Chapter 246 Chapter 246 Paper War
"Come, come, eat!"

The sound of the wooden spoon hitting the wok was so familiar that Dagon opened his eyes almost immediately. Today's meal is braised pork belly with cabbage, the taste is so familiar, he doesn't need to use the dragon sense to observe the iron pot to know.

Don't think pork belly refers to pork, the standard of living in Canine Fortress is not that high. The dead horses, mules, and donkeys are the main output of meat, the big voles, frogs and snails in the river are responsible for assisting, and the rough well salt is responsible for sublimating the taste of this dish. In any case, no meat can cover the irritating, strange and wicked smell of inferior well salt that makes the tongue and esophagus uncomfortable. Only when one's stomach is hungry enough, can one reluctantly secrete some saliva and have the urge to eat this strange meal.

Dagon resisted the urge to check the gear at hand.

In a blink of an eye, it's been more than a month since I arrived at Canine Fortress. Dagon finally got rid of his "nothing to do rookie" status, spent five gold coins for management, and didn't want to remember at a certain Dagon. Under the bewildered gaze of the clerk with the name, he was able to be incorporated into the "23rd Hammer Team" and became a member of the Vanguard Team.

It is said to be Vanguard Team, but it is no different from Suicide Squad. There are twenty people in total, and they have to leave the canine fortress and walk into the Northland for investigation. They can't even prepare the sentries in all four directions. If this is not called Suicide Squad, there will be no Suicide Squad.

Dagon took out the lunch box, had the only "cook" in the line serve a bowl of soup, and took a hardbread from his dirty hands. If you compare everyone's lunch boxes carefully, Dagon gets relatively little food, which is related to the fact that everyone doesn't know him at all and doesn't know what use he is. Dagon didn't argue, and didn't want to take command from the one-eyed person Captain in the team, who figured out how to come here for one reason: Team 23 of the Hammers had seen the stone watchtower melted by fire.

When he heard the news at the Elite Academy, Dagon was immediately alert to associate it with Bono's alchemy tactics, which is why he was determined to come to the front to see and defend his compatriots. . But when they arrived at Canine Tooth Fortress, whether it was the Jiangu people stationed here or the human, half-elf, and half-orc mercenaries who came to help, they didn't pay attention to the news.

"Is this the encounter with a powerful flame shaman?" Everyone believed this explanation even more. "There aren't many shamans like this. It's just unlucky to meet them, and I'm definitely not the next unlucky guy."

This is relatively polite. These failed things are meant to demoralize. If it weren't for his 100% Jiangu appearance and dress, and the main beard ring was made of pure gold, he would probably be interrogated as a spy.

This war was fought very strangely. In Myris, from what he heard, Dagon felt that the front line was fierce and urgent. The Jiangu clan asked for help everywhere, and the elves were "incapable of helping them", so they paid mercenaries to help, and also used credits and contribution points to help the Academy's students.

But the actual situation is completely different. At least the canine fortress is not so urgent. The solid city defense and the continuous bunkers connected by tunnels make the enemy have no desire to attack. The daily task of most of the defenders is to keep watch on the city wall. The real danger is only those warriors who guard the bunkers in the forward positions. They have to face constant siege and harassment, and casualties also occur here.

But as long as the underground tunnel is still in the hands of the Jiangu clan, the wounded can be sent back, supplements can be sent up, and the stalemate continues. Although several bunkers were indeed breached, the defenders there also left in time through the tunnel, and used Jiangu technology to destroy the bunker, as well as its part with the Dao Idol Company, to stop the loss.

Some people were injured and some died, so the canine fortress looked towards the elves for help, with sincere words and tears, as if the end of the world. The Jiangu clan in the Canine Fortress all believed that "the crying child has milk to eat", "there is absolutely no problem in doing this", "our lords have sacrificed their face and gained benefits". They were not worried about the dangers of the war ahead.

In addition to the Jiangu clan lords who kept crying to the elves, there was also a group of people spreading the news of the war crisis, that is, the troubadours. They wept miserably in the tavern in Myris, and they were the same, chanting funny tunes and whitewashing peace in the canine fortress. People of all races are immersed in the fragrance of alcohol and milk with the accompaniment of songs, how can there be any emergency.

Dagon sighed and tossed the hardbreads into the broth, making them as soft as possible for the teeth. He sat in a small dirt pit and waited patiently, reflecting on his own experience this month. Now he understands why the carriage, who started from Myris, treats him so badly, and why he wants to take more of himself.

It turned out to be a business.

The mercenaries who took money from the elves came to the fortress and had no job at all. The frontline commanders of the Jiangu tribe didn't want these mobs at all, and only messed up their own command. So there is a new business: sending tasks to mercenaries. The lord of the Dogtooth Fortress specially arranged a trade union to be responsible for arranging the tasks of the mercenaries in an official capacity, and to issue a task book and a completion certificate. With these two things, you can justifiably obey the employment fee given by the elves to receive money.

Of course you can't take all the money you get in this way. So in the eyes of the driver, Dagon was going to cheat money. He was an accomplice and was qualified to share the spoils.

Dagon spent a month trying to sort out the relationship inside, only to find it dirty and messy. But Reid said to him: "What you can understand in a month is only the surface, and there are things inside that will take you six months, two years or even ten years to understand. Think about it, where does the money come from? Who gets it, who's in charge of getting it, and how it's designed step by step to make it happen. Then combine the horsehair theory and think about it."

Dagon finds the theory and observation interesting , The reality is very sad, the canine fortress is busy dividing money, and the front war does not collapse. Of course, they felt that the fortresses, fortresses and underground passages that were built were so large, how could they collapse. And the elf is on the side, and it won't look at the canine fortress really having a problem. There are two states of "too big to fail" and "too big to fail" at the same time.

Perhaps only Dagon felt the danger of the entire Dogtooth Fortress, only he knew that Bono's alchemy tactics could knock down the Dogtooth Fortress, but no one listened to his words. So he tried every means to inquire about relevant clues, and then bought a task and came to the "Hammer No. 23" square.

"Hey, new here, can't you eat? Why are you so squeamish?" The cook scraped the bottom of the pot with a spoon, but he could not possibly conjure more food out of thin air. "If you can't eat it, you can give it to others, but when the time comes to catch mice and eat it yourself, I won't help."

Dagon smiled and continued to stir the soup at a moderate pace. He picked a small piece of meat with a spoon, put it in front of the beard, and sniffed the star helmet sticking out his head, and decided not to aggrieve himself, but retreated and continued to sleep. Anyway, Dagon still brought halfling cakes and sausages, he wouldn't just watch the bear lizard starve to death.

"Cook, stop talking nonsense and think of ways to get something to eat. Besides stewing monster meat in dirty water, which is monster meat stewing in dirty water, what else can you do?" The brawny man of the Jiangu tribe with Yellow Teeth replied: "You should be worried that we won't catch mice when we're hungry, we'll catch you first."

"I won't eat." Another said : "Maybe he has cooked him well, and the taste is not as good as this strange broth!"

"Yes, it must be sultry, smelly, and especially evil!"

Eating I had to compliment the cook before, and after dinner, just say it casually. Dagon was still eating, so he kept his mouth shut and said nothing. At this point, the one-eyed person Captain came over, waved away the person who was sitting next to Dagon, and took that spot.

"Go back after you finish this meal, and your mission is complete." Captain said: "Just follow along and go here. If you go further, you won't be given more money, but your life may be. Give it away."

"I don't want to give up halfway." Dagon shook his head: "The matter I want to investigate has not been completed, so I won't go back like this."

"It's you who asked The fire that burned the bunker in the past? You still don't believe what I said?" one-eyed person snorted, said: "I told you very clearly, a flame shaman summed the fire pillar from the void, and directly smashed the bunker from the bunker. Fired from the inside out. Due to the timely retreat, there was no loss except for a few minor burns.”

“The bunker is gone.” Dagon said, “I want to see the burned bunker.”

p>

"Do you have any relatives there?" the one-eyed person asked frowned, "Do you feel that you don't get enough money from your injuries, so you want to put pressure on our lord?"

"You think too much, I just want to see there." Dagon said: "I heard that it is not far from your patrol route this time, you can just point me in the direction."

"Nothing to see, just a pile of rubble."

Dagon shook his head, indicating that this was not the answer he wanted.

"Don't talk nonsense with this stupid rock, it's just behind that mountain. See that mountain that looks like a fist? After going over it, go down to the ground and next to the creek of the river is the tower ." The cook began to pack and re-bundle the pot. "Captain, he will go as soon as he wants. It's not with us anyway. What do you care about him?"

"He thinks he's very powerful - just look at his eyes and you can understand." Another The man said: "Is this kid confusing adventure with war? He must not know the price we paid to take this safe road. Let him go wherever he wants, you are not his father and Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Shut up!" said one-eyed person Captain, "There's nothing to see in that crappy place, but I won't stop you if you want to go, just If something goes wrong, take care of it yourself, don't expect us to listen when you call for help. If you leave the patrol's safe path, you're going to die, and that's what your legs are asking for."

"Thank you for showing me the way. ." Dagon nodded and said, "I'll leave after I finish my meal."
