Echo Town is now heavily guarded and heavily guarded. If you want to rely on force to rescue the imprisoned survivors, it is almost impossible for the dozen or so people under Victor to succeed. Even if you make full use of everyone's extraordinary abilities and carefully set up a plan, you can
It cannot be said that there is no hope at all to rescue all the nearly 100 survivors and transport them out safely. It is also very difficult.
The crux of the problem is that General Clark fabricated charges against the survivors of Braun Town, including Victor, Harvey, and Maddie, who are now criminals. They try to rescue their former companions by themselves, which is tantamount to opposing the entire city-state. This is to attack the stone with an egg.
Even if they succeed by luck, there will be big trouble waiting for them later.
Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, you should first find a way to clear yourself of the crime and avoid confrontation with the entire city-state force, so that the subsequent problems can be solved easily.
This is why McGrady and Harvey tried to become the commanders of the Flame Tiger Legion. They did not want to become a group of wanted bandits afterwards, and then a group of people could only hide in the wilderness with no resources and no future. Such a result.
It is not in the interests of Lord Victor.
Of course, Victor couldn't care about this now. The survivors in Braun Town were dying in the arena every day, and they couldn't hold on for long.
Ranger Ruth had just finished reading the intelligence summary that was circulated in turn, and then passed the letter in her hand to Jessica beside her. She said: "I saw a good news and a bad news... The good news is that Clark sent 20 of the refugees
All the Awakeneds under the age of 15 were sold to Sir Red, the leader of the Thieves Guild, and there are about a hundred of them."
"I remember, Sir Red was your former boss." Ruth said to the gladiatorial slave Kent.
Kent's eyes flashed fiercely and he said coldly: "I can dig out his skull and present it to the master."
Digging out the enemy's skulls and making them into wine glasses was used to express loyalty and please the master. This barbaric and cruel behavior was very popular among the slave gladiators in the Dark Valley.
Ruth didn't understand what Kent meant, and was stunned for a moment. Jessica next to her said, "You know something about the thief leader, don't you? We want to know, how do you think he will deal with the survivors?"
"Oh... I know some thieves, and I also know a few thieves' dens." Kent explained with some embarrassment: "I am just a small person in the Thieves Guild, and I don't know much... But I have participated in several slave escorts, those
Slaves were mostly not mistreated."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything."
Jessica turned to Victor and said: "Master, the Thieves Guild in Luoye City sells slaves for profit, so it should be able to ensure the life and health of the slaves. Therefore, we don't have to worry about those who were sold to the Thieves Guild for the time being. We have
There are clues about the Thieves Guild, so I won’t be afraid that I won’t be able to find them in the future.”
"As for the survivors imprisoned in Echo Town, their situation is relatively bad."
Jessica flipped through the letter and pointed to the paragraph above and said: "I see the information you have gathered. It says that if the famous disciples of Luoye City pay Clark a sum of money, they can personally or send followers to fight with the refugee slaves.
'Fair' gladiatorial competition. It doesn't matter even if they kill the refugee slaves on the spot, because they have already paid Clark."
"How can we call it fair to let unarmed awakened people fight with heavily armed professional venerables? These young men from famous families are using our people to practice with their own hands!" Harvey shouted angrily.
Victor's green eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said calmly: "It's useless to be angry... You might as well think of a way to rescue them."
"To rescue these people, we must go to Echo Town ourselves." Ruth looked at Victor and comforted her gently: "There must be a way. At least we still have a ranger career path. If we make good use of it, we can
Do a lot of things.”
"The question is is it worth it?" Jessica asked Harvey and McGrady on the opposite side: "Is it worth exchanging the Ranger career path for the remaining dozens of survivors?"
McGrady didn't hesitate much, nodded and replied: "It's not worth it."
Harvey also nodded, agreeing with McGrady's view.
Their joint statement relieved Victor's moral burden, and both Ruth and Jessica also smiled.
Maddie coughed dryly to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "The youngest and most promising group of survivors in Braun Town have been bought. They are safe for the time being, so we can leave it alone."
"Dr. Cole is hiding in Jinsha Town. He is very important to us. We have already contacted him, but this guy is timid and cautious. Although he has made an appointment with us to meet at a place, I don't think he dares to come. We
To convince Cole to follow Lord Victor, there is no need to rush this matter, I am afraid that it will be delayed until the end, and there will be changes."
"So, I suggest that we solve Dr. Cole's problem first, and then go to Echo Town and try our best to find a way to rescue the remaining survivors... If it doesn't work, we have to give up the rescue. We can't save them all at the cost of all of us.
Get in."
Things must be done in order of priority. The survivors imprisoned in Echo Town are in the most critical condition and will be difficult to rescue, but their weight is the lightest.
If Victor's team rescues them first, they are afraid of making a big fuss and causing changes on Dr. Cole's side.
Maddie and Harvey weighed the pros and cons and agreed with the Ranger sisters' suggestion that they should deal with Dr. Cole's problem first and then rescue the survivors in Echo Town.
When you are in a difficult situation and have to make a choice, your reason is very cold and often cannot make the difference.
Victor knew very well that by saying this, they were actually planning to give up rescuing those companions who were being tortured. An anger grew in his heart, not because of the rationality or indifference of his men, but because of Clark and the people behind him.
The famous Yinpanjiao clan even felt resentful towards the entire Luoye City and had the idea of completely destroying them.
There is only a simple logic here. Aunt Sarah asked Victor to take care of the people in the Adventurer's House if he could, but General Clark at the Silver Plate Corner was persecuting them without any scruples!
Then, Fallen Leaf City is Clark's accomplice, and they all deserve to die!
As for the famous nobles in Luoye City, there are always those who oppose Clark, and most of the legionnaires under his command have nothing to do with this matter, so Victor does not consider it at all.
Christine was always paying attention to her master. She sensed the hatred and anger, and said: "Master, the adventurer Hansen you asked me to investigate has been controlled and enslaved by me. He went on an adventure with the Shadow of the Black Crow.
The regiment’s secrets are all within our control.”
"The Black Crow Shadow adventure group has long been infiltrated by a cult that believes in demons. Hansen is a peripheral member of that cult. He was ordered to follow the Black Crow Shadow to Godore Fortress to wait for a mysterious contact person, and then learn from the contact person's name.
He got the fortress defense map in his hand. After that, he stayed in Jinsha Town to wait for the next order. The day before yesterday, a member of the Black Crow Shadow came to tell him that he would pick up a few 'guests' near the east waterfall outside Jinsha Town in the evening the day after tomorrow.
Give the defense map of Godore Fortress to the 'guest'."
"Those 'guests' are very easy to identify. They are one or several barbarians."
Victor had already heard Christine talk about this information, and he was not very surprised. But other followers were greatly shocked by Christine's news.
"The cultists used the defense map of Godore Fortress to make a deal with the barbarians?!"
"Is there a spy within the Flame Tiger Legion?"
"My goddess, the barbarians and orcs want to conquer the defense line of Godore Fortress in one fell swoop?!"
Harvey and Maddie are both from the military, while Ruth and Jessica graduated from college and have studied military knowledge. They know very well how difficult it is to draw a fortress defense map. Most people will never be able to draw it even if they walk through the fortress several times.
Come out. Besides, the interior of the military fortress is never open to outsiders.
Obviously, the Flame Tiger Legion has been infiltrated by a cult.
What's even more frightening is that this cult secretly colludes with half-orcs and barbarians. Whether they do it for money or for other ulterior motives, the final result is to betray the half-elf country.
Half-elves betrayed their city-state to aliens?
This is something that everyone cannot understand.
Victor said slowly: "I thought of the sage Myen who lived outside the town of Braun. He was exiled because he advocated the abolition of slavery. Myen told me that because of the barbarian slaves and barbarian female slaves, Di
The Sa Alliance has no secrets about the war chief of the Blackfire Tribe."
"Do you really think that this war is just Luoye City's revenge against the foreign Orc clan?"
"The Lake Braun basin has always been a land that the Blackfire Orcs and Disa Half-Elves have wanted to seize."
"However, the Disa Alliance and the Black Fire Tribe cannot break out a full-scale war in the Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, there is a krill river between Braun Town and the Lakeside Barbarians. They respectively represent the Disa Alliance and the Black Fire Tribe's rights to that land.
Control.”
Victor looked at Harvey and Maddie and asked: "Otherwise, do you think the Flame Tiger Legion will sell sophisticated military equipment to Braun Town?"
Harvey was stunned, and Maddie was also deep in thought. They discovered that the Flame Tiger Legion had been providing convenience to Braun Town for a long time. Even the commander of the Legion would ask them for money, but it had never violated the fundamental interests of the Adventurer's House.
Protect Braun Town from wind and rain.
Braun Town is able to continuously cultivate awakened people and professionals, thanks to the secret protection of General Baltru. With his level of support, is the money given by the Adventurer's House enough?
The reason is simple. The Flame Tiger Legion needs Braun Town to gain a firm foothold under the barbarians.
However, the alien orc clan disrupted the balance of the Lake Braun basin. Now, it is their turn to find a way to gain a foothold in this fertile land.
"Why do the new Orc invaders fight against the army of Luoye City?"
"Only by surrendering to the great chief of the Blackfire Tribe can they survive!"
Victor looked around and said again: "What conditions do you think the Blackfire Chief will put before he is willing to accept the surrender of outsiders?"
Harvey suddenly understood and immediately replied: "Let them capture Godore Fortress!"
This guy has an upright temperament, but his intelligence is worrying... Victor secretly vomited, shook his head and said: "I said from the beginning that both the Black Fire Tribe and the Disa Alliance want control of the Lake Braun basin. Because Lake Braun is rich in phosphorus
Pearls, the treasures within can please the Dragon King."
"The foreign orc clans also need this fertile land to thrive, but the Godore Fortress in Fallen Leaf City is located high up, posing the most direct threat to the Braun Lake Basin."
"Only if the half-elves admit their defeat, will they admit that they have lost control of the Lake Braun Basin. Next, the Blackfire Chief will ask the Disa Alliance to delineate the boundaries. From now on, the Lake Braun Basin belongs to the half-orcs.
Luoye City can no longer send troops to conquer this territory, otherwise it will be the party that provokes a full-scale war."
"The problem is that even if the Orc invaders defeat Clark's legion, Luoye City will not admit defeat. Because Godore Fortress is still in their hands, Clark's defeat will only result in the loss of some troops, and Luoye City can still send more reinforcements.
"
"This is the absolute gap in strength. The foreign orc clan can only win a small victory, but will eventually be expelled by Luoye City or even be completely wiped out."
"But if the indestructible Godore Fortress is invaded and Clark's legion suffers a disastrous defeat, Fallen Leaf City's response will be completely different."
"They will panic, be at a loss, and dare not continue to advance. Then they will mobilize for a full-scale war and ask for help from nearby half-elf city-states."
"When the time comes, the Black Fire Chief takes the initiative and accuses Luoye City of provoking an all-out war between the Disa Alliance and the Black Fire Tribe. Then it dispatches troops to respond and demands negotiations at the same time."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The result of the negotiation will definitely be that Luoye City gives up control of the Braun Lake Basin, and the Blackfire Tribe comes forward to control the newly arrived Orc clan, and peace is restored between the two parties."
There was silence in the living room. Everyone was digesting Victor's analysis and deduction of the situation. At this time, Harvey said stupidly, "Will the Orcs return Godore Fortress to Fallen Leaf City?"
Victor shook his head and laughed: "It is impossible for the Orc invaders to capture and occupy the Godore Fortress like they did to Braun Town... They only need to successfully invade and cause serious damage to shake the entire Luoye City.
"
"The conditions put forward by the Blackfire Chief are very difficult for the orc outsiders. Even if they can invade the Godore Fortress, they will probably be completely wiped out. Therefore, the Blackfire Chief used it to install it in the Disa Alliance
Some internal forces obtained a city defense map of Godore Fortress for outsiders to see if they had the guts to carry out this dangerous task."
Finally, the corners of Victor's lips curled up with a sarcastic arc: "The foreign orc clans will have no chance of survival if they don't fight hard this time. Even if they know that invading Godore Fortress is a life-or-death mission, they have no choice. Now, there is one
This is a useless fortress defense map, so they have to go all out to fight it."
"And Luoye City never thought that they would be defeated. When they are really defeated, they will be particularly shocked!"
When Ruth and Jessica heard this, their eyes were full of admiration, and they only felt that their beloved master was wiser than the half-elf sage.
"Yes, we can exchange this news for General Bartrew's support..." Maddie said excitedly with an idea.
"No!" Victor immediately interrupted him and said slowly: "This time, we want to help the orcs, but not to help them attack Godore Fortress... but to Echo Town."
