through the dark road

Chapter 386 Friendship Competition
After the five ships of the Fugil family docked at the port, a team of nearly 300 people quickly gathered at the pier, and they seemed to mix with the first group of people very familiarly.

The two sides have often met in the past, and the mercenaries are quite acquainted. It seems that these people belong to the same family.

After some conversation, the leader of the Virgil's family learned that the other party had been dispatched for local defense, and was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

What the hell is Conrad doing?Is it just to earn a name here?

Or is it falsely accepting dispatches to obtain defense deployment and intelligence?
No need. .Since I'm here to help in the battle, it's fine if I don't hesitate to ask for some necessary information. . . .

"Damn... If possible, I really want to be like them... When you meet a spider group, you're done, so don't worry."

The leader of the Fugil family cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to make his own claim.

He was a little troubled by this unexpected situation, because the order they got from the Patriarch was already complicated. .

In addition to keeping an eye on every move of the other two, they also brought a professional prospecting team in their team, because the real purpose of Virgil's reinforcements to the Spider Forest was to prepare for the seizure of resources.

But judging from the aura shown by the Conrad family and the content of the conversation, they really came to join the war.Since this person can be the team leader, he still has some insight.

He was coping with the conversation as usual, but in his heart he was extremely depressed thinking:

"Forget it, this is exactly in line with the Patriarch's mind, let them fight head-on with the spider swarm... But this feeling that the whole world is just a group of people doing nothing is really uncomfortable! In the future, bragging together will be special. What a shame..."

At this time, the windy and sandy mining city of Alcanas, because of the existence of wind turbines and the copper cables stretching above the buildings, made Mobei feel more of a post-apocalyptic punk flavor.

"I didn't expect it to run quite stably..."

Mo Bei looked at the windmill whirling in the wind through the window of the attic and muttered.

"You seem surprised . . . shouldn't you be?" Ned asked.

"... After all, the accessories are pretty rough, aren't they?"

"If a fault occurs and the power is cut off, they will probably seek compensation from you on the grounds of affecting the smelting." Alvin said in an interface.

"Losing the ore, increasing the electricity bill!" Perona said.

Everyone was speechless.

Really cruel. . .

Mo Bei felt that Perona already knew the rules of the game in the monopoly industry.

"My lord, lunch is ready." Two guards knocked on the door, and the servants lined up to push in several dining cars.

The dining car in the front was for Conrad, with silver cutlery on it, and the main course, what it was, was buckled under the cover of the gleaming domed plate.

The ones at the back look more casual. Two scorched, two-meter-long unidentified creatures have knives or saws with different functions inserted into their backs, and then some cheese, fruit and wine, casually surrounding the barbecue. Arranged, it looks very rough.

"This is... a crocodile??" Mo Bei asked, pointing to the barbecued meat whose head, limbs and tail tip had been cut off.

"Today's patrol team encountered a group of dune monitor lizards. It is a rare delicacy here. Please taste it." One of the servants replied respectfully.

"Oh..."

Mo Bei suddenly realized, no wonder the head and limbs were cut off. The fangs and claws of this monster all have poisonous glands, which is very troublesome to deal with, and this is a rare delicacy. .

After waving away the outsiders, he opened the main course prepared for Conrad and looked at it, which was a piece of fried steak.

He pushed the food to Perona. The little girl cut a small piece and put it in her mouth, chewing it expressionlessly, which meant that the taste was not good, and the delicate presentation was in vain.

Several other people tasted the grilled lizard, and the quality of the meat was pretty good, but the taste and heat were average. After more than ten days, they also knew that the food conditions here were about the same level.

In order to maintain the character design, Mo Bei definitely has no way to cook for everyone, and he doesn't have the time.

Right now, they have to get a lot of gold coins from the other two every day, as well as the accumulated hatred points, so they also have to actively participate in patrols and inspections, strictly guard against the petty actions of Virgil and the big businessmen, and also To collect all kinds of information.

When the other party finds that there is no hope of developing a generator spontaneously, that is when the conflict continues to escalate.

Although the expenses of the other two smelters have been saved a lot, these big nobles will not be boiled to death in this pot of warm water, as evidenced by the constant spying and research.

These people all understand that if one of the parties is allowed to always hold such a huge advantage, it will be a matter of time before the kingdom's power is reshuffled.

"If you keep charging their electricity bills like this, they probably will join forces to mess with you soon." Ned said in a vague voice while eating.

"Well, it must have been summed up. From their point of view, whether it's on the harbor side or here, our side has the upper hand. It's strange if we can sit still."

Mo Bei picked up the napkin and wiped his hands, took the water that Akali poured for him, and seeing that there was no thoughtful look in her brows, he couldn't help but smile.

In fact, Akali, like him, does not belong to that kind of intelligent leader, but in the past in their team, she was definitely the one who worried the most.

When the two teams acted together, he found that Akali would become more relaxed, as if he was just waiting for him to make all the plans or give orders to fight, which made him feel dependent.

Although they realized that the other two would have plans, everyone didn't seem nervous.

Through their investigation during this period, they learned that Virgil and the big merchants actually transferred part of the defense force in the mining area, and set off southward during the few days when they were making the generator.

The journey has been smooth and smooth, and it should be here soon, but it is not so easy to transfer back, so now they have the most people in the mining area, even if they really do it, it is worthwhile.

Anyway, they are not their own people, and they don't feel sorry for these three families who beat out the dog's brains. If they commit crimes, they will commit crimes. If they don't kill people. .

What's more, the Holy See may not see these three forces really fighting to the death, and the deeper purpose of Mo Bei and others is to involve the Holy See forces.

For the time being, they don't want to have direct contact with the Holy See, as they are so easy to be targeted.It would be safer to use the three-party turmoil to put a smoke bomb, and then secretly probe the most mysterious force in the kingdom.

The mercenary guild has nothing to worry about. More than half of them have already gone to the rainforest to go wild. The only thing they need to consider is how to appease their wounded hearts after losing their commission in the future. . .

While several people were discussing what actions the other two families might take, there was another knock on the door.

"My lord, here is a letter from His Royal Highness, sent by Duke Virgil's men."

The guard handed over a beautifully crafted envelope with both hands, and sealed it with gold-sprinkled bright red wax paint.

"Understood, you go."

Mo Bei took the envelope, and after the guards left, he tore it up rudely, and muttered in disgust:
"Two old men sent a letter like a love letter..."

"Actually, I think that if you don't talk about a lot of things, others won't think about it..." Ned wanted to imply that this might be your own problem.

"This shows that I have a pair of eyes that are good at finding problems." Mo Bei replied proudly, and passed the finished letter to his friends, smiling a little weirdly.

The content of the letter is very simple. Virgil said that the life in the mining area is very boring, why don't we organize some activities to make it active.

Let's say a friendly game.

That is to plant the flag!
