Chapter 141: The situation is grim
That day, a guest arrived with bad news.
That guest was the deputy head of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment and the seventh-level Sword Sect Ruke. He came on a fourth-level demonic beast, the Iron Armor Beast, and was followed by more than fifty cavalrymen.
When he saw Dip, Ryucco's expression was very bad, and he said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, I am taking people away today. The Black-Eyed Leader already has a lord, so there is no need for our mercenary group to be stationed in the Black-Eyed Lord. I'm so sorry!"
"Huh?" said Dip chuckled in his heart. He's actually counted the town's mercenaries into his total strength. The reason why they didn't send someone to contact them was because they were afraid that Ritter and them would be scared away. But why did the deputy head of the regiment suddenly take those mercenaries away today?
Then Dip immediately asked, "Why? Don't you have two or three months left?"
"Your Excellency, we are obligated. "It's because His Excellency the Baron is new that we've only stayed a few more days. But I also saw just now that His Excellency the Baron has formed his own private army, so he shouldn't need us!"
Dip's suspicions grew stronger. Could it be that someone is behind the scenes to transfer the mercenaries from the town? So Dipu immediately probed: "Mr. Ryuko, you also know that my private army has just been formed, and it is of little use. Otherwise, how about I pay to hire and keep some people?"
Dipu's intentions are obvious, the mercenaries are supposed to work for money. If Ryuko still refuses, then there must be something wrong.
Unexpectedly, Ryuke shook his head, which made Dipu's heart sink as well. But seeing that Dipu's expression was ugly, Ryuko also sighed and explained: "It's not that I won't stay, it's that it's too dangerous here now. Your Excellency, listen to my advice, and find an excuse to stay in the city, and come back when this time has passed. ”
"Huh?" Dipu wondered at once. This Ryuko, since he wants to take people away, he must make the Blackeye Collar defenses empty, and it is more likely that he has colluded with the Ghost Knife or Allen. But why did he persuade him? And kindly persuaded himself to leave.
Then Dip asked, "What is the matter, Mr. Ryuko, can you understand?"
"Ahh Seven or eight days earlier, Ritter and Pete had taken twenty brethren to lead a caravan and should have returned, but there had been no news. The brothers who stayed were also anxious, so they informed me. So I took someone to see it. I didn't expect ......! It was something that happened on the way back. It must have been done by a robber in the mountains. ”
But when he said this, Dipu became strange: "Is it really a robber?
"No!" Ryuko shook his head, and said with certainty, "Ritter, they're all veterans, and they all keep the marks of our mercenary group along the way." It's on the way back. And we have also found the body, judging by the method, it is a robber, and it will definitely not be wrong. ”
They were indeed very careful, not only ordering those who stayed behind to come and look for them as soon as the time expired, but also leaving marks unique to the Tiger Mercenary Group along the way. When Ryuko found the body, it was stripped naked and not buried, and the body was gnawed to pieces by the wild beasts in the mountains. Such obvious traces, of course, Ryuka can affirm.
But Liuke didn't know that this was the suspicion between Pino and Ganlin, and it was also the reason why God Handrison did it. In this way, although the Tiger Mercenary Group knew that it was the business introduced by Pi Nuo, and even knew that it was accompanied by Gan Lin, it ...... The caravan was delivered to its destination, the money was paid, and Ganlin and the others returned. Narete and they were robbed by robbers, that is bad luck!
Therefore, the Tiger Mercenary Group has some suspicions at most, but this suspicion can't move Pi Nuo and Gan Lin at all. Besides...... Pino and Gan Lin will also leave, not afraid of revealing their identities at all. Why? Let's lay the groundwork here!
Then Luke admonished: "Your Excellency, Baron, along the way, I have also found that there is chaos in the mountains, and something serious must happen. And just now I heard from the brothers in the town that Your Excellency just robbed the land of the ghost knife. Besides, along the way, I found not only the Ghost Knife Centaurs, but also the Leopard-headed Centaurs from all walks of life. It is likely that it will be a joint force. ”
"Let's just make it clear, our mercenary group is not willing to wade into this muddy water. And this news can't be hidden, and other major mercenary groups are not expected to come. Of course, His Excellency can go to the city and give it a try, maybe some small mercenary group or scattered mercenaries will come to pick it up. However, the price is definitely high, and the credibility is not guaranteed. Therefore, Your Excellency must be careful, and avoid it if you can! I'm really sorry this time, if Your Excellency the Baron takes a photo in the future, then our mercenary group will definitely give you a discount! If you have something to do, you will leave first!"
......
Dip understands what Ryuko means, and he is also kind, so his credibility is quite high.
Therefore, Dipu has a feeling that a storm is coming. Now there are not only a thousand people with ghost knives, but also other gangs, and the number is exaggerated, is it 3,000? Or 5,000? Dipu was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry: "Is it necessary? Do you want to kill me completely? Allen! How much do you hate me? Qiu Min was married by your father! It's not what I want." Most...... And you have a younger sister! Made! mutton has not been eaten, but it is a mess!"
Therefore, many things are one misunderstanding after another, and everyone's behavior will bring unpredictable results.
If you have nothing to say, let's face the reality! The current black-eyed leader will definitely not be able to hold on, and the only choice is to retreat. Where can he retreat? Not to mention how the more than 1,000 people will be resettled? He is also very reluctant to let Dipu give up like this.
So Dipu no longer hesitated, and his single-mindedness also came up. Dipu immediately summoned the main people in the castle and told them the new news. And it was also decided that he would personally go to the mountains to reconnoiter the situation.
Dipu also figured out that it would definitely take a while for so many people to come. If you can find out the time when the ghost knife will send troops, the black-eyed leader will be able to make arrangements early to reduce the difficulty of retreating. In addition, it can also cause some damage by the way.
And Dipu's decision made everyone explode at once!
