Chapter 298 Kavi: Unhappy
Harold said without hesitation: "No need."
The mercenary opened his mouth: "...But——"
"To raid the headquarters of the 'God King's Legacy', we must rush to the headquarters without being noticed before they deploy all their troops to ambush.
This means we must move at night and rush from here to here before dawn. Too many people will affect the speed of movement and will also make the scouts of the "Legacy of the God King" notice something unusual."
Harold lowered his head and used his finger to draw a line between a point near the ambush point set by "Legacy of the God-King" and the camp of "Ahmar's Beard". The two points were more than 300 kilometers apart.
How can this be! !
Except for Jade and Gabriel, who were informed of the entire plan in advance, the same thought flashed through the minds of the mercenaries standing around the table.
Taking into account the logistical supply of each mercenary group, as well as the fact that it is easy to get lost during a long journey in the desert or miss the meeting time due to sandstorms, and the fact that the headquarters is hidden and unknown to outsiders, the "God King's Legacy" does not need to deliberately bypass the headquarters to make arrangements, so the ambush point they set is not very far from the headquarters.
But even so, it is impossible to run such a long distance in a few hours relying on a pair of flesh legs, even if the team is full of elite mercenaries.
And why did they have to go against the headquarters? Wouldn't it be better to know the ambush point in advance, slow down when approaching that place, and use that place as the decisive battle after being fully prepared, or simply take a detour and let those people catch nothing?
But what these mercenaries could think of, Harold could not have failed to consider, he must have another plan.
The mercenaries present thought so, and waited quietly for Harold to continue speaking with full of doubts.
Jade couldn't help but glance at the expressions on everyone's faces. Seeing that everyone was in doubt, she couldn't help but feel a little smug:
Ha, my dad and I both know what’s going on!
Just now when Harold told us about his plan, even my dad and I were shocked. What will be everyone’s reaction after hearing his shocking plan?
Jade felt a little excited.
Harold seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and explained calmly:
"I have planted an insider in the 'Relic of the God King'. We agreed to blow it up when the headquarters was holding a leaders' meeting, capture all the brigade leaders in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to hunt down the brigade members who were leaderless.
The explosion destroyed the headquarters, and the leader was missing. They must have been in a panic and had no intention of fighting.
The members of the brigade that we have instigated to defect will immediately take up their swords and become our helpers. The Legacy of the God King will definitely suffer huge losses this time, and it is not surprising that several affiliated mercenary groups will disappear. "
Hearing this, the mercenaries could not help but whisper to each other. Harold's words explained to them why they did not choose to fight a decisive battle at the ambush point: because the terrain there was open, and even if they won, they would not be able to eliminate all the captains of the Gilded Brigade belonging to the "Legacy of the God-King".
But at the same time, it brought them new questions: planting an insider? Planting explosives? Inciting the enemy to revolt?
...No, you have been staying in the caravan the whole time. When did you do it?
Did you start making arrangements before we set out?! Did you know that we would be attacked this time?!
The mercenaries looked at Harold with respect and a bit of fear:
The god of war Amyrito is so terrifying.
Harold continued calmly, "In order to achieve this goal and increase the plan's error tolerance, I made the route very long.
Although the headquarters of the 'God King' is near the ambush point, they will definitely arrive in advance, and this time will not exceed three days. However, if the action is too late, when we arrive at the headquarters, the last combat meeting will have ended.
At this time, we can also disguise ourselves as members of the "Ahmar's Beard" - they are the insiders, and the entire mercenary group is mixed into the ambush team, and outflank the "God King's Legacy" from the front and back with the caravan.
But we lost the opportunity to capture all the group leaders in one fell swoop. As I said just now, this will be a great loss for us and for future caravans that will take this route."
After hearing this, the others nodded repeatedly, saying that eliminating the enemy leader was the most important step.
Harold smiled and said, "As for how to walk all these roads in one night..."
...
Kavi paced anxiously outside the tent. He didn't know why he was excluded from the plan. He thought that Harold's selection criteria was to have the Eye of God, but now it seems that this is not the case.
There were a group of merchants and mercenaries with heavy faces around him. Some of them had the same doubts as Kavi, and some were worried: how could they compete with the several mercenary groups of "Legacy of the God-King" with just such a small number of people?
An hour later, they finally waited for the people inside to come out.
The mercenaries who walked out of the tents all had no worries on their faces, and they excitedly waved to their companions:
"Don't be nervous!"
"Don't worry!"
"Our Lord 'God of War' has already arranged everything!"
Harold heard this as soon as he walked out of the tent. The corners of his mouth twitched. Although he felt very embarrassed inside, he still smiled to maintain his outward decency.
"We will rest here for three days to buy homemade bacon and handicrafts from the villagers and replenish our goods!" Harold announced loudly.
Everyone still remembered what Harold had said in the tent. Once these words were spoken, everyone responded. The merchant in charge of the accounts also took out the list of goods he had just counted and asked Harold to review it.
After Haroldt arranged the acquisition tasks for the next few days in public, he announced the disbandment. The merchants and mercenaries quickly returned to their respective posts. Kavi walked to Haroldt and walked with him towards the village chief's house.
"Harold, what do you want to do?" Kavi couldn't help asking.
"That's it..."
Harold whispered part of his plan to Kavi.
Kavi couldn't help but hiss after hearing this, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed: "Why don't you take me with you? I'm obviously very strong!"
"Because I have more important things that need your help." Harold said.
"What?!" Kavi asked quickly.
"As myself during my absence," Harold replied, laughing.
"Ah? Oh... to paralyze the enemy... No! Why don't you find someone else to do this? I have the Eye of the Grass God, I am an important fighting force, it would be a waste if you don't put me in the team!" Kavi muttered dissatisfiedly.
Harold spread his hands and said, "The others are either too dark or too different in body shape. Only you, senior—we are about the same height and body shape, so it's most appropriate for you to do this."
"I'm obviously taller than you—"
Kavi suddenly paused as he spoke. He looked at the top of Haroldt's head in astonishment, and then gestured with his hands in disbelief.
Huh? Harold is taller than me? When did that happen?!
"This is also an important part. I can only feel at ease if I hand it over to you, senior." Harold laughed at Kavi's resentful look, "Next time, next time I will definitely arrange your God's Eye and Elemental Power to more important places."
Like my research institute, Harold thought.
After several months of absence, my flowers are already thirsty and they really need the elemental power from my senior.
