Chapter 385 Captain Durer, Captain Mole
Jean To reported the current situation to Kashin with a relaxed look: "Sir, we have been tracking this church armed force for a whole week. According to the feedback from the brothers who have come back from the front, the enemy is in a very bad condition now. Their strength seems to be gradually weakening, and their morale is also quite low. But in my opinion, now is not the best time to launch an attack. We might as well wait a little longer."
Kashin nodded, agreeing with Jean Tocque's opinion, and praised: "Jean, you did a great job leading the team this time! You know, our more than 300 senior hunters and assassins are all regular troops of the Mercenary Association. I know their origins very well. These people are brave men summoned through invitation letters sent by the headquarters to all parts of the world. Most of them are from the Principality of Roland."
Hearing this, Jean Tocque couldn't help but feel a little confused. He frowned and asked, "Invitation letter? How come I have never heard of this?"
Kashin smiled and explained slowly, "Haha, Rang, this is not surprising. After all, the headquarters has all kinds of secret books for everyone to exchange, but the prerequisite is that you need to complete some tasks that can attract the attention of the headquarters. Maybe it's because you have never received such an important task before, so you know nothing about it."
At this time, Jean Toc suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, the captain has performed several missions related to magicians, so he must have known about the invitation letter because of that. So if there is really a chance to go to the headquarters to practice for a while, do you think it is worth it?"
Kashin thought for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Of course it's worth it! You know, there are countless hunter secrets collected in the headquarters. If you can accumulate enough merit points to exchange for learning opportunities, it will definitely be of great benefit to your strength improvement..."
After chatting with Jean Tocque for an hour, Kashin talked with the temporary captain of the assassins and the captain of the hunters of the mercenary association. They were the ones with the highest rank and merit, and automatically became the captains of this operation.
After chatting with Jean Tocque for an hour, Kashin talked with the temporary captain of the assassins and the captain of the hunters of the mercenary association. They all became captains automatically in this operation due to their own ranks and merits.
After the conversation, the two captains seemed to have taken a reassurance pill. They never expected that Ankola City had been controlled. In this way, the chances of winning were almost certain.
Considering that Sheldon Castle had invited a group of magicians to help, this was completely reasonable. After all, magicians possessed powerful and mysterious powers that could play a decisive role at critical moments. And this head of the Kashen family had come from Ankola City.
The captain of the assassins was of medium build, wearing leather armor, with his face covered by a mask. Only his pair of blue eyes were particularly deep, as if he could see through everything. "Master Kashin, this operation is undoubtedly a sure win. At the beginning, our Crocodile Chairman asked us to join the battle. Four hundred against one hundred thousand, this huge difference in military strength is really unbelievable. However, the military order is like a mountain, and we have to come. After the experience of the past few days, we are absolutely full of confidence now. Can I understand that your appearance, Master, means that it is time for the general attack?"
"Captain Dule, you can think so, haha! As for the bloodbath in Ankola City, it is not in the plan, please rest assured. In this meeting, even if we don't control Ankola City, we are fully prepared and have a sure win. Controlling Ankola City is just an accident. It's just that after our team released the advertisement, the progress was smooth, which is just the icing on the cake." Kashin explained patiently.
The hunter captain known as Mole was burly and strong, with bronze skin showing that he had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time. He laughed heartily and said, "Of course, those guys are almost starving to death. Where can they run? Since the conflict with the church's armed forces, the church has killed many of our brothers. If we can achieve a great victory this time, we will definitely be rewarded and will also be able to severely hit the arrogance of the church's armed forces..."
Kashin smiled gently and said gratefully: "I heard that you hunters have taught my scouts carefully. I am very grateful. They are all apprentices of our family. I hope you will not despise their dullness..."
"Haha, as assistants to our hunter brothers, they are very serious in providing fire support and reconnaissance work. They are all a group of good young people. Your equipment is impressive. Although they are still apprentices, the new recurve bows they are equipped with are really powerful and they are not a drag in the operation..."
After gradually getting familiar with these two, coordinating operations was no longer a problem. In addition, the supplies were very sufficient, so the people of the Mercenary Association were very satisfied with the arrangements for this trip.
Kashin found a tree and began to meditate, taking a good rest to recharge his energy.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Jean Tocque announced that the team should stop and set up camp because they could no longer get too close and had to follow from a distance.
A large amount of meat was taken from the backs of the wargs and used to feed them. In just a short while, the packs carried by the hundreds of wargs armed by the merchant group were completely empty. You know, the amount of meat consumed by these mounts in a day is like a small mountain.
This huge appetite also indirectly reflects the importance of the wolves in the operation and the huge cost required.
Kashin, Jean Tocque, and the senior hunters of the Mercenary Association carefully explored the surrounding situation, trying to analyze the current situation of the church's armed forces through various clues.
"They are extremely hungry, and the weeds have been dug up, especially the tuberous plants. They are astringent and not tasty, but they are non-toxic and strong, and can help keep people hungry..." Captain Mole said with a smile on his face, staring at a hole in the ground.
Jean Tocque said with disdain: "Taste is nothing in the face of hunger. They eat everything now. Although weeds and tubers don't taste good, they are good for the body. At least they can maintain basic health." His tone was full of contempt, as if he was extremely mocking the current miserable situation of the church armed forces.
Kashin glanced at the plucked plants around him, smiled and said, "Their physical strength has begun to decline at the moment. We can make a tentative attack tonight. At least we can't let them rest comfortably."
Jean Toc hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Captain Kashin, wait a minute, let's talk about it tomorrow. They definitely can't run away. Every once in a while, their strength will weaken a little. If they are fearless and charge in a group, or break out in separate ways, we really won't be able to do anything to them for a while. They eat these hard-to-swallow junk foods every day, and their bodies won't last long. We don't need to alert them, let's wait a little longer..."
You know, in this situation, any decision could affect the final outcome. Kashin's idea made sense, he wanted to take advantage of the enemy's physical exhaustion to take the initiative to attack.
But Jean Tocque's consideration was not without reason. He was worried that the enemy would burst out with strong resistance in a desperate situation, thus causing unnecessary losses to his side. This was a game of psychology and strategy. Whoever could grasp the opportunity more accurately would win in the end.
