Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

After the king's soldiers left, Evelia threw the crumpled letter to Aldrich and said, "The one who signed the agreement is Daniel!"

Aldrich recognized the contents inside, his face sinking like water.

"He is too ruthless! The Church of Chaos has infiltrated the Northern Alliance for a long time, and he knows the weakness of the Northern Alliance!" Before the war, the most important thing is the intelligence war.Evelia can get the content of the agreement, and Daniel also knows the dynamics of the Northern Alliance well.

"Daniel also participated in this war." Aldridge thought silently, as one of the bishops of the Chaos Church, Daniel should be living a good life in the capital at this time, so why did he come to the front to participate in the battle.

To be honest, it's a little too dedicated.

No matter what, the information has been received, the preparations for the battle are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the hidden dangers of the Suha Kingdom have been exposed and resolved. The final outcome will still be decided on the battlefield.

Evelia stayed in the fortress for a while, helped Aldrich deal with some matters, and then left.She got the news that after the Suha Kingdom's army left, they lobbied the king and prince's betrayal everywhere, causing several mutinies in the army.Now the Kingdom of Suha is divided into two factions, and chaos has begun. There have even been several small-scale battles. Sooner or later, these battles will turn into an unavoidable civil war.The armies competed for the ownership of the cities and roads, and Evelia secretly supported them, so the previously blocked roads occupied by those armies were opened again.

She was finally able to continue delivering supplies to Epra Peak.

After that arrest storm, Aldrich was a blessing in disguise.The soldiers under him have a new look, their momentum is rising, and their ideas are clearer.Aldridge took advantage of this opportunity to step up training and make them a strong and determined army.

Time passed and the weather got colder and colder.In the middle of a certain night, the soldiers ambushed in Mount Epra carefully concealed their figures.Although there were many warriors here, they didn't make any sound.

In the dark of night, a soldier was prostrate on the ground, and the chill of late autumn permeated his robe and penetrated deeply into his limbs and bones.General Aldridge has tried his best to ensure that everyone's clothes are available, but the supplies are so scarce that even he doesn't have an extra piece of clothes for himself.He carried a spear on his back. The wooden handle was old, and it was brought over by the surrounding people who dismantled their farm tools.Several iron sheets were attached to the chest, forming a simple protection.And the knife hanging on his waist was brought from home by himself.

Although this equipment is crude, it is considered complete.

The soldiers have been lurking here for a long time, and even their breathing has to be integrated into the atmosphere of the soil.He was as motionless as a stone statue.At this moment, he felt a numbness in his calf. The soldier glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and saw a black snake winding forward on his calf.

The soldier's scalp felt numb all of a sudden, and the whole body of the snake was attached to his body. The cold body temperature and scales filled the soldier with fear.But he remained motionless, maintaining his original posture.Because just a few days ago, the army of the Shilan Empire had already stationed on the opposite side, and they continued to send scouts to Mount Aipura to investigate.

The snake crawled along his calf, onto his thigh, and then meandered towards his waist and back, the sticky feeling was extremely vivid.The soldier's eyes widened, thinking that if you want to bite me, bite me quickly!I'm dead, and you can't live either!

At this moment, he heard a brisk and swift sound of piercing through the air, and with a soft sound, the snake fell on him, completely dead.

A wooden stick penetrated the snake's body, and the person next to him smiled triumphantly at the soldier and stuck out his tongue.

This person's nickname is a bee, because he has the ability to spit out sharp stings with his tongue, and it is extremely fast and powerful, and can easily penetrate flesh and blood.This attack method does not require any weapons, just a sharpened wooden stick, and an iron needle is better, and it is launched silently, making people shudder.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his thanks with his eyes.

The bee has a more outgoing personality. After staying here for a long time, he held his head and stomach. He mouthed to the soldiers: "When will they come? I can't wait to smash their heads."

The soldier blinked but didn't reply.

The bee went on to say: "Have you heard that the Shilan Empire now has an army of 70? I can help you kill two more..."

A white light in the darkness interrupted the bee's words. I saw a large number of troops gradually appearing on the road below the Epra Peak. They did not hold torches, and there was no moonlight tonight. They walked forward quietly. .If Aldrich hadn't ambushed these soldiers in advance on the mountain, the Shilan Empire's army might have quietly reached the fortress.

The commander of the Shilan Empire was very proud. He thought today was an excellent time to fight. There was no moon, and the entire Epra Mountains sank into darkness.At this time, they sent troops to sneak into the past. Aldrich's soldiers might still be asleep.

He was on horseback, walking in the middle of the procession, and just as they were in the middle of the march, the scout said to the commander: "Something is wrong."

The commander asked impatiently, "What's wrong?"

"It's quiet." The scout said, "It shouldn't be so quiet in the mountains."

He listened for a moment, then looked around again. The entire army was surrounded by darkness, which gave him an ominous premonition.

"You care too much." The commander sneered, "Cowards shouldn't go to the battlefield."

They continued to walk forward for a while, and they could faintly see the tower of the fortress standing silently in the darkness. The commander raised his whip and shouted: "Come on!"

Just as he finished speaking, countless huge boulders fell from the mountain. Those soldiers were rushing forward, but they didn't have time to dodge around, and they were smashed to death.Moreover, this road is very narrow, they have no way of avoiding it, they can only turn into meat paste under the boulder.Seeing this scene, the commander turned around and ran back without hesitation.

Seeing the commander running away, the other soldiers panicked even more. The scout hid in a crevice of a boulder and looked up the mountain. Boulders fell continuously, and the mighty army of the Shilan Empire was defeated.

We must first deal with those people on the mountain and occupy a high position!But the commander didn't listen to his opinion at that time, the scout gritted his teeth, stood up and began to direct the remaining soldiers to retreat. As for the commander, he had already run away.

The commander was very lucky and escaped from Mount Epra alive, with only a few people left around him.When the commander returned to the camp, he was furious and called all the generals for a meeting.

Daniel was among them.

The commander sat in the front row and got angry, while Daniel stood in the last row and looked at him coldly.The commander's main job is not a general, but a close minister who hugs the king's thigh and climbs up.At the beginning, His Majesty the King asked the general to send troops to attack the Northern Alliance immediately, but the general himself was not willing to go.So the close minister stepped forward and volunteered.He did this for several purposes, firstly to give the king face, and secondly because, in the southern war, those generals made a lot of money, and he naturally wanted to get a share of it.And after winning the battle, the king will value him even more, he has actual achievements in his hands, and his words will be more powerful, who dares to look down on him.

All of this is based on the victory of the war.

This commander thinks he has a clear mind, and wars are often determined by numbers. He has a total of 70 troops in his hands, and he can drown the Northern Alliance with people.At the beginning, Aldridge held an army of 7 people, which already made the kingdoms of the Northern Alliance panic. Such a number of troops was unimaginable for the Northern Alliance.

This is also the reason why the Kingdom of Suha first thought of seeking peace after knowing that the Shilan Empire would come to fight.They also didn't think they could resist the Shilan Empire, so they sent envoys to the Shilan Empire with exquisite gifts and sincerity.At that time, it was Daniel who negotiated everything. His Majesty the King said to him, I want the money, and this battle must be fought and must be won.

Daniel said, no problem.

Since the king must fight, there is no need for him to bother to stop him.In Daniel's eyes, Suha Kingdom's actions are like sending food.He used deceptive language to lure the envoy, and finally signed that insidious agreement.With only a few hundred thousand gold coins, the emissary decided to betray the entire Northern Alliance.

Although the king was not happy about the money flying away in front of him, he still accepted the agreement when Daniel knew the reason and moved him emotionally.After Daniel finished explaining well, he wondered why they were so short-sighted, the envoys were like this, the Suha Kingdom was like this, and so was the king of the Shilan Empire.Although Daniel has seen many kings who did nothing in the history books, and some kings did not even appear in the meeting hall in their entire lives, when he actually faced them, he was still surprised.Under the current system, some people can become kings not because they are outstanding, but because they were born into the royal family.And this king has an excellent brother on his head, and no one has ever trained him as a king.In sharp contrast, he is even more distorted, narrow-minded and jealous than ordinary people.

At that time, although he and Aldridge stood on different positions, they felt powerless for the same reason.

Then Daniel told the king that he wanted to go to the Northern Alliance with the army, hoping to contribute. His Majesty the King only needs to give him a small position.

Second more!
