Blue Sword

Alfred suddenly remembered that the Crusaders he led were defeated by a mercenary group that seemed to have more women than men.

Isn't it? how come? Could it be that?

He recalled it hard and realized that for that mercenary group, except for ambushing one of the female pyromancers and then having a head-on fight with a female gun and shield warrior, he himself had never fought with any of the other members. Had a direct encounter.

The ones behind were beaten by the opponent's snipers and were stunned. Everyone who saw the opponent's appearance died, and the rest could only evacuate in confusion.

After the frontal troops arrived, Alfred was appointed as the commander of the northern defense line. As a result, the line he deployed seemed like paper in front of the opponent's mercenary team. He didn't even see the true face of the culprit. He suffered heavy casualties and was dismissed from his official position.

So is it the mercenary group in front of me?

Alfred stared at the opposite side, and the only male in the opposite team - who looked like the leader of the Blue Sword mercenary group - also looked over silently.

"Innsbruck defenders?" the other party asked.

"Baron, Alfred. On the order of the count, come to receive support and provide intelligence and necessary assistance." Alfred said.

This guy's voice sounded a bit familiar... Medea suddenly felt something was wrong, and read her mind again.

However, Alfred had already restrained his thoughts at this time and began to think about the war on the front line.

After all, he is now a baron subordinate to the Earl of Innsbruck, and his fiefdom is also within the principality. Naturally, there is no need to dwell on the grievances of the previous Crusaders.

Therefore, Medea did not read anything, but she knew that the war on the front line was very urgent...

"The war on the frontline is very urgent now." Alfred said, "Two extraordinary assault teams from the Wolf family have invaded the southern border from the direction of Verona, and all our outposts there have been taken away. ”

"How did you determine that the intruders were two extraordinary commandos?" Sheila asked.

"Because a large-scale military dispatch cannot be hidden from everyone." Alfred looked at the girl who was wearing a mask and sounded young, and said in a slightly mocking tone, "Those who have the ability to pull out the outpost without alerting us, It’s either a well-trained team of extraordinary commandos or demigods, that’s common sense.”

Of course it is impossible for demigods to do such chores, so it can only be the Raider Team. Silla didn’t pay attention to his sarcasm and just continued to ask:

"How to tell if there are two teams?"

"We marked the time and location of the lost contact with the frontline outposts on the map." Alfred said, "Then we connected the lines and calculated the opponent's traveling speed and route. It is the most likely for the two troops."

"I can't tell you still have some brains," Medea said mockingly.

"We are not Yeluzi's mercenaries." Alfred spread his hands and sneered, suddenly remembering the previous defeat, his expression was a little weird.

Noticing the flash of weirdness on his face, Medea activated her mind reading again and immediately understood what was going on - this guy turned out to be the guy who planned to ambush her during the Crusade!

She rolled her beautiful eyes a few times, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and had several plans in her mind:

The guy in front of him didn't know everyone's identities yet, so he could use this information to make a killing to avenge his ambush on her last time.

"Isn't the number of people clear?" Silla continued to learn the details.

"I don't know," Alfred said, "but I guess it won't be many, about seven or eight."

"It's unrealistic to expect an army of ordinary people to deal with extraordinary beings, so we also pulled out a team of extraordinary beings, led by me. We are responsible for solving one road here, and you are responsible for solving the other road. How about it? I heard that you The mercenary group is mostly composed of extraordinary people, right?"

While they were still talking, Medea secretly told Aske the current situation and her next plans through telepathic communication.

"Would you like to make a bet with him about who will complete the task first?" Asik was a little speechless. Why did this girl think about cheating people all day long? "Are you sure?"

"Don't forget that I can read minds." Medea said, "This guy named Alfred speaks half truths and half lies, but the average level of their team is indeed weaker than ours, and they are quite reluctant to fight against the invaders. "

"If we divide the troops according to what he said, then since our team is stronger, there is a high probability that we will deal with the enemy first. While he still knows nothing about it, we can just set a trap to force him to get in."

"There are also uncertain factors here." Asker said, "What if the enemies we encounter are stronger?"

"As long as I'm not a demigod, no matter how strong I am, can I be stronger than you, my leader?" Medea smiled slightly, "Don't you have the GM Nine Swords?"

"That's true." Ask had to admit that she was right. Based on Medea's mind-reading intelligence, Alfred confirmed that the level of intruders was generally around Lv.6-Lv.7.

And having mastered the Nine Star Styles, he is already a leader among his peers.

"Okay." He finally agreed.

So Medea crossed her arms and started to sneer: "We have no problem, but if you don't deal with that extraordinary person, what can we say?"

"I don't know what you mean," Alfred said.

"It's very simple." Medea said, "The employment mission we received from the Weisbach family is to help Innsbruck defend the city, not to help your city defense troops defend the city."

"In other words, if we are divided into two groups, we succeed and you fail, resulting in the fall of Innsbruck. Then the Weisbach family will not blame us for the failure of the mission just because you were the one who actually made the mistake. .”

"Ha!" Alfred understood what she meant this time and sneered, "So you can't trust us and are you afraid that we will hold you back?"

"This is your understanding." Medea said coldly.

The extraordinary beings behind Alfred immediately started shouting angrily.

It’s okay that these guys in front of you are mercenaries, but most of them are female mercenaries. We don’t think you are weak, but you are actually worried that we are holding you back?

In response to the anger of these extraordinary beings, Medea remained expressionless, her hands calmly clasped in her sleeves, and continued to skillfully manipulate the angry desires on the other side.

"What a shameless statement." Alfred laughed angrily, "Then if you can't solve it and we are blamed by the earl, what can we say?"

"So." Medea spread her hands and said lazily, "We don't have confidence in each other, right? Is it okay to forcefully divide the troops?"

"What does this lady mean?" The Earl of Innsbruck came up from behind and asked calmly, "You will deal with the two groups of invaders?"

"Of course, this is the safest way." Medea said seriously, which immediately aroused the glares and boos of the extraordinary people. "But it seems that your subordinates have a lot of objections to this."

"It's better than this." With some condescending contempt, Medea narrowed her eyes and looked at the extraordinary beings opposite her. "How about we make a bet? The Earl of Innsbruck will be the witness. Whoever kills him first will be responsible. Whoever comes back with extraordinary characteristics will win the bet."

"How much do you want to bet?" Alfred suddenly felt inexplicably wary.

"1,000 silver marks." Medea said with a smile, "Each side takes 1,000 silver marks and gives them to the Duke. The winner comes back and takes all the money."

A large banknote of 1,000 silver marks would take half a lifetime of savings for an ordinary middle class person, but it is not considered a huge amount of money in the extraordinary world. The monthly salary of extraordinary people like Alfred's is generally around 5-10 silver marks, and each of them can collect a year-end bonus and bet on it.

However, when this bet is proposed directly, the trap implications seem a bit obvious. The extraordinary people looked at each other, this... This does not mean that if you win, your annual reward will be doubled, but if you lose, your work will be in vain!

"Why, you don't dare?" Medea sneered, "It's okay if you don't want to. But if you don't even have the slightest confidence to win this bet, then I have to doubt your true strength. Your Excellency, Earl , these two groups of extraordinary beings who have invaded your territory should be dealt with by our mercenary group."

not good! Alfred's heart suddenly thumped.

Of course he knew clearly what this woman was doing, but what he knew better was that the Earl was a shameless person. The woman opposite made taunts in front of everyone, but as the earl's subordinates, they did not dare to respond. The earl must be unhappy.

Medea met the count's gaze, and her psychic ability secretly activated - implanting thoughts!

"Hahahaha." Completely unaware that his thoughts were being interfered with, the Earl laughed gently, "Alfred, since they said so, are you confident that you can lead the team to win this bet?"

Although his smile was kind and his tone sounded like a question, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious. For the count, it doesn't take a penny of extra money to stimulate his men to fight desperately. Of course, his attitude towards this is very clear.

Alfred burst into tears in his heart, this...can I say half a word?
