Chapter 191: The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment
"Xiaoqiang, it's the first time I've heard such philosophical words, you shouldn't be the reincarnation of an old man."
As she spoke, Yan Ji, who looked curious, cast a scrutinizing gaze, as if she was looking at a guinea pig.
Seeing this, Xiaoqiang hurriedly shook his head and said.
"I'm not an old man, can't you see that."
Yan Ji nodded and said, "Judging from your soul energy, you are indeed a child, but how did you come up with those words?" ”
"It's very simple, think about it, and things will be figured out."
After listening to Xiaoqiang's explanation, Yan Ji scolded with a smile, "You coax ghosts, do you think I will believe your words?" ”
"If you don't believe it, then I can't help it."
Xiaoqiang is like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and that look is also very funny to Rowling.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you this, you still have to worry about how to solve this war!"
Xiao Qiang said confidently.
"It's very simple, have you forgotten that we still have that second elder in our hands?"
Rowling and Yan Ji both didn't understand what Xiaoqiang meant, and they all showed doubts.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiang said again, "From the previous situation, it can be determined that the second elder must be controlled by the Yin Prince, why can't we use her to make some trouble?" ”
"What do you mean?" Rowling was still puzzled.
Seeing the second daughter's confusion, Xiaoqiang laughed and teased.
"It's said that women have big breasts and no brains, can't you see such a simple question?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the unhappiness of Yan Ji and Luo Lin, the two daughters looked at each other, and instantly understood their respective thoughts, so they saw the two girls look at each other and smile, and walked towards Xiaoqiang, the smiling look is like a villain meeting a beautiful young woman, looking a little funny.
When Xiao Qiang saw it, he suddenly felt that what he said just now was a little brainless, but it was okay to say it to Rowling, but he forgot that he had hurt Yan Ji, and the two women came together, so the next picture can be imagined.
At this moment, the mercenaries in the Elven Forest were all a little depressed, and some of them were covered in bruises, the bandaged gauze was oozing red blood, and the wails also resounded through the camp.
Figures in white magic robes kept shuttling back and forth in the camp, sparing no effort to release their healing magic, but there were too many injured people, even if they used up all their magic and fainted to the ground, they still couldn't treat all the wounded.
The tent in the center of the camp was also in a heavy atmosphere, and everyone sitting at the long table frowned, and their eyes looked at the person in the first place from time to time, but like their expressions, the person's expression was also a sad face.
However, his seemingly contemplative gaze would look at the empty seat at the end, consciously or unconsciously, and there was a certain disappointment in his eyes.
At this time, a mercenary leader said.
"Captain Situ, what do you think we should do next?"
Hearing this, the head of Situ, who was sitting in the first place, sighed deeply, and said helplessly.
"You should also know the news, the Elven City has opened the city protection magic, and with the appearance of the Elven Ancient Tree, with our current strength, it is impossible to attack the Elven City."
The mercenary leader who spoke said with some annoyance.
"We've finally found the city of elves, should we just give up?"
The other regiment leaders present also had a persistence in their eyes that they were unwilling to give up, and they all looked at Regiment Leader Situ, obviously wanting him to have an idea.
Head Situ swept over everyone's faces one by one, still sighing.
"I don't want to give up, but you have all seen the results of the last attack, even if the elves don't turn on the magic of the city protection, we will all suffer heavy casualties, after all, we are not an army, and we can't attack in an orderly manner like an army when facing the elves."
Everyone seemed to hear what Captain Situ meant, and the mercenary leader who spoke before asked.
"What does Commander Situ mean by having all of our mercenary groups under the unified command of one person?"
Situ replied, "That's what I mean, it's just ......." ”
As he spoke, Head Situ swept everyone's eyes, and although he did not continue to speak, the meaning was already extremely obvious.
Everyone is not stupid, and they know the benefits of unified command, but when it comes to their own interests and the lives of their subordinates, they are not willing to become a stepping stone for others.
Therefore, under the words of Commander Situ, everyone was silent, obviously hesitating about something.
Head Situ also expected this situation and said slowly.
"I know what you're worried about, after all, even I have that idea, but you have to understand that the Elf City, as the overlord of the continent a hundred years ago, contains wealth that is not comparable to a principality, think about it, if we can really take the Elven City, whether it is to sell them as slaves, or to seize the wealth in the Elf City, the gold coins obtained are enough for us to enjoy for a lifetime, at that time, do you still need to live this life of licking blood at the tip of the knife?"
As Captain Situ's words fell, the faces of everyone present changed, and the previous hesitation and hesitation disappeared in their eyes, revealing a look of expectation and eagerness.
None of the people present wanted to live a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife, if it wasn't forced by life, they didn't want to stay at home and linger with their wives, but because they had no money, because of the pressure of life and desperate, so they had to leave Gentle Township and embark on a life of hunger and death.
In such a life, the mercenaries have become all gambling, lustful, and even more short-tempered, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they are like a bunch of bandits, but only they know that these are just appearances, and their real purpose is to be appeased in their hearts.
Therefore, every mercenary is reluctant to embark on this path, they think that if they do a big deal one day, or they can go home to retire, but that kind of thing is like catching a lottery, and where is it something that everyone can encounter.
And at this moment, the huge treasure is in front of them, and the mercenary group leader who didn't want to give up has been tempted by Situ, and they have remembered their past experience, and now the long-awaited thing is in front of them, if they let it slip away, they may regret it for a lifetime.
As for the lives of their subordinates, in their selfish opinion, as long as they can live, what does the lives of others have to do with themselves, the big deal can be solved by compensating some gold coins after taking the elven city, and in this world, the price of a human life is not higher than ten gold coins.
After a short period of hesitation, everyone present looked at each other, just a look at each other, everyone understood the meaning in their eyes, so under the leadership of the mercenary leader who spoke before, everyone unanimously agreed to the suggestion of the head of Situ.
