Chapter 13: Turning back

"There is insufficient troops." Looking at the mission he had just obtained and the troops he had just organized, Li Zhi was helpless to find that this time his troops were quite insufficient.

Originally, Li Zhi was able to bring back 20-30 soldiers after the battle with the sticky hole. After these soldiers' strength was improved, ordinary soldiers would become elite soldiers, and militias would become soldiers.

In addition, the 10 human warriors he gave when completing the mission plus two Kenreto mages, a team of nearly forty people is enough to defeat a castle that just rose from the water.

But Li Zhi only brought back four people this time, and the situation was different. A small team of 16 people ran to challenge a castle. Even if the castle had just risen from the water, it would not be possible.

Li Zhi didn't think so much when he took over the task. Now it seems that this task is quite difficult.

After posting the mission to Li Zhi, Odu and Arugao ran away directly, and did not even give Li Zhi a chance to consider it. Then Li Zhi ran to the barracks of Kenryto to recruit soldiers. The officers there were quite polite to Li Zhi, but no matter what Li Zhi said, they were only willing to give Li Zhi 10 ordinary soldiers and 2 ordinary Kenryto mages.

Fortunately, these soldiers can be selected by Li Zhi. Li Zhi did not have much demand for ordinary soldiers. There was no shooter here. Li Zhi selected five soldiers with long halberds and five soldiers with swords and shields.

As for the choices of Master Kenretto, there are many. Li Zhi chose a magician who specializes in Storm and an ice ring.

After choosing these, Li Zhi paid for himself to change his equipment for Lazoklau and upgraded the three soldiers who came back with him.

The two ordinary soldiers were upgraded to elite soldiers, with all attributes +1, while the militia changed their posts to formal soldiers, and their weapons were replaced by pitchforks and torches to long halberds, and a good set of armor was added to them.

After sorting out all the soldiers who had just gathered together, Li Zhi made arrangements for the team. Lazoklau helped Li Zhi lead five soldiers with swords and shields. They had only one task, which was to protect the safety of the two mages.

The remaining six soldiers with long halberds were led by Li Zhi as the main force of the attack.

This time, Li Zhi and the others were naturally unlikely to go from the previous road. This time, Li Zhi planned to go from the small lake here to find a hidden pier that specializes in transporting corpses for Fenris Castle.

In Li Zhi's memory, this is the only way to reach Fenris Castle. There are other roads. After all, the lake is so big and there is no cover. As long as you can swim, you are not afraid of fishmen in the lake.

The reason why Li Zhi chose this route was entirely because he wanted to do one thing. If this thing was done, then Fenris Island might be able to be defeated.

After Li Zhi left, there was a quarrel in the Kenreto Exiled Mage Group. The two quarrels were the two top masters of the Kenreto Exiled Mage Group.

One of the top teachers was naturally Arugao. He commanded the front line of the battle against the undead natural disaster, while the other top division was in charge of Ambemill, and he was working hard to develop logistics.

It is precisely because of the different division of labor that their ideas are different. The man from Ambermeer would never know what the front-line war is now. Instead, he was quite dissatisfied with Arugao's constant demand for various meat.

But in Alugao's view, those people were protected by the first line of defense. Now they really didn't have enough people in their hands. They had to find another way to get strength to deal with the natural disasters of the dead. This method now seems quite reliable, but requires a lot of meat. Alugao, who has not got enough meat, will naturally quarrel with this master.

However, the two of them were still restrained and did not fight because of this. After being tired of the quarrel, they both took a step back. Ambermeer would send someone to hunt to see if he could get some wild beasts and use this to deal with Arugao's meat-eating requirements.

Arugao lowered his requirements for meat and first improved the combat effectiveness of the Kenry Defence Line. They had to push forward at least three to five hundred meters to prove that these meat was not in vain.

After discussing these, Arugao left Ambermere with a depressed look on his face. On the way back to Kenreto, Arugao was thinking whether he would lead the team to defeat Thurberchel. If he was defeated here, on the one hand, he would kill a gathering point of the undead, and on the other hand, the corpses there were also some meat, and maybe he could support his one to continue.

However, after thinking about it, Arugao finally gave up this idea temporarily. Thurberchell's position is quite critical. Not to mention whether he can defeat this place, even if he defeated this place, the pressure he faced was not something that the current Kenretto Exile Mage Group could bear.

In the end, Arugao could only consider it. After Li Zhi returned from Fenris Island, he would take a look at his results. This time, the spider meat brought back by Li Zhi can support it for a while. Maybe this will be helpful to this experiment.

But at this moment, Arugao saw Odu rushing towards this side.

Seeing Odu stumble and run without anyone taking him, Arugao became a little angry. Odu was his most trusted subordinate, but those people knew that Odu's eyes were inconvenient, but they still let him run around like this.

Arugao immediately met and held Odu, "What happened to Odu? It seems that you are so anxious."

"Master Arugao, Baron Sivalian just sent a message that they would take back all the soldiers sent to us." Odu calmed down and said immediately.

"What did you say?" As a front-line commander, Arugao certainly knew how many soldiers there were in Kenreto's current defense line belonging to Shivalian Castle.

If Shivalein Castle really recruits all the soldiers back, Kenryto's defense line that had just settled down would collapse immediately.

Alugao asked with a dark face, "Did they explain the reason, and did they say how to keep the soldiers?"

"They didn't explain much, but I asked indirectly that it seemed that a castle war commander came to the castle in Shivalan Castle, and they planned to keep their castle with all their strength."

"Defend their castle with all their might?" Arugao snorted heavily, "It seems that they no longer regard us as allies, so there is no need for us to defend our territory for them. Odu, please ask if you can leave some soldiers behind. If not, then shrink the defense line and let our soldiers guard the territory we just occupied. As for the passage to Shivalein Castle, let him go."

"Master Arugao." Odu understood what would the relationship between the Kenretto sect and the Castle of Shivalan after making such a decision.

Although the territory of the Kenretto Mages is not far away, they are considered outsiders at any time. If they commit crimes on local forces at this time, their plans here will not be so easy to carry out.

But Arugao's attitude this time was quite firm, "You don't have to say anything, let me consider them, have they considered us? We have been fighting against the front line of the undead natural disaster, but what support did they give us, how many soldiers sent, and now they have to recruit them all. Do you know, I want to destroy the Castle of Shivalein now?"

Having said this, Arugao said angrily, "By the way, when the soldiers left, send people to stare and tie them all back to me in a place where no one is there. I have an experiment that requires their support."

Hearing this, Odu was stunned. He seemed to have thought of something and said in a low voice, "Master Arugao, you promised not to..."

"There is nothing in the past. It's different from the past. I just did those experiments to improve my strength. But now, I need to ensure the safety and interests of the Kerry Torth Mage Group. You go down and deal with it. I still have something to do. Right, you can deal with the matter of shrinking the defense line quickly. In addition, don't forget the gold mine on the side of the sticky silk hole. Send some people to mine. We don't have much money anymore."

"I understand, but should I keep the defense line by the lake? Didn't the Crystal Swordsman go to Fenris Island? Should we pick him up?"

"We don't have that much force now, and we can't support this line of defense for too long. Let's arrange it, and have someone bring 20 people to find him and call the crystal swordsman back. At worst, we won't fight Fenris Castle."

Odu nodded. To be honest, Odu still has a certain good impression of Li Zhi, and he did not forget Li Zhi's safety when he saw Alugao. From this point of view, Alugao has not yet fallen because of his strength. He also considers things for the collective benefit.

Thinking of this, Odu's mood improved a lot. Even if Arugao's order was unreasonable, he would immediately arrange it.

The most affected change was naturally Li Zhi. As soon as he found the hidden corpse transport ship dock, Li Zhi heard a voice coming from his ear.

"Kenretto's exile mage group and the power relations between the Shivalian Castle become hostile. Killing the power soldiers of the Shivalian Castle will gain corresponding reputation...

The specific reputation reward is as follows: Kill one soldier and reward 3 points of reputation;

Kill one guard and reward 3 points of reputation;
