Chapter 36: The Gathering of Relatives, the Plot Before Departure

当奥尔科特男爵收到威灵的信时,他的第一反应是怀疑.

 

"管家,去把执政官阿布特叫过来."

 

"是的,师父."

 

管家走后,奥尔科特拿着信坐下来,又仔细地看了一遍资料.

 

有一个特殊的家族徽章,他认为这是他侄子的.但对方又是怎么知道,会有两百多名山地矮人护送一批青铜穿过灰雾荒野的边境区域.

 

"有一个大问题,我应该同意吗?"奥尔科特经常敲打桌子,开始思考利弊.

 

过了一会儿,奥尔科特的守护骑士,古特的首席执政官阿布特来到书房,向他致敬."主啊,你在找我."

 

"Abbott,看看这个."

 

看到他的知己到来,奥尔科特直接将信交给阿博特供他阅读.

 

几分钟后,阿布特想了想,回答道:"师父,我觉得这封信中描述的信息有八十%的几率是真的.你的侄子不可能编造谎言来骗你.

 

"在这个前提下,带领山铜贵金属护航的山矮人绝对不弱.以你侄子的实力,他肯定抢不来,才求你帮忙.

 

"终于,你晋升子爵的基本条件已经满足了,只差了军功,这次是个机会."

 

"所以,我想你可以同意去."

 

奥尔科特想了想,觉得自己的侄子不可能这样骗他,这是合理的,那样会严重打击他在家族中的名声.

 

"好吧,你下去让骑士们集合.这一次,我想取回足够的山地矮人头颅,为子爵的晋升增添最后一块砖.

 

"是的,主."

 

当奥尔科特下定决心开始集结部队时,位于山脊项圈的布莱恩一接到信,就率领他所有的青铜骑士和骑士侍从来到了祈星湖,并将领土交给了魔法骑士阿德里安代为管理.

 

最后,在位于卡德罗省东北部的枫叶,阿利克的父亲埃德加一接到信就给儿子打了电话.

 

"Father, you are looking for me."

 

Hearing this, Edgar opened his eyes, looked at his eldest son, and asked, "Verin Akers, the fifth son of the contemporary family, what do you think?"

 

When Alik heard this, he was stunned. He didn't know why his father asked about this.

 

However, since his father asked, he could only answer truthfully.

 

"I met Velin once at Brian's castle and spent some time together. He has a city and knows how to weigh the pros and cons. The most important thing is to be cautious."

 

"Okay, you go and gather people and prepare to follow me to Verin's territory." Edgar ordered Alik after listening.

 

"Yes, Father."

 

He didn't ask why he did this, trusting his father to make his own decision.

 

 

On September 16th, an unusual day, Alcott, Edgar, and Brian arrived at the Lake of Prayer with their subordinates.

 

"Cousins, please come in."

 

With a smile on his face, Velin brought his two elders and cousin to a carefully furnished room.

 

After everyone was polite, Weilin directly took out the topographic map of the investigation in advance and began to explain the plan.

 

"Uncle Alcott, Uncle Edgar, Cousin Brian. Four days later, more than 200 mountain dwarves will escort a batch of mountain copper through this place, and the most powerful one is the silver rank."

 

Alcott, who was sitting first on the left, looked at the detailed topographic map on the table and asked, "Verin, everyone has their own secrets, but I still want to confirm with you that there will really be mountain dwarves escorting the mountain copper mine through here."

 

On the other side, Edgar also had a serious face, staring at his nephew who he had never met, hoping to get him back for sure.

 

As for Brian, he didn't care. Anyway, he believed that Velin wouldn't deceive him, and he didn't care if it was a lie.

 

"Elders, I swear to Life Muse and my family ancestors that everything I say is true."

 

Seeing this, the two middle-aged men already believed Verin's words.

 

"Since that's the case, let's discuss this action plan."

 

Alcott, as the most powerful person among the four, deserved to take over the command of this operation.

 

Edgar on the opposite side nodded in agreement, and it made no sense for Waring and Brian.

 

After all, during this operation, Alcott brought the most people. There were 200 Bronze Knights and six Silver Knights. He was also a Silver High-Rank Knight.

 

Next came Edgar, with a hundred and twenty bronze knights and four silver knights.

 

Then there was Brian, fifty Bronze Knights, plus himself, one Silver Knight.

 

In the end, he dispatched eight bronze knights and two silver knights.

 

"In this operation, the silver high-level warriors among the mountain dwarves will be resisted by me."

 

"Edgar, Brian, the two of you lead the remaining Silver Knights to resist the other Mountain Dwarf Silver-level enemies."

 

"As for Verin, Alik, you are responsible for leading the Bronze Knights and encircling the remaining mountain dwarf transporters."

 

"Because of our actions, the other party will definitely retaliate, so the information must be kept confidential, and a mountain dwarf must not be released."

 

Seeing Alcott finish, Willin asked, "Uncle, can you use this opportunity to frame this matter on the centaur?"

 

In the conference room, everyone looked at Velin, very puzzled.

 

"Tell me about it."

 

Seeing this, Velin took out a bone token from his arms, with the words Doris written on it, and the unique mark of the Centaur clan.

 

Alcott recognized the token at a glance and asked in confusion, "Where did you get the Centaur Silver Warrior's token?"

 

"Uncle, I can't tell you this, but we can use this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the mountain dwarves and the centaurs, so that we can clear our suspicions."

 

"Willin, this kind of thing is easy to reveal, and doing so will bring us great hidden dangers." Edgar sorted out the relationship and advised.

 

"Uncle, don't worry. Even if the matter is exposed, the ultimate target will not be us, but the Hax family."

 

After careful consideration, Alcott nodded and said, "Yes, but when deploying, use the deodorant potion to clean the breath on the token to prevent the other party from using magic to search."

 

"Uncle, I understand."

 

The next day, three hundred and seventy-eight bronze knights and fourteen silver knights, with enough supplies, left the Lake of Praying Star and headed 150 kilometers southwest to ambush the mountain dwarves and snatch the rare metal of mountain copper.
