Standing at 2 meter tall, Violent Dragon was as well-built as a black bear . The fact that he managed to become a legion commander showed that his brain was not just made out of muscle . There was substance in it too .
He said in a low voice, “The Iron Nation has carried out a total of 13 killings . All of them have been successful . ”
“They went around the two military fortresses . Our casualties include 33 commanders and 246 soldiers . ”
“I also discovered one thing . If they had not brought so many soldiers with them, my subordinates would not have suffered such heavy losses . ”
“The assassins from the Iron Nation targeted middle level commanders . Needless to say, their aim is to eliminate the management of the legions, and then attack the core of our military . ”
“Based on their actions, we concluded that their rations are limited . It can be said that they will attack soon . ”
When he and William entered a house, he did not ask to shake hands again . He pretended as if he had forgotten about the opening gambit . He started to explain the recent assassinations .
William glanced at Violent Dragon's right hand, which was trembling . He looked at the signs on the map and nodded . “Scouts, patrol troops, grain transport troops . They are all targets of assassinations . Have you thought about ambushing the assassins instead?”
Violent Dragon gritted his teeth . “We did think of it . We even attempted an ambush on the execution team led by Augustine, but it was not effective . We need to have a few strong people for such tasks . They must also be foreign enough . If not, based on how cautious they are, they will definitely guess that it is a trap . ”
He pointed at the map . “Due to such a nimble and powerful execution team, the communications between this city and the two military fortresses have been cut off . Dawn Team Leader, do you have any plans?”
William rubbed his chin and thought about it . He had heard about them in his previous life . This execution team was very powerful, but he was unhappy that they fought with brute force . He was afraid that he would bully them too much, and, thus, he had never interacted with them .
But according to the information on the forum, the average level in the execution team was around level 50 . The lowest bloodline potential was epic . They would not be easily surrounded .
Most of the nations had similar execution teams, elite teams, and teams of ace killers . Ordinary people were no match for them . They were often tasked with the most key missions, and if they had to kill, the targets would be the most important people . They were a group of crazy and violent killers who could not be stopped .
Moreover, this… was a boss team!
They were similar to the team that William had formed from the elites from each legion to help him slay the dragon .
It was like the 300 Dragon's blood warriors .
But the commander of the execution team, legendary Augustine, was too powerful .
With the internal strife occurring in the Black Lava Nation, they temporarily could not pick out so many experts to fight against them .
After all, experts did not randomly gather . The execution team of a nation was typically grouped together from different legions .
“Don't worry, I know where they are hiding…” William pushed away Violent Dragon, who was in shock . He placed three small flags on the sand table .
Violent Dragon took a closer look and immediately understood what William meant . He muttered, “The broken Devil's Den, the east of Rhine River . Are you serious about the last location?”
“It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not . But let me warn you, don't act rashly . I know these three locations, but I do not know where they are hiding now . ” William picked his eyebrows . The last location was the underground of this city .
No one even knew that there was an underground path beneath this city . It connected to a place five kilometers away .
“I will not alert the enemy, but it is evident that they did not dig this path recently . They dug it up a long time ago for future use . It looks like the Iron Nation has been planning this for a very long time . ”
Violent Dragon was stunned . The Black Lava Nation and the Iron Nation had always been enemies, ever since they were established . They initiated raids against each other . They even fought wars to conquer each other .
In the history of the Black Lava Nation, they had almost been eliminated three times . Under those circumstances, they had no choice but to abandon the cities by the border and use the Black Lava Palace to defend against attacks .
It would be understandable if their enemy had dug up the pathway then .
“After all, the three empires have said that wars to conquer human nations cannot last beyond one year . But the Iron Nation already planned for this and made preparations . It seems as if they want to take over the Black Lava Nation in one year . ”
William respected the rule that the three human empires had set . The reason why this rule was created was very simple . The empires were worried that the civilians would suffer greatly . They were also afraid that the human professionals would be too exhausted .
The wise men in the empires were very smart . They knew that humans had almost unlimited ambition, and which King did not want power and authority .
If nations continued to fight each other, the humans would be too exhausted . They would not be able to stabilize the legendary continent . Perhaps, their fate may turn out to be like the elves in the past, and they may make a retreat from the prosperous territory in the legendary continent .
Thus, ever since this rule was established, it was not easy for the human nations to start wars .
They were unable to eliminate nations within a year . Other than the goods they had stolen, they had to retreat and return the territories and cities .
But the nations at a disadvantage were nimble . Typically, before war started, they would move the people, wealth, and animals at the cities near the borders away . They did not even leave any fur for their enemies .
In short, if you were unable to eliminate a nation, you would not be able to obtain the greatest benefits . On the contrary, you would exhaust your wealth, resources, and manpower .
Violent Dragon's head hurt a little . It was unavoidable to have a few spies within the city . While there were no spies in the military fortress, there would be people on guard, watching their every move . As long as the Black Lava Nation sent out large troops, the execution team would definitely be alerted . Thus, it was impossible to surround the three hiding spots at the same time without raising suspicion .
“If you want to eliminate the execution team, there is one possibility . ” When Violent Dragon said this, he looked at William .
The corners of the prince's lips twitched . He quickly waved his hand . “If you want to use me as bait, sure . Tell me what the benefits are . ”
“Evidently, you have talked to the King and agreed to get rid of Augustine . ” Violent Dragon was somewhat furious . In anger, his fist was again raised . But when William gazed at him, he slowly lowered his fist .
William did not seem to care . “That is a different matter altogether . I talked to him about the eventual results and winnings from the war . If you want to use me as bait to eliminate Augustine, you should prepare some benefits . ”
The corners of Violent Dragon's lips twitched . He had been told that William was a half-elf, and that he was extremely greedy and cunning . Thus, he did not plan to drag on . He simply said, “Then, Dawn Team Leader, please change into our armor . Lead the patrol troops as bait . ”
“As for the benefits, let's start the trade of slaves . What do you think?” Violent Dragon smiled . He thought that he had identified the weak spot of the city lord .
“No!”
William shook his head decisively . He laughed . “I am just the lord of a small city . Why do I need so many people?”
“Then what do you want?” Violent Dragon picked his eyebrows . Wasn't William the biggest buyer of slaves in the southeast region?
William waved his finger . “I am the leader of a mercenary team . We will go to war in a few days . I have to obtain some benefits for my subordinates, right? Contact your King . ”
“…” Violent Dragon looked at his cheeky expression . He could not help but want to hit him . Rationally, this was none of his business .
But William wanted to use this request to disgust him . He did not directly discuss with the stand-in King . He was making things difficult for both of them .
In particular, he knew that Violent Dragon could not drag on for too long…
After some bargaining, they decided on a daily charge for the Dawn Mercenary Team!
10 silver coins per person per day . This did not include experience .
“Not much, not much . If I take two silver coins from each person, with 50 thousand people, everyday, I can earn… ahem . How much was the tax again?” William stretched his fingers and happily went off to become bait .
