Chapter 150: Teamwork

Views:

Jedda followed Minter to the South District with only Shaide as his entourage. Along the way, everyone saw the Noga noble attire he was wearing, and they all looked sideways, their eyes full of surprise and wariness. Jada calmly allowed everyone to look at her, but she was secretly glad in her heart.

Noga and East have not had a war for more than a hundred years. Even if there are some small conflicts, there will be casualties on each other, but it is not serious. And thanks to Prince Mario's notoriety, almost all the responsibilities are taken by him. The load went. The offensive and defensive battle fought before was actually just a test and did not cause heavy casualties. I believe there will not be much resistance to this negotiation. I only hope that the commander of East is a smart and rational person.

When they arrived at the East Army garrison, Commander Norward was already waiting in front of the house. Mallory stood behind him in a low-key manner, quietly sizing up Jada, with a clear look between the two of them. A group of senior officers who hurried over after hearing the news stood on the side in surprise, looking at Jada with vigilance in their eyes. Minte noticed that his uncle Elon was also present, and slowly fell behind.

Jada recognized Noward's identity at a glance. When she walked three meters away from him, a young Iraqi officer reached out to stop him, but Noward stopped him. He looked at Jada indifferently and said, "I'm glad you can come. Your Excellency, I must say that this is the best choice you have ever made."

Jada smiled slightly: "We have reached this point. I only have this way to go, right? I hope your army can put aside all grudges and fight against the enemy together with our army." Noward raised his eyebrows and made an invitation gesture. : “Please come inside and talk. "Jeda nodded slightly and strode forward. Shade quickly followed. Before entering, a young officer asked them to leave their weapons outside. Shade angrily wanted to yell back, but was stopped by Jieda, who was very cooperative. The ground handed over the waist knife, and Xie De had no choice but to endure it.

The officers who stayed outside the house were all shocked and confused. I don't know what Noward wants to do. Elon grabbed Mallory: "Honestly, Lao Mai, are you hiding something from us?! What on earth is the marshal going to do?!"

Mallory glanced at him lightly: "The latest report sent this morning should have been delivered to everyone's room. Didn't you see it?"

When the officers nearby heard it, several of them immediately ordered their adjutants to go back and get the report. Elon still wanted to pester Mallory to ask questions, but then Marshal Norward's adjutant came out and announced: "The Marshal said that this matter is of great importance. You can come together to listen and help think of a solution."

The officers stepped in the door after hearing this. Yilong hesitated for a moment and then followed. A trace of boredom flashed across Mallory's eyebrows, and he turned around and walked to Minte: "Follow me." Minte immediately followed him into the house and turned into a quiet corridor.

Don't wait for Mint to describe last night's experience. Mallory asked right away: "What on earth attacked the Noga Army in the middle of the night? Their entire military camp was burned down. Is the loss heavy? What is the real purpose of Duke Jedda?"

Min Te hurriedly recounted what happened, and then said: "I speculate that those monsters are probably Warcraft from the Demon Realm. My grandfather once fought Snowfield Warcraft in the Elf Forest. I saw it once. They looked a bit similar, but These monsters are not as powerful as the snowfield monsters. They are afraid of fire. Because there are too many monsters, and there are probably a group of them in Nomonka. Jada is not sure that the Noga Army can resist alone, so she comes to ask for help, but the specific idea is He didn't say."

"Warcraft..." Mallory narrowed his eyes. Thoughtful and authentic. "Esparo is actually related to the Demon Realm again... The shadow behind him is always changing. This time... he should be the real mastermind, right? The Demon Realm has been coveting the mainland for more than a day or two. But it has been In the past, because of Fan A's intimidation, they were relatively safe. This time..." He suddenly opened his eyes wide. Then he spoke slowly. "This time Esparo actually introduced those demons to the mainland because of his own ambition. It's really..." He trailed off. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Minte snorted coldly: "That guy is so crazy! He actually forgot that he still has relatives here!"

"He is no longer a relative of ours." A male voice came from not far away. Minte looked back. It turned out to be Alben, the heir to the Heda family, and his brother Etta. Both of them looked pale. He strode over with his mouth tightly pursed. He slightly pointed his head at Mallory. Then he strode towards the room where the meeting was being held. Just walked more than twenty steps. Alben suddenly stopped. Turning around and looking at Minte: "You are the one who saved me last time, right? The expression is different. I almost didn't recognize it. Although it's a little late, I still want to say thank you." After that, he bent down solemnly and said Noble ceremony. Then he turned around and walked into the room. Behind him, Etta also raised her hand and grabbed the brim of her hat and nodded. Then I followed him.

Mint blinked. Cough slightly. Turning back to Mallory, he said: "When Esparo threatened Duke Jedda this morning, he once said that he would sweep across the continent. Their goal will never be just a small Siko. If we refuse Noga's request for help. After they are all killed by the monsters, it will be our turn!" There was a pause. He added: "Esparo also mentioned that a group of about forty monsters are coming here. Even Nomonka's group is included. I don't know how many there are! I think he is probably just using Noga. The army just transported these monsters secretly. Now the goal has been achieved. I probably don’t care whether the Nuojia Army agrees. Boss, what should we do?"

Mallory turned around silently. Go to the room where the meeting will be held. Go faster and faster. Minte quickly followed.

Once outside the room. Open the door. Minte heard that many East officers were questioning Jada's purpose. They sat around Jada. Stare at him with an appraising look. It seemed that he wanted to prove that he had bad intentions when he came to seek peace this time.

Among them, Yilong spoke the loudest: "...This request is too ridiculous! Who knows where those monsters came from?! You wanted to attack us yesterday, and the camp was burned down at night, so you came to ask for peace and asked us to follow Do you work together to deal with those monsters that you can’t deal with?! If you’re asking for peace, you have to be at least somewhat sincere, right? If you refuse to agree to all the conditions, are you kidding us?!”

Jada just sat quietly, looking directly at Noward, not caring what others said.

Seeing his delay in responding, Yilong felt that he was being slighted. He was about to curse a few more times, but was stopped by Noward: "Okay, Count Cardo, please remember. I am the supreme commander!"

Yilong was stunned, and his face turned red in the blink of an eye. He opened his mouth to argue, but saw that the other officers who were originally on his side lowered their heads, and even the people who had the best friendship with him pretended to be Tsukuru was reading the report sent by his adjutant ten minutes ago. He was angry in his heart, but he understood that based on his qualifications. There was no comparison with Old General Noward and Ben, so he had no choice but to sit down muttering.

Jada said: "It seems that you have made a decision." He noticed Mint exchanging glances with the white-haired man who had just entered the door outside the door, and now he saw the white-haired man whispering in Noward's ear. After talking so much, Minte stood guard by the door again, knowing that the other party must have conveyed everything to the supreme commander of the East Army.

Noward nodded in recognition: "I know the importance of the matter very well. So, since Your Excellency the Duke has come to ask for help, what do you want to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the officers looked at him in surprise. He glanced coldly, and they lowered their heads again.

Jada turned a blind eye: "The initial form of those monsters is like insects, with a hard shell. The sharp claws are almost invulnerable, but they move slowly and are afraid of fire. Their eyes and throat are weak points. The mutated monsters move quickly, The eyes and throat are no longer weak points, and they can even jump high, but the outer shell is not as hard as before. And they are still afraid of fire, but their speed has accelerated, and fire will not easily pose a threat to them." At this point, he glanced at Minte At a glance, "Before dawn, we fought with the monsters. The only monster we killed was killed with the help of your security agency agent Min Te. It must have been magic, right?"

Everyone turned their attention to Minte. He was a little nervous and said hurriedly: "It's a basic earth movement technique. I made a low wall to block the head of the monster to prevent it from crawling in."

"That's it." Jada continued, "I had an idea after I found out about it. The long row of earth walls you built overnight in the western suburbs also used magic to get the ground, right? If you use this... ground Use magic to trap the monsters in one place, set them on fire, and you will be able to burn them to black ashes!"

Noward's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! As long as the wall is high and thick enough, they can be trapped!" He turned to ask Mallory. "The magician is the one you found. Can he do it?" Mallory said hurriedly: "That's a great magician. He should be able to do it."

Noward nodded with satisfaction, and Jada secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. At this time, a person suddenly rushed in from outside the door: "Report!" But it turned out to be Will, "Marshal, boss, the news we just found out is that dozens of carriages are driving from Noga territory to the western suburbs. Stopped outside the earthen wall, driving the car were Noga soldiers, and the leader was Sargent, their chief of palace guards!"

Elon jumped up: "This is a trap! You just lied to us!"

Jada ignored his words, just widened her eyes and clenched her fists. Minte hurriedly said to Norward and Mallory: "It must be undead magic! Otherwise it is fake! Last night Duke Jada and I saw Sargent being killed by a monster. How could he be resurrected?!"

"Humph!" Elon sneered, "Who knew you..." "That's enough!" Noward lowered his face and stared at Elon until he shut up, then nodded to Min, and then said to Jada, "It seems that we too They are also targeting the same target. Only by working together can we eradicate those monsters. But now things have changed. The monsters are scattered everywhere. How can we trap them? "

"This... is not difficult..." Mallory thought thoughtfully, "Didn't it mean that where there is a wall, the monsters can't get over it? Just use the basic seismic technique to drive them to the predetermined place. "

Min Te hurriedly said: "Yes, magic apprentices like me can use the seismic technique. Xiko is a distribution center for magic materials and potion materials. There must be many magicians or apprentices here. We can Invite them all here, so that the great magician can save some magic power to use on the earthen wall that surrounds the monsters!"

Noward smiled approvingly: "That's a good idea! Your name is Minter? What's your last name?"

Mint was about to say something, glanced at Elon, and closed his mouth. If he said his surname was Xiao Kaduo, the uncle would definitely be bombed.

Mallory coughed knowingly: "He is one of ours."

Noward immediately knew that he was asking a rash question and quickly changed the topic: "I'll leave the magician's affairs to you. Please invite a few more people." Mallory nodded in agreement.

Eta, who had been quiet at this time, suddenly interjected: "We transported four artillery pieces from the northern fortress. Although the number is small, the accuracy is good. After the Warcraft is trapped by the earth wall, we can use the artillery to attack the oil tanks or other The flammable items were shot into the wall, making the fire burn even more fiercely!" Alben, who was next to him, looked dim when he heard this and said nothing.

Jada also said: "We in the Nuojia Army have the most outstanding horse archers and the best archery skills! We are responsible for shooting rockets and can also light fires everywhere to prevent the monsters from crawling to other places."

"Very good!" Noward quickly organized the battle plan in his mind, then stood up and said, "The Security Agency is responsible for reconnaissance and should report the latest news at any time."

"Yes Yes"

"Mallory goes to the magicians. The more people there are, the better. Tell them the plan and let them act in unison according to the orders."

"Okay, Your Majesty the Marshal." "Eta, go prepare the artillery and oil cans - just buy the oil from the residents, use the kind that burns the brightest, little Earl of Alban...don't you have a batch that just arrived? Food? Send it to the logistics department."

"Yes Yes."

Noward then assigned tasks to his officers, including preparing weapons and supplies, maintaining order in the town, appeasing the people's emotions, etc. Finally, he said to Jada: "You must be very clear about your tasks, so I don't need to say more. As I said, please be sure to prevent the monsters from escaping in other directions. Once this is over, please exit Xiko."

Jada looked at him, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she slowly lowered her head: "I understand. But... the people of the North District have been living here for many years, please don't drive them away."

"Your Excellency the Duke has misunderstood. We will not let people invade our own country's territory, nor will we invade other people's land."

Jada's face turned slightly red, she bowed and turned to leave, with Shade quickly following behind. Minter glanced at Mallory and stayed where he was.

Noward clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "Okay! Let's go to work! Remember, there is not much time. We must be ready before the sun goes down. Everyone! Please take this battle seriously, we are not helping Noga, But we are protecting ourselves!" After saying this, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.

Everyone left the room to do their own work. Minte walked at the end, but heard Noward calling Elon and said harshly: "Can you stop saying stupid things?! This is a war! You don't understand. Just shut up! If you keep talking, I don’t care who you are!"

Yilong saw that there were still many colleagues outside the door, and he was ashamed and angry. The military generals he had met in Yitong were all very polite to him for the sake of his father. How could they curse him so directly? But when he thought of the other party's prestige, he had no choice but to bow his head and respond, while cursing in his heart.

Noward could see what he was thinking at a glance, and sneered: "What are you still doing here? Look at the soldiers who don't have to fight! Don't let me find out what's wrong! Do you hear me?! Otherwise, I will definitely help Earl Xiao." Teach your son a lesson!" After a pause, he added disdainfully: "Earl Xiao is a great hero, how do you deserve to be called his son?!"
