Chapter 69: Preparations for Combat [Ilay]

After breakfast, the two went to the Adventure Union of the Iron Tooth Group to accept the commission.

The Iron Tooth Group, where the leader of Orecka is not around, is much deserted compared to other adventurer unions.

Although people are still here, not many people are drinking and making trouble;

Even though several days have passed, it still remains the same.

But today is a little different.

The guild is still not very lively, but it is not related to "lifelessness".

There are more people than before - or in other words, the members of the Iron Tooth Group are quite complete today.

Some of them should have gone out to execute the entrustment in the past;

There is another part of them who were originally rotated to find Oleka, but they didn't set out today.

Everyone in the guild is preparing for combat and is very busy.

Mercenaries were polishing their weapons; magicians hung various spell bottles around their waists; their expressions were even more like facing a great enemy.

What happened...

Aile and Miss Jingshen looked at each other and walked towards Deputy Commander Mole.

"Ah, two, I probably can't send you to hunt today." Mole, who was working hard, noticed the arrival of the two, and looked up and said to them: "I've come today with an urgent special commission... If possible, I hope you can also participate."

Mole's smile was obviously barely squeezed out; he looked haggard and his eyes were dark, and he obviously hadn't had a good rest these days.

"An urgent special commission?" Alay heard this and said, "What is it?"

"According to reliable information, the neighboring Corey tribe's "Gray Wolf" tribe is about to launch an attack on White Rock City." Moller picked up a piece of parchment and handed it to Erere. "This is the emergency commission issued by Count David to various Adventurers Guilds, with the stamp of White Rock Castle on it... Other Adventurers Guilds are also preparing."

Ailei took a look at the entrustment form and roughly understood the main content.

Just last night, the spies lurking near the Gray Wolf Tribe learned that they were about to launch an attack on Baiyan Village and the time they chose was likely to be tonight.

The specific location of the attack is unknown, but the village on the east side of the city is most likely to be attacked - because the general location of the Gray Wolf Tribe is on the east side of Baiyan City, where the village is closest to them.

The nobles must protect their people; on the one hand, it is because of the "glory of the nobles", and on the other hand, the taxes paid by the people are the source of income for the nobles.

However, there are not many permanent troops in Baiyan City; there are two thousand light infantry, five hundred heavy infantry, two hundred light cavalry, one hundred heavy cavalry, and less than fifty knights.

These regular armed forces belong to each noble; most of them must be distributed on the east side of Baiyan City, and some must be left in the city to maintain order;

As for the west, north and south, the garrison was very weak;

No matter where the nobles' fiefs are, deploying troops in the direction that the enemy is most likely to come is the correct one - so what Earl David thinks.

Of course, we cannot completely give up defenses in other directions.

Count David called on adventurers and adult men in the city to take up weapons and resist the enemy's attacks;

The commission orders distributed to various adventurers guilds are one of the means.

"There is a lot of rewards... As long as you participate in it, there will be a golden dragon to get it!" When I saw the reward, Ailey's eyes shone: "Kill an alien race, you can use your head to exchange for a golden dragon's reward! This is more profitable than hunting monsters!"

"But it's much more dangerous." Miss Guan frowned, "It's not exactly the same as hunting monsters. Magicians are relatively safe. They have plenty of time to retreat depending on the situation is not good. If the mercenary... people will die if they are killed. This is not a joke."

When hunting monsters, the magician can estimate the strength of the enemy and decide whether to fight, but it is different when dealing with alien races.

When fighting with people, there are too many uncontrollable and unknowable factors;

A strong giant may be a silly man, but a short and thin little man may be an excellent killer;

No matter how sharp a weapon is, it will be useless if it fails to hit it;

Even if it is just a wooden stick that poked into the eyes, it will be enough to kill people.

People who exuded murderous aura may only die, while people who seem to be harmless can take human life in a blink of an eye.

If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must not only be strong enough, smart enough, but also have good luck.

"Ailee, this is very dangerous, think carefully." Miss Guan stared at Ailee.

"Ah, you are caring for me!" Aire nodded proudly.

"...It's more important to pay attention to your safety!" Miss Jingshen turned her head, "I won't collect the body for you..."

"They have a blood debt with them to settle." Ayre's expression became much more serious. "The village and best friends I once depended on died at their hands, and I must take revenge on them."

"That's it...well, I will cover you as much as possible." Obviously, Miss Jingshen didn't plan to stand idly by.

From a legal perspective, Miss Guan should participate in this battle - she is a member of the future Clinder family and must fight to protect Baiyan City;

Emotionally speaking, Miss Guan didn't have much resistance.

Miss Guan didn't have much feelings for the people of the Corey tribe.

What happened back then made her feel that the people of the Corey tribe and the Fares Kingdom were hard to trust.

At present, she only believes that three people will not harm her:

She has cared for her since she was a child and has died under the sword of the Kingdom of Fareth;

Earl David, who cares about the rights of slaves and returns to freedom;

Aire who adventures with himself.

Trust has nothing to do with origin; no Korie tribe had a helping hand to him back then.

Trust has nothing to do with blood; it is precisely because of the abandonment of my father that Miss Guan and her mother were captured by soldiers of the Kingdom of Fares.

Compared to those thugs who burned, killed and looted, Miss Guan admired these people who defended their country more;

Not to mention that there is Ire among these people;

"In other words, you two are going to join in, right?" Moller nodded, "The Iron Tooth Team's defense zone is relatively scattered, and most of them are concentrated in the East District. What about you? Which defense zone do you want to go to?"

"Um..." Aire frowned and thought for a while, "Let's go to the North District."

"Well, there may be attacks there, but the chance is relatively smaller." Mole said, taking out two cards with guild marks, "Take this and go to Baiyanbei Village to report."

Ailey had his own considerations: most of the noble army was concentrated on the east side, and even if he went there, he would not be very useful;

Moreover, the enemy does have the possibility of launching a surprise attack from the north side.

First of all, the north and east sides of Baiyan City are mountains;

Although the Gray Wolf tribe is located in the mountains on the east side, they can sneak in the mountains and wait until the north of Baiyan City to fight out.

Only by chopping up those inhuman animals with your own hands is to vent your resentment in your heart.

The tragedy in Ster Village must not be staged again.
