Noble Emblem

Beta nodded slightly to the others, and then asked: "How is the situation now?"

"We can still hold on." Although she said it was okay, Alice's face was not very good: "We have a total of more than 8,000 troops, but about 2,000 soldiers have lost their ability to fight."

This is why Beta saw many seriously injured people at the gate of the military camp.

"Can I go up to the city wall and have a look?" Beta asked. Alice is the commander-in-chief here. If he rushes up to the city wall, not to mention whether he will be stopped by others, it is disrespectful to Alice.

"I'll take you up and explain it to you."

In this way, Alice took Beta to the city wall.

Almost all the troops in the northern pass come from Tonggu City, and after two years of development in Tonggu City, most of the people are already believers in the Cult of Wealth. When Beta first entered the camp, because most of the people he met were wounded soldiers, no one recognized him.

But the city wall was full of alert and highly vigilant men, so as soon as Beta arrived on the city wall, many believers recognized him.

A large group of soldiers bowed and saluted him, and Beta waved as he walked. If we weren't on the battlefield now, Beta believes that many people would kneel down.

As the Pope, Beta's status in the Wealth Cult is second only to Woking, and because of the miracle some time ago, Beta's reputation in the sect has been enhanced by a mysterious aura. Even the light believers have a high regard for Beta. Enough awe, not to mention those true believers and fanatics.

Alice didn't find anything strange about this, and she had no other thoughts.

Alice is very clear about the appeal of religion to people's hearts. She was canonized as a knight by Beta, became a professional, went on adventures with Kyle and Beta, experienced many things, and was also influenced by them invisibly. In fact, in essence, Alice Si is also a light believer in the Cult of Wealth.

Therefore, Alice does not dislike her own army and has the same beliefs as herself.

In addition, Alice could feel that the morale of the army had improved significantly after Beta went up to the city wall.

Even the Pope has come to the front line in person, which is an inspiring act in itself for the grassroots soldiers working underneath.

Beta walked behind the wall stacks and looked at a continuous stretch of white tents stationed about a kilometer below the city wall. Judging from the number of soldiers in front of the enemy tents and the number of tents, the total number of enemies should exceed 20,000. .

Moreover, the enemy's camp was protected by a layer of light red barrier. Even from a distance of a thousand meters, Beta could feel the headache-inducing magic power fluctuations emanating from the barrier.

"Such an exaggerated barrier... It feels like the Zoroastrian Cult has almost sent all the elite priests here." Beta sighed: "It seems that they are bound to win the Bronze Drum City. What is the reason?"

Alice shook her head, indicating that she was unclear.

Beta had the 'Cloud Dragon Blue Eyes' and could see extremely far away. He glanced at it for a while and suddenly asked: "I didn't see a drow. What's going on?"

Alice was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The drow participated in the siege the day before yesterday, but they were defeated by us, so they probably retreated to the camp to rest. After all, the drow don't like to act in the sun. "

"They are not vampires. Just because they don't like it doesn't mean they can't!"

Beta's tone became a little more serious. He looked at the towering mountains on the left and right of the city wall. Such steep mountains were an insurmountable gap for ordinary people and the army, but for drow elves, this was not the case.

"Alice, you immediately set up two small troops, one of about a thousand people, preferably cavalry, to patrol the foot of the mountain near the pass in batches day and night. I suspect that the drow are about to cross the mountain and come in."

When Alice heard this, she looked stern and nodded.

"Another force of 500 people will return to Tonggu City, guard the four city gates, and put them on alert."

Alice continued to nod.

Beta thought for a while and continued: "It's still not safe enough. I'll ask Katie to take her team back to help you guard the city gate in a while. Most drow elves are assassins and are good at operating at night. Most people are not theirs at night. Opponent. Katie is also an assassin. With her help, things will be much easier."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief: "Beta, it's a good thing you're here. If you didn't say these things, I wouldn't know how to deal with it. I would just face it head-on."

Alice is a qualified general who leads troops to fight. She is not bad at all and she dares to charge and fight. But in terms of tactics and strategy, she is a bit weak. After all, she is a half-elf, and her personality does not like to think about these twists and turns. In addition, she was well protected in the past and has no experience in war. She can bring it with her The army, holding the northern pass for several days, has done a good job.

"We'll talk about these things later. You go and make arrangements for the past two years. I'll go back to Waking City and bring some people over to help."

Alice immediately got off the city wall, and Beta teleported directly back to Waking City.

Then he directly found Judy who was resting in the room.

Butterfly Girl is cleaning her own pair of wings. Although theoretically speaking, as a master, her body will not get dirty easily, but for female reasons, she still likes to clean her body.

After all, she felt that Beta must also like girls who are clean and smell good.

Judy was naturally very happy to see Beta. Beta explained the things facing Tonggu City, and then said: "Therefore, I want to hire your mercenary group."

Judy was of course absolutely convinced, but she still said with some worry: "I have to discuss this matter with the members, but don't worry, Beta, I will try my best to convince them."

Hearing that it was possible to help Beta so soon, Judy was naturally very excited and felt that she was of use.

Beta said: "I'll go with you. When you ask for help, you have to look like you're asking for help. At least it looks sincere."

More than ten minutes later, when Beta and Judy appeared at the mercenary station together, everyone in the Silver Wings mercenary group had strange expressions on their faces.

Beta stated his intention, and then said: "I will pay commission according to the rules of the mercenary world. Because it involves war, the number of mercenaries this time is ten times that of the past. I am willing to pay 300 gold coins to hire you." ”

When all the mercenaries heard about this amount of gold coins, they all looked dazed. For them, this was really an unimaginable huge amount of money. Three hundred gold coins were divided among individuals, and each person had two. Ten gold coins.

Even the calmest old mercenary had a look of confusion on his face, but he quickly came to his senses and asked, "His Majesty the Pope, is this matter very dangerous?"
