Vol 3 Chapter 22

Scene 22 Expansion (3)

The sky was getting a little bit late, and the sunset of the sky penetrated half of the sky like a radial, and the cirrus cirrus clouds were burning as if from a line of bright gold on the horizon to the blue-violet overhead and then gradually turned into Deep blue, all the way to the east, it turned into a dim gloom.

Such clouds seemed to herald the good weather for the next few days, so that nature calmed down, and the sound of birds and birds was heard in the mountains. The whole forest became much quieter at sunset.

Akane stood alone next to Brando, her eyes reflecting a faint twilight, and she looked at the direction of Grahar Mountain-the Kalanga Mountains extended northward to the 'root system' surrounding the baron of fir trees. At the same time, it is the eastern end of the blade that extends beyond the margins of southern civilization of Eruin and extends into the Black Forest. According to legend, this mountain is the source of the wealth of this land. There are countless treasures buried underground, such as silver—in just a few days, she has heard rumors about this huge silver vein. Although only a small part of it was in Tonigel, it was enough to splurge that Gruddin.

But this mountain, which seems sacred and silent to the locals, now looks like a huge beast hidden in her eyes. Although the towering rock reveals the crown of the tree and the golden light reflects in the sun, but Under the shadow of the forest lies an unknown secret.

The sawmill in the forest looks like a small round spot in the golden-red tree crown after autumn, and from the hill, there don't seem to be many cavemen below. However, this is not the case. These residents from Jorgendiga have hollowed out the entire mountain, and there may be large and small tunnel entrances and exits in the gaps under those rocks.

To enter the valley, it is difficult to avoid passing through these areas closely monitored by cavemen.

The red-haired girl turned back again, and hours had passed since Brando confirmed the plan, but they had no further action except to walk a few hundred feet along the valley-in fact it was still in With her repeated urging, the young lord talent reluctantly moved a bit.

Staying here for a few hours without moving, Brando didn't explain the reason, and often just answered with a smile.

"This guy."

The red-haired girl didn't react on the surface, but turned around and gently stabbed the roots of the knotted black pine roots, thinking that since the plan has been confirmed, what are you waiting for? Either that ‘capture the thief first capture the king’ or assassinate, anyway, what time do you have to wait ...

She frowned and didn't like the feeling of wasting time.

She looked back and saw that the cavemen underground in the forest below were stepping out of the ground one by one. This is the second batch. The first batch that I saw earlier has entered the forest: "Do they want to go to the confluence first, or Go straight to the horseshoe sawmill? "

The number of burrowing troops in the front is thousands. If you go straight to the horseshoe sawmill, it may be ahead of time as they are scheduled. In that case, the mercenaries can really support them in the middle of the night. ?

She was skeptical.

"I don't know." Brando's answer was concise.

He really didn't know. He wasn't a military genius, but he had a better understanding of the characteristics of cavemen. As for what the other party would decide, he really couldn't tell.

"So Lord, the sun is going down, don't you start talking about waiting for the evening?"

Brando was startled, "I have said that?"

"Of course, you said then ..."

"Oh," Brando interrupted her. "That's because you just looked impatient and let you relax."

The red-haired girl stared at him with amber-colored eyes. Even with a good temper, she couldn't help showing her tiny white tiger teeth.

"I'm sorry." Brando smiled slightly.

Akane kept her mouth shut and looked back-after all, Brando was a lord, and she regarded herself as a subordinate. Of course, her subordinates could not question the meaning of the lord. Therefore, although there are doubts, they can only be taken to heart.

It's just that Brando explained his thoughts to most people, and today she seems a bit abnormal.

But Brando didn't want to say, but couldn't say. While smiling, he tapped Rochelle's bazaar in the space he built. At 6 o'clock, his wealth was remitted into all his resources. Since that night's profligacy, his wealth has risen in three days. It's 98 o'clock.

But compared to the already consumed, the rebate of this reply still made him twitch in his heart.

"Are you going to find the chief of the other side in the crypt below?" He thought for a while, and still replied, "I'm afraid the caveman's tunnel has already hollowed out this mountain. If we go in, we may not find it next year. other side."

"But you can't just wait like this," Qian complained.

"Relax, this is just a small tribe. The chief of the tribe of about three thousand people is often a witch doctor." Brando replied: "To deal with the formal wizard of humanity, he must do it himself."

"When will that wait?"

"It depends on how cautious the other party is," Brando replied, "not later than a short time after the moon rises."

"Can it keep the caveman for so long?" Qian couldn't help asking.

"I believe in Antitina," Brando looked up. "The way I have given her, the rest depends on whether the mercenaries really want to stand with us. But if they don't, they also have to protect themselves. Way-but in fact it doesn't matter whether to give up the horseshoe sawmill, this skirmish has already won in the battle that afternoon. "

"What do you mean?"

"Look at it." Brando smiled slightly. "I want more than victory."

...

The moon rose quickly into the sky.

There seemed to be a sense of silence in the air of the horseshoe lumberyard at night, but this did not conceal an experienced mercenary. When Yuta patrolled the wooden wall, he had a keen sense of smell hiding in the Unusual taste in the wind.

The caveman's scout may have arrived.

She raised her hand subconsciously with a frown, and with her fingers flaming her long red hair behind her right ear, she combed back against the gradual cooling wind in the night. Then he moved down with his left hand and called a few mercenaries to let them into the forest to investigate.

But her actions obviously caught the attention of the others in the camp. The head of the Rose and Wine Mercenary Group, Kellenia, looked up, then turned back indifferently, carrying one hand in silence. The people under his supervision dug a trench in the camp-this was not a trench, but a precautionary measure taken to prevent cavemen from assaulting underground.

As for the burly head Fern, he was also silent, and he made a gesture to let his person climb the wooden wall.

The mercenaries behaved in an orderly and experienced manner, which relieved Antitina, who was patrolling around the camp. After a round of inspections around the logging site, the aristocrat walked up the wooden wall step by step in the skirt accompanied by two wild elven sisters.

She first looked at Yuta standing under the moonlight.

"Did you find anything?" Antitina asked.

Yuta looked back and saw that the lady didn't seem surprised, but turned away from the cold: "There is something in the forest, maybe a caveman, but also another beast. I've let people see it. . "

"Caveman?" Antitina was a little surprised, but she didn't say: "Come so fast?"

"Perhaps," the female mercenary commander emphasized.

"What will happen?" The noble Qianjin took a breath and calmed himself and asked, "Does this mean that the cavemen move quickly, Chief Yuta? Also, can you judge their reaction speed? ? And the coordination between the military? "Although she was well-known, she followed Brando for a while before she felt that the paper was finally shallow. In the face of these experienced mercenaries, there was often a mutual confirmation between experience and knowledge. It was very rewarding, so Antinina asked humbly after taking a look at Yuta.

Yuta also glanced at her, and for the first time, she felt that the little girl was not that annoying. Although she was a little deep-hearted, she saw more of the descendants of the so-called aristocracy, and once she accepted it, she didn't find it strange.

"The ever-changing battlefield has very little certainty," the head of the mercenary shook her head, and her long red hair shook like a flame. "It may be the caveman who stayed before to monitor it. It may be scouts coming later. If the former possibility indicates that the opponent ’s combat literacy is high, I will not be willing to entangle with such guys if possible; but the latter indicates the opponent's overall reaction and coordination ability. They are all superhuman, so the fighting in the next few days will be very difficult ... "

"And at least," Yuta added: "Scouts can cross the forest in such a short period of time, and their individual qualities are not ordinary."

"What do you think it is, Chief Yuta."

"From experience," the head of the mercenary replied, "I prefer the latter."

"Experience it."

"Experience is important, Miss Antinina, especially when you are unsure of what it is, experience is like an intuition that is more reliable than your knowledge-" Yuta said as she *** lips *** Looking at the forest, a bird was startled in the forest, indicating that the mercenaries and the cavemen were fighting and were driving each other. She squinted. "It seems my guess is correct, and your Lord Lord is not ordinary."

"What?" Antitina turned back a moment.

"If the scout arrives at this time, it means that the large troops are also approaching," Yuta replied, "but the timing of the attack is delayed, and the real fierce battle will continue until the middle of the night, that little guy ... oh Sorry, Lord Lord seems to know these underground guys quite well. "

"He knows more than that," Antitina answered quietly, looking at the moon.

"Oh?"
