And here is the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. Although it is not as good as the Shengming Empire, it is far more than the Snake and Rat Island and the Double Eye Island.
Almost all large towns in the kingdom have gold-level garrison, and major trading ports like Snowbird Port have more than one gold-level person at the top of the hierarchy.
Cold Wind Valley is considered a wilderness, but those who can move in the wilderness will naturally not be weak.
Bronze level is just the lowest level of extraordinary.
A Bronze-level person like Xuma can have a small status on Snake Island and play some role on Eye-Eye Island, but in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, he can't get away with it.
This situation is the same when it comes to San Dao.
The Three Swordsmen are at the Black Iron level, and this level still held a very important position in Snake Island.
But with the addition of Chi Lai and Kuan Shi, the importance of the three swords has been greatly reduced.
Now in Snowbird Port, at his level, there is no way he can become the leader of the mercenary group on the surface. He can only hide behind the scenes and give up the position of chief and deputy leader to Meng Shi and Chi Lai.
But for a dragon boy, a silver level like Zong Ge is quite suitable.
If they go one step further and become gold-level, it will be very detrimental to their next actions.
Gold level, in the whole world, is the backbone of the extraordinary. In this extraordinary world where one person can defeat an army, gold level is far more valued than silver level.
If you walk in other places with gold-level strength, you will attract the attention of many outsiders, and you will be wary, fearful, and wary, and you will also receive the treatment of key surveillance.
In order to eradicate the Bayonet Gang, the city lord of Snowbird Harbor cooperated with the dragon boy. There is an important reason, that is, the dragon boy is not a gold-level person. If they were of the same level, the city lord of Snowbird Port would not be so reassured.
of.
Zong Ge did not blame Xuma for not detecting the ambush, which was normal.
The reason why the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group came to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom and entered the royal capital was always in their plans, so a lot of preparations were naturally made.
On the surface, Suma, a bronze-level person, is responsible for investigation.
In fact, the real main force of investigation is the investigation alchemy puppet.
After Buquan, Zhongyong and other silver-level members joined the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, they also made several reconnaissance puppets while refining medicine.
This kind of puppet is much better than the one Zidi made through alchemy before.
Zidi's alchemy skills are far worse than theirs.
Another point is that Buquan gave all four of his alchemy workshops to the dragon boy, so the alchemy tools are much more advanced than the original Zidi.
The drawings of these alchemy puppets are all sourced from war dealers and are guaranteed to be of high quality.
The only silver-level alchemy puppet that Zidi created was also covered with a layer of deception and camouflage and anti-reconnaissance prophecy.
After Zong Ge, Zidi and the others left Snowbird Port, Zidi sent out all the reconnaissance puppets under her control to investigate the surroundings. When they paused for rest along the way, they were recovered, replenished with mana crystals, and then released.
The model name of the silver-level detection puppet is called Hermit Breaker. It has a longer battery life and its detection ability is much higher than other detection puppets. This time, it was it that discovered the ambush person.
Zidi told Zongge in more detail: "There are two people in ambush, one is silver-level and the other is gold-level."
"Those at the gold level are fighters, and those at the silver level are mages."
Zong Ge looked grim and fell into deep thought.
Although there were only two people in the ambush, their levels were a bit too high.
The gold level can already serve as the lord of a city, but now he is hiding here and carrying out Xiaoxiao's actions. What is his intention?
And the silver level... might be more troublesome than the gold level. The mage's methods are too rich!
"Although there are trade routes in the Cold Wind Valley, they are not the main roads. The valley is not big, it is not easy to hide, and there are no bandits stationed there. What are these two people doing in ambush here?" Zidi expressed her opinion.
"They probably aren't here to target us."
"To be on the safe side, we can take a detour."
Zong Ge didn't answer. He stared at the valley exit in front of him for a while, then slowly shook his head.
"The exit is very close. If we want to take a detour, we have to go back. First we leave the Cold Wind Valley, and then we make a big circle around the valley. This wastes too much time."
"Besides, how can you be sure that they are not ambushing us here to target us?"
Zidi frowned slightly: "The Bayonet Gang has been destroyed. The Lord of Snowbird Port is our ally, and we have also reached a cooperation with the Utopia family. Thanks to the leader, the name of our Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has spread throughout the kingdom. Even if
If someone wants to make things difficult for us, I'm afraid they are also targeting 'you' as the group leader."
"After all, captain, you can defeat the gold level with the silver level. For the sake of fame and fortune, you are likely to encounter many challengers."
"The ambush here is obviously not a competition. The challenge is as simple as it is more malicious. We are new here and there are no such enemies."
The survivors know that they are outsiders and have been working hard to atone for their sins. Especially Zidi, who has experienced the tragedy of the destruction of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, so she has always paid attention to the mercenary group's external relations. With her efforts, Longshi
The mercenary group's external relations are not tense.
After reaching cooperation with the Satoma family, external relations have been considered good.
Zong Ge glanced at Zidi and then turned his attention to the exit of the valley.
Zong Ge said calmly, "My thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours, Master Yaoma."
"Your analysis is good. But it doesn't mean that the two people in ambush are not our enemies. There is no evidence to prove this."
"Many times, we make enemies inadvertently. The reasons why many enemies make things difficult for us are even ridiculous. You may not be able to see the enemies in the dark."
"I can't imagine when we have offended a strange gold-level fighter or a strange silver-level mage."
"But it is indeed possible that these two people are just trying to ambush us!"
"Our route is confidential, but it is easy to detect our movements. There are only two of them, and they are both extraordinary beings. They are not a large force, so it is very easy to move. It is not difficult at all to ambush us in advance."
"Going back the same way and going around the valley is pure escape. If these two people are targeting us, even if we take a detour, they will come again. This time we were lucky enough to find them. What about next time? They will be more serious.
If we are cautious and hide deeper, our disadvantage will be greater."
"If they are not trying to deal with us, wouldn't we waste time by taking a detour?"
"So, what we should do more is verify."
Zidi: "How do you want to verify?"
"Use deception and camouflage and anti-reconnaissance prophecy to amplify those alchemy puppets, dress up like our team, and walk out of the valley." Zong Ge said.
Zidi immediately shook her head: "This is impossible."
She continued to transmit the message: "We only carry 63 pearl foams. To bless so many alchemy puppets, it consumes too much."
"We don't know when the leader will come back, and we don't know how long this trip to the royal capital will take."
"We must save as much as possible and keep more pearls in case of unexpected events."
Zong Ge frowned: "Military supplies are for use. If you don't arm yourself as much as possible, in a big battle, everyone will die, and military supplies will become the enemy's trophies!"
"How many can be used to strengthen those alchemy puppets? At most 3."
Zidi just shook her head with a firm attitude.
Once Zi Di refuses, it will be really difficult for Zong Ge to handle it.
Because he is not a mage.
There are only two mages among the survivors. After Cang Xu leaves the team, only Zidi can control the deception and camouflage array and provide blessings.
Faced with this reality, Zong Ge could only give in, and his tone became a bit colder: "If you are reluctant, then support me."
"Let me make a surprise attack and strike first!"
At this moment, Zong Ge showed his demeanor as a strong general.
As an excellent general, if you find an ambush ahead while leading your army, what will you do if you don't know the other party's intentions?
Nothing to think about.
Directly lead the army to war and eradicate all hidden dangers!
Zong Ge would never take a chance and bet on whether the ambush was unintentional or malicious. An ambush in front of the road, even if it was unintentional, was still a threat.
Eliminate the threat directly!
Zidi was startled and stared at Zong Ge in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"
In her opinion, it was completely unnecessary.
By taking a detour, you can avoid this risk. Even if you delay time, you can still pay the high transmission fee to save time and make up for this period.
Why take risks when you can solve things with money?
If you have no money, you can make more money, but if you have no life, what is the use of having more money?
Now Zong Ge not only doesn't want to avoid risks, but actually wants to take the initiative to stir up trouble? This is simply outrageous!
Zong Ge shook his head, extremely disappointed with Zidi: "Miss Businessman, don't be afraid of difficulties and challenges."
"If they just want to ambush us, they must be our enemies. Now they don't know that they have been exposed. I can use the deception and camouflage technique to make a surprise attack, which can create a great advantage and catch them off guard."
"If they are not our enemies, after my surprise attack, they will not fight to the death with us, and will most likely retreat on their own initiative. Because they did not wait for their target, and now they have been exposed."
Zidi interrupted him: "You also said it, but it's just a high probability. So it may be that they got angry and fought with you with all their strength. After all, you ruined their good deeds. And you are only a silver level, not the leader.
,How to fight them?"
"I don't understand, if we do this, what benefits will we gain? We are more likely to make enemies out of nothing!"
Zong Ge sneered: "The advantage is obvious! That is, no one dares to set up an ambush in front of us. Even if we want to set up an ambush, we will be more cautious."
"Is this the benefit?!" Zidi glared at Zong Ge, "Once the war starts, we two may be able to escape, but the others? They will all die!"
Zong Ge snorted coldly: "Miss Zidi, do you think our trip to the royal capital will go smoothly?"
"The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has become famous in the kingdom. I wonder how many people will be waiting to fight me in a heroic duel."
"Only by showing strength can you make people fear you and solve a lot of troubles in advance."
"As a general, you should focus on the future!"
Zidi said impatiently: "I only know that you are asking for trouble now, and it is still a big trouble!"
"What you said makes sense. We have to show our strength and clear some obstacles in advance."
"But facing a gold-level fighter and a silver-level mage teaming up, do we have the strength?"
"We can fight." Zong Ge muttered, "Even if we are not strong enough, we must be tough enough. In this strange country, we are just outsiders, but our reputation is far-reaching."
"Only by showing enough toughness can others realize that even if they take us down, they will have to pay a heavy price. They will be cautious and considerate, and we will have fewer enemies."
Zidi sneered: "Your toughness will probably cause heavy casualties to our people. If the leader were here, he would never sacrifice his subordinates as pawns so wantonly."
Zong Ge frowned: "So, I think our captain is very kind to a woman. Many times, sacrifice is inevitable. We even have to take the initiative to sacrifice in exchange for a better war situation."
"If you really feel sorry for those pearls, then just let the detective puppets disguise themselves as the two of us and lead these people out of the valley."
"If it leads to an ambush, it will be confirmed that they are enemies and it will not be too late to fight again. If not, we can continue on our way to avoid disputes."
Hearing Zongge denying her sweetheart, Zidi suddenly became resistant.
Then, Zidi heard that Zong Ge "mercilessly" used other mercenaries as bait, and her heart felt even colder.
She became angry: "Sandao is not here, and the two teams you trained so hard are also left in Snowbird Port, so you can sacrifice others at will?"
Zong Ge took a deep breath, but was also furious.
He doesn't like verbal negotiation and is not good at this kind of communication.
He suppressed his anger and tried to communicate one last time: "You misunderstood me. Even if San Dao is here, I will make such an arrangement. Those two teams are not inexhaustible. Even me! As long as the sacrifice is
It’s valuable…”
"That's enough!" Zi Di lowered her voice and yelled angrily, "I absolutely agree with your plan. This is simply stupid. Let's turn around and go back now!"
Zonge closed his eyes, then opened them.
He glanced down at Zidi and immediately shouted an order: "Stay where you are, everyone is on alert!"
Then, he turned around and left.
Zidi was stunned for a moment, and then spoke out to stop him.
But Zonge didn't want to talk nonsense with her at all, and ran directly to the last section of the valley.
Xuma and others were at a loss: "Why did the group leader get into an argument with Master Yaoma? The group leader was so angry that he left?!"
But the next moment, the ambusher took action boldly.
They attacked Zong Ge with murderous intent.
The magical light filled the sky, covering the exit of the valley.
In the dazzling light, the human figure wrapped in golden fighting spirit rushed straight towards Zong Ge.
Zidi's heart sank to the bottom of her heart in an instant.
Obviously, these two people are targeting the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group!
