When they entered the Iron Cross Mercenary Group's base, Captain Andrea, who had received the news and was waiting there, quickly came to greet them.
“Captain Ask, we meet again!” He laughed and pulled Alfred out from behind the crowd. “Alfred! Didn’t you say that you have known the Blue Sword Mercenary Group for a long time? Why are you hiding in the back and not talking?”
Alfred:
In fact, not long after he joined the Iron Cross Mercenary Group, he heard some members discussing the name of the Blue Sword, so he naturally went over and complained about those people.
As a result, the rumor spread at the speed of light in the team, so much so that when Alfred later learned of the Iron Cross's attitude towards the Azure Sword, he regretted it so much that he almost wanted to chew his tongue off.
"Yeah, ah, haha." Alfred was singled out by Andrea at this time. He knew very well that the captain wanted to help him reconcile with the people of the Blue Sword and eliminate previous personal grudges.
However, he didn't want to have anything to do with people like Cang Qing Zhi Jian again, so he could only pretend to be at a loss and stammer.
"Yes, we have fought alongside Sir Alfred in Innsbruck before," Ask replied.
"That's great, it turns out we are all old friends!" Andrea laughed and invited everyone into the command room.
"At present, the main problem we face in the southwest is: how to capture the Egnatia Fortress." After entering the command room, Andrea stopped being polite and said seriously to the tactical map, "This fortress was built inside the mountainous area. The enemy blew up the original highway bridge and then set up a defense line along the mountain pass. If we force our way in, we will suffer great damage."
"Then send the spearhead team." Ask said casually.
"We are still preparing for the spearhead team." Andrea smiled bitterly, "The problem is that according to the existing intelligence, there should be a demigod of the Seljuk Empire stationed on the opposite side."
"It doesn't matter, we also have demigods." Ask waved his hand.
"Oh!" Andrea and Herman's eyes lit up.
In fact, this is what they were thinking about at the moment. Although there were not a few human demigods in this world, there were not many of them either. They were basically gathered in the major noble lord families and extraordinary sects.
The Iron Cross Mercenary Group did have a demigod, but he was stationed at the headquarters almost all year round, so it was impossible for him to fight with other demigods for such a thing - if he died accidentally, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group would be without a demigod, and its subsequent reputation in the industry and its political bargaining chips would rapidly weaken, and it would be at risk of becoming a second-rate mercenary group.
However, if there were no demigods, no matter how many and how strong the remaining extraordinary beings were, their siege would only be a spiritual consumption contest with the demigods.
Now is the era of Lv. 25 as the level cap, and it is almost impossible to wear down a demigod... Even if you have an unlimited population to besiege him, there is a high probability that when his spiritual power is almost exhausted, he will activate the conceptualization of his body and run away while taking the damage, and then come back to wear you down again when his spiritual power is restored enough.
