Heart of Empire Chapter 99: Stay safe
Previously, the content of the negotiations between Farao, Lancelot and Patience was really good. All in all, it was Patience who was using her 'traditional' theories to persuade the old druid and the sword dancer instructor to surrender.
Lancelot was once one of the supporters of the elf tradition, and he is now. In fact, he was still able to accept Patience's theory.
However, he is still firmly on the side against Patience, the reason is very simple - Lancelot is a traditional elf, but his loyalty to Dane is far higher than that of tradition faith.
As for Fal'ol, he is old and refined. He has lived in the elven society of another world for hundreds of years. He has not seen any ups and downs? Although Patience is powerful and has a lifespan of more than two hundred years, she is still just a little girl in front of him. If he wanted to break up the traditions that Patience said, he could say it better than Patience.
The old guy, who was as slippery as a loach, said a few words, which did not irritate Patience, but clearly showed his position, at least temporarily stabilized the situation.
The two have now decided to continue the current stalemate. As long as Patience doesn't keep pressing, they don't plan to do anything more. No one knows how long such a balance can be maintained, but this is the maximum that the two elves who love Dane can do.
……
After leaving the forest, Tommy soon found Ulrika and the more than 30 female workers outside the forest. Beside these women, there are two small teams of human mercenaries.
Frowning, Tommy walked up, frowning and asked: "Why did you meet together?"
Ulrika said: "After you re-entered the forest, we ran into it not long after."
These mercenaries are naturally the guard soldiers that Dane left behind in Orinaidu. However, looking at their embarrassing appearance with their weapons confiscated, their noses and faces swollen, it is clear that they must not be able to resist the rangers led by Pearl, and they were driven out without a doubt.
It's normal for the mercenaries to be unable to resist. How can two teams of mercenaries be the opponents of the same number of elite rangers?
It's just that Tommy's heart became heavier after seeing this scene. It seems that the current situation is more serious than he expected.
"Tommy, how is the situation in the forest now?" A mercenary came forward and asked.
Tommy knew this person—Endor, one of the important confidantes of old Bynes back then. When he was in the Horror Mercenary Corps, Endor's status was much higher than Tommy's. Three or four months ago, in order to seize power, Dane had a one-on-one fair duel with Old Bynes and killed him. In order to control the entire Horror, Dane did it by putting pressure on him .
Logically speaking, Endor is considered an old veteran in the Dread Mercenary Corps, and he also surrendered to Dane afterwards, and came to Comilla Island with him, so he should be reused . However, because he was old Baines' confidant in the past, he was left alone by Dane for a period of time after arriving on the island, and he was not allowed to lead the team again until recently. After Shako was transferred to guard the underground caves, Endor was appointed as the captain of the garrison of Orenadu.
To be honest, Tommy doesn't like this guy who used to get along very well with old Bynes, and he always has some psychological resistance. But under such an urgent situation, Tommy has no way to take care of his personal likes and dislikes. He must unite all the forces that can be united.
So, Tommy replied to Ndor: "The situation is not optimistic. With our current power, it is impossible to have any influence on Auriel. It is not too late, we must return to Ghost immediately. Knife Port. Stabilizing the situation in Ghost Knife Port, guarding against these elves in the forest, and preventing the situation from getting worse before the boss returns, is what we must do and the only thing we can do.”
"Damn it!" Endor cursed. He still felt quite humiliated when he was just disarmed by the ranger troops led by Pearl and driven out of the forest. It's just that he is not an impulsive person, otherwise, if it were Golobo, that brainless guy might really have raised his ax on the spot to fight those rangers.
Now that the decision has been made, about fifty people decisively started to move towards Ghost Knife Port.
The forest in Aurelia is expanding very fast. Now, it doesn't even take half a day to walk from the edge of the forest to Ghost Knife Port. One or two hours is enough. In Ghost Knife Port, in addition to more than a hundred women, there are only about a hundred mercenary fighters of the Horror and more than 20 people led by Endor~IndoMTL.com~. Tommy, who holds these powers in his hand, is actually very empty in his heart. He was very worried that Patience's ranger troops would attack. At that time, he was not at all sure that he would be able to repel the attack of the elves by himself.
For this reason, he even thought about whether to send the mercenaries of a squadron led by Sako and Golobo stationed at the entrance of the underground cave to the mobilization meeting Ghost Knife Port. But after thinking about it, I think it’s okay. After all, the situation is not too clear for now, but he has heard about the dungeon in the underground world from Dane. If those faceless people rushed out, it would be a real big trouble.
However, although it was not easy to mobilize manpower, Tommy still sent a mercenary to inform Shaco about the incidents in Orienado and Ghost Knife Port. At that time, once the situation worsens, no matter whether it is Sacco and the others who come to support, or the people of Ghost Knife Port retreat to the freshwater lake, there is always an alternative plan, a way out.
In addition, Tommy also pulled all the people who could be mobilized to the direction of Ghost Knife Port facing the western Aurinadu, and began to build a line of defense nervously. An elf invasion might not come, but he had to prepare for the worst. He must put Ghost Knife Port on combat readiness in case something happens.
After finishing these, for the rest, Tommy can only pray to the heaven anxiously, hoping that Dane can come back soon.
