Volume I: Chapter 51 Combat Preparations
"This money is a gift from me, and in return I want you to tell me a little bit about the mercenary guild in Brudick. ”
"You want to join the mercenaries?" asked Kisho Westwood, surprised.
"No, I need to hire a group of people to do things for me. ”
"Oh, okay. Kisho Westwood said lightly, "In fact, the existing mercenaries in Brudick are probably close to more than a thousand teams, because the number of teams is different and the level is different, so the small-scale mercenary team is generally three to five people, and the slightly larger team can reach more than ten people, and among these mercenary teams, there are three relatively large ones; Nash is a magic chanter, the rank is similar to that of adults, and it also belongs to the fourth stage, in his mercenary team, magicians occupy one-third, and there are more than ten third-order users, followed by 'Violent Bear', the regimental leader Bartomi Bear, a fifth-level warrior, has a more irritable personality and is lustful and greedy for money, and the number of his subordinates is also the largest, about more than 400 mercenaries, but seventy or eighty percent are warriors, and there are relatively few magicians, but these people under his command are more bloodthirsty, very difficult to deal with, and finally ' Ice Flower' Oliver Sirili, also a fourth-order high-level magic chanter, it is said that her ice attribute magic is very powerful, although she is a woman, she has never failed a mission, her mercenary team is not large, about fifty people, but her reputation is also absolutely high. ”
"None of these people are natives of Baentu, right?" Yazinger asked.
"No, in fact, there are very few masters in the country of Baentu, whether it is here or in other cities, even the warrior leader of Brudick is only a fourth-level warrior, if it was placed in the past, there may be a higher level of powerhouse, but now there is absolutely none, because many of their powerful masters died in the civil war many years ago. ”
"Is it about the civil war that expelled and conquered the subhumans?"
Kehew Westwood nodded yes.
Yasinger thought about it confidently, it has been nearly a month since he entered Brudick, and he has a relative understanding of Brudick's situation, local soldiers, aristocratic armed forces and mercenaries are the three sources of Brudick's major combat power, because they have interconnected interests, so these three parties have been in a stable state, and now Yasinger has found Buck Nash to say his thoughts, he is not worried about Buck Nash. Nash would do something unfavorable to himself, and on the other hand, if these mercenaries turned against him, it would be much easier to break up Brudick's power.
Thinking of this, Yasinger decided to meet the remaining two people doing research, after all, if he could win an alliance, his chances of winning would be higher.
With the help of Kesh Westwood, Yasinger spent the afternoon meeting with Bartomy Bear and Oliver Brown. Xi Lili, although these two did not give Yasinger a positive answer, but Yasinger is also sure that they are indeed thinking about their own approach, Brudick as one of the two major trading cities in Baentu, the wealth accumulated over the years is definitely a very tempting condition, even if it is ten percent, it does attract them, plus if they choose to help Yasinger, they will be famous, what are mercenaries, they are to collect money to eliminate disasters for others, if Yasinger's incident fails, they still have reason to explain, so it will not be counted as an excessive move。
With everything ready, Yasinger can be regarded as leveraging the interests of the mercenaries, and the next thing he has to do is to contact all the eyes and ears he has laid to prepare to give Brudick a fatal blow, first of all, the boar man Socombe, during this time, Yasinger also knows that Socom, who has been blind in one eye, has been sold several times, and the subhumans he has contacted have accumulated enough, and then Charlotte, who is responsible for collecting the forces of the surrounding subhuman tribes in Castle Town, believes that all the scattered subhuman races around him have gathered in Castle Town to prepare to respond to his call, and finally even if Yasinger's current heart is sick- Dark Night Hexagram, according to his investigation, the elven women who were taken away in the castle town were indeed brought here by the guy named Kulo Dick, the stronghold should be within the administrative district, the elven women are generally more handsome, and they can obtain a lot of value on the black market, so these guys will be strictly imprisoned, what Yasinger needs to do is to surround the administrative district and find Kulo Dick, and rescue those elven women by the way.
Another week, Yasinger met several times with the heads of several important teams of mercenaries during this period, and couldn't resist the temptation of interests, the leaders of the three teams all agreed to assist Yasinger in the battle, but in return, they jointly modified the original conditions, that is, once Brudik was defeated, Yasinger must declare war on Baentu, so that these mercenaries will leave aside the charge of rebellion, at most they are hired by people, and will not be truthful, and secondly, regarding the division of Brudick's wealth, Yasinger must share 64% with the mercenary union, Yasinger occupies six of the floors, and the mercenaries occupy forty percent as a return。
Yasinger did not make unnecessary dissatisfaction with this kind of temporary increase in price, and he was not very interested in Brudick's wealth, as long as he had enough strength, money was not so important, but now the strength of the mercenaries was more important to him, and it was still very cost-effective to spend such a large price in exchange for high combat power.
After solving the alliance with the mercenaries, Yasinger's next step is to contact the Asian coalition army that has been gradually assembled in addition to Brudik, Charlotte really did not disappoint Yasinger, in more than a month, the number of combat strength of the Asian coalition army has reached more than 13,000 people, aliens, halflings, orcs, and humanoids have all been assembled, and at the first time according to Yasinger's instructions, they secretly marched towards Brudick, and at this moment they have arrived at a place not more than forty miles away from Brudick.
Yasinger had sent Kisho Westwood and his sister Tia Westwood out before the war, when the two brothers and sisters saw the Yazen soldiers under Yasinger, they were shocked and didn't know what to say, there has never been a record of humans assisting the Asians to overthrow the human regime in the history of Baentu, I have to say that Yasinger did something beyond imagination.
At the slave market, Yasinger bought Sokom back for twenty silver coins, and at the same time spent a staggering amount of money to buy all the subhuman slaves of the day, a move that shocked the nobles and merchants present.
Yasinger bought a mansion in the corner of the city as his own foothold, and hundreds of bought subhuman slaves also stayed here with him, but many of the subhuman slaves no longer had traces of shackles, replaced by armor and weapons, not only that, all the teams in the mercenaries who had reached an agreement with Yasinger began to buy subhuman slaves and then take them to the mercenary's territory to arm themselves, this move made Brudick's slave market appear for a period of time without slaves for sale。
"How's the preparation? When Yasinger took the purchased slaves back to the manor in a carriage again, his yard was already full of mercenary leaders, Buck Nash, Bartomi Bear, Oliver Silly, etc., who had already discussed the preparations for war, and Yasinger was the first to provoke the war.
"Tonight, I will let my army take the lead in attacking the main gate, and at that time my other subordinates who remain in the city will help guide the army on the periphery, and then you will divide into three ways to guard the other three city gates, you can only enter and not exit, and when the main gate is breached, I will order people to attack the administrative district, and the area under the jurisdiction of the nobles will be handed over to you." ”
Hearing Yasinger's distribution, the mercenaries did not show any dissatisfaction, compared to the heavily guarded administrative districts, those Ba'entu noble guards were much weaker, and this distribution was very fair.
"If you don't have any opinions, then wait for my signal tonight. ”
A cadre of people left from Yasinger's house one after another, Yasinger handed over the command of this place to the boar man Sokom, he has more important things to deal with, breaking through the main gate from the outside, even a surprise attack is very difficult, the coalition army of the subhuman race has just been assembled, there is no actual combat experience, there is still suspicion and distrust between each other, Yasinger must return to the vanguard to take the lead, otherwise it is easy to lead to the first attack force, if that is the case, the other fighters who remain in the city will face annihilation.
Secretly out of Brudick, Yasinger used flying magic to quickly find the place where Charlotte gathered his troops, Charlotte is a very good shadow mage, but she is by no means an excellent general, although in order to make these sub-human coalitions look more manageable, Charlotte will separate the various races for management, but this is a fatal shortcoming in the eyes of Yasinger, a single sub-human race will directly expose the weakness of the real, such as the elves, if the simple elves form an army to attack, the melee weakness of the elves will be directly exposedFor example, an army composed of minotaurs cannot take advantage of their long melee combat advantages in the face of long-range crossbows, so Yasinger immediately sent the elven patriarch Karl Fergus to bring the leaders of several other races and re-organize them.
At present, the number of goblins and elves is the majority, followed by goats, boar people and ape people, and finally the minotaur is the most rare, so Yasinger will rearrange the camp, using a large number of goblins and elves to join a small number of goats and boar people, ape people to assist, and finally add a small number of minotaurs as forward warriors to form a team, so that a mixed combat team is formed, melee has a strong bull head guard, long-range elf guard, and the rest of the subhuman race is responsible for protecting these single combat forces from being disturbed, acting on medium-range combat。
