Twenty Sided Dice

readx(); Siegel waved his fingers, and the wine bottle on the table flew by itself and poured it into the wine glass in front of Mana and Kenny. The female knight smiled and nodded her thanks, but the one-eared knight seemed a little embarrassed.

"I know that the training of the soldiers in the territory is very good in the south." Siegel said.

Kenny was a little overwhelmed. Didn't he reprimand everyone at the meeting just now? Why do you say this now?

"As for the judgment of the elves' combat effectiveness, your opinion is very pertinent. Now is not the time to confront the troops of the Heim Land. Mana reported to me that there are many knights in the land who want to take back their castles, not only among them We are in Heimland, and there are some knights who have taken refuge here, aren't they?"

"Lord Lord, you're right," Kenny said, "when they came, they had almost nothing, and after a few days of full food, they felt that they were already very powerful, and they clamored to restore their homeland. But I think they just wanted to arouse Pay attention, to earn a reputation for yourself. They are gambling. When the elves are really repelled, they will become the vanguard of the rebellion, so titles and territories are possible."

Mana glanced at Siegel and said, "Kenji Knight is a very smart person, I'm right."

Siegel nodded and said to Kenny: "Although the occupied areas of Heimland will be recovered, and the land in the south is also very valuable, Heimland is not the place for a decisive battle, and the timing is not right. I have a Important tasks can only be given to people who are smart and loyal enough. So think about it, and tell me if you understand what I just said."

A test, but also a good opportunity, Kenny thought. He rubbed his still intact ear, and tugged at the earlobe—this was his habit of thinking.

The mage was not in a hurry, picked up the cup and took a sip, always looking at McKee's expression, waiting for his response. Siegel has a daring plan that he must find a smart and capable knight in charge of, and to keep it secret. Mana and Hunk were ruled out for the first time. The acting lord recommended Kenny, so now we need to see if this person really has a long-term vision and the ability to adapt to changes.

"Lord Lord, this is how I understand it." Kenny said: "The elves outside the city have been besieging, but now we are allowed to go out of the city to farm. Although this move also means coercion and supervision. But I think they will Keep it that way until Waterdeep decides the winner."

"Go on." Siegel nodded, not wrong at all.

"A more reasonable guess is that the Lord and the elf reached some kind of agreement to get this situation. I think. As long as the general of the opposite elf is always Leah, the agreement will be followed, and the Heim region will be safe. Do. Taking good precautions is basic, but there is no need to provoke a war, at least not on our own land." He raised his head, swallowed the wine in the glass, and said, "Sir, none of the lords in the south has one. He is our real opponent, especially after such a long period of siege. And the elves are better prepared to take advantage of field operations. If there is a large-scale battle in the south now. If we are involved, then the advantage we have established so far no more."

Siegel applauded, "Mana said, you used to be a mercenary for a long time?" He said, "I heard that the bard who sang at Enkat's Cliffs Manor last time was actually the one you knew earlier. partner?"

Knights pay attention to their backgrounds, and the mercenary career of working hard for money is obviously not a respectable past. Kenny raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him. Mana has also worked as a mercenary, but her status is relatively low. Lord Siegel used to be a seaman, and is generally considered to be better than a mercenary, but who knows if he has ever done anything that changed his identity, such as smuggling or piracy? Kenny judged. Feeling that neither of them are the kind of people who care about their background and history, they nodded and replied:

"I am now a knight, a lord, and I can't forget my old companions. They are very well behaved now. Lord Baron, never cause trouble."

"Very good, at least you're being honest today, and you haven't forgotten your past adventure partners." Siegel said, "I think this task can be given to you."

He glanced at Mana, who shared the plan.

"I need you to secretly contact various mercenaries, possibly even assassin organizations, robbers, and bandits. To harass the elves." The female knight said: "The purpose of all this is to contain the elves' forces and make them stretched in the south. But this matter must not allow them to find out that Heimled is behind the push."

Kenki blinked and said suddenly, "Do we have to do something else, so we have to draw away the elves' forces?"

Siegel nodded: "When the elves need troops, they will inevitably recruit soldiers to besiege us. Let them know about our training every day, just to give them enough reasons to split up. Not only through their own eyes, but also There is a whistle blowing in their ears. After your action begins, the fields of Heimland and Ghostmist Swamp will continue to be cultivated, and everything will be the same as before. I think the whole decisive area is in the north. I predict that there will be an important The battle must be fought, and it is related to the trend of the entire war. So the elves can only be busy and have no time to pay attention to the city of Myr, then we can mobilize the army."

Kenny thought for a while, then frowned: "After the war, most of the mercenaries lost their business and couldn't leave by boat, so many of them became robbers. These people forgot their interests, and many robbed those who were hiding. Refugees in the mountains, but not many dare to challenge the elves."

"So you have to find a way. In the New World, the number of humans is more than six times that of elves, but they are just a mass of loose sand, without any deterrence. In addition, the preparations of elves are indeed better, so the army is defeated like a mountain." Xi Geer's eyes were sharp, and there was an icy gaze in it. "However, it will take quite a long time for elves to occupy the city walls and mountains with such a small population. Even if they plant trees everywhere and use the forest as a magic tower, the trees also need the nourishment of time, and they can't be done overnight! Since they want to plant trees, I will destroy it and prevent them from doing what they want!"

The one-eared knight touched the old scar on his chin, which had been cut with a knife, then burned, and now smooth: "No wonder they keep planting trees, it turned out to be sentinels."

"Fortunately their trees haven't grown yet, otherwise all operations will be difficult. Kenny, how much do you think will make the mercenaries and robbers forget the danger of elves and dare to try to attack?" Siegel asked .

"I think five gold coins will do," said Kenny.

"Add to ten," Siegel said. "There is a magic item called the Hand of the Sage, which hangs around the neck to expel evil. Its best raw material is the right hand of the elf."

Kenji shuddered. Elves without a right hand are naturally unable to draw bows, and even less likely to use long swords. Completely lost the threat. And this also forced the mercenaries to come up with real battle examples, and it was impossible to cheat and cheat. If you want to cut off the hand of the elf, you must fight with the elf with real swords and spears, which is much more difficult than ordinary attack and destruction.

For Heimland. Using the method of collecting elf palms can avoid wasting money, but pay attention to divert your eyes. Kenny didn't know what magic item the Hand of the Sage was, but it sounded tingling. Use the hands of elf corpses as raw materials, and hang them around your neck all day, only evil wizards do this, right? No wonder the whole thing has to be kept secret. There must be absolutely nothing to do with Heimling.

"The most important part of this matter is to cause some trouble for the elves, but not to make them angry." Siegel said: "According to the elves' character and tradition, it will not harm ordinary civilians, but if they are In a hurry, only God knows what they can do."

Mana continued: "So on the bright side, we have to fight these robbers on the grounds of maintaining order, and even help the elves to capture them. Only in this way can our cavalry go out of the city, and there can be activities between the lords in the south. Space."

The one-eared knight took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then nodded heavily: "This thing can be done. I can contact a few strict-mouthed middlemen and do it like a bounty from the Mages Association. ." Then he clenched his fists and summoned up his courage to ask: "Sir Baron, robbers do not obey orders like soldiers, and they are likely to bring disaster. Outside the castle, there are some farmers who hide from elves. Villages are likely to be hurt more than elves. What will happen to these mercenaries when the war is over?"

"No matter what the outcome of the war, they will be wanted for atrocities against civilians," Siegel said. "If they want to stay in the New World, the starting point is a good choice for them. There are countless treasures west of the City Wall Mountains, which are in need of human adventurers.”

Mana blinked and continued: "Mencenaries are doing things with money. They use their skills for food. The rewards offered by the baron are already very high, and they won't be in arrears. It depends on who can earn it smarter and safely. Money. If you can’t even kill the enemy who invaded your homeland, what face is there to be a mercenary in the New World? But if you don’t know how to restrain yourself, the brainless guy will definitely not be able to make a long-term career.”

"I see. Lord Baron, I will arrange this."

"Very good, I believe you can do it well." Siegel stood up, holding the defensive staff in his right hand, and then cast a spell. A map of the south composed of illusions appeared on the table. He pointed to a few spots, which were not too far from Heim's Landing, within the distance that the cavalry ran for five days.

"These places are the key, to focus the eyes of the elves here." Siegel said: "Didn't Uther always want to organize a coalition to resist the elves, let's see his sincerity."

Kenny looked at the map and took it to heart.

"I will give you 50,000 gold coins at one time, all of which are minted by the lords of the south, with varying fineness. There is a small amount of our gold coins mixed with it, but it is to hide people's eyes and ears." Siegel said: "I don't expect too much. You can buy the hands of five thousand elves, but you must put aside the suspicion of Heimland. This is not a glorious thing, it goes against the spirit of chivalry, but it is difficult to win such a disadvantaged war with chivalry alone."

The one-eared knight quickly said respectfully: "Lord Baron, I'm not the kind of rigid person. I'm loyal to you and can perform any task for you~www.readwn.com~ Go, you are Heimland and want to win. critical first step.”

After the knight knight saluted again, he exited the hall, leaving only Mana and Siegel in the room.

Siegel looked at the map in front of him without a word, thinking about the situation in the south, and Mana stood quietly beside him. The map clearly outlines the topography, the distribution of castles, and the roads and rivers. Siegel uses different colors to divide the blocks to indicate the relationship between the elves and the various lords.

"There is nothing to fight in the south." Siegel sighed: "The forces are intricate, and it is easy to get caught in the quagmire and be dragged down by allied forces. And as long as the fight starts, the situation faced by Heimland will be worse than it is now. Suitable."

With a wave of his hand, the illusion map expanded, marking the northern terrain. The situation of the entire area surrounded by the Walled Mountains is presented in front of you.

Siegel's eyes were on Waterdeep City, and he didn't leave for a long time. (To be continued.)
