Chapter 256 Another Big Action
On this day, as soon as Du You came back, he felt that the atmosphere in Baishi City was different.
Unlike other teams, Du You can basically complete the patrol of an area in one day, and then return to the city to rest at night. In any case, the city is always safer than the outside.
But just came back today, Du You saw many people walking in a hurry, and many people's faces were very gloomy.
With this special doubt in mind, Du You walked to the task hall on his own, and recorded today's task.
"Have you heard, what happened at the Dayun Iron Mine is too tragic. I heard that except for the sand people, everyone else died. Not even the bones were left, they were all killed by those damn sand people. eaten."
"Of course I heard it. Today it's spread all over the place, and not many people come back."
"What would we do without the Dayun iron ore? The high-priced iron ore in China will not meet our needs at all. If we continue like this, we will not have enough weapons in our hands, and we don't know if the reserves of Baishicheng are enough."
An elderly old man next to him said disdainfully: "Hmph, how could Baishicheng give up the Dayun Iron Mine, it will definitely be taken back. Without the Dayun Iron Mine, we would be in a disadvantageous state for the sand people. Blackstone Canyon It’s okay to lose it, but the Dayun Iron Mine definitely won’t work.”
"Who said that Blackrock Canyon can be given up? There was no way to breed griffins before. Now we have the ability to breed griffins. Sooner or later, we will get Blackrock Canyon back."
Blackrock Canyon is the closest known gathering point of gryphons to White Rock, and the rest are either too far or too few. If you want to mass-produce Gryphon Knights within a few years, you must win this place.
"The sand people must also know that we have to retake the iron ore. I guess they must have set up an ambush there. If we go there so rashly, the consequences may be very dangerous."
"If you can't do it, you can do it. Without the Dayun Iron Mine, in another two years, our Baishicheng will be passive."
Seeing that many people here are about to quarrel, at this time, a soldier suddenly posted a new task, and it was posted at the top, and it was written a lot in large characters.
The old man laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, what's the matter, let me just say it, Baishicheng will definitely not give up the Dayun iron ore. The soldiers are expensive, and the faster the sand people's arrangement is, the more difficult it is to improve."
"No, I heard that the sand people are gathering in the oasis opposite our White Rock City, and they may attack at any time.
"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly broke in and shouted loudly. Such a big thing cannot be concealed casually. Hearing this, many people's expressions changed.
Sure enough, it was soon revealed that the sand people had taken action. Shiroishi Castle immediately issued an order to recall all the soldiers still operating outside. At the same time, the soldiers in the city also began to mobilize.
"Next, the army can't move around casually. The army must meet the next attack of the sand people and be contained."
"Damn, what about the Dayun Iron Mine? If we give the Sand People enough time, it will be difficult for us to snatch it back in the future. What is Baishicheng doing all these years, why did the Iron Mine fall so easily. "
Everyone shouted for a long time, but they didn't come up with a specific solution. In the end, it was the arrival of an official from the City Lord's Mansion that calmed everyone down.
"Everyone, listen to me. We have already checked it out. There is only a third-order quicksand warrior at Dayun Iron Mine, with a second-order team stationed there. We will send an air cavalry team and They fought decisively. But for the other sand people, we don't have that many troops to mobilize for the time being, and we need mercenaries to go, and this time the mercenary has made a lot of merit."
The task just posted is immediately replaced by the new task.
Du You's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. "Great, if I do well this time, then I can definitely become a noble with a formal territory before I leave this world."
Du You has already started to think about where his territory should be. Du You could faintly feel in his heart that to truly become a strong professional among professionals, territory is essential. And this territory may have something to do with the territory of the local nobles. Even if it's just a guess, it's worth trying it out for yourself.
If it really doesn't work, then with the help of this identity, you can also get a lot of benefits in this world. After all, this is a foreign world, and so far, Du You has not seen other professionals.
It would be great if the world was yours alone.
Without thinking about it, Du You directly signed up. This time the speed of action was unprecedented, and the entire White Rock City was quickly notified.
We will set off that night, and we will officially start the war at dawn tomorrow, which is also the time planned by the military. After all, the sand people are not an army, they are a powerful rabble.
Even if someone knew that dawn was the most vulnerable time, most sandmen would ignore it.
That night, when the time arrived, Du You and others came to a side door. At this time, on the city wall, there was already a team of Pegasus knights on standby.
Others also gathered here, Du You counted carefully, the number of mercenaries around had reached more than 2,000. It seems that there are not many people, but this is a raid, not a large-scale head-to-head confrontation.
And there is not a single weak person who comes here. Even if it was a second-order one, Du You found several in it. The breath of each of these people made Du You feel a huge threat.
Unexpectedly, in this operation, he is not the strongest among ordinary mercenaries, Du You sighed a little.
But that's fine, at least if he really encounters a powerful existence among the sand people, he won't be so easily targeted.
"It's time, let's go." In the darkness, a soldier gave an order, the door quietly opened, and a group of people filed out. Although there are many people, no one speaks, and there is no sound during the action.
The Pegasus Knights in the air also flew quietly after they were dispatched. Although the Pegasus does not fly very fast, it is better than stable, and the flight at night is also silent.
At night, kills and griffins have vision affected, but not Pegasus. The Pegasus Knight did not fly out ahead of time, but followed in the high sky behind their team, using the night to hide their figure quietly, and could not be seen without looking closely.
