"Arahan...... In fact, we were originally friends. Cakuluchia seemed to be sorting out the wording, and thought for a long time before he came up with this sentence: "No, the word friend is not used appropriately, originally we were partners." Arahan, who started out as an ambitious civil servant, rose to the presidency of Finland with my patronage? ”

"You let me digest it first." The revelation of Kakuluchia was so fierce that Yang Hai never thought that the president of a country would appear in front of him like this.

"Why do you want to fund him?" Yang Hai snorted for a long time before asking such a question.

"Finland is an important source of energy ore, and of course it is a key strategic area for the Persian Energy Group." Kakulucia replied, "Do you think I'm willing to meddle in the politics of a country?" The original president of Finland was disobedient, so what can I do? had to support his rivals to the top. ”

The original president was disobedient......

Yang Hai tried to bring himself into the thinking of an oligarch, adapting to the logic of Kakulucia: "Okay, then why did you turn against each other later? ”

"Ugh." Kakuluchia sighed: "Speaking of which, at that time, I was also young and vigorous, confident that I had the power to manipulate the world, so I made a big short position in the energy futures market and bet against others. The form is quite bad for me, and I need the governments of Finland, Brazil, and Thailand to issue policies to increase energy production at the same time to suppress energy prices. Brazil and Thailand are relatively well-behaved, but Arahan has a bad idea, he doesn't want energy prices to fall, and he wants to maintain his family's interests. Brazil and Thailand are both big energy exporters, but the statements of just two countries don't give me any certainty of victory. When I needed Arahan's support the most, Arahan betrayed me. ”

"So-" Yang Hai answered tentatively, "you sent a killer to assassinate him?" ”

"This kind of practice will cause a fire, of course I won't make such a big move." Kakulucia shook her head. "He is a stone, I am a jade, why should I be crushed with him?"

"Then you've installed another puppet government?"

"Say what. What a puppet government, ugly to hear. "I'm just a funder, and the only requirement is for them to help at a critical moment." Besides, at this time, Arahan's strength in Finland has been established, and even if I want to support the newcomer to the throne, it will be too late. The futures market is so cold, those short orders must be properly resolved, time waits for no one, I really have no choice but to bribe the Finnish military to launch an armed coup. ”

"......" Yang Hai rubbed his temples: "The only armed war on earth in 20 years was instigated by you?" ”

"Arahan broke the contract first, which caught me off guard, although I am loyal and honest. Be kind to others, you can't bully others like this, right? ”

"Can you please stop speaking in such a victim tone?" Yang Hai was defeated by Kakuluchia: "Either they are manipulating politics or they are planning to manipulate politics, and energy companies are doing these things all day long?" ”

"I'm not running around manipulating politics." Kakuluchia said innocently: "If the leaders of the country are willing to cooperate, I am very willing to spend money." If I don't cooperate, I have no choice but to manipulate politics. ”

The energy group's way of doing things really made Yang Hai refreshed, and Yang Hai felt that he was really not qualified to judge as a layman, so he simply changed the topic.

"Is Huaxia willing to cooperate or unwilling to cooperate?" Yang Hai asked very gossipily, he was really curious.

"Huaxia is not in my strategic map." Kakuluchia replied: "Huaxia is an energy importer, so there is no blood to suck. Energy-exporting countries are the main PR targets. ”

"That's except for Arahan. You must have quite a few mortal enemies, right? Yang Hai was a little worried about Kakuluchia: "In case you get old in the future-"

"I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT DAY, POSEIDON." Kakulucia smiled quite freely: "But once you enter this industry, there is no room for exit." I can't look ahead and backwards, for energy groups. The most important thing is not the strength of capital, but the aggressiveness and aggressiveness of the leader. As soon as I lose my aggressiveness, the Persian energy group will immediately be pounced on and dismembered by countless wolves waiting in the shadows. Energy companies are like pawns across a river, they can only move forward. Can't go back. I can't think too much about how miserable I will be when I get old and dizzy, and if I think too much, I will lose my courage. Tear your face with Alahan How difficult it was to make that decision is still vivid in my mind. There was a hint of sadness in Kakulucia's sapphire blue eyes: "Arahan is not just a partner, but one of the few friends with whom I can say a few words. If I could, I'd rather lose a lot of money than push Arahan to this point. BUT POSEIDON, I CAN'T BE EMOTIONAL, I HAVE TO BUILD CONFIDENCE THAT THE PERSIAN ENERGY GROUP IS INVINCIBLE. Over the years, the Persian Energy Group has been invincible in the energy field and the financial field, and countless people have betrayed me, but more people have chosen to gather under my command, and I have no way out, so I can only step on the bones, drink blood, eat flesh and bones, and shed tears all the way, so that the political capital and financial capital in my hands continue to expand and ferment and then expand again, and use these things to manipulate this world until I myself am manipulated by them. ”

Yang Hai could feel the sadness and pain that Kakuluchia was exuding from his bones, and he patted the big boss on the shoulder, comforting him silently.

"Hey, little couple, don't be affectionate, it's time to go."

After a while, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind the two people, and Yang Hai looked back and found that it was an independent mercenary.

The atmosphere of BROMANCE was immediately ruined, Yang Hai withdrew his hand on the shoulder of the big boss, and the two of them explained at the same time: "We are not a couple. ”

"Do you know how cute you look when you say in unison?" As soon as this seemingly honest human warrior spoke, the words of his belly came to his face: "COME-ON, DON'T BE SHY, MY NEIGHBORS, THEY ARE JUST LIKE YOU, AND I ALSO ATTENDED THE WEDDING~ MY CONCEPT IS VERY OPEN." ”

"What are you looking for us?" Yang Hai interrupted the chatter of this black-bellied warrior with black lines on his face, and this kind of defense of things that are getting darker and darker is meaningless.

"Ah, you're having so much fun chatting here. Didn't you see the boss saying hello over there? He told us to go over and assign tasks. The black warrior smiled: "Introduce yourself, my name is Jack, I know you, the master of GLORYDAY." At first, I was still wondering how someone would name their mercenary group GLORYDAY, this name is really a bit strange, just now I pondered, it turned out that the name of the mercenary group was G-A-Y, hehe, just with the exquisite minds of the two, praise. ”

Yang Hai and Kakuluchia looked at each other. They were completely defeated by Jack's wild imagination. Kakuluchia is still trying to defend himself ("We really aren't gay!"). Yang Hai was too lazy to say anything, and pulled up Kakuluchia and walked towards Alahan.

"I guess you're definitely attacking," Jack didn't care about Yang Hai's coldness at all, and said to Kakulucia, "Because you're much more enthusiastic than your little buddy, and he's—"

Yang Hai's short sword silently rested on Jack's neck.

"Keep your mouth shut." Yang Hai said angrily.

Jack's pupils shrank sharply, and it wasn't a problem to cross the Stans Hills alone with his strength, he just ran a chamber of commerce mission just because he was on the safe side. I didn't think there would be any decent masters here, but I didn't expect there to be one right now. If the Vault Dweller has no mercy......

It was a second before the dagger rested around his neck that he realized that he had hung up three times in hand-to-hand combat.

"Ha Lu Ha. Joke joke, just kidding. Jack hurriedly waved his hand.

Then he noticed that the dagger that appeared around his neck had disappeared without him noticing.

Jack suddenly felt a chill, he was still a little unconvinced before, why did the two people of GLORYDAY directly get the honorary recommendation and exemption qualifications. Now it seems that there is a reason for it-

When Jack, Yang Hai, and Kakuluchia walked into the crowd, the observers from the venture capital firm were talking, and the mercenaries were all impatient. However, it seems that the goblin NPC is not aware at all. As soon as Yang Hai and the others arrived, Arrahan hurriedly interrupted the goblin's speech and said, "Mr. Nuqi, don't worry, we have hired professional mercenaries, they will not break the contract, I believe in their professional ethics." ”

After calming everyone's emotions, Alahan began to assign tasks to the mercenaries.

All the mercenaries were divided into three battalions, the Scout Battalion, the Warrior Battalion, and the Mage Battalion and the healing team. Scouts are responsible for scouting the way ahead, making mobile sentinels, and issuing warnings; The missions of the other three camps are not particularly different from traditional raid teams.

Kakuluchia was not used to being separated from Yang Hai, and complained in a low voice: "What's the use of dividing this camp, when the time comes, how to fight or how to fight?" ”

"If you don't separate these hired mercenaries, what if they get together for a long time and start to fight for goods?" Yang Hai smiled: "The mercenaries don't know each other, but they can't prevent some people from being extremely clever in organizational skills, the lessons of the previous car, the division of the rear car, this journey is only three days and two nights, for the boss, some risks are better avoided." ”

Compared to the huge number of warrior battalions and mage battalions, the scout battalion was a bit pitiful, with 20 Octopus Alliance escort personnel, 12 mercenaries, and a total of 32 people, and there was only one Vault Dweller, one thief, and one hunter in it. Yang Hai thought to himself, this boss must be very confident in his own security power, so he dared not to pay attention to intelligence work.

The three of them were assigned to carry out reconnaissance work in three directions, and the tasks of the scouts were always dangerous and boring, but since this profession was chosen, then there seemed to be nothing to complain about. Yang Hai thinks it's not bad to get used to being part of the adventure team in advance, because sooner or later he will have to adapt to it.

Although he is now too far ahead of ordinary players, according to convention, the plot of previous online games only began to be really exciting after players reached the full level. Now the player's limited ability is not enough to uncover the most exciting part of this continent, this land of gods and mortals, conspiracy and intrigue is too many extraordinary existences, no matter how strong a person is, the most powerful will eventually need to rely on an elite team, and the Vault Dweller exists in a team, destined to take on the heavy responsibility of scouts.

Before leaving, Yang Hai lent the Night Keeper mask to Kakuluchia, and the camp will hang countless True Eyes on the perimeter to prevent the infiltration of the Stalkers. If any mage slips his hand and shines the true eye in the crowd, Kakuluchia's disguise will be immediately revealed, think about it, a dragon banishes a human arcane, plus an Arahan who hates Kakulucia to the core, things will immediately develop in an unpredictable direction, in order to avoid this risk, it is necessary for the big boss to bring the Night Keeper.

The caravan departed, and Yang Hai and the other two scouts clashed their fists, wishing each other good luck, and then walked to the area they were responsible for.

In the plains on the outskirts of the Stans Hills, the Death Trade Route to the Broken Sun Trail has officially kicked off—

It turned out that Yang Hai's previous judgment was wrong.

He thought scouting would be a rather boring job, but it wasn't boring at all. It's been less than three hours since he walked, and he doesn't remember how many enemies he's killed.

Yang Hai unleashed the Vault Dweller's Divine Skill Shadow Fade, tiptoeing, rubbing forward little by little—another target.

He didn't care about this skill before, but his later adventures proved that this skill was really a magic skill, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a housekeeping skill. Neither a thief nor a drow scimitar warrior could have roamed the scorching sun as freely as the Vault Dweller did, as he had in the night. In the clash of stealth professions, having this skill is equivalent to having a 100% first-mover advantage.

Yang Hai held the sword in his backhand, and the hilt of the sword smashed on the back of his peers. The first attack the Rogue takes while invisibility is blocked by a skill called "Shadow Shield", so there is no need to use all your strength in the first place.

This attack deceived the shadow shield, and Yang Hai gave full play to the advantage of the backhand sword, flipped over his hand, and stabbed the long sword into the back of the enemy's heart.

Cleaning his weapon on the corpse, Yang Hai took a look and found that the stalker he had dealt with by himself was a troll. He had seen this news on the forums before, and the bandits who gathered in the Stans Hills would not attack the caravan directly, they would first send an advance force to analyze the caravan's strength and the value of the goods, and then choose the right target for themselves. Probably all these people who solved it themselves were advance troops.

As Yang Hai was thinking, a brilliant red spark flickered in the eastern sky.

It was an emergency assembly signal for the caravan to discuss, Yang Hai frowned, re-entered the stealth state, turned on the shadow of vanishing, and rushed up on the wasteland. (To be continued......)
