"We have been walking for about forty minutes. It stands to reason that we have already left the territory of the previous snow monsters." Herman looked around vigilantly and said, "In other words, we should have encountered a new snow monster."
"However, it was always very peaceful along the way." Andrea thought, "Could it be that they found they couldn't beat them and ran away in advance?"
"Where can you escape to?" Herman retorted, "The snow monster cannot adapt to temperatures above 20 degrees. Only the mutated Taygets Mountains in the entire Peloponnese can maintain the cold climate of heavy snow.
.”
"I'm more inclined to think that they are hiding somewhere and planning to ambush us."
"That's it, let your subordinates be on guard." Andrea paused, then suddenly thought of something, and quickly added:
"No! Let everyone be more vigilant, but still pretend not to notice anything on the surface."
Herman:………………
This guy started to have his own whims again... He imagined that the snow monster would suddenly attack and kill the Cang Qing Sword, and then he could take the opportunity to bargain with the Cang Qing Sword people at the cost of rescue...
Hermann knew what Andrea was thinking without asking.
"Don't be stupid, do you really think they didn't notice?" Herman asked.
"What, they found signs that something was wrong?" Andrea lowered her voice and looked behind her involuntarily.
"Of course." Herman said, "Look at their positions."
"The blond lady holding the shield is walking in the center and can provide support in any direction at any time."
"All non-melee professions are distributed around the shield lady, and each one is protected by at least one melee character."
"The red-haired psychic is walking on the outside of the mountain road, with leader Aske beside him; the masked mage girl who used gravity before is walking on the inside of the mountain road, with the black-haired girl with a sword guarding her back."
"The young girl with flaxen hair was at the back of the team, and the Norman holding a double ax walked side by side with her, obviously to protect her in an emergency."
"The last one is the girl with a very small stature, who is about ten steps behind the team and keeps looking around. I guess this girl should play a reconnaissance or scout role in the Cangqing Sword."
"Indeed." When Herman said this, Andrea also realized that the opponent's seemingly scattered position actually had a careful logical connection inside, like a spider web.
"The main force is deployed on the wings and rear because our Iron Cross Mercenary Group is in the front, which can form a strategic buffer." Herman concluded, "In other words, in their tactical system, they have actually included us.
We are in. Therefore, no matter what adjustments we make, there is a high probability that they will discover it."
"In this case, any cover-up is an act of self-deception. It is better to deploy troops directly and generously."
"Well, that's true." Andrea had to admit that what Herman said was correct. Now that he has been noticed by the other party, he still wants to try to do something small. In addition to showing that the Iron Cross Mercenary Group is not aboveboard, there is no other way.
any effect.
"Let everyone be alert!" Andrea ordered loudly.
The mercenaries immediately reduced their size and shortened the distance between them so that they could provide timely support in case of emergency.
"Did you just notice it now?" Medea looked at the movement in front of her and said with disdain.
"You seem to have a problem with them." Ask noticed the hostility in her attitude.
"Of course, aren't they the first ones who started to be hostile to us?" Medea said, and suddenly said, "Asker, do you know them?"
"Oh, you have read my thoughts again." Ask said, "Yes, I know both of these two people from the Iron Cross Mercenary Group."
"Tell me about it." Medea was a little curious.
"You can read minds, see for yourself." Asik waved his hand.
"I want to hear you say it," Medea insisted.
"Andrea, whose fiefdom is near Fredenbeck in the Shinra Empire, was originally a small lord." Ask explained, "This guy likes to wander by nature, so he left the fiefdom to his family to manage, and then he came out to join Steel
Become mercenaries in the Cross Mercenary Group."
"This guy has an upright temper and a clear distinction between love and hate. If he hates someone, it's because he doesn't like him or her. He's also willing to go to any lengths for his brothers, and he's willing to risk everything. He probably has such a straightforward character."
"The blond mercenary next to him is Hermann, the eldest son of Bernard, Count of Saxony in the north of the empire." Asker introduced, "According to legal principles, he should have inherited his father's duchy or title."
"But I'm not sure what happened in Saxony. In short, this guy was deprived of his right to inherit. The Earl of Saxony chose his younger brother Albert as his heir, so he could only work as a mercenary."
"Hmm..." Medea fell into a thoughtful look, and Asik knew very well that expression, which was the expression that this guy was planning another conspiracy.
"No matter what your plan is, wait until we get the ax first, you know?" Asker reminded her, "Don't make matters worse."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't take measures?" Medea did not deny that she had "plans", but just rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
Ask sighed. If we use the DND camp to describe it, Medea undoubtedly belongs to the typical "lawful evil" type. Rather than seeking benefits, it is better to say that she instinctively weaves conspiracies out of hobbies.
, calculating others.
However, having such a person in the team may not be a purely bad thing - at least her mind-reading and mind-stealing control abilities are an indispensable part of Asker's tactical system.
She has to find a chance to correct her awkward personality. Oh, and her troublesome split personality...
Asker suddenly felt that there were a lot of unsettling factors in this guy.
While Ask was thinking this way, Medea also silently understood his thoughts.
"Did you see that?" Medusa in the depths of her mental body mocked, "The reason why he can tolerate your existence is because you are still valuable to him."
"Once one day you can no longer play a role, he will abandon you mercilessly, just like throwing away a piece of garbage."
"Isn't this natural?" Medea retorted, "The reason why I stay in this team is also because the team can bring me benefits."
"If you are really just interested in the relationship, why do you do those things?" Medusa sneered, "Help him consolidate the team? Open a harem? Are you kidding? Who can be deceived by that kind of excuse? You are just
It’s just an attempt to create conflicts in the team and further intensify them.”
"What good will it do me if the team falls apart?" Medea asked her.
"When the team falls apart, the women around him will leave him. What good do you think it will do to you?" Medusa exposed her mercilessly, "If he knows your purpose, what do you think he will think of you?
"
"Shut up." Medea became angry.
"Okay, I'll shut up." Medusa said coldly, "But you know very well that shutting up won't solve the problem."
The voice in her heart fell silent. Medea stared down at the snow with an expressionless face, her face uncertain.
