After listening for a while, he seemed to hear Zong Ge's voice.
He was so tired from practicing so hard last night that Zhen Jin didn't even take off his leather armor. He just threw aside the rapier, water bag and other items on his body and fell asleep.
At this time, he stood up directly, put on his rapier, opened the curtain door, and immediately walked out of the tent.
The quarrel had just ended, and Zonge was leaving with a group of people.
These people all held crossbows in their hands.
"Lord Zhenjin!" Xiaosuo saw Zhenjin and immediately seemed to have found his backbone.
He quickly ran to Zhen Jin and pointed at Zong Ge and others: "These people are too barbaric. They came over and took away most of the crossbows!"
When the people around Zong Ge saw Zhen Jin arriving, they all stood still and looked nervous.
Zong Ge stared at Zhen Jin quietly and said calmly: "We explored a radius of eight thousand meters yesterday and were attacked no less than twenty times. The more bows and crossbows we have, the faster our reconnaissance will be and the less damage we will suffer.
"
"Templar, I think you should understand what the situation is now."
Zhen Jin looked at Zong Ge and said nothing for a while.
The young man keenly observed that the stainless steel armor on Zong Ge was rougher and more deformed than he remembered, especially the obvious signs of huge squeeze between the waist and abdomen. This should be Zong Ge and the crocodile head and hammer tail.
What remains after the anaconda fights.
And behind Zong Ge, he not only carried the pair of short spears, but also a huge white bone hammer.
The bone hammer is surprisingly dense and heavy, and it is obviously modified from the tail bone of the crocodile-headed hammertail boa.
Zhenjin knows this.
Just yesterday, Zonge sent people to take away the tail bone of the crocodile-headed hammertail anaconda. Unexpectedly, they acted very quickly. One day later, Zonge added a new weapon.
Zhen Jin didn't speak, and Zong Ge didn't speak any more.
The two sides fell into a brief silence, and the stalemate gradually made the atmosphere tense.
"The bone hammer looks good." Suddenly, Zhen Jin smiled and broke the silence.
"Someone is injured? What are the casualties? Maybe I can arrange for Zidi to prepare a batch of healing potions." Zhenjin continued.
For some reason, when Zong Ge saw Zhen Jin smiling, he felt more nervous than before. But on the surface, Zong Ge had been quite calm: "The casualties are not big, so don't let Miss Zidi be busy with other things."
Let’s ask Miss Zidi to prepare more corrosive agents and make more triggers. Now, we need more crossbows.”
"The more, the better." Zonge reiterated.
Zhen Jin nodded: "It seems that you and I have the same idea. Then, I wish you good luck today."
"Sir..." Xisuo was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhenjin to let Zongge and his gang go directly.
Zong Ge didn't look surprised at all. He nodded to Zhen Jin and left the camp with the former mercenary members around him who breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Zong Ge's back, Zhen Jin found that his new weapon was very crudely modified. Basically, a wooden pole was inserted into the bone hammer to form a handle.
This is very similar to the spider blade that Zhenjin made from spider tentacles.
Then Zhen Jin spoke again: "Tonight..."
When the people around Zong Ge heard Zhen Jin's sudden words, they immediately raised their feet and turned around.
Zhen Jin continued: "You can send the bone hammer over, Muban's craftsmanship will be better."
Zong Ge paused and never looked back.
The majestic half-orc warrior continued to walk forward until he was out of the camp gate, and then he left a sentence - "Thank you very much."
Xiao Suo watched these people holding crossbows and leaving the camp smoothly: "Sir, are you going to let them go now?"
Zhenjin smiled: "They do need these crossbows."
Xiaosuo shook his head and said: "But, these are most of the crossbows we have on hand. We are all short."
"It's okay." Mu Ban came over and heard what Xiao Suo had just said, "We can make more. With the corrosive agent provided by President Zidi, I have made a template and can make triggers in batches. The quality of these triggers is better
Well, the made crossbow will also be stronger."
"As for the ones that Zong Ge and the others took away, they were basically soaked in sea water, went through battles, and were not properly maintained. They are all defective products. If they can be used against it, they are already good."
"What do you know?" Xiaosuo glared at Muban.
Muban lowered his head and stopped talking.
He is just an ordinary person, but Xisuo has a bronze-level cultivation.
"No, if there are newly made crossbows, we will also provide part of them to Zong Ge." Zhen Jin said.
"Ah? Sir, if you do this..." Xisuo was stunned.
Zhen Jin looked at Xisuo, his blue eyes becoming deep-set: "Rather than the crossbow, I want to know how Zong Ge and the others entered the camp."
"Who is on duty at this moment?" Zhen Jin asked.
"It's me, sir." Xiao Suo lowered his head quickly, but then he argued again, "Zong Ge came here with a large group of men. They came with great force and asked for crossbows. If I close the camp door tightly, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.
A bigger conflict. You know, I am just a bronze-level sailor. So, out of desperation, I took Zonge and a small group of people into the camp."
Zhen Jin asked again: "Why didn't you notify me?"
Xinsuo licked his dry lips: "Sir, I was about to send someone to inform you. I originally planned to deal with Zong Ge and persist for a period of time, but I didn't know that Zong Ge did not follow common sense and went directly to the Lieutenant General of the Arms Depot.
The crossbow was taken away by force!"
Zhen Jin fell silent, did not speak, and just looked at the thin rope.
It seemed that he was gradually unable to withstand the invisible pressure in Zhen Jin's gaze, and Xiao Suo lowered his head lower and lower.
Mu Ban on the side watched this scene and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Zhen Jin suddenly said: "Thin rope."
"Sir, I am always waiting for your orders." Xiaosuo said quickly.
Zhen Jin sighed softly: "You and I are both pure human beings, and we shouldn't despise each other's wisdom, right?"
"S-Sir..." At this moment, Xiao Suo seemed to be possessed by a fat tongue.
"Your performance this time really disappoints me." Zhen Jin continued.
"But I understand you and the pain and uneasiness in your heart. But please also understand the situation at hand. You also participated in yesterday's parliament, didn't you?"
"Go and guard the camp gate yourself. If a situation like today happens again, you should know what to do, right?"
Xinsuo half-knelt on the ground. In a short time, he broke out in a cold sweat. He covered his heart with his hand and promised Zhenjin: "Sir, I will stick to the camp gate with my life! If Zongge brings people here again
, I will definitely guard the camp gate and do my best!"
"Very good, then I'm looking forward to your performance. Come on down."
After some instructions from Zhen Jin, Xiao Suo put away his thoughts. He stayed at the camp gate for the next whole day and even ate three meals on the spot.
No matter what his true thoughts were, this attitude of accepting punishment already satisfied Zhen Jin.
On this day, the young knight still took Bai Ya and others to investigate the surrounding area.
He practiced hard for a long time last night, slept little, and didn't have enough time to rest. As a result, he walked through the mountains and forests that day and suffered from back pain all the time.
Therefore, Zhenjin collected the team earlier than yesterday and returned to the camp.
During dinner, Bai Ya came to Zhen Jin: "Sir, Zong Ge and the others haven't come back yet. But they sent back a seriously injured person at noon. I heard that they left in the morning alone.
A distance of more than 10,000 meters. In total, the cumulative results of their investigation today have completed one-tenth of the tasks they were responsible for."
Bai Ya added: "Since we don't go back to the camp at noon, we can also eat dried meat outside at night. This way we can squeeze out more time for reconnaissance."
Zhen Jin looked at Bai Ya's worried look and felt warm in his heart. He patted his shoulder: "Don't be anxious, Bai Ya. The investigation work must be meticulous, and the safety of one's own people must be ensured. Don't rush in. The forest is full of dangers."
If you are in danger, you must always be vigilant. If you are not careful, you will be ambushed by wild beasts. So you must have a good rest."
After dinner, Zhen Jin returned to the tent and tried his best to get some rest time for himself.
Late at night, he set off again and practiced hard secretly under the pretext of night patrol.
This lasted for three days.
The progress of Zong Ge and his group has far surpassed that of Zhen Jin and others.
Bai Ya became anxious: "Sir, we are about to lose! I heard that you have to patrol at night every day. No wonder you don't have enough energy during the day. Lord Zhenjin, please stop doing this. Xisuo's guard
The camp is very serious and having him is enough."
Zhen Jin shook his head: "When marching and fighting, you need to relax. White buds."
Bai Ya stared anxiously: "But sir, we have a good rest every day, and there is no way to vent our energy. We can go further and investigate more places."
Zhen Jin smiled: "You didn't understand what I meant. I mean, Zong Ge and his gang used too much force to investigate the surrounding areas, and their combat power dropped drastically. People were injured almost every day."
"If at this time, Blue Dog Foxwolf leads the Warcraft Legion to attack, what should we do?"
"So, we must retain part of our combat power. At the critical moment, if Zonge and his gang cannot exert their combat power, they will have to rely on us."
"So that's what you think, sir." Bai Ya was stunned, "Sir, you are so kind and considerate of the overall situation. Zong Ge, this abominable half-orc, must have taken advantage of my Lord's benevolent heart of considering the overall situation!
"
"Lord Cangxu reminded me that Zong Ge did this on purpose. He initiated this reconnaissance challenge on his own initiative. If he can defeat you, his influence will be greatly increased. He deliberately marched in a hurry every day to let
The team withstands the crisis but controls the damage. This is an obvious military style. It is by putting the people around them in danger that they will rely on the strong man Zong Ge from the bottom of their hearts. And every time Zong Ge
Taking action to resolve the crisis can make people around him deepen their gratitude or admiration for him. Sir, Zong Ge has been challenging your authority!"
Zhen Jin nodded: "As expected of an old scholar, with sharp eyes."
"My lord!" Bai Ya was so anxious that she stamped her feet, "Now, people's hearts have also changed."
"Our companions are starting to slack off. Some people think it's good for us to be lazy like this. Let Zong Ge and his group sacrifice more, and we can enjoy the gains."
"There are also some people who are very unhappy. If this trend continues, we will be defeated by orcs, goblins, etc. But we can obviously work harder, and this is not the result of our all-out efforts."
"There are also rumors about Zong Ge and his gang."
"They look down on us, thinking that we are afraid of danger, too cautious, and unmanly."
"There were even rumors among the wounded among them."
Speaking of this, Bai Ya looked very angry.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"Rumors say, my lord, you didn't actually kill any blue fox wolf. Maybe there were two blue fox wolves at the beginning, and you just picked up a handful of wolf hairs on the ground. When you returned to the camp, you saw Zong Ge killing them.
The crocodile-headed hammer-tailed anaconda was worried that his status would be affected by this victory, so he took out his wolf hair and lied."
"In real terms of combat prowess, my lord, you are not as good as Zong Ge. The investigation results in the past few days can tell what kind of person you are, lord."
Bai Ya finished speaking in one breath, feeling angry and a little uneasy.
Zhen Jin smiled casually: "This rumor is very interesting. It seems that Zong Ge has united the group of people around him very closely."
"Sir, aren't you angry at being misunderstood like this?" Bai Ya felt strange.
Zhen Jin smiled: "You also said that this is just a rumor, isn't it?"
"But my lord..."
Zhen Jin continued: "I am more concerned about the casualties of Zong Ge and his group. It is said that two of them have died?"
"Yes, one was attacked and killed by a venomous snake on the spot, and the other slipped and fell to the ground and died on the way back to the camp. In addition, there were more than a dozen injuries."
"The casualties are quite heavy." Zhen Jin sighed secretly, "It seems it's time to take out the complete map."
