A full half a month has passed since that meeting. During these days, Enleco was very busy. All the tasks that were originally handled by his father were now piled in front of him. Although there were Xiaoyun and Kaz, And the hotel owner helped, but Enleco was far from as diligent as his father, and he had long felt a little impatient.
The only thing he was interested in was the mercenary training camp built next to the hospital. Since that meeting, Enleco built the mercenary training camp. In fact, the entire training camp is a huge magic circle. Those who live and train in it every day are all carefully selected by Enleco. The stronger young people are all magicians trained here, and those aristocratic little magicians have become the natural instructors there.
Of course, this kind of training method is not what Enleco can think of. In fact, this is also the proposal of Most. This was originally the method used by the demons to train the human magic army. It is just compared with the magic army of the year. Come on, the current human magic qualifications are much worse. According to Most's own words, they are all defective, and people like Enleco are obviously the inferior among defectives.
In addition to teaching Enleco this unique training method, Most also told him how to use these relatively weak low-level magicians. These people were divided into several groups according to their talents and specialties, and each group specialized in For a specific kind of magic, some are practicing the rapid gathering of fire elements, some are training to control the wind elements, and some are learning the use of the most basic fireball magic in fire magic, with the help of magic arrays , all operations have become simpler. It originally took several years of hard work to gain results, but now in just half a month, initial results have been achieved.
Throughout the training, what is really difficult to master is the cooperation between each other. Some people continue to gather fire magic elements, while others convert these gathered fire elements into flame balls, and then those nobles The magicians further compressed these flame balls into powerful explosive bombs, and finally used special wind magic to push the explosive bombs five to six hundred meters away.
This kind of magic is almost as powerful as the advanced fire magic "Explosive Thunder", but to cast "Explosive Thunder" requires at least reaching the level of a high-level magician, and ordinary magicians are absolutely powerless. And even high-ranking magicians are unable to continuously use high-level magic like "Explosion and Thunder". The amount of magic energy consumed by this kind of magic is too much for an individual.
The method provided by Most suddenly solved the problems of gathering magic energy, shaping fire elements, high-density compression of fire elements, and sending them over long distances, gathering the power of several people to share the large amount of magic that needs to be consumed. Energy and extremely difficult magic manipulation skills. It's just that close cooperation is the key to the success of this combination of magic. Enleco can no longer remember how many explosions occurred during the training process, although Enleco customized it for each magic academy. Although they have special powerful fire defense armor, terrible explosions still occur from time to time. Fortunately, the hospital is right next to it, so there are no serious injuries or disabilities in the academy. However, the fearful magic students still gave Enleco the title of "Devil's Imperial Envoy".
However, although everyone complained, no one proposed to withdraw from mercenary training. There was a long queue at the entrance of the training camp, and there was an endless stream of people applying to participate in the training, many of whom were children of nobles and wealthy businessmen. Some knights even came in to join in the fun.
Although Enleco was relatively enthusiastic about the training of the Magic Mercenary Group in the initial stage, once the training got on track, he no longer needed to personally supervise it every day. The rich lady of the Sheriff was fully capable of the job. Instructors do this work. What's more, Bertina has specially dispatched a group of experienced goddess believers to provide emergency treatment to the wounded injured by the explosion at any time. On the other hand, these wounded people who kept appearing became the best test subjects for these goddess believers. Many novel and effective emergency rescue methods emerged from the close discussions between the two parties, which was something Bertina had never expected. .
And Enleco's interest has already returned to magic practice. Because this guy suddenly discovered a kind of magic that is suitable for people with his physique to practice, and that is necromancy magic. Enleco tried to persuade himself that it was not out of damn curiosity, but entirely to avenge his father in the future, so he must master a powerful magic that can be used in actual combat.
His original magic is quite suitable for teaching some ungrateful people, but it is completely useless when used on the battlefield of life and death. Only Most can teach him the magic that can really be used to kill enemies. The move "Dark Dragon Grab". But that move was powerful, but there was no way to deal with groups of enemies. What's more, none of the magic Most taught him was easy to use. The lengthy spell made Enleco lose his patience. This kind of magic is of little use on the battlefield.
There are some very useful things in the necromancy magic that Trode taught him. Let’s take the most basic skeleton summoning as an example? Although this kind of magic is simple, it is a very practical magic just like the simplest fireball in fire magic and the more basic wind blade in wind magic. Enleco only needs to find a way to increase the power of this magic, but there is a guy who is very good at improving magic, and that is Most.
Since the death of his father, Enleco has lost the wise guidance of this elder. For a moment, it seems that many things cannot be done. And every time this time, he thinks of the monster Most, Like his father, Enleco has always trusted Most's wisdom, but Enleco always has to think a few more times every time he accepts Most's proposal, so as not to be fooled by Most.
However, Most was indeed of great help to Enleco. Just like the matter of improving the skeleton summoning magic, Most was extremely enthusiastic about helping (this made Enleco quite suspicious of Most's motives). Most taught Enleco how to make a device called hellfire, which was originally the core component used to create traps in the previous magic wars. But Most used it to strengthen the power of those skeletons. Of course, this magic also has shortcomings. Skeleton soldiers strengthened by hellfire will be burned into a pile of ashes by the scorching flames soon after use. However, Enleco is not aware of this shortcoming. He didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, by the time the skeleton soldier turned to ashes, it would have already killed a lot of soldiers, and if there were corpses, he could continue to summon the skeleton soldiers.
In order to simplify the steps of casting this hellfire skull summoning magic, Enleco asked Most to help split the skeleton summoning, hellfire creation, and hellfire skeleton generation into three completely independent magics. Of course, this was also derived from Most. Inspired by the unique magic regiment training method. However, Most was not very interested in this proposal, because in this way, the power of the skeleton would be weakened a lot. However, Enleco didn't care about it at all. Anyway, what he had to deal with was just ordinary thieves. Regiment, not the elite magical corps trained by the gods in the war between gods and demons. It doesn't matter if they are weaker.
Although, during the recent period, everything Enleco did was quite smooth. Under the guidance of Most and with the help of those little magicians, the magic mercenary group was successfully formed. However, due to the recent tense situation, originally The ordinary mercenaries who were trained were loaned by wealthy businessmen to serve as their personal bodyguards or to train mercenaries. Even the county governor invited the mercenaries to form a village guard group. Because of this, Mercenaries suddenly became a fashionable profession, and as a mercenary instructor, Enleco had to face both wind and rain during this period. In order to protect his own life, those wealthy businessmen gave him money and things. Don't be stingy. However, all this does not make Enleco happy, because the more those wealthy businessmen rely on him and his mercenaries, it means that the county guard has never controlled the situation.
※※※
To be honest, when such a serious situation occurred, the county guard should logically ask the court for instructions quickly and the court would send reinforcements. However, this would mean that the county guard's ability is low and he is not qualified to be the head of a county. What's more, What's more, two imperial envoys are currently stationed in Stryer County. As long as the imperial court orders it, any imperial envoy can immediately take his place. Therefore, how can the county governor dare to ask the imperial court for reinforcements? The only thing he could do was to ask for help from his old boss, Duke Haguero, and Prime Minister Someret. But even if they mobilize manpower to reinforce Stryer County, it will take at least a month.
However, the governor's originally planned scouts and patrol cavalry did not bring him any news about the Blood Fox Thieves Group, and even the scattered miscellaneous bandits disappeared without a trace. . However, the intelligence coming from the pass showed that the bandits did not retreat to the desert. After all, entering the desert from Stryer County, one must pass through the Tason Plain and then enter the desert through the Mechemia Basin at the border with the Kingdom of Feltillan. Those two places There was simply no way to hide the traces.
Therefore, all signs indicate that the thieves group is still staying in Stryer County, but Stryer County is full of high mountains and ridges. It is too easy to find a place to hide. The county guard has already sent out all the wind magicians he can call. Every day I searched everywhere in the air, but couldn't find even a single clue. Of course, this is not because those magicians didn't try their best. My brother-in-law, the chairman of the Strayer County Magic Association, personally went out to search for it for half a month, but still couldn't find any clues.
Since the thieves group cannot be found, we can only hope to find the supply points left by the thieves group when they enter and exit the desert. After all, they will never buy food and grass openly, and this raid is definitely a big operation that has been planned for a long time. It would be impossible to prepare so completely in just a few months.
A total of six to seven thousand people came in from those thieves groups, including people and horses, and they must consume a lot of items every day. Therefore, it is absolutely certain that the Blood Fox thieves group will not be silent for much longer. They will definitely have something to do recently. Action, just waiting for others to attack, this feeling is not pleasant. In order to find the main force of the thieves group as soon as possible, the county guard sent more scouts and patrol cavalry, and organized a large search team to comprehensively search several nearby mountains. He fully hoped to find the Blood Fox Thieves Group. If he couldn't find these people, he would even find a supply point.
However, this large-scale search did not achieve the expected results, and the thieves group was still missing.
The Sheriff became more and more anxious about this situation. The same tense and uneasy atmosphere spread from the county magistrate's office to the entire Governor's Mansion, and then to every corner of Chengdaville City.
The originally noisy and prosperous city of Chengdaville has now become a worried and melancholy city. The only people in this city who can still laugh and enjoy life are Miss Milinda and her ignorant subordinates.
This young lady has nerves like wires. Nothing in front of her can affect her in the slightest. She still has to hold the dance as always. At the beginning, the nobles and nobles of Stryer County came to cheer and flatter her, but as time went on, The tension permeating the entire Chengdaville is getting thicker and thicker. No one has the intention to attend any dances. Therefore, Milinda can invite fewer and fewer guests, but she never cares about this. Anyway, the knights under her One of us is more noisy than five or six people, so we never feel left out.
Enleco attends Milinda's dance every time, but he doesn't like this kind of entertainment that is incompatible with his life. On the one hand, Enleco uses this to escape from a lot of troubles that he should have dealt with. On the other hand, the sumptuous food at the ball is what really attracts Enleco. During this inspection, Milinda was far more prepared than Enleco. She even brought out her own cooks to cook delicious meals for herself. In this respect she was very much like her brother.
Enleco, who was sitting alone in the corner, holding a full bowl of delicious food in his hand, was enjoying the interesting scene in front of him while tasting the food.
On the dance floor in the center of the hall, Milinda was wearing an elegant and gorgeous dress, dancing with another person. This was not a big deal at first, but the dance partner was also a young and beautiful girl, which was quite strange. , but Enleco has seen such scenes so much that he gradually became accustomed to it.
In fact, after so many dances, Enleco has never seen Milinda dance with a man.
The melodious music floated throughout the hall, making Enleco forget his worries for a moment. The thieves group and the urgent documents that needed to be processed all disappeared for a while in the beautiful music.
While Enleco was enjoying the beautiful music leisurely, the music quickly changed two tunes and ended. Enleco knew that Miss Milinda was not interested in dancing anymore. Enleco had always been strange, Mi How did Miss Linda take care of the musicians and end the music? Enleco had been paying attention for a long time, and he had never seen any gestures or signals made by Milinda.
Just as Enleco was driven by his curiosity to figure out this problem, Milinda gradually walked towards him.
Enleco didn't dare to accept the advice of this female imperial envoy. The encounter at the Victory Day celebration still left Enleco with lingering fears. So when he saw Milinda walking towards him, Enleco felt uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, Milinda did not get as close to him this time as she did at the celebration last time. Obviously, this young lady with eccentric interests was not very interested in Enleco, who was dressed in men's clothing. However, the first words from her mouth proved that this charming young lady still misses Miss Fenasia.
"Mr. Enleco, do you know where there is another imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty the Emperor?" Milinda asked.
"I... I don't know, how could I know?" Enleco said awkwardly.
"How could you not know? Don't worry, I won't eat her. I just have some official matters that I need to discuss with her," Milinda explained.
Enleco thought, discussing official business? Who believes it? But in terms of face, Enleco always makes sense. So he said in a nonchalant voice: "I really don't know her whereabouts. There are only two people around me, Bertina and Kaz. You should be very aware of this matter. If there is someone hiding beside me, it is impossible for others to not know about it." Yes, isn't it?"
"Who knows this? Your Majesty has great powers, so what is impossible?" Milinda thought for a moment, then mysteriously leaned into Enleco's ear and said, "Do you know? Her Majesty the Queen Mother Kobe Leo has been ordered to bring his niece into the palace. The Queen Mother wants to see the beauty in person. Her Majesty the Queen Mother is going to officiate the wedding of this young lady. All preparations have already begun. She will be there as soon as she returns to Beijing. work."
When Enleco heard the news, he immediately became confused, but fortunately, Milinda thought that Enleco was panicked because he suffered a heavy psychological blow from hearing the news, so he did not reveal his flaws.
Milinda continued: "Now I am the only one who can help that young lady get out of the predicament she is in. I can ask His Majesty the Emperor to come forward and suppress this matter for the time being. However, the appropriateness of it will of course have to wait until those young ladies come forward in person. Only then can I have a good discussion with her."
Hearing what Milinda said, Enleco murmured in his heart, is there such a good thing? Isn’t that like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth? Aren’t you the same as Hagrid? Being with you is just more dangerous.
Thinking of this, Enleco smiled and said: "Miss Milinda, if I am lucky enough to meet that lady, I will convey your kindness to her."
Milinda was not angry when she saw Enleco looking so distant. She sighed softly and said, "You still don't believe me or my good intentions."
At this point, she paused, slowly raised her arm and asked: "Great Mr. Magician, can I ask you to dance?"
※※※
Enleco was frightened by this eccentric young lady. Although Enleco was not willing to get too close to this beautiful lady, according to the etiquette of a beautiful woman, she would be embarrassed to refuse, so Enleco reluctantly accepted the invitation.
Along with the melodious music, the two people danced gracefully accompanied by countless extremely surprised looks around them.
To be honest, after being trained by Her Royal Highness the Princess and Countess Mellis, Enleco can definitely be called a palace music and dance master. However, when this master thought about how much hardship he suffered in order to practice this kind of dance, He was not happy at all, not to mention that the person dancing with him now was such a strange "eldest sister". Because of this, the expression on Enleco's face has always been incompatible with words like happy and happy.
Of course, another reason why Enleco was waiting in pain for the dance to end was that while dancing with him, this charming lady kept asking him, "What gift does Miss Fenahia like? Where does Miss Shia like to go to play, where is Miss Fenasia now..." Questions like this.
Enleco really didn't know how to answer this young lady. He could only hum and haha and use some vague answers to get through. He really looked forward to the dance ending soon. However, the musicians obviously got the hint from this "eldest sister". The dance music was really not that long. After dancing to the song, Enleco's feet were a little sore.
"Miss Milinda, I really can't dance anymore. Please allow me to leave temporarily," Enleco said.
"Okay, there is a pretty beautiful garden behind, let's go there and rest for a while," Milinda said.
After saying that, the lady made a gesture, and the attendants who had been standing aside quickly got busy. They used a large silver disc to hold several glasses of fine wine, a can of drinks, and several plates of exquisite snacks. First, Go to the back garden to get ready.
When everything was arranged, Miss Milinda was so attentive that she took Enleco to the garden.
Seeing the two of them being so intimate, everyone was shocked.
"This... this... the sun has come out from the west? This... eldest sister... why has she changed her appearance?" A knight under Milinda said in great surprise.
"It turns out that the eldest sister's interest is like this. Does this count as an old cow eating young grass?" Monkey asked.
"You can ask the elder sister yourself, if you have the courage," a guy interjected.
"However, I really admire that little guy. He is really capable of making the eldest sister's hair look like this. It was only today that I saw the eldest sister's hair look a bit feminine for the first time." Monkey said with emotion.
Not to mention the discussion in the banquet pavilion, Enleco, accompanied by Miss Milinda, came to the small garden at the back. Perhaps because it is located in the south, the plants here grow particularly vigorously, and the lawn on the ground is The green color is like a gorgeous velvet carpet, with two or three cannas swinging their broad leaves, revealing bright and huge flowers. The green vines covering the flower stand cover up all unnatural things. It is full of natural vitality and there are not many traces of artificial carving. Enleco has always been interested in this pattern.
The two of them wandered leisurely in this beautiful and peaceful garden, while the other people had already learned their interest and moved away.
Milinda picked up the can of drink on the silver plate, poured it into the cup gently, then picked up the cup and handed it to Enleco. She looked like a gentle and virtuous hostess, and there was no trace of it at all. She turned out to be a female pervert famous in Kaoqi.
To be honest, Enleco has always been curious about this Miss Milinda. I don’t know why Enleco always feels that there are two completely different faces hidden behind this lady. One is a person who is elegant and plays the game of life. The countess is omnipotent, bold, shameless and eccentric. And what does the other face look like? Is this the gentle and considerate way you are now
When Enleco paid attention to Miss Milinda, the lady also kept staring at him. This made the young magic apprentice apprentice feel very uncomfortable.
"Miss Milinda, what is your relationship with His Majesty the Emperor?" Enleco asked. He was not particularly interested in this issue, but if he didn't find a topic to talk about, the lady would I have to chase myself and ask those questions about "Miss Fenasia" again.
This trick was indeed effective. Milinda didn't expect that someone would ask herself such a question. She hadn't considered this question herself? Therefore, she frowned and thought for a long time before replying: "What is the relationship between your Miss Fenasia and Hegeero, and what is the relationship between me and His Majesty the Emperor."
Milinda looked at Enleco's embarrassed look and smiled and said: "Of course, there are still some differences. If His Majesty the Emperor proposes to me, I will definitely agree. The Emperor and my brother need this kind of marriage. The union, as for myself, it doesn’t matter whether we get married or not.”
Milinda saw Enleco's confused look and smiled: "You still don't know how romantic the atmosphere of the Kaoqi Kingdom is? The right to pursue love in Kaoqi will not be lost by getting married. , as long as they don’t make it public, both husband and wife will generally keep silent about it, so many girls who they didn’t catch before will generally catch them if they continue to pursue them after they get married.”
Milinda smiled and faced Enleko, who looked at her with her mouth wide open and said in surprise: "I know, this is difficult to understand for you Sophie benefactors, but in Kaoqi, this is normal, marriage And love can be two completely different things. Take you and Miss Fenacia as an example. Even if Hagrid, the big pervert, wins in the end and marries that little beauty, you can still secretly communicate with that lady. , Hegeello has no authority to prohibit it.”
"Then why are you trying so hard to grab it?" Enleco couldn't help but ask. As soon as he said this, the guy regretted it.
"Hagelo has fallen in love with your little lover, and of course he wants to marry your little lover. Your little lover is indeed outstanding, and I have fallen deeply in love with her. Moreover, I and Hagelo There is still a competition between us. If I win, Hegeello will not have the face to marry that lady, so if you are worried about your little lover, why not give her to me. If you are afraid of suffering a loss, we We can exchange... What do you think?" Having said this, Milinda slowly came closer and pressed against Enleco's back gently, and her plump breasts gently touched Enleco's shoulders slowly. Rubbing.
This fragrant scene made the young magic apprentice trainee's brain congested. Enleco couldn't help but think of the scene that happened in the small living room on the day of the Victory Day memorial. Although that time was quite embarrassing to him, it was undeniable that that time The experience was indeed exciting. Every time he thinks about it, Enleco still has an indescribable feeling.
Now that he was treated like this again, Enleco was really reluctant to leave, so he did not refuse Miss Milinda's attentive service and continued to ask: "So, where is your brother? I think he seems to be right...
Yes... That's interesting. Why don't you help your brother? "
Miss Milinda picked up a piece of delicate pastry and gently put it into Enleco's mouth. While continuing to twist Enleco's body, she said: "My brother is different from Haguero. He doesn't He will like anyone, but he only likes himself. For your little lover, he only appreciates it. He only appreciates it, but he will marry your little lover back and appreciate it slowly. But if you can reconcile with him, Maybe he will let your little lover go. My brother is a very realistic person. If you are willing, I can help you connect. I am also very realistic. I only need to spend a short time with that little beauty. Just a good time worth remembering. Your little lover is still yours. Of course, if you are worried that I will hurt your little lover, you can also join in. I can teach you two many interesting things. How? Sample?"
※※※
As she spoke, Milinda's small lips came to Enleco's ear, and her soft tongue gently licked Enleco's earlobe, making Enleco have wild thoughts. Ke couldn't help but have the urge to hold this beautiful "big sister" tightly in his arms, but even though he thought about it, he didn't dare to do it. That is the future of the Kaoqi Kingdom.
Therefore, Enleco broke away from Milinda's arms and asked: "If you mess around with me like this, how will you deal with His Majesty the Emperor in the future?"
Milinda looked at Enleco, and of course she understood what this big boy Sophie meant. She smiled and said: "What does it matter? Back then, Your Majesty, my brother, Haguero, and I still There were several other people who went crazy together for a period of time, and that was called crazy at that time. It’s not like His Majesty the Emperor didn’t know about it, and who in the Kaoqi Kingdom cares about this? Let alone before marriage, even after marriage, you can maintain an intimate relationship. If If you want, you can be my only male lover, I can teach you many things, and as long as you are willing, no matter how my identity changes, you can always be my good lover, how about it?"
Hearing Miss Milinda's frank answer, Enleco was really at a loss this time. He jumped up and kept as far away from this charming lady as possible and said: "Miss Milinda, Fei and I The relationship between Miss Nasia and Miss Nasia is not as you guessed, so I can't exchange that lady for any benefits with you, and I'm still too young now, so I'd better wait until I grow up to find a lover. "
Having said this, Enleco once again ran away as fast as he could. After all, for Enleco, Miss Milinda was indeed full of attraction, and the feeling was indeed extremely comfortable, but, think about it How things will unfold in the future also stops Enleco from moving forward. After all, he is not a playboy like Haguero.
"Isn't it fun to tease him?" A thick smoke came out from the ground. The smoke dissipated and the evil mage Trode appeared in front of Milinda. The lady was obviously not surprised by this. Isn't there a mysterious magician beside her brother? Although Milinda did not have the awe of magicians like ordinary people and felt mysterious and incomprehensible, she still tried to keep a certain distance from these two sneaky magicians.
Milinda knows the details of the evil mage in front of her quite well. She knows that if this guy wants to spy, no one can stop him, so there is no secret at all for him. Therefore, Milinda admitted generously: "That little magician is much more interesting than you and Drex, but I didn't tease him. Everything I said is true. If he is really willing to use that little beauty In exchange, it’s really nice to have such a cute little lover.”
"In order to compete with my employer, you really do everything you can." Trod said, slapping his nose that was corroded into a hollow.
"You wouldn't even help your employer with such a thing, then you are too conscientious," Milinda sighed.
"There is no way. This is a job assigned to me by my employer. Otherwise, why would I come to this place with you?" Trode replied.
"Yes, this is indeed something that my brother and I find quite strange. You seem to have always cared about Hagrid, and Hagrid also trusts you. Although my brother also trusts Drex, he Trode will never be asked to be a consultant, and Drex will never do anything other than this kind of work," Milinda said.
"I am indeed different from Drakes, or in other words, Drakes is not exactly the same as me, and aren't my employer and your brother completely different people?" Trode replied.
"By the way, you suddenly appeared here, didn't you just come to spy on our love affair?" Milinda asked.
"Talk about love? Are you really in love? And that interesting little magician is too young and doesn't understand real love at all..." Trode didn't talk about anything serious at all, but talked a lot. A collection of thoughts about love.
Milinda was so surprised that she looked at the evil mage in front of her who was almost rotten from head to toe. These words did not seem to come from a guy who dealt with dead bodies all day long. Listening to his words about love, My opinion, if you have not seen this guy in person, everyone may think that this is coming from the mouth of a great lover.
After Trode said a lot of unique insights about love in one breath, he turned back to the real theme. I heard him say in a strangely gloomy voice: "I originally wanted to report a piece of news to the two imperial envoys. The county governor's army has been defeated."
"Failed?" Milinda was slightly surprised when she heard the news. Although she had predicted that the county guard might fail, she never expected that the news of the failure would come so suddenly.
"How could he be defeated all of a sudden? Although that guy didn't have any strategy, he was a commander trained by your employer after all. He shouldn't be that weak. It's unimaginable to suddenly lose at the drop of a hat." Milin Da said in surprise.
"That's because the opponent is much smarter than him. There must be some people in the thieves group who are quite sophisticated. Their action this time was extremely sudden and extremely well-planned. Just like the action against the child magician, it was completely It was carefully arranged. The guy didn't know much about his opponent beforehand, and he wasn't fully prepared. He rushed into battle in a hurry, and fell into the opponent's trap. The combination of these reasons was enough to wipe out that guy's entire army. ” said Trode.
After hearing this, Milinda asked: "What happened, and how many men and horses were lost? You should know this better."
"The thieves were quite clever. They pretended to attack the city of Ferens and asked the defenders of Ferens to ask for help from the county governor. The county governor asked a magician to conduct reconnaissance from the air. Without further sending scouts to verify the intelligence, they hurriedly sent out troops, and the troops They split into two groups, trying to outflank and annihilate the Blood Fox Bandits in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, one of the groups drove for more than fifty miles and was exhausted. They were about to reach their destination, but they encountered an ambush and were defeated in an instant. Fortunately, the ambush bandit group had to turn back to deal with another group of people, so their personnel losses were limited. However, the war horses were all gone, and many people were fleeing back on foot. The other group of people were not so lucky. , they had just arrived in the city of Ferens, and were attacked by a group of thieves besieging the city before they could rest. Just after they had worked so hard to repel those group of thieves, they were attacked from the rear. That guy failed to outflank the group of thieves who were besieging the city. Instead, the thieves attacked him, and the three thousand elite troops were wiped out. The guy was lucky to escape with his life. So far, he had lost about 3,500 people, but if no one rushed to reinforce them, those Most of the soldiers who fled back on foot may not be able to outrun the pursuit of the blood fox. I originally wanted to ask you two if you want reinforcements?"
After hearing this, Milinda immediately turned around and walked towards the hall, but this time she was no longer that charming and charming look. There was an aura of majesty exuding from her whole body, an aura that would never be inferior to Hagrid's. of majesty.
Seeing Milinda like this, Trod nodded slowly and breathed softly: "It's finally her turn to play. I want to see what kind of performance you will have on this once-in-a-lifetime stage. The Hidden Paladin Mida of Khaoqi…”
… …
In the evening, news flooded into the streets and alleys of Chengduville City like a tide. Everyone was talking in panic. The army of Stryer County was defeated. The soldiers who fled back in embarrassment from the city gate confirmed that. This news. A series of urgent military meetings confirmed the news. The main city gates, which had not been closed for nearly two hundred years, were heavily closed, which also confirmed the news.
Of course, Enleco is quite clear about all this. As soon as he came back from the ball, he was invited to the Governor's Mansion again. Miss Milinda had already led the remaining troops of Chengdaville City to rescue, so such a large city could only rely on him and the evil mage Tro Two men from Germany came to defend, and the only ones they could deploy were the trainee knights who belonged to the church.
Fortunately, the thieves did not attack this almost undefended city. When the sun gradually set, the first batch of rescued soldiers finally returned to Chengdaville City. When the men were finally able to enter the city, most had collapsed from exhaustion. The officers who escaped back all looked gloomy and dejected.
※※※
Looking at this miserable appearance, everyone around them couldn't help but worry about their own safety. No one could guarantee whether they would have to live under the shadow of thieves all day long in the future.
The dusk in the Kingdom of Kaoqi is always so short, and night quickly falls on this originally bustling and lively city, but now, all the people walking on the streets are well-equipped soldiers, who have been ordered to patrol all night long. At the gate of the city, carriages were busy coming in and out, and the carriages were filled with valuable goods, furniture, and food. Most of these carriages belong to the bosses in Chengdaville City. Usually, these big bosses all live in villas in the suburbs. On the one hand, it is for convenience, and on the other hand, it is also to hide their property. Outside the city The villa was a castle against the tax collectors. But facing the menacing thieves, these big bosses had to hide in Chengdaville City, a relatively safe place. In fact, in addition to the big local bosses who moved to Chengdaville, wealthy people from some surrounding towns also hurriedly came to Chengdaville to take refuge.
In addition to the carriages that were busy coming in and out at the city gate, there were also knights in heavy armor who were ready for battle. Their horses were tied to their sides so that they could mount and fight at any time. On the one hand, this army was for Protect the merchants who have taken refuge in the city, and another task is to take care of the soldiers who are fleeing back one after another.
Inside the Governor's Mansion, the sky is bright. Today will be an extremely busy and sleepless night. The losses of the war must be counted as soon as possible, the comfort of the families of the wounded must be arranged as soon as possible, and the replacement of lost horses and combat equipment must be carried out as soon as possible. The identity verification and resettlement of people seeking refuge in the city must be completed as soon as possible... In addition, there are still a lot of things to do, and if this is after a victory, everyone will be energetic and willing to work hard, but now The battle has been defeated, and the crisis has not even been resolved. People are in panic. While everyone is working, they are worried about whether the emergency evacuation preparations at home have been properly arranged, whether the food reserves are sufficient, and whether relatives and friends in other cities are still safe. What should be done once the thieves group reaches Chengdaville City? If the war is so tight, will civilian officials like them be ordered to participate in military operations? These thoughts always linger in the minds of the busy staff at the Governor's Mansion.
In a sealed conference room on the second floor of the Governor's Palace, an emergency military meeting was being held. Originally, this meeting was supposed to be chaired by the county governor, but the county governor who had just suffered a huge defeat had no face on the one hand, and no energy on the other. Enleco knew nothing about military affairs. Although many people believed that he was definitely a military genius because of his performance at the Victory Day memorial ceremony, Enleco knew how much he weighed, so he was unwilling to host this meeting. Since Enleco abstained, of course another imperial envoy, Miss Milinda, became the host of the meeting. Sitting next to her were the knights directly under her.
On the right side of the hall were crowded people sitting with officials of all sizes in Stryer County and those with responsibilities in the army, and even the magicians were sitting there, while on the left side there were only two people sitting empty, it was Enleco. And the evil mage Trode. It seemed that except for Enleco, no one wanted to get too close to the evil mage.
As soon as the meeting began, the county guard reported the entire process of the military operation with his head down. Although Enleco did not understand military affairs at all, he could also hear that the county guard had learned from this military operation. It is said that there was no big mistake. Although it was a shortcoming that no scouts were sent to verify the intelligence, as the saying goes, speed is the most important thing. If everything has to be verified clearly before proceeding, then you will only miss the opportunity. This failure is an indisputable fact. Nearly 5,000 soldiers died or disappeared, 2,000 soldiers were injured, the city of Ferens and six surrounding towns were captured, and the loss of personnel and property has not yet been verified. Obviously, these are not the most serious. What is even more frightening is that people in Stryer County are now panicked, the soldiers have no intention of fighting, businessmen are pouring into the city, and all the people are huddled in several major cities and dare not go out. In this way They would only be sitting in vain, and those soldiers had already pinned their hopes on the central government to send troops for rescue, and no one dared to propose further combat plans.
All this shows how clever the opponent is. Enleco can't help but guess, who is the enemy? And this question is obviously lingering in other people's minds as well.
"When did the blood fox become so difficult to deal with?" A knight under Milinda finally asked this question that confused many people.
"Yes, although Xuehu has always been known for his elusiveness, he has never made such a clever arrangement. Looking at this ambush and the last assassination operation, this kind of careful arrangement simply does not seem to come from Xuehu's mind. . ” said the only person under Milinda who possessed the chivalry.
"Young Master is right. I have only heard of two people who can arrange such a clever trap, and Blood Fox is definitely not one of them." Monkey said
"Young Master should have nothing to do with this matter, and the one who can't escape the most suspicion is the Shadow Thief Gorslow." Milinda said.
Enleco was not used to these people talking about "monkey", "young master" and "young master". However, based on these nicknames, Enleco roughly guessed that the so-called young master should be Hegeai. Luo. But Enleco is definitely quite unfamiliar with the name Gorslow.
"If Gorslow and Blood Fox join forces, doesn't it mean that the two existing thieves have become one force?" the county guard asked.
"Who is Gorslow?" Enleco asked.
"Gorthro is the leader of the Shadow Thieves among the three major thieves. He is an interesting guy." Trode explained. He completely ignored the glares of the officials from Strayer County around him because of that interesting guy and continued. Said: "Although he is a thief, he once sneaked into Vedsk to study for a while, and became acquainted with His Majesty the Emperor, Mr. Somyret, and my employer Mr. Haguero. At that time, no one guessed that he He turned out to be the successor to the leader of the world-famous Shadow Thief Group. At that time, this guy was already quite famous, but not as a thief, but as an artist. He was the favorite disciple of the outstanding sculptor Paro, and he was also an old swordsman. One of the proud disciples of Saint Guerre, like Mr. Haguero, he obtained the right to challenge the Sword Master very early, and was known as the Three Greatest Masters of Kaoqi at that time."
"The last three heroes?" Enleco asked again.
This time Trode did not answer Enleco's question, and the direct knights under Milinda were also silent. On the contrary, a knight from the Governor's Mansion explained in a flattering manner: "Of course, among the last three heroes, one is Duke Haguero, who was called the British Swordsman back then, and the other is Gorslow, who was called He is called the Shadow Swordsman. No one knows his true identity yet. He is an extremely mysterious figure. He is known as the Hidden Swordsman Mida. Legend has it that these three people all have the strength of the Sword Master and are considered to be the future of the Kaoqi Kingdom. The place of hope. I didn’t expect that this Gorselow turned out to be... "
"Okay, let's stop explaining here. Master Enleco should have a general understanding of what kind of person Gorslow is. Let's get back to the topic." Milinda stopped the knight from further explanation: "We have called this emergency meeting to discuss what should be done next. As for the governor's failure, what kind of responsibility he needs to bear, this is not something we can decide. It must be decided by His Majesty the Emperor. We only need to be responsible for the aftermath. Everyone should be very clear about the current situation we are facing. Although we still have many more troops than the Blood Fox Bandits, after this battle, the morale of the soldiers is extremely low, and their combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. What's more, compared with the thieves who are good at rapid raids, our so-called light armored cavalry is simply not suitable for this kind of tiger-swatting combat. After this battle, everyone finally knows that Duke Haigero is committed to running a business. It is a true light cavalry regiment, rather than the four-unlike cavalry regiment held by other counties. Therefore, if we want to compete with the Blood Fox, we can only concentrate our forces to attack its key points, and possibly annihilate the Blood Fox. There is only one chance, and that is when they return to their lair in the desert with a large amount of loot... "
"However, if we still cannot find the supply point where the Blood Fox Thieves Group enters and exits Kaoqi, then this only chance will be an illusion. Therefore, the most important thing now is to find the supply point. As long as I let If I know the traces of the society, I can hunt this fox." Milinda said this, turning her eyes to Enleco.
Seeing Milinda looking at herself like this, Enleco suddenly felt quite bad.
