Chapter 149: The beginning of the farce

Views:

Supply convoys and transporting supplies cannot be taken lightly. Every time the logistics troops enter the Hengduan Valley, the military will dispatch thousands of elite soldiers to protect them along the way. However, although the situation in the mercenary country is tense, its internal power structure is very complex and it is difficult to With the formation of a unified voice, not to mention the strong assistance of the Ta'ao Tiger Mercenary Group, the military department is not worried about any accidents. Facts have proved that the military department's judgment was correct. Since the outbreak of the war, the supplies transported back and forth have never suffered any losses. The reason for being cautious is purely a soldier's instinct, not a sense of danger.

The two caravans made way to the side of the road, allowing the supply troops to pass first. The soldiers of the Shansha Empire looked at the caravans coldly, always prepared for contingency. They were truly elite troops and would not let down their vigilance under any circumstances.

In fact, if we are transporting baggage under normal circumstances, large numbers of people will not be allowed to gather within dozens of miles from the front, rear, and both wings. Unfortunately, this is currently impossible, at least not in the Hengduan Valley. Although the status of merchants is not high, the influence they hold cannot be ignored, and every country has state merchants and private merchants. If they do something here, their own merchants will suffer retaliation. If they are killed here people, then their merchants will also be massacred.

The most important thing is that this is not the territory of the Flash Sand Empire, and it is impossible to block traffic with confidence, otherwise it will cause a strong backlash from the mercenary country. Before capturing Blacknia City, it is better to keep a low profile.

Far away in the town of Mora March, An Fei was sitting under a candle and reading the magic book in his hand. Two girls were making An Fei's bed and spreading incense powder everywhere to cover up the uncleanness of the previous owner. With the odor remaining, Black Eleven strode in with a bit of joy on his face.

"You guys go out first." An Fei said softly.

"Yes, sir." The two girls responded delicately, and then left the room.

"Any results?" An Fei closed the magic book.

"Well, they have already set off. According to the speed at which they are traveling, they will pass by in about five days."

"By the way, are the pig beasts they transported dead or alive?"

"It's dead. The blood will make the griffin beast become emotional, so the griffin knight will generally not feed the griffin with live animals unless there is a last resort."

An Fei fell silent and closed his eyes slightly.

"There are about three thousand elite soldiers protecting the baggage. This number... is too many." Black Eleven smiled bitterly: "It would be great if Chris and Riska were both high-level magisters, otherwise we would use more The magic crystal has arranged several chaotic magic arrays, but we must find other ways, otherwise we will not be able to pose a threat to them."

"You won't say that I wasted magic crystals now?" An Fei said with a smile. When he asked Chris to set up the chaotic magic array for the first time, Black Eleven didn't know what An Fei wanted to do and raised objections. Only later did he understand that it turned out that As long as the garbage magic circle is arranged properly, huge gains can be achieved.

"Do you really want to set up a chaotic magic circle?"

"No, what we have to do is just small things, there is no need to make it so big."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"How many people do you have? I mean the people mixed in with the baggage troops."

"There are three of them. My information came from them."

"Give them my things and tell them to put them into the body of the pig beast no matter what. I don't care what they do. I only want the results, but I must not let the army of the Shansha Empire discover anything unusual."

"Let them do it?" Black Eleven opened his eyes wide.

"Isn't it okay?"

"It's too risky, An Fei!"

"To be honest, I don't want to attack the Griffin Squadron. It's your insistent request. We can take risks, why can't they?"

"That's not what I meant, An Fei. There are more than 400 pig beasts transported by the Shansha Empire this time. If they are allowed to do it themselves, how long will it take? What if others find out?"

An Fei pondered for a moment: "Do griffins eat rotten meat?"

"They only eat fresh meat. They like to tear their prey alive and eat it mixed with blood. As for carrion... they may eat it when they are hungry."

"Will eating carrion affect griffons?"

"What will happen to us if we eat carrion, what will become of griffons, even worse than us. At least we can steam the carrion. Griffins don't eat cooked food."

"Then let's find another way and give this to them." After saying that, An Fei took out a bottle of green **.

"What's this?"

"The rotten potion made by Hagen, this thing can

The body rots quickly and spreads, so sprinkle a few drops on each car. An Fei smiled: "The condition of the griffons can directly affect the combat effectiveness of the griffin squadron. I don't think they will let the griffins eat carrion." "

"If it's just that simple, they should be fine." Black Eleven took the potion: "Then what?"

"Then it's up to you. In five days, you purchase five hundred pig beasts and send them to this place."

"What?" Black Eleven was surprised. The town of Molamaqi is in a remote location, and the aborigines in the town only raise four pig beasts. It is too difficult for him to acquire so many pig beasts in a short period of time.

"You don't have to collect five hundred. Anyway, the more the better, just do your best."

"Then we stuff those things into the pig beast's body and sell them to the soldiers of the Sand Sand Empire?" Black Eleven said with a bitter smile.

"That's it, but we have some details to discuss." An Fei said slowly: "You said that the pig beasts they transported were all dead. It would take seven or eight days from them to their camp. ?How do they ensure that the quality of the meat will not be damaged?"

"Most of the carriages that transport baggage are specially made. The same is true for our Mao Empire. There is a permanent magic array in the carriage. As long as the magic crystal provides energy, the magic array will continue to operate. The magic array will lower the temperature inside the carriage, so As long as the journey is not too far, the things in the carriage will basically not deteriorate."

"Then I'm relieved. Hagen said that if the temperature is not too high or too low, the rotting agent can work." An Fei nodded: "But there are still some problems that give me a headache. They just lost With a batch of pig beasts, we can provide them with pig beasts. Before and after... I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion."

"Of course we can't sell all the pigs and beasts to them at once. We can sell them dozens of them first, and then reveal in our words that we still have stock, but that is for ourselves to eat. The next step is to bargain, haha …Maybe we can make a killing.”

"This method is feasible." An Fei smiled and said: "There is another problem. I don't think the soldiers of the Shansha Empire will feed our pig beasts to the griffons in a daze. They should choose some pig beasts to eat themselves first. This is very difficult to do, what if they find something abnormal?"

Black Eleven was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Don't do anything with the dozens of pig beasts we sold first, so that they won't find out."

"No, if their commander is a very cautious person, he won't just check it once." An Fei shook his head: "We will find out what we did by then."

"What should we do?" Black Eleven sighed. He was a little unwilling to accept that things had come to this point, but they had encountered a bump in the road, but he had to admit that An Fei's concerns were reasonable. It was better to be embarrassed now than to expose the secret later.

The atmosphere in the room became silent. After a long time, An Fei said, "It seems I'm going to do another experiment."

"What test?"

"Tell me, what's the difference between the pig beasts eaten by humans and the pig beasts eaten by griffons?" An Fei smiled.

Black Eleven suddenly felt his eyes light up and looked at An Fei with admiration: "One is cooked and the other is raw!"

"I hope that the magic potion prepared by Hagen will lose its effectiveness after cooking, so that things will be easier to handle. If not, we can also think of ways to deal with the two words 'raw' and 'cooked'." An Fei said with a smile. : "People come up with solutions, so you don't have to worry."

"An Fei, if we can successfully annihilate the Griffin Squadron, no one in the Ma'ao Kingdom will forget you!"

"Your words make my scalp numb." An Fei laughed and said, "If you want to say that you will never forget me, I believe you are exaggerating."

"I..." Black Eleven's face turned red.

"Besides, what we did was nothing more than a trivial matter in terms of the entire war."

"His Majesty said that sometimes a small thing is enough to determine the outcome of a war!"

"Forget it, if you don't say this, you should seize the time to send away the rotten potion. Tell your people to do it on the third or fourth day starting from today, so that the people of the Shansha Empire will not be able to turn back. I can only find a way to buy the pig beast on the spot."

"I understand, An Fei, do you have any other questions?"

"There are still some small problems and details. I'll think about it myself." An Fei said slowly.
