Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 286 Another Hongmen Banquet
After listening to the adjutant's matter-of-fact account, not to mention the key members of the alliance who were watching the whole process, even Christine, the person involved, almost believed it.

To say she is stupid is just compared to the beasts of the three families in the inner city. Since she wants to occupy the magpie's nest, she naturally has investigated the power structure within the Mountain People Mercenary Alliance in advance.

Therefore, she did not show any expression or use any words, but directly asked.

"Huh, you? Everyone knows that you are Fenn's confidant. What is your purpose of doing this? Are you hiding and waiting to stab me in the back one day?"

But facing the executioner's murderous glare, which seemed to be filled with blood, the adjutant, who was only in his tenth level, did not look away and just said loudly.

"The Mountain Folk Mercenary Alliance is Lord Fenn's hard work. As a veteran who has experienced countless accidents and separations, he has long been prepared for his sudden death and has made clear his funeral arrangements to me."

At this he let out a sigh and then took a sharp breath.

"Mountain Mercenary Alliance, leader Finn has an order!"

Almost all the mercenaries subconsciously wanted to kneel down on one knee, but suddenly realized that now that the new leader is here, it seems a bit...

But just when they were half-crouching with their heads lowered and looking at all kinds of funny things, the sound of Christine's leg armor hitting the ground made them feel like they were being amnesty.

It scared me to death. It seems that although this crazy bitch kills ruthlessly, she still has some rules...

When the adjutant saw this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He knelt down to help Christine's face, and then opened a letter and became convinced.

Finn was not a master of rhetoric, so the instructions in the letter mainly expressed two meanings.

If the locals of Sunshine City (Business Federation), settlers of the Wilderness (Adventurers Association), or the expatriate nobles of the Kingdom of Glow (Holy Light Church) want to annex the mercenary alliance, all mercenaries must rise up to resist. Fight until the last soldier is exhausted.

——Every inch of the Deep Forest people's territory was conquered. Since they have been labeled as bloodthirsty and bellicose, they cannot allow anyone to step on them.

If another Deep Forest noble wants to usurp the position of leader of the Mountain Folk Mercenary Alliance, as long as his purpose is legitimate and powerful enough to prevent us Deep Forest people from losing face, we can respect him as the new leader and cooperate fully. Don't Make unnecessary sacrifices.

——This place is far away from home. The Deep Forest Bloodline should be members of the same family. As long as they can protect everyone's interests, no matter who takes the top spot, it will be the same.

???

Kristine suddenly felt that the core goal of this series of commands seemed familiar, like...

She raised her eyes and glanced at the ceiling of the hall. Different from ordinary conference rooms, the so-called Covenant Hall was painted with very beautiful and detailed murals like a church. This was the last thing that the Deep Forest people inherited from the elves of the Holy Tree Kingdom. Artistic influence.

The theme of the painting is not a banquet or a garden tour, but a massive war and the decisive battle that determined the status of the Deep Forest Kingdom as the world's most powerful nation - the Encirclement and Suppression of the Great Holy Tree.

In the center of the picture is a king on horseback wearing silver armor and a blue cape. He is directing his magic knights to launch a decisive blow against the last phalanx of the elves.

This is the founding monarch of the Deep Forest Kingdom and the 132nd savior recruited by Yang Yue.

The Lion-Hearted King, who was full of martial virtue and famous, was the ancestral king of the deep forest, and had high hopes from the will of the world, but died in the belly of a succubus in a strange way.

The ancestor of Candlelight, a similarly declining noble surname, was once one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table around him.

As a die-hard man who had the power of following the dragon and listened to the holy teachings day and night, he also passed down many of his teachings to future generations by word of mouth.

Therefore, what Finn expressed was part of what Lionheart said back then.

...So, so loyal...

Looking at Christine who was deep in thought, the adjutant took out a scroll bound in sheepskin and held it up high.

"If you agree, please take this thing away!"

Kristine had no reason to refuse, so she slowly walked forward and picked it up.

This is the "Mountain Mercenary Covenant", and the foreign king will not accept his orders. How can the northern nobles know the situation in Sunshine City?
In order to resolve many internal disputes, this group of soldiers who were thousands of miles away from home signed this additional covenant on the basis of the "Kingdom Covenant".

It's a pity that after so many years, the so-called covenant has long been reduced to waste paper that no one abides by.

Even Finn, who valued it the most, forgot the creed that "all mercenaries have the obligation to save all mercenaries" written in a single line of large characters on a single page, and allowed Andrew to harm countless comrades...

But no matter what, its status as a written document still exists. Since Christine picked it up, even if she chose to assume all the responsibilities as the leader of the alliance, she also gained all the powers as the leader of the alliance.

"It doesn't matter. All I want is this identity and status. I will do what Fein has not done."

Kristine put it away properly, then named several high-level alliance officials and came to another small conference room.

The first words after standing still.

"Inform all the forces in Sunshine City that the new leader of the Mountain Folk Mercenary Alliance has taken office. There will be a banquet for guests and they will come to watch the ceremony."

then.

"The entire army is ready for war, ready to use violence to seize all power in Sunshine City."

Christine's resentful gamble finally came to an end, unexpectedly ending with her own victory.

On the other side, Ji Ming, who was behind the torn curtain, finally noticed that his body seemed to have stabilized.

This feeling of being roughly emptied out of your body and then suddenly filled up again is so exciting... I'm scared to death. However, the ending was good. He found that his "Zhengqi Health-nurturing Skill" not only did not decrease after some ups and downs, but also improved by two levels.

So……

First of all, he has thoroughly studied the method of determining Zhengqi, which is a very simple "discussing causes and effects."

Therefore, if you can experience ups and downs of energy while lying in bed, it will only be related to the "cause", and the time when this "cause" was planted is very close to now.

Therefore, when Ji Ming came to the nearby Guardian Knight garrison, in addition to reporting on the explosions he heard before, he also asked them to focus on investigating the Minister of Taxation, Christine.

The church's intelligence network was really powerful. Ji Ming only read comic books for less than an hour in the clinic before receiving fresh information from the knights.

It turned out that after Christine left the clinic under their surveillance at night, she did not return to the handler's office where she usually spent the night, but went all the way east and entered the territory of the mercenaries.

Although the church doesn't know much about this extremely xenophobic area, Finn can rely on a few corrupted believers to cast a wide net to obtain small information. How could the church not have its own way?

They had a very reliable informant who reported that there was an explosion at the Mountaineer Arena at about two o'clock in the middle of the night, which happened to be an hour after Christine entered the East End. The time was quite consistent.

However, after the matter has been investigated to this point, the remaining information does not require the knights to work continuously day and night and work overtime at high intensity.

Because early the next morning, a group of mercenaries came to the commercial street with a golden flag expressing goodwill, and warmly invited Mr. Ji Ming, the chosen one of the Holy Light God, to join Chris, the new leader of the Mountain Mercenary Alliance, at eight o'clock tonight. Miss Ting Pearl's inauguration ceremony.

Even though Ji Ming was mentally prepared, he still made the same noise as countless invitees after hearing the shocking news.

"what?"

In fact, he basically didn't sleep that night after learning that Christine had gone to the East End, and he kept thinking about what the hell this crazy horse was doing.

Could it be that he wanted to convince himself to reconsider his relationship with her by killing all the mercenaries to prove that he would be dedicated to good in the future?

Or do you want to end this mystery, join forces with the mountain mercenaries, and use violent means to forcefully convince yourself with another pronunciation?

He even wondered whether the sad Kristen took the wrong way and accidentally hit the wall, but he never expected that what happened last night would have such a result.

Kristine, you... you are a high-ranking member of the Business Federation, a former princess of Sunshine City, and you must have at least 18 sky-reaching lines on your head.

How did you, a thick-browed man with big eyes, suddenly transform into a respected master that the mountain mercenaries can smile and send out invitations to?

This is as weird as the Rosia Empire holding an election for a new king, and the one who ascended the throne was an old curly blond who was good at playing the accordion!

But no matter how she did it, something big was bound to happen at the Hongmen Banquet tonight.

Looking at the snowflakes that had accumulated on the ground but still showed no intention of stopping, Ji Ming contacted White Wolf Ferro, the manager in charge of internal testing affairs.

If there was really going to be a fight in Sunshine City tonight, since no matter who was fighting anyone, he would be a bastard, then he would definitely bring the players over to help.

So Ji Ming asked Ferro to use the writing battleship system reading "Yangyue" plug-in to continuously dispatch tasks to players from now on.

At least when the banquet is going on tonight, the players must move as widely as possible in the city to ensure that if something happens in the inner city, they can control the outer city as quickly as possible, especially the gate of the outer city.

In addition, he also asked Fairlo to issue a second type of mission. The purpose of this type of mission is to allow players to coerce as many natives in the dungeon as possible to move closer to Sunshine City. When players in the city attack, they should cooperate inside and outside, and in one fell swoop Take control of the outer city of Sunshine City.

However, although the outer city is large, it is just a blood bank that people in the inner city generally don't care about. It is almost a slum and there is a huge protective shield as a partition between it and the inner city in addition to the strictly guarded city gate.

This cover is a defensive device that was jointly established and maintained by them when they signed the peace treaty and announced that the power of Sunshine City was gradually vested in the three major forces in the chaos after the death of the old city lord.

If players want to bring other members of the community into the inner city on a large scale, they must launch an attack on the protective barrier. But so far, no one has forcibly attacked it with force, so even the Holy Light Church does not know about it. What is the intensity of .

Moreover, no matter how much the players build plank roads to hide in Shencang, the limited size of their backpacks means that it is difficult for them to bring some large machinery into the city. Even if they have been dismantled into pieces, they have only transmitted about one artillery battalion so far. The firepower is still a bit too meager for players who are used to being big bombs.

But there’s nothing to worry about. Let the players and their animal friends give it a try first. If it really can’t be broken, they can summon angels in the dragon to give this otherworldly version of Bubble Defense a little magical shock.

After arranging the affairs in the dungeon, Ji Ming set off for the church, wanting to know what kind of arrangements Bishop Tenis had in this situation.

As a result, I found out when I came to the church that when Sunshine City held various social banquets in the past, no matter how annoying the church was, at least some respectable and aristocratic missionaries would be invited to attend, who were considered the nominal masters of this land. The Kingdom of Glow has a little face.

For example, when Sora held a banquet before, he invited himself, who was a new big shot in the inner city, and also invited Eleanor, a great nobleman who came here from the Kingdom of Radiance and was born in Rome, if not a nobleman from Tianhuang.

Even in the mercenary alliance, everyone knows that they are the black gloves of the nobles in the northern border of the deep forest, but at least nominally they give themselves the name of "mountain people", which is a roundabout way to give them a glow. One person will explain.

But this time, apart from himself, no missionary who could represent the Kingdom of Glow was invited in the entire church, as if he had been completely given up.

Kristen is stupid but others are not, so why is it so...unseemly this time?
At this time, various rumors about Kristen spread. In addition to the official statement that "Fern was assassinated and Christine temporarily took over", there are also "Fern was assassinated by Christine", and even "Kristen brazenly killed Finn on the spot". speech.

Although the alliance once again stated that Miss Christine's method of obtaining the position of alliance leader was legitimate and reasonable and recognized by all mercenaries, everyone was just here to have fun. Who would listen to this clarification.

Instead, the description became darker and darker. Now all the people in Sunshine City felt that Christine had killed Finn and usurped the throne, and used her power as a level 40 professional to force them to surrender.

But no matter what the truth of the incident was, the mercenaries were really trying their best to prepare for a grand ceremony. The cold and solemn arena gradually became brighter and brighter, turning into a strange-looking building.

Ridiculously, it is like today's Sunshine City. While maintaining peace and prosperity as much as possible, it is a powder keg that can no longer tolerate even half a spark.
