Chapter 838: The Back of the Mission
It turns out that these hostesses can't give many accurate answers at all.
Ai Luo asked for a long time and listened for a long time. Apart from knowing that there were a lot of bandits, he really didn't know anything.
There was no point in asking any more, and he felt uncomfortable being squeezed among such a large crowd of men, so he walked out as soon as possible and united with several guilds again. After agreeing to act together, he
He led everyone in the guild back home.
However, his question still has not been answered.
Why are there so many bandits?
Why do these bandits appear near Hanhai City?
Why can Hanhai City still tolerate the existence of so many bandits, instead of eradicating them when they are still small, and have to wait until this time to use them as a task in the guild championship battle?
With so many whys, can there be a satisfactory answer?
Arrow doesn't know.
Therefore, the only thing he can do is probably think...
————
The night was already dark, and the entire Hanhai City fell into silence once again.
The lights that were lit with great fanfare because of the upcoming celebration are now gradually extinguished. The castle with light blue light has once again become the "lighthouse" of the world, shining on those who travel alone on that confused sea.
people.
On the third floor of the courtyard, in a small dilapidated house that could barely be lived in, Ai Luo continued to look at the documents in his hand and thought about it, holding the ball of light on his head that was about to go out.
After thinking to a certain stage, he scratched some of the words with his pen, and then wrote other words to explore the possibilities that he could think about.
In such a quiet night, probably only the strange rumbling sounds from the courtyard behind could make Airl feel that the world was at least noisy and noisy.
"what are you thinking about?"
The little white cat jumped on the table, looked at the ball of light that was about to go out, touched the oil lamp next to it, and continued -
"If you don't sleep, didn't you make an appointment with the guild leaders to set off together tomorrow?"
Ai Luo nodded slightly, put down the pen in his hand again, and started writing on the paper.
The pet cat swung its tail, looked at the recorded words, and said, "What are you thinking about? This doesn't seem to be a detailed plan to annihilate the bandits."
Ai Luo was stunned for a moment, as if he had just realized the little white cat in front of him. He couldn't help but smile and said: "I just write and think about some problems... I am like this when I am studying. Once there are some questions
If I can’t figure it out, I can’t sleep easily.”
The little white cat nodded: "You don't need to tell me, you have given me the same impression in the past three years. So, what are you doing?"
Ai Luo exhaled, then put down the pen in his hand, raised his hands and rubbed the sides of his head slightly, and said -
"I'm thinking about what happened to those bandits...where did they come from, and how did they gather into such a large settlement...but no matter how much I think about it, I can't figure it out."
Seeing that Airl was worried about this kind of thing, the little white cat looked a little bored. It waved its hand and said: "You are really interesting as a human. The other guilds are probably studying how to exterminate the bandits."
Faster. It would be better for you to study how they got here instead. Hey, you guys are going to set off in a few hours. Do you still have the heart to care about this? Have you thought about how to kill the bandits? "
Ai Luo rested his head on his hands, shook his body slightly, and said with some boredom: "I have thought about this for a long time~~~It's just that it's not very 'interesting'."
The little white cat's head shook: "Isn't it 'interesting'?"
Ai Luo nodded slightly and continued: "Although it seems that our fifty or so guilds need to plan carefully to deal with a gang of thieves with thousands of people. But in fact, this is also a speed competition task.
.”
"When we announced the mission today, we did not block all viewers, so I'm afraid the news has already leaked. By the time we go to exterminate the bandits, it can be imagined that these bandits are also fully prepared."
"But, so what?"
"One guild kills twenty bandits, which means that as long as more than fifty of our guilds enter this forest and mine, once one of the guilds successfully annihilates a small gang and obtains the twenty required for the mission,
After hearing this, they will immediately retreat and evacuate the battlefield. Then, the area collected by this guild will form a blind spot, and the exploration advantage of our adventurers will disappear."
"As the mission goes on for longer and longer, the number of guilds receiving loot will increase, which means that more and more guilds will quit."
"In this way, even if we have sufficient suppression of these bandits in terms of combat skills at the beginning, the more bandits we kill, the fewer our manpower will be."
"When we hit the back, it is entirely possible that the bandits will be wiped out by us, but the number of our remaining adventurers who have not yet completed their mission will be very few."
"Once the number is reduced to a certain level, the bandits on the defensive side will naturally have an absolute advantage. Therefore, the harder it is to defeat the bandits at the back, the possibility of injuries and deaths in the guild and forcing the guild to withdraw from the game will increase.
The bigger.”
"So, this is a battle that should be fought from the very beginning, while our side is still outnumbered, and rush forward with all our strength. The longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be for us guilds."
The little kitten looked at the short president intently. After he finished speaking, he raised a paw and pressed it on his forehead: "Okay! You have a lot to think about? Then you are still hesitating about so many things.
Well?"
Ai Luo shook his head and said: "But there must be some purpose in it."
"The purpose of the first game is to help interested parties make money. I believe that the money made by those merchants in the first game is definitely not a small amount."
"The second game is to help a certain noble or rich man drive away the residents of that archipelago, so that he can successfully take over the archipelago without getting his hands dirty, and he can even become a
The face of a philanthropist appears before the eyes of the world."
"So, this third mission must have some deeper purpose... This is definitely not as simple as a mission to exterminate bandits!"
Ai Luo held his head and continued to look at the notes he had recorded. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I ignore certain things, then I might unknowingly walk into some of the most terrifying situations."
...I absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen! I'm worried...if something happens that I don't know and can't control, the worst thing may not be as simple as losing the qualification for the competition!
may be……"
At this point, Ai Luo suddenly stopped.
He didn't dare to say the next words, and he didn't dare to think about it... because it was too scary and too dark...!
The little white cat looked into this human's eyes. After studying it for a long time, it jumped up onto Airo's shoulder and gently rubbed its head against Airo's cheek.
The soft touch soothed Ai Luo's spirit a little. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the white and innocent kitten, and smiled slightly: "Thank you..."
"So, what have you figured out now? Tell me? Maybe I can give you some advice? After all, I have lived for such a long time."
Ai Luo curled his lips, then seemed to give up, and said: "Okay! Then let me tell you what I think. Of course, it is not guaranteed to be completely accurate, just for reference. Don't tell other people either.
Ah, I don’t want my members to have too much psychological pressure.”
The little cat jumped back on the table, sat down, and nodded slightly: "Just tell me, I promise not to leak the secret."
Ai Luo smiled, then moved the note in his hand slightly upward, pointed at the first possibility with his pen and said -
"First of all, it's this one - laziness."
"In other words, the reason why such a large group of bandits appeared is entirely because the royal family was lazy and did not want to properly manage these bandits, so they allowed them to develop and grow."
Little White Cat: "Is it possible? Isn't the easiest thing for you humans to do is this kind of stupidity and incompetence? There have been many times in history, right?"
Ai Luo breathed out: "There have indeed been many absurd monarchs and emperors in our human history, but after thinking about it carefully, the possibility of this one is really low."
"Because our Emperor is old and has been bedridden for several years now. The one who is actually in charge of our Blue Bay Empire now is our Crown Prince. I am more or less the Crown Prince.
Those who know a little bit, he is not the kind of incompetent person who can make a group of bandits grow into a large scale of a thousand people."
As he spoke, Aiello recalled the crown prince he saw through the glass at the opening ceremony of the Guild Championship that day. That person did not look like a fatuous and incompetent person.
The little white cat was noncommittal: "Where's the next one?"
Ai Luo vomited a little, pointed to the next item, and said: "The second item is absolute self-confidence. I think our Crown Prince is very likely to deal with this matter."
"This gang of thousands of thieves may have been noticed by our royal family's army a long time ago, but it has never been annihilated. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought that this gang of thieves seemed to be a good target for the mission, so he let it go
