asked more.
"Hehe, it looks like I should bring fewer people out in the future. Pretty much, it can also be considered part of the kingdom mission. There was no one else around, and this coastal defense commander was obviously more reliable, so Lu Chen missed some more information, and then asked as if he thought of something: "I understand, it was those words I said to the enemy before that made you feel uneasy, right?" Hehe, it seems that I have a lot of talent for being a bandit." ”
"Ah, no, it's a subordinate who is meddling, your coming here must be a secret of the kingdom, and your subordinates should not guess your identity, please rest assured, Lord Marquis, I will never tell your identity. Hearing that there really was a secret mission, Valles was frightened.
"Without revealing his identity, he inexplicably came to clear the Diana River with a group of masters, and announced that he was the new owner of the Andrés Mountains, which should indeed be suspected. You are supervising the territory for the kingdom, where is there something wrong, but don't tell me my identity yet, I'm afraid of trouble. Alright, go get all the ships behind the Flying Whale and try to reach your destination before nightfall. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately, please rest assured that Lord Marquis. With that, Valais went to arrange it. As for whether what Lu Chen said was true or not, there was no need to doubt it at all, because his status as a marquis was there, and he himself was just a local baron.
I didn't expect that I would say such officialdom one day, looking at Valais, who was going to do things quickly, Lu Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, and at the same time recognized this cautious coastal defense commander in his heart. "The ability to lead the fleet is okay, if he has no problem with his personality, he can just give it to an earl, and he has to take the time to ask those mercenaries what they think of him. Mentally deciding to appoint Valais, Lu Chen continued to walk to the bridge.
