Chapter 144: conspiracy
At the other end of the valley, Earl Tarahan was waiting with a large army. He couldn't help but smile when he heard the sound of killing.
"Sure enough, it's a young man, can't hold back!" he said to himself, "This way, my plan will be easier to achieve."
At this time, there is still some gap between the time when the two sides agreed to join forces to attack. It is said that everyone has been waiting silently, but those adventurers can't help but start first. On the one hand, it shows that they are jealous of evil and cannot rub a grain of sand into their eyes. On the other hand, it also shows that they are impetuous and impatient, and they do not have the patience that people who do great things should have.
This is of course excellent news for the Earl.
He didn't give the order immediately, but pretended to listen carefully, and then asked the adjutant beside him, "Is there a fight over there?"
"It should be," replied the adjutant, "but the scout hasn't come back to report."
"Then wait for the scouts to come back," said the Count calmly. "Marching and fighting is a matter of the highest order, and there is no room for rudeness. It is better to be slow than aggressive."
The adjutant nodded in agreement, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Of course he knew that the two sides joined forces to attack the devil. Since everyone joined forces, of course they should attack together. At this moment, the comrades-in-arms started in advance. Although it was a little rushed, it may also be an accident. It is said that as soon as they hear the sound of battle, they should send troops to cooperate immediately, how can they wait any longer?
But the doubts in his eyes were only fleeting, because he thought of the answer.
Demons are not a good thing, and a group of powerful adventurers is also not necessarily a beneficial existence.
For the lord, the stability of the territory is the most important. The core of territorial stability lies in military and popular opinion. A strong army and awe of the people can make the territory as stable as a mountain.
The group of "Tara Khan's Braves" are so powerful that they are even afraid of being able to resist the Tara Khan City Chamber. Their characters are extremely lively. They really have something to do and nothing to do. Time has already gained a great reputation near Tarakhan City. If things go on like this, they will definitely hinder the authority of the lord, and may even subvert the rule. It is not that large-scale adventure groups have seized the territory. Although historically those captured are usually viscounts or barons, but no one wants Count Tarahan to set a precedent for the counties to be captured by adventurers.
This adjutant was a direct descendant of the earldom, and he belonged to the type that no one would believe even if he surrendered. Therefore, no matter what, he cannot allow the counties to be usurped by adventurers.
For this reason, even if right and wrong are reversed, there is nothing to hesitate!
When he thinks about it, the count must also think so.
If Eric had agreed to the earl's marriage before, then everyone would become a family, but that's all, but Eric rejected the earl's marriage proposal.
Since we can't be a family, then I have to ask you to die!
Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes looking into the valley became much more fierce.
The count naturally felt the change in the aura of the adjutant, turned his head and looked at it, and suddenly understood in his heart, and couldn't help laughing secretly.
He, this old fox, can't possibly guess what the adjutant is thinking! Since this matter is being played right, he will not say anything to correct it - anyway, as long as the purpose is the same, the motive is not important at all.
The chief and deputy leaders of the army were all motionless, and the middle and lower-ranking officers naturally dared not act rashly. It wasn't until a few minutes later that the scouts reported that "there is a battle in the valley, and I saw the light of magic surging", and no one asked them whether to send troops now.
Before the earl could speak, the adjutant refuted the request first: "I only saw the brilliance of magic, but didn't I see the actual battle situation? Let the scouts come closer and see!"
The officer who asked for instructions was stunned and looked at the Count suspiciously, but saw that the Count's face was as calm as water, as if he had not heard anything.
He was secretly startled, hurriedly nodded and stepped back, giving this order to the scouts.
"Come closer?" The captain of the scout was taken aback. "A battle like that, if you get closer...it's very dangerous!"
"Of course I know the danger, but..." The officer hesitated and lowered his voice, "The Count, I'm afraid he doesn't want to send troops so quickly. Do you understand?"
The captain of the scout thought for a while, and showed an expression of sudden realization: "I understand! Let others do the hard work. We just need to come out and clean up the mess at the end."
"It's okay, you know what to do, right?"
"I see!"
The captain of the scout nodded again and again, and went out again with his crew.
This is a long time.
After at least half an hour, when the sound of fighting in the middle of the valley began to fade, he returned and reported, "In the valley, the adventurers fought with the summoned demons."
His statement is really very spring and autumn, but the count is exactly what the count wants. He stroked his beard, smiled with satisfaction, and gave the order to march.
Tara Khan, who had been waiting for a long time, led the army to move forward slowly.
This time, the Count mobilized more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and thousands of people acted together, which was naturally messy, so no one noticed that there was one more person in the team.
In the sky, Little Eggplant and Lao Liu tsk tsk admiration, and couldn't help but admire Erica's ability.
Her action was completely beyond the expectations of the traversers. She did not climb to the top of the mountain to spy, but directly mixed into the army led by Tarakhan.
This army is mainly composed of cavalry. Although they have all dismounted at this moment, the cavalry's full-body attire includes helmets with face shields. Wearing such helmets, no one can tell who is who, but can only rely on experience and voice. Erica was like a duck in water in this environment, and disappeared all of a sudden.
When the news reached the command center, Wu Mian couldn't help laughing awkwardly.
He had previously judged that Erica was going to climb to the top of the mountain to monitor, but he was mistaken.
The poisonous-tongued Horus immediately made fun of him: "It seems that our sleepless great counselor also makes mistakes sometimes. This is a wise man who must have made a mistake?"
Wu Mian shook his head: "I'm not a wise man. Losing to Erica is nothing to be ashamed of."
"That's true." Yuneruo said, "I was thinking, if she traveled into our world, she would definitely be a character like a bewitching girl, who would be fascinating at light, and bring disaster to the country and the people at worst. Losing to her in terms of ingenuity, Nothing out of the ordinary."
"We don't have to fight her wits anyway!" Long Biao said coldly, "No matter how smart she is, if she hits her head with a fist, wouldn't it still turn into experience points!"
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Okay, the actors are about to play, let's prepare the special effects." Sanyu drew his knife, "Notify Panda, after the special effects, it's time for them to play!"
