Using alchemy to quickly create a town scene was a task given to the two Elric brothers by King Brad. There was definitely no shortage of wood in the nearby forests, and the stone was also transported by the mountain giants. An elven-style town was quickly built under Alchemy. 》Apex Novel,.
Considering that the entire mercenary group needs to be lured to the entire town, it must be of considerable scale, so in order to save time, the various buildings that the two brothers have built through alchemy are just empty shells. For example, Alphonse just built The outside of the building looks like a beautiful town hall full of art, but as soon as you walk in, you will find that it is empty without any furniture or furnishings, and the interior is completely like a cardboard model. .
"There are still some trees that need to be planted on the drawings." Alphonse muttered as he looked at the design drawings.
Alphonse's armor, whose body has been restored, is still the same as before, but this time Yalin has plated a layer of mithril on the surface of Al's armor to provide Al with stronger magical protection in the future.
Little Bean Edward, who was exhausted from using alchemy, shouted dissatisfied: "Don't worry about those trees. It's just a set anyway, so there's no need to be so meticulous."
While the two brothers were busy using alchemy to create the scenery, some Frost Elf Rangers also began to arrange some detailed decorations around the built building, and also set up various traps in the room.
"Edward and Arjun, I'm here to help you!"
While the two brothers were busy, Major Alex came over with Heathcliff and others.
"Ah~ Major Alex!"
Al said hello politely, while Edward, who was a little exhausted and exhausted, waved weakly to the major.
"It looks like there should be no problem."
Ashe observed the model town that was quickly built, then took out the map and pointed at it and said: "Then we will ambush the next group of people here, and launch an attack immediately after the opponent enters."
"What if the other side chooses to break out? There are more than 500 people who are much more numerous than us, and the total number of scouts and soldiers we have here is only about 200."
Heathcliff considered the disparity between the numbers of the enemy and ourselves. Even if the first wave can severely damage the opponent, the opponent can still maintain a strength comparable to our own. If the opponent desperately wants to break out, it is absolutely impossible to intercept them all. In the SAO game, Heathcliff also led several battles against the PK red-name union Smiling Coffin. Although it was attacked several times, the major strategy unions with numerical superiority were still able to fight against it.
"You are new here. You probably don't know that everything in this forest is our ally, including the flying snow." Ai Xi smiled and pointed at the sky.
Kim Bradley, who understood Yalin's power, nodded but also said cautiously: "But we must also ensure that no fish slips through the net. If these mercenaries are allowed to leave and the things in the forest are spread, the Kingdom of Saxony will Under considerable diplomatic pressure, Your Excellency Yalin does not want to see this happen, and we must ensure that this does not happen."
"If we share some manpower, the effect of the attack will also be reduced. At that time, the opponent may not retreat and rely on their numerical advantage to fight us directly." Ai Xi objected to allocating the already small number of troops.
"Can you ask Yalin for some more recruits? I'm not sure what kind of strength the mages in this world have. Are they able to use teleportation and other spells like in games and novels?"
Heathcliff's words made Kim Bradley nod and said: "Well said, this should be taken into consideration┉┉"
Twenty minutes later. Four mages and a white dragon guard came from the city of Ulduar. As for the additional reinforcements, Yalin was given to these five people. However, if the power of the dragon is calculated, the white dragon guard alone is enough to fight against all of mercenaries. However, in this way, Yalin could not test the training situation of the army, so the task of the White Dragon Guards was only to break up the rear and intercept.
Since they no longer need to worry about interception, Ai Xi and others will devote all their energy to the ambush. If possible, it is best to defeat this mercenary force directly in the ambush. For this reason, the elf mages have set up a large number of triggered frost arrays in the set towns. At the same time, with the alchemical power of Major Alex and the two brothers, a tunnel was built around the town to hide ambushes. When all arrangements were completed, the Ice Edge Archers and Rangers quickly hid in the forest around the town, while the Tauren warriors began to become familiar with the structure of the tunnel and made final preparations for tomorrow's battle.
Just when everyone was busy. After finishing his work, Edward was sitting on a stone bench nearby, drinking a hot drink and resting. After watching a group of people holding maps and pointing at where they were talking about, such as ambush, interception, heavy damage and other unclear and harsh words, After Edward finally found out from an elf that there would be a battle against slave traders and mercenaries tomorrow, Xiaodouzi immediately got excited and wanted to take part. However, this proposal was immediately rejected by Ashe and Major Alex, for the simple reason that children should not participate in such a bloody war.
"Why can this guy participate?" Edward, who was furious, glanced at Feiying who was also eating bread and drinking juice and shouted. Isn't this guy with a spiky head wearing a black trench coat also a child
Fei Ying, who was lying on the gun for no apparent reason, glanced at Edward in displeasure, and then Fei Ying suddenly walked up to Edward as if he had discovered a new world, and then gestured with his hand to Xiaodouzi with a look in his eyes like "What do you want to do?" top of head. Then, when Edward suppressed his blush and looked at him as if he had been greatly insulted and was about to go crazy, Feiying raised the corners of his mouth slightly and left while whistling.
"Asshole!! What did you mean by that expression just now? I'll kill you!!"
Xiaodouzi, who was instantly frightened by what Hiei did to him, would have rushed forward and fought Hiei for 300 rounds if he hadn't been tightly held by Alphonse.
"Okay, brother~ don't be angry. We are done with the things here. Let's go back to the city first."
Alphonse put Edward under his arm and walked back. Until far away, everyone could still faintly hear words full of resentment such as, "You're taller than me, why are you so arrogant?"
After the two brothers left, Heathcliff smiled and shook his head and said, "They are really interesting brothers."
"Isn't it? The two of them are the living treasures of Ulduar City." Ashe also chuckled, and then continued to focus on the map.

While the Frost and Snow Elves were preparing for the arrival of the mercenaries, the mercenaries gathered in the town of Bellica in the Kingdom of Saxony also prepared sufficient supplies and began to enjoy hot meals. Then the mercenary group would set off for the Mist. forest. Because of the mutated crack-tooth wolves and various rare mutated medicinal materials in the Mist Forest, many poachers and smugglers gathered near Belika Town, plus businessmen who came here to purchase medicinal materials and animals. It has been greatly expanded under the instruction of the royal family. Now, a small town with a few thousand people in the past has quickly become a large town with a population of nearly 10,000 in a very short period of time. In other words, based on the population of the Kingdom of Saxony, Bellica The town is already qualified to be named 'city'.
Due to the gathering of mercenaries, the security team and militia in the town were short of manpower. The garrison of the nearby Bellica Fortress was also ordered to monitor the mercenary group stationed outside the city. Although the arrival of the mercenary group was a big surprise for the residents of Bellika Town It brought a lot of extra income, but many townspeople and soldiers were still a little dissatisfied. After all, a mercenary from a self-made city sent people to station in a sovereign country at will. Although it was temporary, it was not good for them. It was also a humiliation for many Saxons.
In particular, Prince Rost was the most disgusted with this situation!
It can be seen from the fact that after the mercenary group and the slave catching team arrived in Belika Town, Prince Rost left all the negotiation work to other officials. The prince hated a situation like this very much. His country was like Like restaurants, people can come in and out as they please. Why can these slave traders come here to plunder the resources that belong to the Kingdom of Saxony as they please! The so-called remnants of escaped elves in the Forest of Mist are a terrible excuse. Prince Rost knew very well that these slave traders came for the silver-haired elves who were servants of the ancient gods in the Forest of Mist.
These greedy slave traders are really a bunch of disgusting garbage. They never have such things as humanity and conscience in their minds, only interests and money.
"Your Highness, the affairs officer in the town has sent a message. The Soaring Eagle mercenary group stationed there has set off. Together with the slave traders' private slave catching team, there are about 500 people. It is estimated that they will arrive in the mist tonight. The forest is outside." A guard reported with the news he had just received.
Ross nodded and signaled the other party to retreat. The mercenary group of more than 500 people plus the slave hunting team was not much. The garrison of Bellica Fortress alone could easily eliminate them, but the diplomatic pressure of the Free City afterwards It is definitely not something the Kingdom of Saxony can bear. It took only a Lawrence royal family to finally send him away, and it could not create more excuses for the Free City to interfere before the mine began to be put into normal production.
With a sinking heart, Rost knew that the royal family had to continue to endure for a while. The only thing he hoped for now was that the ancient gods would kill all these mercenaries and slave traders. (To be continued...)
