Chapter 19 The Pas Fruit and the Forest Red Fruit
"Five of the top ten mercenary groups of our Mercenary Guild are still active overseas, and one has just returned to the Yala Continent and is in the recuperation period of replenishing the strength of the soldiers, so in addition to the three teams on duty in the Yala Continent, there is only one that can really be mobilized normally, that is, a total of four mercenary groups can be sent to participate in this war. ... β¦ the top novel," said Ms. Sarah, the head of the Roland Grass Mercenary Regiment, who is the rotating vice president of Free City.
After deciding who to go deep into the Death Forest, the meeting gradually returned to the main topic, and the protagonist of the meeting changed from the nominal leader of each faction to the person in charge of many practical things, and even some of the leaders who were not promised to be the chairman entered the meeting hall one after another. For example, in Free City, the spokesperson has changed from President Carla to his deputy, and it just happens that Sarah, who is in charge of the specific affairs of the guild this year, is the head of the Sarah, and in the same way, the elf side has naturally changed to the legendary level of the royal court ruling Ms. Rebecca, this female elf who has served as the ruling of the royal court for four hundred years has the appearance of a middle-aged woman, with a pair of small rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her expression is full of shrewdness and ability, hearing Sarah's words, Rebecca frowned and said: "Four mercenary groups?" That's a total of 40,000 people? β
The characteristics of the Yala world are very special, especially in the past few hundred years, powerful demigods often deliberately disconnect from actual power, most of them no longer control a certain force, even if they have to become leaders, they also deliberately do not control the real power, and hand over the actual power to people at the legendary level or below, and only exist as spiritual leaders. But the strange thing is that since the demigods did this intentionally, there have been more disputes between forces in peacetime, but there have been fewer real wars, and there has not even been any world war in the last two or three hundred years, and even local conflicts have decreased a lot, so that the world of Yara has ushered in a golden age of rapid population development.
"Forty-seven thousand, actually. Sarah corrected, "But the number of close professionals can reach thirty-five thousand, I think that's the number." It should be enough for both of us to cooperate. β
"Thirty-five thousand should be about the same. Rebecca pondered for a moment and nodded: "Since most of the troops need to be deployed on the front line of the Elven Forest and the Sighing Desert, there are only about 20,000 Elven Forest Guards that can be mobilized on our side, so that more than 50,000 troops can also carry out frontal high-intensity combat." However, we don't want to lose much of your troops fighting outside, after all, most of your troops are still humans, and this is the first time in more than a thousand years that you have fought in large-scale coordination with humans. I'm sure you'll understand, even our royal court. There was a lot of pressure to make this decision, and if the losses were too great, we would not be able to account for them. β
"We understand your difficulties very well, and in fact, we are very grateful for your initiative to cooperate in forming a coalition this time. Kemberg, the logistics representative of the Adventurers' Guild and the vice president in charge of resource allocation, said, "For a neutral place that does not have a formed long-range archery unit, your TiyΓ¬ is simply the best gift, if an undead war really breaks out. With the ranged assistance of your Elven warriors, our combined forces on the Neutral side can reduce a lot of damage. So rest assured that we will provide the best possible protection for your long-range support forces, as long as the front does not collapse completely. We will never let you suffer too much loss. β
"Actually, it's mutually beneficial. Rebecca said unabashedly: "If we are just guarding the elven forest, we can be effectively protected by relying on the terrain of the forest, but if we want to fight outside the forest, the forest guards who are not protected by close troops will definitely suffer heavy losses." So you provide the line of defense. We offer remote support, which is a great benefit to both parties, and I just hope that you can be fair. β
"We've already talked about it. In addition to the four mercenary groups that are fighting head-on, the mercenary group that is in the recuperation period will also participate in the war, but as the escort of your ranged legion. Sarah introduced: "The strength of the Silver Lily Mercenary Group is not low in the top ten mercenary groups, although some members have been lost in the past two years of overseas development, but the core strength has not lost much, they are responsible for providing protection for the forest guards, even if the front is defeated, it can also ensure that your troops have enough time to evacuate." β
As time went on, the delegates' discussion about the formation of a joint force between the two sides became more and more in-depth, and Pannis sat idly on the side for a while, casually said hello to take a breath, and left the meeting room slowly, and within a minute, Frael also found an excuse, handed over the negotiation task to Rebecca, and chased him out. The girls glanced at each other, and knew that there was nothing to do with them now, so they quietly followed. No one objected to the departure of these people, and even the two elves, Antuin and Rebecca, only sighed with a headache and continued their discussion as if they didn't see it.
"Click, click", as soon as Frael went out, she heard a chewing sound from the terrace not far away, and when she turned her head, she saw that Pannis was lying on the railing of the terrace with her feet crossed, holding a red Paz fruit in her hand, and she was clattering and enjoying it. Frael shook her head, walked over and leaned against the railing, snatched the Pas fruit from Pannis's hand and took a bite, frowned and stuffed it back into Pannis's hand and said, "No matter how you eat it, you think the Pas fruit has a strange sour taste, didn't you like to eat it before?"
"Suddenly it tastes good. Pannis continued to nibble on the rest of the fruit, threw the pit into the trash can without looking, shrugged his shoulders and said, "People's habits always change, since I suddenly feel that it tastes good, I like to eat it." β
"Oh, that's it?" Frael leaned against the railing, pulled out a few red berries out of nowhere, stuffed one into Pannis's mouth, and asked with a smile, "I thought it was Nelly's favorite fruit back then, so you ate it every day, but it just tasted good." If that's all there is to it, why don't you try the red fruit of the jungle, how it tastes first, at least you can eat it at any time of the year, compared to the Paz fruit that only ripens in summer, at least you don't need to spend most of your time only savoring the taste of nostalgia in your memories. β
"Alas, Fraer, don't do that again. Pannis sighed deeply and snatched the other berries with his hand: "I don't want to think about this now, I haven't done anything yet, and when the time is over, I will definitely give an answer, whether it is for you or for you." (To be continued.) )
