Ride and Cut
Chapter 40 The Wind Rises
When the negative emotions subside slowly and rationality regains the high ground, Anne actually has the qualities that an excellent businessman should have, she is a smart and sensitive person.
So she quickly discovered the abnormality of Gaoshanbao.
First, the night before, the scouts reported that the lord of the Alpine Fort led his guards and cleared the money overnight to drive out the surrounding bandits, and they didn't close the team until midnight.
It wasn't until the next day that she walked into the Alpine Fort camp, only to find that even the few carriages had been dismantled into wooden boards to build crude fortifications.
Annie asked them why they did this. The people who dismantled the car refused to say anything at first, but she couldn't stand it after asking again and again, and finally reluctantly said that it was following the order of the lord.
All these facts lead very clearly to a conclusion which Anne finds hard to believe.
"Aren't you planning to go back to Cologne?" When Annie found Li Cha, the latter was busy instructing the leaders to use grass leaves as a disguise.
The lush grass leaves cover the entrance of the nest, and it is difficult to find that there are people living inside without getting close. Looking at the number of grass leaves they prepared, they wanted to hide all the buildings in the entire Alpine Fort.
"I won't go back. I think the business you mentioned is good. I'm going to grab the iron ore." Li Cha smiled at Annie, his tone as flat as saying that he would beat two more eggs when eating noodles in the afternoon.
Last night, he led people to capture a few bandits overnight and tortured them, and the confession he obtained can basically confirm the information Anne provided.
The female entourage who had been following Annie's profile was very indifferent and strict, adhering to the principle that silence is golden. At this moment, he suddenly lowered his head and covered his face with his armor, coughing a series of coughs like choking on water.
"Master Richard, you always like to joke so much." Annie seemed convinced that she had seen through his bluff, and she nodded with a smug smile, "But I'm not such an easily deceived little girl."
"I'm not joking." The lord was very depressed. He always believed that he was the kind of serious and prestigious classic lord. How could anyone think that he was funny.
Li Cha stared into Annie's eyes, "So many forces are working on the idea of iron mines, so it's strange that I'm one more. The monk can touch it, but I can't touch it."
"Are you crazy?" Annie could feel that Li Cha's tone and mood at the moment didn't sound like a joke, but he was absolutely too serious.
"For a melee of that scale, dozens of people can't even make a splash. You can't even see the real master, and the manpower of Gaoshanbao is about to die!"
"Taking chestnuts out of fire is not like wrestling your wrists. Strength is more important than farts. The key lies in skill and precision." Li Cha rolled his eyes innocently, as if Annie was making trouble out of no reason.
"In addition, Miss Anne, I have to remind you, what is the manpower of Gaoshanbao? They are all elites with one enemy against one hundred. You can insult me... well, no, you can neither insult me nor my subordinates."
I have to admit——in the face of the extreme disparity, his unreasonable but reasonable self-confidence is indeed particularly convincing in this precarious moment.
Annie couldn't help being in a trance for a moment - did she not keep up with the times? Seventy or eighty people participated in a melee of seven or eight thousand people. Should it be a matter of course that they should win?
"What's your plan?" She tried her best to find out the source of the other party's confidence.
Even if the other party said at this time that she was actually a golden dragon rider who had been hiding for a long time, that coming to the wilderness to be a lord was purely a hobby, and that she was about to summon a giant dragon to push her all the way, she could barely accept it.
"I'm going to form an alliance with the most powerful dwarf tribe, and come up with a central blooming tactic." As a result, Li Cha fired a cannon as soon as he opened his mouth.
The last guy who loved to shoot empty guns like him and thought he was good, died in Meng Lianggu many years ago.
"Then how to pass through the blockade of other tribes?" Annie continued to ask unwillingly.
"This is temporarily a military secret."
"What is the way to avoid the pursuit of the falcon?"
Li Cha coughed twice and cleared his throat. When the other party was ready to listen, he said, "This is also a military secret for the time being."
Annie's fingers were suddenly clenched into fists, and her white teeth were gritted. Half-elves have the reputation of being quiet and elegant, but that means that they are usually no less tempered than humans when they are really annoyed.
"Hurry up!"
A few savages yelled and ran past them in a hurry, joining the assembled alpine fortress guards, and by the way, drew Anne's eyes.
The highland barbarians and centaurs are gradually lining up under the command of their respective little leaders. In addition to them, there are two fat figures with three blades in the queue, wearing dark blue robes and hoods, which are very eye-catching.
The two stood there quietly and calmly. Even though the weather was a little hot now, they were still tightly wrapped in robes, and they couldn't see the flesh inside, which seemed very mysterious.
Not far away, there was a short man wearing a long robe and hood of the same style. He took off his hat to reveal a furry dog face, squatting in the shadow of his tall companion, sticking out his tongue to enjoy the cool. Whenever his companion moved a little, he scrambled to avoid it, so as not to be accidentally trampled to death.
Annie blinked her eyes twice. She recognized Nehru and knew that he was a kobold shaman who was captured not long ago.
If Nehru is a shaman, then the two big men wearing the same clothes are probably also shamans. How can there be so many spellcasters in Gaoshanbao?
"My magic advisory group." Li Cha noticed Annie's gaze, and smiled calmly, without a trace of fireworks. "The scale is small, and it is still in the initial stage for the time being. I am laughing at you."
Anne and the entourage gasped as they leaned together. It was one thing to guess, and another thing to have a guess confirmed.
There are three spellcasters in this small open territory, which is too exaggerated and too extravagant! While Annie was taken aback, she had to re-evaluate the strength of Alpine Fort.
She had to admit that Li Cha's arrogance had the confidence to exist.
The number of Alpine Fort Guards is indeed pitifully small, but there is really no one redundant. Check it out - highland barbarians, centaurs, shamans, all powerful races.
Which one is not a powerful party in their respective fields, which one has not proved their strength with a great reputation, which one can not be scared to tears by releasing their name?
This configuration is enough to make any commander go crazy with jealousy, even compared to Pompeii's elite army—no, it's You Sheng Sanfen. What a waste, a colossal waste, to gather together in a bodyguard of country lords in the middle of nowhere in the wilderness.
Instead of questioning whether they have the ability to create miracles, it is better to say that the existence of this guard is itself a miracle!
If this is born for miracles, then why question it.
