Chapter 297 Harold: Meeting!

Chapter 297 Harold: Meeting!

After using a bad check to deal with Jade and Gabriel, Harold wrote back to Kusela.

This time, he described his arrangement and the tools he would use in detail so as not to scare him when they met.

After doing all this, he brought Jade and Gabriel to the caravan camp. Since they had learned that they would be facing the "Relics of the God-King", most of the mercenaries were training outside the tents.

The businessmen also showed their daggers and guns in a serious manner. Although some of them had received shooting training, they could only shoot at moving targets at best and had never shot down a wild bird.

Seeing Haroldt, a businessman quickly put away his gun and rushed forward, lowering his voice and saying:

"Leader, we just had a discussion and decided that we need to rest in Aru Village for two weeks, distribute guns and ammunition to trustworthy mercenaries, and teach them how to shoot. This way, when we encounter the 'Relic of the God King', our chances of winning will be much higher."

"There's no need for that. Besides, ordinary bullets have limited lethality and are not as good as their own weapons," Harold replied.

The weapons here refer to the weapons that seal the residual soul. In the era of the Red King, the great inventor Akhmar created various self-regulating mechanisms and weapons that can release elemental forces.

The former are still active in various ruins, while the latter are scattered in desert tribes, becoming sharp blades in the hands of the Red King's people, giving them the power to fight against the owner of the Eye of God.

This kind of weapon is used by the original demons such as "Pure Water in the Sand" and "Ice in the Blazing Sun" in the game.

In the real Teyvat continent, such weapons are naturally limited. Except for a few lucky ones, they often only fall into the hands of the strongest in the tribe. Among the mercenaries hired for Dolly this time, in addition to several owners of the Eye of God, there are some who have such weapons.

The rest of the mercenaries who used cold weapons such as knives, bows and crossbows were allocated a certain number of potion bottles - the same kind used by the pharmacists of the treasure-stealing group, which were very suitable for ambush people.

Who still uses guns these days? Are you trying to look cool? You have to believe in the almighty power of elements.

Harold thought about it and touched the revolver in his waist bag.

Hearing this, the businessman in front of Harold wiped his gun awkwardly.

Harold: "But we do need to rest for a while - call everyone back, I have something to tell you."

"Okay!" The businessman was moved and agreed immediately.

Soon, all the merchants and mercenaries crowded into the largest tent. Harold used elemental power to make a round table, sat at the top, and spread a map on the table.

The rest of the people stood around the table three times, and even those standing in the last row could see the drawings on the table clearly.

…Why does the atmosphere now seem so similar to the siege of Guangmingding by the six major sects?

Harold complained in his heart, then said calmly: "Everyone should have heard this rumor: 'The Legacy of the God King' is preparing to rob our caravan--"

Harold paused deliberately, and a whisper of discussion began to be heard among the crowd.

Haroldt's tone remained unchanged as he continued, "I want to tell you that this information is completely true. My informant has confirmed it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tent suddenly became noisy, with exclamations, discussions, and curses in different accents interweaving together. At the same time, some people were shocked that Harold had planted an informant in the "Relics of the God King".

But the noises were subtly kept within a reasonable range - they never drowned out the sound of Haroldt's words.

Therefore, Harold did not slam the table to signal everyone to be quiet, but continued: "But please don't panic, I have a response strategy.

We will stay here for three days. Except for the people I mentioned, everyone else's life will continue as usual. Those who should do business should do business, and those who should stroll around should stroll around. Gatherings and exercises like today are strictly prohibited. What I said now must not be leaked out at all.

If my plan fails due to someone's personal reasons, he won't have the chance to appear in the rainforest again."

After hearing this, both the merchants and mercenaries were silent. They both knew that it would not be difficult to accomplish this with Dolly's connections, but at the same time, doubts arose in their minds: Those were the "Relics of the God-King", a group of villains who had been causing trouble for many years. Could they be so easy to deal with?

"Next, I will report the list--"

Harold slowly read out the names that had been decided long ago, one by one.

Everyone held their breath, afraid of missing out.

"…Gabriel, Jade."

Ending with the newly hired father and daughter, Harold paused and said, "... That's it. The rest of you can leave."

After Haroldt finished speaking, those who were on the list and those who were not on the list were all worried. Although those who were not named were still doubtful, they still walked out of the tent one after another according to Haroldt's request, and the space in the tent suddenly became empty.

Harold sat quietly waiting for the extra people to leave, while the others looked curiously at the two extra people: Gabriel and Jade, a strong and tall man who looked to be in his thirties, and a girl who was obviously underage.

The well-informed people already knew that these were mercenaries hired by the leader himself, and they were very curious about their strength. Many people were worried that these two people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere would not be able to cooperate with them, which could be fatal in a life-and-death battle.

After everyone was evacuated, Harold continued the previous topic.

"Okay, the rest of you, you are all the elites in our team. The next battlefield is your stage. Please look carefully at this picture. This is where the 'Relics of the God King' are preparing to ambush us. This is their headquarters."

Harold said as he placed a cross-shaped rock formation and a circular rock formation on the map, representing the two points just mentioned.

"'Ahmar's Beard' is stationed in the southeast of the headquarters, 'Ahmar's Arm' is in the northwest, and nearby are 'Ahmar's Sword' and 'Ahmar's Shield'. The leaders of the three mercenary groups are very close friends, and the members often spar with each other in private. Their cohesion when they gather together should not be underestimated.

To the south is the 'Eye of Akhmar', to the southeast is the 'Spear of Akhmar', and to the northeast is the 'Spine of Akhmar'. They are stationed on the hill above the headquarters, but they are the weakest of all the mercenary groups and are the outposts of the headquarters. Their members will set up a lookout and take turns on duty when the headquarters holds a meeting, and immediately sound the alarm in case of an enemy attack."

Every time Harold mentioned a mercenary group, he would place a rock object on the map. The mercenaries in the tent were originally considering the authenticity of the information given by Harold, but as the number of rock objects increased, their mood became heavier and the issue they considered became the combat power gap between the enemy and us.

Finally, a mercenary couldn't help but speak up: "Captain, we only have so many people. It's hard for one person to fight ten. How about we select another group of people?"

After hearing this, although the others in the tent did not express their support immediately, they secretly agreed in their hearts and felt that what he said was correct.
