Chapter 512 Cuifeng City


    "no way."


    Jellal shook his head. He still had a headache looking at the map of Eli Hills in front of him.


    What Aqil said at the meeting just now is indeed true, but he only slightly exaggerated the current shortage of supplies in the military camp.


    As the minister in charge of the logistics of the Gordon Kingdom''s army, Aqil, he has the most say in this regard. The other generals have no way to verify whether what he says is true.


    Therefore, Jellal instructed Aqil to do this, but Aqil was a little worried that this would cause panic or even chaos in the entire army, so as not to cause chaos before the enemy took the bait.


    "You also know the current situation in the kingdom. Although there is still some remaining power, it can no longer provide us with greater help here."


    Jellal frowned slightly, his eyes remaining on the various documents in front of him.


    "To be honest, if possible, I would rather go to the battlefield and fight like before, but"


    Jellal shook his head slightly. As the commander of this army, he knew that his idea was really impossible.


    Unless you are a legendary powerhouse, even a gold-level professional can hardly affect the outcome of the war between kingdoms.


    Even if his strength is considered strong among gold-level professionals, it is far less effective than him sitting in the center to strengthen the soldiers'' beliefs.


    "Only now do I understand why my father asked me to stop my attack on the Carlo Kingdom."


    "I really can''t hold it any longer."


    Jellal shook his head bitterly. Most people in the kingdom believed that he was the biggest contributor to all previous victories, but at that time he didn''t have to think about other things at all and just focused on defeating the enemy.


    It wasn''t until he was arranged by the king to go to the Eli Hills that he truly realized that in addition to winning on the battlefield, there were more things that he needed to worry about in terms of winning wars and running the country.


    Thinking about his father''s earnest teachings before, but he never paid attention to them, Jellal now felt that it was not easy to rule a country.


    I don’t know how my father’s thin body has been able to carry all this for so many years.


    As the youngest child of King Gordon, Jellal is no longer a young man, but he has been obsessed with practicing with his teacher before, and did not really start to deal with these affairs until the war started.


    The king loves him dearly, and the elder brothers also know the abilities of this little brother, and they have never competed with him for anything, not even for the throne of King of Gordon Kingdom.


    This also made Jellal''s life smooth sailing before. It wasn''t until he faced the invasion of Archibald Kingdom and Paro Federation here in the Eli Hills that he really felt the difficulty.


    "Your Highness, you have done your best."


    Aqil looked at Jellal who looked tired and sighed.


    During the fierce battle in the Eli Hills for more than half a year, Aqil witnessed with his own eyes that Jellal had matured from a high-spirited commander, and his prestige in the hearts of everyone was getting higher and higher.


    Even this deliberate plan, although somewhat risky, was a last resort.


    His Highness the Prince has tried his best to find a solution to the predicament before him, and Aqil also believes that the situation of Archibald Kingdom and Paro Federation is not much better. The only thing is to see who can persevere better.


    "Do you think there will really be a traitor?"


    After a moment of silence, Jellal asked Aqil.


    "I don''t know, and I haven''t found any clues."


    Aqil shook his head and then said:


    "But this time, the Archibald Kingdom and the Paro Federation obviously got accurate information about the attack on our rear. Otherwise, our losses would not have been so heavy."


    "Alas~"


    Jellal sighed. Although he didn''t want to believe it, Aqil, who was the minister of the kingdom, was right.


    The possibility is quite high!


    In short, this level of information may have been leaked by someone here just now.


    It was precisely because of this that he acted in a play with Aqil just now.


    On the one hand, I want to try to catch the possibility of a "traitor". After all, there is such important news as the Gordon Kingdom is about to withdraw. If there is a traitor, the Kingdom of Archibald and the Paro Federation must be informed.


    On the other hand, by passing on such false information, he also wanted to try to see if he could lead the enemy into a trap that had been arranged in advance. He did not seek to directly win the war, but at least broke the current deadlock among the Gordon Kingdom''s troops. .


    "After you go back, tell Angus secretly and let him know about this plan."


    Jellal thought for a while and said to Aqil.


    "I understand, Your Highness."


    Aqil was not surprised and bowed slightly and said.


    If there is anyone in this army whom Prince Gerald trusts the most, it is Angus and Aqil.


    Although Aqil has always been at odds with Angus, he has never doubted his loyalty.


    As a close confidant of the old king, Angus has been leading the most elite army in the kingdom. Prince Gerald often asked Angus for advice.


    Before, I was just worried that this guy would reveal his secret, so I didn''t tell him. Now that the situation is like this, I will definitely not continue to hide it from him.


    After all, Prince Jellal needs to sit in the center and cannot go into battle himself. Most things still need to be done by the legion commander.


    "Let''s do this for now. You will have to do the rest of the preparations, Aqil."


    Jellal nodded slightly and continued to flip through the documents in front of him.


    When he saw the Lord of Cuifeng City sending him information about the traces of followers of the evil **** found in the city, his temples couldn''t help but bulge a few times.


    Really, why are these **** guys here again?


    Cuifeng City,


    At the intersection of winding hills and plains, when the first ray of sunshine in the morning penetrates the clouds and shines softly on the green wind city, the rows of city buildings seem to be awakened, shining with emerald colors.


    This is not an effect caused by any special magic, but comes from a special stone produced in Cuifeng City. This is the material that the residents of Cuifeng City like to use to build roofs. It is also the origin of the name of Cuifeng City.


    As a commercial city located on the edge of the Yi Lai Hills, Cuifeng City is naturally much larger than an ordinary city. However, because Cuifeng City is not a border city, no solid walls or castles have been built.


    Therefore, when facing the invasion of the Kingdom of Archibald and the Paro Federation, Prince Jellal did not choose to set up his base camp in Cuifeng City, but in the nearby Eli Hills.


    Even so, the battlefield where the two sides fought was not far from Cuifeng City. Cuifeng City, which was originally prosperous and lively with constant traffic of caravans, was now much lonely.


    But again, because the war is approaching, more mercenary teams with different costumes appear here.


    In order to win the war, Prince Jellal not only recruited extraordinary professionals to join the army of the Kingdom of Gordon here, but also arranged for people to issue many war commissions and tasks to the mercenary guild in the name of the Kingdom of Gordon, and the rewards were extremely high. rich.


    Naturally, the mercenaries who were attracted came to Cuifeng City.


    "Is this Cuifeng City?" Hei Ma stood at the gate of the city and kept making gestures towards this magnificent city.


    He was taking pictures with the camera built into the game "Divine Inspiration".


    New map opens +1!


    Blair on the side was not surprised. He was already used to some of the weird behaviors of Hei Mo.


    During the process of walking through the Eli Hills to Cuifeng City, many of the behaviors of this black brother were quite strange, and he was used to it.


    For example, he was sleeping so hard that he couldn''t wake up no matter how he screamed, and even beating him was useless, and finally he suddenly woke up without knowing why;


    For example, when you see a monster, you rush forward excitedly, not caring whether you will get hurt;


    Moreover, in the face of Blair''s inquiries, Hei Ni has always behaved in a matter-of-fact manner, which sometimes makes Blair wonder if something is wrong with him.


    After being inspected extremely carefully by the city guards and being extorted a gold coin in the name of city gate tax, Blair and Hei Mo successfully entered the city.


    At the beginning, I learned that I had to pay a gold coin in order to receive a small wooden sign that represented my identity in the city. It was only valid for seven days. Hei Ma was quite resistant.


    Although he had just made a huge profit from Blair, for a black man who is very careful about budgeting, such a waste is extremely shameful.


    But after seeing those red-named guards with silver-level strength beating up a traveling businessman in front of him, and taking the man away and imprisoning him like a dead dog, he still got scared. .


    He is not afraid of death, but his death and rebirth point is the same as that of Benbo Erba and others in the Paro Federation. If he died here, he would have wasted so much time on the road.


    After entering the city, Blair said to Hei Ma:


    "Then I''ll separate here. Thanks to your help along the way."


    "It''s okay, it''s okay."


    "You can come to me again if you need anything!"


    Hei Mo nodded nonchalantly. The previous task had been completed, and the reward Blair had been given to him.


    In his eyes, Blair has no value anymore. He said this just to be polite. What if he can still receive tasks from Blair in the future?


    After the two separated, Blair walked towards the Cuifeng City Market.


    He had been to Cuifeng City during his previous travels, so he naturally knew the location of the market.


    He brought a lot of things, which are in short supply for the Gordon Kingdom now, so there is no need to worry about selling them.


    However, because of the special nature of the storage ring, he planned to first inquire about the price, find a place to settle down, and then slowly sell it in batches.


    This way you can get the most benefit without arousing suspicion from others.


    The most dangerous time has passed, and Blair naturally has this little time.


    “I hope I’ll be lucky later!”


    Blair shook his head and walked towards the east side of the city.


    On the other hand, I think about so many things.


    First, he spent half a day walking around Cuifeng City, and then followed the guide on the player forum to unlock some special achievements in Cuifeng City, and then walked in the direction of the Mercenary Guild.


    Hei Ma is a member of the scenery party among players. No matter where he goes, he must check in before doing anything else.


    "How powerful is the production company of this "Shenqi" game? I''ve visited so many cities and I haven''t seen a similar place."


    "Is it possible that they have to make a separate set of three-dimensional models for each city? That would be too much work, right?"


    Hei Ma said with emotion in his heart, this is also the reason why he likes the game "Shenqi".


    He had never experienced such an exaggerated game world before, it was like traveling in a different world.


    Not long after, Heimei followed the map and arrived at the Mercenary Guild in Cuifeng City. He opened the door and walked in.


    Unlike the deserted streets outside, the mercenary guild was bustling with activity.


    The hall of the Mercenary Guild was buzzing with people. Countless figures were swaying under the dim lights. The air was filled with a strong smell of murder and blood. This was a unique sign that war was approaching.


    What comes into view are rows of rough wooden tables. The simple wooden wine glasses on the table are filled with light yellow ale. Pure white foam flows along the walls of the glasses on the table. The wooden plates contain sliced ??dark red ham and Dark yellow cheese is simple but the best wine pairing for mercenaries.


    The mercenaries sat around and drank heavily of ale. The wine flowed down the corners of their mouths and wetted the damaged leather armor on their chests that had not yet been repaired. Their voices were rough and powerful, and they talked loudly about their application performance in completing the entrusted tasks, accompanied by The exaggeration of gestures constantly emphasizes the thrill of the battle experienced.


    In the corner of the hall, the firelight illuminated the mercenary''s face, bragging about his bravery with a proud smile.


    One of them stood up suddenly, slapped the armor on his chest, and made a "bang bang" sound. His voice was passionate and high-pitched:


    "The commission we received this time, I killed ten of Archibald''s soldiers. It was such a thrilling battle!"


    When the people around heard this, someone smiled and said:


    "Adair, your team has brought back ten left ears in total. I''m afraid you don''t take all the credit on yourself."


    Facing other people''s doubts, Adair''s already drunken face turned even redder, and he kept explaining something.


    "What''s in our team is mine."


    "My contribution is the greatest!"


    "What do you guys know?"


    The surrounding mercenaries laughed and booed, and the atmosphere was extremely happy for a while.


    In the midst of the hustle and bustle, there were some mercenaries sitting quietly aside. Their eyes were deep and determined, and their bodies exuded the real smell of blood. They lowered their heads and kept talking.


    Hei didn''t pay attention to the mercenaries who were obviously drunk. He glanced around and saw a group of people wearing "unique" clothes gathered on the side of the tavern, so he quickly moved over.


    "Hey, bro!"


    Is it black? I patted the person with a mohawk in front of me and said with a smile:


    "I just arrived. Are there any interesting tasks in Cuifeng City recently?"


    Mohawk turned his head and looked at Hei Hei, who was dressed in black and had a dark face, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.


    "Hehe, I''ll tell you the truth, good brother, of course I have one!"


    Mo Xigan waved his hand, and a mission reminder appeared in front of Hei Ma.


    —
