Oscar surveyed the nearby terrain and finally chose a place more than 20 miles away from Baisong Town. He dispatched hundreds of mercenaries and asked them to prepare first, prepare heavy crossbows and explosives to ensure that everything was safe.
Qin Yue was busy all day and shouted when she returned home. "Little Alice, we are back!"
A ping-pong sound came from the study. Alice stumbled out with her round and white feet bare. She immediately helped Oscar take off his cloak. "Master, you are busy all day. Are you tired? I will roast a big roast duck by myself and let you taste it."
"Little Alice's cooking skills are of course beyond reproach!" Qin Yue chuckled, "But I have to take a bath first."
Qin Yue shook her slender waist and plump hips and walked into the bathroom step by step. From inside, there was a figure taking off clothes, and a few minutes later, there was a sound of water.
Oscar touched his nose and smiled bitterly. Qin Yue really treated Oscar's house as her own home. Even when taking a bath, she would take care of men's feelings.
As long as a normal man hears the sound of water and thinks of Qin Yue's enchanting and hot figure, he will probably have wild thoughts and be distracted.
Qin Yue came out in a long robe, with wet red hair casually scattered around her waist. She didn't wear glasses, and her eyes were full of water waves. She was less intellectual and more charming. Her enchanting face was rosy, and there was a touch of snow-white chasm looming on the magnificent arc supported by her chest.
Alice was a little dazed and praised sincerely: "Sister Qin is so beautiful. She is the most beautiful person Alice has ever seen."
"Little Alice is too modest. You are not bad at all."
Alice was dejected and said a little frustrated: "I am far behind my sister."
Qin Yue is a rare beauty. In comparison, Alice is a little different. In addition, Alice's body is not open, and it is a little immature, so it is far less lethal to men than Qin Yue.
Alice's current appearance is just an appearance.
When the blood power is fully awakened, it will be a completely different scene.
There have been one or two records of [Death Body] in history. Such people are often mediocre, even ugly in appearance, and dull in wisdom.
When the blood awakens, it immediately turns into a butterfly, with new energy and talents, which no one can match.
Alice has not yet awakened, but she is already very beautiful, talented, and has so much power that it overflows from her body.
Her future is unimaginable.
At most two or three years, when Alice is around 18 years old, the evil power in her blood will be completely awakened. Whenever Oscar thinks of this, he has a little worry.
The preparation time is too short.
Oscar didn't know if there was a way to suppress Alice. When the blood power was fully activated, Alice's temperament would be impacted by the huge force, and she would inevitably become cold-blooded, even ruthless and bloodthirsty.
"Let's eat!"
Alice brought out the roasted goose, which was golden and shiny, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The tempting aroma made people's appetites grow. With four or five exquisite side dishes and the best rum bought specially, it would be a good dinner.
Alice volunteered to do it herself. It took a lot of effort to separate the roast goose and select the fattest goose leg to put in Oscar's bowl, "Master, please eat!"
"It's cut so well!"
"It tastes even better!"
Alice laughed triumphantly, and the sound was as pleasant as a silver bell.
Oscar's sense of loss flashed across his heart. Alice's cute and innocent smile has become an indispensable part of his life.
Oscar lived a lifetime, and always felt that his mentality had changed. He was a crazier magic fanatic than Qin Yue, but now he has let it go. No matter how powerful the magic is, what's the use?
In comparison, Oscar hopes to see Alice happy.
If one day, this cute and innocent face disappears and is replaced by a terrifying demon, what should I do?
Qin Yue found that Oscar's eyes were particularly soft and warm when he looked at Alice. She felt a little uncomfortable, and was filled with a faint sadness and a little sour.
She envied the girl very much and said to herself: "Little Alice is so lucky to have such a good man to love and protect her..."
Alice didn't notice the change in their mood. She was very satisfied with her current life, but she thought of her special physique. It was a luxury to get married and have children forever, so she couldn't help but feel very sad.
If... the young master can get together with sister Qin Yue.
This may be a good thing for Alice!
Qin Yue has a good personality. If she becomes a young lady, she will definitely take care of Alice and will not exclude Alice.
In this way, Alice will not have to worry about losing the young master!
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
The more Alice looks at Qin Yue, the more she looks like a young lady. She is very envious and a little worried.
Three people.
Each has his own worries.
Each has his own thoughts.
But none of them showed it, because the atmosphere of the dinner was very good. When it was about to end, a mercenary came to the door and delivered a wax-sealed letter.
"There is a letter from the headquarters."
"It's for you!"
The headquarters of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is located in Snow City, with six branches, one of which is in White City. Because the Meditation Incense is selling well, the mercenary group has received a large sum of money. Oscar has attracted the attention of the top management. The headquarters hopes that Oscar will go directly to Snow City to serve.
In response to this.
Oscar politely refused.
Baisong Town is too small, Oscar will leave sooner or later, but he does not want to serve in the Snow Wolf Mercenary. He signed a one-year mercenary contract purely for the sake of the one-eyed man. Oscar didn't want to be bound by any force. When the one-year term was up, he would leave the Snow Wolf Mercenaries.
Oscar asked by the way: "Has anything special happened recently?"
The mercenary replied: "The orcs are getting more and more rampant. Several villages and caravans were attacked. Today, a village was bloodbathed. Dozens of survivors disappeared in the process of being sent back."
It was very strange that only the wolf cavalry was fighting guerrilla warfare and the main force of the orcs was not seen for a long time. The vanguard was stagnant, neither advancing nor retreating, and the main force was not coming out. This may be related to the failure of the city capture plan, which made the orcs hesitant about the plan of invading the south.
This conjecture is not groundless.
The Frost Plateau is not a monolithic entity. The orc tribes are hostile to each other. The Song of Hell may not dare to take the risk of invading the south. If too much power is consumed and no corresponding results are achieved, then other tribes that are eyeing it may take advantage of the opportunity.
"The wolf cavalry has an intriguing style!"
"Why?"
"Didn't you notice? The main force of the orcs has not arrived yet, and the wolf cavalry has become more and more impetuous recently, so they attack village caravans everywhere. Obviously, they want to achieve results. They will definitely not stop their actions."
"What should we do?"
Oscar shrugged and said, "I can't even catch a shadow of the wolf cavalry. What can I do? Besides, fighting against the orcs is the military's business. We can't intervene too much. We just need to pay more attention to the surroundings."
"Yes!" The mercenary remembered something and took out a stack of information from his arms and presented it. "According to your request, the intelligence personnel got the relevant information about the mayor, all here."
Oscar had no hostility towards Wei Nan. He just wanted to check his background and understand this person, not to deal with him.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The mercenary was rewarded with a few silver coins and left happily.
Oscar opened the information.
Wei Nan was born in 960 of the new calendar. His family was very poor. His parents were long-term workers who did manual labor. Wei Nan was interested in magic since he was a child. He almost spent all his family's money to pay for his tuition and entered the White City Warlock Academy.
Unfortunately, he did not get any reward. Wei Nan remained an apprentice until he was over 30 years old after graduation. His family was poor, his father died of illness, and his mother died of worry and fatigue.
Wei Nan obviously lacked talent and had no material foundation. Perhaps choosing the path of magic was a mistake.
He had no money to buy resources and books. He was an apprentice for more than ten years and could only help the formal warlocks, hoping to learn some knowledge from his employer.
At about the age of 35, Wei Nan's life reached a turning point.
This year, Wei Nan got rid of his apprentice status and became a magician. In 4 years, he made rapid progress and became a master of magician level. At the same time, he joined the army and became a military warlock. He made considerable military achievements and was awarded the status of Black Iron Noble at the age of 41.
From a commoner to a noble.
Wei Nan turned over a new leaf and was proud of himself.
Judging from Wei Nan's growth experience, this person is very patient and can work hard for ten years just to learn a little knowledge. This person has a very tough character and has also gained some kind of adventure, so he has achieved what he has today.
Oscar did not delve into this.
…………
The next day.
The Snow Wolf Mercenaries held a press conference and Qin Yue announced the action plan. The mercenaries planned to wipe out the iron-armed apes that obstructed business and occupied the northwest.
This announcement attracted the support of the townspeople. This group of iron-armed apes has been entrenched for more than ten years. Every time a caravan or adventurer passes through the area, they always have to take a detour, which is very troublesome.
This powerful monster is ultimately a disaster, especially the iron-armed ape, a guy who is good at climbing and jumping.
The 7-meter-high wall of Baisong Town is useless to them. If the iron-armed ape goes crazy, the town will suffer heavy losses.
Some people also expressed doubts.
The power of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries in Baisong Town is limited. Even if they can really eliminate the Iron Arm Ape in the forest, they will pay a heavy price for it, which is completely not worth the loss.
If this action is not hype for some purpose, then the planner's brain has been stepped on by a donkey!
Qin Yue announced another important recruitment information.
30-80 silver per day, high price recruitment of warlocks, unlimited number. A warlock with a ring of 10, if he does not have special talents, will only have a monthly income of about 30 or 40 silver. Now he is paid a month's salary in one day, and many warlocks immediately come to sign up.
Oscar also succeeded in negotiating with the city defense army and rented 4 heavy crossbows for a large sum of money!
The heavy crossbow has an effective range of more than 1,000 meters. It uses black iron ridge armor-piercing arrows, which are powerful enough to break gold and stone. Even if the Iron Arm Demon Ape has copper skin and iron bones, it will be severely injured instantly by the impact of a 3-meter-long all-metal heavy crossbow arrow. There is no doubt about this.
"There are 500 mercenaries participating in the operation." A mercenary reported to Oscar: "There are 250 muskets in the regiment, and we rented 250 more from the armory, so that everyone can prepare a musket."
Oscar nodded and said: "It is very troublesome to load the musket, remember to bring more bows and arrows for backup."
"Yes!"
Everything is ready.
Oscar went to the scene in person.
A rocky mountain with a long and slanting slope of about 200 meters, with a wide field of vision and not easy to be attacked.
There are a lot of boulders on the top of the mountain. When the warlock arranged the magic circle overnight, the mercenaries took local materials, moved some rolling stones, stacked them on the hillside, and assembled 4 heavy crossbow carts and covered them with bunkers.
Oscar left another spell to cover the breath on the top of the mountain.
Under the hillside, the snow is thick, and the magic circle is engraved on the stone slab and buried in the snow, which is basically not discovered by people. Once the iron-armed apes are attracted, they will be trapped in the illusion array below and will not know which direction is east, south, west, or north.
The mercenaries use heavy crossbows to shoot from the hillside, and then use muskets and crossbows to assist. Even if the fish caught in the net rush up the hillside, the mercenaries can push the rolling stones to resist and wipe out all the iron-armed apes.
These mercenaries are generally equipped with long-range weapons.
If the iron-armed apes are really lured here, even without the illusion array and heavy crossbows, 500 mercenaries can eliminate more than a dozen iron-armed apes with their ambush and weapon advantages, but there will be greater losses.
With the assistance of heavy crossbows and magic arrays, it is basically guaranteed to be foolproof.
When Oscar was making careful arrangements, a mercenary ran over and shouted, "Brother Oscar, someone from the group is here!"
