Steel steam and flame

Silence may be a sign of tacit consent, but in Ye Jielin's case, it has always been firm opposition. Already knowing what would happen next, Gabri wanted to close her mouth and cover it with her hands. But facing Ye Jielin, she always felt uneasy.

She didn’t know how many times she had sighed. Gabri couldn’t remember it for a long time, and there was no need to write it down, because there would be more later, until Ye Jielin truly grew into a qualified leader. Finish.

Following his own words, the idea of ​​blocking became how to ensure that the operation can proceed smoothly and with high security. Perhaps from the beginning, Gabrielle had subconsciously prepared two sets of rhetoric in her mind, corresponding to different situations, but she herself did not seem to have a clear understanding of this.

"Twenty days will all be spent on the journey, which cannot be solved. Most of your manpower is concentrated in Manoma and its surrounding areas. There are few strongholds in other parts of the empire." Gabriel said from A simple situation analysis begins, "I really want to know the authenticity of the information recently circulated in the black market, and personnel need to be screened. There are two categories involved, one is good at investigating and collecting and analyzing intelligence, and the other is ascertaining the information. Someone who can quickly make corresponding preparations based on the current environment and situation.”

"The first type of people is easy to say. They can be found everywhere. You can call a few from Fatty Atuohuan's men and follow the team. But the second type of people are extremely rare no matter where they are. This kind of people first need He has a certain level of strength, which is higher than the average level of most surgeons. Because only in this way can he clearly know what a high-quality surgeon can do in a battle or a tug-of-war that lasts too long. What advantages, and what kind of oppression will it bring to the enemy.”

"In addition, analysis of the situation, control of the battlefield, use of things in the surrounding environment, own experience, etc., are all necessary conditions for abnormal needs. The second type of people need these things. You cannot rely solely on a communicator You can set up your own defense network on the empire's frontier across a long distance, and you have to have someone actually take command there."

Gabriel stared at Ye Jielin, "I don't know if you have a candidate in mind, but in my eyes, apart from you, there is no one in your entire team who is qualified for this position. You definitely can't leave this station. Even if there is a chance for you to go out, the circle of Manoma is the limit of your activities. Once exceeded, no one can guarantee that they can protect you."

"I wonder if mercenaries would work?" Ye Jielin finally spoke. Surprised, Ye Jielin did not refute Gabri's words. Instead, she was seriously thinking about possible solutions. What Gabriel said is correct. "Some powerful mercenaries are operating in the border areas and gray areas of the empire. It is easy to obtain the information and locations of a large number of mercenaries waiting for business in the black market. If you can rely on money, If you solve some problems, it won't be a problem. It just so happens that those mercenaries can be driven by money, but the number will be relatively large."

"Furthermore, I can also use my own rights to use part of the resources in my family as a corresponding reward. Whether it is better weapons and equipment, medical resources, or surgical project development materials, these are all things that the mercenaries crave. This makes them excited and willing to take risks. Those people live on an edge all the time.”

Gabriel hadn't thought about this yet. She thought for a while before answering: "It is feasible. No one will have trouble with money, and the name of Webley Arms Company can also become an attraction for them to take risks. After that, they will sign a The long-term license to purchase weapons from various Webley suppliers in the empire is enough for many mercenaries to take over these jobs. However,,,"

The turning point that Ye Jielin expected occurred.

"Are you expecting these mercenaries to join together and defeat the teams of knight attendants and the teams led by some family elites?"

The words were full of ridicule, and Gabriel's point of view was already very obvious. "Absolutely not possible. At first I was still thinking that I didn't think it through completely and forgot about the existence of people like mercenaries. But if I think about it carefully, they can only play a role in some small incidents. I might as well make some data comparisons here. . The first is quantity. Needless to say, the two sides are evenly matched, and there is no shortage of people. The second is the comparison of weapons and equipment, used to target Cassia's team. Compared with the configuration of the mercenaries and the knights' attendants, they are completely civilian and The difference between the military and the military is that the standards for execution and judgment are different. The third one depends on strength. Except for the leader and captain of the mercenaries, the proportion of third-stage surgeries will not be very large. Most of them are supported by second-stage people. Create the main force of a mercenary team."

"And the fourth point..." Gabri thought for a while, "I think the above three points are enough to deny the idea of ​​mercenary direction."

"You still have to think about yourself." Gabriel lay back on the chair and didn't want to drink the wine in the glass. "The enemies are knight attendants and family elites. Each of them can give people a headache if they are taken alone. If you want to rely on To deal with them in some strange ways is to underestimate the strength and ability of these people."

"We still need to find a person who can be a competent commander. However, Cassia's appearance in a small country and returning to the empire is just news spread in the black market. The authenticity is not yet certain, and there are many suspicious points. If I were Cassia, quietly Returning to the empire, contacting you quietly, and then secretly planning and setting a trap, shouldn't this be the safest and most effective way? Why choose this, um, somewhat ostentatious and mindless approach? Simply want to attract attention Power? I don’t think it’s possible...” What he said after that was something that Gabriel didn’t think clearly about, and it was also something that many people didn’t understand due to the lack of information.

"It would be irrational to go to the border of the empire because there are many doubts. If you don't go, you will feel panicked, because this possibility does exist." Ye Jielin concluded, "We had no choice from the beginning."

Gabriel nodded, looking over and asking Ye Jielin - how are you going to deal with this situation?

Ignoring Gabriel's expressions, eyes, and some words is part of Ye Jielin's daily routine. The two of them began to think longer and longer. But both are patient, each waiting for the other's answer.

"It's not that there is no way. We still have people here who meet all the conditions, and the various ability statistics will be much higher." Ye Jielin narrowed her eyes, seeming to see a scene in a certain period of time in the future.

"I also thought of a person who suddenly popped into my head." Gabri responded immediately and sat upright. "It's just that the nature of the risk is proportional to the profit, and there is an element of gambling in it."

When Gabriel finished speaking, silence suddenly fell.

"Maybe we were thinking of the same person." Soon after, Ye Jielin said, but immediately changed her mind, "It's the same person."
